Image generated by CariGold As Trump Signs the Genius Act Into Law, Should You Buy Circle Stock?

Image generated by CariGold 3 Reasons Why the Crypto Market Isn't in a Bubble (Yet) Every few years, a soaring asset earns dire comparisons to tulips or to tech stocks in 1999. With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) now above $118,000, up 407% in the last three years, those warnings are back. Getting the timing wrong can mean missing years of upside, or, worse, buying just before the music stops. But the market probably isn't in a crypto bubble just yet, for three reasons in particular. Together, these factors doubtlessly signal enthusiasm in the market but not the runaway fervor that defines a bubble, so let's examine each of them. 1. The "rainbow" chart The rate of Bitcoin's creation of new supply falls by 50% roughly every four years in an...

Image generated by CariGold Wendy’s (WEN) shares shot up some 10% at market open on Wednesday, July 23 amid broader meme stock frenzy, with retail traders rotating into names with elevated short interest. The fast-food chain, with a tad above 11% of its float sold short, joined the ranks of Krispy Kreme (DNUT) and GoPro (GPRO) as speculative favorites. Even at its intraday peak, however, Wendy’s stock was down 25% versus its year-to-date high. Could Upcoming Earnings Lift Wendy’s Stock? While a short squeeze often comes with its own set of risks, WEN shares remain unattractive also because the Nasdaq-listed firm has been struggling to improve its fundamentals.

Image generated by CariGold Barclays on Tesla: Near-term cracks, long-term faith Investing.com -- Tesla’s second-quarter results offered a fresh look at the company’s deepening divide between fundamentals and narrative, according to Barclays analysts, who reiterated an Equal Weight rating and $275 price target on the stock in a note Thursday. “The 2Q result further reinforced that gulf, begging the question of whether fundamentals may matter to the stock, at least for now,” Barclays wrote. Despite an inline EPS and a beat on gross margins, the firm expects “near-term fundamentals to weaken post tax credit expiry, tariffs, reduced reg credit sales.” Barclays said CEO Elon Musk continues to push a far-reaching AI narrative, stating...

With crypto adoption on the rise, some investors are likely looking beyond the usual suspects and considering positions in less mainstream opportunities such as XRP or Dogecoin. What investors need to know about investing in XRP...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) is on fire. Its price has risen by 110% during the past three months. One major driver is optimism about the impact of the Genius Act, which sets a framework for stablecoins and is the first piece of crypto legislation to become law in the U.S. Many stablecoins are built on Ethereum's blockchain, and any industry growth could translate to more activity on its network. Another positive tailwind is that companies are starting to add Ethereum to their corporate treasuries. SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) is leading the way, purchasing 74,656 Ethereum coins between July 7 and July 13, taking its holdings to 280,706 -- worth more than $1 billion at the time of writing (July...
