Coinbase Stock Rockets Over $300 Amid Renewed Optimism for Crypto Industry

Coinbase shares soared over 20% on November 11, breaking the $300 mark for the first time since 2021.

The surge in U.S. crypto stocks follows the re-election of Donald Trump, with many anticipating a friendlier stance on digital assets from the new administration..

Analysts like Morningstar’s Michael Miller noted that the election outcome could ease regulatory pressures on Coinbase, especially regarding its staking services, which have faced scrutiny from the SEC. The expected policy shift may also boost cryptocurrency prices overall.

In a post on November 6, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed optimism, saying Trump’s victory represents a significant show of support for the crypto industry. He also suggested that the new Congress would likely be the most crypto-friendly yet, marking a shift from previous opposition led by Senator Warren and SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
