Airbnb těží z role oficiálního partnera Mistrovství světa ve fotbale 2026, které vyvolalo největší jednorázový nárůst poptávky v historii firmy. Za necelý měsíc akcie vzrostly o 13,1 %.
Investors who put $1,000 into Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) stock at the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup have already generated a double-digit return.
In this line, a $1,000 investment made on June 11, 2026, when Airbnb shares traded at $130, would now be worth approximately $1,131 based on the stock’s July 6 closing price of $147.65. The investment gained about $131, representing a return of roughly 13.1% in less than a month.
Airbnb one-month stock price chart. Source: Google Finance The strong Airbnb stock performance has coincided with the company’s role as the official alternative accommodations partner for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The expanded 48-team tournament has created what Airbnb describes as the largest single-event demand surge in its history.
The World Cup features 104 matches and is expected to attract millions of fans, with Airbnb projecting more than 380,000 guests will book accommodations through its platform during the tournament, surpassing demand seen during the Paris Olympics.
The tournament has also boosted local economies. In Miami, Airbnb expects about 31,000 guests to generate $384 million in economic output and nearly $20 million in host earnings, while Atlanta could see up to $70 million in economic impact. To meet demand, the company has offered incentives of up to $750 for new hosts.
Alongside its World Cup partnership, Airbnb expanded its platform through its 2026 Summer Release, adding car rentals, airport pickups, grocery delivery, boutique hotels, and enhanced AI-powered tools.
The company has also launched football-themed experiences hosted by former players and introduced select listings across all 16 host cities that include complimentary match tickets, with bookings averaging about $385 per night.
Airbnb stock fundamentals The World Cup boost comes as Airbnb continues to post strong financial results. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported revenue of $2.68 billion, up 18% year-over-year, while maintaining strong profitability with trailing 12-month earnings per share of about $4.05 and free cash flow margins above 60%.
For the second quarter, Airbnb guided revenue between $3.54 billion and $3.60 billion, representing growth of 14% to 16%, and raised its full-year outlook to low-to-mid-teens expansion.
With earnings due on August 5 and the World Cup entering its final stages, investors will be watching whether tournament-driven demand can support further gains in Airbnb stock.
Palantir potřebuje přesvědčit Wall Street, že udrží rychlý růst komerčních tržeb, zrychlí ziskovost a promění AIP v škálovatelnou softwarovou platformu.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR +0.81%) has done almost everything that investors asked of it.
The company is growing rapidly. It's generating meaningful profits. And demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) software continues to accelerate. Yet the stock remains well below its late-2025 peak. So what's holding it back? The answer probably isn't the lack of another blockbuster earnings report.
Instead, I think Wall Street wants answers to three important questions before becoming bullish on the stock again.
Image source: Getty Images.
Can Palantir keep winning commercial customers? If there's one number investors should keep an eye on with regards to Palantir, it is the company's U.S. commercial revenue.
For years, Palantir's biggest strength was its tight relationship with Washington, D.C., which had helped it win numerous government contracts. Yet that was also the source of much criticism of the company. While those contracts provided it with stability, they also led many investors to question how large a business that was so reliant on a single customer could become.
That narrative is changing. In its latest reported quarter, U.S. commercial revenue surged more than 130% year over year to $595 million. Comparatively, U.S. government revenue grew by "just" 84% to $687 million.
That's a great start. But Wall Street isn't looking backward. It's looking forward. The question now is whether Palantir will be able to sustain strong commercial growth after the initial wave of enterprise AI adoption.
If it can, investors may begin viewing Palantir less as a niche government contractor and more as one of the leading enterprise AI software companies. That would be a meaningful shift that could change the stock price's trajectory.

Can earnings finally catch up with the valuation? The second question has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with valuation.
Palantir's recent share price decline doesn't necessarily mean investors have lost confidence in the business. Instead, many have become less willing to pay such a large premium for anticipated future growth. For perspective, the stock still trades at a premium valuation, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 141 (as of this writing).
That's why the next phase of Palantir's story can't be simply about growing revenue. It will have to be about growing earnings. The idea is simple. Expensive stocks become more attractive when the underlying business keeps improving, while the stock goes nowhere.
We've seen this before. After the dot-com bubble burst, companies like Microsoft spent years growing earnings while their share prices moved very little. Eventually, the businesses caught up with their valuations, laying the foundation for another long period of strong shareholder returns.
In other words, Palantir needs to keep executing, and it needs to grow its profitability over time.
Can Palantir become a true software platform? Whether Palantir can become a widely used AI platform provider may be the most difficult question of all to answer.
It has already proven it can solve complex problems for its customers. Now investors want proof that it can do so at scale. Products like the Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) suggest the company is moving in the right direction. Rather than relying as heavily as it used to on customized deployments, Palantir is increasingly offering repeatable software that can be adopted across multiple industries.
If it continues down this path, its business model would become much more scalable. And scalable software platforms tend to enjoy stronger operating leverage, wider margins, and longer growth runways than businesses that rely heavily on customized implementations.
In other words, investors aren't just betting on AI. They're betting that Palantir can become one of the defining enterprise software platforms of the AI era.
What does it mean for investors? Palantir's recent stock performance has been disappointing, despite the business's ongoing strong performance. Its latest results suggest demand remains strong, commercial adoption continues to accelerate, and management is executing well.
This suggests that investors are becoming more cautious about the company's long-term prospects.
For the stock price to rally again, Palantir will need to exceed investors' current expectations, largely by sustaining commercial business growth, delivering massive earnings expansion, and continuing to transform AIP into a highly scalable software platform.
For now, investors should spend less time watching its daily share price movements and more time watching its progress on those three aspects of the business.
Zillow uvedl, že v červnu prodeje domů v meziročním srovnání vzrostly o 5,9 % a nové nabídky o 3 %, zatímco typická měsíční splátka hypotéky klesla o 2,5 %.
Lower mortgage costs and sales jump offer hope, even as inventory growth hits a three-year low
Home sales jumped 5.9% from last year, according to Zillow's June Market Report, reversing May's decline. New listings grew 3% annually after falling in May, though total inventory has nearly stalled after a long run of gains. Listing trends are diverging by price tier, with more inventory and sales for lower-priced homes. Lower mortgage rates helped push the typical monthly payment 2.5% below year-ago levels. , /PRNewswire/ -- Home sales jumped in June and mortgage costs fell further below last year's levels, offering some hope for a mild sales recovery this year, according to the Zillow® June Market Report.
Sales climbed 9.2% from May and are now 5.9% above year-ago levels, a trend reversal after sales fell on an annual basis in May. Affordability continued to improve, as well, with the cost of a typical mortgage down 2.5% from last year, before taxes and insurance. Mortgage rates are driving the improvement, down more than 20 basis points since last year, according to Freddie Mac. The typical U.S. home value of $372,057 is up just 1.1% from a year ago.
In another reversal from May, new listings rose 3% year over year, a sign that there may yet be some life left in this year's home shopping season. Total inventory rose again on a year-over-year basis, extending a long streak of gains. But the gain was just 0.9%, the smallest since December 2023.
"The market wrestled with some uncertainty throughout the spring shopping season, but mortgage rates declining from their mid-spring peak has added some extra heat as we head into an already toasty summer," said Mischa Fisher, chief economist at Zillow. "While the lowest price tiers are exhibiting some softness in terms of price, they also had the most listing-activity growth, the first time since 2022 that's been the case. While the divergence in sale price is notably 'k-shaped,' affordability gains did continue in June."
Home Values & Mortgage Payments
The typical U.S. home value is $372,057. The Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) rose 0.7% month over month in June. Home values are 1.1% higher than a year earlier. The monthly mortgage payment on a typical U.S. home is $1,884, assuming a 20% down payment and excluding taxes and insurance. That is 2.5% lower than last year. Inventory
There were 1.39 million homes for sale nationwide in June. Active inventory was 0.9% higher than a year earlier. Inventory rose 2% from May. New for-sale listings totaled 403,811 in June, up 3% from a year earlier and down 4.6% from May. Sales
381,125 homes were sold in June, according to the preliminary Zillow sales count nowcast. That is 5.9% higher than a year earlier and up 9.2% from May. These figures will be revised mid-month. Newly pending listings, which measures listings that changed from for-sale to pending status rather than closed sales, shows 7.6% growth from a year earlier and a 1.5% decrease from May. Competition
Homes took a median of 20 days to go pending in June. That was the same as a year earlier and two days slower than in May. The share of listings with a price cut in June was 25.8%. That was down from 26.6% a year earlier and up from 23.9% in May. 30.3% of homes sold above list price in May, the most recent data available. That's compared to 31.1% a year earlier and 28.3% in April. Rents
The typical rent nationwide is $1,965, according to the Zillow Observed Rent Index. That's 2.2% higher than a year earlier and up 0.4% from May. 39.7% of rental listings on Zillow offered a concession in June. That's up from 39.5% in May, and up from 35.2% a year earlier. Local data can be found on Zillow's market explorer. The Zillow July Market Report is expected to be released August 5.

Raytheon s evropskými partnery, včetně Diehl Defence, zdvojnásobí výrobu střel Stinger kvůli rostoucí globální poptávce. Finální kompletace proběhne v Nizozemsku.
European production to boost output and strengthen the transatlantic defense industrial base
, /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, is working with European companies, including Diehl Defence, to double Stinger® missile production in response to growing global demand.
Working with Raytheon, Diehl Defence will produce the guidance section, a key component of the Stinger missile, and source related subcomponents from across Europe. Raytheon is also working with key Dutch suppliers to produce additional major Stinger assemblies. The final Stinger missile will be assembled, tested and completed in the Netherlands.
"We are laser-focused on doubling our Stinger missile production capacity," said Tom Laliberty, president of Land & Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. "Expanding Stinger production in Europe strengthens our industrial base and broadens our global network, ensuring our allies have reliable access to this critical air defense capability."
The Stinger missile is a lightweight, combat-proven and self-contained air defense system deployed by ground troops against cruise missiles and aircraft. Stinger is the preferred surface-to-air missile for 24 countries, including 10 NATO members.
"We are proud to work together once again on Stinger, where we previously produced relevant parts of the missile," said Helmut Rauch, Diehl Defence CEO. "Producing the guidance section for new Stinger systems marks another strong chapter of cooperation between Diehl Defence and Raytheon."
The expanded production capacity in Europe will help support future work with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, known as the NSPA, to meet European demand.

Raytheon, divize RTX, rozšiřuje ve spolupráci s vládou USA a několika členskými státy NATO výrobu střel AMRAAM a provádí sérii studií proveditelnosti, aby kvalifikoval další dodavatele v Evropě pro prioritní komponenty. Cílem je zvýšit kapacitu, urychlit dodávky a posílit odolnost dodavatelského řetězce.
Feasibility studies launched to expand European co-production and accelerate deliveries
, /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, today announced an important step forward in expanding global production capacity for the AMRAAM® missile.
Working in partnership with the U.S. government and multiple NATO nations, Raytheon is conducting a series of feasibility studies to qualify additional suppliers in Europe for priority AMRAAM components. This activity is funded by participating allies and is designed to increase production capacity, accelerate deliveries, enhance supply chain resilience and support the urgent air defense needs of both U.S. and European forces.
"Expanding AMRAAM production capacity is essential to meeting the urgent air defense needs of the United States and our allies," said Michael P. Duffey, U.S. Department of War Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment. "As the world's most advanced air-to-air missile, AMRAAM is central to maintaining our operational edge. This is the kind of practical industrial cooperation that turns Allied commitments into tangible warfighting capability, strengthens burden sharing and ensures the United States and its Allies continue to deliver capability at the speed today's security environment demands."
Additional nations are expected to join this multinational collaboration to expand industrial capacity and meet growing global demand for AMRAAM.
The combat-proven AMRAAM remains the most capable air-to-air missile system in the world, and a cornerstone of air superiority for more than 40 nations.
"This initiative underscores how industry and governments can work together to strengthen the transatlantic defense industrial base," said Sam Deneke, president of Air & Space Defense Systems at Raytheon. "With allies investing in expanded capacity and the U.S. government supporting the policy framework needed to enable it, we can accelerate delivery of this proven capability to the warfighters who rely on AMRAAM every day."
A signing ceremony recognizing the cooperation between the United States, participating allies and Raytheon occurred today during the NATO Summit. It was attended by senior government officials, including Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, the Honorable Michael Duffey, and international counterparts.

ServiceNow stock is gaining positive traction. What’s pushing NOW stock higher? What Is Driving ServiceNow’s Stock Momentum?The move follows ServiceNow’s rollout with Accenture of two AI-focused offerings: managed security services built on the ServiceNow AI Platform and an Accenture AI-powered automation solution aimed at lowering the cost and complexity of modernizing enterprise risk and security operations. The news flow also includes an upgrade to Buy from Guggenheim, which framed the pullback as a better entry setup.
Critical Price Levels To Watch For NOW StockThe bigger-picture chart is still in repair mode: the stock is down 47.86% over the past 12 months and remains 15.9% below its 200-day SMA ($132.45), which is why rallies can still face "prove it" price action. That said, the near-term trend has improved with shares trading 9.7% above the 20-day SMA ($101.54), 11.2% above the 50-day SMA ($100.25), and 8.3% above the 100-day SMA ($102.88).
Momentum looks like it’s trying to turn the corner using MACD as the cleaner read here: MACD is above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which points to improving upside pressure versus the prior downswing. In plain terms, when MACD is above the signal line, it suggests downside momentum is fading and buyers are gaining traction.
The moving-average structure is mixed, which fits the "bounce vs. trend reversal" debate. The 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA (bullish), but the death cross from August 2025 (50-day below 200-day) is still a longer-term headwind until price can reclaim and hold that long average.
Key Resistance: $126.50 — a nearby ceiling that lines up closely with the 200-day EMA ($126.10), a common area where countertrend rallies can stall Key Support: $89.50 — a prior demand zone that sits above the 52-week low area ($81.24), making it a key "last line" if the bounce fails How ServiceNow Operates in the SaaS MarketServiceNow provides software solutions to structure and automate various business processes via a SaaS delivery model, with a core focus on the IT function for enterprise customers. It started in IT service management, expanded across IT workflows, and has pushed workflow automation into customer service, HR service delivery, and security operations.
That backdrop matters for the Accenture tie-up because security operations and risk workflows are areas where large enterprises often want packaged solutions plus implementation help. Partnerships that bundle platform software with services can shorten adoption cycles, but the stock still needs follow-through on monetization to shift the longer-term trend.
ServiceNow Earnings Preview for July 2026Looking further out, the next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the July 22, 2026 (confirmed) earnings report.
EPS Estimate: 76 cents (Down from 82 cents YoY) Revenue Estimate: $3.93 Billion (Up from $3.21 Billion YoY) Valuation: P/E of 64.2x (Indicates premium valuation relative to peers) Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions: The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price target of $138.21. Recent analyst moves include:
Guggenheim: Upgraded to Buy (Target $125.00) (July 1) BTIG: Buy (Maintains Target $150.00) (June 29) Benchmark: Buy (Raises Target $130.00) (June 15) ServiceNow’s Benzinga Edge Scorecard BreakdownBelow is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for ServiceNow, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market:
The Verdict: ServiceNow’s Benzinga Edge signal reveals a growth-heavy profile with weak value and weak momentum, meaning the setup can work, but it tends to need sustained upside follow-through to justify the premium. For longer-term bulls, reclaiming the 200-day area is the cleaner "trend repair" tell; for risk control, the $89.50 zone is the key downside level to monitor.
ServiceNow Stock Price Movement NOW Stock Price Activity: ServiceNow shares were up 3.40% at $111.60 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Rivian v tomto měsíci roste díky silným dodávkám a technický výhled potvrzuje býčí trend po průrazu nad 18,17 USD. Společnost zároveň oznámila, že ve 2. čtvrtletí dodala 12 194 vozů.
Rivian stock is doing well this month and beating its top rivals like Lucid and Tesla, helped by its strong vehicle delivery numbers. RIVN soared to $20.15 on Monday, its highest level since January 8. This rally may continue ahead of its earnings, which are coming out on July 30th.
The daily chart suggests that Rivian shares may have some more upside to go in the near term. It has already formed a golden cross pattern as the 50-day and 200-day moving averages crossed each other. Since then, the stock has remained above these two averages.
Most notably, the stock has formed an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. It has already moved above the neckline at $18.17, confirming the bullish outlook. At the same time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has continued rising in the near term.
Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising in the near term as investors embrace the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). If this works, the next important target to watch will be at $22.72.
This surge will not be linear. Instead, the stock may retreat and retest the support of $18.17. Such a move is known as a break-and-retest and is a common bullish continuation sign.
RIVN stock chart | Source: TradingView
The ongoing Rivian stock surge is happening at a time when demand for the vehicles is rising. In a recent statement, the company said that its deliveries rose to 12,194 in the second quarter.
It produced 12,613 vehicles, a trend that may continue once it completes building its plant in Georgia. Its existing plant can make 200k vehicles a year, while its upcoming one in Georgia will make 400k vehicles.
Rivian is benefiting from the rising demand for electric vehicles after gasoline prices jumped during the US-Iran conflict. Also, it is benefiting from the recently R2 vehicle, whose production has started to pile up. The company also aims to launch a cheaper R3 crossover and R3x vehicles to give customers access to a high-performance, lower-cost vehicle.
Most importantly, after years of selling its vehicles domestically, the company is seeking to grow its business in Europe, with estimates being that it will start doing so next year. This will not be an easy thing as Europe is already saturated with domestic vehicle manufacturers and those from China.
As a result, analysts believe that its growth will gain momentum in the coming years. The annual revenue is expected to jump by 30% this year to $7 billion, followed by a 65% jump next year to $11.6 billion. If this trend continues, it may get to $20 billion in annual revenue in the coming years.
The risk, however, is that the company continues to lose money in the coming years. In a recent statement, the management noted that it will not achieve an EBITDA profit next year.
As such, with the cash burn continuing, the company may dilute its shareholders soon. It has a long history of diluting its shareholders, with its total outstanding shares rising to 1.26 billion from 892 million in 2022.
Also, the stock is nearing the targets set by analysts. Needham has a target of $23, while Cowen, BNP Paribas, and Benchmark are targeting $20, $22, and $25.

Na společnost AeroVironment byla podána hromadná žaloba v souvislosti s údajným klamáním investorů ohledně kontraktu SCAR pro U.S. Space Force. Akcie po zprávě 2. března 2026 spadly o 17,42 %.
A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of AeroVironment investors after its stock plummeted over 17% because AeroVironment allegedly misled investors regarding its SCAR contract to provide the U.S. Space Force with its BADGER systems.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in AeroVironment, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/aerovironment-class-action-lawsuit.
Key Details of the AeroVironment ($AVAV) Class Action:
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 27, 2026 Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to AeroVironment's contract to provide the U.S. Space Force's SCAR program with its BADGER phased array antenna systems Largest Alleged Stock Drop: March 2, 2026 – 17% Stock Drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until July 27, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in AeroVironment securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. It is captioned Norrell v. AeroVironment, et al., No. 26-cv-01429.
Why is AeroVironment Being Sued for Securities Fraud?
In May 2025, AeroVironment acquired BlueHalo, LLC, a defense technology firm specializing in advanced engineering. Three years earlier, BlueHalo had been awarded a $1.4 billion contract to deliver its BADGER phased array antenna systems to support the U.S. Space Force's SCAR program.
According to the complaint, during the relevant period, AeroVironment consistently touted its SCAR contract and indicated it represented a "tremendous growth opportunity," that AeroVironment's work pursuant to the contract was "very much on track," that the customer was "asking for more [BADGER systems]," and that the Company stood "ready to build more."
As alleged, in truth, AeroVironment faced a significant likelihood of competition for the SCAR program and overstated its goodwill from its BlueHalo acquisition.
BFA Law is also investigating AeroVironment's June 22, 2026, announcement that the financial statements in its quarterly report for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 "require restatement and should no longer be relied upon."
Why did AeroVironment's Stock Drop?
On January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government issued a stop work order on the Company's agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program, upon mutual agreement with the Company. This news caused the price of AeroVironment common stock to decline $61.97 per share, or 15.77%, from $392.86 per share on January 16, 2026, to $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.
On March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program to suppliers other than AeroVironment and "are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR" which would "likely take the form of other companies building versions or variants of SCAR." On this news, AeroVironment's common stock dropped $43.93 per share, or 17.42%, from $284.24 per share at open on March 2, 2026, to a close of $208.32 per share.
Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced its Q3 financial results reporting an operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. The company also announced the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the AeroVironment's space division after the stop work order tied to the Space Force's SCAR program. This news caused the price of AeroVironment common stock to drop $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, from $221.57 per share on March 10, 2026, to $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.

Caesars Entertainment dál tíží dluh kolem 11,9 miliardy USD a zhruba 2,3 miliardy USD ročních úroků. Firma v 1. čtvrtletí 2026 opět vykázala ztrátu a minula očekávání zisku.
Sometimes a stock looks cheap for a reason. Most of the time, the reason is macro trends affecting the industry the stock is in. No matter how nice it looks on paper, no matter how much value you perceive…it could get worse. Beware of those value traps. One way to avoid them is by leaning on the Zack Rank. Stocks in the bad graces of our Zacks Rank often have earnings estimates moving in the wrong direction.
Today’s Bear of the Day is one of those names. It’s Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) Caesars Entertainment ((CZR - Free Report) ). Caesars remains one of the biggest names in gaming, operating iconic Las Vegas resorts alongside a massive portfolio of regional casinos and a growing digital sportsbook business. But despite its recognizable brands, the investment story continues to be weighed down by one overwhelming issue, debt.
The company carries approximately $11.9 billion in debt, and that's before factoring in billions more in long-term lease obligations tied to its casino real estate. Those financial commitments translate into roughly $2.3 billion in annual interest expense, making it difficult for Caesars to consistently generate meaningful profits even when business conditions are favorable.
The result has been a string of disappointing bottom-line results. Caesars posted another loss in the first quarter of 2026, missing Wall Street earnings expectations as higher interest costs continued to eat away at operating performance. While revenue has remained relatively stable, growth has been sluggish, and adjusted EBITDA has largely stalled despite continued consumer spending.
That's a problem because gaming is an inherently cyclical business. Las Vegas visitation fluctuates with the economy, regional casinos depend heavily on discretionary consumer spending, and digital sports betting remains an intensely competitive market with high customer acquisition costs and evolving regulatory hurdles. If the economy slows, consumers typically cut back on vacations, casino visits, and entertainment spending long before reducing essential purchases.
The stock has missed earnings expectations for six consecutive quarters, helping to prompt analysts all over Wall Street to cut their estimates. The Leisure and Recreational Services industry ranks in the Bottom 16% of our Zacks Industry Rank. There are a few stocks within this industry that are in the good graces of our Rank. These include Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) The Marcus ((MCS - Free Report) ) and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality ((PRSU - Free Report) ).
SoFi spustila ETF SFYI, který investuje do 50 nejčastěji držených amerických akcií v účtech SoFi a přidává aktivně řízenou opční strategii pro měsíční příjem a růst.
The Social 50 Income ETF combines exposure to stocks widely held in SoFi member-driven accounts, with an active options strategy that seeks monthly income and long-term growth
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), the everything app for digital financial services, today announced the availability of a new exchange-traded fund (ETF), the SoFi Social 50 Income ETF (NYSE Arca: SFYI). SFYI invests in the top 50 U.S.-listed stocks held by SoFi Invest self-directed brokerage accounts and adds an actively managed options strategy designed to pursue monthly income distributions and growth potential.
Many investors use options strategies, like covered calls, as part of an income-oriented investment approach. But putting those strategies into practice can require a significant upfront investment, ongoing risk management, and time to execute.
SFYI offers a simpler way to access potential income by combining a professionally managed options strategy with a diversified portfolio of stocks held in SoFi Invest self-directed brokerage accounts. Through a single ETF, investors can gain exposure to an options-based income strategy without having to build and manage covered call positions on their own.
“Income-seeking investors are being challenged to rethink their traditional playbook amid an uncertain interest rate environment and economic volatility – but they may not know where to start,” said Brian Walsh, Head of Advice and Planning at SoFi. “With SFYI, we are providing investors with another way to pursue their objectives. By combining the most-widely held stocks by members of the SoFi Active Invest community with a strategy that seeks monthly income and potential growth, SFYI helps simplify options-based strategies by offering exposure through a single ETF.”
SFYI offers a simpler path to options-based income with strategies such as covered calls and call spreads. By embedding these tools directly into the fund, investors receive:
Lower Capital Barriers: Covered call strategies typically require owning at least 100 shares of a stock. SFYI provides access to an options-based income strategy through a single ETF. Active Management: The fund is actively managed by professional portfolio managers, removing the need for investors to manually execute and manage options trades. Convenient ETF Structure: SFYI provides an efficient way for investors to access complex options strategies rather than executing them independently. Greater Diversification: Rather than concentrating on a single company stock, the fund's options strategy is applied across a broad portfolio of some of the most widely-held stocks, offering a more diversified approach to income investing. SFYI builds upon SoFi’s existing ETF, the SoFi Social 50 ETF (NYSE Arca: SFYF), which invests in the top 50 stocks most widely held by members of the SoFi Active Invest community, and adds an income-generating options strategy. Current holdings for SFYF, though subject to change, include names such as Tesla, NVIDIA, and Amazon. Stocks are rebalanced monthly and weighted according to how much money members have invested in each company at the end of every month.
SFYI is a series of Tidal Trust I. Tidal Investments LLC, a Tidal Financial Group company, is the Investment Adviser to SFYI with a gross expense ratio of 0.73%. SoFi serves as brand sponsor and marketing support provider, but does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act as investment adviser. SFYI is listed on NYSE Arca and can be purchased through SoFi Invest and other brokerage platforms like other ETFs available in the secondary market.
In addition to SFYI and SFYF, other SoFi-sponsored ETFs are advised by Tidal Investments LLC:

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
If you purchase investment funds, including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), through SoFi Invest, either on your own or with automated investing, the funds have their own management fees. These fees are paid by the fund itself, not directly by you and can reduce the fund's returns. More detailed information about a fund's fees can be found in its prospectus.

Círculo de Crédito is expected to continue to deliver strong high double-digit revenue growth in 2026, and is expected to be accretive to Equifax Adjusted EPS in the first full year of ownership. An investor call and webcast on the agreement will be held on July 7 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).
"The acquisition of Círculo de Crédito will expand Equifax's presence in the fast-growing Mexico market and marks an energizing new global chapter for both companies. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to reinvest our strong free cash flow in accretive and strategic acquisitions to strengthen Equifax. Círculo de Crédito will be our 17th bolt-on acquisition in the past six years, totaling nearly $5 billion. Our strong performance and balance sheet allow Equifax to reinvest in growth, return cash to shareholders and acquire accretive and strategic acquisitions," said Mark W. Begor, CEO of Equifax. "Mexico is one of the fastest-growing credit markets globally. More than 25% of the Mexican population is without access to formal financial products, and nearly 44% of the population does not have a bank account.3 Equifax and Círculo de Crédito have a shared commitment to helping more consumers live their financial best, and together we will continue to offer deeper alternative data and unique insights that can help our customers deliver unique solutions to expand their consumer credit offerings."
Círculo de Crédito is the only Mexican credit bureau currently operating both consumer and commercial credit bureau services – with more than 1,700 bank, retail, fintech, small business lending, micro-finance, and telecommunications customers; and 2 billion tradelines covering 80 million validated identities. The company is a leader in alternative data, or information not included in traditional credit reports, including gig-economy transactions and utility and telecommunications payment history. This alternative data can responsibly expand access to credit and support a more inclusive economy, critical in a country where more than 33 million people4 are engaged in "informal" employment such as unregistered microbusinesses or gig employment.
"We are energized to join the Equifax team and have access to their industry-leading cloud-native technology, platforms, and products to help our customers grow and expand our position in Mexico. Consumer credit growth in Mexico is driven by inclusion and digitization, and Círculo de Crédito has been a first-mover in the market with the market's broadest data set and innovative solutions. We provide strategic data, decision-making, and digital solutions that empower lenders to deliver innovative financial services products across Mexico and expand access to credit for Mexican citizens," said Juan Manuel Ruiz Palmieri, CEO of Círculo de Crédito. "We are excited to integrate cloud-native Equifax data, analytics, and global solutions to help our customers grow."
Under the terms of the agreement, Equifax will acquire 100% of Círculo de Crédito equity from its existing shareholders, including: Banca Afirme, S.A. Institución de Banca Múltiple Afirme Grupo Financiero; Coppel, S.A. de C.V.; Grupo Elektra, S.A.B. de C.V.; and a group of private investors. Upon completion of the acquisition, Juan Manuel Ruiz Palmieri and the Círculo de Crédito team will continue to lead the company, which will join the Equifax International business team. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review and approval, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.

SummaryCompaniesSaab valued the potential purchase at up to $4.5 billionSays could start deliveries in 2030 if a deal were signed soonPrice could range from roughly $400 million to $450 million per aircraftANKARA, July 7 (Reuters) - NATO announced a roughly $4.5 billion plan on Tuesday to buy up to 10 Saab (SAABb.ST), opens new tab GlobalEye surveillance planes to replace ageing AWACS early warning aircraft, backing a Swedish system over a rival solution from U.S. planemaker Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab.
Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the replacement of Cold War-era Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) planes, best known for their rotating radomes, with a new system based on smaller business jets would tackle threats like drone swarms.

"This will ensure we keep NATO's... surveillance and early warning capability strong and credible for decades to come," he said during an event at a NATO summit.
With U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly pressing allies to spend more on defence and buy more U.S. equipment, Rutte took pains to underline the international pedigree of the system which is mounted on top of Bombardier Global 6500 business jets.
"Like its predecessor, GlobalEye is a transatlantic programme, delivered by European and Canadian industries with essential contributions from US industries. It is a real success story, again, made in NATO," he told delegates.
Trump has repeatedly criticised European allies for relying on the U.S. for their security, while pressing them to buy more U.S. weapons. He has also threatened at times to quit NATO.
GlobalEye competes with Boeing's E-7 Wedgetail, an early warning and command-and-control aircraft based on the 737 jetliner and designed to oversee and direct battle.
NATO said GlobalEye was a mission-proven system but did not elaborate.
Saab's shares rose near 4% on Tuesday, outperforming the European aerospace and defence index (.SXPARO), opens new tab that edged lower.
POTENTIAL DELIVERIES FROM 2030Reuters reported on Thursday that NATO would replace its Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS jets with Saab's Swedish GlobalEye.
Technically, NATO is now entering into formal negotiations with Saab after making its provisional selection public.
Saab CEO Micael Johansson valued the purchase at up to $4.5 billion and told reporters that the Swedish group would be able to start deliveries in 2030 if a deal were signed soon.
He added that the final price had not been agreed but that it would be between roughly $400 million and $450 million per aircraft.
The final number of aircraft had been unclear as planners debated whether to order a more expensive version capable of mid-air refuelling.
A person familiar with the matter said the GlobalEyes would not initially have this capability but that it was expected to be added in a later update.
The current AWACS fleet can be refuelled in flight, a capability that has proved valuable for missions near Ukraine.

Garmin uvedl LiveScope 2, svůj dosud nejostřejší živý sonar s až 20% vyšším rozlišením a jednodušší instalací bez black boxu. Řada je už v prodeji za 1 999,99 až 2 199,99 USD.
Next-generation LiveScope 2 and LiveScope 2 HD deliver live sonar images with unprecedented clarity, improved range and simplified installation
, /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), the world's largest1 and most innovative marine electronics manufacturer, today announced the LiveScope™ 2 Series, the next evolution of its award-winning live-scanning sonar lineup. Widely considered one of the most influential innovations in modern fishing electronics, LiveScope lets anglers see real-time views of fish, bait and structure around the boat—now with three new transducer models that offer 20% greater resolution, improved noise reduction and expanded sonar coverage over the previous generation.
LiveScope 2 delivers Garmin’s clearest live sonar yet, helping anglers see fish, bait and structure in real time with improved detail, range and simplified installation. "LiveScope revolutionized the way anglers approach the water by giving them a real-time view of what's happening below the surface. LiveScope 2 builds on that foundation with clearer target separation at both short and long ranges, up to 50% more detail, broader sonar coverage and a streamlined setup that eliminates the need for a black box. Better performance and fewer components give anglers a cleaner setup and more space on the boat, so they can spend less time rigging and more time fishing."
–Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing
Improved detail and expanded coverage
In addition to improved image clarity, the LiveScope 2 Series offers Garmin's smoothest LiveScope sonar with integrated image stabilization, reduced noise and better target separation to help anglers see fish and lures more clearly as they move through the sonar beam in real time. Wider sonar angles improve the coverage in all three modes – Forward, Down and Perspective – and fast processing speeds and low latency help anglers see fish react and time their hookset accordingly.
Designed to give anglers flexibility based on how they fish, the series features three new transducers:
LiveScope 2 (LVS44) builds on the proven technology of LiveScope Plus and delivers 20% more resolution and 25% more range—out to 250 feet—for anglers who want to cover more water and find fish farther from the boat. LiveScope 2 HD (LVS42HD) is optimized for castable distances out to 125 feet with Garmin's clearest live sonar ever, offering 50% more detail at closer ranges compared to the previous model. For hardwater anglers, the LiveScope 2 HD Ice Fishing Transducer delivers the same high-definition sonar with a shorter, flexible cold-water cable and convenient all-in-one power/network cable packaged with the 0-degree shaft mount in the box. Simplified, all-in-one installation
All LiveScope 2 and LiveScope 2 HD transducers connect directly to a compatible Garmin multi-function display (MFD) and power source, eliminating the need for a black box and simplifying installation. Integrated sensors enhance usability, including the built-in water sensor, which automatically turns off the sonar when the transducer gets lifted out of the water, and the onboard water temperature sensor for accurate readings. LiveScope 2 and LiveScope 2 HD come with a trolling motor barrel mount and adjustable Perspective mode mount so the transducers can be easily adjusted to fit an angler's fishing techniques and preferences on the water, no tools required.
For a fully connected fishing system, the LiveScope 2 Series integrates seamlessly across the Garmin marine ecosystem, with combability for accessories like the Spy™ Pole mount for independent sonar control and the GT360UHD transducer for a combined live and 360-degree view around the boat.
The LiveScope 2 Series is available now with suggested retail prices ranging from of $1,999.99 to $2,199.99. To learn more, visit garmin.com/marine.
Engineered on the inside for life on the outside, Garmin products have revolutionized life for anglers, sailors, mariners and boat enthusiasts everywhere. Committed to developing the most innovative, highest quality, and easiest to use marine electronics the industry has ever known, Garmin believes every day is an opportunity to innovate and a chance to beat yesterday. For the 11th consecutive year, Garmin was named the Manufacturer of the Year by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA).

Akcie Fiserv v předobchodní fázi vyskočily o více než 6 % poté, co zpráva uvedla, že několik velkých amerických bank zvažovalo koupi její debetní sítě. Zájem souvisí s rostoucím významem platební infrastruktury.
Shares of Fiserv climbed more than 6% in premarket trading on Tuesday after a report said several of the largest US banks had explored acquiring one of the fintech company's debit-card networks, highlighting the growing strategic importance of payments infrastructure as banks compete with fintech firms and crypto players.
According to The Wall Street Journal, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and PNC Financial Services Group have in recent months held preliminary discussions about a potential acquisition of a payments network owned by Fiserv.
The discussions remain tentative, and there is no certainty that a transaction will materialize.
The report said several banks that reviewed the opportunity have already concluded they are unlikely to proceed.
Reuters also reported that some institutions expressed concerns that such a deal could trigger opposition from lawmakers, regulators, and merchant groups.
The reported discussions underscore how aggressively traditional banks are searching for new ways to strengthen their position in the fast-changing payments industry.
The sector has faced mounting competition from fintech companies and digital assets as the Trump administration has taken a more supportive stance toward financial innovation and cryptocurrencies.
Owning payment infrastructure could provide banks with greater control over transaction processing while potentially creating new revenue opportunities.
The interest in Fiserv's network is also tied to long-running debates over debit-card interchange fees.
Under the Durbin amendment, a provision of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, large banks face limits on the debit-card fees they can collect from merchants when transactions are routed through outside payment networks.
However, banks that own a payments network are exempt from those caps, making ownership of such infrastructure strategically valuable.
Interchange fees are paid by merchants whenever consumers use debit cards and largely flow to the financial institutions issuing those cards.
The Federal Reserve regulates these fees for banks with more than $10 billion in assets.
Banks have long argued that reduced interchange income forced them to scale back free checking accounts and debit-card rewards programs after the Durbin rules took effect.
Merchant groups, meanwhile, maintain that lower fees have helped reduce costs for businesses and ultimately benefited consumers through lower prices.
Fiserv owns the STAR and Accel debit-payment networks, which process debit card transactions across the United States.
According to the company's website, the STAR Network routes debit, ATM, and e-commerce transactions between consumers, merchants, and financial institutions.
The network serves more than 115 million debit-card holders through over 2,800 financial institutions.
The payments infrastructure has become increasingly valuable as banks seek to strengthen their competitive positions in digital payments.
The reported takeover interest comes during a difficult period for Fiserv.
The company has faced significant pressure over the past year, with its shares falling roughly 70% from year-earlier levels before Tuesday's rally.
Inclusion reflects Centrus' growing role in advancing U.S. energy security by strengthening America's nuclear fuel supply chain
, /PRNewswire/ -- Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU), a trusted American supplier of nuclear fuel and services, today announced that the company is set to join the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, effective prior to the opening of trading on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
The company's inclusion in the S&P SmallCap 600 marks an important milestone for Centrus as it works to restore America's domestic uranium enrichment capabilities, strengthen the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain, and support the nation's long-term energy security and energy independence.
"Centrus is proud to play a leading role in rebuilding our nation's domestic nuclear fuel infrastructure at a time when reliable, affordable and secure sources of American energy are more important than ever," said Amir Vexler, President and CEO of Centrus. "Our invitation into the S&P SmallCap 600 reflects the progress our team has made and the expanding role that Centrus will play in fueling the future of nuclear energy here at home and around the world."
Late last year, Centrus launched domestic centrifuge manufacturing to support a major expansion of its uranium enrichment plant in Piketon, Ohio, which is expected to create thousands of jobs across the United States. The expansion will help meet to meet the growing need for commercial Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) for the existing fleet of nuclear reactors; commercial High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), an advanced nuclear fuel needed by many next-generation reactor designs; as well as enriched uranium needed for national security missions. The anticipated multi-billion-dollar scope would make the expansion one of the largest nuclear infrastructure construction projects underway in the United States today.
Last week, Centrus announced that it has signed a contract to finalize the terms of the competitively-awarded, $900 million task order it received earlier this year from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The S&P SmallCap 600 is designed to measure the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. Inclusion in the index follows S&P Dow Jones Indices' announcement that Centrus will replace Whitestone REIT in the index.
About Centrus Energy
Centrus Energy is a trusted American supplier of nuclear fuel and services for the nuclear power industry, helping meet the growing need for clean, affordable, carbon-free energy. Since 1998, the Company has provided its utility customers with more than 1,850 reactor years of fuel, which is equivalent to more than 7 billion tons of coal.
With world-class technical and engineering capabilities, Centrus is pioneering production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium and is leading the effort to restore America's uranium enrichment capabilities at scale so that we can meet our clean energy, energy security, and national security needs.

Comstock Metals integrovala a otestovala robotické nakládání a první dopravní systém v rámci zprovozňování své první průmyslové linky na recyklaci solárních panelů. Kapacita zkoušky překročila odhadovaný maximální návrh o 10 %.
SILVER SPRINGS, Nev., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) and Comstock Metals LLC (“Comstock Metals”), a leader in the responsible, zero-landfill recycling of end-of-life solar panels with the first certified North American operations announced today that it has integrated, tested and operated the robotic loading and initial conveyance system, representing the front-end stages of its production process as part of the overall commissioning of its first-of-a-kind, industry-scale solar recycling facility.
The operating system has three major operating stages that are currently being integrated, individually stress tested and commissioned. This represents another significant step toward the full commissioning, start up and continuous operation of the 100,000 ton per year solar panel recycling production line. The robotic arms and the continuous loading and conveyance systems that feed the initial crushers are now fully integrated and operational.
“We are pleased to report that, as of last week, we completed the wiring, interconnection of the PLC systems, integration and testing of the first third of the plant, and specifically the robotic loading arms and that the initial tests all resulted in effective and expedient loading of the panels into the system. In fact, the loading systems capacity test exceeded our estimated capacity design maximums by 10%,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, CEO of Comstock. “The team will now stress test the particle size reduction stage of the system and continue forward into our proprietary process integration and testing. We remain on track for stress testing those components over the next two weeks.”
Comstock Metals’ robotic arms feeding solar panels onto conveyance system.
“We are now well into the process of bringing the industry-scale production plant online while taking great care to make sure each stage is working as designed and to specification and then stress-testing these processes at volumes representing the equipment’s stated capacities,” stated Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, Comstock Metals President. “The front end is now actually working better than initial designs and has been tested and operating, and we will continue moving through the rest of the production system in that same sequence, such that by next month, the nine distinct unit operations will all be operational together. We are also now leveraging the modular nature of the start-up process to train and develop the operating crews to move from a 24/5 to a 24/7 on a 12-hour rotating shift basis.”
The start-up sequence is largely dictated by the engineering requirements and, to a lesser extent, the responses to continued requests for materials and samples from the growing population of potential offtake customers.
While we work on bringing the recycling process online, we also continue to stress-test the secondary upgrading processes for the offtake products, especially glass, in order to ensure compliance with customer specifications as we continue expanding our addressable markets for those products,” continued Villamagna. “The operating team and the personnel development that resulted from a multi-year demonstration facility is now proving extremely beneficial. These developmental and commissioning activities, along with all aspects of integration, testing, tuning and staged stress testing will continue throughout July, while continuous operations should commence this August.”

Combination of Market Leaders in Engine Maintenance and Cargo Conversion is Expected to Bring a More Cost-Effective Freighter Solution to Airlines Globally July 07, 2026 06:30 ET | Source: FTAI Aviation Ltd.
NEW YORK and MIAMI, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ: FTAI; the "Company" or "FTAI") and Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. ("AEI") today announced a collaboration focused on delivering a more cost-effective Boeing 737-800 freighter solution to airline partners globally. The collaboration will combine FTAI's engine maintenance capabilities with AEI's cargo conversion leadership to deliver customized freighter aircraft at scale and at a lower cost.
“The Boeing 737-800 is poised to become the workhorse of narrowbody freight, but growth has been constrained by the lack of an engine solution designed for cargo economics,” said David Moreno, President of FTAI. “We can build and maintain lower cycle engines customized for cargo enabling FTAI and AEI to deliver aircraft at a significantly lower operating cost. This collaboration adds cargo to FTAI’s CFM56 platform, extending the engine’s lifecycle across passenger, cargo and power.”
“AEI has led the global narrowbody freighter conversion market for over 60 years and has converted more aircraft than any other provider in the industry,” said Robert T. Convey, Senior Vice President at AEI. “Combining our conversion expertise with FTAI's engine maintenance services gives airlines a proven path to freighter capacity built for the long term.”
With almost 6,000 aircraft delivered, the Boeing 737-800 is the most widely produced narrowbody in aviation history, giving it the scale to anchor the freighter market for many years. FTAI’s ability to provide CFM56 engines is critical to support the market at scale and its aftermarket engine maintenance capabilities will play a central role in ensuring the aircraft can fly reliably and cost-effectively for airlines worldwide. As a global leader in passenger to freighter conversions for a wide array of aircraft, AEI has developed over 130 Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs), 625+ aircraft have been modified with AEI STCs – more than any other conversion provider.

Apple v Číně během promo akce 618 prodal meziročně o 9 % méně iPhonů, i když díky slevám vystoupal na 2. místo v žebříčku smartphonů. Celý trh se propadl o 13 %.
Apple’s Discounts Boost Market ShareAccording to Counterpoint Research, Apple’s iPhone sales fell 9% year over year during the four-week 618 promotional period, despite a strong sequential rebound.
The company began promotions about a month before the annual shopping festival, offering savings of up to 2,000 yuan (about $290) on the iPhone 17 Pro series through official discounts, e-commerce platform incentives, and trade-in offers. Those promotions helped Apple climb to the No. 2 spot in China’s smartphone rankings.
The research firm said the year-over-year decline reflected tougher comparisons, as Apple had run even more aggressive promotions for the iPhone 16 series during last year’s 618 event.
China’s Smartphone Market Faces Broad SlowdownThe broader Chinese smartphone market remained under pressure. Counterpoint estimated total smartphone sales fell 13% from a year earlier during the promotional period as rising memory prices forced manufacturers to raise prices and scale back discounts. The weaker promotional environment dampened already soft consumer demand.
Huawei Outperforms RivalsHuawei was the standout performer, becoming the only major smartphone brand to post year-over-year growth. The company captured a 21% market share, driven by strong demand for the Enjoy 90 Pro Max and solid performance from the Mate 80.
Counterpoint also noted that Chinese Android vendors, including OPPO, HONOR, vivo and Xiaomi, all posted double-digit sales declines as manufacturers prioritized profitability over aggressive discounting.
Counterpoint Sees More Weakness AheadLooking ahead, Counterpoint expects China’s smartphone market to weaken further in the second half of 2026. The firm said vendors and supply chain partners have signaled that higher prices are likely to persist, while manufacturers continue adopting a profit-first strategy and trimming shipment plans. As a result, Counterpoint forecasts a double-digit decline in China’s smartphone shipments for the full year.
Apple Stock Technical AnalysisApple continues to trade well above its major moving averages, signaling a strong long-term uptrend. The stock sits 6.8% above its 20-day simple moving average, 7% above its 50-day SMA, 13.6% above its 100-day SMA and 16.2% above its 200-day SMA.
The 20-day SMA remains above the 50-day SMA, while the 50-day stays above the 200-day SMA, reinforcing a bullish “golden cross” formation.
Momentum indicators also remain constructive. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is above its signal line, suggesting buyers continue to control the near-term trend despite the stock’s extended rally.
On the upside, resistance is near $317.50, close to Apple’s 52-week high of about $317.40. A decisive move above that level could attract additional buying interest. On the downside, initial support sits around $287.50, near the rising 20-day and 50-day moving averages.
Apple Earnings And Analyst OutlookApple is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on July 30. Wall Street expects earnings of $1.89 per share, up from $1.57 a year earlier, on revenue of $108.86 billion compared with $94.04 billion in the prior-year period.
The stock trades at about 37.9 times earnings, reflecting a premium valuation.
Analysts maintain a consensus Buy rating with an average price forecast of $324.16. Recent analyst moves include Evercore ISI reiterating an Outperform rating with a $365 price forecast, KGI Securities downgrading the stock to Hold with a $315 price forecast, and Bank of America maintaining a Buy rating with a $380 price forecast.
Apple Price ActionAAPL Stock Price Activity: Apple shares were up 0.65% at $314.68 during premarket trading on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Moderna letos více než zdvojnásobila cenu akcií, protože trh sází na její pipeline a pokrok u vakcíny proti chřipce. Firma míří k uvedení několika produktů v letech 2027 a 2028, včetně sezónní vakcíny proti chřipce, kombinované vakcíny proti chřipce/COVID-19 a norovirové vakcíny.
Moderna's (MRNA +2.57%) share price has more than doubled this year as the market has grown increasingly optimistic about the company's pipeline and encouraging regulatory progress for its flu vaccine. But after such a sharp rally, it's fair to ask whether there's still an opportunity here to make some money.
What comes next for Moderna? The investment case for Moderna isn't just about COVID-19 vaccines anymore. It's about what comes next.
Today, the company has three commercial products, multiple late-stage vaccine programs, and an expanding pipeline that stretches well beyond infectious diseases. Moderna is developing personalized cancer vaccines in partnership with Merck and pursuing therapies for rare genetic disorders.
Image source: Getty Images.
The company is now preparing for multiple product launches in 2027 and 2028, including seasonal flu, a flu/COVID-19 combination vaccine, and a norovirus vaccine. That's a dramatically different company than the one investors knew during the pandemic, when nearly all of its revenue came from a single COVID-19 vaccine. If even a handful of these late-stage programs reach the market, Moderna could become a much more diversified biotechnology company with multiple sources of recurring revenue. And the financial picture is improving, too.
Possible breakeven by 2028 During the first quarter of 2026, Moderna generated $389 million in revenue, up from $108 million a year earlier. Although the company still posted a net loss, it finished the quarter with approximately $7.5 billion in cash and investments, providing it with ample resources to continue funding its research pipeline. Management also continues targeting up to 10% revenue growth in 2026 while working toward cash breakeven by 2028.
The biggest near-term catalyst may be the company's flu vaccine. An FDA advisory committee recently voted 9-0 to recommend approval for Moderna's seasonal influenza vaccine for adults 50 and older. While the FDA isn't required to follow the panel's recommendation, it often does, with a final decision expected in early August. Of course, that doesn't mean the stock is without risk.

High expectations for Moderna Much of Moderna's recent rally reflects higher expectations, and several important clinical readouts (including late-stage melanoma data) are still ahead. Any disappointing results could quickly change investor sentiment. But it's still hard to justify passing on the stock, even after its latest run.
You see, Moderna is no longer just a play on COVID-19. It's actually becoming a highly successful, diversified biotechnology company with multiple opportunities to create value over the next several years. After such a strong run, don't expect the shares to move in a straight line. But if you're thinking long-term, Moderna still offers considerable upside.

Micron Technology očekává ve 4. čtvrtletí tržby 50 miliard USD po 41,5 miliardy USD ve 3. čtvrtletí. Firma říká, že trh s paměťmi zůstane napjatý nejméně do roku 2027.
Micron Technology (MU +1.18%) has been a great stock to own for the first half of 2026. It has risen around 240%, easily ranking it among the best-performing stocks in the market. After a run-up like that, before taking a position in the stock, investors must ask themselves what catalyst will sustain the stock's incredible momentum.
Well, Micron's management team delivered that news to shareholders a few weeks ago during its earnings announcement, and it could easily propel Micron to new heights.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
The memory chip crunch isn't going to wane anytime soon Micron makes memory chips, which are vital for nearly all computing devices. It makes both NAND and DRAM memory, which have different use cases. Both are heavily used in data centers, and Micron and its peers in the memory chip industry weren't ready for the surge in demand. As a result of spiking demand and limited supply, prices have risen. Consumers have felt this with rising PC prices and potentially rising phone prices. While consumers may be feeling the squeeze, Micron isn't, as it's a major beneficiary.

Its revenue has soared alongside chip prices. In the second quarter of Micron's fiscal year 2026 (ending Feb. 26), Micron generated $23.9 billion in revenue and gave a bold projection that its Q3 revenue would be around $33.5 billion. For Q3 (ending May 28), Micron blew well beyond that projection, delivering $41.5 billion in revenue. For Q4, Micron dropped the bombshell that it expects a whopping $50 billion in revenue. That's a major spike in just a handful of quarters, and it's the driving force behind Micron's rise.
But here's the thing: Micron's stock still isn't all that expensive.
MU PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
At 14 times forward earnings, Micron still trades at a discount to its peers because the market worries that memory demand will drop in the near future and that all of its gains will go with it. While that's a valid concern, Micron's management informed investors that it expects a "tight" memory market through at least 2027. As for now, the memory chip crunch remains active, and Micron will thrive in it.
Despite its massive gains already, I think investors are OK taking a position in the stock right now, as long as they can monitor the AI situation closely to see whether memory chip supply remains tight. If it is, Micron is an excellent stock to buy and hold. If there are signs of relief, then it's time to get out.

Plugs GenEco™ PEM electrolyzers to power Australia's largest renewable hydrogen project and first Hydrogen Headstart recipient to reach FIDProject supports Orica’s decarbonization efforts by producing renewable hydrogen to displace natural gas in making ammonia, underscoring Plug's expanding footprint in Australia and the Asia-Pacific regionPlug's electrolyzers to power facility expected to produce approximately 4,700 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year
SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced that the 50-megawatt (MW) Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub (HVHH) project in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, has reached final investment decision (FID), moving the project into execution and advancing the delivery of Plug's GenEco Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub is being developed by Orica, a global leader in mining and infrastructure solutions operating across more than 100 countries.
Located adjacent to Orica's existing ammonia manufacturing facility on Kooragang Island, the Hunter Valley project will use renewable electricity to produce renewable hydrogen via electrolysis, progressively replacing natural gas in the company’s production of low-carbon ammonia and ammonium nitrate. These are essential products for Australia's mining, agriculture, and industrial sectors. The HVHH is the largest green hydrogen project in Australia to reach FID, and the first among the recipients of Australia's Hydrogen Headstart program, which awarded AU$432 million in production credits to support the project through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
At full capacity, the facility is expected to produce approximately 4,700 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year, displacing around 7.5 percent of Orica's natural gas consumption at Kooragang Island, the equivalent of removing approximately 26,500 cars from Australian roads annually.
"Reaching FID on the Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub is a significant milestone for Orica, for Australia's hydrogen industry, and for Plug," said José Luis Crespo, CEO of Plug. "Being selected as the electrolyzer OEM for the country's largest renewable hydrogen project to reach FID, and the first Hydrogen Headstart project to move into the execution phase, reflects the confidence our customers place in Plug’s technology and our ability to deliver at scale. Australia is a key part of our global growth story, and this project reinforces our expanding presence across the Asia-Pacific region."
“This Final Investment Decision is a significant milestone in bringing the Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub to life. It demonstrates Orica’s commitment to maintaining the competitiveness of both our manufacturing operations and the Hunter Valley, while strengthening Australia’s sovereign manufacturing capability. Importantly, it supports the reliable, lower-carbon supply of critical inputs to industries such as mining and agriculture," said Germán Morales, Orica Group President - AusPac and Sustainability. "We selected Plug as our electrolyzer OEM because of its proven track record in delivering large-scale PEM systems and their ability to support a project of this complexity and ambition. We look forward to bringing this facility online and supplying low-carbon ammonia to the mining, agriculture, and industrial customers who depend on us."
Plug's selection for the HVHH reflects the company's deep footprint in the Australian hydrogen market and its growing global project pipeline. Plug has significant activations in Australia, having previously supported electrolyzer projects across the country, including an electrolyzer in Townsville that has already started production, and an electrolyzer in Chinchilla, Queensland.
With more than 320 MW of GenEco electrolyzer systems deployed across six continents, Plug continues to leverage its growing installed base to optimize system performance, streamline commissioning timelines, and deliver proven, reliable hydrogen solutions at scale. The HVHH project adds to Plug's growing portfolio of landmark hydrogen projects, including the 100 MW Galp project in Portugal, one of Europe's largest electrolyzer installations, as the company's global pipeline continues to advance from development into execution.

WRAP spustila WrapShield, autonomní platformu pro obranu a veřejnou bezpečnost, která začíná s TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric imaging od Frenel Imaging pro detekci dronů. Součástí je i strategická investice do Frenel a exkluzivní licence pro USA a NATO.
MIAMI, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) (“Wrap” or, the “Company”), a global public safety technology company, today launched WrapShield, an autonomous defense and public safety platform designed to detect threats earlier, orchestrate the response, and act with proportionate, mission-appropriate action; built on the conviction that this decade’s defining threats, from the battlefield to the homeland, will be solved not by better individual devices but by an intelligent operating layer connecting detection to response.
WrapShield represents the next evolution of WRAP – from a company recognized for innovative non-lethal tools to a platform company connecting advanced sensing, artificial intelligence, command-and-control, and response technologies into a unified operating architecture for public safety, homeland security, defense, and critical infrastructure.
To stand up the platform’s detection layer, WRAP announced a strategic investment in Frenel Imaging Ltd. (“Frenel”), an Israeli advanced-sensing company, together with an exclusive U.S. and NATO license to Frenel’s proprietary TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric imaging. Frenel is expected to be the first of many planned investments into WrapShield. WRAP believes it identified the market’s blind spot early and secured access before the U.S. market fully understood this newly validated operational technology. Already in operational use in Israel, Frenel’s technology brings WRAP access to a sensing capability that the Company believes is relevant to U.S. defense and public safety markets.
WrapShield is an autonomous defense and public safety platform intended to serve as an operating layer that connects detection, decision, and response across complex operational environments. WrapShield is designed to enable government agencies to integrate existing and future sensors, AI capabilities, and response technologies into a unified operational ecosystem.
Detect: Advanced multi-modal sensing beginning with Frenel's TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric imaging and AI edge processing, with an architecture designed to incorporate additional sensing technologies over time.Orchestrate: AI-assisted, human-supervised threat detection, classification, and decision support that fuses sensor data, assesses threats, and recommends proportionate courses of action while interoperating with government and third-party command-and-control systems.Respond: A response layer capable of integrating WRAP's own technologies as well as third-party and government response capabilities – kinetic or non-kinetic, lethal or non-lethal, autonomous or human-directed – based on mission requirements, rules of engagement, and customer preferences. The initial application is counter-UAS, with an architecture designed to expand across defense, public safety, critical infrastructure, border security, and other autonomous security missions. The platform’s advantage begins with physics. Conventional thermal cameras generally read one dimension of infrared data – intensity; TPiCore® is designed to read a additional data layers, capturing the polarization of thermal radiation at the pixel level to support reconstruction for each object’s physical characteristics and material composition. The Company believes this polarimetric fingerprint cannot be spoofed, jammed, or turned off, and requires no RF signal to detect. Frenel’s technology implements real-time processing on edge hardware across drone, ground, fixed-site, naval, and handheld configurations.
“We believe the polarimetric fingerprint of an object is as immutable as its molecular composition — it cannot be spoofed, jammed, or turned off. WRAP is the right partner to scale this capability across the U.S. and NATO” said Sagi Zur Arie, Founder & Chief Technology Officer, Frenel
For two decades these were nation-state problems – engineered abroad, fought on foreign battlefields, and countered almost exclusively by the U.S. military. We believe that era is over: the same autonomous, RF-silent systems now cross the U.S. border, loiter over domestic airspace, and probe critical infrastructure at home – and defending against them is no longer the military’s job alone: homeland security, critical infrastructure, and public safety must all be able to detect, orchestrate, and respond. The most dangerous of these systems may carry no radio link, rendering them invisible to the RF-based detection the counter-UAS market is built on. WrapShield is designed to help address that blind spot.
"WrapShield represents our long-term vision for the future of defense and public safety," said Scot Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of WRAP. "We're beginning with one of the most urgent operational challenges facing the world today – countering the rapidly growing threat posed by unmanned aircraft systems. As asymmetric threats become more accessible to lone actors and sophisticated adversaries alike, our customers need platform-level solutions that match the speed, scale, and economics of the threat. WrapShield is our answer: an autonomous platform that is designed to enable earlier detection, AI-assisted decision support, and integration with the response technologies our customers trust. Frenel's advanced thermal polarimetric sensing technology is the first building block in what we believe will become a foundational platform for the next generation of defense and public safety."
A Sensing Capability Applicable Across Emerging Security and Autonomous Markets
Thermal polarimetric sensing is the next level of Visual Actionable Intelligence with applicability extending well beyond traditional public safety environments. Illustrative markets and applications include:
Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Counter-UAS)Autonomous Ground, Maritime, and Aerial VehiclesMaritime Domain AwarenessPersistent Surveillance MissionsAI-Enabled Perception SystemsRobotics and Autonomous PlatformsMilitary and Allied Defense ApplicationsBorder SecurityCritical Infrastructure ProtectionIndustrial MonitoringAdvanced Remote Sensing ArchitecturesAirborne and Persistent Observation Missions Because thermal polarimetric sensing measures characteristics inherent to physical materials rather than solely thermal intensity, management believes it is positioned as the underlying technology that will support future applications ranging from ground-based security operations to airborne remote sensing architectures, persistent observation missions, and intelligent autonomous systems where advanced material discrimination, anomaly detection, and situational awareness are increasingly important.

BONK klesl za posledních 24 hodin o 7,84 % poté, co útočníci z treasury projektu odčerpali téměř 20 milionů USD. BonkDAO uvedl, že pracuje na záchraně prostředků a identifikaci pachatelů.
Bonk (CRYPTO: BONK) plummeted on Monday after hackers drained nearly $20 million worth of the memecoin from the project’s treasury.
‘Malicious Governance Proposal’BonkDAO, the decentralized autonomous organization tied to the Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based cryptocurrency, said that it became the target of a “malicious governance proposal,” resulting in the loss of tokens.
BonkDAO added that it has traced the wallets linked to the hack and is currently coordinating with major exchanges, bridges, and the Solana Foundation to “manage the situation.”
“Law enforcement has been notified. BonkDAO continues to work with relevant parties to recover funds and identify those responsible,” it said.
What Really Happened?According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, the attack began on June 30 when an anonymous wallet submitted a proposal to drain BONK’s treasury.
Then, over the weekend, a separate wallet acquired $8 million worth of BONK through exchange purchases and DeFi borrowing to secure 1% of the coin’s total supply—enough to pass the proposal.
The attacker drained $20 million into an exploiter wallet. Of this amount, they transferred $188,000 to a cryptocurrency exchange, likely to cash out, while sending the remaining $19 million to a multisig wallet, where the funds remain.
BONK Loses Further Ground The massive hack added to the mounting challenges plaguing the dog-themed memecoin, which has already plunged 40% year-to-date and 80% over the last year.
It remains the third-largest meme coin in the Solana ecosystem, with a market capitalization exceeding $390 million. At its peak, it was valued at over $4 billion.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BONK was exchanging hands at $0.000004434, down 7.84% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The Indian Rupee has remained under pressure this year, with the USD/INR exchange rate trading close to 95.30 despite recent signs of stabilisation.
Citi believes decisive action by the Reserve Bank of India should provide near-term support for the Rupee, although it expects the currency to weaken again over the medium term.
The bank has sharply revised its balance of payments outlook, forecasting a surplus instead of a deficit after the RBI introduced measures to attract foreign capital, including concessional swap facilities and incentives for overseas investment.
According to Citi, these policies demonstrate the central bank's willingness to preserve financial stability and reduce depreciation pressure on the Rupee.
The bank expects these inflows to help push USD/INR towards **93.0** in the near term as concerns over India's external position ease.
However, Citi believes this improvement will prove temporary. It forecasts **USD/INR rising back towards 95.0 over the following six to 12 months**, as the boost from capital inflows fades.
Citi expects the RBI's policy measures to provide short-term relief for the Rupee, while cautioning that medium-term performance will depend on the durability of foreign inflows and the broader US Dollar outlook.
Hyperliquid’s suite of spot ETFs just pulled in $112 million in a single week, setting a new record for the decentralized perpetual futures platform. The bulk of that capital flowed into Grayscale’s HYPG, a staking ETF that launched on June 3, 2026, and has already accumulated roughly $128.6 million in assets under management.
The numbers behind the HYPE Three ETFs currently offer exposure to Hyperliquid’s native HYPE token: 21Shares’ THYP, Bitwise’s BHYP, and Grayscale’s HYPG. All three launched between mid-May and early June 2026, and the early data is striking.
Combined cumulative net inflows topped $150 million within just the first month of trading. By mid-June, the trio had amassed roughly $209 million in total assets, representing about 1.4% of HYPE’s market cap.

Trading volume across the three products surged to nearly $900 million. THYP and BHYP hit peak daily inflows of approximately $25.5 million around May 20-21, contributing to weekly records that exceeded $70 million before HYPG even entered the picture.
Not a single week of net outflows has been recorded across any of the three funds in early data. HYPE experienced an eight-day inflow streak in late May that coincided with the token’s price surging past the $62 to $73 range, with the token hitting multiple all-time highs and peaking somewhere between $60 and $75.
Why institutions are paying attention Grayscale’s HYPG charges a 0.29% management fee and offers staking rewards north of 2% annually, giving investors exposure to HYPE’s price action while earning yield through a regulated wrapper.
Hyperliquid itself runs on a custom Layer-1 blockchain with sub-second transaction finality. The platform built its reputation as the dominant venue for decentralized perpetual futures trading, but it’s been expanding into stocks and commodities.
During the same period that HYPE ETFs were setting records, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows, with investors appearing to rebalance toward HYPE products for regulated exposure.
What this means for investors The $209 million in combined ETF assets representing only 1.4% of HYPE’s market cap suggests substantial room for growth if institutional adoption deepens, compared to Bitcoin ETFs where ETF holdings represent a significantly larger share of total supply.
Risks remain real. Hyperliquid’s platform concentration in derivatives trading means a single exploit or regulatory action could dent confidence quickly. The expansion into stocks and commodities adds another variable: if Hyperliquid successfully bridges traditional and crypto markets on a single infrastructure layer, the HYPE token’s value proposition grows considerably.

Beyond trading features, Nansen has expanded its data coverage of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, including on-chain activity monitoring for HyperFND and the Hyperliquid Data API. Users can track real-time active HyperEVM addresses, contract deployments, and ecosystem growth, while development teams can access real-time Smart Money perpetual positions, unrealized profit and loss (PnL), account health, full transaction history, and performance data via the API—supporting quantitative analysis, strategy development, and application building.

Morningstar: Samsung Electronics' revenue expectations may disappoint investors.
Morningstar analyst Jing Jie Yu said investors may feel somewhat disappointed with Samsung Electronics' revenue outlook. He noted that the company’s projected operating profit is in line with market expectations, but its revenue forecast of 171 trillion won is slightly below the consensus. This underperformance is likely due to DRAM price increases falling short of expectations, which may have spooked investors who were increasingly betting on a structural rally in memory chip prices. As investors grew more cautious, Samsung Electronics’ stock closed down 6.9%, trimming its year-to-date gain to just under 150%.

Strive CEO Matt Cole said in an interview that even if Bitcoin falls to 1 cent and remains at that level for 18 months, Strive will face no issues, does not need to take any action, and will not have to sell a single BTC. No price level will trigger a forced liquidation for Strive.
Binance Earn spouští BTC Yield, produkt v BTC, který má dlouhodobým držitelům Bitcoinů přinášet týdenní výnos prostřednictvím covered call strategie. K příležitosti spuštění běží i kampaň s prize poolem 100 000 USDC v Discount Buy pozicích.
This is a general announcement. Products and services referred to here may not be available in your region. Terms and conditions apply. Fellow Binancians, Binance Earn is excited to launch BTC Yield, a BTC-denominated yield strategy designed for long-term BTC holders. BTC Yield gives a simple way to seek weekly BTC income without actively trading options. BTC Yield is powered by options strategies – specifically, a covered call approach which aims to generate option premium by selling BTC call options. Simply subscribe with BTC in exchange for BTCY, maintain BTC-denominated exposure through BTCY, and become eligible for potential weekly BTC distributions. With competitive APY, large quotas, and direct access through Binance Earn, BTC Yield offers an intuitive way to capture returns from an institutional-grade strategy. Product Highlights: Weekly Distributions: The product seeks to automatically distribute BTC to your Spot Account every week.BTC-related exposure: Your BTCY holdings are BTC-denominated, maintaining BTC-denominated exposure.Professionally Managed Strategy: Executed by Binance team using a covered call strategy that continuously harvests option premiums as yield.Flexible Redemption: Supports both Fast Redemption and Scheduled Redemption (bi-weekly settlement) to meet different liquidity needs.Open-Ended Structure: No fixed maturity date. Yield Mechanism: Users subscribe with BTC in exchange for BTCY; principal and yield are settled in BTC upon redemption. The strategy systematically sells BTC call options and distributes the collected premiums as yield to holders. Realized option premiums each week may be distributed to BTC Yield holders in two ways: BTC Distribution: A portion of yield is automatically distributed weekly to the holder's Spot Account in BTC, proportional to their BTCY holdings. Strategy Value Appreciation: A portion of yield remains in BTC-denominated Yield and is reflected in the daily-updated value, so the BTC amount represented by each BTCY value increases over time. Risk Warning: BTC Yield is not principal-protected. The value of BTCY may fluctuate with market and strategy performance, and loss of your BTC principal is possible. BTC distributions are not guaranteed. How to Get Started: AppStep 1: Tap [More] on the App homepage.Step 2: Go to [Earn] > [BTC Yield].Step 3: Tap [Subscribe] and enter the amount of BTC to commit.Step 4: Read and agree to the terms and tap [Confirm].WebsiteStep 1: Navigate to the [Earn] section, select [Advanced Earn] and click [BTC Yield].Step 2: Click [Subscribe] and enter the amount of BTC to commit.Step 3: Read and agree to the terms and click [Confirm]. Important Risk Warning: BTC Yield is a high-risk product and is not principal protected. Users are exchanging their BTC for BTCY. The value of BTCY may rise or fall as denominated in BTC, and users may receive back less BTC than they originally allocated, including in some cases a significant loss of value or loss of the full amount allocated. Any weekly BTC distribution is not guaranteed and may be zero. BTC Yield uses a covered call strategy, which may limit participation in upward BTC price movements. As a result, BTC Yield may underperform a direct holding of BTC, particularly in strongly rising markets. The product may also be affected by market volatility, options pricing, execution factors, fees, costs and Binance’s valuation methodology. Redemptions of BTC Yield are subject to processing rules, valuation timing, liquidity, operational availability and possible delays. The BTC amount returned on exit is determined by the applicable valuation at the relevant processing time, not the value displayed when the request is submitted. Fast Exit or Scheduled Exit may be unavailable, delayed or subject to limits and fees. BTC Yield is an on-platform book-entry product. It is not an on-chain token, cannot be withdrawn off-platform and cannot be transferred to another user. Participation in BTC Yield also exposes users to Binance credit risk. In the event of Binance’s insolvency, operational failure, or if BTC Yield is suspended or discontinued, users may be unable to exit promptly or recover some or all of their allocated BTC. Users should read the BTCY Product Terms, FAQ, and General Risk Warning. BTC Yield Launch Promotion: Subscribe to BTC Yield with BTC and Share a 100,000 USDC Valued Prize Pool To celebrate the launch of BTC Yield, Binance Earn is running a limited-time exclusive campaign. Eligible users who hold BTCY during the Promotion Period will share a 100,000 USDC valued prize pool, to be allocated to a Discount Buy position. To clarify, rewards are in the form of, and will be automatically distributed, as a Discount Buy position to eligible users’ Earn Accounts. Promotion Period: 2026-07-07 08:00 (UTC) to 2026-07-21 23:59 (UTC) Reward Rules: During the Promotion Period, the system will automatically snapshot eligible users’ BTCY holding balance daily at 16:00 (UTC). After the Promotion Period ends, users will receive airdrop rewards in Discount Buy positions based on their daily average BTCY holding and the rewards structure and caps below. Reward Structure: Eligible Users’ BTCY Daily Average Holding of During the Promotion PeriodShared Prize Pool Amount (Equally Shared, Subject to a Per-User Cap)Per-User Cap0.5 BTCY ≤ Daily average holding < 1 BTCY15,000 USDC50 USDC1 BTCY ≤ Daily average holding < 10 BTCY40,000 USDC300 USDC10 BTCY ≤ Daily average holding < 30 BTCY20,000 USDC1,000 USDCDaily average holding ≥ 30 BTCY25,000 USDC2,500 USDC Reward Calculation: The prize pool for each tier will be equally shared, subject to the per-user cap, among all eligible users of that tier after the campaign ends. Every eligible user within the same tier will receive the same reward amount;Per-User Reward = Tier Prize Pool / Total Number of Eligible Users in that Tier, rounded down to the nearest whole unit;Per-User Cap: The reward for each eligible user in each tier is capped at the maximum reward amount specified in the table above.If the calculated per-user share exceeds the cap, each user will receive only the cap amount, and any remaining pool will not be further distributed.The more eligible users, the smaller each user's share; the fewer eligible users, the larger each user's share (up to the per-user cap).The final list of eligible users and per-user reward amount will be subject to platform verification, including a risk review of all qualifying accounts. Example 1 (below cap): If a tier's shared prize pool amount is 40,000 USDC, the per-user cap is 300 USDC, and 200 users are qualified, each user will receive 40,000 / 200 = 200 USDC (below the per-user cap, each user will receive the full amount).Example 2 (cap triggered): If a tier's prize pool is 25,000 USDC, the per-user cap is 2,500 USDC, and only 8 users are qualified, the calculated share would be 25,000 / 8 = 3,125 USDC, which exceeds the cap. Each user will therefore receive 2,500 USDC only (cap applied). Notes: Minimum Threshold: Users must maintain a daily average BTCY holding greater than or equal to (≥) 0.5 BTCY.Flexible Holding: Subscribe or redeem at any time during the Promotion Period; rewards are calculated based on the daily average of the snapshots.Account Aggregation: Holdings of the master account and its sub-accounts will be aggregated for calculation and are subject to a single reward cap; sub-accounts are not eligible for a separate allocation. Reward Distribution: Rewards will be automatically distributed as a Discount Buy position to eligible users’ Earn Accounts within 14 days (2026-08-04) after the Promotion Period ends.Disclaimer: Discount Buy is a high risk product and your position may go up or down resulting in you not getting back the amount invested. You may be required to trade at a less favourable rate on the Settlement Date.

Digital Chamber podala amicus brief a vyzvala k zamítnutí žaloby v New Yorku týkající se 39 069 neaktivních bitcoinových adres. Tvrdí, že jejich označení za opuštěný majetek by oslabilo digitální vlastnická práva.
Blockchain trade association the Digital Chamber filed an amicus brief in the New York lost property case seeking ownership of thousands of dormant Bitcoin addresses.
The Monday filing is the second amicus brief in the case. It opposes the claims of ownership, arguing that treating dormant wallets as abandoned property would create a “pervasive cloud on title across self-custody wallets.”
Digital Chamber argues that a ruling based on the plaintiffs’ theory would undermine the “foundational principles of digital property ownership, with negative ripple effects reaching the traditional finance industry.”
The amicus brief was filed in a lawsuit brought by "Noah Doe" and two Wyoming-based companies in late May, seeking ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses, in what could become a test of how inactive crypto may be treated under the state’s lost-property law.
The listed addresses hold an estimated 3.7 million Bitcoin (BTC) worth about $234 billion and include some of the wallet addresses associated with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, according to Sani, founder of analytics platform Timechain Index.

The Digital Chamber describes itself as the oldest and largest digital asset trade association representing over 250 members, including crypto exchanges, banks, investment firms and other industry participants.
Dormant Bitcoin wallets awaken after lawsuitSome of the long-dormant Bitcoin wallets named in the lawsuit have been waking up.
At least 31 of the listed addresses moved 17,527 Bitcoin in June, up from five addresses that transferred 4,834 BTC in February, according to Galaxy Digital head of research Alex Thorn.

Bitcoin address "1KV47" transferred 30 BTC, worth about $1.88 million, on Saturday, marking the wallet’s first movement in almost 15 years, since August 2011.
Regardless of the lawsuit's outcome, it is unclear how the plaintiffs could gain control of the assets without holding the private keys to the wallets.
On Thursday, a pseudonymous defendant filed a notice of appearance and motion to dismiss, claiming they control one of the dormant wallets named in the lawsuit.

Bitcoin má podle CryptoQuant nejhorší poměr realizovaného P/L za 43 měsíců, na úrovni -0,35. Cena se po propadu na zhruba 57 950 USD odrazila zpět do pásma 61 000 až 63 000 USD.
From its all-time high of $126,198 in October 2025, Bitcoin has fallen over 51% to its current price of slightly above $62,000.
Recent releases from three on-chain datasets that came out in quick succession paint a picture that goes beyond a simple price chart: this correction seems to be structurally distinct from the ones that came before it.
The Efficiency Problem Is Real, And It's Not Going Away
On July 1, Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, offered a comprehensive examination of capital efficiency over Bitcoin's cycles.
This research offers a different viewpoint on the idea that "Bitcoin still has 10x left" regarding its potential for growth.
The astounding return of 55,436% was the product of $2.7 billion in net inflows in 2011. A return of around 2,000% was achieved on an investment of $365 billion between 2018 and 2021.
A meager 689% gain has been produced by $697 billion in realised-cap growth in the current cycle.
An injection of about $5 million in fresh cash was necessary in 2011 to accomplish a doubling of the price. Currently, $101 billion is the anticipated sum needed.
It's time to reevaluate Bitcoin's essence, and that's not merely a minor point.
Institutional investors are now needed to make a dent in a market where millions used to be enough to make a dent.
Ju's analysis emphasizes how dire the situation is: Bitcoin needs to gain more than $1 trillion in fresh market capitalization to experience another parabolic leap.
This calls for seeing it as an essential macro allocation instead of just an ETF transaction aimed at ordinary investors.
The market value of gold is over $27 trillion.
About $1.3 trillion is the market capitalization of Bitcoin.
While the gap suggests a bright future, the difficulties in streamlining processes are to blame for the slower pace of development and higher capital needs compared to the plans for 2017 or 2021.
Even if the monetary quantities involved are historically unprecedented, the technical conclusion is that future rallies will look less steep in percentage terms when compared to the last one.
Some important mathematical discoveries were recently brought to light by CryptoQuant, which makes it difficult for anybody to predict if Bitcoin will maintain its 2017 percentage increases.
The Float Is Drying Up - And That Cuts Both Ways
There is a change on the supply side that is arguably more closely related to the present price fluctuations than the efficiency narrative.
A record high of 79% of the supply was held by long-term investors, according to a study published June 15 by K33 Research.
Furthermore, as of June 6, just 218,421 BTC that had been dormant for more than two years were activated, which is the lowest amount seen since the same date in 2012, when just 70,600 BTC had migrated.
During what K33 calls a distribution phase in June 2024, 1.18 million BTC were released from cold storage.
Contrarily, according to on-chain tracker Alphractal, the percentage of long-term holders has risen to 78% from 74% in the last cycle.
Also, in the past few months, some 830,000 BTC have been moved out of temporary wallets.
K33's Vetle Lunde argues that record holder concentration, low reactivation, and dropping trading volume are not signs of fresh selling forces but rather a tendency that usually emerges in the later stages of Bitcoin downturn markets.
Logic dictates that there will be fewer coins available for trade when over 80% of them are dormant.
So, because the order book isn't as strong, prices are more affected by any spike in demand, be it from institutions, individual investors, or ETFs.
The way one sees liquidity dynamics is rather bullish, but it doesn't show whether demand will come through or not.
Investments from ETFs, stablecoin growth, and institutional interest have not yet reached levels that would suggest a long-term recovery, and this is the key point that businesses like Bitfinex, Wintermute, and Glassnode have been stressing.
Although supply-side tightening is critical, it is not sufficient to ensure a market bottom on its own.
CoinDesk data from late June showed that long-term investors were holding almost 5.58 million BTC at a loss, which was the second-highest total ever recorded, second only to March 2020.
Despite this group's total percentage of supply continuing to expand, this occurs. In the same tales, one will find both confidence and hardship.
The P&L Signal: Fourth Time This Metric Has Flashed Since 2022
Among the data points published by CryptoQuant on July 3, the most recent and important aspect stands out.
The realized profit-and-loss ratio of Bitcoin has dropped to -0.35, the lowest level in 43 months.
This slump is reminiscent of December 2022, just after the FTX collapse, when BTC was worth less than $16,000.
Significant market rallies followed readings below -0.35 in 2015 and 2019, according to CryptoQuant's historical data.
This indicator shows how much of the total supply is now making money as opposed to losing money, as calculated on a realized basis.
Capitulation has already taken place, not that it is imminent; according to readings, this is negative.
Crucial is the context.
With a low of around $57,950 achieved on July 1, BTC hit its lowest price in 652 days. In the duration after, it saw a 7% bounce and is now trading between $61,000 and $63,000.
Adam Livingston of Swan Bitcoin points out that the current price of Bitcoin is just 16% higher than its realized value.
Returns of 41% for six months and 81% for twelve months have been achieved in the past thanks to this spread.
Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, brought up the unwinding of Strategy's Stretch (STRC) preferred shares in a recent thread.
There were worries regarding the long-term viability of dividends connected to Michael Saylor's treasury concept when this stock dropped below its $100 par value to about $75 in June.
Instead of portending imminent stress, Hougan posited that this occurrence could have contributed to the system's elimination of unnecessary risk.
The market is currently assessing a clearly defined barrier.
Despite four separate tests this year, $60,000 support has remained strong, and centralized exchange inflows have remained around 50,000 BTC per day, suggesting a tendency of exhaustion rather than aggressive selling, whenever selling pressure has escalated.
If one looks at the daily and weekly charts, one could see a potential "W" reversal forming.
This would coincide with the lower Bollinger Band and show tiny fractal patterns inside the bigger framework, according to experienced technician John Bollinger.
If the price falls below $60,000, it will expose the realized-price region around $53,000, which proponents of the capitulation bottom argument must defend if it is to remain valid.
The Macro Overlay
All of these deals take place within a larger macro framework.
BlackRock's IBIT has led the way in redemptions, with spot Bitcoin ETFs marking their worst month since their launch in June, seeing net outflows of over $4.5 billion.
K33 reports that sales have slowed but have not yet translated into cash inflows.
The markets are still adjusting to the idea of a Federal Open Market Committee headed by Kevin Warsh, and the change in leadership at the Federal Reserve creates substantial uncertainty.
Interest rate policy has always been a major short-term driver for Bitcoin.
There has been a little reduction in the probability of rate rises following a June employment report that was disappointing, adding just 57,000 jobs instead of the expected 100,000+.
With the launch of meinKrypto by DZ Bank for Bitcoin trading and custody under MiCA and the preparations underway for a similar rollout by DekaBank across about 340 German savings banks, institutional plumbing is slowly but surely evolving at the periphery.
But this is more of a demand driver than a flow catalyst.
A future upward rise, should it materialize, will require far more institutional finance than earlier cycles to accomplish comparable percentage increases, according to the synthesis: declining capital efficiency.
The amount of accessible float to absorb that capital is more constrained than ever before due to record-long-term holder concentration.
The market has probably taken a lot of surrender into consideration, as the P&L reading is at a 43-month low.
When taken independently, each data point provides unique insights.
Taken as a whole, they show how the market is structured to facilitate bottom-forming, but a key component, institutional demand on a broad scale, is still up in the air.
XRP těží z přílivu do tokenizovaných RWA na XRPL, spot ETF a nových peněženek. Tokenizovaná aktiva na XRPL vzrostla z téměř 150 milionů USD na více než 4 miliardy USD. Nové peněženky vzrostly z 18,1 tisíce na 26 tisíc.
XRP is witnessing massive demand from across multiple fronts at once, recording capital inflows from real-world asset (RWA) tokenization on the XRPL, ETF inflows, and new wallets. Evernorth, a Ripple-backed digital asset treasury firm, revealed the development amid significant recovery in XRP price.
Huge RWA Tokenization Growth on XRPL: Evernorth Holdings Tokenized RWAs on the XRPL network have grown significantly from almost $150 million a year ago to more than $4 billion, Evernoth Holdings revealed on July 7. This marks a notable growth despite the bear market.
XRP treasury Evernorth highlighted that more than 500 products now live on XRPL. Notably, JMWH and Ondo Short-Term Government Bond Fund are leading tokenized assets representing nearly $2.5 billion in value.
As CoinGape earlier reported, JPMorgan, Ripple, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance completed first cross-border tokenized treasury settlement on XRPL. The transaction was settled in about 4 seconds.
in about four seconds,” Evernoth noted. It added that XRP is recording massive capital inflows from RWA tokenization.

Spot XRP ETF inflows reached an 8th week streak, totaling $1.49 billion in cumulative net inflows. Notably, the spot ETFs recorded $17.19 million in total inflows last week. However, it is 4x smaller than the tokenized RWA market.
Evernorth has noted that these inflows signal a shift toward massive institutional participation. It bridges tradFi with the crypto market, as total net assets under management reach $1.05 billion.
XRP ETF Inflows. Source: SoSoValue Rise in XRP Wallets XRP price recovered more than 14% recently before paring gains. The price is currently trading at $1.13, with a 24-hour low and high of $1.11 and $1.16, respectively. Furthermore, trading volume has increased by almost 50% over the last 24 hours.
Evernorth claimed the recent recovery came amid a massive rise in new wallets last week. New wallets have increased from 18.1K to 26K within a few weeks. This marks the highest weekly count since March.

At the time of writing, the total XRP futures open interest jumped 1% to $2.38 billion in the last 4 hours. Futures OI on CME jumped 3.21% and almost 0.75% on Binance.
XRP se drží kolem 1,13 USD, ale CLARITY Act ztratil blízký katalyzátor po zpoždění v Senátu. Trh sleduje support na 1,10 USD; jeho ztráta by oslabila současný odraz.
XRP traded near $1.13 on July 7, down 1.69% in the past 24 hours, according to crypto.news market data.
Summary
XRP’s rebound needs a clear break above $1.14 to confirm stronger short-term momentum for bulls. ETF inflows remain positive, but CLARITY delays have removed a near-term policy catalyst for XRP. Spot CVD has improved across exchanges while Binance perpetual traders keep selling into rebounds. The token moved between $1.11 and $1.16 during the session, while trading volume stood at about $1.73 billion.
The rebound from the late-June low near $1.00 remains intact, but buyers have not yet turned it into a stronger breakout. the token pushed back toward the $1.14 to $1.18 zone, but it failed to hold the upper part of that range.
The price now sits near a short-term decision area. A close above $1.14 would show that buyers are gaining control. A clean move above $1.18 to $1.20 would give bulls a stronger signal and place the next resistance levels back in focus.
The downside level is also clear. If XRP loses $1.10, the current rebound would weaken. A move below that area could expose $1.06, which some traders now see as the next retest zone.
XRP ETF inflows help, but policy catalyst slips The recovery has come while XRP-linked investment products continue to attract demand. The latest background data showed spot XRP ETFs recorded a ninth straight week of net inflows, adding $17.19 million despite broader policy uncertainty.
Those inflows have helped support the market, but they have not been enough to break the larger downtrend. As previously reported, XRP ETFs gave investors regulated access, but they did not solve the wider legal question around XRP’s status under U.S. law.
The CLARITY Act remains the main policy catalyst for many traders. The bill missed its July 4 target and now faces an Aug. 7 deadline before the Senate’s summer break.
That delay removed a near-term trigger for digital assets. The bill has passed the House, cleared the Senate Banking Committee, and sits on the Senate calendar, but staff still need to merge Banking and Agriculture versions before a full Senate vote.
Moreover, Standard Chartered has said XRP ETFs could attract $4 billion to $8 billion in first-year inflows if CLARITY passes. That forecast depends on legal clarity unlocking larger institutional demand.
Technical setup stays mixed The XRP/USDT daily chart shows price recovering from the late-June low, but the broader trend remains weak after the June breakdown. The token is trading above the middle Bollinger Band near $1.10, which keeps the short-term rebound alive.
The upper Bollinger Band sits near $1.18. That matches the area traders are watching for a stronger breakout. Until the token closes above that zone, the move remains a rebound inside a weak structure rather than a confirmed trend shift.
XRP price chart, source: crypto.news The lower Bollinger Band sits near $1.01. That level remains important if selling pressure returns. A break below $1.10 would increase the risk of a move back toward that area.
Momentum also shows a mixed picture. The Stochastic RSI is elevated, with readings near 88.63 and 95.08. That shows strong short-term momentum, but it also places XRP close to overbought territory. Since the faster line has moved below the slower line, the rebound may be losing some force.
EGRAG Crypto said XRP must defend $1.10 after moving below the 21 EMA on the four-hour chart. He said, “Hold $1.10 = structure still alive,” while a loss of $1.06 would increase caution.
#XRP – The Retest That Matters 👀 – Short-Term ( 4H TF): #XRP is now at the real short-term test.

— EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) July 6, 2026 Dark Defender took a more bullish weekly view and said XRP is “launching the Wave 5 without the Clarity Act.” Other analysts also pointed to higher long-term targets, but those views still depend on price clearing the current resistance zone first.
Spot demand rises while perps stay defensive On-chain and derivatives data show a split market. CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha said XRP’s estimated spot CVD across centralized exchanges rose from about minus $42 million on May 12 to plus $406 million by July 7.
That change points to stronger spot buying across exchanges. It suggests market buyers have absorbed more available XRP supply over the past two months.
The derivatives market shows the opposite trend. Binance perpetual CVD fell from about minus $48 million to minus $783 million over the same period. That shows sustained sell-side pressure from perpetual traders.
Open interest also fell from about $255 million on May 22 to $203 million on July 7. That drop suggests leveraged traders have reduced exposure while spot buyers have become more active.
Binance spot data has improved, but it has not turned positive. Estimated spot CVD on Binance rose from about minus $212 million on June 25 to minus $173 million on July 7, showing that selling pressure has eased but not fully reversed.

Vitalik Buterin představil aktualizovanou roadmapu „Lean Ethereum“, kterou výzkumníci podporují. Plán počítá s kvantovou odolností, větším soukromím a tří až čtyřletou přestavbou protokolu.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has a revised technical roadmap that researchers broadly support. The problem: they're also impatient.
Buterin's updated "strawmap," published July 5 following Ethereum's Berlin research summit, describes a three-to-four-year protocol overhaul that would touch nearly every major component of the network — consensus layer, execution environment, state management, and cryptography. The framework, dubbed "Lean Ethereum," is the most comprehensive restructuring proposal since the 2022 Merge that moved the network from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake.
Two weeks ago, Ethereum researchers met in Berlin to continue charting the protocol's long-term trajectory, following along discussions with client teams in Svalbard in April.
The updated strawmap is at https://t.co/HZEerH1xxI, and I attached a picture of it to this post.

— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) July 4, 2026 The headline priorities in the updated roadmap are quantum resistance and privacy, both elevated to immediate concerns rather than long-horizon objectives. Quantum resistance involves replacing the elliptic curve cryptography underlying Ethereum's signature scheme with quantum-safe alternatives — work the industry treats as increasingly urgent given advances in quantum computing research. Privacy is now designated a "first-class goal," meaning core protocol components will be designed to enable private, trustless transactions by default, rather than layering privacy solutions on top.
The technical architecture also shifts how Ethereum verifies itself. Rather than every node re-executing every transaction, the network plans to adopt recursive STARKs — a cryptographic proof system that allows a single node to verify that work was done correctly by checking a compact proof, rather than repeating it. The goal is a lighter, faster network that is cheaper to operate and harder to censor.
Ethereum's current "flexible state" — the running record of every account balance, smart contract, and token ledger — would be capped in its current form while new, more scalable state types are introduced. The long-term EVM replacement, RISC-V, remains under consideration as the preferred instruction set architecture for a post-EVM Ethereum.
The market has responded positively. ETH traded at $1,780.99 as of Tuesday, up 11.92% over seven days and 0.04% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. Bitcoin was at $63,411, up 5.78% over the week.
The execution timeline is where consensus fractures. Ethereum core developers broadly endorse the roadmap's direction but are pressing for faster delivery. The Strawmap remains a multi-year programme with no guaranteed hard dates — a structural reality that sits uncomfortably against a competitive landscape where Solana has gained significant developer and institutional ground on throughput and latency.
The fork choice between a technically superior but slower roadmap and a market that rewards speed is one Ethereum's research community has not yet resolved.
Hyperliquid ($HYPE) předstihl Dogecoin ($DOGE) a posunul se na 9. místo v žebříčku tržní kapitalizace kryptoměn. Růst podpořily zpětné odkupy za více než 1,1 miliardy USD a spálení více než 41 milionů tokenů.
Hyperliquid (@HyperliquidX) $HYPE has overtaken Dogecoin (@dogecoin) $DOGE to claim ninth place in the global cryptocurrency market cap rankings, marking one of the more notable ranking shifts of the current cycle.
What Is Driving the Move The rally has been underpinned by a combination of rising platform usage, competitive fees, and a mechanical buyback programme embedded directly in the protocol. Around 99% of fees from Hyperliquid's perpetuals and spot order book are routed to the Assistance Fund, which continuously purchases and burns HYPE tokens, removing them permanently from circulating supply. The result is a structural link between trading volume and token demand: the more the exchange trades, the more tokens get bought and destroyed.
That volume has been substantial. Hyperliquid has now crossed $1.1 billion in cumulative buybacks, with the protocol recording a single buyback of $283 million, described as the largest in the industry since the start of 2026. The platform has burned over 41 million tokens to date, reducing circulating supply by roughly 4.2%.
Geopolitical tension also played a role. When Middle East volatility spiked, Hyperliquid's around-the-clock trading gave it an edge over venues that observe fixed daily halt periods. TD Securities noted that the platform's oil perpetual futures volume jumped from $25 million to over $550 million across three weekends of the US-Israel-Iran conflict, as traders sought continuous price discovery when traditional markets were closed.
Where HYPE Stands Now HYPE set an all-time high of $76.87 on June 16, 2026. At the time of writing, the token sits approximately 9% below that level, having gained 13.3% over the prior seven days, according to CoinGecko data. The token has risen roughly 205% since January 2026.
Institutional interest has added further support. The Bitwise spot HYPE ETF began trading in May 2026 and spot HYPE ETF products collectively recorded $111 million in inflows as of June 30, a contrast to outflows seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum funds over the same period.
The broader narrative around the ranking change reflects a shift in what the market is rewarding. DOGE, which held a top-ten position for much of the past two years, has lacked comparable fundamental catalysts. Analysts have noted that the 2026 cycle has broadly favoured tokens with clear revenue streams over legacy meme coins.
