Bloom rejects allegations of China dependence as investors weigh critical mineral supply-chain risks. Summary
Supply-chain concerns put Bloom's scandium sourcing under renewed investor scrutiny.
Bloom Energy BE, a U.S. fuel-cell manufacturer whose systems are used to power data centers, has pushed back against claims that it remains dependent on Chinese scandium despite telling investors otherwise. Hunterbrook Media, which works alongside short-selling hedge fund Hunterbrook Capital, published a report alleging that Bloom continues to rely on Chinese supplies of the critical mineral. Hunterbrook said its conclusions were based on global trade data, Chinese corporate records, satellite imagery, and discussions with Bloom's suppliers in China. Bloom described the report as false and misleading, while its shares closed 5.7% lower at $254.29 on Wednesday before recovering roughly 3.1% on Thursday. The stock had gained almost 1,000% over the previous year as demand increased for Bloom's fuel-cell products used to power data centers.
Bloom uses scandium to improve the performance and durability of its fuel cells while allowing them to operate at lower temperatures. The company said it purchases scandium oxide from several suppliers across multiple countries and has enough material to meet its current fuel-cell demand and backlog. Bloom also stated that its supply is not dependent on China and that its sourcing network could support annual production of 25 gigawatts of fuel cells, with further capacity expansion planned. Chief Operating Officer Satish Chitoori said no single supplier or country determines Bloom's supply position, although the company has not disclosed the exact locations of its scandium sources because it considers that information important to protecting supply-chain resilience.
The dispute may matter to investors because scandium remains one of the world's smallest critical-mineral markets, with annual global consumption estimated at only 30 to 40 metric tons. China has spent years expanding scandium recovery and refining capacity, while Hunan Oriental Scandium, a Chinese scandium supplier, says it now provides more than half of the world's fuel-cell-grade scandium oxide. Beijing has also added scandium to a list of strategic minerals requiring export licenses, increasing attention on alternative supplies from countries including Russia, the Philippines, Canada, and Australia. Rio Tinto Group RIO, a global mining company recovering scandium from titanium dioxide operations in Canada, and Sunrise Energy Metals, an Australian developer seeking to expand scandium supply, are among the companies pursuing non-Chinese production. NioCorp Developments, the developer of a proposed Nebraska critical-minerals project, received $10 million from the Pentagon last year, although most projects remain years away from significant output. Baird Equity Research analyst Ben Kallo recommended buying Bloom shares on weakness, arguing that the scandium issue raised in the short report may not represent a major risk because the supply chain has been working to address the constraint for years.

Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) has become one of the AI power trade’s biggest winners, with shares up 1,006.61% over the past year on the “bring-your-own-power” thesis for hyperscalers. The question now is whether the price still makes sense.
Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Bloom Energy is $218.80 over the next 12 months. Against a current price of $265.95, that implies downside of roughly 17.73%. Our recommendation is sell, with high confidence at 90%.
24/7 Wall St. Price Target Summary Metric Value Current Price $265.95 24/7 Wall St. Price Target $218.80 Upside/Downside -17.73% Recommendation SELL Confidence Level 90% Why We Could Be Wrong Our price target sits below where Bloom trades today. Real upside could come from further expansion of the $5 billion Brookfield AI infrastructure partnership or additional hyperscaler wins beyond the announced Oracle collaboration. A full bull case appears below outlining why Bloom could outperform our model.
From $34 to $265 in a Year Bloom is up 166.65% year to date and sits about 20% below its 52-week high of $351.28. Q1 2026 earnings on April 28, 2026 drove momentum: revenue of $751.05 million beat estimates by 39.08% and grew 130.37% year over year, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.44 versus $0.1285 consensus.
Management raised FY2026 revenue guidance to $3.40B to $3.80B and EPS to $1.85 to $2.25. A June tariff-reset framework added further fuel.
The Case for $300 and Beyond Bulls cite total backlog of $20 billion, product backlog at $6 billion, with all shipments now 800V DC ready for next-gen data centers. Factory capacity expands doubling from 1GW to 2GW by end of 2026. CEO KR Sridhar told investors, “Bring-your-own-power has shifted from a slogan to a business necessity for AI hyperscalers and manufacturing facilities. This shift is secular and growing.”
Consensus stands at 14 buy ratings against 2 sell, with an average target of $280.93. Our bull-case scenario points to $302.60 within 12 months if hyperscaler orders compound.

Bloom is a natural fit for the AI power infrastructure thesis outlined in our 7 Stocks Powering the AI Boom (That Aren’t Chipmakers) reader report.
What Could Go Wrong The bear case starts with valuation. Forward P/E sits at 120x, price-to-sales at 34x, and EV/EBITDA at 688x. Customer concentration is real: Q1 2026 related-party sales to Brookfield JVs hit $373.30 million, up from $2.80 million a year earlier.
Insider activity has been net selling across 31 recent transactions. Our bear scenario models $159.65, a -39.97% outcome, if AI capex slows or tax credits are pared back.
Bloom Energy Price Prediction 2026-2030 Our 24/7 Wall St. price target of $218.80 and sell rating at 90% confidence reflect a simple view: the story is real, and the multiple has run well ahead of it. For long-time holders sitting on multi-bagger gains, the model’s math frames the risk/reward as skewed to the downside from here.
Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target 2026 $218.80 2027 $235.00 2028 $250.00 2029 $210.00 2030 $197.69 These projections assume Bloom continues executing on hyperscaler deployments. Significant upside or downside could result from AI data center demand pacing and the durability of federal tax-credit support.

Concentrix stock plunges 20% overnight after Q2 2026 earnings miss and FY 2026 guidance cut -- wiping out billions in shareholder value in a single session. July 10, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: Levi & Korsinsky, LLP
NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concentrix (NASDAQ: CNXC) shares opened down more than 20% on June 30, 2026 after the company reported Q2 2026 earnings and revenue below expectations and slashed its full-year 2026 guidance. Investors who lost money on Concentrix are encouraged to submit their information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
The sell-off followed a quarterly earnings report filed June 29, 2026 in which Concentrix cut FY 2026 revenue guidance from a $10.11 billion midpoint to $9.93-$10.03 billion and reduced non-GAAP EPS guidance from $11.48-$12.07 to $10.83-$11.18. The company cited off-shoring headwinds of approximately 300 basis points alongside some customers reallocating their spending distribution.
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating whether Concentrix made materially misleading statements prior to the June 29 disclosure. On January 13, 2026, Concentrix had initially provided the guided figures. CFO Andre Valentine separately reaffirmed the Company’s revenue, earnings, and cash flow guidance as recently as March 24, 2026.
Shareholders who suffered losses on their CNXC investment are encouraged to get more information about this investigation. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

Energy markets are evolving rapidly as demand for reliable power and renewable solutions climbs. Investors are now comparing GE Vernova (GEV +0.26%) and Vistra (VST +2.04%) to see which company offers a better path forward.
GE Vernova operates as a global leader in power equipment and electrification services. Vistra is an integrated giant focusing on retail energy and a massive generation fleet. Both are central to the energy transition, yet they operate in distinct segments of the power generation landscape.
The case for GE VernovaGE Vernova supplies the technology and services required to generate a significant portion of the world's power. It is the world's largest manufacturer of natural gas turbines, making it a unique player among electric utility stocks since it builds the hardware others use. The company recently strengthened its electrification capabilities by completing the acquisition of the remaining stake in Prolec GE.
In FY 2025, GE Vernova’s revenue grew 8.9% to $38.1 billion, and it earned $4.9 billion in net income. This resulted in a net margin of approximately 12.8%, a significant improvement over its 4.4% net margin in the previous year.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was almost nil, reflecting incredible financial strength. The current ratio of around 1x measures its ability to pay short-term obligations. Free cash flow (FCF) for the year is nearly $3.7 billion, which is calculated as cash from operations minus capital expenditures.
The case for VistraVistra provides electricity and natural gas to nearly five million residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the U.S. It manages a massive generation fleet of approximately 44,000 megawatts (MW), or 44 gigawatts (GW) across various fuel types. The company is also moving forward with its strategic acquisition of Cogentrix to expand its natural gas generation capacity.
In FY 2025, Vistra’s revenue slipped 12.4% to $17 billion, and it earned a net income of $944 million. This net margin of 5.6% was significantly lower than the previous year’s net margin of 13.7%.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is roughly 4x. This ratio measures total debt against shareholder equity to evaluate financial leverage. The current ratio of 0.8x shows the relationship between short-term assets and liabilities. FCF reached nearly $129 million for the year, representing cash generated after paying for capital expenditures.
Risk profile comparisonGE Vernova faces risks related to supply chain volatility for critical components, as well as challenges in its offshore wind segment, which is bogged down by execution and cost risks. Scaling new decarbonization technologies such as small modular reactors in a fast-evolving market could also be a challenge, although GE Vernova has the means and expertise to advance new technologies.
Vistra faces regulatory hurdles regarding its pending Cogentrix acquisition and ongoing market competition investigations. Commodity price swings and extreme weather events also create volatility in its retail and generation segments. The company competes with other power producers like Constellation Energy (CEG +2.48%) while managing the operational and environmental risks inherent in its nuclear and coal generation facilities.
Valuation comparisonVistra appears to be the more conservative choice based on its lower earnings multiple, while GE Vernova carries a premium valuation that reflects its specialized infrastructure role.
A Forward P/E compares a company's share price to future earnings estimates. The P/S ratio measures the stock price against total revenue.

Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.
Which stock would I buy in 2026?GE Vernova and Vistra are playing the same massive structural trend: the unprecedented artificial intelligence (AI) data center build-out. AI chips consume astronomical amounts of power, and with hyperscalers spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the AI build-out, existing grids are under tremendous pressure.
Nuclear energy and natural gas are gaining attention like never before, as they are cleaner sources of power and can supply uninterrupted electricity, unlike wind and solar, which are intermittent.
Vistra owns the second-largest nuclear fleet in the U.S. and is acquiring Cogentrix in a $4 billion deal that will significantly expand its natural gas capacity across major organized power markets, including PJM, New England, and ERCOT (the Texas grid). The combined company will have a generation capacity of nearly 50 GW.
Vistra, however, relies heavily on energy derivatives to hedge its power prices, which is why its revenue can fluctuate so much, as it did in FY 2025. On the flip side, anytime AI demand causes localized power shortages, wholesale power prices could spike and earn Vistra boatloads of money.
GE Vernova, on the other hand, has a clear, straight growth path ahead that has little to do with power prices. Data centers are increasingly using turbines to bypass grids and generate "behind-the-meter," on-site power, with critical power backups. These turbines can be installed quickly, so data centers don’t have to wait years to get utility grid interconnections to start operations.
That’s the biggest reason why GE Vernova’s orders are reaching for the skies. Its total backlog hit a whopping $263 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, and demand is so strong that customers are paying upfront money to lock turbine manufacturing slots stretching through 2030. h
While I like Vistra too, I’d bet my money on GE Vernova today if I had to, because even utilities are now lining up for GE Vernova’s turbines to meet the growing demand for power.
SAN DIEGO, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, all dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until August 24, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. Captioned McGeachy v. Peabody Energy Corporation, No. 26-cv-01020 (E.D. Mo.), the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit charges Peabody Energy as well as certain of Peabody Energy’s top current and former executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:
You can also contact attorneys Ken Dolitsky or Michael Albert of Robbins Geller by calling 800/851-7783 or via e-mail at [email protected].
CASE ALLEGATIONS: Peabody Energy engages in the production of metallurgical and thermal coal.
The Peabody Energy class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Peabody Energy’s Centurion mine ramp-up and anticipated growth; and (ii) there was a multitude of issues causing delays to the Centurion mine ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates.
On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release allegedly lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine’s expected first quarter 2026 output by 450,000 tons ahead of Peabody Energy’s full earnings release. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy stock fell nearly 10%, according to the complaint.
Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release allegedly disclosing Peabody Energy’s failure to ramp-up Centurion by the long-awaited March 2026 deadline and that Peabody Energy was cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy stock fell nearly 6%, according to the complaint.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Peabody Energy common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in AeroVironment, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/aerovironment-class-action-lawsuit.
Key Details of the AeroVironment ($AVAV) Class Action:
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 27, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to AeroVironment’s contract to provide the U.S. Space Force’s SCAR program with its BADGER phased array antenna systemsLargest Alleged Stock Drop: March 2, 2026 – 17% Stock DropCourt: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of VirginiaAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights
Investors have until July 27, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in AeroVironment securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. It is captioned Norrell v. AeroVironment, et al., No. 26-cv-01429.
Why is AeroVironment Being Sued for Securities Fraud?
In May 2025, AeroVironment acquired BlueHalo, LLC, a defense technology firm specializing in advanced engineering. Three years earlier, BlueHalo had been awarded a $1.4 billion contract to deliver its BADGER phased array antenna systems to support the U.S. Space Force’s SCAR program.
According to the complaint, during the relevant period, AeroVironment consistently touted its SCAR contract and indicated it represented a “tremendous growth opportunity,” that AeroVironment’s work pursuant to the contract was “very much on track,” that the customer was “asking for more [BADGER systems],” and that the Company stood “ready to build more.”
As alleged, in truth, AeroVironment faced a significant likelihood of competition for the SCAR program and overstated its goodwill from its BlueHalo acquisition.
BFA Law is also investigating AeroVironment’s June 22, 2026, announcement that the financial statements in its quarterly report for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 “require restatement and should no longer be relied upon.”
Why did AeroVironment’s Stock Drop?
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government issued a stop work order on the Company’s agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program, upon mutual agreement with the Company. This news caused the price of AeroVironment common stock to decline $61.97 per share, or 15.77%, from $392.86 per share on January 16, 2026, to $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.
On March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program to suppliers other than AeroVironment and “are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR” which would “likely take the form of other companies building versions or variants of SCAR.” On this news, AeroVironment’s common stock dropped $43.93 per share, or 17.42%, from $284.24 per share at open on March 2, 2026, to a close of $208.32 per share.
Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced its Q3 financial results reporting an operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. The company also announced the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the AeroVironment’s space division after the stop work order tied to the Space Force’s SCAR program. This news caused the price of AeroVironment common stock to drop $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, from $221.57 per share on March 10, 2026, to $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ares Management Corporation announced today that it has updated the time it will hold its earnings webcast/conference call for the second quarter ending June 30, 2026 to 9:00am ET on Friday, July 31, 2026.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - July 10, 2026) - Grabar Law Office is investigating claims on behalf of shareholders Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI).
What is Happening? The investigation concerns whether certain officers and directors breached the fiduciary duties they owed to the company.
If you purchased or acquired Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) shares since prior to April 18, 2024, and still hold shares today, you can seek corporate reforms, the return of funds back to the company, and a court approved incentive award at no cost to you whatsoever. Please visit https://grabarlaw.com/the-latest/bmi-shareholder-investigation/, contact Joshua Grabar at [email protected], or call 267-507-6085 to learn more.
Why? A recently filed federal securities class action alleges that Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI), through certain of its officers, repeatedly attributed its strong financial performance to favorable industry trends, robust customer demand, growing adoption of its AMI offerings, strong order activity, backlog conversion, and long-term growth opportunities. According to the complaint, investors were allegedly led to believe that the Company's financial performance reflected sustainable, demand-driven growth and strong underlying business fundamentals.
The complaint further alleges that Badger Meter's reported results were materially impacted by the acceleration or pull-forward of customer orders, which allegedly masked weakening demand trends and depleted future-period revenue opportunities. As a result, investors allegedly received an inaccurate picture of the Company's near-term growth prospects and the sustainability of its financial performance.
It is alleged that the truth emerged through a series of disappointing quarterly announcements during 2025 and 2026, including reports of slowing revenue growth, declining margins, lower utility water sales, weaker municipal customer ordering activity, and reduced earnings performance. Following these announcements, Badger Meter's stock price experienced significant declines.
What Can You Do Now? If you purchased or acquired Badger Meter (NYSE: BMI) shares since prior to April 18, 2024, and still hold shares today, you are encouraged to visit https://grabarlaw.com/the-latest/bmi-shareholder-investigation/, contact Joshua Grabar at [email protected], or call 267-507-6085. You can seek corporate reforms, the return of funds back to the company, and a court approved incentive award at no cost to you whatsoever.

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading mixed as we prepare to end yet another roller-coaster week, marked by volatility across all asset classes. With second-quarter earnings expected next week, traders and investors will be closely watching the results, especially from the hyperscalers, like those in the Magnificnt 7 (all of which are underperforming this year, with only Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL | GOOGL Price Prediction) beating the S&P 500). All of the major indices finished the day higher, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way on strength in semiconductor stocks, closing up 1.3% at 26,206, while the Russell 2000 and small-caps closed up 1.22% at 2,992. The S&P 500 also posted a strong day, finishing the session 7,543 up 0.81%, and, last but not least, the venerable Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 52,487 up 0.27%.
Treasury Bonds: After some heavy selling earlier in the week, yields were down across the curve, with only the shortest T-bill maturity ticking higher. Rising yields brought buyers back, and some positive economic data, such as the jobs report, helped ease the Street’s concerns about the potential for interest rate increases later this year. When the final bell rang, the 30-year-long bond was trading at 5.07%, while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at 4.55%.
Oil and Gas: After a week of heavy buying amid the resumption of hostilities with Iran, sellers returned on Thursday. Crude oil prices fell on Thursday after easing geopolitical tensions and expected production increases from the Middle East eased earlier concerns over potential supply disruptions. The risk premium built into prices quickly unwound as traders adapted to the swift resumption of shipping traffic through the critical Strait of Hormuz chokepoint. When the market closed, Brent Crude was seen at $76, down 2.69%, while West Texas Intermediate finished the session at $71.78, down 2.37%. Natural gas was last seen at $3.01, down almost 7%, amid a larger-than-expected storage build and lower demand, as is usually the case during the summer months.
Gold: Precious metals also had a bounce-back day, as buyers returned, with Gold closing at $4,121 and Silver last seen at $59.04. Precious metals rose sharply due to a cooling U.S. labor market, easing oil prices, and a weaker dollar, which reduced inflation concerns. These factors dampened expectations of aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes, making non-yielding assets like bullion more attractive to investors.
Crypto: Cryptocurrency markets experienced modest gains and persistent volatility on Thursday, with Bitcoin bouncing off intraday lows to stabilize near $63,000. Broader market sentiment remained reactive, heavily driven by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and mixed institutional flows across spot ETFs. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin is trading at $ 64,380, while Ethereum is trading at $1,799.
24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports every day to identify fresh investment ideas for investors and traders alike. These daily analyst notes include recommendations on stocks to buy, sell, or avoid, as well as new coverage initiations. Important reminder: No single analyst report should ever be the sole basis for buying or selling a stock.
Here are some of the best Wall Street analyst upgrades, downgrades, and initiations seen on Friday, July 10, 2026.
Upgrades: CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) was upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Barclays, which nudged the target price to $46 from $45. Seagate Technology Holdings (NASDAQ: STX) was upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Wells Fargo, which lifted the target price for the shares to $1,100 from $900. Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP) was raised to Buy from Hold at Stifel, and the target price was raised to $150 from $110. Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) was upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Citigroup, which raised the target price for the luxury homebuilder to $176 from $146. Twilio (NYSE: TWLO) was upgraded to Buy from Hold at Stifel, which moved the price target to $260 from $175.

CompaniesJuly 10 (Reuters) - Derivatives exchange Cboe Global Markets (CBOE.Z), opens new tab expects to list options on SK Hynix's (000660.KS), opens new tab U.S.-listed shares two business days after the stock's trading debut, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
The South Korean chipmaker, which raised $26.5 billion in share sale, is set to make its Wall Street entry later in the day. Analysts say it will be a crucial test of investor faith in the AI trade after a recent pullback in semiconductor stocks.

Options tied to the Nasdaq listing will trade according to existing regulatory rules and the Options Listing Procedures Plan framework, the source said on condition of anonymity as the information is confidential.
SK Hynix, which is valued at about $1.03 trillion based on its South Korea-listed shares, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Options trading allows market participants to hedge risk or bet on future share-price moves, typically increasing liquidity and price discovery in a stock.
Investors have poured money into companies tied to the AI boom, betting that years of heavy spending on chips and computing infrastructure will drive steady demand for companies such as SK Hynix.
More recently, however, concerns about lofty valuations have triggered bouts of volatility across the sector.
"In a shallow correction, SK Hynix holds up better because its supply is the most locked and the most strategic. In a deep AI winter, Micron's diversification and U.S. positioning make it the relative safe haven," said Daniel Newman, CEO of tech research firm Futurum Group.
Heavy retail participation could also make the stock's options market active, as traders seek leveraged exposure to AI-related names, a dynamic that can amplify gains as well as losses.

I rate Arm Holdings (ARM) a Buy with a $544 price target, implying 64% upside from $332 per share. The main growth drivers are higher royalty dollars per chip from Armv9 and CSS, stronger licensing momentum, more CPU cores needed for agentic AI and the Arm AGI CPU.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem could soon reach a new milestone after several months of discretion around some of its most anticipated projects. Recent exchanges within the community revive speculation about the return of Shiba Eternity and the metaverse associated with the SHIB universe. Without an official schedule, several clues nonetheless show that the teams continue their work behind the scenes. These statements come as developers reaffirm their desire to refocus their efforts on sustainable products for the coming years.
In brief Shiba Inu is preparing the return of Shiba Eternity and its metaverse after several months of pause. Mazrael states that the two projects are currently benefiting from numerous updates behind the scenes. The Web3 version of Shiba Eternity continues its development after a closed beta phase on Shibarium. The metaverse will be accessible via Shib.io, replacing the old now abandoned domains. Developers want to focus their efforts on sustainable projects to revive the ecosystem in 2026. The recent drop of SHIB continues to fuel the community’s questions about the ecosystem’s outlook. At the same time, discussions have resumed after an intervention by Mazrael, a long-standing member of the SHIB community, during an exchange on X. Asked about the current state of Shiba Eternity, he indicated that the game’s development was ongoing despite a temporary pause. As an advisor to the project, he also hinted that several major updates were already in preparation, suggesting that the teams are actively continuing their work before a future relaunch.
Meh, in an environment where lesser doggos would shutdown their L2, we temporary paused SE along with the metaverse can refer to blog.shib.io or magazine.shib.io lots in progress. Oh, and actually both MV and SE have much updates ready for their relaunch. There still a bunch you can do on SHIBarium and you can use Shib.io building blocks to make moar 2!
Mazrael, a veteran of the Shiba Inu community. Source: X / @Mazrael_shib Mazrael also mentioned the Shiba Inu metaverse, specifying that it too would benefit from many updates before its relaunch. He summarized the situation by saying that “many things are underway,” without revealing more details. However, no schedule accompanies this announcement. Despite this absence of date, the message shows that the two projects remain at the heart of the ecosystem’s roadmap.
Shiba Eternity was launched in October 2022 as a free collectible card game on mobile. After this first version, developers began designing a paid Web3 edition integrated into Shibarium. This evolution was intended to offer a Play-to-Earn model. A closed beta phase took place between the third and fourth quarters of 2024 to test this new version.
Technical Developments Set the Stage for the Return of Both Projects Even though teams remain discreet about their schedule, several elements show that preparations are progressing. Mazrael indicated that the metaverse would no longer go through an independent domain upon its return. Instead, users would access the experience directly via the Shib.io website. This change comes after the closure of the old domains previously used by the ecosystem.
This centralization could simplify access to the various services developed around Shiba Inu. It also reflects a desire to unify products under a single platform. The shared information remains limited, but it confirms that technical developments have not stopped. Upcoming announcements should thus specify the features planned for the new versions.
Meanwhile, Shiba Eternity also continues its evolution towards an environment more integrated with Shibarium. The trials carried out during the Web3 beta show that the project continues to develop despite the pause observed in recent months. Mazrael’s statements therefore reinforce the idea that the teams prefer comprehensive preparation before announcing an availability date.
A Roadmap Refocused on Sustainable Projects At the end of 2025, Kaal Dhairya, a Shiba Inu developer, had already presented the major orientations planned for 2026 in a letter addressed to the community. He explained that “some projects, systems, or processes could be suspended or abandoned when they did not generate revenue or reach their economic balance.” This approach aimed to focus resources on the most solid initiatives.
Despite this perspective, Kaal Dhairya wanted to reassure community members. According to him, the vision carried by Shiba Inu had not disappeared. He simply believed that “the ecosystem was going through a more difficult period before a new development phase.” The stated goal was now to repair existing foundations, strengthen team focus, and build solutions capable of lasting over time.
Mazrael’s latest statements fit into this same logic. They show that the flagship projects continue to move forward even if their communication remains limited. The coming months should reveal more about the relaunch schedule of Shiba Eternity and the metaverse. If this strategy is confirmed, Shibarium could gradually re-prioritize projects considered essential. Upcoming official communications will help measure the concrete progress of this new development phase.

Silver price (XAG/USD) surrenders its early gains and slides 0.73% to near $59.50 during the European trading session on Friday. The white metal turns negative amid fears that the next monetary policy move by the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be on the upside.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed delivering at least one interest rate hike this year is almost 80%.
Higher interest rates by the Fed bode poorly for non-yielding assets, such as Silver.
Hawkish Fed prospects remain firm amid fears of a prolonged United States (US)-Iran war, a scenario that will keep the energy supply disrupted. According to the Iranian state media, the US forces struck several more locations in coastal Iran.
The longer the aggression between the US and Iran continues, the more likely it is that oil prices will remain higher.
In the last few months, the Silver price underperformed as higher oil prices de-anchored global inflationary pressures.
Meanwhile, a sharp recovery in the US Dollar is also hurting the Silver price. As of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades marginally lower to near 100.87. The DXY recovered after revisiting the three-week low of 100.60.
Going forward, investors await the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for June, which will be released on Tuesday.
Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.

The space economy is transitioning from science project to revenue-generating industry, and July has produced a sharp pullback across the sector leaders. All three names below have sold off sharply over the past month, yet the underlying contract pipelines, spectrum positions, and government awards keep expanding.
Treat this as a high-risk speculative bucket: Every pick is still unprofitable, cash-hungry, and exposed to execution risk on hardware that hasn’t fully proven itself. Here are three space economy stocks worth a hard look this month.
Rocket Lab (RKLB) Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB | RKLB Price Prediction) has become the closest thing to a pure-play space prime outside of privately held SpaceX. Shares traded around $82.28 on July 8 after a nearly 28% one-month decline, yet the stock remains up 6.29% year to date and over 112% over the past year. That pullback reframes the risk/reward setup.
The Q1 FY2026 report was the strongest quarter in company history. Revenue hit $200.35 million, up 63.5% year over year, beating expectations, while EPS of -7 cents topped the -8 cents estimate. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 43.0% from 33.4%, and backlog jumped to $2.20 billion, up 20.2% sequentially. CEO Peter Beck framed the position bluntly: “We exited the quarter with $2.2 billion in backlog and currently have access to more than $2 billion in liquidity, putting us in a very strong position for continued growth and M&A execution.”
The forward catalysts stack up. Rocket Lab was selected for the Department of War’s Space Based Interceptor program under Golden Dome for America alongside Raytheon, closed the Mynaric AG laser communications acquisition, and is targeting the Neutron medium-lift debut in Q4 2026. Prediction market sentiment sits at a bullish composite score of 65.11.
The risk: Rocket Lab is still burning cash, ran a $450 million ATM raise in Q1, and Neutron slippage would puncture the thesis. Any hardware failure on the maiden Neutron launch resets the narrative.
AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) is the highest-conviction moonshot in the group and the most dangerous. The stock traded around $74.44 on July 8, down more than 19% over the past month but up nearly 65% year over year. The pitch is simple: ASTS is building the only satellite constellation designed to connect directly to unmodified smartphones, and it now has nearly 60 mobile network operator partners covering more than 3 billion subscribers.
Q1 FY2026 was ugly on the surface. Revenue of $14.74 million missed consensus of $36.58 million, and EPS of -66-cent missed the -20-cent estimate, dragged down by an $88.65 million induced conversion expense. Still, management reaffirmed FY2026 revenue guidance of $150 million to $200 million and is targeting roughly 45 BlueBird satellites in orbit by year-end 2026. Cash sits at $3.03 billion, which buys years of runway.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Rocket Lab didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Retail conviction has been rebuilding. A viral r/stocks thread titled “AST SpaceMobile Wins Massive $1B Japan Satellite Program with Rakuten” drove sentiment scores of 82 to 85 in late June, and the ongoing “Tell me why not to buy ASTS” debate thread has kept the name in constant discussion. Composite sentiment reads neutral at 54.84, leaving room for a re-rate if Block 2 launches execute cleanly.
The risk: ASTS is effectively pre-revenue at commercial scale, has posted an EPS surprise as bad as -450% (Q3 2024), and MNO memoranda still need to convert into definitive contracts. Any launch failure on BlueBirds 8 through 10 stops the story cold.
Intuitive Machines (LUNR) Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) is the deep-value option in the space bucket and the one where the drawdown looks most extreme. Shares traded around $17.28 on July 8, down a stunning 42% over the past month, though still up nearly 62% year over year.
The Lanteris acquisition transformed the model. Q1 FY2026 revenue reached $186.73 million, up 198.7% year over year, and the company posted its first positive adjusted EBITDA quarter of $2.67 million. EPS came in at -5 cents, beating the -6-cent estimate. FY2026 revenue guidance is $900 million to $1 billion, with positive full-year Adjusted EBITDA. Backlog reached a record $1.06 billion, and the U.S. Space Force Andromeda IDIQ contract carries an anticipated ceiling of $6.2 billion.
The risk: Cash fell from $582.6 million to $231.6 million in a single quarter, shareholders’ equity is negative $333.4 million, and Reddit sentiment recently collapsed into bearish territory with a score range of 22 to 35 under the viral thread “So did we stop caring about Space now?” Prediction composite sits at a cautious 41.25. Government contract concentration means one budget shift can reset earnings power.
What to Watch Into August The setup into next month is straightforward. RKLB investors will track Neutron pad readiness and any Golden Dome award follow-through. ASTS holders should watch the mid-June BlueBird 8, 9, and 10 deployment translate into orbital operations. LUNR shareholders need to see cash burn stabilize while the Goonhilly Earth Station acquisition closes in Q3. Position sizes here should reflect what these are: high-variance bets on the next decade of space infrastructure.

TLDR Midnight Foundation reopened the Glacier Drop redemption portal after completing a security review linked to the SecondFi incident. The Foundation confirmed its infrastructure remained secure and unaffected by the breach involving 16 million ADA. NIGHT token redemptions resumed on June 9, with all thawed tokens now available for eligible users. The Glacier Drop distribution schedule remains unchanged despite the temporary suspension of the portal. The program continues in its third phase, with the final redemption window set to end in December 2026. The Midnight Foundation has reopened its Glacier Drop redemption portal for Cardano users after completing a security review. The decision follows a temporary suspension linked to a security incident affecting certain wallets connected to SecondFi. Midnight Foundation confirmed that redemptions resumed without any impact on its infrastructure or user allocations.
Security Review Confirms Platform Integrity The Midnight Foundation halted NIGHT token redemptions after reports of a breach involving SecondFi-linked wallets. Hackers stole approximately 16 million ADA from hundreds of affected wallets during the incident. As a result, the Midnight Foundation temporarily closed the redemption portal to assess potential exposure.
The investigation focused on whether the exploit extended to Glacier Drop systems or participant accounts. However, the Midnight Foundation found no evidence that its infrastructure was compromised during the breach. The review confirmed that the redemption platform remained isolated from the affected systems.
Following these findings, the Midnight Foundation restored access to the portal and resumed all redemption operations. The organization stated that all eligible users can now claim tokens that completed thawing during the suspension period. This ensured continuity for participants without altering the program’s operational structure.
Glacier Drop Timeline Continues Without Changes The Midnight Foundation maintained the original Glacier Drop schedule despite the temporary pause in redemptions. The program distributes NIGHT tokens through a phased mechanism across four separate quarterly windows. Each phase unlocks 25% of allocated tokens as part of a structured release model.
The first redemption phase ran between December 10, 2025, and March 9, 2026, under the established framework. The second phase followed from March 10 through June 7, 2026, with participants accessing newly thawed tokens. The Midnight Foundation confirmed that these earlier phases proceeded without disruption before the incident.
The program has now entered its third phase, which started on June 8 and continues until September 5, 2026. A fourth and final redemption window will run from September 6 to December 4, 2026. The Midnight Foundation emphasized that all timelines remain unchanged despite the earlier suspension.
Guidance Issued for SecondFi-Affected Users The Midnight Foundation advised users connected to SecondFi wallets to follow official recovery guidance issued by that platform. This recommendation applies only to users potentially affected by the breach and not to Glacier Drop participants broadly. The Midnight Foundation clarified that its own systems did not require user-side remediation.
SecondFi introduced a phased response plan to address the security incident and support affected users. The process begins with a Quarantine Mode designed to secure compromised accounts and prevent further exposure. This step aims to stabilize impacted wallets before additional recovery actions proceed.
Your Options for Securing Assets, and What’s Next
We recognize that some users may not have completed all steps in the Hardware Wallet Guidance posted in our knowledge base. If you are not technically proficient, we recommend waiting for the secure wallet export functionality,…
— SecondFi (@secondfiapp) July 8, 2026
The response plan will include a secure wallet export process scheduled for the following week. A final recovery phase may follow, depending on investigation outcomes and asset retrieval efforts. Meanwhile, the Midnight Foundation confirmed that its portal remains fully operational for eligible users.
The reopening of the Glacier Drop portal marks the resumption of normal operations after the review. Midnight Foundation confirmed that its infrastructure remained secure and unaffected throughout the incident. Eligible users can now redeem thawed NIGHT tokens according to the established schedule.

Internet sensation Moo Deng is set to celebrate her second birthday this week, with her home zoo gearing up for a three-day festival.
The pygmy hippopotamus, whose chaotic antics and perpetually startled expression have propelled her to global superstardom, turns two on Friday.
To mark the milestone, the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand’s Chonburi province, east of Bangkok, announced the “Moo Deng Happy Deng Day” festival from 10 to 12 July.
On her birthday, the celebrity calf will see visitors join a mass sing-along around her enclosure and eat a specially crafted, hippo-friendly birthday cake made of her favourite vegetables.
Her first birthday was also celebrated with a days-long festival attended by throngs of adoring fans. The highlights included a birthday cake sponsored by a skincare entrepreneur at a cost of almost £2,100, mascot parades, and a photo exhibition, titled “Moo Deng in Every Moment”, chronicling her journey from a 5kg newborn to a 93kg toddler, according to The Nation.

They are offering free admission throughout the three-day festival for children aged 12 and under as well as to senior citizens over 60.
The festival will feature daily wildlife mascot parades, game booths, and a dedicated station where fans can write birthday cards to the toddler hippo.
Visitors will also get a rare chance to meet Moo Deng’s keepers for behind-the-scenes insights into her daily routine.
For dedicated collectors, the zoo is releasing a highly exclusive "Moo Deng Tail Print" souvenir. Limited to just 999 pieces worldwide, the collectible is priced at around £43, with the proceeds going towards wildlife conservation. Local vendors will set up stalls showcasing regional Thai food and handicrafts.
Zoo director Narongwit Chodchoi said that the festival would also launch "Hippo Village", a major modernisation project for the habitat.
The initiative aims to significantly improve animal welfare and expand conservation education, ensuring the global spotlight on Moo Deng leaves a lasting legacy for her species.

The videos went viral, prompting the zoo to livestream her enclosure and capitalise on her fame with corporate sponsorship deals and merchandise.
In the final quarter of 2024 alone, Khao Kheow Open Zoo saw visitor numbers triple to 600,000.
Moo Deng appeared in a Saturday Night Live sketch and correctly predicted Donald Trump’s 2024 US presidential win by choosing between two vegetable cakes. Google honoured her with a doodle, and a Thai music label released a viral techno anthem bearing her name.
Her popularity has begun to dip in recent months, however, mirroring the short-lived fame of other internet-famous animals like China’s Hua Hua the panda and Australia’s Pesto the penguin. Still, Mr Nundee insists Moo Deng enjoys the attention.
The pygmy hippopotamus is an endangered species, native to West Africa, with fewer than 2,500 left in the wild according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL), one of the world’s leading internet financial platform companies, today announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A., a national trust bank. The bank will operate under the name Circle National Trust.
OCC approval of a national trust bank charter represents a major U.S. regulatory milestone and strengthens the infrastructure of USDC1 – the world’s largest regulated stablecoin – through federally-regulated custody, with reserve management planned as a future capability. It places Circle National Trust under direct federal oversight by the OCC, the primary regulator for national banks and national trust banks.
As a federally regulated national trust bank, Circle National Trust aligns digital asset infrastructure with the longstanding role of national trust banks in safeguarding client assets under strict fiduciary standards. This brings USDC infrastructure into a proven federal banking framework designed to ensure safety, soundness, and transparency.
Upon opening, Circle National Trust will offer fiduciary digital asset custody services for Circle and its affiliates. As per its business plan, which was approved by the OCC, "depending on demand, FNDCB may eventually offer its digital asset custody service to a limited number of institutional customers directly, focusing on banks and other financial institutions, such as regulated derivatives organizations." The charter is also designed to enable future capabilities, including management of the USDC Reserve, which would bring those operations under federal regulatory oversight and further enhance the safety, transparency, and trust of USDC.
“OCC approval to establish Circle National Trust marks a defining step in bringing blockchain technology and digital assets into the core of the U.S. financial system,” said Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Circle. “Federal oversight of our trust bank sets a new standard for transparency, governance, and scale for Circle’s infrastructure and unlocks a new phase of adoption, where leading financial institutions can build on public blockchains with clarity and confidence.”
As an OCC-chartered national trust bank, Circle National Trust advances USDC’s role as trusted, federally regulated digital dollar infrastructure for payments, settlement, and capital markets activity, supporting the role of the U.S. dollar in an increasingly digital global economy.
Circle submitted its application to the OCC on June 30, 2025 and received a conditional approval in December, 2025, building on its long-standing commitment to regulatory engagement. In 2015, Circle became the first company to receive a BitLicense from the New York Department of Financial Services and remains engaged with the leading U.S. state digital asset regulator. In 2024, Circle became the first global stablecoin issuer to comply with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. Circle also holds licenses in the UK, Singapore, and Bermuda, and has met Canadian Value-Referenced Crypto Asset requirements. In 2025, Circle secured a license from Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority.

The charter allows Circle to act as custodian for its own reserves and hold crypto assets on behalf of institutional clients.
"OCC approval to establish Circle National Trust marks a defining step in bringing blockchain technology and digital assets into the core of the U.S. financial system," Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in a statement.
Circle said the approval places its trust bank under direct federal oversight by the OCC, the primary regulator for lenders and national trust banks.
As regulatory hurdles eased, digital asset firms have expanded into traditional finance, pursuing banking licenses, custody businesses and payment services over the past year.
Circle issues USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a fixed value, usually through a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar, and are widely used to transfer funds between crypto tokens.
USDC has a market value of about $73.2 billion, according to CoinGecko.
Circle shares have fallen 20.5% so far this year, through last close, giving it a market capitalization of about $15.7 billion, according to LSEG data.

Circle shares surged in premarket trading on Friday after the stablecoin issuer announced it had received final regulatory approval from the US OCC to establish a national trust bank.
At the time of writing, Circle shares were up 13.33% in premarket trading.
The regulatory approval allows the company to act as custodian for its own reserves and hold crypto assets on behalf of institutional clients.
Circle said the final approval enables it to establish Circle National Trust and places the trust bank under the direct oversight of the OCC, the primary federal regulator for lenders and national trust banks.
Commenting on the approval, Circle Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Allaire described the development as a significant step for the digital asset industry.
"OCC approval to establish Circle National Trust marks a defining step in bringing blockchain technology and digital assets into the core of the US financial system," Allaire said in a statement.
According to the company, operating under a national trust charter will allow it to expand its role in safeguarding digital assets while maintaining direct federal regulatory oversight.
The national trust bank charter allows Circle to serve as custodian for its own reserves, which back its stablecoin operations.
It also permits the company to hold crypto assets on behalf of institutional clients.
The approval comes as digital asset companies continue to broaden their presence in traditional financial services.
As regulatory hurdles have eased over the past year, firms in the sector have increasingly pursued banking licenses, custody businesses, and payment services.
The move reflects a broader effort by crypto companies to integrate more closely with regulated financial infrastructure while expanding their service offerings.
USDC remains a major stablecoinCircle is the issuer of USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin designed to maintain a fixed value through a 1:1 peg with the US dollar.
Stablecoins are widely used within the cryptocurrency market to transfer funds between crypto tokens while minimizing price volatility.
Their fixed-value design makes them a commonly used medium for transactions across digital asset platforms.
Friday's rally follows a challenging year for Circle's stock.
Despite the sharp premarket gains, the company's shares had fallen 20.5% so far this year through the previous market close, according to LSEG data.
The decline had left Circle with a market capitalization of approximately $15.7 billion before Friday's trading session.
Investors appeared to welcome the OCC's final approval, sending the stock sharply higher as the market reacted to the company's expanded regulatory status and new custody capabilities.
The approval gives Circle the authority to operate its national trust bank under direct federal supervision while broadening its role in providing custody services for both its reserves and institutional crypto clients.
Hyperliquid Policy Center and Phantom have urged the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to update its rulebook for onchain trading, arguing that existing regulations built for traditional financial markets do not fit decentralized infrastructure.
Summary
Hyperliquid Policy Center and Phantom have asked the CFTC to create rules tailored for onchain trading instead of applying legacy market regulations. The groups said developers of decentralized trading software and non custodial wallet providers should not face the same registration requirements as traditional intermediaries. The proposal comes as U.S. regulators review derivatives rules and CME continues its legal challenge over the CFTC’s treatment of crypto perpetual futures. According to a joint comment letter submitted on Thursday by the Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) and Phantom, the current regulatory framework assumes a market structure where brokers, exchanges and clearinghouses control customer funds throughout the trading process. The organizations said onchain markets operate differently because users retain control of their own assets.
The submission responds to a joint Request for Information (RFI) issued last month by the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which invited public feedback on regulations that may be slowing financial innovation and making it harder for new technologies to work with CFTC-regulated firms. As previously reported by crypto.news, the agencies are also reviewing whether existing definitions for swaps and related derivatives remain suitable for newer financial products.
HPC and Phantom seek tailored rules for decentralized markets In their filing, HPC and Phantom argued that developers of onchain trading software should not automatically be required to register as exchanges or clearinghouses simply because they build decentralized infrastructure. They also said non-custodial wallet interfaces such as Phantom should not be treated as introducing brokers.
The organizations argued that blockchain-based software cannot be regulated in the same way as centralized intermediaries because, unlike traditional market operators, code cannot enter contracts, respond to regulators or exercise legal responsibilities.
Alongside those proposals, the letter said companies already registered with the CFTC should be allowed to use blockchain technology for trading and clearing without facing unnecessary regulatory barriers.
The recommendations arrive as U.S. regulators continue examining how decentralized finance fits within existing derivatives rules. CFTC Chair Michael Selig previously said the agency’s joint review with the SEC could help resolve longstanding uncertainties under the Dodd-Frank Act, while SEC Chair Paul Atkins has called for clearer definitions covering newer financial products.
Filing comes as CME challenges crypto perpetual futures The proposal also lands while the CFTC faces legal action from CME Group over its approval of regulated crypto perpetual futures.
As previously reported by crypto.news, CME sued the regulator in June after it approved perpetual futures products from platforms including Kalshi and opened a regulated path for similar offerings. The exchange argues that perpetual contracts should be classified as swaps rather than futures under the Dodd-Frank framework and claims the regulator bypassed the legal process required for swap products.
The dispute gained additional attention after Kalshi expanded beyond Bitcoin perpetuals to list contracts linked to Ethereum, XRP and Hyperliquid, while Coinbase also secured a regulated route to offer certain crypto perpetual futures through infrastructure connected to Deribit.
HPC founder Jake Chervinsky has publicly opposed CME’s lawsuit, describing it as a serious mistake and accusing the exchange of trying to block new competitors. One day after CME filed its case, the CFTC and SEC published their joint request for public comment, which specifically asked whether the legal definition of swaps should be updated to account for emerging products such as crypto perpetual contracts.
A New Chain Moves FastRobinhood Chain (@RobinhoodCrypto) recorded $375.15 million in decentralized exchange volume over a single 24-hour window, outpacing Hyperliquid (@HyperliquidX), which posted $198.87 million over the same period, according to DeFiLlama data.
The milestone is notable given how recently the network came online. Robinhood launched the public mainnet for Robinhood Chain on July 1, 2026, positioning it as a Layer-2 blockchain built on Arbitrum and designed for tokenized real-world assets and decentralized finance. The chain went live with several established DeFi protocols already integrated, including Uniswap as its primary liquidity venue, Chainlink for price oracles, and Morpho for lending.
The volume surge follows an even larger spike on July 8, when the chain briefly recorded between $560 million and $570 million in daily DEX volume, driven largely by a memecoin called Cash Cat. That token alone accounted for roughly $98 million in trading activity on Uniswap pairs on the chain, according to Crypto Briefing. Daily active addresses approached 200,000 on that date, with more than 140,000 of those being first-time users of the network.
Context: What Robinhood Chain Is Up AgainstHyperliquid has been one of the dominant forces in on-chain trading, particularly in perpetual futures. The platform carries a total value locked of around $1.4 billion and a native token, $HYPE, with a market cap exceeding $15 billion, per DeFiLlama. Its 7-day DEX spot volume still stands at $1.6 billion, well ahead of Robinhood Chain's $512 million over the same window, suggesting the gap in sustained activity remains wide even as the 24-hour comparison favors the newer chain.
Robinhood Chain's infrastructure is built to support more than memecoin trading. The network integrates Stock Tokens, which are on-chain instruments providing economic exposure to publicly traded equities such as Apple, NVIDIA, and Google, available through Robinhood Wallet in more than 120 countries. The company has also launched Robinhood Earn, a decentralized lending product offering an estimated 7% annual yield on its USDG stablecoin through Morpho.
Whether the current volume levels reflect durable demand or early speculative enthusiasm remains an open question. The chain is still in its first two weeks of mainnet operation and is currently waiving gas fees on core activities including swaps, bridging, and perpetual futures trading for the first 90 days.
Robinhood Chain surpassed Hyperliquid in 24-hour decentralized exchange trading volume on July 8, a striking early milestone for the newly launched Ethereum Layer 2 as speculative activity rushed into one of the newest networks backed by a major U.S. brokerage.
According to DeFiLlama data cited by market reports, Robinhood Chain recorded roughly $560 million to $570 million in daily DEX volume on July 8, exceeding Hyperliquid’s 24-hour figure and briefly placing the chain among the most active DeFi trading venues by volume. DeFiLlama’s live dashboard later showed Robinhood Chain with more than $400 million in 24-hour DEX volume, reflecting the fast-moving nature of the metric.
The surge came about a week after Robinhood launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 built using Arbitrum’s technology stack. Robinhood describes the network as a permissionless blockchain built for financial services and real-world assets, with tokenized stocks, 24/7 trading, self-custody and DeFi composability as central parts of its strategy.
The main driver of the volume spike was not tokenized equities, but memecoin speculation. Reports pointed to Cash Cat, a WETH-paired memecoin trading on Uniswap, as the largest catalyst. The token reportedly generated close to $100 million in 24-hour trading volume and briefly reached a market capitalization above $100 million, drawing liquidity and arbitrage activity to the new chain.
Memecoin Frenzy Drives Early Adoption Robinhood Chain’s rapid rise shows how quickly DeFi activity can migrate when a new network combines strong brand recognition, major infrastructure partners and speculative incentives. Uniswap is already live on the chain, giving traders a familiar venue for token swaps and creating an immediate liquidity layer for new assets.
The volume surge also highlights a recurring pattern in crypto market structure. New chains often gain early traction not through institutional use cases or carefully designed financial products, but through volatile retail assets that attract high turnover. Memecoins can generate large trading volume quickly because they are easy to launch, simple to understand and heavily driven by social momentum.
That dynamic creates both opportunity and risk for Robinhood. High DEX volume gives the chain visibility and can attract builders, liquidity providers and market makers. But if activity is dominated by thinly traded speculative tokens, it may not translate into durable adoption for Robinhood’s core thesis around tokenized real-world assets and onchain finance.
The comparison with Hyperliquid is also important. Hyperliquid has become one of DeFi’s most successful trading venues, particularly in perpetual futures, with deep liquidity, high-frequency trading activity and a dedicated user base. Robinhood Chain surpassing it on a 24-hour DEX volume metric is notable, but it does not yet mean Robinhood has matched Hyperliquid’s sustained liquidity, derivatives infrastructure or trader retention.
Robinhood Pushes Deeper Into Onchain Finance The milestone comes as Robinhood accelerates its broader crypto strategy. The company has been expanding tokenized stock access for international users, building onchain infrastructure and positioning crypto as a core part of its global financial-services roadmap. Its official launch announcement said Robinhood Chain is intended to provide a turnkey environment for builders and is natively connected to Robinhood’s onchain users.
For Robinhood, the strategic opportunity is to convert its mainstream brokerage brand into blockchain-native distribution. Unlike most new Layer 2 networks, Robinhood already has a large retail user base, regulated financial-services infrastructure and a recognized consumer brand. If it can connect those advantages with DeFi liquidity, tokenized assets and self-custody products, it could become a meaningful competitor in onchain markets.
Regulatory and reputational risks remain. Tokenized stocks, memecoin trading and open DeFi activity all sit in areas that can attract scrutiny, especially when linked to a brokerage known to retail investors. Robinhood will need to manage the gap between permissionless blockchain activity and the consumer-protection expectations attached to its brand.
For now, the July 8 volume spike is best viewed as an early market signal rather than proof of long-term dominance. Robinhood Chain has shown that it can attract significant trading activity almost immediately after launch. The harder test will be whether that activity persists once the memecoin cycle cools and whether the chain can shift volume toward tokenized assets, lending, stablecoins and other financial applications with more durable demand.
Robinhood Chain’s brief lead over Hyperliquid shows that the boundary between retail brokerage and decentralized trading is narrowing. The next phase will determine whether that convergence produces sustainable onchain finance or simply another short-lived liquidity boom.
In a joint comment letter, the wallet maker Phantom and the Hyperliquid Policy Center argue that writing onchain protocol software isn’t running a brokerage, and press the CFTC to keep developers and non-custodial wallets off its registration rolls.
Posted July 9, 2026 at 7:12 pm EST.
Two crypto firms have jointly asked the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission to declare that writing decentralized-finance software is not the same as running a brokerage, and to keep onchain protocol developers and non-custodial wallets — apps that never hold users’ funds or control their keys — off the agency’s registration rolls.
The wallet maker Phantom and the Hyperliquid Policy Center, an advocacy group tied to the Hyperliquid blockchain, set out the request in a joint comment letter dated July 9. It responds to a CFTC request for information on rules that may “unduly impede” fintech firms, which the agency issued under an executive order on financial-technology innovation.
The core of the argument is that software is not a market participant. The CFTC’s registration categories — for exchanges, clearinghouses, brokers and dealers — turn on functions performed by a person or entity, the letter notes, and “Software running on a public blockchain—even if it facilitates derivatives trading—is none of those things.” Such code, the firms wrote in the letter, has “no legal personality, no capacity to enter into contracts, and no ability to respond to regulatory inquiries.” Accordingly, the two argued, “onchain protocol software developers should not need to register as DCMs, SEFs, DCOs, FCMs, IBs, or SDs” — the CFTC’s acronyms for designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, derivatives clearing organizations, futures commission merchants, introducing brokers and swap dealers.
Instead, “registration requirements should apply to persons or entities actually handling customer orders or funds or entering into transactions with customers,” they wrote in the letter. The letter likens the point to traditional markets, where developers build matching engines and other trading infrastructure that registered firms deploy without the developers themselves being regulated as the exchange.
The firms asked the CFTC to take three steps: confirm that developing onchain protocol software alone triggers no registration; issue guidance letting the commission’s own registered markets use onchain infrastructure to run execution, clearing and settlement; and turn a March 2026 no-action letter granted to Phantom — which spared the non-custodial wallet from registering as an introducing broker — into a formal rule for similarly situated firms. The letter was signed by Phantom general counsel Kevin Jacobs and Hyperliquid Policy Center policy counsel Brad Bourque.
The stakes reach beyond the two firms. How the CFTC answers would help settle whether US-based DeFi protocols and wallets get treated as regulated intermediaries, and whether Americans can reach onchain derivatives markets onshore — Phantom notes its Hyperliquid integration is not available to US users today. The filing is a comment in a broader review, not a rule, and the agency has not said how it will respond.

Moreover, Token Terminal data also shows ETH bridged from Ethereum L1 to Robinhood Chain is up 70x in one week, passing $70 million. The chain uses ETH as gas.
Catalysts Behind the Massive Demand Santiment reported that Robinhood Chain is buzzing amid RWA tokenization, DeFi tools, and CASHCAT mania. “Bulls see a TradFi-to-DeFi bridge, while skeptics question stock-token rights and lasting demand,” it added.

He also declared “Robinhood Summer is here” as the chain acts as a bridge between retail brokerage and on-chain trading. Robinhood also covers gas fees for eligible users via its Wallet until September 29.
As traditional brokerages increasingly eye blockchain integration, investors interested in equity-backed tokens can review the best exchanges for tokenized stocks to trade fractionalized shares on-chain.
Cash Cat (CASHCAT) price rocketed more than 1000% in just the last 3 days amid the hype. The meme coin named after Robinhood’s early days mascot jumped nearly 60% in past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.1455.
Lookonchain reporting a wallet (0x6f5b) named “Ansem-2” spent $233K to buy 2.79 million CASHCAT was another catalyst. The wallet is linked to the Solana wallet CLM6E4, which held 10.5 million ANSEM, sparked speculation of ANSEM buying CASHCAT.
Hyperliquid and Solana-based wallet Phantom have urged the U.S derivatives market regulator, Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC], to modernize its regulations.
Source: HPC In a letter sent to the CFTC, the DeFi players requested three things. First, the agency should not treat a non-custodial software developer (users control funds, not the platform) as a broker.
In other words, creating on-chain protocols should not automatically trigger CFTC registration as an exchange or clearinghouse. Put plainly, they want developer protections.
Second, the no-action relief granted to self-custodial wallets, as issued to Phantom in March 2026, should be made formal guidance.
An industry coalition made a similar argument and pushed in April. If adopted, non-custodial DeFi front-ends like Phantom would not need broker-dealer or exchange registration to handle even U.S tokenized stocks.
Finally, they want the CFTC to create a framework that allows regulated entities to use blockchain for trading and settlement.
Why are DeFi firms seeking exemptions? The letter was a response to the CFTC’s request for information regarding issues that are preventing fintechs from partnering with its regulated entities.
Some of the issues raised by Hyperliquid and Phantom are DeFi exemptions, some of which are being deliberated in the CLARITY Act. In fact, even the SEC is exploring a similar “innovation exemption” for tokenized assets trading.
The DeFi players cautioned that failure to explore these recommendations would reinforce the status quo, with dire consequences.
The alternative is the status quo: American users continue to be walled off from onchain derivatives markets, innovation continues to take place offshore, and U.S. registrants continue to be denied the ability to modernize their infrastructure.
Why DeFi exemptions request could be delayed But these requests, even if granted, could trigger legal challenges from traditional market participants. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has already sued the CFTC over its approval of Kalshi’s crypto perpetuals (perps).
CME argued that perps are swaps rather than futures, meaning the contracts should fall under its regulatory framework. That stance prompted the CFTC to reconsider how it defines swaps.
Hyperliquid Policy Center founder Jake Chervinsky called the CME lawsuit anti-competitive and a “shocking misjudgement.”
Citadel Securities and the umbrella body representing traditional exchanges have also opposed DeFi exemptions, particularly for tokenized asset trading. They argue regulators should treat every platform as a broker based on its function, not its underlying technology.
In short, DeFi platforms handling U.S. tokenized stocks should meet the same disclosure requirements and legal obligations as traditional exchanges.
Like CME, other traditional market participants could sue the agency if it grants the requested DeFi exemptions, particularly because lawmakers have not codified them and the CLARITY Act’s future remains uncertain.
Final Summary Hyperliquid and Phantom have requested CFTC for formalized exemptions for DeFi front-ends But with the CLARITY Act still in limbo, CME and other traditional players will continue to legally challenge the regulator over such requests.
