Clarity Act Failure Could Bring Opportunity With This ETF
Cryptocurrency prices and related equities, including Coinbase Global (COIN), fell after the Clarity Act failed to advance. The Direxion Daily COIN Bull 2X ETF (CONX) also declined. Morningstar raised its fair value estimate for Coinbase to $168. Analysts note Coinbase's performance is tied to crypto market activity, and a potential bitcoin bottom could benefit COIN and CONX.
