- What Is Trump Media Group CRO Strategy? And Should Investors Get on Board? Key Points One of the hottest cryptocurrencies on the planet right now is Cronos (CRYPTO: CRO), the native token of the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. Seemingly out of nowhere, CRO is up almost 90% during the past 30 days, and now ranks among the 20 most valuable cryptocurrencies, with a market cap of $9 billion. The rapid ascent of the Cronos token is a direct result of the Trump administration's pro-crypto policies -- but not in the way you might expect. Let's take a closer look at what's going on with Cronos, and what it means for you as an investor. The transformation of Trump Media into a crypto company? When the Trump administration came into...

- Key Points On Aug. 27, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) announced the launch of a new blockchain platform called the Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL). This project is designed for financial institutions to use in areas like capital markets and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, marking Alphabet's most significant entry into the blockchain sector, aiming to compete with established players. GCUL directly targets the same institutional finance niche where XRP and its issuer, Ripple, have built value over the years. This ledger could be a giant Currently, Google's ledger is in private testing, targeting financial institutions rather than a consumer crypto network, similar to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Wider trials are...

- Key Points Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is the world's largest cryptocurrency. In fact, its market capitalization of $2.2 trillion accounts for more than half of the total value of all coins and tokens in circulation, which stands at $3.8 trillion as I write this. It will cost you around $110,000 to buy a single Bitcoin right now, but in an interview earlier this year, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) co-founder Michael Saylor said the price for one coin could soar to $13 million by 2045. Then, at a conference in June, Saylor revised his price target to $21 million. If his latest prediction proves to be accurate, investors who buy Bitcoin today could earn a staggering 18,800% return over the next 20 years or so. But is that realistic...

- Key Points August is over, and September is here. But many investors are fearful because of the so-called "September Effect." It turns out that September is historically the worst month for the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), with stocks often going down more often than they go up. However, investors in The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD), Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI), Gartner (NYSE: IT), Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), and Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) may welcome September anyway. These five stocks were the worst performers in the S&P 500 during August, dropping between 19% and 37% during the month. As the chart shows, all of these stocks dropped sharply early in August. But the drops happened on different days, suggesting that each stock was...

- Why Nio Investors Should Be Optimistic After Q2 Earnings Key Points Investors who follow the Chinese automotive industry focused on Nio's (NYSE: NIO) second-quarter results released Tuesday, initially sending the stock lower. It wasn't a bad quarter, but the intense price war in China isn't letting up and may not anytime soon. Let's check out some of Nio's second-quarter highlights and where it's going from here. What have you done for me lately? Nio reported an adjusted operating loss of $564 million on sales of $2.7 billion. Wall Street estimates anticipated a loss of $620 million on sales of just over $2.7 billion, per FactSet. It was an improvement over the prior year's second quarter when Nio posted a loss of $673 million...

- Cardano’s Bearish Retail Crowd Hands Whales a Buying Opportunity Cardano’s retail base has flipped bearish after weeks of drawdowns, setting up conditions where whales could step in. Data from Santiment shows ADA’s bullish-to-bearish commentary ratio slumped to 1.5:1 this week — the lowest in five months. The sentiment dip coincided with a 5% rebound, suggesting traders who sold into frustration may have helped mark a local bottom. Historically, ADA rallies have tended to begin when retail sentiment is weakest. Santiment flagged a similar setup in mid-August, when a 2:1 ratio aligned with a surge. Conversely, euphoric spikes — like the 12.8:1 ratio earlier this summer — have preceded sharp pullbacks. Sentiment extremes matter...

- The crypto community was left disappointed as MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) couldn't join the S&P 500 index after the rebalance on Sep. 5. However, Robinhood Markets (Nasdaq: HOOD), the electronic trading exchange offering stocks and crypto assets, joined the club. The S&P 500 Index is a list of 500 of the largest public companies in the U.S., and only two crypto companies had made it to the index so far. MicroStrategy snubbed Led by co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor, the enterprise software-turned-digital asset treasury firm holds 636,505 BTC worth approximately $70 billion at the time of writing. Though the popular Bitcoin investor Lark Davis had predicted earlier this week that the firm could join the list, the...

- A well-known crypto market analyst has set a long-term bullish price target for XRP and Ethereum. According to market analyst EGRAG Crypto, XRP can go as high as $31 and Ethereum could reach $8,000. He used Fibonacci extension levels to come to this prediction. The outlook draws on similarities in both assets' multi-year price cycles. Ethereum to hit $8,000 EGRAG points out that Ethereum's chart has seen the same cycle as it did from 2018 to 2020, where the coin reached a high of $1,420 before crashing to $88. Fibonacci extensions range between $623, $1,413, $4,405, and between $7,700–$8,000 at the 1.618 extension. The potential for a breakout from an inverse head-and-shoulders structure that has formed since 2021 reinforces the...

- Elizabeth Warren and crypto industry unite in 'unlikely alliance' slamming Trump’s bill An unlikely alliance seems to be forming in the U.S. as two camps, generally lying on the opposite ends of the crypto policy, have found the Donald Trump administration's key legislation lacking in some aspects. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), often very critical of the crypto industry, and the DeFi Education Fund (DEF), a non-profit that is a strong proponent of crypto and DeFi, criticized the Senate's draft legislation for crypto market structure. However, their points of contention, as we will find out, are entirely different. What is crypto market structure legislation? Officially known as the “Responsible Financial Innovation Act," the...

- Bitcoin veteran says 'nobody wants to die for banks’ "Nobody wants to die for the banks,” said Francis Pouliot, CEO of Bull Bitcoin, in an informative YouTube interview with Efrat Fenigson. The long-time cypherpunk claimed fiat money chains people to wars and government overreach, whereas Bitcoin allows individuals to attain financial sovereignty. Sustainability through vigilance The sustainability of Bitcoin is a mix of vigilance and funding, Pouliot stressed. Community projects like Bitcoin Jungle are primarily being bankrolled by Bull Bitcoin profits and grants from the Human Rights Foundation and OpenSats. "Without the profits of Bull Bitcoin, how am I going to finance the stuff that I do with the wallet? Bitcoin Jungle, for...

- Dogecoin Is Jumping Today -- Is the Cryptocurrency a Buy Right Now? Key Points Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) is posting gains today. The cryptocurrency's token price was up 3.7% over the previous 24 hours of trading as of 5 p.m. ET. Over the same period, Bitcoin had risen 1.1%, and Ethereum was up 0.7%. Dogecoin is climbing higher today thanks to the latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS's jobs report showed that the U.S. economy added 22,000 nonfarm jobs in August. Meanwhile, the average economist estimate had called for 75,000 jobs to be added in the period. While the weaker jobs report is raising some red flags for the broader U.S. economy and triggered pullbacks across the stock market today, the...

- Robinhood Set to Join S&P 500 as Bitcoin Giant Strategy Misses Out Shares of Robinhood soared 7% in after-hours trading after the S&P 500 added the crypto-focused fintech to the index. Robinhood (HOOD) will join the index on September 22, according to CNBC, which reported the decision, along with other outlets. Advertising technology firm AppLovin was also added by the index. But the index did not add Bitcoin treasury Strategy, disappointing some observers. The S&P decision underscores the growing might of digital asset-focused companies, which have benefited from the friendlier political and regulatory environment of recent months. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase began trading on its index on May 19. This story will be...

- Sharpening the Stake Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink Gaming is planning to stake a portion of its $3.6 billion ETH stash on the Linea network once it hits mainnet. The company had been staking almost all of its holdings through its custodians, Anchorage and Coinbase. But now it’s eyeing higher-yield opportunities. “When you hold billions of dollars of ETH and you're looking at a portfolio of staking, there is going to be an ability to deploy that through staking opportunities on Linea,” SharpLink co-CEO Joseph Chalom told Decrypt. “And that is really, really important, not only to Consensys, but to the Linea Consortium. And if there are opportunities that SharpLink can avail itself of to get better yield, higher risk-adjusted...

- XRP dropped 4%, despite key regulatory decisions on spot XRP ETFs by the SEC expected in October. This article has been published in CoinDesk via Yahoo News. https://finance.yahoo.com/video/xrp-drops-4-spot-etf-184846380.html

- Wall Street may soon trade like crypto, SEC and CFTC propose 24/7 model Key Takeaways The leaders of the top U.S. market regulators have proposed that Wall Street run 24/7, just like the crypto market. On Sep. 5, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chairman Caroline Pham issued a joint statement, proposing that the U.S. financial markets run online constantly — in contrast to during limited business hours on weekdays. However, the statement added that extending trading hours may be more appropriate for some asset classes than others, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach may not work. Clarity to event and perpetual contracts The SEC and the...

- Hyperliquid Seeks Proposals to Launch USDH Stablecoin—But Some Call Foul Play Hyperliquid, a popular decentralized exchange with a dedicated layer-1 network, has opened proposals for teams to issue a USDH stablecoin that will be “Hyperliquid-first” and “Hyperliquid-aligned.” However, one established Hyperliquid stablecoin protocol is calling foul play, as it was previously blocked from using the USDH ticker. And the timing of the Foundation's announcement has drawn other questions, as well. The Discord announcement posted on Friday says the USDH ticker should go to a team building a “Hyperliquid-first, Hyperliquid-aligned, and compliant USD stablecoin.” Validators will vote over the next five days for the best team to build a...

- Bitcoin treasuries top 1 million Bitcoin as firms risk delisting from New York Stock Exchange Bitcoin treasury companies just crossed a monumental milestone — 184 firms now hold over 1 million Bitcoin, nearly 5% of all the coins that will ever exist. The champagne is going flat as the first treasury company devalued its stocks to avoid delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, and market watchers warn it might be just the beginning. “We’re starting to see digital asset company stock prices diverge from the underlying crypto prices, which is making investors question whether they are a worthwhile investment,” said a former Goldman Sachs analyst. He added that downward price pressure for treasury company stock prices is likely to...

- Taiwan Venture Capital Firm to Create $1 Billion Bitcoin Fund to Support Asia Treasuries Crypto venture capital firm Sora Ventures aims to raise $1 billion to help bolster Bitcoin treasuries in Asia, the firm announced on Friday. Starting with $200 million from partners and investors, the firm seeks to accumulate a further $800 million for BTC over the next six months. “This is the first time that Asia has seen a commitment of this magnitude toward building a network of Bitcoin treasury firms, with capital commitment towards Asia’s first $1 billion treasury fund,” said Sora partner Luke Liu in a statement. The firm said its fund will act differently from other Bitcoin investment vehicles in the region, like the publicly traded...
