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.

Discussions also include potential price targets and the impact of macroeconomic factors on the stock's performance.

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.

XRP is trending as the community debates its future amidst market volatility and the launch of new ETFs; traders are actively discussing potential price floors and whether upcoming events will act as catalysts.

It involves a guide RNA that directs a DNA-cutting enzyme to a specific target in the DNA for it to make a cut. The cell's natural repair process either inactivates the gene or allows scientists to insert a new piece of DNA.Earlier this year, an infant named KJ Muldoon, born with a rare genetic disorder called severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency, was successfully treated with a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy by a team at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.The team behind the treatment of the infant is now designing clinical trials that can be used to gain FDA approval with a gene-editing platform that can be tailored for patients with different genetic mutations, Bloomberg reported. The team is asking for FDA permission to start clinical trials for a liver disorder known as phenylketonuria and urea cycle disorders, the report added.These diseases can be treated by editing genes in the liver, a known target for CRISPR, team members told Bloomberg.&nbsp;Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ardelyx-shares-soar-premarket-as-ceo-sees-continued-demand-for-blockbuster-drug-ibsrela/cLGqRUcR3Ur">Ardelyx Shares Soar Premarket As CEO Sees Continued Demand For Blockbuster Drug Ibsrela</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

President Donald Trump on Monday called on the Democrats to end the government shutdown, which is now in its sixth day, while also expressing his willingness to negotiate with them on healthcare, the key sticking point.In a Truth Social post, Trump&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115329671584864920">said</a>, “Democrats have SHUT DOWN the United States Government right in the midst of one of the most successful Economies, including a Record Stock Market, that our Country has ever had.” The president lamented that this has affected several programs, services and other things the Americans rely on, adding that “It should not have happened.After the Republicans and Democrats could not agree on a stopgap funding deal, the government has been shut down since the start of the fiscal year (October 1). In a report released last Wednesday, Morgan Stanley strategists stated that the possibility of permanent layoffs among federal workers, as well as delays in economic reports, could make the first shutdown in six years more consequential than previous instances.Notwithstanding the headwind, the stock market has been on a tear, clocking fresh highs in a trot. On Monday, all the major stock market gauges closed at fresh records, thanks to the boost provided by artificial intelligence (AI) news flow.For the year-to-date (YTD) period, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> have gained 15.6% and 19.3%, respectively. On Stocktwits, retail traders remained cautious, with the sentiment toward both the SPY and QQQ ETF remaining ‘bearish’ by late Monday. The message volume on the SPY stream remained ‘high,’ while that on the QQQ was at ‘normal’ levels.&nbsp;In his post, Trump said, “I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to reopen. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!”The failure to clinch a funding deal is primarily due to the Democrats’ insistence on extending healthcare funding, mainly the Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire. The expiration of healthcare funding would result in a sharp spike in the healthcare premiums Americans pay. Meanwhile, the Republicans want a plan to keep the government funded until Nov. 21 and negotiate spending policy only through the regular funding process.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IYH">iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF (IYH)</a>, which is up about 5.4% YTD, attracted ‘neutral’ sentiment, a deterioration from the ‘bullish’ mood seen the day before, but the message volume stayed ‘high.’Earlier in the day, while talking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said, “We have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things. And I’m talking about good things with regard to health care, the Hill <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5541610-trump-democrats-healthcare-deal/">reported.</a> When asked if the Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka Obamacare Act, subsidies would be extended, the president said, “If we made the right deal, I’d make a deal. Sure.”“You have subsidies, that’s the problem with ObamaCare. The subsidies are so much, it’s billions and billions of dollars is being wasted. And we could have a much better health care than we have right now. And we’re talking to them. I’m not saying that’s going to happen.”For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/wells-fargo-vouches-for-microsoft-cloud-growth-with-675-price-target/ch6RQDgR3gw">Wells Fargo Vouches For Microsoft Cloud Growth With $675 Price Target On Stock</a>

Trump Says He's 'Happy To Work' With Democrats On 'Failed' Healthcare Policies, But Calls To End Government Shutdown 

The failure to clinch a funding deal is primarily due to the Democrats’ insistence on extending healthcare funding, mainly the Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire.

The looming&nbsp;U.S. government shutdown is seen as a significant headline risk for the market, which has been on an extended bull run. An absence of a deal&nbsp;regarding government funding among lawmakers by Sept. 30, when the fiscal year ends, could result in massive layoffs, further complicating the economic outlook.The standoff concerns a plan for discretionary funding for the upcoming fiscal year. On Sept. 19, a stopgap bill to fund the government through Nov. 21 failed to clear the Senate, where it needed 60 votes, after the Republican-controlled House passed it.An ongoing Stocktwits poll,&nbsp;in partnership with Polymarket, which asked platform users if the U.S. government would shut down this year, found that opinions were split equally. While 51% of the respondents said it&nbsp;was unlikely, 48% said it&nbsp;was likely to occur.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_29_at_2_12_08_AM_png_a52535d339.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-29 at 2.12.08 AM.png">According to Polymarket, Stocktwits’ predictions market partner, the odds of a government shutdown have decreased to 72% from 80% as of Friday. The improved odds reflected optimism after reports, citing a White House official,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-meet-top-congressional-leaders-monday-white-house-official-says-2025-09-28/">stated</a> that President Donald Trump would meet with top lawmakers from both sides of the aisle on Monday to discuss government funding and avert a shutdown. Incidentally, the president cancelled a previous meeting with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to discuss the issue.&nbsp;The main area of contention is the Affordable Care Act tax credit subsidies, which are set to expire by the end of the year. While Democrats are fixated on discussing an extension as part of the negotiations, their Republican counterparts believe there is still time to address the issue.In his preview of the week ahead, economist Mohamed El-Erian said, “All eyes will be on Washington as the U.S. Congress attempts to iterate toward an agreement to avoid a government shutdown,”&nbsp;adding that&nbsp;much depends on the ongoing negotiations between the Trump Administration and Congressional leaders.In a joint statement, Democratic leaders Jefferies and Schumer confirmed Monday’s meeting with Trump and expressed their willingness to help resolve the crisis. “We are resolute in our determination to avoid a government shutdown and address the Republican healthcare crisis,” they said.The stock market has been chugging along nicely despite the multiple headwinds the economy is facing. The major indices trade just shy of their records, with the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> having risen 14% and 17%, respectively, year-to-date.On Stocktwits, sentiment toward both ETFs was ‘neutral’ as of early Monday, while the message volume on both streams remained at ‘high’ levels. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IYH">iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF (IYH)</a> is down 1% this year.&nbsp;Economists and market participants are mainly worried about the shutdown as investors close out the month and quarter, according to a MarketWatch <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-last-thing-the-stock-market-wants-right-now-is-a-government-shutdown-heres-why-7bac216e?mod=home_lead">report.</a> Charles Schwab investment strategist Kevin Gordon reportedly said, “This one could come at a really unfortunate time because we are supposed to get the jobs report on Friday,” adding that “If we don’t get access to that data, it’s going to be a problem.”The report also stated that Wells Fargo Global Strategist Gary Schlossberg said, “At the moment, we view the government shutdown on Oct. 1 as a high-probability event, likely lasting long enough to delay release of the September jobs [report] and, likely, CPI releases, due out October 3 and 15, respectively.”He sees any shutdown now as causing more extensive disruptions to data releases than the partial shutdown that occurred between December 2018 and January 2019 because more agencies are poised to be impacted by the lack of appropriation bills passed by Congress.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sec-s-paul-atkins-signals-fast-track-for-trump-plan-not-retreat-from-transparency/chDMru6R37X">Goodbye Quarterly Earnings?

A White House official reportedly said on Friday that countries with existing trade agreements with the U.S. would be exempt from the recently announced pharmaceutical tariffs.&nbsp;According to a Reuters report&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/reuters.com,2025:newsml_S0N3U402V:0-latest-drug-tariffs-don-t-apply-to-nations-with-trade-deals-white-house-says/">cited</a> by TradingView, when asked whether pharmaceutical tariffs would apply to trading partners such as the European Union and Japan, which already have trade deals, the official stated that the Trump administration would honor the 15% cap as part of those pacts. Other nations with U.S. trade deals include Vietnam, the U.K., Indonesia, and the Philippines. Major partners like India, Canada, and Mexico have yet to finalize&nbsp;an agreement.The clarification comes after President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a 100% tariff on imported, branded, and patented pharmaceutical drugs starting October 1. In his Truth Social&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115267512131958759">post</a> announcing the tariffs, Trump only highlighted that an exception would be made for any company that is “IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America.” He explained that “is building” refers to “‘breaking ground’ and/or ‘under construction’.”In a note to investors on Friday morning, Jefferies analyst Akash Tewari described the new pharmaceutical tariffs as "a win for Pharma" and "a light at the end of the Trump tunnel," noting that several large-cap companies have already announced U.S. manufacturing projects. Tewari suggested the tariffs and the MFN pilot program may serve as a symbolic “on paper” win ahead of midterms, with limited material impact on pharmaceutical companies.The 100% tariff is higher than what Trump had indicated in August.&nbsp; He&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-plans-gradual-tariff-hike-on-imported-pharma-to-250-over-18-months-to-boost-us-production/chr1KgrRd2x">stated</a> that tariffs would be increased over time, allowing companies sufficient time to build factories and relocate production. Trump had said he would start by charging a “small tariff” on pharmaceuticals and raise the rate over a year or more to 150% and even 250%.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IHE">iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (IHE)</a> edged 1.3% higher in midday trade. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the ETF improved to ‘neutral’ from ‘bearish over the past day. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLV">Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV)</a> rose 0.86% with retail sentiment trending in ‘bullish’ territory as chatter rose to ‘high’ from ‘normal’ levels.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/pce-report-core-inflation-holds-steady-at-2-9-in-august/chDViYeR3eE">PCE Report: Core Inflation Holds Steady At 2.9% In August</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
