BitGo Files to Go Public as Crypto Market Surges Past $4 Trillion
The filing, submitted just days after the market cap milestone, positions the Palo Alto, California-based company to join a growing list of digital asset firms heading to public markets. The demand is clear: Investors have been piling into crypto-related stocks in recent months, looking to capitalize on the sector's renewed momentum.
Founded in 2013, BitGo secures digital assets for institutional clients including exchanges, banks and investment firms. It's widely regarded as one of the largest crypto custodians in the U.S. While not as visible to everyday investors as trading platforms, BitGo's role as a behind-the-scenes vault has grown more critical as financial institutions become more active in the industry.
This year's rally in crypto asset prices — and progress toward regulatory frameworks in Washington — has spurred a wave of IPO activity. Stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) and trading platform eToro (ETOR) both went public recently and saw significant stock price appreciation. Circle's shares have soared more than 630% since their listing, fueled by institutional adoption of its USDC stablecoin.
Other firms are rushing to follow. Last week, crypto asset manager Grayscale said it had filed for an IPO. Crypto exchange Gemini made a similar move. Bullish exchange, a sister company to CoinDesk, on Friday announced plans to go public in the U.S. The companies are betting that Wall Street's appetite for digital assets will continue even after the initial excitement fades.
BitGo's potential listing would give investors another pure-play crypto stock at a time when exposure to the industry has become a popular allocation. For now, no timeline or valuation has been announced.
The company raised $100 million in August 2023 at a $1.75 billion valuation.Sign in to access your portfolio

Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL): 'This Stock Should Be Up Much More,' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Cramer regularly discussed tech mega-cap Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) ahead of its earnings. The firm's shares have reversed course in July and are up by 1.9% year-to-date, primarily due to July's 9.9% gain. Before the report, Cramer was explicit in sharing that he regretted selling Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s stock. This time, he discussed the firm's businesses and shared that the stock should be higher after the earnings: [GOOGL]'[On earnings report] Yeah, look cloud was important. I think the big focus is frankly, uh, that paid clicks picked up 4%. I mean I was thinking paid clips might be down, I was worried that I felt that this was the beginning of the erosion and the cannibalization versus Gemini. That was completely wrong. YouTube up 200 million. Really, really fantastic. . . .Look the story here is this that the more chips that they get, better they're doing. They have so much demand I was quite surprised. 20 New Technology Trends for 2024 'This stock should be up much more than that. While we acknowledge the potential of GOOGL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Broadcom is no longer the 'poor man's Nvidia' in the AI race
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be a key theme of Big Tech earnings, as Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) kicked off "Magnificent Seven" earnings with very high additional AI capital expenditure (CapEx), a positive sign for AI chipmakers. Nancy Tengler, CEO and chief investment officer of Laffer Tengler Investments, and Stacy Rasgon, managing director and senior analyst at Bernstein, share their thoughts on two major AI chip players: Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO). To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. I think you guys are on the same page when it comes to Nvidia. You've got a buy equivalent rating on it, Stacey. Nancy likes that one. Let's talk about Broadcom for a minute because Nancy, this is one that you've liked for a while. Um, do you still like it? What are you going to be looking for from Broadcom, Nancy, going forward? Yeah, we do, Julie. I mean, it's our largest holding across all of our large cap equity strategies, member of our 12 best, our five for 25. I think, uh, and it's outperformed Nvidia pretty handily over the last year, almost double the returns for Nvidia on a trailing one year. We've always called it the poor man's Nvidia. I think we're going to have to come up with a new name. But one of the things that we're going to be paying attention to is, of course, um, the AI revenues. We we've we've seen those compound at 60 plus percent. They've announced new partnerships. We want to hear more about that. Um, it seems that the rest of the business, the rest of the chip business may have bottomed. We'd like to hear some some information and and confirmation about that. And then I just think, you know, it's just going to be about the future guidance. And Hock Tan has demonstrated he can acquire companies, make them accretive quickly. We bought the stock when, uh, it sold off on the computer associates that used to be the name of the company they acquired. Wall Street didn't like it. They turned it around, made it a very positive acquisition. So we we'll be listening for that, too. Are there any acquisitions they're they're planning to make? And I certainly hope one of them is not Intel. Yeah, that would be something. Uh, Stacey, um, along with Nvidia, is Broadcom sort of, are those the sort of must-owns in the chip space? Yeah, I frankly, in in chips, it hasn't been great outside of AI, right? I mean, AI's been super strong. The analog, more diversified guys, like the people who were playing those on cyclical recovery, some of those prints so far this earning season have not not been so great. There's worries about pull forward and everything else. Again, you got companies like Intel which which frankly are a basket case. I mean, if it wasn't for AI, this space would not be doing very well. So I I do like the AI names. We cover Nvidia and Broadcom. I like them both. Um, Broadcom is is just more expensive than it used to be. That's the only only, you know, it was Right. I guess hence Nancy's comment that they're going to have to rename it from the poor man's video. Yeah, and look, you know, you got to remember Broadcom like not all that long ago was like 16 times earnings, like now it's like the multiple's like like doubled, right? Um, they are showing a lot of AI upside. A lot of that comes next year, but they they're clearly, I mean even the last earnings call a couple of months ago, they're clearly calling for upside in their AI revenues next year on more inference demand. They're a massive player on AI networking, right? So there's there there's a a big play there. And and and Nancy, I think, is right, they have the core semi business which admittedly has been lousy. They're not the only ones. Everybody in though in those kinds of markets has has been lousy. It it doesn't look like getting any worse at least. I we can we can argue about when it's going to start getting better. I don't know yet, but at least it isn't getting worse. Um, you know, if you're looking in in into the near term, I mean you could argue, again, we we like both stocks. Nvidia is cheaper. And you know, you know, they just they just got their China licenses, um, reinstated, so there's probably more upside to their AI numbers this year for Nvidia versus Broadcom. I think the Broadcom AI upside comes next year and Broadcom's a little more expensive. Um, and then there's a whole ASIC versus, you know, GPU debate. But I I think you can own them both. Like I I I like them both. And again, AI is the only thing in semis right now that fundamentally is really working.

5 Reasons to Buy Nvidia Stock Like There's No Tomorrow
Key Points AI spending continues to grow robustly, creating greater demand for Nvidia's GPUs. Nvidia continues to dominate the AI chip market. New markets and technological advances present tremendous growth opportunities for Nvidia. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Why should you not invest in Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) right now? You'd definitely be late to the party buying shares of a company with a market cap of $4.2 trillion. Other stocks could have better growth prospects. Nvidia is also expensive, with a forward earnings multiple of over 38. I'm not going to focus on the bear case for Nvidia, though. The bull case looks even more compelling. Here are five reasons to buy Nvidia stock like there's no tomorrow. 1. AI spending is growing Any concerns that spending on artificial intelligence (AI) by cloud service providers and other customers would slow have evaporated. Alphabet gave more proof in its second-quarter update. The company raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance by $10 billion. This increase is due to Google Cloud investing in servers and data centers to meet rapidly growing demand. We haven't heard Amazon's and Microsoft's quarterly updates yet. However, I'd be surprised if their stories aren't similar to Google's. And when these cloud titans are investing more in servers and data centers, you can bet that a lot of the money will go to buy chips from Nvidia. 2. Continued GPU dominance There's a simple reason why customers are still turning to Nvidia: Its graphics processing units (GPUs) continue to dominate the AI market. Even with Google developing its tensor processing units (TPUs) and Amazon deploying its Inferentia and Trainium chips, Nvidia's seat on the throne remains secure. Blackwell, Nvidia's newest GPU architecture, has delivered the fastest commercial ramp-up in the company's history. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Blackwell GPUs generated almost 70% of Nvidia's data center compute revenue. Keep in mind that these chips began shipping in significant volumes just earlier this year. 3. The CUDA moat Can Nvidia sustain its grip on the AI chip market? It seems likely, thanks to what some refer to as the company's "CUDA moat." CUDA (which stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture) is Nvidia's proprietary platform that allows programmers to use its GPUs. This architecture has been around for years, with millions of programmers using it. There's also an extensive library of code that's optimized for Nvidia's GPUs. The bottom line is that Nvidia's competitive advantage in AI chips probably won't disappear as long as the CUDA ecosystem remains strong. 4. Expanding into new markets Nvidia has a successful track record of expanding into new markets. The company started out making chips for gaming systems before recognizing that its GPUs were ideal for powering AI models. It continues to move into new markets. For example, Nvidia's Omniverse platform, which enables the creation of 3D simulations and digital twins, is already used by multiple major corporations. I suspect it could be a bigger growth driver in the future than meets the eye. The company's Drive platform should also enable it to profit as autonomous vehicles become more widely adopted. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently told shareholders that robotics represents the company's largest opportunity after AI. And while Huang seemed to pour cold water on expectations for quantum computing earlier this year, he stated at a conference in June that the technology "is reaching an inflection point." Unsurprisingly, Nvidia is investing heavily in quantum computing. 5. Tomorrow will be more exciting than today Perhaps the most important reason to buy Nvidia stock like there's no tomorrow is that there will be a tomorrow -- and it will almost certainly be more exciting than today. The advancement of AI over the next few years, including the advent of AI agents and potentially artificial general intelligence (AGI), could turbocharge the demand for Nvidia's GPUs. So could the proliferation of humanoid robots. Huang told analysts on Nvidia's Q1 earnings call, "The age of AI is here. From AI infrastructures, inference at scale, sovereign AI, enterprise AI, and industrial AI, Nvidia Corporation is ready." I think he was right. Do the experts think Nvidia is a buy right now?
