Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily functions as digital currency, Ethereum operates as a programmable global computer where developers can create any type of decentralized service.   The platform hosts over $14 billion in DeFi applications with hundreds of thousands of active users across financial protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Its transition to Proof of Stake in September 2022 reduced energy consumption by over 99%, addressing environmental concerns while strengthening network security.  The network operates through thousands of independent validator nodes that process transactions and execute smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Smart contracts are self-executing programs written in Solidity that automatically carry out agreements when conditions are met, eliminating intermediaries like banks or brokers.   Validators stake ETH as collateral to propose and validate blocks, earning rewards for honest participation while facing penalties for malicious behavior. The EIP-1559 upgrade introduced a dynamic base fee mechanism that burns ETH with each transaction, creating deflationary pressure during high network activity when more ETH is burned than issued to validators.  Vitalik Buterin proposed Ethereum in 2013, but seven co-founders helped build it, including Gavin Wood who created Solidity and the EVM technical specification, and Joseph Lubin who founded ConsenSys. The project launched in July 2015 after raising over $18 million through crowdfunding, quickly becoming the largest blockchain developer community. Major milestones include the 2020 Beacon Chain launch, the 2021 London hard fork implementing fee burning, and the 2022 Merge to Proof of Stake.   Ether (ETH) serves multiple functions: paying transaction fees (gas), staking to secure the network and earn 3-5% annual yields, serving as collateral in DeFi protocols, and purchasing NFTs and digital assets. The asset is increasingly adopted by traditional institutions, with publicly traded companies adding ETH to corporate treasuries to generate staking yields while maintaining blockchain exposure, and in 2024, the SEC approved spot Ethereum ETFs, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure through conventional brokerage accounts.  Ethereum's roadmap focuses on dramatically increasing transaction capacity to over 100,000 per second, reducing confirmation times, and enhancing decentralization while maintaining security against future threats like quantum computing.

Ethereum is trending as recent developments highlight its growing integration into traditional finance, with the European Central Bank piloting blockchain technology and JPMorgan launching a stablecoin on the network.

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.

Ripple

XRP is experiencing heightened conversation, with proponents emphasizing its foundational utility for global finance and sustained institutional interest through ETF accumulation. Conversely, many in the community express frustration over its prolonged price stagnation and sensitivity to broader market movements, particularly amidst ongoing discussions around regulatory clarity.

Cronos is an institutional-grade, high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK and integrated with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, designed as the backbone for open, compliant, and AI-accessible tokenized markets. It supports up to 60,000 transactions per second (TPS), 500ms block times, instant finality, and sub-$0.01 fees via Proof of Authority consensus.

Crypto.com Coin

Crypto.com Coin (CRO) is a trending topic amidst news of a strategic partnership with 21Shares US to explore proposed investment products like a CRO Private Trust and ETF, aimed at expanding regulated access to the Cronos ecosystem. Concurrently, there's significant community discussion around the multi-chain meme coin "crow with knife" ($CAW), with many believing it will inject substantial volume into the Cronos chain and benefit CRO. Despite these potential catalysts, sentiment is divided, as a vocal segment of holders expresses frustration over CRO's prolonged price stagnation.

It also projected that the Chinese economy would grow by 5% this year, up from an earlier forecast of 4.9%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Did The OECD Say?</h2>While Donald Trump’s tariffs have caused an uptick in inflation, the strong spending by tech firms has helped offset the blows, the OECD said. According to a Reuters News report, citing a recent note by Sage Advisory, AI capital expenditure is projected to rise to $600 billion by 2027, compared with little over $200 billion in 2024 and just under $400 billion in 2025, and net debt issuance is expected to reach $100 billion in 2026.The OECD stated that despite rapidly cooling job growth and numerous other factors, real U.S. GDP growth through the first half of 2025 was “fairly resilient.” However, without the AI spending, the U.S. GDP contracted by 0.1%.“Everything that has to do with firms purchasing equipment that will allow them to thrive in this new technological age, all that has lifted economic activity in ways that have somehow offset some of the negative impacts related to policy uncertainty and related to the effect of tariffs on economic activity,” stated Luiz de Mello, the OECD’s director of country studies, according to a Bloomberg News report.The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ), which tracks the top 100 NASDAQ companies, have advanced 15.8% and 21% this year.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Impact Of Further Tariff Hikes</h2>The OECD also kept its global GDP growth forecast unchanged at 3.2% in 2025 and 2.9% in 2026. It expects growth to pick up to 3.1% in 2027 and also estimates that inflation would return to target in almost all major economies by mid-2027.However, the OECD warned that further increases or swift changes in trade barriers, including the application of higher tariff rates to a broader range of goods or stricter controls on the export of critical products such as rare earth elements, could hurt growth, add to policy uncertainty, and generate significant disruptions in global supply chains.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/exxon-in-talks-to-acquire-lukoil-s-giant-iraq-oilfield-stake-as-sanctions-force-russian-firm-s-exit/cLIa0a2RE0m">Exxon In Talks To Acquire Lukoil’s Giant Iraq Oilfield Stake As Sanctions Force Russian Firm's Exit: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

In a tight market, even a mild spike in selling could affect prices much harder than usual.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Examples Of Long Squeeze</h2>According to IG analysts, between April 9 and April 21, 2020, the WTI crude benchmark’s price dropped by about 46% suddenly, triggering a long squeeze. While the price rose slightly over the following days, on April 26, a 22% drop forced buyers to exit their positions to cover losses.The squeeze came amid a rise in crude supply and concerns about elevated levels at oil storage facilities driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.In October 2025, the cryptocurrency markets experienced the largest liquidation event in history after President Donald Trump threatened “massive” tariffs in response to Beijing’s rare-earth export curbs. Between October 10 and October 11, nearly $20 billion in leveraged trading positions were liquidated, affecting 1.6 million traders.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cyber-monday-how-the-biggest-event-in-online-shopping-in-the-us-came-around/cLI7KIlREiu">Cyber Monday: How The Biggest Event In Online Shopping In The US Came Around</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

"I am far more worried about that than others," he <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg5ej03p604o.amp">told the BBC</a> in an interview. The veteran CEO added that there were a "lot of things out there" creating an atmosphere of uncertainty, such as the volatile geopolitical environment, fiscal spending, and the remilitarization of the world."All these things cause a lot of issues that we don't know how to answer," he said. "So I say the level of uncertainty should be higher in most people's minds than what I would call normal."Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</a> (SPY) was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing, while traders were ‘extremely bearish’ about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</a> (QQQ), which tracks the top 100 Nasdaq companies.Over the past few years, U.S. stocks have rallied on optimism surrounding artificial intelligence. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes recorded fresh all-time intraday and closing highs on Wednesday. However, some investors fear that the stock market is in an AI bubble, a situation similar to the frenzy surrounding early internet firms in the 1990s, which resulted in the dot-com bubble."The way I look at it is AI is real, AI in total will pay off," Dimon reportedly stated. "Just like cars in total paid off, and TVs in total paid off, but most people involved in them didn't do well." The chief of the biggest U.S. bank also noted that some of the money invested in AI will probably be lost.Views On Trump AdministrationDimon admitted that the U.S. had grown a "little less reliable." However, he said that some of the Trump administration's policies have propelled Europe to address its underinvestment in NATO and its lagging economic competitiveness.The key Wall Street executive also weighed in on the dispute between the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Trump administration over benchmark interest rates. Trump has frequently criticized Fed Chair Jerome Powell for being “too late” to lower rates, which has raised concerns about the independence of the U.S. central bank.Dimon reportedly said he thought central bank independence was important, but was willing to take Trump "at his word" that he would not interfere with Fed independence.He also spoke about the trade dispute between the U.S. and India. Dimon said he wanted to "bring India closer" and he thought that the two sides were close to a deal to cut additional tariffs on India, which were slapped on the South Asian nation for its purchases of Russian crude. "In fact, I've spoken to several of the Trump officials who say they want to do that, and I've been told that they are going to do that," he said.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-walks-back-generic-drug-tariffs-after-white-house-clash-over-prices-supply-risks/ch67JdhR30E">Trump Walks Back Plan To Slap Tariffs On Generic Drugs After White House Clash Over Prices, Supply Risks: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio reportedly warned on Friday that the United States’ inability to cut back on spending and prevent the piling of debt is putting the monetary order at risk.According to a Bloomberg News <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-19/ray-dalio-says-us-monetary-order-is-at-risk-as-debt-mounts">report</a>, Dalio noted that the U.S. will spend about $7 trillion this year and earn only $5 trillion. Due to interest payments and roll-over of maturing borrowings, “this means you have to sell $12 trillion in debt,” he reportedly said, without giving a timeframe, during the FutureChina Global Forum in Singapore.“The market in the world does not have that same sort of demand for that debt, and that creates a supply-demand imbalance,” he noted and attributed the credit to “human nature.”U.S. federal debt stands at over $37.49 trillion, and is expected to rise even further due to President Donald Trump’s signature tax and spending bill, which was signed into law in July. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the U.S. law will add over $3.4 trillion to the national debt. Trump’s allies have assured that tariff revenue will offset some of that burden.“You’re seeing the threat to the monetary order,” Dalio said. “Other factors together will determine whether we’re seeing the end of the entire U.S. empire.”The U.S. dollar index, which compares the greenback to a basket of currencies, still advanced 0.3% on Friday, as investors debated whether the Federal Reserve would deliver two more 25-basis-point cuts this year after Chair Jerome Powell struck a cautious tone earlier this week.&nbsp;Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about both the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</a> (SPY) and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</a> (QQQ) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.The Bloomberg report stated that Dalio’s fellow panelist, Ng Kok Song, founding partner of Avanda Investment Management, noted the deficit and other issues were putting the U.S. dollar’s strength and supremacy at risk.In response, Dalio reportedly said Trump administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, are taking “certain actions” to maintain the dollar’s dominance, while adding that he didn’t have insight into what the measures were.“Speaking with Secretary Bessent and people in the administration, there is a greater realization of these problems and greater proactiveness to be able to deal with them than there was before, by a lot,” he stated.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-is-tesla-stock-rising-over-1-premarket/chDdxa1R3R1">Why Is Tesla Stock Rising Over 1% Premarket?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

UnitedHealth shares closed up nearly 9%&nbsp;at a nearly four-month high on Tuesday after Wall Street analysts said&nbsp;the health insurer’s preliminary Medicare Advantage star ratings came in better than feared, even as industry benchmarks for Stars grew tougher.The insurer said about 78% of its members are expected to be in plans rated four stars or higher for Star Year 2026, up from last year and consistent with historical averages.&nbsp;UnitedHealth also reaffirmed its 2025 adjusted earnings outlook,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/unitedhealth-announces-disappointing-full-year-guidance-q2-earnings/cho9MXLR5Uo">first issued in July</a>, when it forecast revenue of $445.5 billion to $448.0 billion and adjusted earnings of at least $16 per share, down from $27.66 in 2024. The guidance includes the recently closed acquisition of Amedisys.Leerink said the disclosure was “better than feared,” highlighting UnitedHealth’s performance despite tougher Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) cut points and new weighting factors. The&nbsp;research firm, which&nbsp;maintained an ‘Outperform’ rating, also noted that UnitedHealth appeared to have broken from the traditional ‘embargo period,’ where plans typically hold ratings details until official publication by the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS).Truist raised its price target on the stock to $365 from $310 while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating, calling the update a “solid” first look at 2026.&nbsp;JPMorgan analyst Lisa Gill reiterated an ‘Overweight’ rating, writing that the data was “likely better than some investors feared,” while Barclays kept an ‘Overweight’ stance with a $352 target, saying the news “should help alleviate investor concerns” and reinforced its thesis of multi-year margin improvement.Leerink added that CMS released cut points for Star Year 2026 and Payment Year 2027 through the HPMS system on Monday night, which is how UnitedHealth was able to disclose its percentages ahead of a conference presentation. “It is possible that if UNH did better, someone could have done worse,” Mayo wrote, noting that cut points overall looked “challenged.”Hyperlift’s Phillip Collins, in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7371216302113431552-uY54/?utm_source&amp;#61;share&amp;utm_medium&amp;#61;member_desktop&amp;rcm&amp;#61;ACoAABXrWbQBsbu0mnmdP2RjAc2t4fwWighMA3I">LinkedIn post</a>, said the 2026 cut points represented “another hard year,” noting that 58% of the measures got harder, 17% easier and 25% stayed the same.&nbsp;Pharmacy measures were especially difficult, with 15 cut points getting tougher and only one easing. Collins said technical specifications also showed declines in colorectal screening measures due to the transition to electronic clinical data systems.UnitedHealth’s preliminary disclosure applies to Star Year 2026 and impacts payment year 2027, a key driver of future Medicare Advantage reimbursements.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for UnitedHealth&nbsp;flipped to ‘bullish’ late Tuesday, versus ‘bearish’ a day ago, amid&nbsp;a 181% spike in 24-hour&nbsp;message volume.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UNH">UnitedHealth’s stock</a> has declined 30.4% so far in 2025,&nbsp;weighing heavily on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and making it among the worst S&amp;P 500 performers this year.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Denmark’s Maersk, considered a bellwether of global trade, raised its forecast for shipping activity worldwide on Thursday, based on strong demand outside North America.The company expects the global container market to grow between 2% and 4% in 2025, compared with its earlier forecast between a 1% decline and 4% expansion.U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff declarations since April 2 have upended global trade, prompting shippers like Maersk to revise their forecasts. Maersk stated that the effective container-weighted import tariff on U.S. imports is estimated at 24%, as per the Presidential Executive Order dated July 31, up from 5% in 2024.However, Maersk, which holds a 14% market share of the container shipping industry, said that several pockets of growth have emerged. The company stated that a contraction in North American imports was more than offset by strong import growth in Europe, Latin America, West-Central Asia, and Africa.“Even with market volatility and historical uncertainty in global trade, demand remained resilient, and we’ve continued to respond with speed and flexibility,” said Vincent Clerc, CEO of Maersk.While projecting a rise in container demand, Maersk warned that the outlook for shipping for the rest of the year remains uncertain, shaped by a “rapidly evolving tariff landscape and high policy uncertainty in the U.S.”Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</a> (SPY) was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing, while traders were ‘neutral’ about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</a> (QQQ) that tracks the Nasdaq 100.The company also noted that economic growth will moderate in the second half of the year as the drag from the U.S. tariffs, heightened uncertainty, and the shift in sentiment begin to take hold.It also expects Red Sea disruptions, which began following the attacks on container ships by Houthis in Yemen, to continue for the remainder of the year.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/apple-s-100-b-us-investment-pledge-drives-this-rare-earth-miner-higher-after-hours/chrlw7dRdde">Apple’s $100B US Investment Pledge Drives This Rare Earth Miner Higher After-Hours, Retail Starts To Find ‘Pot Of Gold’</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
