<h3>Stock Picks</h3>
<p><strong>Coinbase (COIN US) – Growing by leaps and bounds; Initiate with Buy, TP: US$302.62<br></strong>We initiate coverage of Coinbase Global (Coinbase) with a Buy rating and 12-month SOTP-derived target price of US$302.62. As one of the largest digital asset trading platforms with a broad suite of value-added services, we believe Coinbase will benefit from the expanding TAM of the cryptoeconomy, which will drive revenue and user growth. We see current valuations (17.2x 2022E P/E) as attractive relative to its robust growth profile and leading position in the digital asset industry.</p>
<p><strong>BC Tech Group (863 HK) – Pushing the envelope in institutional digital asset; Initiate with Buy; TP: HK$18.53<br></strong>We believe BCG’s shares offer investors exposure to the structural theme of rising institutional demand for digital assets trading and investment solutions. As one of the few publicly listed and licensed players in the digital asset exchange industry, we expect BCG to benefit from strong revenue growth and earnings breakeven in 2022E. We view current valuations (7.6x 2022E P/S) as attractive relative to its regional and global peers, given its robust revenue growth.</p>
<h3>Where we differ</h3>
<p>Sell-side research has been focused narrowly on margin compression and intensifying competition from other exchanges.  Our view is that focusing any discussion of licensed and regulatory compliant digital asset exchanges on commission and margin pressure is overly limiting. Instead, we urge equity investors to take a broader view. In other words, investing in pick and shovel plays will give investors exposure to the future potential of the digital asset phenomenon.</p>
