Per Hamid R. Moghadam, co-founder and CEO of Prologis, "With a solid pipeline, improving customer sentiment and limited new supply, the logistics market is setting up for the next inflection in rent and occupancy growth — one of the most compelling setups I've seen in 40 years."

The company’s share of building acquisitions amounted to $48 million, with a weighted average stabilized cap rate (excluding other real estate) of 6.2% in the third quarter. Development stabilization aggregated $604 million, with 23.4% being built to suit, while development starts totaled $446 million, with 63.9% being built to suit. Prologis’ total dispositions and contributions were $71 million, with a weighted average stabilized cap rate (excluding land and other real estate) of 5.4%.
However, during the reported quarter, interest expenses jumped 12.2% on a year-over-year basis to $258.3 million.
LiquidityPrologis exited the third quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $1.19 billion, up from $1.07 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2025. Total liquidity amounted to $7.5 billion at the end of the quarter.

Prologis and its co-investment ventures issued an aggregate of $2.3 billion of debt in the reported quarter at a weighted average interest rate of 4.2% and a weighted average term of 5.7 years.
2025 GuidancePrologis increased its 2025 core FFO per share guidance to the range of $5.78-$5.81 from the $5.75-$5.80 range guided earlier.
The company’s average occupancy remains unchanged in the band of 94.75% and 95.25%. Meanwhile, cash same-store NOI (Prologis share) was revised within the range of 4.75% to 5.25% from the previous guidance of 4.25% to 4.75%.
The company has increased its outlook for capital deployment (Prologis share) on development starts to $2.75-$3.25 billion, from the prior range of $2.25-$2.75 billion. Dispositions are estimated at $750-$1000 million, up from the previous range of $500-$750 million. Spending on acquisitions is revised to $1.25-$1.50 billion from the previous range of $1-$1.25 billion.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Prologis has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Non-interest income increased 18% year over year to $630 million, led by higher capital markets fees and wealth fees.

Why Is JB Hunt (JBHT) Down 1.9% Since Last Earnings Report?
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for JB Hunt (JBHT - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 1.9% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is JB Hunt due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Earnings Beat at J.B. Hunt in Q3J.B. Hunt Transport Services reported third-quarter 2025 earnings of $1.76 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47 and improved 18% year over year.
Total operating revenues of $3.05 billion surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.02 billion and were down 0.5% year over year. JBHT’s third-quarter revenue performance was hurt by a 1% and 4% decline in gross revenue per load in Intermodal (JBI) and Truckload (JBT), respectively, a decrease in load volume of 8% and 1% in Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) and Dedicated Contract Services (DCS), respectively, and 8% fewer stops in Final Mile Services (FMS). These items were partially offset by a 3 % improvement in DCS productivity, a 9% increase in revenue per load in ICS and 14% load growth in JBT. Total operating revenues, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, fell less than 1% year over year.
Operating income for the reported quarter increased 8% to $242.7 million owing to structural cost removal as part of the company’s efforts to reduce expenses to serve, improved productivity across the organization and lower purchase transportation costs.
JBHT’s Segmental HighlightsIntermodal division generated quarterly revenues of $1.52 billion (below our estimate of $1.53 billion), down 2% year over year, reflecting the 1% decrease in volume and a 1% decrease in gross revenue per load, resulting from changes in the mix of freight, fuel surcharge revenue, and customer rates. Revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, decreased 1% year over year.
Intermodal volume fell 1% year over year. Transcontinental network loads fell 6%, while eastern network loads increased 6% year over year.
Segmental operating income grew 12% year over year, owing to improved network balance and efficiency improvements associated with the initiative to lower cost to serve. During the reported quarter, a more balanced network resulted in fewer empty container moves and drove efficiency throughout the drayage fleet.
Dedicated Contract Services segment revenues of $864 million (below our estimate of $874.2 million) grew 2% year over year, owing to a 3% improvement in productivity (revenue per truck per week) partially offset by a 1% decline in average trucks.
Segmental operating income increased 9% year over year, owing to higher revenue combined with lower equipment-related expenses, execution on the initiative to lower cost to serve, and the maturing of new business onboarded over the trailing 12 months. These items were partially offset by increases in insurance premiums.
Integrated Capacity Solutions’ revenues decreased 1% year over year to $276 million (our estimate is pegged at $264.2 million). Segment volume fell 8% year over year. Revenue per load grew 9% year over year, owing to increases in both contractual and transactional rates as well as changes in customer mix.
Operating loss in the reported quarter fell to $0.8 million from $3.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating results improved from the prior-year quarter owing to lower personnel-related expenses, reduced technology costs and insurance claims expense.
Truckload revenues grew 10% year over year to $190 million. Excluding fuel surcharge, revenues increased 10% owing to a 14% increase in load volume, partially offset by a 4% decline in gross revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue. Our estimate is pegged at $169.6 million.
At the third-quarter end, total tractors were 2,041 compared with 1,897 a year ago. Trailers in the segment were 12,785 compared with the year-ago quarter’s figure of 13,299.
Segmental operating income decreased 9% year over year owing to higher insurance claims expense and equipment-related costs.
Final Mile Services revenues fell 5% year over year to $206 million (above our estimate of $204.9 million), due to general softness in demand across many of the end markets served and a change in mix between JBHT’s asset and asset-lite businesses within FMS.
Operating income fell 42% year over year owing to a decline in segment revenue and higher insurance claims expense. These were partially offset by lower personnel-related expenses and progress on the initiative to reduce expenses.
Liquidity & Buyback Details of JBHTJ.B. Hunt exited the third quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $52.3 million compared with $50.9 million at the end of the prior quarter. Long-term debt was $902.2 million compared with $1.01 billion at the end of the prior quarter.
In the third quarter of 2025, JBHT purchased almost 1,600,000 shares for $230 million. As of Sept. 30, 2025, JBHT had almost $107 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in estimates revision.
The consensus estimate has shifted 7.86% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresAt this time, JB Hunt has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a B. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a score of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for value investors.

Loans & Deposits Balances DecreaseTotal period-end loans and leases, net of unearned income, were $63.05 billion, which decreased slightly from the end of the previous quarter. Total period-end deposits of $65.52 billion also declined moderately.

Adjusted non-interest expenses are expected to remain flat or rise 2% from the $1.98 billion reported in 2024, due to strong expense management in the first quarter and lower commissions in countercyclical fee businesses.
The net charge-off ratio is anticipated to be 0.15-0.25% bps compared with the 2024 reported figure of 0.18%, reflecting continued credit normalization and the benefit of declining rates.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Bank of America due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Bank of America Q3 Earnings Beat on Solid Trading & IB PerformanceBank of America’s third-quarter 2025 earnings of $1.06 per share handily surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 94 cents. The bottom line compared favorably with earnings of 81 cents in the prior-year quarter.
Behind Headline NumbersBank of America recorded an improvement in trading numbers for the 14th straight quarter. Sales and trading revenues, excluding net DVA, grew 8.3% year over year to $5.35 billion. Fixed-income trading fees increased 4.6%, while equity trading income rose 13.7%. We had projected sales and trading revenues (excluding net DVA) of $5.06 billion.
Unlike the previous quarter, the IB performance was robust this time. IB fees (in the Global Banking division) of $1.16 billion increased 47.5% year over year. Equity and debt underwriting income increased 47% and 42.2%, respectively. Advisory revenues grew 52.7%.
Improvement in trading and IB fees, along with higher net interest income, drove Bank of America’s total revenues. NII grew on a year-over-year basis on higher interest income related to Global Markets activity, fixed-rate asset repricing and higher deposit and loan balances, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates.
While provisions declined in the quarter on a year-over-year basis, non-interest expenses increased, which hurt the results to some extent.
The company’s net income applicable to common shareholders grew 26% from the prior-year quarter to $8.04 billion. Our estimate for the metric was $6.85 billion.
Revenues Improve, Expenses RiseNet revenues were $28.09 billion, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $27.28 billion. Also, the top line increased 10.8% from the prior-year quarter.
NII (fully taxable-equivalent basis) grew 9% year over year to $15.39 billion. Our estimate for NII was $15.29 billion. Net interest yield expanded 9 basis points to 2.01%. We expected the metric to be 1.99%.
Non-interest income increased 13% from the prior-year quarter to $12.86 billion. This was driven by higher total fees and commissions. We had projected non-interest income of $11.66 billion.
Non-interest expenses were $17.34 billion, up 5.2% year over year. The rise was due to an increase in almost all cost components, except for professional fees. Our estimate for non-interest expenses was $17.29 billion.
The efficiency ratio was 61.39%, down from 64.64% in the year-ago quarter. A fall in the efficiency ratio indicates an improvement in profitability.
Credit Quality ImprovesProvision for credit losses was $1.30 billion, down 16% from the prior-year quarter. We estimated the metric to be $1.58 billion.
Net charge-offs declined 10.9% year over year to $1.37 billion. As of Sept. 30, 2025, non-performing loans and leases as a percentage of total loans were 0.46%, down from 0.53% in the prior-year period.
Capital Position StrongBook value per share as of Sept. 30, 2025, was $37.95 compared with $35.37 a year ago. Tangible book value per share was $28.39, up from $26.25 a year ago.
At the end of September 2025, the common equity tier 1 capital ratio (advanced approach) was 13.1% compared with 13.5% as of Sept. 30, 2024.
Share Repurchase UpdateIn the reported quarter, the company repurchased shares worth $5.3 billion.
GuidanceManagement expects NII (FTE basis) to be $15.6-$15.7 billion in fourth-quarter 2025, suggesting 8% year-over-year growth.
In 2026, the year-over-year rise in NII is expected to be 5-7%.
In the fourth quarter of this year, expenses are expected to be roughly in line with that reported in the third quarter.
In the near term, total net charge-offs are not expected to change much, given the steady consumer delinquency trends, stability of C&I and reductions in CRE exposures.
Over time, the efficiency ratio is expected in the low-60% range.
Investor Day Medium-Term TargetsBank of America’s chairman and CEO, Brian Moynihan, provided various medium-term targets at the company’s investor day.
NII (FTE) is expected to grow seeing a CAGR of 5-7%, with loans growing 5% or more and deposits rising 4%. An operating leverage of 200-300 bps is expected. The efficiency ratio is anticipated to be 55-59%. With expected EPS growth of 12% in the medium term, the ROTCE is projected to be 16-18%.
The company also provided medium-term targets for its various business divisions.
In the Consumer Banking unit, Bank of America targets 75 million clients, $20 billion in annual net income, 40% efficiency ratio and 40% return on average allocated capital. It expects card loans to see a CAGR of 5%.
In the Global Wealth & Investment Management division, revenues are expected to grow almost twice as fast as expenses, generating positive operating leverage and margin expansion. The average allocated capital is expected to improve to 30%.
In Merrill Wealth Management, 4-5% of annual organic growth is expected. Annual fee-based client flows are targeted at $135-$150 billion, and the pre-tax margin is expected to increase 4-6 percentage points.
For the Private Bank, $1 trillion in client balances, $5.5 billion in annual revenues and a 500-bps improvement in the pre-tax margin are expected for the medium term.
Within the Global Banking division, a 30% local client share is expected in Business Banking, along with a loan and deposit CAGR of 5-6%.
In Global Commercial Banking, the medium-term targets include growth of 3 percentage points in market share, 50% new economy revenue rally to $1.7 billion, international revenue improvement of 80% to $2.2 billion, investment banking boosting fee share by 2-4 percentage points to 15-17% and a 2-percentage-point workplace benefits client penetration to 14%.
Global Corporate Banking and Global Investment Banking revenues are anticipated to witness mid-single-digit CAGR.
In the Global Markets unit, $27 billion in segment revenues, $8 billion in net income, 15% return on assets and a 40% pre-tax margin are expected.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Bank of America has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with a B. However, the stock was allocated a score of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Notably, Bank of America has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerBank of America is part of the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry. Over the past month, Goldman Sachs (GS - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 6.3%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended September 2025 more than a month ago.
Goldman reported revenues of $15.18 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +19.6%. EPS of $12.25 for the same period compares with $8.40 a year ago.
Goldman is expected to post earnings of $11.65 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -2.5%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +3.9%.
Goldman has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of F.

Operator
Greetings, and welcome to the Conifex Timber Inc. Third Quarter 2025 Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Ken Shields, Chairman and CEO. Thank you, you may begin.
Kenneth Shields
Chairman & CEO
Okay. Well, good morning, everyone, and welcome to our call covering our third quarter and 9 months results for 2025. Our President and Chief Operating Officer, Andrew McLellan, on a lumber trade mission, and he's in Korea and with the difference in time zones and schedules, he's unable to join us. But Chief Financial Officer, Trevor Pruden, is here with me, and both of us look forward to responding to any questions shareholders and analysts may have after we run through these prepared remarks.
Let's quickly deal with a housekeeping item. We will be making forward-looking statements and references to non-IFRS measures, and therefore, call your attention to the warning statement that are disclosed on Pages 1 and 2 of the MD&A that we released earlier this morning.
In the third quarter of 2025, the negative EBITDA we reported of $16.5 million (sic) [ $16.6 million ] was impacted by a onetime noncash charge of $12 million for duty deposit underpayments on 2023 lumber exports to the U.S. Excluding this onetime item, our regular EBITDA was negative by just over $4.5 million after writing down our quarter end inventories by $1.2 million. After deducting the positive EBITDA we achieved in the opening 6 months of 2025, our regular EBITDA was negative by $2.8 million for the 9-month period. That year-to-date EBITDA loss represents a major improvement from the loss of $11.5 million we reported in the year earlier 9-month period.

FirstEnergy Foundation Energizing the Future of STEM, Electrical Trades
Vocational school, community colleges receiving grants
, /PRNewswire/ -- To inspire the next generation of electric industry professionals, the FirstEnergy Foundation is donating $55,000 to New Jersey educational programs focused on electrical trades and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programming. The grants are part of more than $5.5 million in community support distributed across FirstEnergy's service area to date in 2025.
JCP&L employees share their experiences with students in OCVTS's electrical trades program.
Five vocational school and community college programs, located in communities served by FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE) electric company Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), are directly benefiting from the donations.
Filling A Future Need
The FirstEnergy Foundation grants will support a variety of electrical education and STEM programs that benefit students at all levels, from elementary school through college.
Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President of New Jersey: "We live in an increasingly connected, high-tech society. We need to prepare the next generation to meet those demands, whether they are working on electrical systems, flying drones or engineering the next great device. STEM is a vital part of the future. New Jersey has been at the center of innovation since the invention of the light bulb, and we're proud to help continue that great tradition in the communities we serve."
Funding The Future
Programs receiving grants include:
Brookdale Community College Foundation Trust, Monmouth County ($20,000): Funding will enhance seven electrical engineering lab stations used by more than 230 students for courses such as electronics, digital logic, industrial automation and embedded systems, circuit design and analysis, signal generation and measurement, safe power delivery and adjustable voltage testing.

CoinShares Altcoin ETF Draws Flows Amid Crypto Rally
The CoinShares Altcoins ETF (DIME) has attracted $3.08 million in flows since its October launch, offering investors a regulated pathway to access alternative cryptocurrencies that now represent more than 40% of the digital asset market.
According to the fund’s prospectus, DIME provides equal-weighted exposure to 10 Layer 1 blockchain protocols. These include Solana, Avalanche, and Cardano through investments in exchange-traded products. The fund’s management fee of 0.95% is currently being waived for assets up to $1 billion through September 2026.
DIME has gained 5.5% over the past week, according to ETF Database data.
The fund invests in exchange-traded products that hold altcoins rather than directly purchasing the underlying digital assets, according to the prospectus. This structure allows the fund to offer diversified exposure while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Recent research from CoinShares emphasized that altcoins resemble early-stage technology start-ups more than traditional currencies. Most projects launch through initial offerings that raise funding similar to venture capital rounds.
Altcoin ETF Strategy
The fund tracks the CoinShares-Compass Crypto Altcoin Index. This index which rebalances quarterly and selects constituents based on liquidity, trading history, and custodial support, according to the prospectus. Current holdings include Polkadot, Near Protocol, Cosmos, Aptos, SUI, Toncoin, and SEI.
The research noted that altcoins appeal to investors seeking diversification beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. This opens opportunities in decentralized finance, gaming, and cross-chain infrastructure that Bitcoin does not directly address.
Total value locked — the amount of capital users commit to a project — along with active wallet growth and developer activity serve as key evaluation metrics for altcoin projects, according to the research. These indicators help reveal whether a project is building real utility or is driven primarily by speculation.
The research noted that altcoins functionDJ/C more like venture investments. They carry high risk but offering potential for outsized returns compared to Bitcoin.
The website Blockspot.io lists more than 17,000 dead coins — failed cryptocurrency projects that lost value or were abandoned — as of September 2025, according to the CoinShares research. Altcoins included in investment products such as ETFs undergo regulatory review, which the research said can help investors avoid these failures and hedge against scams.
Despite the risks, the altcoin ecosystem now rivals Bitcoin in size. Thousands of projects compete across decentralized finance, gaming platforms, and infrastructure networks, with their combined market capitalization representing more than 40% of the total digital asset market as of September 2025, according to the research.

PGNY vs. HQY: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?
Investors interested in stocks from the Medical Services sector have probably already heard of Progyny (PGNY - Free Report) and HealthEquity (HQY - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.
There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
Right now, Progyny is sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while HealthEquity has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). This means that PGNY's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.
PGNY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.82, while HQY has a forward P/E of 25.75. We also note that PGNY has a PEG ratio of 0.83. 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. HQY currently has a PEG ratio of 1.19.
Another notable valuation metric for PGNY is its P/B ratio of 3.75. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, HQY has a P/B of 3.99.
These metrics, and several others, help PGNY earn a Value grade of B, while HQY has been given a Value grade of D.
PGNY has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than HQY, so it seems like value investors will conclude that PGNY is the superior option right now.

IFS vs. BX: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?
Investors interested in stocks from the Financial - Miscellaneous Services sector have probably already heard of Intercorp Financial Services Inc. (IFS - Free Report) and Blackstone Inc. (BX - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We'll need to take a closer look.
Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The proven Zacks Rank emphasizes companies with positive estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight stocks with specific traits.
Right now, Intercorp Financial Services Inc. is sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Blackstone Inc. has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). The Zacks Rank favors stocks that have recently seen positive revisions to their earnings estimates, so investors should rest assured that IFS has an improving earnings outlook. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.
Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value.
IFS currently has a forward P/E ratio of 8.45, while BX has a forward P/E of 26.17. We also note that IFS has a PEG ratio of 0.35. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. BX currently has a PEG ratio of 1.11.
Another notable valuation metric for IFS is its P/B ratio of 1.36. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, BX has a P/B of 5.17.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to IFS's Value grade of A and BX's Value grade of D.
IFS sticks out from BX in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that IFS is the better option right now.

Key Takeaways AVGO and VRT both reflect AI stocks that pay dividends. While yields are low, the obtained AI exposure helps bridge the gap. Both companies are seeing their sales surge thanks to strong demand.
Dividends come with many great perks, with the payouts essentially reflecting a form of ‘payday’ in the market. Technology sector stocks are often overlooked by income-focused investors, as these companies commonly use spare cash to fuel further growth.
But perhaps to the surprise of some, several stocks involved closely in the AI trade – Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) and Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) – shell out dividend payments. For those interested in getting paid with some AI exposure, let’s take a closer look at each.
Broadcom Posts Record RevenueBroadcom, currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), has quickly entered the AI race, evolving a broad portfolio of technologies to extend its leadership in enabling next-generation AI infrastructure. Shares currently yield 0.8% annually, with the company sporting a shareholder-friendly 13.3% five-year annualized dividend growth rate.
The stock has long been a favorite among those seeking tech exposure paired with paydays, with the company’s strong cash-generating abilities allowing it to consistently reward shareholders in a big way over its history. Below is a chart illustrating its dividends/share paid on an annual basis.
Please note that the final value in the chart is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis.

Free cash flow of $6.4 billion throughout the latest period showed 44% YoY growth and reflected a quarterly record. Below is a chart illustrating AVGO’s free cash flow on a quarterly basis.

In addition, AI revenue of $4.4 billion during its latest period showed significant momentum, rising 46% year-over-year. It’s more than reasonable to expect strong momentum again within its AI offerings for its Q3 release expected in early September, with AVGO guiding for $5.1 billion in AI sales for the period.
Analysts have shown bullishness for the upcoming release, with forecasted sales of $15.8 billion reflecting 34% YoY growth from the same period last year.

Vertiv Benefits from Data Center Buildout Vertiv, a current Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), provides services for data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial facilities with a portfolio of power, cooling, and IT infrastructure solutions and services.
Analysts have dialed their current fiscal year EPS expectations higher over the past year thanks to bullish results stemming from strong demand, with the current $3.82 Zacks Consensus EPS estimate suggesting 35% YoY growth and up 15% over the past year.

While shares currently yield a modest 0.1% annually, the stock still reflects a strong play for those seeking a combination of growth and yield. Below is a chart illustrating the company’s sales on a quarterly basis.

Bottom Line
Dividends offer significant benefits for investors, providing a passive income stream and the opportunity to maximize returns through dividend reinvestment.
Although both dividend-paying tech stocks above – Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) and Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) – aren’t high-yield, the bullish outlook for these companies’ AI offerings can’t be overlooked by income-focused investors seeking the join the frenzy.

Pi Network News: 60 Million Pi Users May Soon Join Stellar Ecosystem as Price Weakens
Pi Coin (PI) fell more than 3 percent today to $0.216, continuing its slow and frustrating downtrend. Even with a huge global community and growing talk about real utility, the token is still stuck in a tight range with no strong breakout yet.
Pi Price Stuck Below Heavy ResistanceExperts say Pi is trading inside a small right-shoulder pattern, which usually builds pressure before a bigger move. Right now, the price is sitting just below a key breakout zone, stopping any real rally from forming.
The first resistance sits between $0.245 and $0.255, where sellers keep stepping in. Above that, the main neckline is at $0.29 to $0.30. A clean move above this area would finally signal a shift in momentum.
Below the price, support around $0.215 to $0.220 has held for days. If that level breaks, traders are watching $0.19 next. The major swing low remains $0.152, which would invalidate the current structure if hit.
What Pi Needs for a Bullish TurnDespite the recent weakness, analysts still see potential for a bullish reversal. For that to happen, Pi must stay above $0.22, break through the first resistance zone, and reclaim the neckline at $0.29 to $0.30.
If it truly clears that barrier, the next targets become $0.33 and $0.36, as price usually moves quickly above the neckline. But if Pi drops below $0.21, the bears take back control.
Market Sentiment Cools as Pi Loses MomentumOver the past week, Pi Coin has struggled to attract new buyers. With crypto sentiment weakening and trading activity fading, PI has slipped into a quiet phase. Volatility is low, but pressure continues to build as the market waits for a catalyst.
Stellar Sparks New Utility Buzz for Pi’s 60 Million UsersWhile the price stays flat, the Pi ecosystem grabbed attention today after Stellar highlighted the potential of Pi’s massive community. Stellar said more than 60 million Pi users are “sitting at the edge of real crypto utility,” suggesting they could soon transition into active use cases on the Stellar network.
Stellar explained that Pi users could eventually join DeFi, explore real-world assets, and participate in real crypto applications for the first time. A new onboarding model aims to help Pi’s passive miners become active contributors across the Stellar ecosystem. Stellar called it a quiet shift, but a powerful one.
Pi Faces a Critical MomentPi is now squeezed tightly under a major neckline, and a decisive move is getting close. A breakout above $0.30 would give bulls strong momentum, while a fall below $0.21 would shift the entire pattern in favor of the bear

This $2.5 Billion BlackRock Fund Is Coming to Binance and BNB Chain
In brief
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund will be accepted as collateral on Binance.
The product’s access is also expanding to BNB Chain.
BUIDL is now available on eight blockchains.
BlackRock’s $2.5 billion USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) is expanding to Binance and BNB Chain, Securitize said in a press release published on Thursday.
The Miami-based Securitize, which is planning a public offering, said that BUIDL will be accepted as collateral for trades at the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, describing the asset backed by U.S. Treasuries as a tool for institutional traders.
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund debuted last March, and the tokenized money market fund has expanded to eight blockchains since, now including the Binance-backed network that dates back to 2019.
“We’re continuing to bring regulated real-world assets on-chain while unlocking new forms of utility that were previously out of reach,” co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo said in a statement.
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, which has around 93 holders, offers a yield. Over the past week, that has averaged 3.7% on an annualized basis, according to crypto data provider RWA.XYZ.
Binance’s institutional clients have been asking the exchange for more interest-bearing assets that maintain a stable price, Catherine Chen, head of VIP and institutional at Binance, said in a statement.
Chen added that BUIDL was integrated into Ceffu, a Binance-owned custody service, which drew U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission scrutiny in 2023 over its ability to potentially control assets that belonged to Binance’s U.S. affiliate.
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, who pleaded guilty to violating U.S. laws against money laundering in 202, was pardoned by President Trump in October. The move has drawn pushback among crypto U.S. Democratic lawmakers. Still, BlackRock’s BUIDL fund represents the latest sign of how Wall Street firms are embracing the exchange’s services and products.
This year, retail brokerage Robinhood, as well as crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, have listed BNB, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko.
The coin changed hands around $924 on Friday, representing a 3.4% fall over the past day. The asset hit an all-time high of $1,370 last month, while rising 48% over the past year, but has fallen in recent weeks alongside Bitcoin and most of the market.

stash.
These rumors about Strategy’s Bitcoin sales caused concern in the crypto community, but Michael Saylor and others have clarified that the claims are false.
Strategy Is Still HODLing Bitcoin
Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy has accumulated a total of 641,692 BTC, acquired at $47.54 billion with an average purchase price of $74,079 per coin across all acquisitions.
The most recent of its acquisitions happened less than a week ago, as the firm added 487 BTC to its already massive stash. The company has about $20.29 billion in unrealized gains.
It is worth noting that Strategy built this Bitcoin holding over five years and never at any point indicated that it will offload its stash.
Suddenly, a post appeared on X claiming that the Saylor-led company had started selling part of its Bitcoin holdings. One user, Rekt Fencer, alleged that Strategy had already sold 33,000 BTC and was continuing to sell more, supposedly totaling about $3.2 billion.
🚨 BREAKING:
MICHAEL SAYLOR’S STRATEGY JUST STARTED SELLING BITCOIN.
For the first time ever they fell below 1 NAV.

The X post highlighted that Strategy had fallen below 1 Net Asset Value (NAV), for the first time ever.
To this news, Saylor responded “HODL,” affirming in another post that the firm is buying more BTC.
We are ₿uying.pic.twitter.com/6g11E9G6pO

While some X community members are still in panic mode, others are quite confident that Strategy would not make such a move.
Bitcoin Expresses Gloomy Outlook
Bitcoin price has been on a gradual decline for the last few days. On November 13, the coin dropped from above $100,000 to trade at $98,377, triggering $657.88 million in cryptocurrency liquidations.
Of this crypto liquidation, long positions accounted for $533.57 million, leaving short traders with losses of around $124.31 million.
Along the line, Bitcoin ETFs saw drastic outflows with short-term traders dominating selling, while long-term holders remained steady.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs clocked in $870 million in net outflows, marking the second‑largest daily outflow on record. The BTC price briefly fell to $96,000 and has continued to decline since then.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price is currently at $95,334.63, with a 6.95% dip over the last 24 hours.

New Uniswap Feature Aims to Improve Token Price Discovery With Auctions
Uniswap unveils the Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) model to democratize token launches.
The system runs auctions block-by-block and automatically assigns liquidity at the final clearing price.
Aztec collaborates as the first project to use this technology, integrating privacy with ZK Passport.
Uniswap seeks to redefine how initial token markets form on the blockchain. This Thursday, the decentralized exchange giant unveiled its “Continuous Clearing Auctions” model, a permissionless system designed to run customizable auctions on Uniswap v4.
The official announcement indicates that with this new protocol, they seek to inject transparency, fairness, and stability into the earliest and most critical stages of a digital asset’s life. The main objective is to solve a token launch landscape that Uniswap itself describes as fragmented and opaque, where price discovery is often flawed by closed-door deals, access restrictions, and poor initial liquidity.
The exchange is targeting pricing and bidding; furthermore, they aim for settlement to occur entirely on-chain, eliminating intermediaries and hidden negotiations.
Innovation in Liquidity and Market Fairness
The process for auctions on Uniswap v4 is technically sophisticated. The block-level design distributes tokens gradually, so bidders can set maximum prices but receive allocations only when the market clears below their limit. This structure is vital to minimize sniping (attacks by bots buying fast to sell high) and encourages more organic early participation, helping the clearing price converge toward a fair value.
Projects deciding to launch via this system can configure key parameters such as token amount, starting price, and duration. Once the auction concludes, all proceeds are automatically used to seed a liquidity pool on Uniswap v4 at the final price, creating an immediate and liquid secondary market.
Aztec collaborated on building this technology and will be the first project to execute an auction using the system. Additionally, the launch includes an optional module called ZK Passport, which allows for private yet verifiable participation, combining confidentiality with blockchain transparency.
Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation have proposed activating a “fee switch,” while DeFi protocols are experiencing a rebound in economic activity, leading the sector’s fee recovery toward $600 million. With the new auctions on Uniswap v4, the platform seeks not only to scale but to sustain long-term liquidity in its upcoming version.

Shibarium, the layer-2 scaling solution of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) blockchain, experienced a sharp spike in its daily transaction count. Despite the Shibarium transaction spike, SHIB is still trading low amid a broader market downturn.
Shibarium transactions surgeRecent data from Shibariumscan shows a notable uptick in daily transactions, reaching a 14-day high. As of Nov. 14, 2025, daily transactions climbed to around 7,620, up from a low of 4,480 the previous day.
The latest rally comes after a calm period in Shibarium transactions, since October 2025. As revealed in a U.Today report, Shibarium transactions registered a historical daily low on Oct. 29.
On this day, Shibarium only recorded 2,980 daily transactions. This decline signaled that users withdrew from engaging with the layer 2 despite assurances from the SHIB team.
In contrast, the latest spike in transactions aligns with broader network milestones. Shibarium crossed 14 million blocks on Nov. 10, with total blocks climbing to 14,027,952.
This implies Shibarium added more than 5,000 blocks in a matter of days. Consequently, the total transactions surged to 1,568,692,765.
Currently, the total active addresses stand at 272,756,428 272, indicating renewed user engagement. However, this recent transaction spike is not an all-time high but a recovery signal after a rough October.
Another key factor driving the uptick includes recent network security upgrades. The Shiba Inu team has disclosed that Shibarium is undergoing an RPC Migration Network upgrade. This security upgrade will help to boost a stronger, more distributed network built for long-term reliability.

SHIB price still bleeding Meanwhile, the price of the ecosystem token, SHIB, has not reflected the surge in Shibarium transactions.
SHIB is currently traded at around $0.0000092, down 5.8% over the previous day, with a market cap of $5.4 billion. However, the trading volume increased by 25.6% to $205.8 million, suggesting increased market activity.
If volume remains high or climbs higher, the SHIB price could see a bullish turnaround. It is important to note that the recent SHIB price decline comes amid a general downturn in the crypto market.
Also note that high transactions do not always correlate directly to an increase in price. With 589 trillion SHIB tokens in circulation, even aggressive burns would not drastically deflate the supply soon. Price remains hype-driven, vulnerable to meme coin volatility.

Strategy dismisses Bitcoin sell-off rumors, doubles down on accumulation
Key Takeaways
What sparked the Strategy sell-off panic?
Blockchain trackers flagged transfers of up to 58,000 BTC from Strategy-linked wallets on Friday, triggering viral rumors of the company’s “first sale in two years”.
Is Strategy actually selling Bitcoin?
No. The company confirmed that the transfers were routine movements between custody providers, such as Fidelity and Coinbase, for operational efficiency.
Strategy crushed viral sell-off rumors on Friday after massive Bitcoin wallet movements triggered panic across crypto markets and fueled a broader sell-off that pushed BTC below $100,000.
CEO Michael Saylor went straight to CNBC and X to set the record straight: “We are not selling. We are accelerating purchases.”
Source: TradingView
The FUD that rocked Bitcoin markets
The chaos erupted early Friday when ‘on-chain analysts’ spotted transfers of up to 58,000 BTC from wallets linked to Strategy, the corporate Bitcoin giant formerly known as MicroStrategy.
Social media exploded with claims of “Saylor cracks under pressure” and “first sell in two years.”
The timing looked terrible. Bitcoin had just shed over $1 trillion in market value this week, testing the psychologically critical $100,000 level. Traders assumed Strategy was cutting losses.
What actually happened
Strategy wasn’t selling; it was reorganizing. The company confirmed the transfers shuffled Bitcoin between custody providers for operational efficiency.
According to Arkham data, Strategy moved over 43,000 BTC worth $4.26 billion to over 100 different addresses. However, this does not mean they were sold.
Holdings remain unchanged at 438,000 BTC, valued at roughly $42.2 billion, according to data from Arkham.
More importantly, Strategy keeps buying. Last week, the company purchased 487 BTC for $49.9 million. The week before, it added 397 BTC for $45.6 million.
The accumulation machine
Strategy funds purchases through convertible debt, preferred shares, and equity raises, never by dipping into its cash reserves. Annual financing costs run near $689 million, covered by fresh capital.
Analysts note Bitcoin would need to crash below $15,000, an 85% drop, before Strategy faces liquidation pressure.
Familiar pattern
Early November saw similar panic over claims of a “$5 billion dump to Binance” that turned out to be wallet consolidation. BlackRock’s ETF faced identical rumors last week.
Strategy stock [MSTR] dipped 6% to $195 on Friday, but its premium to Bitcoin holdings compressed to just 1.2x—markets see through the noise.
As Bitcoin hovers near $98,000, Saylor and Strategy appear not to be selling, but stacking.

The Graph Integrates Token API With TRON to Enhance Web3 Development
The Graph has integrated the TRON network and activated both the Token API and Substreams, a toolkit that redefines how teams access and organize on-chain data.
The Token API delivers ready-to-use data and connects apps with DEXs like JustSwap and SunSwap, eliminating the need for custom indexers and cutting weeks of development.
Substreams gives developers full control over data flows and supports high-performance workloads, a key requirement for a TRON network that moves over $25B per day.
The Graph added TRON to its data infrastructure and enabled two tools that will transform how teams access on-chain information: the Token API and Substreams.
What does the Token API do?
The Token API provides ready-to-use data and removes the need to build and maintain custom indexers. Developers can instantly retrieve balances, prices, swaps, and DEX activity, and connect to platforms such as JustSwap, SunSwap, and SunPump without creating pipelines or running additional servers.
This integration shortens development timelines for products that depend on critical data. A wallet can display prices and real-time activity without performing its own calculations. A block explorer can rebuild address and contract activity without running indexing processes. A lending protocol can monitor collateral and liquidity without internal infrastructure. Every Token API endpoint is production-ready, reducing weeks of engineering to a simple connection.
What does Substreams do?
Substreams serves a different purpose. It targets teams that need full control over data processing and offers TRON-specific modules. Developers can define how balances, transactions, and price data are processed and decide how those datasets are stored within their systems.
The tool is designed for demanding workloads: real-time analytics, AI engines, gaming economies, DePIN infrastructures, or trading strategies that require thousands of events per second. Institutions can also run Substreams in their own environments and customize modules to meet audit and internal reporting requirements without relying on external services.
The Graph Stabilizes TRON’s Data Flow
TRON’s metrics explain why this integration was necessary. The network moves more than $25 billion per day, maintains over 345 million active accounts, and hosts more than $76 billion in USDT. This volume requires an infrastructure capable of delivering consistent, stable, and fast data — something homegrown indexers cannot sustain at scale. The Graph fills that gap and stabilizes data access across the entire network.
Documentation for both the Token API and Substreams is already available. The Graph team, led by Pinax, will expand support for additional DEXs and assets depending on ecosystem demand. The integration allows developers to build on TRON without worrying about the data layer and to focus their time on application logic.

Alderney Eyes Bitcoin Mining To Become The Next ‘BTC Island'
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
At Bitcoin Amsterdam on 13 November, Alderney politician Edward Hill delivered a direct pitch to the BTC community: help turn his tiny Channel Island into a Bitcoin-first jurisdiction, anchored in renewable energy and a pro-BTC regulatory stance.
Hill opened by situating Alderney politically and geographically. “I’m from the little island of Alderney, which you may know are sister islands, Jersey and Guernsey that are traditional finance centers,” he said. “We are a Channel Island, but we are semi-independent. We are part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and we’re located 8 miles from France. We are a self-governing jurisdiction. We’re [a] British crown dependency, but we’re in partial fiscal union with our sister island in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.”
From there, he moved quickly to why Alderney is now courting Bitcoin. Hill stressed that the government is actively seeking a strategic partner from within the ecosystem: “Why do we think Alderney could be attractive for potential Bitcoin entrepreneurs? We’re looking for somebody to take us on this journey.” He added later, “We are not Bitcoin specialists. I am from the government of the States of Alderney, but we are here to listen and learn.”
A core part of his pitch is that Alderney already knows how to build digital industries under regulation. “Most importantly, we already have an established e-gaming industry which produces a GDP around about 84 billion million,” he said, tying that to an institutional template: “We want to mirror all these success in e-gaming where we have our own e-gaming commission and we have professional staff who handle that […] and ditto we’ve done the same with our renewables as well. So what we’re looking to do is extend that to Bitcoin.”
Hill repeatedly framed Alderney as a flexible, low-friction jurisdiction for BTC companies and individuals. “We’re small and [a] stable government and we have a big appetite to diversify our economy,” he said. “We have an open canvas for you to match the business lifestyle requirements that we know that you’re looking for and have been unable to find without having to travel probably thousands of miles to more remote offshore centers.”
He hammered home Alderney’s fiscal offer in plain terms. “We’re also very attractive from a tax point of view. No corporation tax, no capital gains tax, no VAT, no inheritance tax, and personal income tax of only 20%. I’m sure you all like that.” On top of that, the island imposes no wealth-based hurdles for newcomers: “We have no financial entry requirements for residency or house purchase. So you can come, you can buy a house. You do not have to pay vast fortunes in early buying expensive houses.”
The most distinctive element, however, was energy. Hill linked Alderney’s major natural asset directly to Bitcoin mining: “Our island is located in one of the strongest tidal flows in the world and we are looking to at some stage with our exceptional tidal flow […] to link Bitcoin mining with renewable energy.” He added a striking visual twist by pointing to Alderney’s Victorian coastal defences: “These Victorian forts are already waiting for somebody to come and maybe set up some kind of Bitcoin community entrepreneur and also potentially to store Bitcoin mining systems.”
On regulation, Hill emphasised that Alderney sits under Guernsey oversight but is actively engaging to make the regime fit BTC better. “We also are regulated by the Guernsey Financial Service Commission and they’re open to engage with us and with you about making the regulatory framework more usable for Bitcoin.” He drew a clear boundary around the initiative: “We will only be working with Bitcoin, no other asset.”
He then outlined the scope of what Alderney is looking to build with the right partner: “Attracting new Bitcoin businesses to our island […] establishment of [a] Bitcoin research engineering campus, some kind of business park, a potential neo bank.” Education and values are part of that package. Hill said the island wants “public and government Bitcoin education to teach our community all about what you’re really about to dispel some of the skepticisms and rumors.”
For that, he insisted, Alderney needs a deeply involved counterpart, not just registrations. “We’re looking for a production of some kind of strategic document… someone who could implement a plan and provide local education in Bitcoin and capacity building and also execute that plan with mutual agreement from ourselves as the States of Alderney.”
Alderney’s gambit also places it in a small but growing club of islands that have tried to brand around BTC: the Isle of Man has long been marketed as “Bitcoin Island” as it attracted exchanges and payment startups under a bespoke regulatory regime, while Boracay in the Philippines has been promoted as “BTC Island” on the back of Lightning-based merchant adoption.
Malta, for its part, styled itself as the “Blockchain Island,” and Madeira has leaned into its reputation as one of Europe’s most Bitcoin-friendly islands—context that Alderney now aims to update with its own, explicitly Bitcoin-only, renewables-driven twist.
At press time, BTC traded at $96,799.

The Bitwise XRP ETF may be the next XRP ETF to launch, and it might launch sooner than the expected November 19 date as the SEC fast-tracks the process upon resumption.
Cover image via U.Today
Following the successful launch of the Canary XRP ETF, which has made the strongest ETF debut with the highest first-day trading volume, the XRP community is now looking up to the next as the SEC releases a new update.
On Friday, Eric Balchunas, a Senior ETF Analyst, shared updates on new guidance released by the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance to quietly speed up the filings for unsettled crypto ETF issuers.
While the SEC had only opened recently after the prolonged government shutdown, the move comes as part of the SEC’s efforts to effectively deal with the “900-plus registration statements” that piled up during the government shutdown.
HOT Stories
All eyes on Bitwise XRP ETFIIt is important to note that issuers of potential crypto ETFs had continued to submit their filings even during the government shutdown that kept the SEC’s office closed.
As such, this has created a massive backlog for the SEC upon its resumption; hence, it is now looking to make the job easy by allowing issuers who had already submitted their paperwork correctly to request a much faster review.
Thus, Eric emphasized that the development will favor crypto ETFs that did not file the 8-A form earlier, as they can now accelerate the effectiveness of their applications, bypassing the usual 20–40 day wait period.
You Might Also Like
Following this news, Eric has made a strong guess that Bitwise’s XRP ETF is likely next up, as its filings align suitably with the new SEC approach.
While this suggests that XRP investors might see the next ETF launch much faster than initially projected, the XRP community is optimistic that the launch of the Bitwise XRP ETF will come earlier than the expected November 19.
Notably, the move has further raised optimism about XRP’s performance for November, as recent events have projected November to be a big month for XRP.
Although XRP has consistently traded sideways since the beginning of the month, investors have remained resilient about its long-term price outlook.

‘We Are Buying': Michael Saylor Confirms Strategy (MSTR) Is Aggressively Buying Bitcoin
Amid a wave of panic in crypto markets, rumors surfaced Friday that Strategy (MSTR) was selling its bitcoin holdings as both BTC and MSTR stock tumbled.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor quickly dismissed the chatter, telling CNBC, “We are buying bitcoin,” and promising that the company’s next purchases will be reported Monday. He added that Strategy is “accelerating [its] purchases” and suggested investors could be “pleasantly surprised” by recent activity.
The rumors stemmed from on-chain movements showing BTC leaving company-controlled wallets, coinciding with a brief drop in bitcoin below $95,000, its lowest level in roughly six months.
Saylor, however, maintained confidence, saying, “There is no truth to this rumor.”
MSTR shares fell under $200 in pre-market and early trading, down nearly 35% year-to-date, prompting concerns that the company might liquidate bitcoin to stabilize its balance sheet.
Saylor advised investors to maintain perspective amid the volatility. “Zoom out,” he said, noting that bitcoin was trading in the $55,000-$65,000 range just over a year ago. Even after recent declines, BTC at $95,000 “is still showing a pretty great return.”
He added that Strategy has “put in a pretty strong base of support around here” and expressed comfort that bitcoin could rally from current levels.
Strategy now holds more than 641,000 BTC, valued at roughly $22.5 billion, with an average purchase price of around $74,000 per coin. The company’s market capitalization has fallen below the value of its bitcoin holdings, pushing its market-to-net-asset value (mNAV) below 1, a metric often cited as evidence that the stock may be undervalued.
Despite these numbers, Saylor emphasized that Strategy’s balance sheet is “pretty stable” and only fractionally levered, with no imminent debt trigger points.
Bitcoin is always a good investment
On long-term prospects, Saylor remained bullish, stating, “Bitcoin is always a good investment,” provided investors are prepared for volatility and hold a time horizon of at least four years.
He compared BTC’s performance to traditional assets, noting that bitcoin has averaged roughly 50% annual growth over the past five years, outperforming gold and the S&P.
He also contrasted investment approaches, suggesting that those seeking exposure to digital credit instruments might prefer other products, while investors aiming for long-term ownership of “digital capital” should focus on bitcoin.
Even as market jitters continue and institutional outflows impact prices, Strategy is doubling down. “We’re always buying,” Saylor said, signaling that the firm intends to use market dips to expand its bitcoin holdings rather than sell.
Saylor: Trillions in Bitcoin
In a wide-ranging interview with Bitcoin Magazine earlier this year, Saylor outlined an ambitious vision to build a trillion-dollar Bitcoin balance sheet, using it as a foundation to reshape global finance.
He envisions accumulating $1 trillion in Bitcoin and growing it 20–30% annually, leveraging long-term appreciation to create a massive store of digital collateral.
From this base, Saylor plans to issue Bitcoin-backed credit at yields significantly higher than traditional fiat systems, potentially 2–4% above corporate or sovereign debt, offering safer, over-collateralized alternatives.
He anticipates this could revitalize credit markets, equity indexes, and corporate balance sheets while creating new financial products, including higher-yield savings accounts, money market funds, and insurance services denominated in Bitcoin.
Earlier this week, Strategy bought 487 BTC for about $49.9 million. At the time of announcement, Bitcoin’s price was near $106,000. The purchases, made between November 3 and 9 at an average of $102,557 per BTC, bring Strategy’s total holdings to 641,692 BTC, acquired for roughly $47.54 billion at an average price of $74,079 each, underscoring the company’s ongoing commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $96,815, with lows recorded near $94,000.

Tether Eyes Commodities Finance Sector for Next Growth Phase
Tether invests $1.5 billion to finance oil and agricultural commodities.
The firm competes with major banks by lending USDT and cash.
Tether fills a lending gap left by traditional risk-averse financial institutions.
Tether is targeting growth in commodities finance. The firm has invested around $1.5 billion to support traders handling oil, cotton, wheat, and other agricultural goods.
The initiative aims to increase lending in both traditional dollars and USDT, the stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the company plans to expand operations dramatically, using its nearly $200 billion in reserves to compete with the large banks that have traditionally dominated this market.
Ardoino noted that using USDT helps facilitate lending in regions such as Latin America, where much of the world’s commodities are produced. Loans are essential in commodities trading, as banks usually fund the purchase and transport of food, metals, oil, and gas worth trillions of dollars globally.
Trade Finance: A Separate Unit for Commodities
Commodities lending operates through Tether’s Trade Finance division, launched last year. This operation runs independently from the reserves that back its stablecoins. Since October, Tether has held discussions with companies in the sector about lending opportunities.
Tether is entering a market where traditional banks have reduced their participation after fraud cases and company failures. Major trading houses like Trafigura and Cargill still secure credit easily, but smaller firms struggle to access funds, limiting their business.
This gap has created space for private lenders willing to take risks in areas where banks avoid operating. These lenders typically charge interest rates above 10%, offsetting the additional risk.
For Tether and other private lenders, commodities loans provide fast and steady interest flows, as a typical international shipment of wheat or oil takes less than a month from start to finish.
Stablecoin Drives Diversification
Tether’s expansion into lending, artificial intelligence, and sports coincides with growing global adoption of stablecoins. Recent U.S. legislation covering stablecoins has also accelerated adoption.
Through this approach, Tether aims to strengthen its role not only as a stablecoin issuer but as a key player in commodities financing, leveraging liquidity, digital market experience, and growing trust in USDT to provide fast and efficient solutions.

Developers Highlight DOGE’s Institutional Potential and Ongoing Innovation
The development team stressed the importance of network security and transparency, noting that institutional participation requires confidence in the protocol. DOGE’s integration into index funds demonstrates a shift from retail-driven demand to more structured investment flows, which could attract larger players and increase liquidity. Developers also reiterated ongoing efforts to optimize transaction speeds and reduce network fees, ensuring the coin remains efficient for high-volume trading.
Community involvement remains strong, with key contributors providing insights on governance, technical upgrades, and adoption strategies. The team highlighted partnerships with service providers that facilitate DOGE usage in payments and financial products, reinforcing its practical utility. As adoption rises, DOGE’s inclusion in US index funds serves as a signal to the market that memecoins can achieve significant institutional acknowledgment without compromising decentralization principles.
Analysts note that DOGE’s milestone could set a precedent for other altcoins seeking institutional validation. While volatility remains a factor, the structured inflows from index funds may stabilize price movements and enhance investor confidence. The DOGE team remains committed to community engagement, protocol improvements, and exploring new use cases in DeFi, payments, and tokenized assets.
With this benchmark, DOGE demonstrates a tangible shift toward mainstream investment, bridging retail enthusiasm with institutional frameworks. Developers view this as a pivotal moment to ensure sustainable growth while maintaining network integrity, signaling the next phase of maturity for Dogecoin.

"We're Always Buying Bitcoin" — Michael Saylor Says MSTR Is Safe Even If BTC Crashed 80%
Michael Saylor reignited market attention Friday after posting "We are buying" on X and reaffirming that Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) remains secure even if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) drops as much as 80%.
Saylor Says Volatility Is Part Of Bitcoin InvestingSaylor said Bitcoin's multi-year performance continues to exceed major asset classes, noting that the token has averaged roughly 50% annual gains across the past five years.
He pointed out that Bitcoin moved from about $55,000 to $94,000 over a 14-month span, calling the return stronger than what most investors expect.
He added that Bitcoin investors must be prepared for sharp price swings and maintain a time horizon of at least four years.
According to him, the market recently cleared excess leverage as long-term holders sold near the $100,000 level, creating what he described as a "strong base of support."
Saylor maintained that Bitcoin will continue to outperform gold and the S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY), calling it "digital capital."
MSTR Balance Sheet ‘Fine' Even If Bitcoin Drops 80%Saylor further said Strategy Inc. remains lightly levered with debt maturing four and a half years from now.
He noted that the company is "not even 1.15 times leveraged," adding that its collateral position remains intact under extreme downside scenarios.
"If Bitcoin were to fall 80%, we're still overcollateralized, and we're fine," he said.
Saylor explained that Strategy uses preferred equity to amplify returns for common shareholders while avoiding traditional credit default risk.
He emphasized that preferred equity dividends are discretionary and board-declared, calling the structure similar to an "intelligent bank" that uses equity to support long-duration capital.
Comments On Stablecoins And Digital Finance GrowthSaylor also addressed remarks from Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, who recently suggested stablecoin growth may reduce Bitcoin's transactional use case.
Saylor disagreed, saying the broader digital asset economy is expanding across two parallel paths.
He framed Bitcoin as "digital gold" anchoring digital capital, while stablecoins and tokenized assets form the foundation of digital finance on proof-of-stake networks such as Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL).
Stablecoins, he said, are likely to grow from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars, but the expansion does not compete with Bitcoin's role as a capital asset.
Saylor Confirms Strategy Inc. Is Accelerating Bitcoin PurchasesWhen asked whether Strategy is still accumulating Bitcoin, Saylor said the company is "always buying."
He added that the firm recently accelerated its purchases and plans to disclose new totals on Monday.
He said Strategy now owns nearly 3.1% of the Bitcoin network with an average purchase price near $74,000 per coin.
Saylor outlined his guidance for different investor time frames.
Long-term buyers should focus on Bitcoin itself, while equity investors seeking leverage on digital capital may prefer Strategy's stock.
Short-term investors, he said, should consider digital credit instruments tied to lower-volatility yield products.

Cardano faces a major governance decision as a treasury loan vote for global exchange listings gains momentum. At the same time, ADA tests a key $0.517 support level after breaking below its ascending trendline.
Cardano vote tops 3B ADA on proposal to fund global exchange listingsCardano’s latest governance vote has drawn more than 3 billion ADA in support for a proposal that seeks a treasury-backed loan to pursue tier-1 exchange listings. The measure asks the on-chain treasury to release 5 million ADA as a repayable loan to finance a coordinated “global listing expansion” program.
Cardano Treasury Vote Stake Chart. Source: X
The vote reflects rising community engagement after Cardano’s transition to full on-chain governance this month. As ballots continue to come in, the proposal remains one of the most closely watched items on the network’s new governance dashboard.
According to the proposal, the 5 million ADA loan would be administered through Intersect, the Cardano member-based organization overseeing governance operations. The plan outlines reporting requirements, repayment terms and oversight to ensure the funds are used for listing efforts rather than unrelated activities.
Supporters argue that the initiative could strengthen Cardano’s presence on major trading venues by funding compliance, integration work and exchange-specific technical needs. Critics, however, have questioned whether treasury funds should be used for listings at all, even on a repayable basis.
The vote remains open, and final tallies will determine whether the treasury approves the request for release of funds.
ADA tests key $0.517 support after trendline breakCardano slipped below its ascending trendline on the 4-hour chart, putting fresh focus on support around $0.517, according to analyst Man of Bitcoin. He noted that ADA is now pulling back toward this level after failing to extend its recent advance, leaving bulls and bears watching the same line in the sand.

If ADA holds above $0.517, the chart still allows for the “yellow” scenario on his chart, where price grinds higher in a diagonal pattern. In that path, the current move would act as a shallow wave-(2) pullback, with room for another leg up toward the previous resistance zone near $0.73 if buyers regain control.
However, a clean break below $0.517 would be an early warning that the alternative wave-(ii) scenario is taking over. In that case, ADA could slide deeper into the highlighted Fibonacci support box, with intermediate levels near $0.51, $0.46, $0.41 and $0.35 marking potential downside checkpoints before any attempt at a larger recovery.
Momentum is quietly building around the next wave of US crypto ETFs, and analysts say Bitwise's XRP fund may now be the one closest to the finish line. A fresh batch of SEC guidance got released this week, and it appears to give issuers a faster path to effectiveness.

Tom Lee's $11 Billion Ethereum Treasury Firm BitMine Appoints New CEO
In brief
Ethereum treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies has appointed Chi Tsang as CEO.
The company holds over $11 billion worth of ETH, making it the largest corporate holder of the coin.
Shares of BMNR continued sliding Friday alongside Ethereum's own recent price dive.
BitMine Immersion Technologies, the leading Ethereum treasury company with more than $11 billion worth of the cryptocurrency, announced Friday that it has appointed Chi Tsang as CEO and board member.
Tsang, who succeeds previous CEO Jonathan Bates, was recently the founder and Managing Partner of venture fund m1720, and had previously spent a decade at HSBC, where he finished in 2022 as Head of Asia and TMT Global Banking.
"The transformation and innovation now facing Wall Street through blockchain and Ethereum mirror the explosion of opportunity that mobile phones and the internet unleashed on telecoms and technology in the 1990s," said Tsang, in a statement. "With its substantial Ethereum holdings and credibility with both Wall Street and the Ethereum ecosystem, BitMine is positioned to become a leading financial institution."
The firm also appointed a trio of new board members in Robert Sechan, Olivia Howe, and Jason Edgeworth.
BitMine Chairman Tom Lee, who has been the face of BitMine since its Ethereum pivot earlier this year, said in a statement that the new appointments "bring a unique blend of experience, insight, and leadership across technology, DeFi, and financial services, enabling BitMine to further position itself as the bridge between traditional capital markets and the supercycle Ethereum ecosystem."
Shares of BMNR are down about 4% on the day, recently changing hands just over $35. The firm's stock has fallen nearly 34% over the last month as crypto prices fall, diminishing the value of the company's ETH stash.
As of Monday, the company holds over 3.5 million ETH, currently valued around $11.2 billion, making it the largest corporate holder of Ethereum by far—significantly outpacing runner-up SharpLink Gaming, with about $2.75 billion worth.
Ethereum is down 5.5% over the last day to a recent price of $3,200, pushing its 30-day plunge to more than 20%. The price of ETH has fallen by 35% since the asset hit a new all-time high price just shy of $5,000 in August.
Users on Myriad—a prediction market platform operated by Decrypt's parent company, Dastan—remain slightly optimistic about Ethereum's next move, giving a nearly 53% chance that ETH is more likely to rise to $4,000 next rather than fall to $2,500.
Earlier this week, Myriad users penciled in a 77% chance of a rise to $4,000.

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) are down over 5% over the past 24 hours as sellers dragged the two large-cap altcoins back toward the critical support zones that have held the market together since early fall.
XRP Weakens As Sellers Push Price Toward Trendline Support
XRP Price Action (Source: TradingView)
XRP trades near $2.25 after persistent selling pressure weighed on the month-long triangle structure.
The token remains below the 20-day EMA at $2.39 and cannot reclaim the 50-day EMA at $2.53.
Each rebound fades quickly, and repeated failures at the descending trendline confirm that momentum stays controlled by sellers.
The market is now pressing one of the most important long-term support levels in the pattern, formed by a rising trendline from the March base.
Outflows Deepen As XRP Loses Grip On Key EMA Cluster
XRP Netflows (Source: Coinglass)
Spot netflows registered a $17.35 million outflow on Nov. 14, marking another session dominated by selling.
Red prints have been consistent for months, showing limited accumulation and minimal whale interest.
The supertrend stays red, and XRP trades under every major EMA between $2.53 and $2.69.
This cluster has become a ceiling, and the path lower remains open until price reclaims it.
A break below the rising trendline could expose $2.03 as the next target.
A deeper slide toward the $1.75–$1.60 region may follow if sellers accelerate pressure.
ADA Extends Weekly Decline As Breakdown Gains Momentum
Cardano Price Dynamics (Source: TradingView)
ADA trades near $0.50 after losing the $0.53–$0.55 support shelf earlier this week.
The token is down about 15% over the past seven days, reflecting one of the steepest weekly drops among large-cap assets.
The market has respected a dominant descending trendline since late summer, and each rally into the EMA cluster has been rejected.
The breakdown through support pushed ADA directly into a lower liquidity region, leaving it just above a broad demand zone between $0.42 and $0.36.
ADA price trades well below the 20-day EMA at $0.58 and the 50-day EMA at $0.65.
The parabolic SAR also continues printing above price, indicating persistent downside pressure.
A clean break could send price into the $0.44–$0.41 pocket quickly.
A deeper test near $0.38–$0.36 becomes likely if sell volume expands.

Ether Tumbles 8% as ETFs Bleed Over $1.4B, Long-Term Holders Sell
ETH plunged below $3,100 on Friday as the crypto selloff accelerated with bitcoin losing the $100,000 level. Nov 14, 2025, 2:59 p.m.
Ethereum's ether ETH$3,206.97 fell sharply from Thursday to Friday, plunging over 10% from peak to trough a broad-market crypto selloff accelerated with bitcoin breaking below the $100,000 level.
The second largest cryptocurrency tumbled from $3,565 earlier on Thursday to $3,060 by early Friday, erasing all of past week's rebound. It recently stabilized just below $3,200, still down roughly 8% over the past 24 hours.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
The move coincided with broad-market selloff on U.S. markets with stocks and bonds falling in tandem with cryptos. The U.S. government shutdown, which has just ended, weighed on liquidity conditions. Also adding to the pressure is the increasing probability of the Federal Reserve leaving rates unchanged during the December meeting.
Since the Federal Reserve’s late October meeting, when chairman Jerome Powell threw cold water on near-universally expected December rate cuts, U.S.-listed spot ether ETFs have seen $1.4 billion in net outflows, Farside Investors data shows. Thursday's nearly $260 million outflow was the biggest single-day bleed in a month.
On top of that, long-term holders are also heading towards the exit door. Glassnode's blockchain data showed that long-term holders spanning 3-10 years accelerated selling to approximately 45,000 ETH (around $140 million at current prices) daily on a 90-day moving average, the highest distribution pace since February 2021.
Blockchain data also suggest deteriorating fundamentals. Monthly active addresses on the network have fallen to 8.2 million, down from over 9 million in September, while transaction fees over the past month collapsed by 42% to just $27 million, Token Terminal data shows.
Key technical levels to watchETH shattered a critical support level at $3,325, establishing a clear bearish trend with consecutive lower highs, CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model suggested.
Support/Resistance: Primary support sits at $3,080 with secondary floors at $3,050 and $2,880. Key resistance forms at $3,330 (former support), $3,500 (main pivot), and $3,650 (descending channel highs).Volume Analysis: Selling peaked at 641,103 during the $3,325 breakdown—71% above 24-hour norms. Subsequent volume dropped to 80% of 7-day averages, indicating potential exhaustion.Chart Patterns: ETH broke its April ascending channel, creating a bearish structure with lower highs. The $3,077-$3,146 consolidation range suggests possible base formation.Targets & Risk/Reward: Breaking $3,050 support exposes $2,880 downside, while reclaiming $3,563 is needed for bullish momentum. A decisive push above $3,500 targets $3,650-$3,800.Disclaimer: Parts of this article were generated with the assistance of AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.

XRP Price Prediction 2025: Where Could XRP Land Before The Year Ends?
XRP historically posts strong Q4 returns, averaging 134%, with rising unrealized losses again hinting at another potential recovery setup ahead.The MVRV Long/Short Difference nears neutral as XRP consolidates between $2.20 and $2.50, awaiting a decisive breakout later this year.Clearing $2.50 may target $2.64–$3.02; failure keeps XRP rangebound, delaying breakout until stronger Q4 momentum emerges sometime before year-end again.XRP is trading sideways after a volatile stretch that mirrored its Q3 movement. The altcoin has held within a narrow range despite increased market activity.
Historical patterns now suggest a potential shift, as XRP once again displays signs commonly seen before stronger Q4 performances.

XRP Is Mirroring Its Past In Many WaysQ4 has historically been one of the strongest periods for XRP. Over the past 12 years, the token’s average Q4 return stands at 134%. While such gains are unlikely to repeat in the coming weeks, the trend highlights the asset’s long-term seasonal strength and signals conditions that often precede bullish reversals.
This historical resilience positions XRP as one of the few major cryptocurrencies that consistently benefits from year-end momentum.

XRP Quarterly Returns. Source: CryptoRankUnrealized losses are rising again, creating conditions that have previously triggered strong rebounds. Investors often push prices higher when losses spike, driven by the incentive to recover value. The same behavior was observed in November 2024, April 2025, and June 2025, each followed by a clear move upward.
If this pattern repeats, XRP may be positioned for a recovery fueled by renewed buying pressure. The recent uptick in unrealized losses suggests growing tension in the market, which historically precedes breakouts as investors attempt to regain profitability.

XRP Relative Unrealized Loss. Source: GlassnodeThe MVRV Long/Short Difference is dipping toward the neutral zone. This indicates long-term holders are seeing reduced profits, often a precursor to a shift in short-term holder behavior. A drop below neutral would signal rising short-term gains, which may lead to brief selling as traders lock in profits.
After this phase, the indicator typically climbs back into positive territory. When long-term holder profits rise again, XRP has often followed with upward price action. This dynamic suggests a possible setup for stronger gains if the market aligns with previous cycles.
XRP MVRV Long/Short Difference. Source: SantimentXRP Price Awaits A TriggerXRP trades at $2.29 after moving sideways for several weeks following a 22% drop in October. The consolidation reflects market caution but also shows resilience as buyers continue to defend key levels through short-term uncertainty.
The current indicators suggest a bullish outlook that supports a move above $2.50, a crucial psychological zone. Clearing this level may allow XRP to break past $2.64 and potentially reach $3.02, helping the token recover October’s losses.

Top Meme Coins Besides Dogecoin And Shiba Inu With Potential Still Seeing Major Interest
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have not seen the best performances over the last few years, but this has not deterred other meme coins from going on major rallies. The likes of PEPE and BONK have emerged with great potential, building strong communities and contending with the likes of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu for the top spot. This report takes a look at these meme coins with potential as the market starts to pick up once again.
USELESS Joins The Ranks Of The Greats
Useless Coin (USELESS) is one of the Solana meme coins that emerged in 2025, running on the premise of “nothing.” The coin is a satirical token that essentially makes fun of other utility-based cryptocurrencies that have been at the forefront of the market. Its entire brand is focused on the fact that the coin is completely “useless,” meaning it has no utility, and is a purely hype-driven cryptocurrency.
USELESS offers investors no form of use case, unlike many others, and the only avenue for revenue generation is the fees generated from liquidity provision. The coin, which was launched on the LetsBonk.Fun has become the most successful launch from the launchpad since its inception back in early 2025, and boasts one of the best communities so far. It has also been one of the best performers with each market recovery, rising double-digits on days where the crypto market moves back into the green.
FARTCOIN Is The AI Play Of Meme Coins
Unlike USELESS, FARTCOIN’s value proposition lies in the fact that it is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) play, running to over $2 billion market cap off of this. The meme coin has garnered over 160,000 holders already and is climbing.
FARTCOIN is not yet in the top 10 meme coins by market cap, which makes it a good choice for investment over larger counterparts such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. At less than $300 million market and over $100 average daily trading volume, there is still a value proposition here for the cryptocurrency.
FLOKI Gets Boosted With Elon Musk’s Support Of Dogecoin
Among meme coins with good value propositions, FLOKI ranks high due to its proximity to billionaire Elon Musk. The coin was formed when Musk first posted his Shiba Inu dog named Floki, and each time Musk tweeted about his dog, the FLOKI price tends to soar.
The most recent example of this is when Musk posted Floki on his X page and the FLOKI price rose by more than 20%, making it the highest gainer among meme coins for that week. Given the billionaire’s propensity to talk about his dog, it could only be a matter of time until another X post sends the FLOKI price surging again.
