First, Avoid FOMO The first lament shared is the simple fact that she bought into Bitcoin for the wrong reasons. “In hindsight, I realize I committed the classic retail investor impulse: Buying in because of...

- There have been several iconic moments of fan worship in the crypto industry, such as cryptocurrencies dedicated to billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. Several of these tokens have been officially launched by the personalities themselves, such as the TRUMP meme coin, while others have been fan tributes. However, a recently launched cryptocurrency dedicated to Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao is rather unique in its tribute. Called “(heart) CZ,” the token also literally charted a hearty visual on the price chart. CZ reacted in an emotive manner on X, saying that he had never imagined this use case. CZ is the billionaire founder of Binance, which is the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. Founded in 2017, the...

- Paxos Joins Spate of Crypto Companies Applying for US Trust Bank Licenses (Reuters) - Paxos Trust Company, the cryptocurrency firm behind PayPal's stablecoin, said it is applying to create a national trust bank in the U.S. This move positions Paxos among several digital asset companies seeking a foothold in the traditional financial system. If the charter is granted by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), it would allow Paxos to manage and hold assets on behalf of customers and settle payments at a faster rate. Unlike traditional banks, this license would not permit Paxos to accept cash deposits or provide loans. Should approval be given, Paxos plans to convert its limited-purpose trust charter with the New...

Key Points The Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) blockchain went live 10 years ago. If you'd invested $1,000 in Ethereum at that time when it was trading at $2.79, you could have bought about 358 ETH tokens. Your investment would now be worth nearly $1.4 million at the time of this writing (Aug. 8). Ethereum has gone through plenty of highs and lows over the last decade, and even just in 2025. While it's impossible to predict what will happen next, Ethereum looks like it could continue to do well. The most popular blockchain is getting even better Ethereum is the leading blockchain platform, and it's not a close race. It has the most full-time developers at 4,115, which is about 3,000 more than second-place Solana. It also has the most total...

- The crypto market is now worth more than Microsoft or Apple. A weekend rally carried over into Monday, pushing the total market value past $4.1 trillion to a new all-time high. While this figure spans thousands of digital assets rather than a single company, it highlights the sector's growth. Nearly every major token is in the green, with Bitcoin and Ethereum in the spotlight. Bitcoin jumped 4% over the weekend to reach $122,200 on Monday morning in the UK, nearly eclipsing July’s all-time high of $123,200.

- The SEC Wants to Supercharge Super-Apps. Here's What Investors Need to Know Key Points Paul Atkins, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has unveiled a host of new initiatives under the umbrella of Project Crypto. He says he wants to modernize the SEC's rules and regulations to encourage innovation. One part of his vision is the development of so-called super-apps that let investors access a wide array of assets and financial services in one place -- or even many services beyond finance. Atkins thinks the previous SEC leadership was wrong to argue that almost all cryptocurrencies are securities. Under Project Crypto, he says, the SEC will issue clear guidelines on how to categorize crypto assets. That includes...

- 2 Reasons XRP Is the Highest-Upside Cryptocurrency to Buy Right Now Key Points In the period from November 2024 to February 2025, crypto investors saw plenty of evidence of the remarkable upside potential of XRP (CRYPTO: XRP). In just three months, the price of XRP exploded, from $0.50 to $3.40. Admittedly, the price of XRP has traded back down to the $3 level since then. But there are two very good reasons why XRP might still have plenty of explosive upside potential ahead. Imminent arrival of spot XRP ETFs While XRP remains the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, it has never been a big favorite of institutional buyers. A good reason for that is that there has never been a convenient, efficient, and cost-effective way...

- Key Points The original promise of stablecoins sounded almost boring. Peg a token's value to that of a fiat currency like the dollar, and the crypto market gets "digital dollars" that behave like dollars, just as advertised. In practice, they're a bit more interesting. Regulators eye them as systemic risks or threats to the integrity of their own currencies, criminals use them as easily disabled getaway cars, and investors treat them as the closest thing to cash that blockchains can offer. Stablecoins will only become more important within the financial system over the next five years. Here are three predictions for developments that every long-term investor should expect with them before 2030. 1. Governments will lean on the...
