Coinbase Stock And Cboe Shares Worth Watching As Rate Bets Shift

Inflation is cooling in fewer corners of the economy, Fed hike odds for October are slipping, and interest rate expectations are now pulling on valuations in complicated ways. That mix has turned the spotlight on large U.S. capital markets and brokerage platforms, where trading activity and cash yields can shift quickly as rate expectations move. This article walks through three stocks from our screener that appear closely exposed to these cross currents.

The three stocks below are only a starter set from this theme, and the full screen surfaced 27 more U.S. capital markets and brokerage platforms with equally detailed stories around trading exposure, funding mix, and balance sheet quality that are not covered here. To go straight to the full list and identify your own highest conviction angles, analyze the U.S. Large-Cap Capital Markets and Brokerage Platforms screener.

Coinbase Global (COIN)

Coinbase Global gives this screener crypto flavor by offering a large brokerage-style venue where both retail traders and institutions deal in digital assets that react quickly to shifts in rate expectations and risk appetite across capital markets.

Coinbase Global, Inc. runs a crypto trading and custody platform that looks a lot like a brokerage business, with about US$6.0b from data processing and related activity, while the stock’s roughly US$45.7b market cap puts it firmly in large cap territory.

Increasing global adoption of stablecoins and blockchain-based payment rails (including through new regulations like the GENIUS Act) creates a powerful network effect for Coinbase's vertically integrated payment stack (USDC, Base, APIs), with potential implications for both transaction-based revenue and recurring subscription/service revenue.

The real swing factor is how one still-emerging part of Coinbase Global’s platform might reshape earnings power under certain conditions.

If that shift really matters for you, read the full narrative for Coinbase Global to see how those earnings drivers could accelerate or stall under different rate and crypto cycles.

SEI Investments (SEIC)

SEI Investments plugs into this capital-markets theme through its platform-based wealth and asset services, earning fee income tied to client portfolios and cash management for private banks, advisors, asset managers and institutions, with around US$2.5b of segment revenue and a roughly US$12.5b market cap.

SEI Investments matters here because it turns the plumbing of modern wealth management into a fee engine that responds to where client cash and securities sit, and how quickly institutions want to rewire their operations.

SEI Investments is seeing strong demand from large asset managers to outsource complex fund administration and back-office work, particularly in alternatives, with recent wins that shift historically internal operations onto SEI platforms, which can add fee-based revenue and support earnings as these mandates ramp.

What really moves the needle for SEI Investments is how one less visible shift in product mix plays out for fee levels and overall profitability.

That quieter shift is where SEI Investments gets interesting. Read the full narrative for SEI Investments to see how outsourcing momentum, pricing power and product mix could be decoupling.

Cboe Global Markets (CBOE)

Cboe Global Markets sits squarely in this capital markets screener as one of the main places where investors trade options, futures, equities and FX, so its earnings are tightly linked to how active markets are and how traders put cash to work.

Cboe Global Markets runs a global exchange network that earns most of its revenue from options at about US$2.7b and North American equities at roughly US$1.7b, with smaller contributions from Europe and Asia Pacific, futures and FX. The stock’s market cap is about US$32.9b.

Cboe's Data Vantage (market data, analytics, and index licensing) is demonstrating consistent double-digit revenue growth, supported by high-margin, recurring subscription sales, which enhances the predictability and profitability of earnings.

What really changes the story is how one concentrated franchise and its add-on contracts reshape the balance between stability and future pricing power.

That concentration risk cuts both ways, and the full narrative for Cboe Global Markets maps how Cboe Global Markets’ options engine, data franchise and volatility cycles could be accelerating, or quietly masking, future potential.
