Decentralized AI Ownership: David Minarsch, founder of Olas, aims to empower users to build, own, and profit from their own AI agents through the Pearl application, promoting a shift from centralized platforms to decentralized ownership in the digital space.
Accessibility and User Experience: Pearl simplifies the user experience by allowing individuals to fund their agents using debit/credit cards and natural language instructions, removing the complexities often associated with cryptocurrency.
Innovative Projects and Support: The Olas Accelerator program supports emerging creators with grants to develop diverse AI agent applications, such as Cupid Agent for matchmaking and PettAI for managing digital pets, showcasing the platform's potential for broad creative applications.
Focus on Ownership and Transparency: Minarsch emphasizes the importance of ownership in the digital realm, advocating for a decentralized infrastructure that allows users full control over their AI agents, contrasting with traditional models that often limit user autonomy.

Reason
Argus analyst Kevin Heal downgraded Coinbase to Hold from Buy with no price target. The company is the leading cryptocurrency trading platform and USDC - the number 2 dollar-backed stablecoin in the world - saw continued momentum, but the stock is trading at 39-times expected forward earnings, which is well above the 24- to 27-times multiples of the other exchanges, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Goldman Sachs lowered the firm's price target on Coinbase to $314 from $368 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Brokers and crypto stocks have dropped about 15% since mid-October despite higher forward estimates, as valuation multiples compressed sharply amid volatile equity and crypto markets, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While near-term pressure is likely to persist until markets stabilize, the group's long-term outlook remains supported by strong product innovation, large addressable markets, regulatory momentum, and continued inorganic growth, Goldman says.

Reason
Erste Group downgraded Coinbase to Hold from Buy. While Coinbase is benefiting from the increasing spread of cryptocurrencies, the increasing supply of low-cost bitcoin ETFs is jeopardizing "lucrative" private customer revenues that are an important source of income and replacing this business with ETF providers will "significantly" reduce profitability, the analyst tells investors.
