Crypto: Soaring higher

10x Research

Bitcoin's explosive +160% rally since January 2024 has exposed the fragile economics of Bitcoin miners, with most struggling to keep pace. 10x Research reveals that only a few miners, such as Core Scientific, which achieved +187% gains, have outperformed Bitcoin, while others face rising costs and declining profitability. In contrast, Coinbase offers a more compelling opportunity, with a clear correlation between its stock price and Bitcoin, making it a better play in the current market; their regression with Bitcoin analysis reveals a potential upside of +45%. The team also recommend a spread trade: long Bitdeer vs short Marathon Digital. As Wall Street eyes crypto IPOs worth $100 billion, the stakes have never been higher for the crypto industry.
