- Key Points Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), initially launched as a meme-based parody of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in 2013, has experienced significant volatility. Its early trading price was $0.0002, it peaked at $0.74 in May 2021, and now trades at about $0.28. Over the past year, Dogecoin's price has risen over 170%, compared to Bitcoin's less than 100% increase. Despite these substantial gains, investors might want to consider purchasing Dogecoin before 2026 for several reasons. 1. The Fed's first interest rate cut of 2025 On September 17, the Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, which marked its first cut of 2025.

- Cryptocurrency markets are consolidating on Tuesday morning while showing notable weakness against other commodities like gold. Notable Statistics: Trader Notes: Ted Pillows said BTC remains rangebound, with $115,000 as the key resistance to reclaim. Losing $108,000 could open the door to a deeper correction toward $100,000. Michael van de Poppe added that a bounce here could push BTC back to $115,000, but failure risks a drop into the $106,000–$108,000 "max buy zone." For Ethereum, van de Poppe expects more sideways movement, possibly dipping toward $3,550–$3,750. With ETH nearly 20% off its highs and compression building near the 20-week MA, he sees this as a reasonable accumulation zone. Scient highlighted SOL breaking out...

- Could This 1 Rising Star Cryptocurrency Be a Threat to Solana? Key Points Sometimes all it takes to make a blockchain a winner is one killer app and a bold narrative. The latest contender with this kind of narrative is Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE), a high-throughput Layer-1 (L1) chain whose headline application is an on-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) that feels effortless, fast, and cheap, while also offering access to leverage and derivatives. That's part of the reason some investors have called Hyperliquid a Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) killer. But how real is this threat, and should Solana investors be worried? This chain certainly has an edge in its niche Let's start by taking a closer look at what this chain actually is and what...

- Altcoins MNT, AVAX, ASTER Defy Market Downturn—Here’s Why The crypto market has experienced a notable downturn over the past week and is trading flat on the day. However, a handful of altcoins are defying this move, with some even posting double-digit gains on the day. The biggest winner of the day is Ethereum layer-2 network Mantle, which climbed 12.1% on the day to a $5.9 billion market cap as the 37th largest cryptocurrency. The double-digit jump follows Mantle’s partnership with centralized exchange Bybit, which offers higher leverage rates and better loan terms for institutional investors. Another notable altcoin winner is Avalanche, which jumped 10.7% on the day and 12% over the past week to a $14.5 billion market cap...

- Roche (SWX:ROG): Assessing Valuation After Recent Quiet Uptrend in Share Price If you have been watching Roche Holding (SWX:ROG), you might be wondering what to make of its recent run. The stock’s movement lately has caught the eye of many investors, not because of a headline-grabbing announcement or major setback, but simply because shares have been quietly trending upward. Sometimes, it is these quieter stretches, without a dramatic trigger, that invite the most careful analysis. Roche Holding’s share price is up about 4% over the year, with steady growth accumulating over recent months. While the past three years were breakeven at best, this year’s gains contrast with a longer pattern of subdued performance. With this...

- Is ServiceNow’s Latest AI-Driven Expansion Enough to Justify Its Current Share Price? If you are on the fence about what to do with your ServiceNow shares, you are not alone. This is one of those tech stocks that seems constantly in motion, keeping investors guessing as markets shift and the appetite for growth companies evolves. Over the past month, ServiceNow has gained 6.9%, bouncing back from declines earlier this year.

- VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX): Valuation Insights Following Index Methodology Shift to Free-Float Approach If you’re watching VanEck ETF Trust, VanEck Gold Miners ETF (ARCA:GDX), there’s a big change you need to know about. VanEck just switched GDX's underlying index from the NYSE ARCA Gold Miners Index to the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index. Instead of tracking every share on the books, the ETF will now use a free-float market-cap-weighted approach, meaning it only counts shares that are actually available for public trading. This could affect the way GDX reflects the real gold mining market, with potential ripple effects for liquidity and price swings over time. This index transition lands at an interesting moment. GDX is up...

- Better Crypto Buy: Bitcoin vs. Strategy (MicroStrategy) Key Points It's hard to argue with the long-term performance of Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR). Since this high-profile Bitcoin treasury company started accumulating Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in August 2020, its stock is up more than 2,300%. The more Bitcoin that Strategy buys, the higher its price goes. That is, until recently. Since July 1, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is down nearly 20%. And the Bitcoin treasury company model that it helped to pioneer is now facing tough criticism from skeptics. That's leading to a difficult decision for crypto investors: Should they buy Bitcoin, or should they double down and buy more Strategy? Performance: Strategy vs. Bitcoin That question...

- Could Solana Reach $3,211 by 2030? Key Points Price targets are like weather forecasts in the sense that you probably shouldn't plan a beach wedding around them, but it's wise to bring an umbrella if they all point to rain. The same goes for cryptocurrencies. Targets are not destiny, but it's worth knowing them because they tell you what the professionals are anticipating and where capital might flow if the picture keeps improving. On that note, the asset manager VanEck's valuation framework developed in late 2023 lays out a bullish scenario in which Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) reaches $3,211 by 2030. Is this a realistic assessment? Let's dig in and check it out. What would need to go right to reach the target Let's start by anchoring...

- Key Points After lagging other top cryptocurrencies for most of the year, Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) has bounced back. It's up 35% over the last month (as of Sept. 19), while market leaders like Bitcoin and XRP have been nearly flat. Solana is an important part of the crypto market, and not just because it's one of the 10 largest coins. It also has an innovative way of validating transactions that could make it a long-term winner. Solana's unique proof-of-history consensus mechanism Like Ethereum and many other blockchains, Solana uses a system called proof of stake to validate transactions. Anyone can become a validator by staking (depositing) their crypto tokens. This is an energy-efficient validation method, because it chooses...

- China Presses Brokers to Halt Real-World Asset Tokenization in Hong Kong: Report China’s securities regulator has reportedly instructed some brokerages to pause their real-world asset tokenization business in Hong Kong, aligning with Beijing’s cautious stance as Hong Kong pushes forward with digital-asset initiatives. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has given informal guidance to at least two leading brokerages, asking them to refrain from offshore RWA activities, according to an initial report from Reuters on Monday that cited two individuals familiar with the matter. Several Chinese firms, including brokerage subsidiaries, have launched or announced tokenized products in the city, per the report. What is RWA...

- Here's What History Says to Expect For Ethereum in Q4 Key Points When enough investors see the same price action at the same time of year, their habits can echo through prices. Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) happens to have one of those habitual echoes late in the calendar year. Let's take a look at what investors should be expecting from this coin in the fourth quarter. What the record actually says Traditionally, Q4 is the best-performing quarter for Ethereum, with the median return being around 22% and the average near 24%. That tells us two things. First, late-year momentum has often been kind to holders, and second, the dispersion of results is wide enough that the median trails the average, which implies some very big upside...

The Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2023 specified that operators of digital asset kiosks and ATMs must maintain accurate addresses with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. The bill...
