The U.S. Treasury, in a gesture of bureaucratic paternalism, has claimed a 10% share in the enterprise, while Nvidia, that colossus of silicon ambition, has pledged $5 billion to the cause. One might ask: does this mark the beginning of a renaissance, or merely the next act in a theater of the absurd?
Morgan Stanley (MS), that paragon of financial prudence, has gone full crypto cowboy. E*Trade clients? They’ll trade crypto now. Asset allocation strategies? Cryptocurrencies, of course. And a blockchain wallet? Because nothing says “trust me” like a digital piggy bank. The old guard is now the new wild west, and I, for one, am here for the shootout at the OK Corral of finance.
Beneath the surface, however, a tempest brews: a cacophony of conflicting convictions among Solana’s loyalists, rendering the altcoin’s near-term fate as ambiguous as a Nabokovian riddle.
Shall we abandon this dance partner mid-chorus? Perish the thought. Allow me to propose three reasons why one might still consider twirling with ISRG, despite its current two-left-feet stumble.
Robinhood’s ascent this year, with a 208% gain, has outpaced even the gilded trajectories of Nvidia and Palantir. Yet beneath the veneer of triumph lies a story as old as the stock market itself: the fleeting promise of a silver bullet. The company’s transaction revenue, once buoyed by the Trump-era frenzy-when cryptocurrencies were hailed as the next Bitcoin and margin loans flowed like oil-has since turned to sand. In Q2 2025, crypto transaction revenue plummeted 55%, a stark reminder that the crowd’s euphoria is as fickle as the tides.
Yet speculation persists! Like young ladies at a country ball, certain equities continue to attract ardent admirers despite their elevated prices. Allow me to present three such specimens whose fortunes Wall Street gentlemen predict might yet ascend – though with the caveat that fortunes, like reputations, are easily overturned.
CORP-DEPO Supernova is a portfolio service where The CORP-DEPO invests real balance sheet cash in two growth “missions” based on David Gardner’s investment philosophy. The service creates cohesive, goal-oriented portfolios using companies that meet David’s famous “six traits of a Rule Breaker stock.” Or, as we like to call them, six reasons to question your life choices.
The cheap XPL piqued the interest of key players, but alas, speculative interest has not yet reversed its tragic course.
The most recent disclosures from the realm of 13F filings reveal a veritable assembly of distinguished gentlemen partaking in this speculative dance. Among them, Alan Howard of Brevan Howard has secured a position so substantial it might rival a prime London townhouse, while Israel Englander’s consortiums have acquired shares with the enthusiasm of country dancers at a ball. Even the venerable Harvard Management Company, guardian of the Western world’s most storied endowment, has cast aside its academic reserve to claim 1.9 million shares – a courtship of digital fortunes most unbecoming of its scholarly reputation.
The Bitcoin treasury trend-where companies raise money just to buy Bitcoin-was the equivalent of everyone at a party clinking their glasses with the same person. Now, it’s Ethereum’s turn, and Kendrick claims it’s happening twice as fast. If that’s true, I’d like to know where the “slow” version of buying cryptocurrency is held. Is it a museum? A monastery? A Zoom call?
