Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

(ABL) recently reported an upbeat third quarter, with the results surpassing Wall Street expectations for the tenth consecutive quarter.Abacus Global reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.24 in the third quarter (Q3), compared to an estimated EPS of $0.18, according to Stocktwits data. Its revenue stood at $63 million during the quarter, compared to a Street estimate of $50.2 million.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ABL">Abacus Global shares</a> were up more than 4% in Monday’s opening trade. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the company trended in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Stocktwits caught up with CEO Jay Jackson to understand what drove Abacus Global’s Q3 performance, and what lies ahead for the company.We would like to start with your thoughts on Q3 performance, as well as the longevity of the product in the Middle East.We had an incredibly productive Q3. That was our 10th consecutive quarter in a row where we had exceeded earnings expectations related to consensus. So, we're incredibly proud of that. What's interesting about that statistic is that, actually, six of those quarters we beat earnings estimates by over 30%, including Q3, primarily driven by our continued efforts to expand our message and reach new investors and policyholders.We're seeing our origination tick up. We're also seeing new capital coming into the asset. But most importantly, from a market perspective, I think we've also got some wind at our backs. Specifically, around the premise that people are seeking uncorrelated assets. There's almost a flight to safety and other kinds of assets. And this is an uncorrelated yielding product. And now we're starting to see investors really lean into this asset class. I think that's also helping drive our success right now. And we foresee this continuing.The company's business is evolving slightly from a niche life settlement player to the broader alternative asset management and wealth management segments. What’s driving this transformation?I think that was always kind of the natural evolution of our company, which is that we provide a very distinct service initially to policyholders, and that service is helping them monetize or understand the liquidity in their life insurance policy through its current market value.If the number one fear in retirement is running out of money, wouldn't you like to know how long you're going to be in retirement? Right? So, our underwriting is being applied in multiple ways. But in addition to that, institutional asset management firms, banks, etc., have been looking for this kind of yield.How do you plan to sustain this momentum?One, there's a huge amount of excitement around investing in uncorrelated assets. Just look at the price of gold. Gold's what, $4,000 now, right? You could look at alternative assets, whether it's private credit, [they’ve] raised billions. So I think that there's a lot of room to go here, and quite frankly, we're just scratching the surface. Our expectation is that there will be billions and billions of dollars in assets under management with our firm.We expect people to continue seeking this kind of asset, and don't forget that we're the originator. We're the market maker of that asset. So, they have to come to us, and now they're investing directly.Amid this evolution, the company announced a dividend and share buyback. How do you strike a balance between distributing capital and reinvesting in the company's future growth?We felt it was the right time, and the reason was that as we've seen our business evolve, we wanted to reward our shareholders appropriately. If you look at the formula that we put out in our press release, we actually put out a pretty conservative dividend. It's only a little over 20% of our adjusted net income.We have excess capital to deploy, and we took that excess capital and capitalized our shareholders through our recurring revenues. We think that's the right way to conduct ourselves as an alternative asset manager and should be rewarding our shareholders on an annual basis.Regarding the disconnect in valuation, what do you think retail investors and institutions are missing out on?It’s really an education issue, and it's not just institutions; it's retail, it's across the board in understanding that first and foremost, life insurance is an asset. People treat it as something that they never want to use or as a piece of debt. They don't see it, oh, this is just like any other form of private credit. And so that's why that disconnect exists.That education has to start at the core level, and that takes time. We've spent the last three years doing that, and that message is really starting to resonate.We're right at the precipice of what I think is a breakout. And it's coming from institutions, which are really starting to get this business, retail investors who are kind of nodding their heads and saying, "Oh, I really do get this now."What was the driving factor behind raising FY25 net income guidance?I would say the driving factor for us continuing to increase our guidance is predominantly driven by market forces, in a sense. We are [also] becoming more efficient in our underlying business.We run an incredibly efficient and profitable business. And so I think when you look at the raise on our guidance, that was a natural outcome.The average realized gain in Q3 was around 37%, up from 26% in Q2. Is this due to efficiency, or is there another factor driving it? Do you think this is sustainable?I think it's definitely driven by efficiency, but you'll see it vary quarter to quarter. I mean, if you go back a few more quarters, you'll see that number hover between the 20% to 25% range. And I think that this was an exceptional quarter in Q3, partly driven by our efficiencies, partly driven by market factors.There's a lot of uncertainty regarding rates, and people are still not sure if there will be a hard landing or a recession. How are you going to tackle this sort of uncertainty going forward?We're in a great spot for that kind of uncertainty. I mean, consider the asset. We would benefit in two ways. Actually, both sides of our transaction.One, if you're a policyholder and we're in a recession, and you're seeking liquidity, which means you'll look to places that you may not have considered in the past, such as your life insurance policy, to seek liquidity where you haven't done so before. Originations will more than likely tick up during a recession.The second piece that investors seek during a recessionary environment, like a volatile market or a pullback, is uncorrelated assets.What makes you distinct from your competitors, and can you explain the competitive advantage you have?We're the only public company in our entire industry, and that gives us a significant advantage from both a cost of capital and an efficiency perspective. You know we're always driving our growth, because as a public company, you know you're reporting every quarter, and so being innovative is super important.The interview has been edited for clarity and length.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ABL">ABL stock</a> is down 18% year-to-date and 27% over the past 12 months.Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/dow-futures-rise-senate-votes-to-end-government-shutdown/cLPcKrVRE22">Dow Futures Rise As Senate Votes To End Government Shutdown: MTSR, VSAT, RUM, TSM Among Stocks To Watch</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
