- A Different Perspective Bed Bath & Beyond (NYSE:BBBY) shareholders have endured a 87% loss from investing in the stock five years ago. It is a pleasure to report that Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BBBY) is up 51% in the last quarter. But will that repair the damage for the weary investors who have owned this stock as it declined over half a decade? Probably not. Like a ship taking on water, the share price has sunk 87% in that time. It's true that the recent bounce could signal the company is turning over a new leaf, but we are not so sure. The real question is whether the business can leave its past behind and improve itself over the years ahead. We really feel for shareholders in this scenario. It's a good reminder of the...

- Strategy Stock Has Outperformed Bitcoin Since January 2024. Should Investors Be Worried About Its Recent 20% Pullback? Key Points Since January 2024, it's hard to find a better-performing stock than Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR). It's up a mind-blowing 450%. Using a strategy to accumulate as much Bitcoin as it can, it has far surpassed the performance of Bitcoin, which has risen only 167%. During the summer, Strategy (the company formerly known as MicroStrategy) soared to 450. But since mid-July, storm clouds have appeared. Strategy now trades around $350. Should investors be worried? The Bitcoin treasury company narrative is getting stale One reason for concern is the change in sentiment in the crypto market. Bitcoin treasury...

- Crypto markets saw another sharp retreat as liquidations totaled nearly $1.7 billion in the past day, with Dogecoin, Solana, and Ethereum leading losses among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. The price of Bitcoin dropped by 2.3% on the day, posting smaller losses than those of Ethereum and other major altcoins as immediate price pressure piled on alternative assets.

The broader market also declined, with CoinGecko data showing total crypto market capitalization at about $3.98 trillion after a 3.7% daily drop.

- Exclusive-China Ask Brokers to Pause Real-World Asset Business in Hong Kong, Sources Say China's securities watchdog has advised some local brokerages to pause their real-world asset (RWA) tokenization business in Hong Kong, according to two sources. This move signals Beijing's concerns over the rapid growth of the digital assets market offshore. The RWA tokenization process involves converting traditional assets like stocks, bonds, funds, and real estate into digital tokens traded on a blockchain. In recent months, numerous Chinese firms, including brokerages, have launched RWAs in Hong Kong. At least two leading brokerages have received informal guidance from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to refrain from...

- Coinbase Considers Releasing a New Network Token. Could This Move Buoy the Stock? Key Points Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong surprised investors on Sept. 15 with news that the company is exploring its own Base network token. Base is a Coinbase ecosystem where people can build decentralized applications that integrate with its products. As a Layer-2 network, developers benefit from Ethereum's security alongside Base's lower fees and faster processing. With more than $5 billion in total value on the chain, it's one of the biggest Layer-2 solutions. Armstrong stressed there are no definitive plans, but until now the idea of issuing a token was not even on the table. Perhaps ongoing regulatory changes could now...

- Key Points Being a long-term, buy-and-hold investor in crypto is harder than you might think. The crypto market is populated by short-term momentum plays, speculative meme coins, and a bunch of trendy tokens that soar in value before eventually crashing back to earth. However, there are two cryptocurrencies that have shown their staying power during the past decade. During that time, they rank among the very best investments you could have ever made. And they both have impressive long-term growth prospects. Yes, I'm talking about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). Bitcoin According to a 2024 research report from WisdomTree, Bitcoin was the top-performing asset in the world in nine of the past 12 years. And that...

- Cryptocurrencies Sink as $1.5 Billion in Bullish Bets Wiped Out Cryptocurrency traders saw more than $1.5 billion in bullish wagers liquidated on Monday, triggering a sharp selloff that sent Ether and other tokens plunging. Ether fell as much as 9% to $4,075 as nearly half a billion dollars of leveraged long positions in the second-largest token were liquidated, according to data. Bitcoin declined 3% to $111,998 at one point. Coins like Solana, Algorand, and Avalanche also dropped. It was the biggest wave of liquidations across cryptocurrencies since at least March 27, data show. Demand from publicly-listed vehicles set up to hoard tokens helped drive Bitcoin and Ether to all-time highs in August. That momentum has started to...

- Key Points Who wouldn't want to make passive income each month with very little risk or work involved? Dividend investing offers this opportunity, but like most things in life, it's not as easy as it appears. Investors still need to make sure that the companies paying the dividends are well-run, have a good dividend track record, and are generating enough free cash flow and earnings to not only pay their dividends each year, but also raise them, which will help keep pace with inflation. Want to earn a cool 5.4% annual dividend and get paid monthly? There aren't too many stocks that offer a higher dividend yield, and that also have paid and raised the dividend for more than three consecutive decades. The Monthly Dividend Company...

Could Bitcoin Deliver 10x Returns? Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) proves that nothing is protected from disruption. Technology has created a completely new store of value that went from being worthless to a $2.3 trillion market cap in nearly 17 years. Investors who have weathered the ups and downs have been rewarded. Even after such a monumental rise in the past, with Bitcoin rising 967% in the last five years (as of Sept. 17), there could still be huge upside as we look ahead. But can the world's top cryptocurrency deliver a 10x return? Bitcoin's clear path There is no straightforward way to conduct a proper valuation exercise for Bitcoin, as it isn't like a regular company. But that doesn't mean investors can't look for comparisons to...

- Key Points After it went up 45% this year, Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) investors are a happy lot. But there's reason for even more optimism. Due to shifts in the regulatory environment, Ripple may finally have a viable path toward achieving its long-term growth vision. There's one catalyst in particular worth monitoring. Ripple may finally gain mainstream industry adoption In theory, Ripple has had huge growth potential since its founding in terms of actual adoption of its network. Compared to legacy systems like SWIFT, Ripple allows financial institutions to transfer money between each other and even across borders in a cheaper, faster, more transparent way. What's not to love? Today, few major financial institutions in developed...

- Could Buying Bitcoin Today Set You Up for Life? Broadly speaking, more and more investors view cryptocurrencies as an increasingly mainstream asset. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) helped blaze that path. The original cryptocurrency is still the world's largest by market value today, and has returned more than 50,000% during the past decade alone. It doesn't take a mathematician to know that those are life-changing returns. Now, it's a fair question whether Bitcoin can still set investors up for life. While it may take much longer this time around for Bitcoin to repeat its past returns (if it ever does), there may still be enough upside left to make it worth holding in a diversified portfolio. Here is why Bitcoin can still help investors...

- Michael Saylor Says This Is The Reason Why Bitcoin Is Stuck Sideways And Not Breaking Out Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) CEO Michael Saylor shared in an interview aired Friday his views on why Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has been chopping sideways. People Are Bitcoin Rich But Fiat Poor, Says Saylor During a podcast with Bitcoin influencer Natalie Brunell, Saylor said that $2.3 trillion worth of Bitcoin, its market capitalization, is unbanked, meaning owners cannot borrow against it. “And because they can’t get a loan against it, at the point that you all of a sudden find yourself Bitcoin rich, but fiat poor. You don’t have a lot of dollars,” Saylor emphasized. “Then you think I have to go and sell it.” He compared the situation to a...

- BNB continues to outperform the broader crypto market, with analysts suggesting that regulatory and fundamental developments, coupled with institutional demand, are driving the token forward. The asset, which can be used to offset fees on the Binance exchange, surged more than 10% over the weekend to a new all-time high of $1,079. It's now more than double that of Bitcoin and Solana’s 22% year-to-date gains. “Renewed institutional demand” and “improved sentiment around Binance’s regulatory outlook” are two significant reasons contributing to the rise, MEXC’s chief analyst Shawn Young shared. Binance has continued to forge ahead with new partnerships, including with investment firm Franklin Templeton, which has helped lift the...
