Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) is highlighted as one of the best NASDAQ stocks to buy in 2026. Needham analyst John Todaro recently lowered the price target to $290 from $400 while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. On December 22, Coinbase acquired The Clearing Company to expand into prediction markets and equities trading.

The Clearing Company, pending CFTC approval, uses digital ledger tech to clear trades with stablecoins for near-instant settlement. This infrastructure is crucial for prediction markets’ high-frequency trading. Coinbase’s platform offers various financial services for consumers, institutions, and developers to engage with crypto assets.
