Image generated by CariGold Key Points Cathie Wood, the head of the technology-focused investment firm ARK Invest, doesn't shy away from making big bets and bold predictions. She is a vocal backer of Tesla, making it clear that she sees its robotaxi and robotics businesses changing the world -- and making trillions of dollars doing it. Her predictions in the crypto market are just as bold, none more so than her Bitcoin price target. Wood is a huge proponent of the digital coin -- and crypto more generally -- and was one of the more influential figures in getting spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds approved. During that process, she said that her firm believed that the token could be worth as much as $1.5 million by the end of the...

Image generated by CariGold Investing in a Top Vanguard ETF Investing periodically into the stock market is a good habit to create for a couple of reasons. First, it eliminates the temptation to try and time the market, which can be time-consuming and result in your missing out on gains along the way. Secondly, if it becomes part of your regular budgeting process to set aside a certain amount of money for investing, that can help ensure you are hitting your investing goals without having to worry about building up a big lump sum first. A good amount to aim for may be $250 per month, which translates into $3,000 per year. That can be enough to generate some strong gains over the long haul. And if you can afford to invest more than...

Image generated by CariGold Solana Is Poised for a Monster Move Just a few summers ago, skeptics were busy drafting Solana's (CRYPTO: SOL) obituary after a string of high-profile fraud-related meltdowns amid a slew of network hiccups. Yet today it's humming along at record speeds, gobbling up developer mindshare, and flirting with higher prices than ever before. The presence of medium-term momentum alone should not ever constitute an investment thesis, but in Solana's case, a rare mix of fundamental and macro forces is starting to look downright combustible to the upside. Four big trends are lining up at once. Add them up and the next 18 months could be an absolutely monstrous period for returns. Let's dive in and explore why. Four...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points In the crypto market, there's been slim pickings this year. Many top cryptocurrencies are down anywhere from 20% to 50%, and are showing little sign of turning around anytime soon. Aside from Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), it's difficult to find any solid investment prospects. While a few high-flying names have soared in value this year, many of them might not be worth the risk. Let's take a closer look. Hyperliquid First up is Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE). If the ticker symbol for this cryptocurrency doesn't raise a red flag, I don't know what will. Out of seemingly nowhere, Hyperliquid is up 65% for the year, and now ranks as the 11th-largest cryptocurrency in the world, with a staggering $13 billion...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is performing very strongly today, with organic sales up 6% in the first quarter of 2025. That comes amid a tough backdrop for consumer staples companies, thanks to inflation and consumers' worries about their finances. But Wall Street isn't ignorant of Coca-Cola's success, and that makes this relatively poorly performing peer a better investment option today. What's wrong with Coca-Cola? From a business perspective, there's not much wrong with Coca-Cola. As noted, it is performing well right now. That success is driven by the company's stable of iconic brands, its global distribution strength, a top-notch marketing team, and industry-leading research and development...

Bitcoin Hits Record High of $120,000 as Bullish Momentum Builds (Bloomberg) -- Bitcoin breached $120,000 for the first time, with investor optimism increasing almost daily after it emerged from a narrow trading range that had left skeptics wondering whether the original cryptocurrency would regain the record-breaking momentum seen at the start of the year. After surging on the election of Donald Trump to a second US presidential term, Bitcoin had settled into a pattern of fluctuating on either side of $100,000 for several months. Concern about Trump’s political and economic policies had helped to temper optimism over the pro-crypto agenda of his administration. Now with other risk assets such as stocks back around record highs...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points Just two months after reaching an all-time high, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has done it again. The leading cryptocurrency surpassed $115,000 on July 10, continuing a remarkable run. It's up 25% in 2025 at the time of this writing (July 10) and 1,150% over the last five years.

A crypto-friendly political landscape The Trump administration has been good for the cryptocurrency market so far. President Donald Trump's pick for Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair, Paul Atkins, has said that...

Chart of the Week: 'Hyperbitcoinization' May Not Be Just Maximalist Fantasy Anymore "Hyperbitcoinization" — an almost apocalyptic term evoking end-of-days fiat collapse and bitcoin’s parabolic rise to global reserve status — is increasingly being discussed in more serious circles. For hardcore bitcoin maximalists, it's long been the ultimate scenario: a financial utopia where individuals, institutions, and even nations are all-in on a bitcoin-only system as the fiat-based economy collapses. While we aren't there yet, the recent events might suggest something is brewing. Bitcoin is trading at record highs above $119,000. The market cap of bitcoin is near that of the tech giants. The U.S. dollar is continuing its slow bleed in real...

Bitcoin Breaks $119K, While XLM and HBAR Lead Altcoin Rally According to CoinDesk data, at 2:20 p.m. UTC on Sunday, the bitcoin (BTC) price set a new all-time high of $119,308, up 1.4% in the past 24-hour period. The new high in bitcoin price comes as President Donald Trump said late Friday that the U.S. will impose 30% tariffs against imports from the EU and Mexico.
