Nakamoto (NAKA), Sharplink Gaming (SBET), and Stive (ASST) viewed positively at Cowen
The post Nakamoto (NAKA), Sharplink Gaming (SBET), and Stive (ASST) viewed positively at Cowen appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
After declines of 90% or more in digital asset treasury companies Nakamoto (NAKA), Sharplink Gaming (SBET) and Strive (ASST), TD Cowen’s Lance Vitanza is spotting value.

SBET closed Thursday at $6.42. He described SharpLink, which is led by ex-BlackRock head of digital assets, Joseph Chalom and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, as an Ethereum treasury company that aims to grow ether per share through treasury operations and staking. Vitanza said the company may deliver better staking yield than spot ether ETPs because fund investors absorb fees, and many products cannot stake a large share of holdings.
