1237 ET - A Coinbase Institutional survey says that 75% of institutional investors see bitcoin as undervalued as of March of this year. That's up from 71% in December, according to the firm. As the second quarter of the year progresses, the sentiment around bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general appears to be warming up -- although the volatile situation in the Middle East could derail that sentiment at any time. "We are cautiously optimistic that the macro situation has shifted in a positive direction, which could help many crypto assets form a bottom in the near term and recover later in the quarter," says David Duong of Coinbase Institutional in a note. The firm maintains a "neutral" view for 2Q26, with the fate of the conflict in the Middle East being the main driver. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
