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.

Ripple

XRP is trending amidst overall crypto market volatility and the launch of new ETFs, sparking debates on their potential impact. Community discussions revolve around whether XRP can decouple from Bitcoin's influence and the significance of upcoming ISO20022 compliance. Some traders express frustration with price stagnation, while others remain optimistic about long-term utility and institutional adoption.

Small-Cap Wins in Q3: Top-Performing ETFs in Focus 

Small caps staged a comeback in Q3, with ETFs like FESM, RZV, FYX, VTWV, JSML, IWO topping gains. While there are certain tariff risks, the Fed's rate cut potential is a plus. 

An analyst preferred to remain on the sidelines of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) as the risk-reward ratio remained balanced.&nbsp;Texas Capital analyst Eric Wold initiated coverage of AMC with a ‘Hold’ rating and a $3 price target, implying over 12% downside from current levels.&nbsp;Wold said the movie-theater chain, helmed by CEO Adam Aron, is well-positioned to benefit from improving theatrical attendance and box office revenues in 2025 and 2026.Earlier this week, AMC announced a record Memorial Day holiday weekend performance in terms of both admissions and food and beverage revenue, driven&nbsp;by the release of big-ticket films such as Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning” and Disney’s live-action “Lilo &amp; Stitch”.Aron commented on the performance: “Finally, it would appear that our industry has turned a corner.”“A record-setting Memorial Day holiday is yet another sign of the continued strength and relevance of moviegoing in 2025.”The executive also sounded upbeat about the outlook. “With many more potentially huge movies coming in June all the way through the end of 2025, and beyond that deeply into 2026 as well, we firmly expect to be enjoying a robust theatrical box office as we look ahead,” he said.Texas Capital’s caution stems from concerns about AMC’s debt levels.The firm’s analysts see cash flow headwinds due to the company’s elevated debt and major maturities scheduled for the coming years. Higher interest expense is also likely weighing down on the stock’s valuation.AMC is saddled with a heavy debt pile, with total liabilities standing at $8.8 billion at the end of the March quarter, as opposed to the cash balance of $378.7 million.&nbsp;Following the March quarter results, Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amc-got-a-difficult-quarter-out-of-the-way-now-cash-is-the-focus-444f03ca">said</a> AMC has $43 million in debt due in 2025, with the maturing payments ballooning to $173 million in 2026 and $526&nbsp;million in 2027.Although Aron assured investors there wouldn’t be any further dilution after the 50-million-stock offering announced in January, Reese said, “It will likely seek shareholder approval to issue more shares in 2025 while renegotiating debt maturities and terms to provide liquidity.”On Stocktwits, retail investors were ‘bullish’ (73/100) on&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AMC">AMC stock</a> by early Friday, with the message volume at ‘extremely high’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:619/51;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_05_30_at_5_04_01_AM_png_576e9b45b1.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-30 at 5.04.01 AM.png" width="619" height="51"><figcaption>AMC sentiment and messagre volume as of 5:05 a.m. ET, May 30 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Sharing a “inverse head-and-shoulders chart pattern,’ a watcher said they are bullish on the AMC stock.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/themojitobull/message/616269174</stembedurl>Another watcher goaded “fellow” apes to act to bail out each other.

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) announced discounted ticket pricing on Monday for its Stubs members as the struggling movie theater chain strives to capitalize on the recent resurgence in theater footfall.&nbsp;The Leawood, Kansas-based movie theater chain's new pricing initiative, dubbed '50% off Wednesdays,' will allow its Stubs members to watch the latest releases on the big screen&nbsp;at half the normal adult-evening ticket price each Wednesday.The select discounted pricing scheme will be in effect in the U.S. beginning on July 9. AMC clarified that premium charges for Imax, Dolby Cinema, and other premium large-format (PLF) screens, and online ticketing fees will still apply, and the discount will be on the base ticket price.The latest offer comes on top of the significant discounts for AMC Stubs members on Tuesdays.The Stubs membership is available to moviegoers in four tiers: "Insider," which is a free tier, "Premiere GO," "Premiere," and "A-List."AMC said, "While certain movies and holiday time periods may be excluded from the "50% Off Wednesdays" program, it is envisioned that if successful, this new AMC pricing initiative will be almost universally available at all AMC Theatres in the United States going forward."CEO Adam Aron said the decision to proceed with the new program was made due to the box office boom in April and May, adding that the remainder of 2025 appears poised to continue the upward trend.AMC reported a dip in its first-quarter revenue and a wider loss last week. Aron stated that "industrywide domestic box office in Q1 was, in our view, a distorting anomaly."Theater chains have seen a bounce back in attendance after the COVID-19 shutdowns and the anemic recovery following the pandemic.AMC must also contend with fundamental woes, given profitability and financial health worries. Notwithstanding the headwinds, the stock was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the meme mania, which peaked in 2021.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward AMC stock was 'bullish' (62/100) by late Monday, with the buoyant mood accompanied by 'high' message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:620/56;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_05_13_at_1_23_10_AM_png_a5f406f624.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-13 at 1.23.10 AM.png" width="620" height="56"><figcaption>AMC sentiment and message volume as of 1:24 a.m. ET, May 13 | Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A watcher said the discounted pricing is "bullish" news as it would translate to more revenue due to increased AMC Stubs members.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Critter94/message/614377463</stembedurl>Another user sees meme stocks AMC and GameStop (GME) running yet again, as the market will likely peak in June-July.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Shawtheturtle/message/614386473</stembedurl>AMC stock, which ended Monday's session little changed at $27.30, rose 0.73% in the after-hours session.

However, the firm believes the company needs to do more financial engineering. Due to a healthy box office recovery, it expects further improvements in the coming two years.&nbsp;Roth MKM sees AMC’s free cash flow continuing to remain negative in 2025, potentially necessitating additional equity raises.&nbsp;Cinemark’s report released last week showed that the company reversed to a profit in the fourth quarter, but the earnings per share (EPS) missed the consensus estimate. Revenue climbed 27.5% year over year (YoY) to $814.3 million.&nbsp;Sean Gamble, the CEO of the Plano, Texas-based theater chain, attributed the strong topline performance to better-than-expected industry performance.&nbsp;Cinemark also reinstated its annual cash dividend, which it suspended in 2020.The optimism toward AMC is due to its meme stock potential and the retail buzz.

AMC Vs. Cinemark: Retail Picks Potential Winner Among Movie Theater Chain Stocks

AMC and Cinemark reported record revenues for the fourth quarter, fueled by moviegoers’ return to theaters in droves.

Movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) is scheduled to release its fiscal year 2024 fourth-quarter results after the&nbsp;closing bell on TuesdayThe Finchat-compiled consensus estimate calls for a narrower loss of $0.16 per share and revenue of $1.30 billion, compared to the year-ago loss of $0.54 per share and revenue of $1.10 billion.The estimated year-over-year revenue (YoY) growth of 17.3% marks an acceleration from the third quarter’s 11.5% growth.Last week, rival Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (CNK) reported record fourth-quarter revenue and a return to profit, citing better-than-expected industry performance. It also reinstated its annual cash dividend, which was suspended in April 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the bottom-line miss spooked investors, sending its shares lower.Earlier this month, Roth MKM&nbsp; analyst Eric Handler upgraded AMC stock to ‘Neutral’ from ‘Sell’ but trimmed the price target to $3.25 from $4. The analyst said AMC shares could be at or near their bottom due to several positive events.&nbsp;Handler noted that the box office was entering a two-year content cycle. He added that AMC’s operating cash flow will likely turn positive in 2025 and that the company continues to reduce debt and extend debt maturities.According to the analyst, AMC’s risk-reward seems more balanced than in the last five years.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, sentiment toward AMC stock stayed 'bullish' (59/100), but the message volume remained at a ‘neutral’ level.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:632/135;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/amc_sentiment_6a275d206c.png" alt="amc-sentiment.png" width="632" height="135"><figcaption>AMC sentiment and message volume February 25, as of 11:39 ET | Source:&nbsp;Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A bullish watcher said the stock could scale the $5-barrier after the quarterly earnings release.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/mgnn23/message/605647069</stembedurl>Another watcher expressed confidence in the long-term prospects of the stock.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Marcus2105/message/605639351</stembedurl>AMC is among the stocks that rallied hard during the meme frenzy's peak in 2021.

AMC Entertainment Stock Slides Ahead Of Q4 Print Amid Macro Concerns But Retail Gears For Hit Performance

AMC is among the stocks that rallied hard during the meme frenzy's peak in 2021, hitting as high as $726.20  (on a reverse split-adjusted basis)

Shares of Intuitive Machines, Inc. (LUNR) surged over 38% on Wednesday, marking their biggest one-day gain since February, following a significant <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news/markets/equity/lunr-stock-skyrockets-52-percent-after-nasa-contract-win/c7COHUJR58">contract win from NASA</a>. A Wall Street analyst now sees more than a 50% upside to the stock from current levels.The aerospace start-up, focused on lunar commercialization, secured an initial $500 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for NASA’s Near Space Network (NSN) Services program, a deal that could eventually balloon to $4.8 billion.In light of this news, B. Riley raised its price target for Intuitive Machines from $8 to $12, maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating.The brokerage pointed out that while it anticipated multiple awardees for the initial contract, NASA’s decision to sole-source the deal to Intuitive underscores the company’s pivotal role in the agency’s lunar endeavors.This exclusive win, B. Riley says, not only cements Intuitive Machines as the backbone of lunar data transmission but also “de-risks the investment thesis that Intuitive is quickly establishing itself as a full-service space exploration company on the cusp of layering in hundreds of millions of dollars of high-margin services revenue.”Benchmark’s Josh Sullivan echoed similar confidence in Intuitive Machines, highlighting the company’s central role in NASA’s lunar strategy.
