Greenidge Generation outperformed other crypto miners, as the Wall Street firm B. Riley hiked the company’s price target and earnings estimates citing its expansion plans.
- Greenidge shares (GREE) rose more than 6%, while most crypto miners were down on Tuesday, making the stock’s share price jump all the more notable.
- The miner said on Oct. 25 that it is eyeing expansion into Texas and buying a site in South Carolina, as well as doubling its recent order of S19j Pro mining machines from Bitmain to 22,500 units, bringing the total order to 29,000 miners.
- The company, which merged with Support.com to go public, also said that it now expects to have an electrical capacity of over 500 megawatts by 2023. The company previously forecast reaching the capacity by 2025.
- In a research note, B. Riley analyst Lucas Pipes raised his 2022 adjusted EBITDA estimate for Greenidge to $150.7 million from prior expectations of $115.2 million, citing its larger order for miners, and raised the company’s 12-month price target to $82 per share from $78.
- Pipes, who has a buy rating on the stock, also expects the miner to earn adjusted EBITDA of $240.2 million in 2023, a 59% increase from the prior year’s estimate.
- B. Riley initiated coverage of Greenidge on Sept. 29, saying the miner’s “low probability of equity dilution is a key differentiation from the peer group.”

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Coinbase’s Base faces builder backlash over creator coin push
Builders on Base are pushing back against the network’s close alignment with Zora, arguing the creator-coin narrative sidelines established projects.
What to know:
- Base has seen a surge in creator-coin issuance via Zora, with daily token mints surpassing Solana in August, boosting onchain activity and attention.
- Some Base-native projects say marketing and social support has become narrowly focused on Zora-linked initiatives, leaving other established communities without recognition.
- While Base continues to process more than 10 million transactions per day, critics warn that deteriorating builder sentiment could push projects toward rival chains like Solana or Sui.
