3 Top Cryptocurrency Stocks to Watch List
Below is a list of the best cryptocurrency stocks to watch this year. We analyse them in more detail further below and look at the prospects and risks of each stock. Of course, we can never know what will be the ‘best’ until the future but we can analyse the fundamentals of a company to provide an edge on whether it is likely to grow in the long term or not.
Now let’s have a look at each one of these in more detail and learn how you can invest in them with low fees.
Cryptocurrency Stocks Research & Analysis
In the companies listed above detailing the best crypto stocks to watch this year, each company is involved in crypto in a different way. Some help to facilitate the adoption of cryptos in real-world use, others help to facilitate the buying and selling of individual cryptocurrencies and there are those who merely capitalise on the blockchain technology that cryptos are built upon.
Coinbase (COIN.US)
Coinbase only launched in April 2021 but is now considered to be one of the world’s most recognised cryptocurrency exchanges. It aims to help users buy, sell and store cryptocurrencies and has plans to become the world’s number marketplace for NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
The company makes most of their revenue from the fees received when its users make a transaction on a cryptocurrency. Therefore, Coinbase’s growth is highly dependent on the growth of the cryptocurrency sector.
However, Coinbase has grown exponentially and now also offers private client services to family offices and ultra-high net worth individuals, as well as solutions for e-commerce companies and businesses.
Square (SQ)
Square (which changed its name to Block Inc at the end of last year), was co-founded by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. The company has pushed aggressively into a variety of different businesses which include crypto, music streaming, payment services and stock and crypto trading.
The business is heavily reliant on its crypto revenue. In the latest earnings report released at the end of 2021, third-quarter sales came in lower than analyst expectations due to a drop in Bitcoin-related revenue.
The total revenue from sales of Bitcoin amount to $1.82 billion – 47% of the company’s total sales. However, these sales only generate 3.7% of Square’s gross profit for the quarter. Nonetheless, it’s clear to see the potential growth the company has in the cryptocurrency sector.
Square is now looking to build more products and services related to the buying and selling of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The company bought $170 million worth of Bitcoin in February 2021.
PayPal (PYPL)
Since the end of 2020, PayPal has made a big push into the cryptocurrency space. With PayPal, you can now buy, sell and store cryptocurrencies including major coins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC).
Last year, PayPal also launched a peer to peer crypto payment app called Venmo. For the future, the development team are already building new shopping features to pay with crypto and a savings account.
With more than half of its users opening the app every day, cross-selling other products could be an instant revenue generator for the company. PayPal has also explored the launch of its very own stable coin called PayPal Coin, although this is in the very early stages.
