Bernstein initiated coverage of trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) with an outperform rating and a price target of $30, citing a "monster" crypto cycle as the reason for the bullish call, the broker said in a research report Thursday.

“We expect total crypto market cap to reach $7.5T by 2025 versus $2.6T today,” and this means Robinhood crypto revenue should grow ninefold, the report said. The company said Wednesday that crypto trading volume on its platform rose 10% in February from January.

“We believe the crypto market is amidst unprecedented institutional adoption,” analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra wrote. Spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets under management may surge to as high as $300 billion by 2025. It expects an ether ETF to become available within 12 months.

The broker views Robinhood as a two year cyclical trade, “riding the crypto-led earnings inflection over 2024-25.”

Robinhood shares rose over 10% in after-hours trading.
