This collective anticipation is fueling positioning and elevated trading activity.

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins.  Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.  ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained.  As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power.  Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units.   Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.

Litecoin

Litecoin ($LTC) is trending as the crypto community eagerly anticipates the start of a new yearly cycle, fueled by strong bullish sentiment for potential massive gains. Many investors are discussing its historical patterns, suggesting it is primed for a significant uptrend, despite some prevailing bearish perspectives.

ESH Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company. It was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The company was founded on November 17, 2021 and is headquartered in New York, NY.

ESH Acquisition Corp - Ordinary Shares - Class A

ESH Acquisition Corp (ESHA) is capturing significant attention as a low-float SPAC, with market participants actively discussing its high insider ownership and potential for volatile movements. The community is buzzing about its comparisons to other recent 'shell company' runners, fueling speculation for further upward momentum. Traders are anticipating an eventual acquisition or merger as the key driver for its continued trending status.

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 generating significant buzz amidst polarized community sentiment, with discussions centering on potential catalysts like substantial ETF inflows and rapidly depleting exchange reserves sparking "supply shock" speculation. However, many remain wary of upcoming token releases and perceived market manipulation, fueling a sharp debate between those anticipating a major price surge and skeptics who highlight past unfulfilled predictions, as the long-term outlook continues to hinge on growing institutional adoption and regulatory clarity.

NIO Inc - ADR

NIO Inc

NIO is a top trending stock, buoyed by the recent confirmation of China's extended EV trade-in subsidies into 2026 and strong anticipation for December delivery figures and potential Q4 profitability. Bulls are highly optimistic, pointing to significant operational growth, strategic wins like the Onvo L90 police vehicle program, and an expanding battery swap network as indicators of an imminent breakout, while many perceive current price action as manipulation. Conversely, skeptics express frustration over the stock's historical volatility and a lack of sustained gains, questioning its path to consistent profitability in China's competitive EV market.

Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, which engages in the development of novel therapies for the management of central nervous system disorders.

Axsome Therapeutics Inc

Axsome Therapeutics is experiencing significant momentum after the FDA granted Priority Review for its AXS-05 supplemental New Drug Application targeting agitation in Alzheimer's disease, establishing a clearer regulatory path for this key pipeline candidate. This development, coupled with positive feedback on the AXS-12 narcolepsy program, has ignited widespread enthusiasm among investors who are celebrating a 'Grand Slam Home Run' and anticipating substantial future growth. The community is actively discussing the stock's impressive surge to new highs, with many declaring short sellers 'fuked' and expressing strong conviction in Axsome's long-term potential in CNS therapeutics.

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on the popular "Doge" Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. Dogecoin is a Litecoin fork. Introduced as a "joke currency" on 6 December 2013, Dogecoin quickly developed its own online community and reached a capitalization of US$60 million in January 2014. Compared with other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin had a fast initial coin production schedule: 100 billion coins were in circulation by mid-2015, with an additional 5.256 billion coins every year thereafter. As of 30 June 2015, the 100 billionth Dogecoin had been mined.   Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and  Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia. Both wanted to create a fun cryptocurrency that will appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience. Dogecoin is primarily used as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter where users tip each other for creating or sharing good content. The community is very active in organising fundraising activities for deserving causes.  The developers of Dogecoin haven’t made any major changes to the coin since 2015. This means that Dogecoin could get left behind and is why Shibas are leaving Dogecoin to join more advanced platforms like Ethereum. One of Dogecoin strengths is its relaxed and fun-loving community. However, this is also a weakness because other currencies are way more professional.  To purchase Dogecoin, it involves downloading a crypto wallet, setting up a crypto exchange account and then trading away for your desired crypto currency. Once we have set up an account with a DOGE currency exchange and deposited some funds, you are ready to start trading.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin is currently trending amidst sharply divided community sentiment, with many discussing year-end tax loss selling pressures contributing to its recent performance. While loyal holders express unwavering conviction and anticipate a strong rebound, others vocalize frustration over its substantial decline and perceived lack of utility. The conversation frequently touches on potential support levels and long-term prospects within upcoming market cycles.

Seres Therapeutics, Inc. engages in the development of biological drugs through microbiome therapeutics platform. Its product pipeline includes SER-109, SER-287, SER-301, and SER-401. The company was founded by Geoffrey von Maltzahn, David A. Berry, and Noubar B. Afeyan on October 18, 2010 and is headquartered in Cambridge, MA.

Seres Therapeutics Inc

Seres Therapeutics is actively trending as investors intensely anticipate a potential buyout, particularly by Nestl, a sentiment fueled by the company's critical cash runway and ongoing strategic evaluations for its promising SER-155 program. The community is sharply divided; while many long-term holders express deep frustration over past performance and perceived management issues, a significant portion points to strong call option activity and high trading volumes as indicators of an imminent catalytic event or short squeeze.

Verizon’s AI-Powered Overhaul Of Customer Support Draws Retail Praise

Verizon said its AI-led revamp is a key element of its long-term strategy to boost customer satisfaction by improving engagement.

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest is increasingly bullish on the connected TV (CTV) partnership forged between e-commerce giant Amazon (AMZN) and streaming devices company Roku (ROKU) last week.In Ark’s Weekly newsletter, analyst Nicholas Grous said the collaboration should help solve a critical pain point in CTV-fragmentation by allowing marketers to “manage frequency, deduplicate reach, and measure outcomes more accurately than ever before.”The alliance allows an exclusive integration that will give advertisers access to the “largest” authenticated CTV audience,&nbsp;which numbers an estimated 80 million U.S. households. Grous said this would potentially transform the U.S. CTV advertising market and eventually the global CTV advertising&nbsp;market.&nbsp;He said that despite the collapse in linear TV’s reach, it still accounted for $165 billion in global advertising, with $60 billion of that coming from the U.S.Grous said, “The new solution should debut to all Amazon Demand Side Platform (DSP) users in the U.S. by the third quarter, marking a major leap forward in data-driven TV advertising.”Amazon DSP is a programmatic ad tool that allows advertisers to purchase ad space across the internet, including Amazon's own websites and apps, as well as third-party publisher sites.The analyst noted that early tests of the partnership delivered impressive results, adding that the improved identity and cross-device targeting&nbsp;have helped brands achieve three times more value from their ad spend without increasing their budgets.He added that it has also helped reduce repeated, often annoying ads by about 27%.&nbsp;Wall Street analysts also expressed optimism regarding the deal. Last week, Citi upped its price target for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ROKU">Roku stock</a> to $84 from $68 but maintained a ‘Neutral rating,’ The Fly reported. The price target hike came on the back of the Amazon partnership.&nbsp;The firm said the alliance improves Roku's competitive positioning in the CTV space and gives "incremental confidence" in the company's growth trajectory. It also raised its estimates for Roku, factoring in the new partnership.However, Citi believed the benefits of the tie-up had already been priced into the shares.Loop Capital upgraded Roku to ‘Hold’ from ‘Buy’ and raised the price target for the&nbsp;stock to $100 from $80, premised on its view that the Amazon partnership would begin to positively impact the company’s financial results starting next year.BofA also upped its price target for the stock to $100 from $85.Roku is the fourth biggest holding of Ark’s flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK), accounting for about 7.26% weighting in terms of value.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Roku has deteriorated to ‘bearish’ by late Monday from ‘neutral’ a week ago, with the message volume tapering off to ‘normal.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:619/53;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_06_23_at_10_03_47_PM_png_dd850f6d8f.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-06-23 at 10.03.47 PM.png" width="619" height="53"><figcaption>ROKU sentiment and message volume as of 10:04 p.m., June 23 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Roku stock ended Monday’s session down 0.11% at $80.90, although it is up about 9% year-to-date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
