Market Signal Briefing

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn’t hold a favorable view of cryptocurrencies when she once warned that they could weaken nations.

‘Exotic’ Cryptos Pose Risks To DollarDuring a video appearance at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Nov. 19, 2021, Clinton urged nation-states to pay “greater attention” to the rise of cryptocurrencies.

“What looks like a very interesting and somewhat exotic effort to literally mine new coins in order to trade with them has the potential for undermining currencies,” she said, likely referring to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

Clinton, who ran as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, specifically talked about the risks to the dollar as the world’s reserve currency,

She also argued that cryptocurrencies have the potential to “destabilize” nations, starting with smaller ones and potentially affecting larger nations over time.

Bitcoin’s Recent StrugglesWhen Clinton presented these views, Bitcoin was worth $58,119. Four years down the line, it has grown to $91,366, marking a 57% rise.

Yet more recently, the apex cryptocurrency has faced pressures. It fell below $80,000 last week, a sharp reversal from the all-time high of $126,198.07. The ongoing slump has erased all of its 2025 gains.

The drawdown has affected the balance sheet of countries that jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon.

The Impact On National Crypto ReservesEl Salvador, which became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, has experienced a 65% decline in its cumulative unrealized gains on BTC holdings, falling from $245 million to $84 million over the past month, according to Arkham.

However, it is worth mentioning that the country has continued to add BTC to its reserves, profiting on lower rates.

Similarly, Bhutan, which generates and accumulates Bitcoin through in-house mining, has seen its total cryptocurrency gains shrink from $984 million to $832 million, marking a 15% decline. Note that Bhutan also holds other cryptocurrencies apart from Bitcoin, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).

Last week, public bitcoin miners saw positive numbers in the stock market. All of the ten biggest companies were in the green zone, defying market expectations.

The Layer 1 blockchain Monad has grabbed the headlines in the past few days following its successful launch earlier last week. MON, its native token, enjoyed a significant 80% surge on the back of the launch, hitting an all-time high of 0.048 on Wednesday, November 26.

While the Monad protocol has enjoyed significant attention since going live, it appears that not everyone is confident in its potential adoption. Most notably, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has put forward a pessimistic outlook for the project, saying its token value could fall as much as 99%.

Monad Has No Real Use Case: Hayes
In a YouTube interview with Altcoin Daily, Hayes stated that any other Layer 1 blockchain besides Ethereum and Solana is “zero” and is not going to do very well. Using Monad as an example, the former BitMEX CEO described the protocol’s coin as another “high FDV, low-float” token.

Hayes said that Monad is going to be the new “Berachain” and expects its native token’s value to fall by 99% after the initial jump. Berachain, which launched in February 2025, has its native token BERA trading beneath $1, nearly 94% beneath its all-time high of $14.83.

As of this writing, the Monad token is valued at around $0.0285, reflecting an over 40% decline since hitting its all-time high on Wednesday.

Hayes highlighted that every new project’s token often enjoys an early price spike before facing a deep correction, as there is usually no real use case to back up the initial growth. The crypto founder noted that it is a classic case of FOMO (fear of missing out), especially after the massive success of Ethereum.

Hayes said in the interview:

Every coin gets their first pump and people want to believe in the new L1. Everybody wants to invest in the new Ethereum like they would have in 2014 when everyone missed it. Me included. But again, that doesn’t mean it [Monad] is going to actually have any real use case.

Moving forward, Hayes went on to pick a “magnificent five” of protocols currently in the cryptocurrency space, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, ZCash, and Ethena.

If Not Layer 1s, What Next?
It is little surprise that ZCash made it to the BitMEX co-founder’s list of top blockchain protocols. According to Hayes, ZCash and other privacy-focused coins—like Monero—will dominate the crypto narrative even more in the coming year.

Additionally, Hayes mentioned that Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs and quantum resistance are other crypto narratives to watch out for in 2026. Specifically, the crypto founder noted that the next winner in the crypto market over the next one to two years would come from the ZK space.

Arthur Hayes warned that Tether is running a risky interest rate trade that could threaten USDT solvency if markets move against the stablecoin issuer.

Summary

Arthur Hayes says a 30% drop in Tether’s BTC and gold could erase its equity.
Hayes argues the company’s interest-rate strategy may strain USDT solvency.
Tether shuts Uruguay mining as reserves hit $181B dominated by U.S. Treasuries.

The BitMEX co-founder analyzed Tether’s latest attestation report and noted that a 30% decline in the company’s Bitcoin and gold holdings would wipe out equity.

The stablecoin issuer holds $9.86 billion in Bitcoin and $12.92 billion in precious metals according to its asset breakdown.

Hayes wrote on X that the company appears to be betting on Federal Reserve rate cuts, which would crush their interest income from U.S. Treasury bills and other fixed-income assets.

Hayes questions Tether’s balance sheet math
“The Tether folks are in the early innings of running a massive interest rate trade,” Hayes posted. “They are buying gold and BTC that should in theory moon as the price of money falls.”

The Tether folks are in the early innings of running a massive interest rate trade. How I read this audit is they think the Fed will cut rates which crushes their interest income. In response, they are buying gold and $BTC that should in theory moon as the price of money falls.… pic.twitter.com/ZGhQRP4SVF

— Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) November 29, 2025

The former BitMEX CEO calculated that a roughly 30% drop in combined gold and Bitcoin positions would eliminate Tether’s equity cushion. “Then USDT would be in theory insolvent,” he stated.

Hayes predicted that large USDT holders and exchanges will demand real-time balance sheet access to monitor solvency risks. “Get out your popcorn, I expect the MSM to run wild with this,” he wrote.

One X user defended Tether’s strategy, explaining that Bitcoin and gold purchases come from profits and excess reserves rather than newly issued USDT. “They only mint when there’s demand, and the BTC/gold allocations are made using the surplus they generate,” the user wrote.

Hayes questioned this explanation. “That was my assumption as well, but then why are their cash assets how they define them less than outstanding liabilities? What am I missing here?” he replied.

Tether shuts down Uruguay mining operations
In other Tether news, the stablecoin issuer confirmed it is closing its mining venture in Uruguay after electricity pricing negotiations failed.

The company is letting go of approximately 30 of its 38 staff members in the country as the business winds down.

The stablecoin issuer’s total reserves stand at $181.22 billion backing circulating tokens. U.S. Treasury bills comprise $112.42 billion of holdings, making up the largest asset category.

The company also holds $17.99 billion in overnight reverse repurchase agreements and $6.41 billion in money market funds.

If this widely touted growth driver peters out, it could spell big trouble.

Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchains are likely to be one of the crypto sector's biggest growth drivers over the next five years or so. As more of those assets are managed or traded on blockchains, more value touches the networks in question, which supports the prices of their native tokens.

But recently, the giant bucket of real-world assets that use blockchains mostly as a glorified record-keeping system has started to shrink, even as the smaller bucket of assets that actually live and move on-chain is now barely inching forward after a big growth spurt over the last 12 months. The implications of this shift are significant for the chains most exposed to the RWA segment, specifically Ethereum (ETH +2.29%), Solana (SOL +1.61%), and XRP (XRP 0.13%).

It's worth being a bit more cautious about buying them than before. Here's what you need to know.

Tokenization can be just fancy bookkeeping
Tokenization is the process of representing ownership of an asset as a crypto token on a blockchain, so that transfers and updates can be handled by the chain's rules instead of a pile of spreadsheets and databases. As an example, think of a tokenized U.S. Treasury bill or an exchange-traded fund (ETF) share. The token on the blockchain stands in for the physical piece of paper you could get from the bank or your broker if you asked for it, but the economic rights conferred by controlling the asset are the same whether they're represented as a physical item or as a digital entity.

In practice, there are two very different flavors of tokenized RWAs, and, as the entire field is still emerging, the nomenclature to describe them isn't entirely standardized just yet. With "distributed" assets, the token itself is meant to move around blockchain networks, plug into smart contracts, and be held directly in crypto wallets or decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. With a distributed tokenized real-world asset, you could potentially do something like sell your car by transferring the token representing its ownership to someone else in exchange for cryptocurrency.

The other type is "represented" assets, which are tokenized assets where the blockchain is mostly used as a record-keeping system under the hood rather than as a way of moving the asset's value around. With represented assets, the assets themselves are still locked in a traditional custody stack that needs to be activated to actually transfer them or modify who owns them.

The problem is that the sum of represented RWA value across all networks is about $390.9 billion, down by roughly 2% in the last 30 days. Distributed RWA value is far smaller, at around $17.8 billion, and is also down by about 1% over the same span. For a segment that was one of 2025's favorite narratives, watching hundreds of billions of dollars in value parked in RWAs edge lower isn't great.

Is it time to be cautious?
Ethereum is still the biggest home for tokenized assets by value, with distributed RWAs totaling $11.4 billion, down 8.3% from 30 days ago, and with another $272.8 million counted as represented RWAs, excluding its vast pool of stablecoins. While its RWA holder count climbed 13.7% in the same period, the sharp decline in distributed value is problematic because it means value is leaving the chain.

Solana, in contrast, has about $807.8 million in RWA value and it is all in the distributed category, with no represented value at all. What's more, Solana's RWA pool grew by 14.4% in the last 30 days, so even as there's general weakness in the strength of inflows across the crypto sector, the network seems to be bucking the trend and continuing to grow its base of tokenized capital, which is a positive sign.

On the XRP Ledger (XRPL), there are about $394.6 million of RWAs, with roughly 34% distributed and 66% represented. And both of those categories are still growing, with on-chain distributed asset value climbing by 6.1% and represented value rising by 7.6%.

So it looks like Ethereum is the most likely to experience capital outflows due to the crypto sector's RWA growth leveling off. That means investors should probably be the most cautious about buying it if this trend continues or intensifies. And, if sector-level RWA outflows really start to pick up, be aware that neither Solana nor XRP will escape unscathed.

Even with the current outflows, investors should treat RWAs as one source of upside out of many others in play for these three coins. The cooling in RWAs is just a nudge to be more disciplined in evaluating trends affecting assets you're thinking of buying, so be sure to pay close attention before taking the plunge.

Bitcoin has bounced more than 12% from last week's sharp fall to the $80,000 region, giving traders a temporary sense of relief after a period marked by intense selling and widespread panic. Yet despite the rebound, market sentiment remains cautious.

Major altcoins like BNB, Ripple’s XRP, and Solana (SOL) are currently facing pressure from bearish market forces after a major market slump in the first half of November. The “altseason” hasn’t arrived in this cycle, leaving many traders worried, but a growing number of crypto analysts believe the market is due for a major bullish rebound in 2026.

Altseason Delayed, Not Cancelled
One of these analysts is CryptosRus, a popular influencer with over 250,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter). He tweeted:

“ALTSEASON WASN’T CANCELLED : JUST POSTPONED 

A lot of people expected an altseason just like 2017 and 2021.

So the big question became: are altcoins dead?

The answer is no : macro simply hasn’t allowed the rotation yet. 

Quantitative tightening and reduced central bank liquidity have made it harder for capital to spill into smaller-cap, high-risk assets. That’s why the altseason everyone expected never fully ignited. 

QT could end as early as next month, and another rate cut is expected in December.

When liquidity returns, rotations can accelerate fast. 

As retail panics, whales quietly accumulate during this opportunity.”

The tweet ended with this graph:

​​

According to this graph, ETH/BTC pair is currently trending downwards following significant losses incurred by Ethereum. This pattern, CryptoRus argues, was observed at the beginning of 2017 and in the first half of 2021. A major altcoin bull market led by Ethereum immediately followed this trend, leading Bitcoin to lose its market dominance. The analyst believes history is about to repeat itself here. 

The Future
According to CryptosRus and multiple analysts on X, the altseason has only been delayed this time around, and it will occur at some point. The delay, however, has consequences and cannot be dismissed easily, as it would break the 4-year cycle of the crypto market significantly. 

The reason is that all three previous halvings, i.e., 2012, 2016, and 2020, have been followed by major bullish price action in the years that followed. 2013, 2017, and 2021 had broken records and resulted in major price appreciations. 2017 and 2021 were especially important in crypto history, as they unleashed altseasons that benefited cryptocurrencies beyond BTC.

However, the 2024 halving and the subsequent 2025 calendar year have failed to match the energy of the previous post-halving years. 

We have seen some dogged ATHs from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB, but the rest of the crypto market has performed underwhelmingly, to say the least. 2025, therefore, has so far been the worst such example in history, which is a cause of concern for crypto users, many of whom have been waiting for an altseason for a better part of the last 4 years.

This is why they wish to see a big altseason in 2026 and claim it is delayed and not cancelled altogether. They blame Quantitative Tightening (QT) and other economic obstacles. To a certain extent, that is true. However, different asset classes, such as the stock market and commodities like Gold and Silver, are performing much better and are not expected to come down anytime soon.

In any case, even if BTC rebounds strongly in 2026 and we are fortunate enough to witness another altseason, the 4-year cycle is likely dead, and the importance of the year following the halving is now diminished.

As of late November 2025, Ethereum has found itself in the spotlight of crypto debates, with analysts arguing over its current valuation status. Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, recently voiced his perspective that Ethereum might be undervalued, igniting discussions across investment circles.

Ethereum price hurtled toward the $3,030 level on Sunday, Nov. 28, setting the asset on course to close the month with 21.4% losses.

Heavy whale sell-offs in the first half of the month inflicted the most damage, as broader crypto markets reacted to the US government shutdown and political pressure facing the crypto-friendly Trump administration.

Ethereum ETF Flows Nov 2025 | Source: FarsideInvestors

US-listed Ethereum ETFs recorded $1.284 billion in outflows during an eight-day selling wave from Nov. 11 to Nov. 20. Although ETF issuers returned to net inflows in the final week, the late inflows were insufficient to offset earlier drawdowns. Farside Investors data shows Ethereum ETFs logged $368 million in inflows last week, marking a clean sweep of daily positives but failing to reverse the monthly deficit, which amounted to $1.4 billion in withdrawals for the month.

Tom Lee-led Bitmine, the largest Ethereum treasury holder, also aligned with the ETFs’ late-month accumulation trend. Bitmine added 14,618 ETH, worth about $185 million, during the final week of November, reinforcing the long-term commitment from US corporate investors as recent geopolitical tensions fade.

Derivatives Positioning Turns Bullish as Whales Deploy $700M Longs at $2,960 Support
Despite the renewed demand from whales failing to overturn Ethereum’s 21% monthly loss, derivatives market trends indicate that large investors have done enough to shift sentiment toward a constructive outlook for December.

Ethereum Liquidation Map, Nov 30, 2025 | Source: Coinglass

Coinglass liquidation-map data shows bulls regained clear control over the past week, with 3.97 million active long ETH contracts outweighing the $1.9 billion in total shorts. More critically, the data reveals the $2,960 zone attracted the largest single derivatives position cluster in seven days, with more than $700 million in long exposure deployed at that level.

This cluster explains why Ethereum held the $3,000 support area despite intraday pressure triggered by Bitcoin’s rejection below $90,400 on Nov. 29. Whales appear committed to defending the zone, creating an early psychological anchor for Ethereum’s price outlook in December. 

Ethereum Price Outlook for December 2025
Ethereum enters December with derivatives sentiment leaning decisively bullish. However, the liquidation map shows more than $1.3 billion of the active $1.96 billion short positions sit near the $3,100 level. That concentration introduces a tactical ceiling. ETH could struggle to break the level cleanly if bears initiate protective coverage.

Conversely, a breakout from that zone could trigger a short squeeze that could accelerate ETH toward $3,500 in the weeks ahead.

Ethereum (ETH) Technical Price Analysis | Nov 30 2025 | Source: TradingView

Technical indicators support this optimistic outlook on the ETH price. As seen below, Ethereum continues to trade above the 20-day EMA, signalling recovering near-term demand. However, the 200-day moving average still trends downward near $3,130, reinforcing the overhead resistance observed in the derivatives market.

Ethereum RSI at 51 also suggests neutral momentum with room for expansion in either direction, while a positive volume delta reading suggests buyers have the upper hand in the near term.

If bulls defend the $2,960 cluster with the same consistency seen in late November, Ethereum has a credible path to establish $3,500 as Ethereum’s primary upside target for December 2025. Meanwhile, failure to hold that support line may trigger a reversal to $2,880 and $2,820.

Micheal Saylor has hinted that Strategy is about to make another Bitcoin (BTC). However, his post follows a recent explanation by the company’s CEO on when it can start selling its BTC holdings.

Saylor’s Post Suggest Another Round of Strategy BTC Accumulation
After providing a chart that showed the increasing BTC holdings of Strategy, Michael Saylor created fresh speculation around the possibility of another Bitcoin buy. He posted the message “What if we start adding green dots?” alongside the portfolio chart.

The remark suggests Strategy may be preparing for another accumulation round as market volatility increases. Recently, Strategy said it will keep buying Bitcoin regardless of market conditions. The chart depicts that Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio is worth an approximate of $59 billion as it has purchased a total of 649,870 Bitcoins 87 times.

It visualizes each buy as an orange dot. Michael Saylor’s reference to “green dots” signals the possibility of new purchase markers appearing on the tracker. The timing of the tease is important. Strategy is navigating a demanding financial environment.

Strategy CEO Outlines Conditions for Rare BTC Sale
According to CEO Phong Le during a podcast interview, Strategy will only sell Bitcoin if markets turn extremely unfavorable. He said this would happen only if mNAV falls below net asset value and fresh capital is unavailable.

According to Le, the business model relied on increasing capital when stock market values exceeded net asset value (NAV). Hence, the firm would deploy this capital to increase holdings.

This is in line with a reconfirmation by Saylor of Strategy’s long-term Bitcoin mission. He indicated that selling will only be rational when funding becomes unavailable and equity issues will be too dilutive.

Strategy now owes about $750 million to $800 million every year in required dividend payments in the form of preferred-share liabilities. Le added the company plans to pay these dividends using money raised when its shares trade above net asset value.

He said that consistent dividend payments help build stronger market confidence in Strategy’s ability to manage its obligations. Despite the pressure, the company maintains that its long-term Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged.

Strategy Dashboard Reveals BTC Strength Over the Long Term 
According to Le, Bitcoin is a rare asset, and all regions are interested in it, leading to rising demand and price. He also highlighted that the limited supply of the asset is one of the factors supporting Strategy’s long-term approach to holding it.

Recently, Strategy introduced a BTC Credit dashboard to provide investors with clearer insight into its holdings following the recent market correction. Based on the information from the dashboard, the company can keep paying off dividends over decades. This can continue even when Bitcoin is trading at the firm’s average purchase price of around $74,000.

This financial robustness is exhibited following a time the company went through high pressure in the market. An example was when Strategy was at risk of exclusion from the Nasdaq-100 index following the recent crash of the crypto market when BTC price traded around $90,000.

Strategy is also confident that it can still manage its debt in case Bitcoin price drops to $25,000. Such assertions give hope that new Bitcoin purchases can still be made, particularly when the market conditions is stable.

On-chain data indicates a clear divide between two major groups of Bitcoin whales: newcomers who are selling at a loss, and long-term holders who remain largely inactive despite recent market turbulence. This contrast highlights an important shift in market behavior as Bitcoin attempts to stabilize after significant volatility.

$Ethereum is trading around $3,030, regaining the key $3,000 psychological level after a decisive rebound from support. Renewed ETF inflows, rising whale accumulation, and improving technical momentum all contributed to the bounce. With ETH now consolidating just below major resistance, traders are watching whether it can trigger a breakout toward higher levels.

Below is the full breakdown of why $ETH is up — and where the price could go next based on the chart.

Why Ethereum Price Is Up1. ETF Demand Returns (Bullish Impact)Overview

After facing $1.4B in net outflows through November, Ethereum ETFs flipped positive with $368M in inflows during the final week. This shift aligned with reduced geopolitical tension and ETH’s prolonged underperformance compared to Bitcoin.

What This Means

Institutions appear to be rotating back into ETH, treating it as a catch-up play. ETF inflows decrease sell pressure and act as confirmation that the $3,000 support area is fundamentally backed by institutional demand.

Watch For

Whether inflows continue into early December

If ETH ETF demand outpaces BTC for the first time in weeks

2. Whale & Derivatives Activity (Mixed Impact)Overview

On-chain data shows whales added 14,618 ETH (~$185M) in late November. At the same time, ETH derivatives open interest rose $700M, with longs dominating shorts 2:1 near $2,960.

What This Means

Large players are aggressively defending the $2,960–$3,000 zone. However, rising leverage — 3.97M open contracts — introduces liquidation risks if ETH fails to break above $3,100 resistance.

Watch For

Long liquidations if ETH rejects at $3,100–$3,200

Leverage resets that could trigger either volatility spike

3. Technical Momentum (Bullish Short-Term)Overview

ETH has reclaimed the 20-day EMA ($2,968) and printed a bullish MACD crossover with a strong histogram at +37.73. The zone between $2,960 and $3,000 now acts as confirmed support.

What This Means

If ETH maintains a daily close above $3,000, traders expect continuation toward key Fibonacci levels, especially the 38.2% retracement at $3,270. However, the 200-day MA at $3,520 remains a major resistance barrier.

Ethereum Chart Analysis: What Just HappenedLooking at the attached chart, we notice a clear pattern.

ETH/USD 2-hour chart - TradingView

1. ETH Rejected Repeatedly at $3,200 (Yellow Line)The chart shows multiple rejections at $3,200, marked by yellow arrows and circles. This zone has acted as mid-range resistance for several weeks.

2. Strong Bounce From $2,732 Support (Green Line)ETH bottomed perfectly at the $2,732 structural support, where a green arrow confirms a high-volume reclaim. Each historical touch at this level triggered strong reversals.

3. Current Sideways Consolidation Around $3,030ETH is now stabilizing in a narrow band just under resistance — which often precedes a breakout attempt.

4. Stoch RSI Shows Overbought MomentumThe Stoch RSI currently reads:

82.93 (blue)87.24 (orange)ETH is short-term overbought, meaning a brief cooldown may occur before continuation.

Downside Targets

Reports are circulating that big financial players may be quietly buying XRP while the price sits near $2.18. If true, that could help explain why XRP hasn’t pushed past $3 even as trader interest grows. Some observers point to shrinking exchange wallets and limited disclosures as hints that accumulation is happening off-exchange.

Are Institutions Buying?
On-chain data shows Coinbase’s XRP stash fell sharply — from almost 1 billion tokens to about 32 million in September. Some analysts read that as coins being moved into private custody, possibly under NDAs.

Market commentator Dr. Jim Willie has suggested banks like Bank of America and BNY Mellon could be building positions quietly. He’s also picked up on recent remarks from BlackRock’s Larry Fink about an XRP ETF and taken them as another sign of institutional involvement. That’s a possible explanation, not proof.

Hydraulic Shift And ETF Bets
Willie uses a “hydraulic” metaphor: money leaving Bitcoin and Ethereum could push large gains into XRP if flows shift that way. ETFs, he argues, could speed this process by giving institutions easier access — especially if over-the-counter supply tightens.

But analysts warn against assuming ETFs will automatically spark a rapid price surge. Liquidity, market sentiment and broader macro conditions still matter a lot.

XRP recently traded under $2.20, roughly $2.18 as November closed. Commentator Meme Whale floated targets of $5 (near-term) and $10 (longer-term) — rises of close to 130% and 358% from current levels by April 2026.

For perspective, XRP once jumped 340% in five weeks back in 2021, rising from $0.43 to $1.96. Past spikes show how volatile the crypto market can be, but they don’t guarantee a repeat.

Big Claims Vs. Reality
Willie has even suggested XRP could one day rival the US dollar in global trade, implying market caps as high as $100 trillion. Most experts call that extremely unlikely.

Skeptics say those projections far outstrip reality and demand hard evidence before accepting ideas about coordinated price suppression or ultra-high future valuations.

Institutional accumulation could be happening — it’s plausible — but there’s no airtight proof yet. Investors should weigh on-chain data and credible analysis against hype and bold forecasts. In short: interesting signs, but tread carefully.

Investing in these AI infrastructure leaders could prove a smart decision.

The list of $3 trillion-plus market capitalization companies is short for a reason. Only companies with exceptional global scale, cutting-edge technologies, durable competitive moats, and multiyear catalysts are capable of reaching this impressive milestone. Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet have demonstrated these characteristics time and again, and have established themselves as members of this elite club.

However, two other giants riding the megatrends of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, and playing crucial roles in transforming the global economy, have yet to do so: Amazon (AMZN +1.77%) and Broadcom (AVGO +1.37%).

Although no forecast can be guaranteed, given their stellar financials and long-term demand tailwinds, I believe both of their market caps could surpass $3 trillion in the next few years.

1. Amazon
Amazon has become a crucial player in the global AI infrastructure buildout, and AWS still held a market-leading 29% share of the worldwide cloud computing infrastructure space as of the end of the third quarter. Amazon doubled its data center capacity to 3.8 gigawatts in the past 12 months and says it aims to double it again by 2027.

AWS reached an annualized revenue run rate of $132 billion in Q3, and exited the period with a backlog of $200 billion. Its actual backlog, however, is much higher, as that figure excludes deals announced after Sept. 30.

One such deal that captured Wall Street's attention is Amazon's $38 billion multiyear partnership with OpenAI. OpenAI will have access to AWS's computing capacity over the next seven years, backed by hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs. This deal adds high-margin revenue streams to AWS. It also further validates the role of the company's custom silicon and services in training and deployment of OpenAI's next-generation AI Models. Anthropic is also using an Amazon AI computing cluster comprising nearly 500,000 Trainium2 chips to train and deploy its Claude large language model. The company also plans to deploy more than 1 million Trainium2 chips by the end of 2025.

Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak expects AWS to grow by 25% in 2026, as he estimates that every $15 billion added to its backlog translates into 1 percentage point of AWS growth.

Despite these powerful catalysts, Amazon trades at just 3.4 times sales, the lowest ratio among the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Analysts expect the company's revenues to soar from $714.4 billion in 2025 to $1.2 trillion in 2030. Even if we assume no valuation expansion (which is a highly conservative stance considering its current levels), Amazon could comfortably cross the $3 trillion milestone by 2030. In fact, it could reach a nearly $4.1 trillion market cap by the end of the decade.

With a current market capitalization of $2.36 trillion, this implies an appreciation of nearly 73% over the next five years, or an annualized return of 11.5%. Hence, retail investors can pick a stake in the stock to earn steady returns in the long run.

2. Broadcom
Broadcom's custom accelerators (XPUs) and networking solutions are in high demand from hyperscalers and AI labs building cutting-edge large language models. That demand translated into another exceptional earnings performance in its fiscal 2025 third quarter. Revenues were up 22% year over year to $16 billion, while adjusted EBITDA rose 30% to $10.7 billion.

Broadcom expects each of its three major hyperscaler customers to deploy 1 million XPUs in AI clusters by 2027 as a part of their multigenerational AI XPU roadmaps. Based on these three clients, the company has estimated that the serviceable addressable market (SAM) for its XPUs and networking solutions will be in the range of $60 billion to $90 billion by 2027. However, its addressable market is even higher now, considering its opportunities with new clients. In the third quarter, the company secured a $10 billion order for XPU-based AI racks from a fourth qualified customer (which it did not publicly name). This will begin to show up in the company's fiscal 2026 numbers.   

In addition to these clients, Broadcom has also partnered with OpenAI to build 10 gigawatts of next-generation AI clusters. Management now expects AI revenue growth to exceed 60% in fiscal 2026.

Networking has also emerged as a key growth engine, as fast and low-latency data movement with lower power consumption has become a mission-critical feature for AI clusters with 100,000-plus computing nodes. The company's Tomahawk 5 and 6 Ethernet switches and its Jericho 4 fabric routers are used by customers to enable scale-up networking (communication between XPUs and GPUs within a rack), scale-out networking (communication between racks in data centers), and scale-across networking (communication across data centers located at different sites). Broadcom's networking products are used extensively for training and deploying next-generation AI models.

Besides hardware, Broadcom's infrastructure software business, which includes VMware Cloud 9.0, is also proving to be a high-margin, cash-generating opportunity.

Broadcom currently trades at 28.6 times sales, which may appear to be a rich premium at first glance. However, considering its multiyear tailwinds and its solid backlog of $110 billion at the close of its fiscal third quarter (which ended Aug. 3), that valuation seems justified.

Analysts expect Broadcom's revenue to grow from $63.3 billion in its fiscal 2025 (which ended Oct. 31) to $189.3 billion in its fiscal 2030. Even if we assume the company's price-to-sales ratio compresses by around 40% (a conservative estimate given its role in the global AI infrastructure buildout), the company could reach a market capitalization of over $3.2 trillion in that year. If the price-to-sales ratio compresses to its five-year average of 15.4 times, the market capitalization could be just over $2.9 trillion, very close to the $3 trillion mark. 

Considering Broadcom's current market capitalization of nearly $1.72 trillion, investors can expect a return of 68% to 86% in the next five years, or annualized returns of 11% to 13.2%. While these returns wouldn't be mind-boggling, investors could consider opening a small position in this stock for the high probability of a modest market outperformance.

Putting money to work in tech businesses is a smart move, given the growth of the sector.

Investing in technology companies can be a great way to generate strong long-term returns. There are some very disruptive, innovative, and dominant businesses in this sector, and investors would be wise to take a closer look to find any potential opportunities.

With that being said, here's the smartest tech stock to buy with $1,000 right now.

Image source: Alphabet.

This business is an AI powerhouse
Alphabet (GOOGL +0.06%) (GOOG 0.05%) is a top choice for tech-stock investors. The company is a leader in artificial intelligence (AI), just releasing its latest Gemini 3 Pro large language model, which has been very well-received. Alphabet also makes chips, runs a thriving cloud platform in Google Cloud that is very profitable and growing rapidly, and integrates AI into its user-facing apps.

Alphabet has long dominated the internet age. Its crown jewel segment, Google Search, represented 55% of overall Q3 revenue. And it benefits from a tremendous network effect, which makes it extremely difficult to disrupt.

The valuation remains reasonable
Even with the stock up 69% in 2025 (as of Nov. 26), the valuation is reasonable, at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 31.5. For this valuation, investors are getting one of the most financially sound enterprises on Earth, as Alphabet raked in $24.5 billion in free cash flow last quarter and has $98.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on the balance sheet.

Buying $1,000 worth of Alphabet stock may be a very good move.

Though inflation has improved, it remains one of the most significant threats to an investor's accumulation of wealth. Combined with stock market volatility and broader economic uncertainty, and investors find themselves in a risky environment.

Here's enough information to get you asking more meaningful questions.

Have you heard the buzz surrounding NuScale Power (SMR +5.04%) and want to find out for yourself what the big deal is? Keep reading. Although this shouldn't be the end of your due diligence, these three highlights will at least get you moving in the right direction.

1. NuScale is working on clever nuclear power technology
Until roughly a decade ago, nuclear power was being phased out. Then new materials, know-how, and sheer need rekindled interest in this clean and reliable source of energy.

There's a twist with nuclear's next chapter, though. Many of these power plants are intended to be small modular reactors (or SMRs), built and operated where their power is to be consumed. Artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, desalination plants, iron smelting facilities, and refineries are all prime candidates for small-scale nuclear power. To this end, Mordor Intelligence believes the worldwide SMR market is poised to triple in size between now and 2030.

Image source: Getty Images.

NuScale Power's sole focus is on the development, construction, and operation of SMRs. Its power plant design, in fact, is the first and (still) only small modular reactor design to win the approval of the United States' Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

2. But NuScale is not alone in this space
NuScale may be positioned to be the first to the U.S. market, and at least one of the earliest to the market overseas. It's not the only name in the nascent small modular reactor space, though. BWXT (BWXT +0.39%), X-Energy, Kairos Power, and Nano Nuclear (NNE +6.03%) are just some of the other smaller outfits directly or indirectly working on similar technology.

Perhaps the biggest threat to NuScale Power's future, however, is the bigger and better-funded companies inching their way into this space. Rolls-Royce (RYCE.F +2.13%), GE Vernova (GEV +1.66%), and Holtec International are also developing SMR technologies, and these companies have the name as well as the fiscal wherewithal to see them fully developed without needing to raise funds in the meantime. It's conceivable that one or more of these rivals could beat NuScale to the market, if not buy their way to the front of the line.

3. Real revenue is years away, with profits even further down the road
Finally, while the tech likely works as intended, building even a small nuclear power plant takes years of planning and permitting, and then years of construction. If all goes as well as hoped with its inaugural project in Romania, as well as with its recent agreement to supply the Tennessee Valley Authority with up to 6 gigawatts' worth of SMR-supplied electricity, meaningful commercial revenue could be flowing somewhere around 2030, give or take. Just bear in mind that revenue isn't the same as profits.

Also, remember that both of these agreements -- neither of which is absolutely ironclad -- will require government regulatory oversight of the construction of these facilities. As such, the journey to real revenue could end up taking far longer than is currently anticipated. And nothing works against a stock's value like taking too long to pan out.

The labor shortage isn't coming -- it's already here. And this fund owns the companies solving it.

The factory of the future won't have a labor shortage -- because it won't need much labor at all. That's not a dystopian prediction. It's an economic necessity already unfolding across the manufacturing world.

The U.S. alone is projected to face a shortfall of 1.9 million manufacturing workers by 2033. China's working-age population is shrinking. Germany and Japan are graying fast. For companies building the next generation of semiconductor fabs, electric vehicle (EV) battery plants, and re-shored supply chains, the math is brutally simple: Automate or don't operate.

Image source: Getty Images.

The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ +0.86%) offers a direct way to invest in this transition -- and I think it will outperform its peers over the next five years. Here's why.

The automation imperative
The bull case for robotics stocks used to hinge on efficiency gains. Robots were nice to have if they saved money. That calculus has fundamentally changed.

Manufacturing wages now average over $100,000 annually, including benefits -- and companies still can't fill positions. The workers simply don't exist. For factory managers, the choice isn't "robot versus worker" anymore. It's "robot versus shutting down the line."

This dynamic creates inelastic demand. Even in a slowdown, manufacturers can't stop buying robots because they're solving for supply constraints, not just cost savings.

What's inside the fund
This exchange-traded fund (ETF) holds 53 securities, with its top 10 positions accounting for approximately 60% of the fund's assets. That concentration is intentional. Another notable feature is that the expense ratio of 0.68% is slightly higher than the average of 0.61% for thematic ETFs.

So, what's inside the fund? Nvidia leads with 11.8% of assets. The company's Isaac simulation platform and Project GR00t foundation model are compressing robot development timelines from years to months.

ABB follows at 8.9%, offering exposure to both industrial robotics and electrification. Fanuc, offering exposure to the world's largest installed base of industrial robots, comprises 7.6% of the fund.

Intuitive Surgical offers defensive healthcare exposure at 7.3% through its dominant da Vinci surgical systems. And Keyence, a supplier of machine vision sensors, is essential as robots move from caged factory floors to unstructured environments and accounts for 5.7% of the fund.

This isn't a diversified technology fund. It's a concentrated position in the specific companies building the physical infrastructure of the artificial intelligence (AI) era.

The geographic advantage
Perhaps the most underappreciated aspect of the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF is its geographic positioning. Approximately 49% of the fund is invested in the U.S., with 26% in Japan and 9% in Switzerland. South Korea accounts for another 4%.

As Western nations actively de-risk supply chains away from China, Japanese robotics exporters are the primary beneficiaries. Fanuc's new Michigan facility expansion signals where growth is heading. The fund has minimal direct exposure to Chinese equities, insulating it from the regulatory uncertainty plaguing that market.

The friend-shoring tailwind
The CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act are driving a manufacturing construction boom. However, there's a lag effect that most investors overlook: The semiconductor fabs and battery plants breaking ground now will need to be equipped with robots as soon as 2026.

The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF owns the companies that will supply that equipment. That alone is a compelling reason to invest in this robotics ETF.

Built for the labor crunch
The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF is not suitable for investors seeking broad diversification. It's a concentrated, thematic investment in the convergence of artificial intelligence and physical automation.

The risks are real. Nvidia trades at a premium valuation. Fanuc still derives meaningful revenue from a slowing Chinese market. Semiconductor cycles can turn quickly.

But the structural tailwinds -- demographic decline, reshoring, and the maturation of AI from chatbots to robots -- create demand that's difficult to derail. For investors willing to ride the volatility, the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF offers the purest exposure to what could be the defining industrial trend of the next decade.

"Zootopia 2," Disney's animated adventure about a city of animals, racked up an estimated $556 million in global movie ticket sales over the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend, according to studio estimates on Sunday.

Philips pioneered detector-based spectral CT, which has been widely adopted in clinical routine exams across anatomies, supported by over 800 peer-reviewed publications [1]CE-marked, 510k pending Verida CT [2] integrates AI across the imaging chain, providing superb image quality while accelerating workflow and reducing dose [3, 4] Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Chicago, USA – At RSNA 2025, Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the launch of Verida, the world’s first detector-based spectral CT fully powered by AI. This marks a transformative milestone in CT, with AI optimizing the entire imaging chain – lowering system noise, elevating image quality, and accelerating clinical workflow.

With over 800 global installations and supported by over 800 peer-reviewed publications, Philips’ spectral CT uses PACS-native delivery and has been fully embedded into clinical workflow. Spectral CT measures how tissues absorb different x-ray energy levels, enabling differentiation of materials that appear identical on conventional CT. Philips has pioneered detector-based spectral CT, delivering multiple spectral results from a single scan with no tradeoffs in performance or scan time.

Now, by integrating AI across the imaging chain, from acquisition to reconstruction, Philips Verida generates industry-leading, superior spectral image quality with minimal noise, in addition to high-definition conventional images. With its full AI capabilities, Verida can achieve dramatic dose reduction [5] without compromising image quality and reduce energy consumption by up to 45% [6].

“The clinical benefits of Verida will fundamentally change my approach to cardiac imaging,” said Prof. Eliseo Vañó Galván, cardiovascular radiologist, Chairman of the CT & MR Department at Hospital Nuestra. Sra. Del Rosario, Madrid, Spain. “With more comprehensive insights in every cardiac CT, I plan to make spectral imaging routine for all patients – building toward a fully spectral CT department. We evaluated many systems, including photon-counting CT, but chose Philips because it delivers the precision we need in a streamlined, easy-to-use platform. The result is greater diagnostic confidence and the potential to reduce the need for invasive angiograms – not just in cardiology, but across other clinical areas as well [7].”

Verida reconstructs 145 images per second, so entire exams automatically appear in less than 30 seconds – 2× faster than before and enabling up to 270 exams every day [8]. Building on Philips’ proprietary Spectral Precise Image technology – a deep learning AI reconstruction engine combined with advanced spectral imaging – and its third-generation Nano-panel Precise dual-layer detector with intrinsic noise reduction optimized for AI, Verida is designed to deliver faster, more dose-efficient spectral reconstructions. This enables clinicians to access rich spectral information from a single scan.

“Combining the latest advances in our proven spectral CT technology with AI, our flagship Verida CT system is designed to set a new standard in superior image quality and accelerated scans which are fully embedded in the radiology workflow, all to help clinicians detect and characterize disease earlier, reduce variability in diagnoses, and support efficient treatment pathways – in a single scan,” said Dan Xu, Business Leader of CT at Philips. “While photon-counting CT adds complexity, is yet to move from the research arena into clinical practice, Philips spectral CT has been a clinical workhorse for more than a decade and delivers comparable or better clinical outcomes, standing up to the most demanding throughput and at significantly lower total cost of ownership”.

Verida extends Philips’ software-defined CT approach, pairing AI-driven spectral precision to advance both clinical and operational outcomes. Built for high-demand environments, it streamlines workflows, reduces repeat scans, and delivers consistently sharp imaging across all care pathways.

Philips is debuting Verida at RSNA 2025, with availability in select markets beginning in 2026 [9].
