Image generated by CariGold Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has minted a lot of millionaires since its market debut in 2020. The meme coin was launched as a parody of Dogecoin, which itself was a parody of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), and had an earliest trading price of just $0.00000000051. Today, Shiba Inu trades at $0.000012. That rally would have turned a $100 investment into $2.35 million. Let's see why this canine-themed coin generated such massive gains -- and if it can churn out even comparable millionaire-making gains during the next few years. What sets Shiba Inu apart from other cryptocurrencies? Shiba Inu's anonymous founder, Ryoshi, created the token on Ethereum's (CRYPTO: ETH) blockchain and minted its entire supply of 1...

Image generated by CariGold Can XRP Hit $4 by 2026? In 2025, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has come tantalizingly close to hitting a new all-time high of $4 on two occasions. Heading into Inauguration Day, XRP soared in value and peaked at about $3.40. Then, after a long, disastrous slide, XRP suddenly regained momentum and hit a new 52-week high of $3.65 on July 17. But now XRP is back down to a price of about $3. To hit a price of $4 by 2026, XRP will need to rally by 33% or more. Is that possible? Let's do the math. As Bitcoin goes, so goes XRP If history is any guide, the broader crypto market will move higher in the second half of 2025 only if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) moves higher. And right now, Bitcoin is having tremendous difficulty...

Image generated by CariGold Corporate Interest in Ether Some companies are favoring ether over bitcoin as an inflation hedge, as the cryptocurrency hits a sweet spot between affordability and credibility, supported by a strong blockchain backbone. Corporate treasuries held at least 966,304 ether tokens on their balance sheets at the end of July, worth nearly $3.5 billion, according to a Reuters analysis of regulatory filings and disclosures.

Unlike bitcoin, which solely relies on price appreciation, ether can be used in staking, a practice where holders lock up their...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points President Donald Trump's support for the crypto sector is no joke. Trump promised on the campaign trail to help the sector and has followed through by surrounding himself with pro-crypto advisors and cabinet members, and establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and digital asset stockpile. Trump also has begun to push crypto legislation through Congress. Most recently, Trump unveiled a crypto policy roadmap to further bolster the sector in his push to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. Here are three ways this roadmap could affect Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency. 1. Removing regulatory gray areas One of the big issues for crypto businesses and...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points While Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) is not currently publicly traded, the company has an estimated valuation of $515 billion, which would rank it among the top 20 most valuable companies in the United States, just ahead of Mastercard. Thanks to its massive holdings of more than $120 billion in T-bills, Tether now has the attention of the U.S. Treasury Department. And, increasingly, the company is also on the radar of investors, who are looking for ways to profit from the buzz around stablecoins. Why is everyone talking about Tether right now? Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the world, has been around since 2014, but it is only in the past year that Wall Street investors have really started...

Image generated by CariGold Up 51% in 1 Month, Is XRP (Ripple) Worth Buying and Holding for Years? Runaway trains rarely stop on a dime, but that doesn't stop investors from fearing exactly that outcome. In July, XRP surged by more than 50% before giving back some of its gains in early August. A single month's performance does not define a long-term investment, yet sharp moves often signal that something has changed under the hood, and, in this case, if there were such a change it would be for the better. If you missed the ride in July, the real question is whether today's price is still attractive. The short answer here is yes, at least if you are willing to own a coin whose biggest catalysts are only now falling into place. Here's...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points In the crypto market, all eyes are now on Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), which is up a head-spinning 50% over the past 30 days. The price of Ethereum is now $3,600, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, Tom Lee, the co-founder of Fundstrat and the chairman of a new Ethereum Treasury Company, thinks a fair price for Ethereum could be as high as $15,000. And he thinks Ethereum might get there by the end of the year. But is he right? Could Ethereum really skyrocket 300% in a span of mere months? The Wall Street convergence theory Central to Tom Lee's thesis is the idea that the worlds of Wall Street finance and blockchain finance are converging. Terms like "stablecoins" and "tokenization"...

Image generated by CariGold Inverse Finance snags $2.6m from DeFi investors to plug bad debt hole DeFi lending protocol Inverse Finance, with more than $178 million in investor funds, has patched a $2.6 million bad debt hole in the project’s finances. A bad debt happens when a loan position cannot be repaid because the collateral used to borrow funds has lost a lot of its value, which leaves the lender with a hole in their finances. It can happen due to malicious exploits that drain liquidity from lending pools or a massive market decline that causes the price of collateral tokens to plummet. On Monday, Inverse Finance secured funds to service the bad debt by selling 104,000 of its native Inverse tokens to a cohort of DeFi...

Image generated by CariGold Ethereum’s 30% Rally Fueled by Policy Clarity and ETF Momentum Ethereum is back in the spotlight—up 30% in just a week—as a confluence of policy tailwinds, institutional inflows, and renewed developer confidence drive capital back into the second-largest crypto asset. It’s not just another bounce. This time, ETH is moving like it has something to prove—and perhaps even more to gain. A big part of the momentum stems from the passage of the GENIUS Act, a sweeping U.S. regulatory framework aimed at legitimizing and standardizing the issuance of stablecoins. It’s a bullish development on its own, but the real kicker is that over 50% of global stablecoin activity still settles on Ethereum. As the preferred...

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has issued a sharp take on the state of today’s markets, it’s no longer just meme stocks — everything is a meme. In a conversation with Axios, Cuban contrasted the current market frenzy with the dotcom bubble he famously navigated in the late 1990s. While that era was wild, Cuban argues this one might be riskier, largely due to the power of retail investors and crypto-fueled culture. “Back then day traders had minimal online resources,” Cuban told Axios. “Now younger traders are far more risk tolerant… They see the volatility of crypto, particularly meme coins, and see stocks as just one more version of meme coins.” He added, “..back then it was anyone with a .com could go public… Now anyone can issue...
