Analyst ratings on Bullish and ARK Invest activity in crypto equities

Coverage began last week with several initiations. Jefferies rated Bullish at Hold. JPMorgan started at Neutral, and Bernstein also set a neutral stance. Cantor Fitzgerald issued Overweight.

Targets cluster near the high $40s to low $60s. That range sits around recent trading levels. The calls arrived as the market tracks the first report as a public company.
