3 Crypto Stocks With 100% - 140% Upside Potential, According to Wall Street

NASDAQ: MARA | Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. News, Ratings, and Charts

MARA – Since the beginning of the year, crypto-related stocks have been negatively impacted by volatility in cryptocurrencies due to expected interest rate increases. However, the market seems to have stabilized. Also, with President Biden signing an executive order to study the risks and scope of cryptocurrencies, it could be wise now to add crypto stocks Marathon Digital (MARA), Riot Blockchain (RIOT), and Hut 8 Mining (HUT) to one’s watchlist. Wall Street analysts expect these stocks to rally 100% – 140% in price in the coming months. Read on.

Negative investor sentiment due to the multi-decade high inflation, Russia’s attack on Ukraine, soaring crude oil prices, and the possibility of aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve dragged the market indexes down into correction territory earlier this year. Cryptocurrencies did not fare any better, witnessing wild price swings.

However, the markets have staged a recovery from their lows over the past few weeks after factoring in all the adverse developments that drove the volatility. And the recent signing of an executive order by President Biden to address the risks and harness the benefits of cryptocurrencies, on the back of their growing popularity and acceptability, bodes well for crypto-related stocks. According to a Research and Markets report, the global cryptocurrency market is expected to grow at a 58.4% CAGR, reaching $32.42 trillion by 2027.

Because the signing of the executive order and the strengthening of investor sentiment bode well for the crypto market, we think it could be worth adding crypto-related stocks Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (MARA - Get Rating), Riot Blockchain, Inc. (RIOT - Get Rating), and Hut 8 Mining Corp. (HUT - Get Rating) to one’s watchlist. Wall Street analysts expect these stocks to rally 100% – 140% in the near term.
