LitXchange Announces HQ in Rockwall, Texas - Nears $1M Crowdfunding Goal, Goes Viral with Anti-Wall Street Ad Targeting Retail Trade Restrictions
ROCKWALL, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 3, 2025 / LitXchange, the fintech firm creating a new stock & crypto brokerage for retail investors, proudly announces the establishment of its corporate headquarters in Rockwall, Texas as it approaches a major milestone: $1 million raised through its active Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign. The company invites retail traders and everyday investors to become Founding Members and own equity in the platform they're helping to build.
'This isn't another Wall Street brokerage. This is for retail, by retail,' said Marcel Kalinovic, Co-Founder of LitXchange.

While other brokerages are restricting what retail traders can buy, we're building our platform around freedom and transparency. No dark pools. No restrictions. No bullshit. '

Viral Campaign Challenges Wall Street's Goliaths
LitXchange's latest ad campaign titled, 'No Dark Pools. No Restrictions. No Bullshit.' has resonated with frustrated traders across social media. The ad, which calls out the manipulation and centralized control across legacy brokerages, is gaining traction just as platforms like Robinhood, Fidelity (FNF), and others continue to limit trading access to popular retail stocks like GameStop (GME), AMC (AMC), FingerMotion (FNGR), and Genius Group (GNS).
' Retail investors are being silenced and robbed in broad-daylight ,' Kalinovic said. 'Their trades are constantly being restricted and front-run. We will NOT allow that to continue.'
Lockdowns Spark Outrage: Retail Needs This New PlatformRetail trust in major platforms has eroded. Investors remember the 2021 legalized crime against GameStop, AMC, and Silver ETF investors. Over 50 securities were made 'position-close only' by hundreds of brokers. Millions of retail investors lost out on billions of dollars.In 2023, Robinhood forced users to sell key cryptocurrencies including Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Polygon (MATIC) following regulatory pressure. Users were blocked from transferring assets to external wallets, effectively forced to sell at market prices with some reporting significant losses. These forced liquidations echoed earlier issues from 2018-2022, when Robinhood prevented crypto withdrawals entirely, offering only sell-side exits.Meanwhile, the collapse of crypto firms like Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, Bittrex, and most notably, FTX - once considered a darling of crypto, further exposed the dangers of centralized control. As Marcel stated on X:"FTX created BILLIONS of tokenized stocks backed by NOTHING, allowing short sellers to manipulate stock prices when there were no shares available to short, and Bittrex did the same. BlockFi and Celsius lied to retail and froze their withdrawals. Now Robinhood is pushing token-backed securities as if it's good for retail investors. Their #1 revenue source is Payment for Order Flow from the same institutions that benefit from tokenized stocks ."Be a Founding Member. Help Build the Future of Finance.LitXchange isn't just another brokerage app - it's a movement. A mission-driven fintech platform built from the ground up to eliminate market manipulation, restore trust, and elevate retail investors.The company has applied for Nasdaq ticker reservation, and with less than $200,000 remaining in its Regulation CF crowdfunding goal of $1 million, the window is closing to:
This is an extremely rare opportunity to own equity before a public launch, and help rewrite the rules of modern finance to serve we the people and our children, for generations in perpetuity.

Buffett's Berkshire takes $3.8 billion Kraft Heinz write-down
STORY: Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway said it took a more than $3.7 billion write-down on its stake in Kraft Heinz in the second quarter... an acknowledgment that the decade-old investment hasn't worked out. The write-down followed the struggling food company's announcement that it would consider strategic alternatives, which could include a breakup. It's Berkshire's second write-down for Kraft Heinz, following a $3 billion hit in 2019. Buffett acknowledged at the time that Berkshire overpaid in the 2015 merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz, one of his biggest investment missteps. Kraft Heinz has suffered as more shoppers favor healthier and private-label alternatives. Its approximately 200 brands include Oscar Mayer, Kool-Aid, Velveeta and Jell-O. Berkshire also reported a 4% decline in quarterly operating profit as insurance underwriting premiums fell. The conglomerate signaled it remains cautious about market valuations amid uncertainty about tariffs and growth in the broader economy.

Alabama farmer sees new interest within days of Trump's tomato tariff — and says former trade deal ‘never worked' for US
With President Trump's latest tariff announcement, the price of tomatoes could soon be going up in the U.S. On July 14, the Trump Administration announced a 17% tariff on tomatoes imported from Mexico, ending a decades-long trade deal that kept the price of importing tomatoes down in the U.S. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it 'Mexico remains one of our greatest allies, but for far too long our farmers have been crushed by unfair trade practices that undercut pricing on produce like tomatoes,' said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick in the press release. 'That ends today.' And while some Americans may not be in support of additional tariffs levied against America's international trade partners, several U.S. farmers stand in strong support of Trump's latest trade move. 'Been two days now and we've actually had a lot more calls' For decades, U.S. and Mexican tomato operations worked under a trade agreement that allowed for relatively easy importation of Mexican tomatoes into U.S. markets. The deal was meant to protect American tomato farmers, but many believe the old trade agreement didn't do enough. 'There's been loopholes that the Mexican tomato producers have taken advantage of and continue to price dump, or lower the prices below the cost of production here in the United States and in Alabama," Blake Thaxton, executive director of the Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, told WVTM 13 News. Chad Smith of Smith Tomato Farms in St. Clair County, Alabama echoed Thaxton's concerns with the old trade deal with Mexico. 'If they send the tomatoes over and it's supposed to be a set price and they need to move tomatoes, well, they may just give a load of bell peppers for free for them to take the tomatoes. So, it's never really worked,' said Smith. American tomato farmers had long felt as if they were hard-pressed to compete with the imports from Mexico, but several of them now see better times ahead with Trump's latest tariff news. 'It's only been two days now and we've actually had a lot more calls from people who have an interest in doing business," said Smith. 'And the price hasn't even changed.' As for Thaxton, he believes the potential of a sustainable future for U.S. tomato farmers is important. 'Food security is national security, and we need to be able to produce our own food here in the United States,' said Thaxton. Read more: Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can How the new tariff may affect your wallet While some American farmers are hopeful that the tomato tariff will impact their bottom line in a positive way, there's a concern that the changing policy will lead to higher prices at the grocery store. After all, the costs of producing tomatoes are higher in the U.S., thanks in part to American farms paying their workers up to 10 times more per hour than farm workers in Mexico. Thaxton believes the rising tomato costs won't be too dramatic, but other experts appear to be more concerned. In fact, some predict the new tomato tariff could push prices up by 10%. Since American farms face significantly higher production costs than Mexican growers — this includes wages, land, regulation, insurance, property taxes and equipment — these costs may be passed along to American consumers at the grocery store. At this moment, it's tough to predict the exact outcome that the tariff will have on the U.S. tomato market. While it looks like the tariff could help American farmers, it's unclear whether or not it will help American wallets.

Tim Cook reportedly tells employees Apple ‘must' win in AI
Apple CEO Tim Cook held an hourlong all-hands meeting in which he told employees that the company needs to win in AI, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The meeting came after an earnings call in which Cook told investors and analysts that Apple would 'significantly' increase its AI investments. It seems he had a similar message for Apple employees, reportedly telling them, 'Apple must do this. Apple will do this. This is sort of ours to grab.' Despite launching a variety of AI-powered features in the past year under the Apple Intelligence umbrella, the company's promised upgrades to its voice assistant Siri have been significantly delayed. And Cook seemed to acknowledge that the company has fallen behind its competitors. 'We've rarely been first,' he reportedly said. 'There was a PC before the Mac; there was a smartphone before the iPhone; there were many tablets before the iPad; there was an MP3 player before iPod.' But in his telling, that didn't stop Apple from inventing the 'modern' versions of those products.
