Crypto custodian BitGo a potential acquisition target for Wall Street firms, analysts say
Compass Point and Canaccord call BitGo a potential acquisition target and defend the stock despite its weak debut, citing growth in institutional crypto infrastructure.
What to know:
- Wall Street analysts say BitGo’s expansion into full-service institutional crypto finance could drive long-term growth and make it an attractive acquisition target for traditional financial firms.
- Analysts argue that investors are overlooking BitGo’s potential to cross-sell prime brokerage-style services, which could significantly boost revenue if it can narrow the gap with rivals like Galaxy and Coinbase.
- Despite BitGo’s stock falling more than 40% since its January IPO, some analysts view the selloff as an overreaction and maintain buy ratings, citing the company’s solid competitive moat and strategic value to big banks entering crypto.
