Enthusiasm for cryptocurrency has gone "through the roof" since the re-election of President Donald Trump, analysts said Monday, which should lift shares of Coinbase Global (COIN).

Oppenheimer analysts earlier today set a price target on the crypto exchange's shares of $358, more than 17% above Friday's close. That's one of the higher targets on Wall Street, according to Visible Alpha data, well ahead of the average of $273.
