SharpLink to Bring SBET Shares to Ethereum via Superstate Collaboration cryptonews
ETH
TL;DR

Equity Tokenization: SharpLink will tokenize its Nasdaq-listed SBET shares on Ethereum via Superstate’s Opening Bell platform, becoming the first public company to do so.
DeFi Integration: The partnership explores compliant trading of tokenized equities on Automated Market Makers and other decentralized finance protocols.
Ethereum Strategy: With over 838,000 ETH in reserves, SharpLink strengthens its role as a major corporate holder while advancing Ethereum adoption in capital markets.

SharpLink Gaming, Inc. has announced a landmark move to tokenize its Nasdaq-listed common stock, SBET, directly on the Ethereum blockchain. Partnering with financial technology firm Superstate, the company will leverage the Opening Bell platform to issue SEC-registered equity on-chain, positioning itself as the first public company to natively bring its shares to Ethereum. The initiative underscores SharpLink’s dual mission of expanding Ethereum adoption and modernizing capital markets through compliant tokenized securities.

First Public Company to Tokenize Equity on Ethereum
SharpLink’s collaboration with Superstate marks a milestone in blockchain-based finance. By appointing Superstate as its Digital Transfer Agent, the company will enable SBET shares to exist as fully compliant, legally equivalent equity on Ethereum. This development allows shareholders to hold their stock in self-custodied wallets, integrate with digital financial products, and access global investor segments. Superstate CEO Robert Leshner emphasized the significance of onboarding traditional finance to Ethereum through this partnership.

Driving Market Efficiency and Shareholder Value
According to SharpLink co-CEO Joseph Chalom, tokenizing equity on Ethereum is more than a technological step; it signals the company’s vision for the future of global capital markets. The move is designed to enhance liquidity, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities for investor engagement. Joseph Lubin, SharpLink’s Chairman and co-founder of Ethereum, highlighted that the initiative builds on the company’s earlier role as a pioneer in adopting Ether as a treasury reserve, reinforcing its conviction in Ethereum as the foundation of next-generation financial infrastructure.

Exploring DeFi and Automated Market Makers
Beyond tokenization, SharpLink and Superstate plan to explore how tokenized equities could trade on Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and other DeFi protocols. AMMs use smart contracts and liquidity pools to enable trading without traditional intermediaries. If successful, this could redefine secondary market structures by allowing compliant tokenized securities to circulate seamlessly within DeFi ecosystems. The effort aligns with the SEC’s Project Crypto agenda, which seeks to modernize U.S. securities regulation for blockchain-based markets.

Ethereum Treasury and Strategic Positioning
SharpLink has rapidly established itself as one of the largest corporate holders of Ether, accumulating more than 838,000 ETH since launching its treasury strategy in June 2025. The company has also generated thousands of ETH in staking rewards, further strengthening its balance sheet.

By combining its treasury strategy with tokenized equity issuance, SharpLink is positioning itself at the forefront of blockchain-integrated capital markets, aiming to bridge traditional finance with Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure.

REX-Osprey unveils first Ethereum staking ETF amid cooling investor appetite Oluwapelumi Adejumo · 52 seconds ago · 2 min read

REX-Osprey's ESK fund launch comes as spot Ethereum ETF inflows slow, shifting focus to staking.

2 min read

REX-Osprey has launched the first US exchange-traded fund designed to pair spot Ethereum exposure with staking rewards.

Announced on Sept. 25, the new product trades under the ticker ESK and is registered as a 1940 Act ETF, giving investors access to Ethereum through a familiar regulatory framework.

The ESK fund blends spot ETH holdings with a staking component, distributing rewards from Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system to shareholders on a monthly basis.

Unlike many staking products offered through private agreements or custodians, REX-Osprey emphasized that it does not keep a share of the rewards. Instead, the full proceeds from staking are passed on to investors.

Greg King, chief executive of REX Financial, said:

“With ESK, we’re giving investors access to Ethereum plus staking rewards in the most broad-based US ETF format. This continues our work of introducing crypto staking through the ETF structure.”

This rollout builds on the company’s July launch of the first Solana Staking ETF in the US. That product broke new ground as the first Solana ETF  and the first domestic crypto ETF to include staking-related distributions.

Since then, the fund has grown beyond $300 million in assets under management and shifted into a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) structure to provide tax efficiency while preserving its combined spot-and-staking strategy.

Ethereum ETFs’ inflows coolThe arrival of ESK comes at a time when investor appetite for spot Ethereum ETFs has slowed considerably.

Data from SoSo Value shows that September has brought just $110 million in net inflows across nine US Ethereum spot products, compared with $3.8 billion in August and $5 billion in July. Notably, inflows have occurred on only seven trading days, while outflows have happened in 10 trading sessions this month.

Still, the cumulative flows into the products stand at $13.62 billion, with the funds managing $27.42 billion.

These numbers will significantly improve if the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allows the funds to integrate staking into their products. The financial regulator recently extended the review period for this approval.

Anchorage to expand stablecoin team ahead of USAT launch cryptonews
USAT
Anchorage Digital Bank is ramping up hiring as it prepares to more than double its stablecoin unit. The federally chartered crypto-native bank plans to expand its current 20-person stablecoin team over the next 12 months as demand for crypto dollars explodes in the U.S., and as new federal legislation clears the way for larger stablecoin operations.

Anchorage’s CEO, Nathan McCauley, confirmed the hiring in an interview, tying it directly to new regulations and Anchorage’s role in a major new stablecoin launch with Tether.

Nathan said Anchorage’s license, granted by the federal government, allows it to issue large-scale stablecoins in the U.S. under the Genius Act, which became law in July. This makes Anchorage the legal issuer of USAT, a new stablecoin designed to meet all U.S. regulatory requirements.

The coin will be built in partnership with Tether Holdings SA, the firm behind the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, which currently has a circulation of $169 billion. USAT will use Tether’s tokenization tech, called Hadron, rather than Anchorage’s infrastructure. Cantor Fitzgerald LP will manage the reserves for the new coin. USAT is expected to go live before the end of the year.

Anchorage builds out staff as USAT launch nears
Nathan said the partnership with Tether has been in motion for over a year. Anchorage began discussions with Tether around the same time lawmakers in Washington started drafting the Genius Act. “As Genius was getting drafted and passed, it was pretty clear to many in Washington that in many ways, the whole point of Genius was to think about what to do about Tether,” Nathan said.

The law splits stablecoin oversight between federal and state regulators, based on the size of the coin. Stablecoins with more than $10 billion in circulation must register at the federal level, while smaller ones fall under state rules. USAT aims to cross that $10 billion line, placing it directly under federal supervision and giving Anchorage a rare opportunity to operate on that scale.

The hiring spree isn’t just about headcount. Anchorage’s stablecoin team will handle compliance, legal operations, and business development tied to USAT. Nathan said distribution will start on Rumble Inc., a video-sharing site backed by Tether, but Anchorage is also targeting larger institutions for broader use. The goal is to get USAT circulating quickly and legally across multiple sectors.

Stablecoin use has exploded in recent years. What used to be a niche tool for crypto traders is now pushing toward mainstream payments. DefiLlama shows the total market nearing $300 billion. And Bloomberg Intelligence expects stablecoins to move more than $50 trillion in annual payment volume by 2030. That’s about 17% of all global consumer transactions, up from under 1% today.

Tether is also in talks to raise $20 billion through a private placement, as it seeks a $500 billion valuation, as Cryptopolitan reported.

Crypto firms race to hire amid xAI competition
Anchorage’s expansion is part of a bigger hiring war across crypto, finance, and xAI. Firms are fighting over a limited pool of engineers and legal pros who understand how stablecoins work inside both crypto and banking.

Marieke Flament, a former exec at Circle Internet Group, said she gets hit up three times a week by banks and even government offices asking for stablecoin help. “The talent pool is not really big, because even within the crypto industry there’s not that many people who’ve done stablecoins or worked in traditional finance,” Marieke said.

The scramble has pushed salaries higher. While the pay still lags behind private equity and hedge funds, it now lines up with managing director roles in corporate banking. That’s a big shift in less than two years. Stablecoin jobs used to sit on the fringes of finance. Now they’re locked in as standard roles at major firms.

The xAI boom is making things worse for hiring managers. AI companies are poaching crypto developers by offering token-based bonuses, high salaries, and perks. Firms like Anchorage now face pressure not just from each other, but from every sector trying to scale with blockchain tech.

Everyone wants the same few people, and time is short. If firms want to ride the stablecoin wave, they need staff ready now, not two years from now.

Solana Set to Break 4-Year September Win Streak as Network Activity Slumps cryptonews
SOL
Solana price risks ending its four-year September win streak, dropping 17% since midmonth as bearish sentiment weighs on price action. On-chain data shows a 25% decline in daily active addresses, signaling weaker user engagement and reduced network activity. RSI at 40.54 confirms bearish momentum, with SOL eyeing $195.55 support and potential dips to $171.88 if pressure persists.Solana appears poised to close this month in the red, diverging from a four-year streak of historically positive September performances. 

A broader dip in market sentiment, with key on-chain metrics pointing to declining network activity, could push SOL’s price lower as the month nears its end.

SOL Network Activity Declines, Market Sentiment Turns NegativeSponsored

Over the past four years, September has consistently delivered gains for SOL. In 2021, SOL surged by 29%, followed by a more modest but steady 5.38% rise in 2022. The momentum strengthened in 2023, when the token climbed 8.22%, and continued in 2024 with a solid 12.5% increase.

However, this year appears different, as SOL looks poised to close September at a low, breaking its winning streak.

Solana Historical Monthly Returns. Source: CryptoRank
Despite starting the month strongly, SOL peaked at $253.51 on September 18 but has since fallen roughly 17%, reflecting growing bearish pressure.

This drop is partly attributed to the waning bullish sentiment in the market and primarily due to the weakening user engagement on the Solana network. 

According to Artemis, the total number of daily active addresses interacting with Solana-based protocols has totaled 3.04 million month-to-date, declining by 25%.

Solana Daily Active Addresses. Source: ArtemisSponsored

Daily active addresses represent the number of unique wallets actively sending, receiving, or interacting with on-chain applications. When it falls, it signals weakening user engagement and lower network activity, which can reduce overall demand for the coin.

On the technical side, SOL’s plummeting Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart confirms the falling demand. At press time, this momentum indicator is at 40.54.

Solana RSI. Source: TradingView
The RSI measures an asset’s overbought and oversold conditions, with readings above 70 suggesting overbought conditions and below 30 indicating oversold conditions.

At 40.54, SOL’s RSI is in bearish territory, indicating that selling pressure is outweighing buying momentum. While a capitulation phase may not be imminent, downward momentum could persist if bearish sentiment continues. 

SOL Poised for Red September Close
If the downward trend continues, SOL may close September below its recent highs. In this scenario, its price could fall toward $195.55. If this support fails to hold, the coin’s price could dip further to $171.88.

Solana Price Analysis. Source: TradingView
However, a sudden surge in network activity or a reversal in broader market sentiment could mitigate losses and stabilize the price. With such a catalyst, SOL could rally toward $219.21.

How Bitcoin Traders Are Preparing Ahead of Inflation Data—And What Comes Next cryptonews
BTC
In brief
Bitcoin was trading at $111,336, down 1.8% daily and 5.4% weekly, as investors awaited tomorrow's PCE inflation data release.
Of prediction market users, 61% expect BTC to drop to $105,000 before reaching new highs, with selling pressure between $115,000-$119,000.
Fed rate cut odds stand at 83.4% for next month's meeting, but higher inflation could signal more hawkish policy and pressure crypto markets.
Bitcoin has been hovering above$111,000  a day ahead of new U.S. inflation data that will play a big role in determining whether the Federal Open Markets Committee lowers interest rates for a second time  in 2025.

Three analysts with whom Decrypt spoke differ about how the largest asset by market capitalization might respond. 

Bitcoin was recently changing hands at $111,336, down 1.8% over the past 24 hours and 5.4% since this time last week, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko.

The BTC price malaise has made users of Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company Dastan, doubt that the world’s oldest cryptocurrency will see $125,000 any time soon. As of Thursday morning, 61% of users think BTC will drop to $105,000 before it approaches an all-time high.

“Tomorrow’s PCE print is important because it is the Fed’s inflation gauge, and crypto traders should watch for any deviation from the expected 2.7-2.9% year-over-year reading,” Jake Kennis, a senior research analyst at Nansen, told Decrypt. “Higher-than-expected inflation could signal more hawkish Fed policy and risk-off sentiment that typically pressures crypto markets.”

A cooler-than-expected inflation reading, however, could lead to another interest rate cut,which would likely spring Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market from its recent holding pattern, Kennis added.

Economists have been forecasting that the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ core personal consumption expenditures will arrive on the higher end of that range, at 2.99%, according to recent estimates from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

At the time of writing, investors think there’s an 83.4% chance the Fed will lower interest rates at its FOMC meeting next month, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. That means the odds that the Fed will leave rates unchanged has doubled in the past week, going from 8.1% to 16.6% at the time of writing.

“Interesting that the market seems to be expecting a high number, but digital assets have come under pressure,” John Glover, chief investment officer at Bitcoin lender Ledn, told Decrypt.

Falling sentiment—and prices—in crypto markets has already led to a few big waves of liquidations in the past week.

“It does seem to be a clear out of weak longs,” he said, alluding to the healthy market reset seen in the past week. “But there seems to be a lot of selling pressure between $115,000 and $119,000, so we may be seeing some people taking profits who believe we have reached the end of the bull run.”

Glover added he thinks the PCE print could turn into a “non-event” unless the actual number surprises on either side of forecasts.

Dom Harz, co-founder of Bitcoin DeFi project BOB, told Decrypt the picture for BTC is more encouraging if you zoom out.

“As we come to the end of Q3 2025, Bitcoin’s stability above $110,000 isn’t just a milestone for its price, but the crystallisation of institutional trust in the digital asset,” he said.

PayPal and Spark target $1B liquidity boost for PYUSD cryptonews
PYUSD
homenewsBusinessThe plan is to scale PayPal USD with Spark’s liquidity framework, building sustainable stablecoin markets

share

PayPal and decentralized finance platform Spark have launched a joint initiative to expand liquidity for PayPal USD (PYUSD). Deposits have already surpassed $100 million since the token was added to SparkLend on Sept 25.

The collaboration aims to grow that figure to $1 billion in the coming weeks, offering PayPal a DeFi-native route to scale its stablecoin.

Spark, an institutional-grade asset allocator, operates a Liquidity Layer that deploys more than $8 billion in stablecoin reserves into lending markets. This model replaces the short-lived incentive programs traditionally used to grow stablecoin adoption, instead offering predictable borrowing costs and deep market liquidity.

Phoenix Labs CEO Sam MacPherson said Spark’s framework shows how “DeFi can provide the reliable market foundations that global companies need to bring stablecoins into the mainstream economy.”

PYUSD, which is issued by Paxos Trust Company and backed by US dollar reserves and Treasuries, was launched in 2023 as PayPal’s entry into digital dollars. Its integration with Spark comes as stablecoin supply has surged nearly $30 billion in the past quarter, with daily transaction volumes now exceeding $100 billion.

This is a developing story.

Final Spot XRP And Solana ETF Amendments Expected This Week: Expert cryptonews
SOL XRP
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The US crypto ETF market is bracing for a decisive stretch after the SEC’s approval of “generic listing standards” last week opened a streamlined path for spot XRP and Solana ETFs—alongside products beyond bitcoin and ether. With exchanges now able to list qualifying commodity-based ETPs without a bespoke 19b-4 approval, applicants for spot XRP and Solana funds are rushing to lodge final amendments—filings that several industry participants say are already substantially baked.

Countdown To Launch For Spot XRP And Solana ETFs
On September 24, ETF Store president Nate Geraci signaled the inflection point in a series of posts on X. “Final wave of amendments could be filed by end of this week on various spot crypto ETFs incl xrp & sol,” he wrote, adding that “those filings are pretty far along in the review process” and that the “countdown to launch is on,” citing a Reuters report on the SEC’s new framework.

Here we go…

Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF *approved* under SEC’s new generic listing standards.

Will now be able to own crypto assets beyond btc & eth.

— Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) September 25, 2025

In a separate post, Geraci flagged the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF: “Here we go…Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF *approved* under SEC’s new generic listing standards. Will now be able to own crypto assets beyond btc & eth. Looks like xrp, sol, & xlm.”

Reuters, which first detailed the regulator’s accelerated pathway on Sept. 18 and followed up on Sept. 24, reported that, since the SEC initially floated the rules in July, issuers have “scrambled to update their new product filings and respond to specific comments and questions from the SEC.” A “final wave of amendments could be filed by the end of this week,” three people familiar with the matter told the wire service. “Those filings are pretty far along in the review process,” Bitwise president Teddy Fusaro said. “These are the rules we had been anticipating.”

The rule change is foundational. By blessing generic listing standards at NYSE Arca, Nasdaq and Cboe BZX, the Commission shifted spot-crypto ETF approvals from an adjudicative, proposal-by-proposal slog to a rules-based regime. In the SEC’s own words, exchanges may now list Commodity-Based Trust Shares that meet the criteria “without first submitting a proposed rule change” to the Commission—compressing timelines to roughly 75 days in straightforward cases and removing duplicative reviews that historically bottlenecked non-BTC/ETH products.

For XRP in particular, a compressed and crowded calendar now looms. The SEC’s final deadlines line up across seven days in October: Grayscale on Oct. 18, 21Shares on Oct. 19, Bitwise on Oct. 20, CoinShares and Canary Capital on Oct. 23–24, and WisdomTree on Oct. 24–25.

Solana sits in the same slipstream. According to Galaxy Digital Research, Solana is the leading candidate for the first-wave approvals under the generic regime, reflecting the maturity of filings and the exchanges’ preparedness to list them. Issuers including Bitwise and 21Shares have spent the summer revising staking, custody and in-kind transfer language to fit within the exchanges’ rulebooks and the SEC’s evolving expectations.

At press time, XRP traded at $2.84.

Cardano at a Crossroads: Can ADA Still Explode 25%? cryptonews
ADA
TL;DR

One famous analyst highlighted $0.80 as a crucial support level that ADA must hold.
Another market observer predicts a bounce starting mid-October that could drive the asset to a new all-time high by Christmas.

Did ADA Lose Its Chance?
It has been just over a month since Cardano’s ADA surged above $1. Since then, though, it has been on an evident decline which has even worsened in the past few days. As of this writing, the asset trades at around $0.78, representing a 15% plunge on a weekly scale.

According to renowned analyst Ali Martinez, the drop below $0.80 could prove critical, potentially preventing the price from rebounding by roughly 25% to $0.95.

Earlier this month, he revealed that large investors (known as whales) have offloaded 160 million tokens in the span of just 96 hours. This adds more weight to the bearish view, as it signals diminished confidence in the asset from these market participants, which could also reflect on smaller players. In addition, such actions increase ADA’s circulating supply, potentially triggering a price decline if demand does not increase. 

The lesser-known market observer, using the X moniker Man of Bitcoin, also outlined a bearish forecast. He believes the dip below $0.782 could be followed by an additional plunge to as low as $0.731.

ATH for Christmas?
The X user Sssebi recently agreed with the assumption that ADA can continue nosediving in the short term. However, the analyst thinks the downtrend will last only until next month and after that will be replaced by a resurgence, which could take the price to a new historical record by Christmas this year:

“Bigger drop until October and then bounce back mid-October-November. Possible new ATH at Christmas time.”

Bulls should also examine ADA’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has recently plummeted to approximately 30. Readings around and below that level indicate that the asset’s price has declined too rapidly over a short period, suggesting it may be on the verge of a revival. On the contrary, anything above 70 is considered bearish territory.

Circle Mulls Reversible USDC Stablecoin Transactions in Push for TradFi Adoption cryptonews
USDC
In brief
A Circle executive said the company is considering whether to enable reversible USDC transactions.
The move would potentially boost the usefulness of stablecoins by traditional finance players.
However, it also goes against the crypto ethos of immutability.
Publicly traded stablecoin issuer Circle is exploring the possibility of reversible transactions involving its dollar-backed stablecoin, USDC, according to a report from the Financial Times. 

The firm’s considerations would stray from the concept of immutablity—one of blockchain’s foundational premises that does not allow for finalized transactions to be modified—but potentially catalyze the intertwinement of stablecoins within traditional finance. 

“We are thinking through… whether or not there’s the possibility of reversibility of transactions, right—but at the same time, we want settlement finality,” Circle President Heath Tarber told the publication. 

Tarber, who previously served as the chair and chief executive for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said that while some people believe blockchain is superior to current financial systems, “There are some benefits of the current system that aren’t necessarily currently present.”

As it stands today, Circle and other stablecoin issuers can freeze assets or blacklist addresses from engaging with their fiat-backed stablecoins—but they cannot undo or reverse a transaction once it's reached finality.

For example, in May the firm froze $58 million in USDC tied to the Libra token scandal on Solana, rendering it unusable and untransferrable in the process. Hayden Davis and Ben Chow, who helped launch LIBRA, regained access to their funds in August via a court order.

According to Tarber, developers are reportedly discussing whether—in “certain circumstances” with agreeable parties—transactions could be reversed or refunded due to fraud on “certain blockchains.”

However, the Circle executive backed away from this being a possible function on Arc, the upcoming layer-1 blockchain being developed by the firm. Instead, he said, it would need to be a layer added on top of the Arc network. 

Circle first announced Arc in August, highlighting its stablecoin-focused build that will use USDC as a native gas token for transaction fees, as well as offer sub-second finality and opt-in privacy features.

Circle, which completed its massively successful IPO earlier this year, expects Arc to hit public testnet this fall. Shares of CRCL are down nearly 2% today, now changing hands above $129. 

The firm’s dollar-pegged USDC stablecoin maintains the 7th-largest market cap among crypto assets at more than $74 billion, according to CoinGecko.

A representative for Circle did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

SharpLink Tokenizes SBET Shares on Ethereum, Breaking TradFi Boundaries cryptonews
ETH
TLDR:

SharpLink becomes first public company to natively issue tokenized equity shares directly on Ethereum blockchain
Partnership with Superstate enables SBET shareholders to hold shares in self-custodied wallets using Opening Bell platform
Company holds over 838,000 ETH making it one of world’s largest corporate Ethereum holders with strategic treasury
Tokenized shares remain SEC-compliant while exploring future trading on decentralized finance protocols and AMMs

SharpLink Gaming has announced plans to tokenize its common stock directly on the Ethereum network. 

The company will partner with financial technology firm Superstate to make this vision reality. This marks the first time a publicly traded company has taken such a direct approach to blockchain equity. 

SharpLink’s decision reflects its deep commitment to Ethereum infrastructure. The gaming company already holds more than 838,000 ETH in its corporate treasury. This substantial holding makes SharpLink one of the world’s largest corporate Ethereum investors. 

The tokenization initiative builds on this foundation while pushing boundaries in capital markets innovation. Shareholders will soon be able to hold SBET shares natively on the blockchain.

Ethereum Tokenization Platform Opens New Possibilities
Superstate’s Opening Bell platform will handle the technical implementation of SharpLink’s tokenization process. The regulated platform allows companies to convert SEC-registered equity into blockchain-based tokens. 

These tokenized shares maintain full legal compliance with traditional securities regulations. However, they offer enhanced functionality that traditional book-entry shares cannot provide.

Tokenized SBET shares can be stored in self-custodied wallets, giving investors direct control over their holdings. The technology also enables integration with various digital financial products and services. 

Global investor segments may gain easier access to these tokenized securities. This approach could democratize investment opportunities across international borders.

The partnership goes beyond simple tokenization. SharpLink and Superstate plan to explore how tokenized equities might eventually trade on automated market makers. These DeFi protocols could provide continuous liquidity and improved market efficiency. 

Current regulations require careful navigation of compliance requirements. The collaboration aims to demonstrate how traditional securities can operate within decentralized finance frameworks.

Robert Leshner, Superstate’s CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the historic partnership. He noted SharpLink’s position as an important Ethereum-aligned company makes them ideal for this milestone. The collaboration could establish precedents for how other public companies approach blockchain integration.

NEW: SharpLink is partnering with Superstate to issue tokenized $SBET shares directly on the Ethereum blockchain.

SharpLink will become the first public company to do so.

Together, we’ll work to advance how tokenized public equities can one day trade on Automated Market Makers… pic.twitter.com/gZS7w68VKf

SharpLink’s Crypto Treasury Strategy Powers Blockchain Vision
SharpLink’s tokenization announcement builds on its existing cryptocurrency strategy. 

The company launched its ETH treasury initiative in June 2025 after appointing Joseph Lubin as Chairman. Lubin’s background as Consensys founder and Ethereum co-founder brought significant blockchain expertise. This leadership change aligned with SharpLink’s transformation into a digital asset treasury company.

Since implementing its ETH accumulation strategy, SharpLink has generated substantial returns. 

The company earned 3,815 ETH through native and liquid staking rewards as of September 2025. These earnings demonstrate the potential benefits of corporate cryptocurrency adoption. SharpLink’s treasury strategy validates Ethereum’s utility beyond speculative investment.

Co-CEO Joseph Chalom emphasized the strategic importance of this tokenization move. He described it as more than a technological achievement, calling it a statement about capital markets’ future. 

The initiative aligns with SharpLink’s dual mission of building a trusted digital asset treasury and accelerating ETH adoption. This approach positions the company at the forefront of financial innovation.

Capital Group Emerges as Metaplanet's Largest Shareholder Amid $500M Bitcoin Bet cryptonews
BTC
TL;DR

Capital Group has become the largest shareholder of Japan’s Metaplanet with an 11.45% stake worth nearly $500 million, solidifying its indirect exposure to Bitcoin.
Metaplanet now holds over 25,500 BTC, ranking as the fifth-largest corporate holder globally, trailing only giants like MicroStrategy.
The Tokyo-listed firm’s ambitious treasury plan and bold capital-raising strategies have positioned it as a trailblazer for corporate Bitcoin adoption across Asia.

Capital Group’s entry as Metaplanet’s top shareholder marks a new chapter for both firms. The $2.6 trillion asset manager, long regarded for its conservative approach, now indirectly holds significant Bitcoin exposure through this Japanese corporation. The move reflects a broader institutional trend of seeking equity-based pathways into digital assets without the complexities of direct coin custody.

Founded in 1931, Capital Group has been a cornerstone of traditional finance, managing American Funds and serving global institutional investors. Under portfolio manager Mark Casey, the firm has steadily expanded into crypto-related investments, growing from $1 billion to over $6 billion in just a few years. By surpassing National Financial Services to become Metaplanet’s largest investor, Capital Group has underscored its confidence in Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

Wall Street Giant Deepens Crypto Exposure
Metaplanet, once a struggling hotel operator, has reinvented itself as Asia’s most aggressive Bitcoin treasury company under CEO Simon Gerovich. The firm boosted its holdings from 4,525 BTC in April to 25,555 BTC today, worth about $2.71 billion. Its bold “555 Million Plan” seeks to accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027, a target representing 1% of Bitcoin’s capped supply.

The company’s transformation has been dramatic. In 2024, its stock became the best performer among Japan’s 55,000 listed firms, fueled by a 395% yield on Bitcoin. Yet volatility remains. Shares have fallen 54% since June despite Bitcoin’s slight rise, raising questions about the sustainability of its financing structure. Still, its Bitcoin options trading business generated strong Q2 profits, helping offset treasury risks.

Traditional Finance Aligns With Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries
Capital Group’s move reflects growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a strategic corporate asset. Over 190 listed companies worldwide now hold BTC, with combined reserves surpassing $115 billion. Japan’s pending tax reforms, which may lower corporate crypto capital gains from 55% to 20%, are expected to accelerate this trend further.

Metaplanet’s pivot from hospitality to digital assets has become a model for emerging markets. Its international profile continues to expand through partnerships and high-profile endorsements, including Eric Trump joining its advisory board earlier this year. For Capital Group, the investment provides a calculated balance of innovation and caution, positioning it to benefit from Bitcoin’s long-term adoption while minimizing operational complexities tied to direct holdings.

DOW
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClaimsFiler, a FREE shareholder information service, reminds investors that they have until October 28, 2025 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW), if they purchased the Company’s securities between January 30, 2025 and July 23, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Dow investors should visit us at https://claimsfiler.com/cases/nyse-dow-1/ or call toll-free (844) 367-9658. Lawyers at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are available to discuss your legal options.

About the Lawsuit

Dow and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On July 24, 2025, the Company disclosed a 2Q 2025 non-GAAP loss per share of $0.42, much larger than the approximate $0.17 to $0.18 per share loss expected by analysts, and net sales of $10.1 billion, representing a 7.3% year-over-year decline and missing consensus estimates by $130 million, “reflecting declines in all operating segments” due in part to “the lower-for-longer earnings environment that our industry is facing, amplified by recent trade and tariff uncertainties.” Further, the Company disclosed that it was cutting its dividend in half, from $0.70 per share to only $0.35 per share, citing the need for “financial flexibility amidst a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment.”

On this news, the price of Dow’s shares fell $5.30 per share, or 17.45%, to close at $25.07 per share on July 24, 2025.  

The case is Sarti v. Dow Inc., No. 25-cv-12744.

The Hunt for AI Gains Is Lifting Chinese Stocks. Here's What You Need to Know. stocknewsapi
PGJ
Key Takeaways
Foreign investors are giving China-based company stocks a boost amid growing conviction regarding the country's AI capabilities."If you were not early in the U.S., perhaps there's another way to play this growing AI theme," says Rene Rayna, head of thematic and specialty product strategy at Invesco.

As the U.S. wrestles China for AI dominance, investors are playing both sides.

Chinese stocks have seen a big boost this quarter, extending year-to-date returns amid improving sentiment around the U.S.-China trade talks and higher conviction arounds its capabilities in artificial intelligence. The Shanghai Composite and CSI 300 are up 18% and 20% year-to-date, compared to 13% for the S&P 500, the U.S. benchmark.

Much of the action in China has been driven by Chinese money, but foreign investors are also buying in. Invesco's Golden Dragon ETF (PGJ), which tracks an index of U.S. exchange-listed shares of China-based companies, is up more than 29%, while the Invesco China Technology ETF (CQQQ) is up more than 51% over the same period. Global hedge funds in August logged their strongest month of investment in Chinese companies in six months, according to Morgan Stanley.

Some of the demand may have been driven by investors seeking out ways to play the AI theme at comparatively low prices. The MSCI China Index traded at 12 times projected earnings, compared to the S&P 500's 23 through the end of August.

Why This Matters to Investors
The AI trade remains a powerful driver of gains for U.S. investors, and much of that has meant rising shares of American companies such as Nvidia. But the recent surge in Chinese shares has lured investors to reach across borders for thematic plays in markets where valuations can seem relatively attractive.

"If you were not early in the U.S., perhaps there's another way to play this growing AI theme in an area where, from a valuation perspective, they look a little bit more attractive," said Rene Reyna, head of thematic and specialty product strategy at Invesco, in an interview with Investopedia.

The degree of the effect Chinese competition could have in the AI race was illustrated in January when a startup called DeepSeek unveiled a model that appeared to rival OpenAI's and Google's (GOOGL). The news sank domestic AI stocks.

AI plays in the U.S. have since bounced back, but Chinese conglomerates including Alibaba (BABA) and Baidu (BIDU) have leapfrogged them as they revealed in-house development of AI chips and ramped up related spending plans. The ADRs of Alibaba and Baidu have run up more than 100% and 60% so far this year, respectively, compared to Nvidia's 26% gain and Microsoft's (MSFT) 21%.

China's ban on Nvidia chips has fueled concerns that the U.S. had underestimated the country's capabilities and overestimated the efficacy of blocks put in place to keep U.S. tech from reaching its shores. Whether China is "posturing" or means it when they effectively say "We don't need you" to U.S. tech suppliers remains an outstanding question, Reyna said. (That said, Alibaba recently announced a partnership with Nvidia to build out its AI capabilities.)

Appaloosa Management, the hedge fund run by David Tepper, has trimmed its China stock holdings since late 2024 when the veteran investor said it was time to "buy everything" there; the firm has existing positions in Alibaba, JD.com (JD), PD Holdings (PDD), and Baidu, according to a regulatory filing.

Tepper in an interview with CNBC last week said that while market valuations make it difficult to make stock recommendations without caveats, "you've had movement in that market because people are realizing you have the same sort of AI things there" as in the U.S.

Why AIR Stock Deserves a Spot in Your Portfolio Right Now stocknewsapi
AIR
Key Takeaways AAR's current ratio of 2.91 tops the industry's 1.83, showing strong short-term liquidity.The company's ROE of 12.29% exceeds the industry average, reflecting efficient capital use.Facility expansions are set to lift AAR's MRO capacity by 15% and add $60M in annual revenues.
AAR Corp.’s (AIR - Free Report) solid foothold in the aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) market, along with robust ROE and better debt management, serves as a key growth driver for the company. Given its growth prospects, AIR makes for a solid investment option in the Zacks Aerospace Defense Equipment industry.

Let’s focus on the factors that make this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company a strong investment pick at the moment.

AIR’s Growth Outlook & Surprise HistoryThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for AAR’s fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $4.43, which implies a year-over-year rise of 13.3%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AAR’s total revenues for fiscal 2026 stands at $2.87 billion, which indicates year-over-year growth of 3.4%.

The company surpassed expectations in the last four reported quarters and delivered an average earnings surprise of 9.44%.

AIR’s Return on EquityReturn on equity (ROE) measures how effectively a company has used its funds to generate higher returns. AAR currently has an ROE of 12.29% compared to the industry's average of 9.31%. This suggests that the company has been utilizing its funds more effectively than its peers in the industry.

Liquidity Position of AARAAR Corp’s current ratio at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 2.91, higher than the industry’s average of 1.83. The ratio, being greater than one, indicates AAR’s ability to meet its future short-term liabilities without difficulties.

AIR Expands Presence in MRO MarketAAR stands as North America’s largest independent maintenance, repair and overhaul provider, with six certified hangars located across the United States and Canada.

In June 2025, Delta TechOps opted for AAR’s aviation maintenance software subsidiary, Trax, to upgrade its legacy maintenance and engineering systems with Trax’s eMRO and eMobility solutions. Previously, in April, Amerijet International Airlines partnered with Trax to improve its maintenance processes and drive its digital transformation initiatives.

To further strengthen its MRO capabilities, the company is presently undertaking airframe MRO facility expansions at its Oklahoma City and Miami hangars. Once operational next year, these expansions are expected to increase AAR’s MRO network capacity by 15% and add nearly $60 million to the company’s annual revenues.

These efforts boost AIR’s worldwide MRO capabilities, broaden its service portfolio and reinforce its regional footprint.

Overview of AAR’s Debt ProfileCurrently, AAR’s total debt to capital is 44.41%, better than the industry’s average of 49.30%.

AIR’s times interest earned ratio (TIE) at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 1.8. The TIE ratio of more than 1 indicates that the company will be able to meet its interest payment obligations in the near term without any problems.

AIR Stock Price PerformanceIn the past three months, AAR shares have rallied 19.1% compared with the industry’s growth of 2.1%.

Enbridge Has C$32B in Secured Projects: Incremental Cash Flow Awaits stocknewsapi
ENB
Key Takeaways Enbridge has C$32B in secured projects across pipelines, gas, renewables and storage.These projects aim to generate additional cash flows supporting dividend payments.ENB stock is up 30.2% in a year, outpacing the industry's 28.7% improvement.
Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) is a leading midstream energy player that generates stable fee-based revenues. Due to the very nature of the business model, the company is not vulnerable to the volatility in oil and natural gas prices.

ENB is also well-positioned to generate incremental cash flows for shareholders. This fact is getting reflected in the midstream giant’s C$32 billion in secured capital projects. This includes projects related to liquid pipelines, gas transmissions, renewables and gas distribution & storage.

Once the projects come online, ENB will generate additional cash flows to support shareholders’ dividend payments. In fact, Enbridge has been rewarding shareholders with dividend hikes for 30 consecutive years.

EPD & WMB Also Boast Stable Cash FlowsEnterprise Products Partners LP (EPD - Free Report) and Williams (WMB - Free Report) are also midstream energy giants like ENB.

EPD has more than 50,000 miles of pipeline network transporting oil, gas, refined products and other commodities. EPD also has a liquid storage facility of more than 300,000 barrels. Thus, from the assets, the partnership generates stable fees, thereby generating stable cash flows for unitholders. 

Williams is also a leading midstream energy player and is well-positioned to capitalize on clean energy demand. This is because, with its pipeline network spanning 33,000 miles, WMB is responsible for the transportation of significant natural gas volumes produced in the United States. Thus, WMB also generates stable cash flows for shareholders.

ENB’s Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of ENB have jumped 30.2% over the past year compared with the 28.7% improvement of the composite stocks belonging to the industry.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

From a valuation standpoint, ENB trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) of 15.81X. This is above the broader industry average of 14.26X.

Econ Data Surprisingly Good: Jobless Claims, Q2 GDP, Durable Goods & More stocknewsapi
COST DIA GDP QQQ SPY
Thursday, September 25, 2025

Pre-market futures are still swimming in the red at this hour, even with a large amount of economic data hitting the tape better than expected. Market indexes are moving fairly rapidly, but currently we’re -70 points on the Dow, -28 on the S&P 500 and -145 points on the Nasdaq. Bond yields are ticking higher, notably on the 2-year: +3.66%; the 10-year is approaching +4.19%.

Q2 GDP Revised Up Half a Percentage Point
In a very unusual move this morning, the third and final revision to Q2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP), instead of remaining where the second revision was or moving incrementally higher or lower, blossomed from +3.3% to +3.8% — half a percentage point. It now registers as the strongest quarter of growth since Q3 2023.

The biggest jump came from Consumption: last posted at +1.6%, it now jumps to +2.5%. The Price Index ticked up 10 basis points (bps) on both headline, +2.1%, and core: +2.6%. Shipments remained relatively chilly at -0.3%. We’ll take this as an increased appetite for the U.S. consumer, but not shared among our trading partners.

Weekly Jobless Claims Stay Well-Behaved
Some of the most consistently positive economic numbers for the majority of this year come from Weekly Jobless Claims, and so it remains today. Initial Jobless Claims slid to their lowest level since mid-summer: 218K, down -17K from estimates and -14K from a modestly revised 232K the previous week, and a whopping -64K claims lower than two weeks ago.

Continuing Claims rose from the prior week’s tally — 1.926 million from an upwardly revised 1.928 million the week before that. Continuing jobless claims are reported a week in arrears from new claims. But this is now the third-straight week longer-term jobless claims have been below 1.94 million, where it spent the previous 12 weeks.

Durable Goods Orders Stronger than Expected
August Durable Goods Orders swung to a positive +2.9% from the prior month’s slightly upwardly revised -2.7% and the consensus estimate of -0.5%. Subtracting Transportation orders, this comes back to a more closely aligned-with-estimates +0.4%, down from the prior month’s revised +1.0%. Non-defense, ex-aircraft orders came in at +0.6%, down 20 bps from the downwardly revised +0.8% in the last go-around.

Trade, Retail & Wholesale Numbers Come in Lower
The Advanced U.S. Trade Balance for August came in lower than the prior month, as expected: -$85.5 billion, an improvement from the revised -$102.8 billion. Advanced Retail Inventories, also for August, was unched from an expected +0.2%, matching lows not seen since April. Advanced Wholesale Inventories swung to -0.2% from an original +0.2% reported.

What to Expect from the Stock Market Today
Existing Home Sales for August are expected at 10 am ET today. Forecasts are for 3.96 million seasonally adjusted, annualized units, down from the 4.01 million reported for July. However, New Home Sales vastly outperformed expectations yesterday — 800K from 649K anticipated — so perhaps we’ll see something similarly outsized in this metric, as well.

Warehouse club giant Costco (COST - Free Report) reports fiscal Q4 results after today’s closing bell. The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold)-rated stock is expected to have grown +12.8% on earnings year over year and +8.1% on revenues. Costco has outperformed earnings expectations in three of its past four quarters.

Tiziana Life Sciences stock higher on inflammatory therapy plans stocknewsapi
TLSA
Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:TLSA) shares rose more than 10% in late morning trading on Thursday after the biotech company said it plans to advance development of TZLS-501, an antibody that blocks a key inflammatory pathway. 

Tiziana noted that the therapy targets the interleukin-6 receptor, or IL-6R. 

This means it has the potential to treat a wide range of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lung damage linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. 

The company licensed the drug from Swiss group Novimmune in 2017. 

“Novartis’s recent acquisition of Tourmaline demonstrates how IL-6 therapy is increasingly valued in treating systemic inflammation and related diseases,” Tiziana Life Sciences CEO Ivor Elrifi said in a statement.   

IL-6 drugs are already an established category: Roche’s Actemra, an IL-6 receptor blocker, was widely used during the Covid-19 pandemic to treat severe cases of respiratory distress. 

But Tiziana believes its dual mechanism, addressing both receptor signalling and circulating IL-6, could set TZLS-501 apart from existing therapies.

Flow Traders 3Q 2025 Pre-Close Call

Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Flow Traders Ltd. (Euronext: FLOW) publishes the 3Q 2025 pre-close call script to be used with analysts post the market close on 25 September 2025.

Welcome to the Flow Traders 3Q 2025 pre-close call, which is being conducted post the European market close on 25 September. During this call I will highlight relevant publicly available data and industry trends in our markets as well as previously published data by Flow Traders and relate these data points to their impact on our business for the quarter. The silent period for the third quarter begins on 1 October and we will publish our 3Q 2025 results on 30 October at 07:30 CET.

Market Environment

Market trading volumes and volatility in the third quarter across most asset classes and regions were relatively flat to slightly higher year-on-year but meaningfully lower quarter-on-quarter. In Equity, market trading volumes and volatility in the quarter were flat to slightly up across most regions when compared to the same period a year ago but declined meaningfully when compared to the second quarter. Within Fixed Income, market trading volumes also saw flat to slight increases when compared to the same period a year ago but meaningful declines compared to the second quarter, with volatility levels declining meaningfully both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. In Digital Assets, trading volumes increased compared to the same period a year ago as well as compared to the second quarter. However, volatility declined meaningfully both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

Diving deeper into each of the asset classes and regions:

Equity

In Equity, European exchange operators Euronext, Deutsche Börse and the London Stock Exchange saw flat to slightly higher trading volumes in the third quarter when compared to the same period a year ago, but meaningful declines when compared to the second quarter. Similarly, average volatility was relatively flat year-on-year but declined meaningfully quarter-on-quarter.

In the Americas, volumes on both the Nasdaq and NYSE also increased year-on-year but declined quarter-on-quarter. Average volatility declined both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

In APAC, volume trends were mixed as the Hong Kong and Shanghai Stock Exchange saw increases both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, while the Tokyo Stock Exchange saw declines both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. Average volatility in Hong Kong and Tokyo declined both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, with the opposite in Shanghai.

FICC

In Fixed Income, market trading volumes were similar to Equity with flat to slight increases in the quarter across most products on Tradeweb and MarketAxess when compared to the same period a year ago, but meaningful declines when compared to the second quarter. Average volatility was relatively flat year-on-year but decreased meaningfully quarter-on-quarter.

Within Digital Assets, trading volumes in Bitcoin, the barometer of the industry, increased both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. However, Bitcoin volatility declined meaningfully both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

ETP Market Volumes

As per Flow Traders’ previously published August ETP Market Statistics, quarter-to-date, On and Off Exchange Value Traded was up 9% year-on-year in EMEA, up 23% in the Americas, up 125% in APAC, and up 36% globally. Average volatility, as indicated by the VIX, was down 4% quarter-to-date compared to the same period a year ago.

When compared to the second quarter, quarter-to-date, On and Off Exchange Value Traded was down 27% year-on-year in EMEA, down 14% in the Americas, up 48% in APAC, and down 6% globally. Average volatility declined by 39%.

Impact on Flow Traders

Coming to Flow Traders’ third quarter performance, the decline in market trading volumes and volatility in the quarter significantly impacted NTI negatively across all regions when compared to both the same period a year ago as well as the second quarter. On the cost front, Fixed Operating Expenses in the quarter were in-line with our previous guidance.

Key Takeaways
Major U.S. equities indexes lost ground in recent trading, in the third straight day of losses. CarMax shares tumbled after the used car retailer posted earnings that missed estimates.Intel shares surged following a report it's seeking an investment from Apple.

Major U.S. equities indexes lost ground in recent trading, in the third straight day of losses as investors digested several economic indicators. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq were all lower.

CarMax (KMX) was the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 after the biggest used car retailer posted weaker-than-expected results. Vehicle sales fell and CEO Bill Nash called the quarter “challenging.”

Oracle (ORCL) shares also declined after Rothschild Redburn analysts initiated coverage with a “sell” rating, saying the market is overestimating the cloud software company’s revenue outlook. 

Shares of Intel (INTC) surged following a report the chipmaker is looking for an investment from iPhone maker Apple (AAPL). Apple shares ticked slightly higher.

IBM (IBM) shares gained after financial partner HSBC (HSBC) said the two have shown evidence that quantum computing can improve predictability of bond trading outcomes. U.S.-listed shares of HSBC fell.

Lithium Americas (LAC) shares added to yesterday’s jump on indications the Trump administration is looking to take a stake in the lithium miner. 

Oil and gold futures slid. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was up. The U.S. dollar increased versus the euro, pound, and yen. Prices for most major cryptocurrencies were lower.

SELECTQUOTE SHAREHOLDER ALERT: CLAIMSFILER REMINDS INVESTORS WITH LOSSES IN EXCESS OF $100,000 of Lead Plaintiff Deadline in Class Action Lawsuits Against SelectQuote, Inc. - SLQT stocknewsapi
SLQT
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClaimsFiler, a FREE shareholder information service, reminds investors that they have until October 10, 2025 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against SelectQuote, Inc. (“SelectQuote” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SLQT), if they purchased the Company’s securities between September 9, 2020 and May 1, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

SelectQuote investors should visit us at https://claimsfiler.com/cases/nyse-slqt-1/ or call toll-free (844) 367-9658. Lawyers at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are available to discuss your legal options.

About the Lawsuit

SelectQuote and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On May 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a False Claims Act complaint against the Company, alleging that, “[f]rom 2016 through at least 2021” it had received “tens of millions of dollars” in “illegal kickbacks” from health insurance companies in exchange for steering Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in the insurers’ plans, and that, in exchange for kickbacks, the Company engaged in a conspiracy with major insurers to illegally discriminate against beneficiaries deemed to be less profitable, including those with disabilities. The DOJ further alleged that the Company made materially false claims by stating it offers “unbiased coverage comparisons” when in fact it “repeatedly directed Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that paid them the most money, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers’ plans.”

On this news, the price of SelectQuote’s shares fell $0.61, or 19.2%, to close at $2.56 per share on May 1, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.  

The case is Pahlkotter v. SelectQuote, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-06620.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD), a leading American manufacturer and maker of Michelob ULTRA, Busch Light, Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois, and Cutwater Spirits, today announced a new $7.4 million investment in its Los Angeles, CA Brewery. The investment will go toward upgrading brewing and packaging equipment to fuel increased production of Michelob ULTRA, America's #1 top-selling and fastest-growing beer.  

Anheuser-Busch Invests $7.4M in LA Brewery

This latest $7.4 million investment in its Los Angeles Brewery is part of Anheuser-Busch's ongoing Brewing Futures initiative, through which the company is investing more than $300 million in its U.S. facilities to create and sustain U.S. manufacturing jobs.  

Brendan Whitworth, CEO, Anheuser-Busch, said: "Investing in our Los Angeles Brewery enables us to brew and deliver more of the highest-quality beers and beyond that consumers love – including Michelob ULTRA, the #1 top-selling and fastest-growing beer in America. Investments like this one strengthen our position as a leading American manufacturer, allowing us to continue driving economic growth and creating and sustaining jobs in the communities where we operate." 

Anheuser-Busch opened its Los Angeles Brewery in 1954. The company has invested $180 million in the brewery over the past five years, part of the nearly $2 billion it has invested in its 100 U.S. facilities over the past five years.  

Caroline Menjivar, California State Senator - 20th District, said: "Since opening its doors over 70 years ago in Van Nuys, Anheuser-Busch has played a foundational and generational role in economic growth, employment, and business innovation for the district and constituents I now represent in the San Fernando Valley. This new $7.4 million investment will only further contribute to the success of our community, keeping jobs in Senate District 20 at a time when so many are commuting far for good paying jobs. I am grateful to Anheuser-Busch for their continued partnership with the people of San Fernando Valley." 

Anheuser-Busch makes 45 different high-quality products at its Los Angeles Brewery, which are then shipped across the country to 26 U.S. states. This investment will expand the brewery's capacity to produce fast-growing brands like Michelob ULTRA, including producing 25-oz cans and 15-pack slim cans to meet growing consumer demand. Single-serve cans are the #1 share gaining pack-size in beer this year (Nielsen IQ All Off-Premise Outlets Total US YTD w.e 8/16/25), with Michelob Ultra growing 7.2% in volume year-to-date. (Circana MULC YTD w.e. 8/31/25).  

For over 20 years, Michelob ULTRA has been synonymous with championing an active lifestyle. Through investments like this one in Los Angeles, which purchases more Michelob ULTRA than any other city in the U.S. (Circana MULC YTD Volume w.e. 9/14/25), Anheuser-Busch is committed to fueling the brand's momentum and supporting increasing consumer demand. Michelob ULTRA is also the official beer sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games – major global sporting events coming to Los Angeles. 

Building on more than 165 years of continuous investment in its people, breweries, and communities, Anheuser-Busch's Brewing Futures initiative supports American manufacturing through three key pillars:  

1) creating and sustaining manufacturing jobs  
2) advancing technical skills training
3) strengthening manufacturing career opportunities for veterans.

Is Marubeni (MARUY) a Great Value Stock Right Now? stocknewsapi
MARUY
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Considering these trends, value investing is clearly one of the most preferred ways to find strong stocks in any type of market. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.

Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.

One company to watch right now is Marubeni (MARUY - Free Report) . MARUY is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 10.93, while its industry has an average P/E of 16.25. Over the last 12 months, MARUY's Forward P/E has been as high as 11.91 and as low as 7.26, with a median of 8.39.

Investors will also notice that MARUY has a PEG ratio of 1.75. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. MARUY's industry has an average PEG of 1.89 right now. Over the last 12 months, MARUY's PEG has been as high as 3.57 and as low as 1.11, with a median of 2.22.

Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. MARUY has a P/S ratio of 0.77. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.54.

Finally, we should also recognize that MARUY has a P/CF ratio of 8.48. This data point considers a firm's operating cash flow and is frequently used to find companies that are undervalued when considering their solid cash outlook. This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 16.45. Over the past year, MARUY's P/CF has been as high as 8.48 and as low as 4.91, with a median of 6.19.

These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Marubeni is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, MARUY feels like a great value stock at the moment.

Can ROKU's Advertising Innovations Fuel Sustained Platform Momentum? stocknewsapi
ROKU
Key Takeaways Roku's ad-focused strategy drove Q2 2025 platform revenues up 18% to $975M.Self-service Ads Manager with Shopify integration expands direct-to-consumer reach.The Roku Channel's 80% viewing-hour growth supports greater ad scale and engagement.
Roku's (ROKU - Free Report) strategic pivot toward advertising innovation is poised to reshape its position in the connected television landscape. By pairing its self-service Roku Ads Manager with deeper integrations across major demand-side platforms, the company is expected to build an ecosystem that broadens its addressable market while strengthening monetisation capabilities. This transformation has lifted platform revenues by 18% year over year to $975 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Roku Ads Manager is designed to drive long-term expansion by targeting performance advertising budgets historically dominated by social media and search. The self-service tool allows small and medium-sized businesses to launch professional video ads within minutes. Features such as Shopify integration and shoppable overlays are expected to attract more direct-to-consumer advertisers, positioning Roku to capture spend migrating from traditional digital channels.

Enhanced integrations with major Demand-Side Platforms (DSP), including Amazon and The Trade Desk, are expected to drive stronger bid density and fill rates across Roku’s advertising inventory. These partnerships are likely to leverage the company’s authenticated base of over 90 million logged-in households to deliver precise targeting capabilities and support flexible pricing across advertiser segments and inventory types. The Roku Channel’s 80% viewing-hour growth is expected to provide the content foundation for greater advertising scale, while its 5.4% share of all U.S. TV streaming time (per Nielsen’s The Gauge) highlights market penetration that should enhance Roku’s advertising value proposition going forward.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2025 Platform revenues is currently pegged at $1.04 billion, indicating 16% year-over-year growth. Backed by advertising innovation that is opening new demand channels and deepening engagement, Roku is expected to sustain platform growth and secure a durable share in the connected TV advertising market.

ROKU Faces Competition in Connected TV AdvertisingRoku faces stiff competition from Disney (DIS - Free Report) and Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) , both of which are accelerating their advertising strategies to capture connected TV budgets. Disney is expected to scale its Hulu and Disney+ ad tiers, leveraging blockbuster content to attract premium advertisers. Netflix is rapidly building out its ad-supported offering, drawing strong interest from brands seeking global reach and high engagement. While Disney and Netflix intensify pressure in the market, Roku’s integrated ad platform, self-service tools and authenticated user base are projected to help sustain platform momentum.

ROKU’s Share Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesROKU shares have jumped 32.1% year to date compared with the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry’s growth of 32.7% and the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector’s return of 10.4%.

Is MasTec's Communications Boom a Long-Term Catalyst for MTZ Stock? stocknewsapi
MTZ
Key Takeaways MTZ's Communications unit grew revenue 42% with 55% EBITDA growth and rising margins in Q2 2025.A $5B backlog and strong telecom demand position MasTec for sustained multi-year Communications growth.MTZ added 4,000 workers in Q2 to meet demand, lifting 2025 EPS growth guidance to roughly 60%.
MasTec, Inc. (MTZ - Free Report) delivered an impressive second-quarter 2025, fueled in large part by explosive growth in its Communications segment. Revenue in the unit surged 42% year over year, with adjusted EBITDA climbing 55% and margins improving by 90 basis points. The segment’s backlog swelled to a record $5 billion (up 13% year over year), underscoring the durability of demand in both wireless and wireline markets.

The secular drivers behind this expansion are hard to ignore. Telecom giants like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have laid out aggressive fiber build-out targets, aiming to double passings by 2028–2030. At the same time, hyperscaler capital expenditures for AI-driven data centers are creating additional fiber demand. MasTec, with its nationwide footprint and diversified customer base, appears well-positioned to capture an outsized share of these multi-year investments.

Importantly, management has scaled up its workforce—adding nearly 4,000 employees in the second quarter of 2025 alone—to meet the rising wave of demand. While this has weighed slightly on near-term margins, it sets the stage for long-term capacity gains as projects ramp through 2026 and beyond.

For investors, the Communications boom could be a game-changer. With the segment already generating double-digit growth and margin improvement, sustained momentum would diversify MasTec’s revenue mix, reduce reliance on cyclical pipeline projects and support the company’s raised EPS guidance of roughly 60% growth in 2025.

MasTec’s Communications surge looks less like a short-term spike and more like a structural growth driver—potentially positioning MTZ stock for continued upside.

Competitors in the Communications Growth RaceMasTec’s communications momentum draws natural comparisons to Dycom Industries (DY - Free Report) and Quanta Services (PWR - Free Report) , two infrastructure peers that are also heavily exposed to broadband and telecom build-outs.

Dycom has carved out a niche as a specialist in fiber deployment, winning repeat contracts with carriers like AT&T and Verizon. Like MasTec, Dycom is benefiting from federal broadband funding and the accelerating pace of fiber-to-the-home projects. Dycom’s backlog strength and execution track record make it a direct rival as MasTec scales its own wireline business.

Quanta Services, meanwhile, is a diversified infrastructure giant with growing exposure to telecom alongside its leading power delivery portfolio. Quanta is capturing share in data center fiber projects and wireless upgrades, often bidding against MasTec on large-scale jobs. With Quanta’s scale and Dycom’s focus, both competitors intensify the race for contracts, but MasTec’s combination of breadth and accelerating backlog growth may give it a differentiated edge.

MTZ Stock’s Price Performance & Valuation TrendShares of this Florida-based infrastructure construction company have surged 51.3% year to date, outperforming the Zacks Building Products - Heavy Construction industry, the broader Zacks Construction sector and the S&P 500 Index.

AI Power Surge: How Is the Data Center Boom Energizing Utility ETFs? stocknewsapi
FUTY IDU VPU XLU
The explosive growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent times has ignited a massive tailwind for utilities, traditionally known as a sleepy, stable, and slow-growth sector, translating into strong performance for Utility Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). This boom is directly tied to the burgeoning electricity demand from power-hungry data centers that are required to train and run sophisticated AI models.

Notably prominent utility ETFs, Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLU - Free Report) ), Vanguard Utilities ETF ((VPU - Free Report) ), iShares U.S. Utilities ETF ((IDU - Free Report) ) and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF ((FUTY - Free Report) ), with heavy weightage toward Electric Utilities, have surged more than 7% over the past year, outperforming the Utility Sector’s growth of 5%.

Data Centers’ Boom Energizing Utility ETFsModern AI data centers are immense consumers of power, often drawing as much electricity as a small city, 24/7. The computational demands of AI, from deep learning to running large language models, require massive processing power. Data centers consumed about 1.5% of global electricity in 2024 — roughly 415 terawatt-hours (TWh) — with the United States accounting for 45%, as stated by a report from the International Energy Agency (“EIA”).

Therefore, as data centers scramble to build out infrastructure for machine learning and other computationally intensive applications, electric utilities have become indispensable partners, making utility ETFs central beneficiaries of this megatrend.

Looking ahead, IEA projects electricity demand from data centers worldwide to more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh), slightly more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan (as of April 2025).

For utility companies, this represents a multi-decade, high-certainty growth opportunity, encouraging them to invest significant capital in expanding power generation and upgrading their transmission grids. Since regulated utilities can often secure rate increases from regulators to cover these investments, it translates directly into higher earnings, boosting the underlying companies and consequently the ETFs holding them.

Utility ETFs Capitalizing on the AI Power SurgeUtility ETFs, particularly those holding prominent U.S. utility stocks, offer investors exposure to companies providing essential energy to the digital economy, with the United States leading the AI power boom. These include:

Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU - Free Report)

The Electric Utilities industry comprises 64.2% of this fund, with U.S.-based utilities NextEra Energy (11.29%) and The Southern Company (7.82%) constituting its top three holdings.

XLU has gained 7.6% over the past year. The fund charges 8 basis points (bps) as fees.

Vanguard Utilities ETF (VPU - Free Report)

This ETF includes electric, gas, and water utility companies as well as companies that operate as independent producers and/or distributors of power. The Electric Utilities industry comprises 60.7% of this fund, with U.S.-based utilities NextEra Energy (10.34%) and The Southern Company (6.78%) constituting its top three holdings.

VPU has gained 7.7% over the past year. The fund charges 9 bps as fees.

iShares U.S. Utilities ETF (IDU - Free Report)

Oil prices predicted lower on oversupply concerns stocknewsapi
BNO DBO GUSH IEO OIH OIL PXJ UCO USO XOP
Berenberg has lowered its oil price forecast for 2026 to US$65 per barrel from US$70, citing oversupply concerns and weakening macroeconomic indicators.

The European bank, in a note, said it expects global inventories to rise materially in late 2025 and early 2026, weighing on crude prices.

Earnings estimates across the integrated oil sector have been cut by 6% for 2026. Nonetheless, the analysts see potential for recovery beyond H1 2026, as non-OPEC supply growth slows and spare capacity within OPEC becomes constrained.

In stock-specific moves, TotalEnergies has been downgraded to Hold due to its elevated reinvestment ratio and likely reduction in buybacks.

BP PLC (LSE:BP.), Repsol and Shell PLC (LSE:SHEL, NYSE:SHEL), meanwhile, remain Berenberg’s top picks, with strong free cash flow and shareholder return outlooks cited as key drivers.

European gas prices are expected to remain elevated through winter before easing in 2027 as new LNG capacity comes onstream. Sector valuations are near fair value on 2026 estimates, according to Berenberg.

Faruqi & Faruqi Reminds Lantheus Investors of the Pending Class Action Lawsuit with a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of November 10, 2025 - LNTH stocknewsapi
LNTH
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Lantheus To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Lantheus between February 26, 2025 and August 5, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

[You may also click here for additional information]

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (“Lantheus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LNTH) and reminds investors of the November 10, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with misleading statements concerning the true state of Pylarify’s competitive position; notably, that Lantheus was not equipped to properly assess the pricing and competitive dynamics for Pylarify, risking Pylarify’s price point, revenue, and overall growth potential. These statements caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Lantheus’ securities at artificially inflated prices.

Investors began to question the veracity of Defendants’ public statements on May 7, 2025, when Lantheus reported its first quarter results below market expectations with Pylarify’s performance particularly falling short. Then, on August 6, 2025, Lantheus again announced disappointing results and significantly reduced growth expectations for Pylarify, which had fallen 8.3% year-over-year, and slashed fiscal year 2025 growth projections. Defendants attributed the losses to the ongoing competition, impacting Pylarify’s pricing dynamics.

Investors and analysts reacted promptly to Lantheus’ revelations. The price of Lantheus’ common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $72.83 per share on August 5, 2025, Lantheus’ stock price fell to $51.87 per share on August 6, 2025, a decline of about 28.8% in the span of one day.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.  

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Lantheus’ conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the Lantheus Holdings, Inc. class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/LNTH or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).
