Robinhood Is Making a Comeback. Should You Buy the Stock?

Robinhood stock has surged over 80% from its 52-week low after declining 40% year-to-date earlier. Despite disappointing 15% Q1 revenue growth, the company is diversifying beyond crypto, which now represents less than 10% of revenue. High-growth segments including prediction markets, options trading, and margin interest are offsetting crypto's 47% year-over-year decline, positioning the company for stronger growth comparables in 2027.

Circle Internet Group Has a Brand-New Stablecoin Rival. What Does That Mean For Circle Stock?

A coalition of 140+ major companies including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, Coinbase, Google, and Shopify launched Open USD (OUSD), a competing stablecoin that threatens Circle's USDC business model. OUSD offers decentralized governance, shared reserve income, zero-cost minting, and no volume limits, making it more attractive to institutional users. Circle's stock initially dropped on the announcement, and the threat intensifies if Coinbase—a key USDC partner—switches to OUSD when its revenue-sharing agreement expires in August.

Bitcoin's Price Tumbled 18% in June. Here's Why It's Still a Buy This Summer.

Bitcoin fell 18% in June, briefly dipping below $60,000, marking its worst month since 2022. However, the author argues this decline is part of Bitcoin's predictable four-year boom-and-bust cycle. Despite record ETF outflows, institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds continue buying Bitcoin. With historical Q4 strength and potential catalysts like the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve expansion, the author suggests Bitcoin could recover to $100,000 by end of 2026.

Congress Is Trying to Ban the Digital Dollar. What Does That Mean for Crypto Stocks?

Congress passed legislation to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar before 2030, but digital dollar development had already stalled.

Circle faces growing competition from a new Open USD stablecoin consortium backed by major firms like Visa, Mastercard, and BlackRock.
