Founded in 2012, Coinbase is the leading cryptocurrency exchange platform in the United States. The company intends to be the safe and regulation-compliant point of entry for retail investors and institutions into the cryptocurrency economy. Users can establish an account directly with the firm, instead of using an intermediary, and many choose to allow Coinbase to act as a custodian for their cryptocurrency, giving the company breadth beyond that of a traditional financial exchange. While the company still generates the majority of its revenue from transaction fees charged to its retail customers, Coinbase uses internal investment and acquisitions to expand into adjacent businesses, such as prime brokerage and data analytics.

Franklin Templeton alerta: Europa puede quedar rezagada en regulación cripto frente a EE.UU. y Asia

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) continues to consolidate on Thursday. This comes after the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46248538/bitcoin-ethereum-solana-treasury-companies-need-to-manage-market-volatility-franklin-templeton-report-warns">gained about 35% in just two weeks</a>.
A flag pattern formed on the chart and could be a bullish dynamic. It is why Coinbase is the Stock of the Day.
Some people think technical analysis is like astrology or reading tea leaves. And for many analysts, it is. They look for patterns on charts without understanding the price action and trading dynamics that make them form.
If understood and applied correctly, technical analysis is the study of the supply and demand and psychology in a market.
For example, when the leadership of the market is changing, from bulls to bears or bears to bulls, a reversal pattern may appear on a chart. This can be a rounded pattern, a reversal day, a V pattern, or a double or triple top or bottom.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="587" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/03144915/CoinbasGlobal.one_-1024x587.png" alt="" class="wp-image-972565" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/03144915/CoinbasGlobal.one_-1024x587.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/03144915/CoinbasGlobal.one_-300x172.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/03144915/CoinbasGlobal.one_-768x440.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/03144915/CoinbasGlobal.one_.png 1426w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

If the leadership changes slowly over an extended period of time the rounded pattern may form. If the change takes place in one day, a reversal day pattern may form. If a stock tests and fails at resistance or support before reversing, it could be a double or triple top or bottom.
A flag pattern is different. It is a continuation pattern. It indicates a break in a trend that will soon get back into gear.
As you can see on the chart, Coinbase made a large and rapid move higher. This resulted in large amounts of volume trading.
Some of the traders who were doing the buying decided that the stock had gotten ahead of itself. They left the market in hopes that the price would go back down so they could finish their buying at lower prices.
As a result of this, the stock traded sideways and the volume diminished. The key to the flag pattern is the lower volume. It is a characteristic of a break in a trend.
There is a good chance Coinbase breaks out of the upside of this pattern and starts to move higher again.

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

I just wrapped up a deep dive into what I'm calling the "real report card" for 2025 so far…and the results might surprise you.
Some tech names are ripping, while others are getting absolutely crushed. I'm talking over 100% rebounds on stocks like Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and nearly 50% haircuts on household names like Lululemon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>).
So today, I want to break down exactly what's leading and what&#8217;s lagging as we enter the second half of the year, how I'm trading both sides of the tape using simple, strategic spreads and why I think the biggest opportunities right now lie in playing both ends of the market.

Let&#8217;s start with what&#8217;s working.
I ran my latest scans across the top 425 most liquid optionable stocks (out of tens of thousands) to see who is sitting at their year-to-date highs and who is sitting at the lows.
The winners? They're almost all in tech and exchanges.
Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Paramount (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) and Coinbase are all trading at or near their 25-week highs, and they're telling a clear story about where strength is showing up in this market.
We've got semiconductors, legacy tech, disruptive fintech, crypto infrastructure and streaming media all making the list.
That's not random.
MU and CSCO represent two ends of the tech spectrum—one a chipmaker riding the AI and memory boom, the other a networking heavyweight benefiting from increased infrastructure spend. Both are showing signs of quiet accumulation.
HOOD and COIN are riding the same tailwind: a resurgence in retail interest and the rebound in crypto. COIN, in particular, has been a standout. It's already doubled since bottoming out in early April, making it one of the biggest comeback stories in the market right now. That kind of V-shaped move tells me institutional money is quietly stepping back in.
And then there's Paramount. With ongoing rumors and a push toward streaming consolidation, PARA has become a speculative favorite in certain corners of the market.
Now, when you zoom out and look at this group as a whole, there's a clear theme: Capital is flowing back into high-leverage, high-beta names—but it's doing so selectively. This isn't a broad-based rally. It's precise. And it's rotating into names with clear catalysts, strong relative strength and just enough volatility to make the options worth trading.
That's exactly the type of setup I look for.
It's the kind of strength that doesn't happen by accident, the kind that has real momentum behind the crypto comeback. And COIN is acting as a high-beta proxy for Bitcoin itself.
So, let's talk strategy.
When I pulled this data, COIN was trading around $309. The August 310 calls were going for about $31, roughly 10% of the stock price. That&#8217;s a bit rich for a single-leg call.
So, how do we lower cost and risk?
By structuring a call spread. For example, buying the 310 and selling the 320 call could be done for around $5. That cuts your risk nearly in half and sets up a clean 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio if COIN climbs another 10 points. And if you prefer something more aggressive? Using the 330 and 340 calls in this spread instead could cost you as little as $3 and up to $7 in potential upside (although you&#8217;d need a bigger move to get there).
That's how we use the market's pricing inefficiencies to our advantage. But what about the losers?
Tilray (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>), JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), Lululemon and Luminar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAZR#NASDAQ">LAZR</a>) are sitting at the bottom of the pile, each trading at or near their 25-week lows. And while names like Tilray are already so beaten down that further downside may be limited, LULU caught my eye.
This is still an expensive stock, with real room to fall.
After a rough series of earnings, LULU has slipped from over $420 earlier this year to around $227. Even with better-than-expected numbers, the stock has struggled to recover, and that's not a good sign.
So, how do we position ourselves for further weakness?
The 225 puts are going for about $8. But opening a 225/220 put spread would only cost a little over $2. That caps risk, improves breakeven, and still leaves the door open for a potential double.
We'll soon take a deeper dive into the best trading strategies of the year. But first, I wanted to give you an example of the power in blocking out the noise of the 24/7 news cycle – and understanding what the market is really doing beneath the surface.
Whether it's a tech breakout like Coinbase or a weak rebound like Lululemon, the opportunities are there—you just need to know where to look and how to trade them smartly.

How I'm Trading 2025's Biggest Winners And Losers

Corporate crypto treasury strategies offer substantial opportunities but also carry the risk of a damaging feedback loop, according to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46148645/bitcoin-heavyweight-strategy-faces-multiple-securities-fraud-lawsuits-over-btc-treasury-disclosures-report">Franklin Templeton Digital Assets report.</a>
What Happened: The firm <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/360913/franklin-templeton-flags-uncertain-outlook-for-crypto-treasury-firms-citing-dangerous-feedback-loop-risk?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss">noted</a> in its report published on Wednesday the growing number of publicly traded companies adopting crypto treasury models, where businesses raise capital to purchase and hold crypto assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) on their balance sheets.
According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, around 135 public companies are now following this approach with Bitcoin alone.
Inspired by Michael Saylor's playbook at Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), these companies have collectively raised billions of dollars since early 2024 through instruments such as equity offerings, convertible notes, preferred shares, private placements, and in some cases, SPACs or reverse mergers.
Beyond Strategy's leadership in Bitcoin, other key players include Metaplanet (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>), Twenty One, SharpLink, Upexi, and Sol Strategies, each focusing on specific crypto assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana.
Franklin Templeton analysts highlighted the key advantage of this model: companies can raise capital at a premium to their net asset value (NAV), meaning they can issue shares at a price higher than the value of the crypto they hold. 
This dynamic, they noted, is supported by crypto's inherent price volatility, which increases the value of embedded options in instruments like convertible notes.
Rising crypto prices can also create a positive feedback loop where higher valuations attract new investors, reinforcing stock price gains and enabling further capital raises. 
For firms holding Proof-of-Stake assets like Ethereum and Solana, staking provides an additional revenue stream that compounds potential returns.

Why It Matters: Franklin Templeton warned that the strategy is not without significant risks.
If a company's stock price falls below its NAV, issuing new shares would dilute existing investors and could halt capital inflows, disrupting the growth cycle. 
Falling crypto prices could spark a negative spiral, where companies are forced to sell assets to stabilize their stock price, which would further depress crypto markets and erode investor confidence.
&#8220;The corporate crypto treasury model is a new phase of institutional adoption, but managing the premium to NAV and navigating market volatility will be critical to the model's survival,&#8221; the analysts concluded. 
A sustained market drawdown or an extended bear market could quickly make these companies highly risky bets.
Analysts at Presto Research have also flagged that the risks of liquidation or collapse within the crypto treasury sector are real, though they argue these risks are more nuanced than previous crises like Terra (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>) or Three Arrows Capital. 
Meanwhile, Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) Institutional's David Duong has warned that aggressive, leveraged corporate crypto buying could eventually pose systemic risks, though near-term pressures remain contained.

20. Pony AI (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>)
Why It's Important: The top 10 list for the first six months of 2025 looked similar to the month of June, with eight of the companies the same.
UnitedHealth Group, which has appeared in only one top 20 over the past three months, ranked sixth thanks to the strong interest in the ticker at the start of the year.
Super Micro Computer similarly ranked eighth for the first half of 2025 despite only a ninth place rank in April and not being in the top 20 in May or June. The stock was particularly popular during the first three months of the year.
If the top 10 holds steady for the rest of the year, the top three stocks would match the 2024 year, but in a different order. In 2024, it was Nvidia ranked first, followed by Tesla and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust. The three stocks now rank in opposite order through the first six months of the year.
Outside of the top 10 there weren't many huge surprises with themes such as cryptocurrency, AI and quantum computing being strong in the first six months of 2025.
Apple ended the first half of the year ranked 12th, despite previously ranking in the top 10 in several months to start the year. Other Mag 7 stocks such as Amazon and Meta also ranked in the 11 to 20. Alphabet ranked just outside of the top 20 for the first half of the year at 22nd place. Nowhere to be found in the top 25 was Microsoft, a member of the Mag 7 and the second most valuable company in the world.

EXCLUSIVE: 2025's First Half Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro — Where Do Nvidia, Tesla, Apple Stock Rank?

Design company Figma (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIG#NYSE">FIG</a>) has filed for an IPO and, along with sharing impressive revenue figures and year-over-year growth, the company's investments in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) are making headlines.
What Happened: Figma is set to go public on the NYSE under the ticker FIG and will come to the market after a $20 billion buyout from Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38893439/figma-sets-12-5b-valuation-in-new-equity-offering-falling-short-of-adobes-acquisition-offer"> blocked by regulators.</a>
The Figma IPO <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1579878/000162828025033742/figma-sx1.htm">filing</a> was filled with details about the company's financials and also included 21 mentions of the word &#8220;Bitcoin.&#8221;
In the filing, Figma revealed that its Board of Directors approved an investment in Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, and the company currently owns approximately $69.5 million, held in the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>), as of March 31, 2025.
The company holds the Bitcoin ETF assets at fair value.
What may be even more surprising ahead of the IPO is that Figma is planning to invest further in Bitcoin in the future. 
The company recently purchased $30 million in USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), which will be used as part of Figma's board approving a $30 million investment in Bitcoin.
"The company intends to reinvest its stablecoin holdings into Bitcoin at a later date," the filing reads.
Figma's IPO filing caught the attention of cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
"Holding Bitcoin and using USDC. We should be friends," Coinbase <a href="https://x.com/coinbase/status/1940159396954481149">tweeted</a>.
The filing revealing Figma's bets on Bitcoin comes as an increasing number of public companies are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet, including video game retailer GameStop.
Figma lists volatility related to an investment in Bitcoin ETFs as a risk factor and the wording suggests continued investment in Bitcoin in the future.
"From time to time, we have also invested excess cash reserves in alternative assets, such as the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, and may do so in the future,&#8221; the filing reads. &#8220;The investments in our portfolio are subject to our corporate investment policy, which focuses on the preservation of capital, fulfillment of our liquidity needs, and maximization of investment performance within the parameters set forth in our corporate investment policy and subject to market conditions."

Why It's Important: Those familiar with Figma CEO and co-founder Dylan Field may not be surprised to see his preference for investing in Bitcoin.
Field previously <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2021/03/18/figma-ceo-dylan-field-talks-cryptopunks-nft-beeple-metaverse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sold </a>one of the most expensive non-fungible tokens ever, a rare alien CryptoPunk, for $7.5 million in Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). Field's NFT <a href="https://opensea.io/0x8e7644918b3e280fb3b599ca381a4efcb7ade201?searchQuery=cryptopunk">portfolio </a>still holds 14 CryptoPunks, including one rare alien.
The Figma IPO reveals the company had revenue of $749.0 million in 2024, up 48% year-over-year. The company reported revenue of $228.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 46% year-over-year increase. Figma shows an 18% non-GAAP operating margin in its filing.
Another highlight in the IPO filing is Figma's customer base, which includes 95% of the Fortune 500 companies and 78% of the Forbes 2000 companies.
Figma's growth and its belief in Bitcoin on the balance sheet could be attractive items to get investors excited about the company's upcoming IPO.

Shares of crypto-linked stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of Bitcoin.

Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTBT#NASDAQ">BTBT</a>) has successfully raised approximately $163 million through an underwritten share offering, with the full exercise of underwriters' option enabling the company to launch an Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46177905/inside-tom-lees-plan-to-build-microstrategy-of-ethereum-at-bitmine">treasury initiative.</a>
What Happened: The Nasdaq-listed firm <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bit-digital-inc-announces-full-exercise-of-underwriters-option-to-purchase-additional-ordinary-shares-302495965.html">issued</a> 86.25 million ordinary shares, securing net proceeds of $162.9 million to acquire and stake ETH as part of its corporate treasury strategy.
This move reflects a growing trend among public companies adopting crypto treasury strategies. 
BitMine Immersion Technologies (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>) recently completed a $250 million private placement to establish an ETH treasury, signaling its transition from Bitcoin-only holdings.
Similarly, SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBET#NASDAQ">SBET</a>), a Nasdaq-listed entity, became the largest public ETH holder, expanding its treasury to 198,167 ETH by acquiring an additional 9,468 ETH between June 23–27, funded through a $24.4 million at-the-market equity facility.
In contrast, Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) (formerly MicroStrategy) remains the dominant Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury leader, recently acquiring nearly 5,000 BTC for $532 million. 
The firm now holds over 597,000 BTC, valued at more than $64 billion, financed via its ATM equity program.

Why It Matters: The rising institutional interest in Ethereum as a treasury asset highlights the broader appeal of staking yields and decentralized finance utility.
Bit Digital, which launched its ETH staking platform in 2022, now operates one of the largest Ethereum validator and custody infrastructures among public firms.
Meanwhile, corporate interest in Bitcoin treasuries continues to expand. More than 140 publicly traded firms globally, including Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), and Coinbase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), have added BTC to their balance sheets.
These entities follow a playbook popularized by Strategy's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation model.
Industry analysts warn that companies leveraging debt or equity to fund crypto acquisitions may face heightened volatility risk. 
Still, the strategy has attracted significant capital, automated market makers and institutional inflows, that support large-scale crypto treasury initiatives.
Bit Digital's Ethereum treasury raise, alongside similar corporate moves, signals a clear shift in how publicly traded firms are applying digital assets within their treasury portfolios. 
The strategy appears aimed at achieving both on-chain yield and broader token exposure, reflecting evolving corporate finance models.

'MicroStrategy Of Ethereum' Approach Gains Popularity As BitDigital Raises $163 Million

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tesla Inc. and Coinbase Global Inc. . These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning amid ongoing market developments. The transactions occurred as Tesla faced a dip in share price due to external factors, while Coinbase dealt with legal challenges.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), acquired 43,126 shares of the Elon Musk-led company, while ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) added 13,242 shares to its portfolio. The total value of these purchases, based on the latest closing price, amounts to $16.95 million. Tesla shares ended the day at $300.71.
Despite a recent decline in Tesla&#8217;s stock, driven by Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46206369/whats-going-on-with-tesla-shares-today-2">public disagreement</a> with former President Donald Trump over a federal spending bill, Ark remains bullish on Tesla&#8217;s long-term potential.

Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has reiterated his optimistic outlook on Tesla, highlighting it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46192638/tesla-is-one-of-the-two-best-physical-ai-plays-says-dan-ives-as-he-expects-2-trillion-in-valuation-were-not-even-factoring-optimus">leading player in the physical AI sector</a>. Ives projects a $2 trillion valuation for the company, excluding potential earnings from its humanoid robot, Optimus. Tesla is Ark Invest&#8217;s largest holding, making up 9.7% of its portfolio by weight. The market value of Ark&#8217;s Tesla shares stands at $664.7 million.
The Coinbase Trade
In contrast, Ark Invest reduced its stake in Coinbase by selling 9,116 shares through ARKW. This decision comes as Coinbase faces legal hurdles, with the Supreme Court denying an appeal to prevent the IRS from accessing user data. On Tuesday, Coinbase shares closed at $335.33. The Ark transaction was valued at $3.06 million.
The legal head of Coinbase, a platform that allows trade in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), has vowed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46187838/coinbase-legal-head-vows-to-continue-the-fight-after-supreme-court-rejects-appeal-to-block-irs-from-accessing-user-data">continue the fight</a>, underscoring the ongoing challenges the company faces in navigating regulatory landscapes.

Why It&#8217;s Important:&nbsp;The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust remained the most-searched ticker for a third straight month. Tesla moved back to second place for top searches after ranking fourth and third in the last two months, respectively.
Nvidia fell from second place to third, but kept a streak going of being one of the top three most-searched tickers each month in 2025.
New to the top 10 for June were Circle, CoreWeave, Applied Digital and Oklo. Circle was a new IPO in June and started its first month in fifth place. CoreWeave went public in March and after placing in 11th place in May, jumped to sixth place.
New IPOs have a history of being trending stocks for the first month or two and then dropping out of the top 20.
Advanced Micro Devices climbed back into the top 10 after ranking in the 11 to 20 range for several months.
Apple declined a lot in June, going from 10th to 19th place. This marks the first time Apple has been out of the top 10 since February.
Dropping out of the top 10 in June were UnitedHealth Group, Asset Entities, Super Micro Computer and D-Wave Quantum.  
Cryptocurrency continued to be a popular trend with Coinbase and Robinhood ranking in the top 20 and several companies that have bought cryptocurrency or established a crypto asset reserve ranking in the top 20.

EXCLUSIVE: June's 20 Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro — Where Do CoreWeave, Nvidia, Apple Stock Rank?

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) price may continue to stay within its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">current trading range</a> despite rising institutional interest and significant ETF inflows, according to Michael Bucella, managing partner at Neoclassic Capital.
In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j09LmitdAL4">interview</a> with CNBC on Tuesday, Bucella explained that although demand for Bitcoin is strong, structural factors are preventing further price movement.
&#8220;ETF inflows have been enormous, I think $4 billion in June alone,&#8221; Bucella said, highlighting the surge of institutional capital entering Bitcoin through regulated products. 
However, he pointed out that this demand is not directly translating into higher prices.
Bucella said that some investors are rotating out of Bitcoin spot positions and into crypto-related equities like Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Circle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), and Bitcoin treasury companies, shifting how they gain exposure to the asset class. 
&#8220;There&#8217;s people replacing Bitcoin spot risk with Circle or Coinbase or treasury companies,&#8221; he noted.
One of the key supply-side pressures, according to Bucella, comes from Bitcoin miners who are now operating on increasingly narrow margins.

&#8220;If you don&#8217;t have highly credible, high top assets with great operating teams to pivot to at least attempt to get an AI contract or a hyperscaler contract, you have to sort of run these sometimes loss operating models,&#8221; Bucella said. 
He added that this is leading some miners to sell Bitcoin to sustain their operations.
Despite Bitcoin&#8217;s year-to-date gains of approximately 15%, Bucella noted that the asset's performance has not aligned with the strength seen in broader equity markets. 
&#8220;It is a bit surprising to have seen the price of Bitcoin stay stuck in this sort of range,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: Bucella also commented on Bitcoin's behavior during recent geopolitical tensions.
During the Israel-Iran conflict escalation, Bitcoin sold off, showing that it continues to behave like a risk asset rather than acting as a defensive hedge. 
&#8220;If it&#8217;s not going to [act like digital gold], to me, its most valuable kind of selling point is when it acts like digital gold,&#8221; Bucella said.
Looking at the broader market, Bucella observed that demand remains strong for Bitcoin treasury companies, but smaller firms may need to develop more diversified models beyond simply holding Bitcoin to remain attractive to investors.
He also commented on Circle's valuation surge following its IPO, suggesting that the company's potential to reshape payment systems, rather than simply its stablecoin issuance, may be what investors are focusing on. 
&#8220;What Circle represents is potentially destabilizing the traditional payments and traditional capital markets rails,&#8221; Bucella said.

Why Bitcoin Is Trapped In A Range Despite Record ETF, Treasury Company Flows

Bitwise Asset Management says Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) are expected to reach new all-time highs in 2025, with Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">projected to trade above $200,000</a>.
The prediction, <a href="https://experts.bitwiseinvestments.com/cio-memos/mid-year-scorecard-bitwises-2025-predictions">shared</a> in Bitwise's mid-year forecast review, reflects the firm's continued confidence in rising institutional demand and favorable market conditions for the second half of the year.
Bitcoin has already set a new record this year, briefly hitting $112,000 in May, driven by strong flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, the establishment of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and corporate treasury demand.
However, Ethereum and Solana have declined year-to-date, with macroeconomic uncertainty limiting broader crypto market momentum so far.
Bitwise said it remains committed to its call that Bitcoin will exceed $200,000 by year-end, citing surging institutional interest, improved policy signals from Washington, and strengthening stablecoin demand as key drivers. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46178713/new-bitcoin-backed-stablecoin-vaults-offer-yield-strategies-without-requiring-btc-sales">New Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin Vaults Offer Yield Strategies Without Requiring BTC Sales</a>
The firm said it is less certain about Ethereum and Solana reaching new highs but acknowledged potential catalysts in the growing use of crypto treasury solutions and expected ETF approvals.
The forecast is part of a set of ten predictions Bitwise made for 2025, which also included expectations for increased Bitcoin ETF inflows, more crypto IPOs, and rising adoption of tokenized real-world assets.
While some predictions remain uncertain, Bitwise confirmed that Coinbase's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) entry into the S&amp;P 500 and Strategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 have already materialized, signaling deeper crypto integration into mainstream financial indices.
Bitwise said it expects the pace of crypto ETF inflows to accelerate in the second half of the year as major wealth management platforms in the U.S. begin offering Bitcoin ETF access to a broader range of clients.

Bitcoin To Hit $200,000 In 2025, But New ETH, SOL Highs Remain In Doubt, Bitwise Says

Coinbase Global shares are trading lower on possible continued weakness amid the Supreme Court's decision to block the company's appeal to block the IRS from accessing its user data.

The Supreme Court rejected Monday an appeal to block the Internal Revenue Service from accessing&nbsp; Coinbase Global Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) user data.
What happened: The apex court denied a request from James Harper, a Coinbase account holder, who argued that the summons by the IRS demanding users' transaction data violated their privacy rights under the Fourth Amendment.
Harper filed a lawsuit against the agency in 2020, but it was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire in 2021.
The Supreme Court decided not to review the decision, meaning that the lower court's ruling stands.
Coinbase filed an amicus brief in May supporting Harper's case, arguing that the government&#8217;s sweeping data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45185950/coinbase-challenges-irs-data-demands-at-us-supreme-court">requests threaten Americans&#8217; digital privacy</a>.&nbsp;
Paul Grewal, Coinbase's legal head, expressed disappointment with the decision but vowed to "continue the fight."

Coinbase Legal Head Vows To 'Continue The Fight' After Supreme Court Rejects Appeal To Block IRS From Accessing User Data

Bitcoin, the world's most valuable cryptocurrency, drove the moves of the broader cryptocurrency market in the first half of 2025, encountering historic highs and sharp corrections.&nbsp;While some investments were successful, others left a large hole in investors&#8217; portfolios.
What Happened: Spurred by the apex coin's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43079668/bitcoin-hits-record-109000-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration-sparks-market-rally">January peak</a>, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization hit $3.64 trillion. But macroeconomic fears, precipitated by President Donald Trump's tariff policies, turned things upside down. The market capitalization fell by 18.6% in the first quarter, ending March at $2.67 trillion.
Things worsened in the early part of the second quarter as Bitcoin tumbled below $75,000. However, with tariffs getting extended for three months and the administration forging deals with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46113383/us-china-trade-deal-could-be-finalized-next-week-says-harvard-scholar-they-are-going-to-stabilize-this">key trade partners like China</a>, sentiment improved. The market capitalization soared 26% in the second quarter.

Among large-cap cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin was clearly the frontrunner, gaining over 15% since the year began. Solana also accumulated gains of over 7%.
However, leading coins like Ethereum, Dogecoin and XRP disappointed investors with negative returns.
The table below shows how much a $1000 investment in each of these coins at the start of the year would have grown to by the halfway point of 2025.

It is worth noting that Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance increased from 56% to 64%, while the market share of altcoins, excluding Ethereum, fell from 31% to 26% in the first six months. A high BTC dominance typically implies that investors are more confident in Bitcoin relative to other cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the reading on the Crypto Fear and Greed <a href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/">Index </a>was 66, indicating a &#8220;Greed&#8221; sentiment. Interestingly, the reading was similar at the beginning of the year.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP Or Dogecoin: If You Invested $1,000 In These Cryptos When 2025 Began, Here is How Much You'd Have Today Now That Half The Year Is Over

On Monday, Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest executed significant portfolio adjustments, prominently acquiring shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) while reducing positions in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
The AMD Trade Ark purchased 356,275 AMD shares across Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) funds, reinforcing confidence in the chipmaker&#8217;s positioning within the AI infrastructure race. For the day, AMD stock closed at $141.90, making the transactions worth $50.55 million.
This follows AMD&#8217;s recent volatility as it navigates supply-chain dynamics and intensifying competition in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102073/whats-going-on-with-amd-shares-today">accelerated computing markets</a>. Recently, the chipmaker announced a new collaboration with HCLTech. The two companies intend to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102073/whats-going-on-with-amd-shares-today">set up joint innovation labs</a> dedicated to advancing solutions in AI, digital infrastructure, and cloud computing. The Coinbase Trade
Ark sold 124,892 Coinbase shares across ARKK, ARKW and ARKF ETFs despite Bernstein&#8217;s recent $510 price target and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46112072/coinbase-is-the-amazon-of-crypto-services-price-target-boosted-to-510-bernstein">&#8220;Amazon of crypto&#8221; endorsement</a>. On Monday, Coinbase stock ended the day at $350.49. The sale by ARK was valued at $43.77 million.
The reduction coincides with Wood&#8217;s observation that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46161157/bitcoin-investors-faced-mortgage-hurdles-due-to-crypto-tied-assets-says-cathie-wood-wont-be-surprised-if-they-were-to-shift-some-of-their-btc-to-coinbase">face mortgage hurdles</a> with crypto-backed assets, potentially driving capital toward regulated exchanges like Coinbase. This strategic trimming occurs even as Ark maintains Coinbase as its second-largest portfolio holding at 8.84%.

The new offerings include stock and ETF tokens, now available in the EU. These tokens allow users to gain exposure to U.S. equities through Robinhood Stock Tokens.
These tokens come with zero commissions and offer dividend support alongside 24/5 access.
With this launch, Robinhood&#8217;s European app transitions from a solely crypto-focused app to a comprehensive investment platform powered by crypto, marking a significant expansion.
Vlad Tenev, Robinhood&#8217;s chairman and CEO, emphasized the company&#8217;s aim to lay the groundwork for crypto to serve as the backbone of the global financial system. Additionally, Johann Kerbrat, GM and SVP of Robinhood Crypto, highlighted that crypto was initially built for engineers and hasn&#8217;t been easily accessible to most people. &#8220;We&#8217;re onboarding the world to crypto by making it as easy to use as possible,&#8221; said Kerbrat.
Robinhood has also introduced crypto perpetual futures to the EU, offering up to 3x leverage for eligible users. This launch is designed to provide active traders with more sophisticated tools in a user-friendly environment. Furthermore, the company is launching crypto staking in the U.S., beginning with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), allowing customers to participate in blockchain ecosystems and earn competitive rewards.

Additionally, Robinhood has unveiled its upcoming Layer 2 blockchain, built on Arbitrum. This blockchain will enable seamless trading and self-custody and power tokenized stocks and real-world assets in the future.
Tokenization in crypto involves creating blockchain-based representations of assets, allowing investors to gain price exposure without holding the underlying assets.
Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Kraken are pursuing tokenized stock trading to challenge established platforms such as Robinhood and eToro.
Republic, a New York-based investment platform, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46121954/retail-investors-can-now-trade-spacex-shares-heres-how" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has begun offering</a> tokenized exposure to SpaceX shares, providing retail investors access to private company stakes that were previously reserved for large, accredited investors. 
The digital tokens, which give exposure to share performance without granting direct ownership, will soon be available for purchase. Republic plans to expand this offering to other private giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, X, Waymo.
This announcement comes as the U.S. crypto industry experiences a more favorable regulatory environment under President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration.
Robinhood Markets stock is up 131% year-to-date.
Robinhood reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45118133/robinhood-q1-earnings-highlights-record-trading-volumes-transaction-based-revenues-up-77-gold-subscribers-up-90" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter earnings</a> of&nbsp;37&nbsp;cents per share in April, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;32&nbsp;cents.

Robinhood Just Made Crypto Simpler — And Way More Powerful

Shares of WeBuy Global Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBUY#NASDAQ">WBUY</a>) are surging Monday morning after the Southeast Asian e-commerce and travel technology company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46164990/webuy-global-ltd-integrates-coinbase-to-accept-stablecoin-payments-leading-the-way-in-travel-techn">announced</a> it has integrated Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) into its platform, enabling a significant expansion of its payment options.
What To Know: The integration allows customers globally to purchase travel packages and products using hundreds of cryptocurrencies, most notably stablecoins like USDC. This strategic move is designed to eliminate cross-border payment frictions and cater to a growing international clientele in crypto-active markets. 
For its travel brand, WeTrip, which offers tour packages to China, accepting stablecoins could be particularly impactful, as it reduces foreign exchange risks and bypasses costly intermediary banking processes.
&#8220;As we expand globally, offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46164990/webuy-global-ltd-integrates-coinbase-to-accept-stablecoin-payments-leading-the-way-in-travel-techn">stablecoin payments</a> allows us to serve the evolving needs of international travelers with greater speed and convenience,&#8221; said Bin Xue, CEO of WeBuy Global.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, WBUY shares are trading higher by 30.6% to $7.32 Monday morning. The stock has a significant short interest, with 25.99% of its stock&#8217;s float currently being sold short. WBUY has a 52-week high of $69.27 and a 52-week low of $0.11.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy WBUY Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in WeBuy Global&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Staples sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
