Coinbase News: Regulatory Clarity Identified as Top Catalyst for Crypto Industry Growth in Survey by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon

A recent survey conducted by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon has shed light on the factors driving growth in the digital asset industry. Here’s a closer look at the key findings.

Crypto Regulatory Clarity Top Catalyst For Industry Growth: Coinbase & EYP Survey

A survey by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon revealed that regulatory clarity is the top catalyst for growth in the digital asset industry. The survey included 352 institutional investors who showed significant interest in digital assets, with 86% having exposure or planning allocations in 2025. Notably, 84% increased their allocations to crypto and crypto-related products in 2024, and 59% plan to allocate more than 5% of their assets under management (AUM) to cryptocurrencies in 2025. An improving regulatory backdrop under Donald Trump’s new administration is seen as a positive development for the industry.

Coinbase Gets ’Buy’ Rating From Bernstein as Trump’s Crypto Policies Take Shape

Analysts at investment firm Bernstein started coverage of Coinbase, rating the crypto exchange outperform and writing that it could soar nearly 70% largely because of a more crypto-friendly environment after the election of U.S. President Donald Trump. Bernstein placed a price target of $310 on the stock, which was recently trading at about $182 per share. The analysts expect strong regulatory tailwinds to drive the crypto industry to the American financial mainstream, with the Trump Administration’s aspiration to make America the ’crypto capital of the world’. Coinbase remains the dominant platform (66% U.S. market share) to ride these tailwinds.
