Most crypto wallets have functioned as a home for buying and selling speculative tokens. Caroline D. Pham, CEO of MoonPay Institutional and former acting chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), thinks they are about to do something far more important for most investors.
"I do think that wallets are going to become the future, where you're going to have almost everything in your wallet," Pham said. "It's going to be your checking account, your savings account, your stablecoin wallet, your tokenized fund wallet. It's going to be your brokerage account."

The first step came Sept. 17, when WisdomTree and MoonPay announced a collaboration to expand U.S. access to WTGXX, the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund, which holds short-term Treasuries.
WisdomTree said it is building an access point for its tokenized funds on MoonPay's technology, which reaches more than 35 million users. MoonPay also plans to use the fund in its stablecoin reserves.

This year has been a volatile one for artificial intelligence (AI) company CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV). Its success largely hinges on demand for all things AI-related, as the company makes money by providing customers access to Nvidia's high-end chips.
Over the past 12 months, however, the stock has declined by 24%, and it's currently trading around $84 -- a far cry from its 52-week high of more than $153. Investors have been growing more concerned about AI stocks as a whole, especially ones like CoreWeave that continue to struggle with profitability.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
But CoreWeave's CEO recently gave investors some good news that could boost the stock heading into the latter part of the year: there continues to be sky-high demand.

BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU) reported a quarter that exposed the difference between producing more Bitcoin and making more money from it. Second-quarter revenue fell 62.9% year over year to $42.8 million, while a $20.5 million net loss replaced a $47.1 million profit. Yet average hashrate allocated to self-mining rose 47%, helping lift self-mined production 34% to 192 Bitcoin. Shares closed 11% lower at $1.29 on August 17 after the results. For BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU), the question is whether shifting more computing power toward self-mining creates operating leverage or simply increases its exposure to Bitcoin prices and network difficulty.
The largest hole was cloud mining, historically the company's biggest revenue source. Cloud Mining Solutions revenue plunged 73.6% to $24.9 million. BitFuFu attributed the decline to lower selling prices amid falling Bitcoin prices, weaker market sentiment, and reduced order volumes from existing customers. The company reported net dollar retention of 24.1%, calculated as second-quarter 2026 recurring revenue divided by total second-quarter 2025 Cloud Mining revenue. Equipment sales also fell to zero from $5.2 million. The cloud-mining decline overwhelmed the benefit of BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU) allocating more hashrate to self-mining.
Self-mining was hardly immune. Revenue declined to $14.0 million from $14.8 million even as production increased. BitFuFu attributed the decline to the combined effect of a 27.5% drop in the average Bitcoin price to $71,600 and higher network difficulty, partially offset by the increased self-mining allocation. Network difficulty reduced daily Bitcoin earned per terahash by 9.7%. Cost of revenue reached $43.7 million, exceeding total revenue. A $16.9 million net fair-value loss on digital ***** ets and digital-asset receivables or payables significantly affected company-defined adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which was negative $18.4 million. BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU) therefore suffered from both weaker operating economics and an adverse accounting swing.
BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU) produced more Bitcoin despite the harsher environment, deployed next-generation S21 XP miners, and restored total managed hashrate to approximately 20 EH/s by mid-August from 15.3 EH/s at quarter-end. Hosting and other revenue also rose to $3.9 million from $1.1 million. If Bitcoin prices recover while difficulty and power costs become more favorable, the larger self-mining allocation could turn higher production into a much stronger revenue and earnings response.

Micron Technology's (MU) rally has cooled as the stock has pulled back 9.6% from its recent high, reflecting profit-taking and growing investor concerns. After a strong run over the past year, investors have locked in gains, while worries about intensifying competition and softer memory-chip pricing in the coming quarters have added to selling pressure.
While Micron stock has receded, its growth isn't slowing. Demand for DRAM and NAND memory remains strong, driven by continued investment in AI infrastructure and rising memory requirements across consumer products such as PCs, smartphones, automobiles, and robotics. These end markets are creating a broad-based demand environment for Micron's products.

E-commerce platform Wayfair Inc (NYSE:W) enjoyed a massive 30% post-earnings bull gap last week. The stock has managed to hold on to most of those gains, with support emerging at the $104 level, and an unwinding of pessimism amongst options traders could help push it even higher.
W sports a 50-day put/call volume ratio of 1.71 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) that stands higher than 99% of readings from the past year.
There have been three instances in the last three years that the equity's 50-day buy-to-open put/call ratio crossed over 1.0 and moved into the 90th percentile. Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative ****** yst Rocky White, Wayfair was higher one month later 100% of the time after these signals with an average 11.1% return. From its current perch, this would put the stock back near $587.
Plus, short interest represents 14.2% of the stock's available float. It would take shorts nearly four days to cover their bets, at W's average pace of trading.

Aug 11 (Reuters) - Intel raised $20 billion from an upsized share offering on Tuesday, as it looks to fund the costly build-out of its chip contract manufacturing business by cashing in on a stock surge fueled by its turnaround efforts.
Once a dominant force in the global chip industry, Intel is investing heavily in new facilities and advanced packaging capabilities as it seeks to challenge industry leaders such as TSMC in contract chip manufacturing.
Intel priced the offering at $95 per share, which was a discount of 2.6% from the previous close. The chipmaker said on Monday it aimed to raise $15 billion through the share sale.
Bloomberg first reported the size of the upsized offering.
