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.

Grubhub will reportedly pay $7.1 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it falsely advertised partnerships with thousands of restaurants.According to a Reuters report, on Tuesday, the restaurants filed a preliminary settlement in the federal court in Chicago. The report added that the settlement requires a judge’s approval.Reuters noted that the plaintiffs’ lawyers said in a court filing that the settlement class includes about 387,000 businesses. The filing stated that the online food delivery platform Grubhub advertised without the consent of these businesses that they participated in its delivery services.The report said that Grubhub listed these restaurants on its website and affiliated platforms without formal agreements, prompting allegations that the company damaged the reputation of these businesses. The restaurants claimed this unauthorized inclusion led to consumer confusion and a decline in sales.Grubhub had agreed to pay $25 million last year to settle another lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission and Illinois' attorney general, which claimed that the online food delivery firm listed restaurants without their consent. The lawsuit alleged that the company misled customers about order fees and also duped drivers about pay.Reuters said Grubhub has denied any wrongdoing in settling both cases. The report, citing a statement from Grubhub, noted the claims in the lawsuit "have not been part of our business model for some time." According to the company, the lawsuit settlement will allow Grubhub to focus on its business operations.The report noted that the settlement applies to the period from early 2019 through April 2024. Eligible class members will receive an initial payment of $50, with additional compensation calculated based on how long their business appeared on Grubhub and its affiliated platforms, Reuters said.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/travis-kelce-joins-american-eagle-after-sydney-sweeney/chsUdGWRdld">Travis Kelce Joins American Eagle After Sydney Sweeney, Retail Investors Call It ‘Solid Culture Play’</a>

Wonder, the parent company of Grubhub, is reportedly in talks with lenders to raise between $400 million and $500 million to refinance the food delivery platform’s outstanding debt.According to a report by Bloomberg, the company has approached private credit firms and is exploring financing terms that would include a payment-in-kind (PIK) feature.&nbsp;It added that the structure would allow Wonder to defer a portion of its interest payments until the debt matures, reducing immediate cash obligations. The proposed financing would carry an interest rate of around 13%, including the PIK component.The report noted that private credit lenders usually offer PIK structures to fast-growing technology companies that have predictable revenue, particularly those still investing heavily in customer acquisition and product development.The report also noted that private credit lenders have considered financing proposals for Grubhub in the past, but a deal was never completed.Bloomberg data showed that Grubhub currently has $500 million of notes outstanding, originally issued in 2019 with a 5.5% coupon. The maturity date for these notes is July 2027.Wonder acquired Grubhub in 2023 from Just Eat Takeaway.com for approximately $650 million, comprising $150 million in cash and the assumption of $500 million in debt. The company has since been working to reposition Grubhub within the increasingly competitive food delivery sector.Recently, food delivery has faced regulatory pressure, particularly in New York City, where a cap on fees that platforms can charge restaurants has tightened profit margins.&nbsp;Grubhub,&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/DASH">DoorDash (DASH)</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/UBER">Uber Technologies (UBER)</a> recently agreed to settle a lawsuit over the feed cap in exchange for proposed changes to the law, which the city is expected to introduce later this year.&nbsp;Bloomberg said that Wonder declined to comment on the report.The <a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLY">Consumer Discretionary Sector Select SPDR Fund (XLY)</a> moved 0.6% higher in midday trade on Friday.

Wine giant Vinarchy, formed after the recent merger of Accolade and Pernod Ricard's Australian and New Zealand operations, is setting its sights on Canada and Latin America to promote Australian wines, as shifting U.S. trade policies unsettle global industry sales.In an interview with the Financial Times, executive chair Ben Clarke said the company's brands, such as Jacob's Creek, are gaining traction in Canada, after a ban on U.S. wines in reaction to&nbsp;President Donald Trump's policies.Clarke also said its Spanish wine brands would appeal to Latin American customers.The rise of the new challenger and changes to the trade landscape are already weighing on American alcohol producers.In early March, Canada removed all U.S. wine from its liquor stores and restaurants, effectively banning its sale in the country.&nbsp;This action was a retaliatory response to the U.S. tariffs imposed on Canadian goods, particularly aluminum and steel.&nbsp;The ban includes wine, beer, and spirits, making them the only U.S. products completely barred from the Canadian market.In recent months, shares of key U.S. alcohol companies have suffered.Molson Coors Beverage Co. (TAP), Sam Adams brewer Boston Beer Co. (SAM), and Constellation Brands (STZ) shares are down 4.7% to 19.1% year to date.U.S.-listed shares of Belgium's Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) are up 35%, as the company offsets pressures with its strong performance of light and non-alcoholic beverages.Adelaide-based Vinarchy, formed just last month, is owned by a Bain-led consortium and has annual revenues of $1.5 billion and 1,600 employees. It has 11 wineries in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Spain, and&nbsp;The FT <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/a78dc2e8-bde3-42f3-b487-08e43b1c4564">report</a> also noted that Australian wine accounted for 16% of volumes in Canada, similar to the U.S. and South Africa, while exports to China rose 41% in March.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

In early March, Canada removed all U.S. wine from its liquor stores and restaurants, effectively banning its sale in the country.

Bank of America has warned that most U.S. restaurants and fast-food chains will likely fall short of the first-quarter earnings estimates currently projected by Wall Street analysts.The move follows sweeping U.S. tariffs introduced this month, which are expected to drive up prices and dampen demand across various sectors, particularly discretionary spending areas such as dining out.In a recent note, BofA Securities analyst Sara Senatore said dining activity recovered slightly in March but was likely not enough to boost sales for the entire quarter, according to a Seeking Alpha report.BofA's credit and debit card data shows a month-over-month pickup in restaurant spending across all segments — except fine dining — with overall growth improving to flat (0.0%) in March from a 4% decline in February.Spending at restaurant chains also saw a smaller drop, easing to -4.2% from -7.5% the previous month. The bank attributes the rebound to more favorable weather and a calendar shift that negatively impacted February.Despite the improvement, the analyst said Q1 consensus estimates for most restaurants remain elevated.Senatore added that the impact of recent policy changes and uncertainty, including changes in consumer sentiment, traffic, and the cost of goods, will fully emerge this month.According to The Fly, BofA adjusted lower price targets on several chains, including McDonald's (MCD), Restaurant Brands (QSR), Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), Starbucks (SBUX), Domino's Pizza (DPZ), and Papa John's (PZZA).For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
