摩根大通：加密銀行Silvergate Capital股價有60%上漲空間:11月12日消息，摩根大通分析師Steven Alexopoulos稱加密銀行Silvergate Capital正成為一只基本面穩固，且在動蕩的加密市場內具有巨大增長潛力的股票。Alexopoulos將Silvergate目標價定為300美元，較周三收盤價有59%的上漲空間。他稱該銀行擁有最多數量的加密客戶 ，這得益于其實時支付網絡Silvergate Exchange Network，可幫助加密交易所和機構投資者執行全天候交易。SEN擁有逾1,300個數字貨幣客戶，他們的存款金額自2017年以來增長近7倍，達到逾110億美元。Alexopoulos寫道：Silvergate作為一家純粹為加密生態系統服務的銀行，不僅具備巨大的增長潛力，而且擁有業內最優秀的資產負債表之一。（CNBC）[2021/11/12 6:48:03]
