For more than a century, the stock market has been the king of all wealth creators. But when the lens is narrowed to the last decade, cryptocurrencies have, collectively, run circles around Wall Street's major stock indexes.

Image generated by CariGold Should You Buy XRP (Ripple) While It's Under $5? Key Points Cryptocurrency XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has gained lots of attention from investors lately, resulting in a 480% increase over the past year. Whenever any type of investment rises that quickly, it's worth evaluating to see if it's worth owning. Unlike some cryptocurrencies, XRP (sometimes called Ripple) has real-world applications through its blockchain, which can act as a bridge currency in foreign transactions, saving both time and money compared to traditional financial transactions. But XRP's rapid value increase calls into question whether the crypto is overvalued right now, and if it's being driven higher simply because of investor sentiment. While...

Image generated by CariGold PTC doesn't need Autodesk PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) investors were treated to a flurry of excitement in July as, according to reports, its larger peer Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) took a serious look at acquiring the company only to appear to back off any such large undertakings by issuing a regulatory filing stating it was "allocating capital to organic investment, targeted and tuck-in acquisitions." The market had no doubt about its opinion on the speculation. Autodesk shares tumbled on the day Bloomberg discussed the potential bid, while PTC stock naturally soared. This is somewhat common in such situations, and is often driven by hedge funds engaging in so-called merger arbitrage. Hedge funds often look to sell...

Image generated by CariGold Billionaire has a Shocking Strategy to Counter BRICS’ De-dollarization Move Paolo Ardoino, the billionaire CEO of the crypto company Tether, thinks that stablecoins are the ultimate tools to push back against the de-dollarization efforts of the BRICS countries. In every country Tether is offering its USDT stablecoin, it is encouraging the adoption of the U.S. dollar, he said. A stablecoin is nothing but a type of cryptocurrency that attempts to stabilize its value, unlike traditionally volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. It is pegged to a traditional currency like the USD or a commodity like gold. USDT, for example, is pegged 1:1 to the dollar. With President Donald Trump signing the GENIUS Act...

Image generated by CariGold Michael Saylor Is Bringing Bitcoin-Backed Money-Market-Style Vehicle to Wall Street: NYDIG Strategy (MSTR) is pulling off some form of financial alchemy: using bitcoin, historically a volatile asset, to create something that looks a lot like stability. That’s the firm’s $2 billion “Stretch” Preferred Stock (STRC) offering that offers a variable 9% dividend and is designed to keep the share price hovering near $100. The offering doesn’t give investors direct bitcoin exposure, yet it's backed by the asset in spirit and structure, according to a recent NYDIG report. Strategy holds $71.7 billion in bitcoin and just $11 billion in liabilities, giving it room to deliver income even if crypto prices dip, the...

Image generated by CariGold Is Investing in "The DORKs" a Good Idea Right Now? There's a new investing trend out there. Well, perhaps "newish" is the best way to put it, because to my eyes this is just a recycling of the meme stock fad that swept through the markets four years ago. That didn't end well for a lot of people, and I have similar expectations for this one. The stocks feeding into this trend are known as DORK stocks -- an acronym for the stock tickers of Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ: DNUT), Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN), Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), and Kohl's (NYSE: KSS). Just as in the meme stock boom of old, some of these companies are seeing wild changes in price and valuation for no good reason. But the trading volume...

Image generated by CariGold The Ether Machine, a new crypto venture formed through the merger of Ether Reserve and Dynamix Corporation (DYNX), is preparing to go public after raising over 400,000 ether (ETH-USD), equivalent to $1.5 billion, offering the public a new way to access cryptocurrency yields. The news came after a week when the ethereum cryptocurrency surged by over 20%, leading some to predict that it could pass $4,000 and sending long-term predictions into the $10,000s. Ether Machine isn't the first firm to do this. BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), chaired by Fundstrat's Tom Lee, announced plans to begin stockpiling ether back in late June.

Image generated by CariGold Michael Saylor’s controversial bitcoin treasury strategy is no longer fringe — it’s being mimicked across corporate America. According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, companies have raised more than $85 billion in 2025 to buy cryptocurrencies for their corporate treasuries — more than double the amount raised in U.S. IPOs this year. Unlike in 2020, when MicroStrategy’s Saylor stood alone in selling shares to buy bitcoin, a new wave of companies — from toy manufacturers to semiconductor firms — is executing similar strategies with institutional backing. Capital Group, Galaxy Digital, and D1 Capital are among the firms pouring cash into companies that raise funds to accumulate digital assets directly...

Image generated by CariGold If you’ve been on the sidelines watching bitcoin’s wild price swings with caution, you’re not alone. For years, bitcoin has had dramatic ups and downs, making everyday investors nervous about jumping in. However, this might be changing. A report from Deutsche Bank suggests that bitcoin’s volatility is likely to continue falling. It pointed to growing mainstream acceptance and an increase in the digital currency’s adoption by companies, retail investors, and governments. And if the trend continues, bitcoin could become more like traditional assets and even more attractive to long-term investors. What does this mean for conservative investors? Is it time to invest? Why Bitcoin’s Volatility Is Easing Up...

Image generated by CariGold On July 18, President Donald Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law. The GENIUS Act is the first significant legislation for cryptocurrency in the United States. What Does the GENIUS Act Do for Crypto? Rob Nolan, a Duane Morris partner, defined the GENIUS Act as the “first step of the U.S. government really regulating cryptocurrency.” The law pertains primarily to one kind of cryptocurrency, stablecoins, which are designed to keep a stable valuation by being pegged to reliable assets, like the U.S. dollar or even gold. The GENIUS Act regulates who can issue the dollar-pegged stablecoins with federal oversight, ensuring that issuers have...

Image generated by CariGold Americans see crypto as niche and ‘risky’ despite Trump’s pro-crypto push, corporate embrace: Gallup Main Street still isn’t sold on crypto despite its regulatory glow-up in Washington. Roughly 14% of Americans own any cryptocurrency, and most say they’re unlikely to ever buy in, according to a recent Gallup survey. Perceptions of risk remain the biggest hurdle. A majority of respondents said crypto is either “very risky” or “somewhat risky,” with only 4% saying they’re likely to buy it soon. Another 60% said they have no interest in buying crypto at all. Ownership is concentrated in a narrow demographic: men aged 18 to 49, 25% of whom say they hold Bitcoin or other digital assets. Rates drop sharply...

Image generated by CariGold Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) has experienced an impressive surge over the past year, capturing investors with its remarkable turnaround. After facing scrutiny for its payment-for-order-flow business model and its role in the 2021 meme stock frenzy, the company is becoming a formidable player in the financial landscape.

Image generated by CariGold Where Will XRP (Ripple) Be in 5 Years? Key Points The price of Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) is surging once again. Over the past year, Ripple's valuation has skyrocketed higher by nearly 500%. Looking at the numbers, there could be significant upside yet to go. But what exactly should investors expect from the crypto token over the next five years? Can Ripple actually replace SWIFT? Since inception, Ripple's primary goal has been to replace SWIFT: the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. SWIFT is the current global standard that financial institutions use for processing transactions. At its core, Ripple believes its network is faster, cheaper, and more secure. But getting big banks to...

Image generated by CariGold Elon Musk’s net worth recently broke $400 billion, although it dropped back down to $364 billion as of this writing in mid-July, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. Much of this wealth is held in shares of Tesla stock; Musk owns 13% of the company. This means the tech mogul’s net worth fluctuates wildly based on Tesla’s success. It can be hard to fathom having so much money that losing $40 billion overnight is just an average day. But what if Musk shared all his money with everyone in the U.S.? Would it change people’s lives? We asked ChatGPT what would happen if Elon Musk’s wealth was evenly distributed across America.

Image generated by CariGold Key Points Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) are back in the headlines this summer for a simple reason: Both coins are rallying, and investors want to know which is more likely to keep sprinting. Ethereum trades for more than $3,700 after a brisk 50% climb in the past 30 days, buoyed by newfound demand for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a well-received network upgrade. Meanwhile, during the past month, Dogecoin has bounced by 37% to reach $0.24 on speculation the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might green-light a Dogecoin ETF later this year. At first glance, doubling seems easier for a meme coin than for a multibillion-dollar smart contract platform. But price alone doesn't...
