Bitcoin Pushes Toward $107K Even as Trump Sends National Guard to Los Angeles Bitcoin (BTC) maintained a steady climb Saturday as U.S. domestic tensions intensified. Markets remained focused on crypto resilience despite unsettling headlines, including an immigration-related standoff in Los Angeles. According to a report by CNBC, over 100 arrests have been reported as clashes continued between protesters and federal agents, prompting President Trump to authorize the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops. By Sunday morning, elements of the 79th Infantry Brigade had arrived on-site, according to Northern Command. Further escalation came with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warning that U.S. Marines at Camp Pendleton could also be...

Robert Kiyosaki: Most Poor People Are Poor Because They Break These 2 Laws of Money As the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki has long been dissecting what makes some people rich and some people poor. In a recent post on X, he explains that many people are poor because they break two important laws of money. According to Kiyosaki, here are the laws of money you shouldn’t break if you want to be rich. Law 1: Gresham’s Law Gresham’s Law is an economic principle that states that “bad money drives out good money,” or as Kiyosaki puts it, “When bad money enters a system….good money goes into hiding.” When applied to currency markets, the law states that legally overvalued currency will drive legally undervalued currency out...

Tesla Cybercab. Image source: Tesla. Finally, Some Good News for Tesla Investors Key Points Tesla's challenges have been numerous in 2025, with the electric vehicle (EV) maker facing sales declines in key markets, backlash due to CEO Elon Musk's political antics, and another massive price cut from BYD in China. Robotaxi testing Tesla might be succeeding in its robotaxi ambitions, after years of overpromising on its strategy to derive most of the company's value through this avenue. According to CEO Elon Musk, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y vehicles with no one in the driver's seat for several days on the public streets of Austin, Texas. Although Tesla promised to launch the robotaxi service in June, this step forward...

Streamlined Payments Across Borders The most immediate change will be in how people send and receive money. Pegged 1:1 to fiat currencies, like the U.S. dollar, stablecoins brought the stability that cryptocurrencies lacked, making them practical for everyday transactions. A decade from now, sending money across borders will likely be faster and cheaper. “We believe in the potential of stablecoins to streamline payments and commerce across the value chain,” said Jorn Lambert, chief product officer at Mastercard. This means your future paychecks, bill payments and international transfers could all flow through blockchain-based systems that operate 24/7 without traditional banking intermediaries. Stablecoins Could Power Everyday...

Elon Musk said his high-profile effort to cut government waste with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has made “some progress but not enough.” The tempered assessment comes amid reported tensions between Musk and President Donald Trump, whose administration launched the initiative. Although Musk announced his intention to step down from leadership of DOGE, the department will continue in its attempt to cut unnecessary spending by the federal government. Musk’s Vision for DOGE Musk envisioned DOGE as a transformative force to streamline federal operations. His ambitious plan aimed to eliminate wasteful spending, reduce bureaucracy, and modernize government technology, with the ultimate goal of saving up to $2 trillion in...

Image source: Getty Images. Key Points Few investments age gracefully when the world around them speeds up. The same pressure applies in crypto. Builders, investors, and users do not wait politely for laggards to catch up; they migrate to speed, liquidity, and, most of all, excitement. That reality now confronts Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA), which was once celebrated for its emphasis on peer-reviewed research to advance its underlying technology, as well as for its deliberate pace of technical progress. Three red flags, in particular, suggest that the project risks permanent middle-of-the-pack status unless something changes quickly. Let's check out each of these warning signs in detail. 1. Rivals are racing ahead in every dimension In...

Image source: Getty Images. Key Points Financial services is arguably the most important industry in our economy, as the movement of money, as well as saving and lending activities, is vital for individuals, businesses, and governments. But alongside the massive banks we're all familiar with, there are smaller businesses to pay attention to. In the past decade, the integration of technology within this sector in an effort to better serve customers has become hard to ignore. And this ongoing trend has investment implications for those looking to put money to work in this area. Here are the smartest fintech stocks investors can buy with $500 right now. PayPal The first fintech enterprise that should be on your radar is PayPal...

Meet the new XRP treasurers A crypto treasury company is a publicly traded business that raises capital, buys a digital asset like XRP, and thereby offers its shareholders levered exposure to the underlying asset's price. This approach was first used by Strategy with Bitcoin, and now the same model is being attempted by a few enterprising companies with XRP. In late May, the solar power and storage business VivoPower pivoted to become the world's first XRP-focused treasury company, closing a $121 million private placement-funding round and then in early June specifically allocating $100 million to purchase XRP in an over-the-counter (OTC) deal. And it isn't alone in picking XRP as its treasury asset, at least not any more. Within 24...

Image source: Getty Images. Key Points Ether (CRYPTO: ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, lost more than 30% of its value over the past 12 months. Its first spot-price ETFs were approved last July, but those funds didn't attract as much attention as Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) earlier ETFs. Instead, Ether seemed to be held back by concerns about competition from newer and faster blockchains, its slowing network activity, and the Trump Administration's unpredictable tariffs. Nevertheless, some investors remain fiercely bullish on Ether's future. One of those bulls is ARK Invest's Cathie Wood, who believes Ether's price could reach $166,000 by 2032. That would represent a gain of nearly 6,220% and boost its...

Can XRP Hit $3 in 2025? The cryptocurrency industry has already made its fair share of millionaires, and XRP is one of the best examples. With prices up by 25,000% over the last decade, a $5,000 investment would be worth over $1.25 million today. To put that into context, a similar bet on the S&P 500 would have netted just $14,200. However, now that the easiest money has already been made, it will be harder for XRP to deliver the same multibagger returns it made in the past. Let's dig deeper to see if the stock can hit $3 in 2025 or beyond. What is XRP? Founded in 2012, Ripple Labs created XRP to fix the shortcomings of older platforms like Bitcoin, which was launched three years prior. The developers realized that blockchain...

Image source: Getty Images. Key Points Cryptocurrencies might be worthwhile plays for investors who have a high tolerance for risk. However, they're also notoriously volatile and difficult to value since they often trade on market hype or murky future expectations regarding their scarcity or utility. So instead of chasing the market's hottest cryptocurrencies right now, it might be smarter to invest in three speculative tech stocks: CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and QuantumScape (NYSE: QS). These stocks are also undeniably risky, but they're built on firmer businesses with clearer roadmaps for the future. CoreWeave CoreWeave, which was once an Ethereum mining operation, abandoned the crypto market in 2018...

Bill Gross, the "bond king" offered up a candid take on bitcoin after its dramatic rally since early April.Image source: Bloomberg/Getty Images It's been a wild ride for markets since President Trump announced widespread tariffs on April 2. Trump's so-called “Liberation Day” announcement included higher tariff rates than hoped, leading to investors reworking their expectations for the U.S. economy. There's evidence that a potential U.S. economic slowdown may already be underway, and despite ongoing tariff negotiations, risks remain that tariffs may push the economy into stagflation or outright recession. That risk continues to cast a shadow over risk assets, including stocks and cryptocurrency, which tend to perform best when...

Over time, coins can become rare collectibles that are sold for thousands, if not millions, of dollars. That’s because the U.S. has been minting coins since 1793. Up until the 20th century, many coins were composed of basic metals like gold and silver — that is, until gold was banned from coinage by way of executive order in 1933, and silver was watered out of production by the early 1970s. However, just because the recipe and ingredients changed, that doesn’t mean these coins are not still out there adding up in value due to their rarity and backstory. GOBankingRates dug into the history of some of these hard-to-find (and now incredibly valuable) coins sought by collectors around the globe. What makes these coins earn their...

Ether Holds Steady Above $2,500 as ETF Demand Signals Institutional Confidence Ether (ETH) has rebounded firmly from key support near $2,460, recovering losses and stabilizing above the $2,500 threshold amid broader market volatility. The rally follows a higher low formation backed by above-average volume, signaling growing market confidence. Institutional participation appears to be reinforcing the trend, with BlackRock’s ETHA ETF reporting $492 million in net inflows last week. Total holdings now exceed $4.84 billion, reinforcing long-term bullish sentiment even as price action remains sensitive to geopolitical developments. Traders are watching to see if ETH can challenge resistance in the $2,520–$2,530 range. Technical Analysis...

Coinbase, BiT Global End Legal Fight Over WBTC Delisting Coinbase and BiT Global have reached a legal settlement that ended their dispute over the delisting of BiT Global’s wrapped bitcoin (wBTC) token on Coinbase. According to a joint court filing, BiT Global has agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against the crypto exchange with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be brought again in the future. The filing notes that both companies will cover their own legal expenses. BiT Global had filed the lawsuit last year in the Northern District of California after Coinbase delisted the token over what it said was “unacceptable risk” that the tokenized BTC would “fall into the hands of Justin Sun.” Sun became affiliated with wBTC in August last...

Solana's SOL Rebounds as Buyers Step In Above $147 SOL showed renewed strength Saturday as it rebounded from a low of $147.13 to trade back above $151, despite lingering global macroeconomic headwinds. The recovery comes amid a spike in on-chain activity, with Coin Days Destroyed surging to 3.55 billion—its third-highest level this year—indicating movement of long-dormant tokens. The bounce off $147 confirmed a bullish double bottom pattern, supported by rising volume and a return to a short-term bullish channel on the 6-hour chart. Solana now faces overhead resistance near $152.85, where sellers previously stepped in, but a move above that level could open the door toward the $155–$157 zone. While Solana’s network fundamentals...

Last week, a company that most people outside of the crypto field hadn’t heard of became the toast of Wall Street. Circle Internet Group, typically referred to as Circle, is a peer-to-peer digital payments company, but it's best known for issuing the Stablecoin, a digital asset whose value is pegged to the U.S. dollar. The newly minted stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 5, quickly catching the attention of many investors. The market hasn’t seen too many tech initial public offerings (IPOs) so far this year, with the exception of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing startup CoreWeave, which began trading in March. The new stock has enjoyed significant growth and has remained in the spotlight as the...

AVAX Jumps 6% as Trump-Musk Tensions Fade and Institutional Momentum Builds Avalanche’s native token AVAX surged more than 6% in the last 24 hours, outpacing the broader crypto market as measured by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, which rose 0.8% in the same period. AVAX’s price may have rebounded from political jitters and moved on the back of major developments in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and institutional adoption. The token climbed from a low of $19.37 to $20.96, recovering from a wider market sell-off triggered by growing tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk earlier this week, which saw the former threaten to terminate government contracts for the latter, who in turn accused the president...

Don’t See This Crypto as a Risk? ‘You’re Dumb,’ According to Dave Ramsey Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey says a sole investment in bitcoin without seeing the risk is a dumb idea. He might not be entirely off the mark, either. Bitcoin is fundamentally volatile, but less so than many large and popular stocks such as Netflix (NFLX). Bitcoins’ realized volatility over a 90-day timeframe averaged 46%, while Netflix averaged 54%. However, while investors this year have been moving from gold to bitcoin, gold remains the better performer year-to-date — up 23.8%, according to Bloomberg — outperforming bitcoin and hitting a new all-time high earlier this year. Make Sure You Have Money To Burn From 2020 to 2024, bitcoin has been three to...

State of Crypto: How Crypto Legislation Is Advancing The House Financial Services Committee might mark up market structure legislation next week, while the Senate seems close to passing its stablecoin bill. The narrative Here's what's clear: There are bills and they will probably get votes next week. Here's what's unclear: What all lawmakers might need to get enough votes to actually advance these bills, and if they're there already or not. Why it matters The crypto industry has waited for years for Congress to pass legislation giving it some sort of regulatory clarity. Congress has taken a number of key steps this year already, but next week might see quite a few of these steps happen. Breaking it down Logistical details first...
