Facebook Coin Could Bring $19 Billion Additional Revenue, Believes Barclays
Facebook is reportedly developing a cryptocurrency that could be part of a multibillion-dollar revenue opportunity, Barclays internet analyst Ross Sandler said in a note to clients Monday.
Sandler forecasted as much as $19 billion in additional revenue by 2021 from “Facebook Coin.” Conservatively, the firm sees a base-case of an incremental $3 billion in revenue from a successful cryptocurrency implementation.
He said: “Merely establishing this revenue stream starts to change the story for Facebook shares in our view.”
