While Bitget Wallet experts, with their crystal balls and spreadsheets, boldly predict a $10,000 target for Ethereum (ETH), Standard Chartered chimes in with a prediction that companies might soon own 10% of all Ether. 🏦 A tenfold increase, they say, with the gravitas of a man who’s just discovered fire. 🔥
If management is to be believed—and belief, in the markets, is less a virtue than a vice—they have furnished the world with an augury of 12% revenue growth and a portly 20% lift in adjusted EPS for 2025. This is all one could desire, save perhaps for the explanation of how cyclical gravity has momentarily been suspended. The shares, undaunted by pesky realities, ascended to record highs with all the decorum of a champagne cork at a bachelor’s table.
What sent this stock charging forward? According to the financial grapevine, it all started with an analyst note from Wedbush’s Dan Ives—a man whose name now feels as familiar to me as my own reflection in the mirror after too many late-night trading binges. He raised his price target on FUBO to $6, citing “encouraging” preliminary results and calling management’s guidance “conservative.” Encouraging? Conservative? These are words I cling to when trying not to panic about volatile streaming stocks.
After a first-quarter stumble—marketing costs bloated, tariffs snarled the supply chain—LendingClub found its rhythm. They made $0.33 per share on $248.5 million. A tidy sum. The world keeps spinning. So it goes.
With the grandeur of a Cossack ballad, Coinbase announced their partnership via a tweet and a blog post, declaring their intent to “bridge tradfi to crypto.” The trio of new features? Let’s call it a love letter to the 80 million souls who’ve entrusted Coinbase with their digital dreams. Or their savings. Depends on the market. 🤷♂️
As I pen these words, the FORM price stands proudly at $3.78, a figure that, while modest, carries the weight of a 613.43% surge in 24-hour volume to a staggering $61.79 billion. With a market capitalization now resting at $1.44 billion, FORM has not only captured the hearts of many but also the wallets, as it continues its ascent within a rising price channel. This dramatic rise, much like a grand opera, is filled with crescendos of investor interest and the undercurrents of cautious optimism. 🎵💼
The strength of Coca-Cola lies not in its flashiness—indeed, its business model is rather mundane—but in its remarkable resilience. In the face of market fluctuations and unpredictable political climates, notably the erratic tendencies of current trade policies, Coca-Cola appears well-positioned to weather the storm. The company, a titan of consumer staples, operates largely with a localized manufacturing strategy, ensuring that the bulk of its products for U.S. consumers are produced domestically. Thus, while it is not wholly insulated from the peril of tariffs, its foundation is sturdier than many of its multinational counterparts.
Ethereum (ETH), the overachieving younger sibling, is up over 1%, insisting that it’s heading for $4,000, if only Bitcoin would get out of the bathroom. XRP is bouncing up by 0.6%. Solana is down over 1%, around $181, and Dogecoin (DOGE) is down a little, probably because Elon’s Twitter fingers are busy elsewhere. Cardano (ADA) is drifting at $0.787—which sounds impressive until you realize that’s not even a good tip at a New York coffee shop. Stellar, Chainlink, Hedera, and Polkadot also sported that “declining stocks” look. On the bright side, Litecoin and Toncoin are up, waving from their ski lodge in Switzerland. 🏔️
In a Truth Social post that screams “I’m still relevant, guys!” Trump took another swing at Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Because, you know, what’s a day in politics without a good old-fashioned feud? 🤺
One need only glance at Intel’s most recent earnings report to discern that the company faces formidable challenges, largely due to its new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, who has embarked upon a rather drastic “right-sizing” campaign. With a decided lack of sentimentality, the company has laid off no less than 15% of its workforce. Furthermore, it is divesting itself of its networking and edge business, thereby transforming into an independent entity, ripe for external investment. In addition, one cannot ignore the impairments taken on obsolete equipment, signaling a departure from assets once considered valuable.
