Forward Industries (FORD), once a humble design house for doctors and tech wizards over six decades past, has now transformed itself-like a caterpillar into a rather dapper butterfly-into a financier of Solana dreams. With $1.65 billion clasped tightly from private equity nobility, the stage is set for a most splendid spectacle.
Now, brace yourselves, dear investors and aspiring billionaires. The financing, priced at a modest $10 per share (as if you could find that on sale at your local supermarket), includes the star-studded participation of YZi Labs, Brevan Howard, Susquehanna Crypto, and IMC Trading, alongside earlier backers like Dragonfly and ParaFi. Clearly, it’s a who’s-who of the financial elite. The combined entity, henceforth known as StablecoinX Inc., is projected to hold a staggering 3 billion ENA upon its closing. One can only imagine the sheer power this will wield in the world of tokens!
Publicly traded companies holding significant amounts of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and Solana [SOL], aka the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) sector, are facing mounting pressure despite Bitcoin’s rally to fresh highs in August. It seems the higher Bitcoin flies, the more these companies feel like they’re being pulled down by a lead balloon. 🎈
Hyperliquid, the crypto trading platform that’s got more USDC than a beach has sand, is getting ready to mint its very own stablecoin, USDH. And they’re not just picking a name out of a hat; oh no, they’ve opened up a contest to see who gets the golden ticket. The final verdict will come from a validator vote on September 14, 2025, but the proposals are due by September 10. Mark your calendars, people! 🗓️💡
Here’s the thing: TSMC isn’t just sitting pretty at $1.2 trillion market cap-it’s clawing its way up with the kind of relentless ambition that makes me want to both applaud and hide under my duvet. A 150% rise to hit $3 trillion? Sounds absurd, doesn’t it? Like expecting your ex to suddenly start texting you thoughtful good morning messages. But then again… stranger things have happened. Especially when AI is involved.
Enter the Pooled Gold Interest (PGI) token: a flashy digital doppelgänger for those hefty, gleaming 400-ounce bars stashed away in London’s vaults. No longer must a trader wrestle with purchasing the entire intimidating hunk of gold; now, with the grace of a conjurer, one may own but a slice of that glittering behemoth.
With a 3.7% yield over the last 30 days (which, by the way, is practically three times what you’d nab from an S&P 500 index fund, poor thing), it’s an alluring proposition for those with a penchant for passive income. But there is, of course, a fly in the ointment, as there often is in such matters. A quick glance reveals that this highly-touted ETF is, shall we say, a tad choosy about the sectors it embraces-so much so that a good 54% of its assets are concentrated in just three areas. We’re talking energy, consumer staples, and healthcare-a combination that may raise an eyebrow or two.
Imagine a tiny green frog hopping just a smidge higher on a lily pad – that’s XLM’s 2.32% leap from $0.36 to $0.37 in a narrow window between September 7 and 8. One cent might sound small, but in the world of cryptocurrency, it’s practically fireworks. 🎆 The little token waltzed in a tightrope act, zigzagging between $0.36 and $0.37, peaking at a modest but respectable 2.66% intraday range.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! The illustrious Trump clan, always one step ahead in the grand game of life, has managed to add a rather staggering $1.3 billion in crypto wealth to their already bulging coffers. Through their ventures, the charmingly named World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and … Read more
Now, of the two, Domino’s here is the new kid on the block-just started hanging around Berkshire’s porch not too long ago, in fact. They first dropped a few bills on that pizza company in late 2024, then, not content with just a few crumbs, went ahead and piled on a heap more. By the end of June, Warren and his crew had themselves a little more than 2.6 million shares, valued at a whopping $1.2 billion or so. Now that’s a whole lotta pizza, but don’t be fooled-it’s not just about the dough. Domino’s is a serious dividend-payer, slapping out quarterly payouts since 2013, and increasing ’em like clockwork. Most recently, back in February, they cranked it up by a savory 15%, bringing the payout to $1.74 a share. Doesn’t sound like much, but at a yield of nearly 1.5%, it’s a tad better than the average stock on the S&P 500, which is sittin’ around 1.2%. That’s a real nice taste of the good life for folks who like their income steady, like the crust on a good pizza.
