BTCCSquare news:

Morgan Stanley's bullish upgrade of Rocket Lab (RKLB) to Overweight with a $105 target mirrors the risk-on appetite seen in crypto's altcoin rallies. The 291% YTD surge and 85x sales multiple recall speculative crypto valuations, where projects like SOL and DOT trade at premium multiples for future network potential.

Rocket Lab's $816M defense contract win parallels crypto's institutional adoption milestones - think BlackRock's bitcoin ETF or PayPal's stablecoin. The Neutron rocket's 2026 debut evokes crypto's product roadmap hype cycles, where Layer 2 solutions like ARB and METIS command valuations ahead of full deployment.

Just as crypto traders rotate from blue chips (BTC, ETH) to high-beta plays (WIF, PEPE), public markets are rewarding Rocket Lab's execution despite $59M quarterly losses - reminiscent of crypto projects burning cash for user acquisition.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
