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
Monness Crespi upgraded Coinbase to Buy from Neutral with a $375 price target while keeping estimates unchanged for calendar year 2025 and "slightly pushing up" calendar 2026 estimates. The firm likes the setup in terms of news flow around stablecoin utility in the real world with a "hunch" there is more to come from the December 17 event and the tokenization of equities with an expectation of SEC comments in the near future. The firm adds that the recent lows in key crypto assets "pique our interest."

Reason
Cantor Fitzgerald lowered the firm's price target on Coinbase to $459 from $500 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Coinbase exceeded the firm's trading volume, revenue, and adjusted EBITDA estimates in what was a strong quarter, and Q4 is off to a strong start, with the company saying October transaction revenue is run-rating 10% higher than the 3Q25 average, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes Coinbase will be much more than just the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, which makes risk/reward feel attractive.
