3 Rare Coins Boomers Should Hold Onto for at Least Another Decade When you reach retirement age — as most baby boomers have — it’s tempting to start cashing in your investments and putting the money into savings accounts or other risk-free assets. That’s not always the best policy, though — especially when it comes to assets that consistently rise in value, like rare coins. The reason rare coins increase in value is simple: They will always be rare, and that rarity will always lure collectors and investors. This creates steady demand, which in turn keeps pushing prices higher. Maximizing the value of rare coins by holding on to them is particularly important for boomers who are either already retired or are closing in on retirement...

Imagine a currency that works like cash but is digital, fast, and something your friends are already using. That’s the pitch behind Pi Network, a crypto platform with over 60 million users that’s trying to solve the biggest issue in crypto: usability. Nicolas Kokkalis, the project’s founder and Head of Technology, says it all started with frustration. From friction to function But in 2018, using crypto felt like solving a puzzle. Wallets were hard to set up, user interfaces were clunky, and for most people, it wasn’t worth the effort. That effort became Pi Network, a mobile-first crypto platform where users mine coins by checking into an app daily—no expensive rigs or technical knowledge required. Not just trading, actual utility...

SEC Flags Concerns on Crypto ETFs Offering Staking Rewards A potentially watershed effort to launch US crypto exchange-traded funds that offer staking rewards is raising regulatory doubts, even after the funds said they received initial SEC registration approval. Issuers REX Financial and Osprey Funds are targeting to launch ETFs tracking Ethereum and Solana that offer staking exposure, allowing investors to earn rewards by pledging tokens to help operate the blockchain. US regulators are expressing concern the vehicles may not legally qualify as ETFs under federal securities law. In a letter sent to ETF Opportunities Trust — the legal entity issuing various ETFs including those managed by firms like REX — SEC staff indicated the two...

NYC Comptroller Slams Mayor Eric Adams' Bitcoin Bond Plan as 'Fiscally Irresponsible' New York City’s Comptroller has dismissed a plan by Mayor Eric Adams to back municipal bonds with bitcoin BTC, calling it “legally dubious and fiscally irresponsible.” Comptroller Brad Lander, who co-manages the city’s debt issuance, rejected the proposal just days after Adams pitched the so-called “BitBond” to a crowd at a bitcoin conference in Las Vegas. “Cryptocurrencies are not sufficiently stable to finance our city’s infrastructure, affordable housing, or schools,” Lander said in a press release. He added that such a move could shake investor confidence and run afoul of federal tax law. The idea is part of Adams’ broader push to position New...

XRP Down 4% as Global Economic Tensions Trigger Market Selloff XRP fell as much as 6% over the past 24 hours as global economic tensions rattled financial markets, triggering a wave of liquidations and pushing prices below key support levels. The token dropped from $2.20 to $2.14 as the broader crypto market shed 3.81% of its value, settling at a total market cap of $3.3 trillion. The volatility comes in the wake of the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision to overturn Trump’s trade tariffs, reigniting trade policy concerns and sending ripples across risk assets.

AAVE has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of global market turbulence, rebounding from a 15% price drop over four days as buyers stepped in to capitalize on DeFi’s growing momentum.

Despite these headwinds, the DeFi sector is showing renewed strength, with total value locked (TVL) surging to $178.52 billion. AAVE remains a key leader in the space, commanding a TVL of $25.41...

Robert Kiyosaki Says a ‘Greater Depression’ Is Coming — Do Other Experts Agree? “In 2025 credit card debt is at all time highs. US debt is at all time highs. Unemployment is rising. 401k’s are losing. Pensions are being stolen. USA may be heading for a GREATER DEPRESSION,” Robert Kiyosaki wrote in a tweet on X. He went on to urge investors to buy gold, silver and Bitcoin. “I strongly believe, by 2035, that one Bitcoin will be over $1 million dollars. Gold will be $30k and silver $3,000 a coin. It will be the easiest money you ever made,” he wrote. Kiyosaki is no stranger to doom-and-gloom catastrophizing. Back in 2002, he wrote an entire book about his bearish predictions. The title says it all: “Rich Dad Prophecy: Why the Biggest...

What Investors Need to Know Key Points On May 27, Circle Internet Group updated its filings to become a publicly traded company. It's possible that investors haven't heard of Circle, but cryptocurrency enthusiasts are likely quite familiar with Circle's stablecoin USD Coin (USDC), the second-largest stablecoin by market cap. A stablecoin is an interesting class of cryptocurrency. The price of Bitcoin, for example, recently increased to an all-time high because its price changes relative to the U.S. dollar.

Image source: Getty Images Key Points Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) investors have been very happy over the past month. The valuation of this electric car stock has surged by roughly 40%.

Image source: Getty Images. Key Points On Wall Street, optimism is something of the norm. Even though historical data tells us that not every stock is going to increase in value over the long run, there's a wide disparity among analysts between positive and negative ratings. Whereas 56% of all analyst ratings are the equivalent of "buy" on S&P 500 companies, according to Barron's, just 6% of all ratings fell on the sell side of the equation for S&P 500 companies, as of February. These ratings, while not always accurate, typically offer investors a baseline of how institutional investors and analysts view their company and/or America's most-influential businesses. But every so often, an issued price target by an analyst or...

Jamie Dimon says U.S. should stockpile bullets and tanks, not Bitcoin JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Friday that the United States should be investing in military supplies — not Bitcoin — to protect its national security. Ironically, on May 19, Jamie Dimon told investors that JPMorgan will now allow clients to buy Bitcoin. He clarified the bank won’t custody BTC and reiterated, “I am not a fan.” The shift comes despite Dimon's long history of criticizing crypto, calling it “fraud” and fit only for “criminals.” Speaking at the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, California, Dimon argued that the country needs to prioritize essentials like “guns, bullets, tanks, planes, drones, and rare earths,” rather than piling into...
