Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and more crypto stocks popping today
Leading cryptocurrencies gained, with some of the biggest crypto stocks following suit as the broader market rose on Monday after reports that the Trump administration may narrow the scope of its impending April 2 tariffs.
Bitcoin was up 2.7%to $88,418.31, Ether was up about 4.2% to $2,088.88, and Ripple's XRP was up more than 1.1% to $2.47 as of around 11:15 a.m. New York time.
Deutsche Bank (DB) Research analyst Marion Laboure told CNBC Monday that crypto's hot-and-cold 2025 is partly linked to unknowns around the Trump administration's planned reserve. There's also 'a lot of momentum these days regarding the tokenization of finance.'
Bernstein analysts said they anticipate growing ties between crypto and traditional finance. 'We see a world where crypto exchanges will offer spot crypto, crypto derivatives, and tokenized equities, while broker platforms will also scale up their crypto services,' they wrote.
Here's a closer look at how some of the top crypto company stocks are faring:
Coinbase (COIN) rose 5% to more than $200 per share. Earlier in March, Rosenblatt analyst Chris Brendler called Coinbase 'the clear blue chip' in crypto, citing its non-trading revenue growth and saying 'the stock will prove more resilient in the next Crypto Winter.' Still, the stock remains down about 22% year-to-date.
MicroStrategy (MSTR) shot up 7.3% after it snapped up about half a billion dollars of Bitcoin, pushing its total supply beyond 500,000 BTC.
Robinhood (HOOD) climbed 9.6%, recouping some of its recent losses. A week ago, the company debuted a prediction markets product within its app.
Hut 8 (HUT) stock rose more than 7.3%. Earlier this month, the cryptomining firm said it secured '592 acres in Louisiana' for a new $2.5 billion, 300MW data center.

European shares start lower after Trump's fresh tariff threats
(Reuters) -European shares opened lower on Monday, after rounding off monthly gains in May, as U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariff plans threatened to rekindle global trade tensions. The continent-wide STOXX 600 was down 0.2% as of 0708 GMT. Late on Friday, Trump said he planned to increase tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50% from 25%, to which the European Union said it was prepared to retaliate. Steel companies in Europe fell, with ArcelorMittal down 1% and conglomerate Thyssenkrupp down 1.1%. The tariffs, which can impact automobiles, weighed on stocks of carmakers, with the sector down 1.2%. Meanwhile, Sanofi agreed to buy U.S.-based Blueprint Medicines Corporation, paying $129 per share, representing an equity value of approximately $9.1 billion. Shares in the French pharma group were slightly lower. This week, the spotlight will be on the European Central Bank, which will announce its interest rate decision on Thursday. Comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and ECB President Christine Lagarde will be on tap, alongside a slew of economic data out of the trade bloc. Sign in to access your portfolio

Oil Advances as OPEC+ Supply Boost Vies With Geopolitical Risk
(Bloomberg) -- Oil advanced as OPEC+ hiked production less than some had feared and geopolitical concerns flared over Ukraine and Iran. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months Brent crude for August rose toward $65 a barrel after losing 2.2% last week, while West Texas Intermediate was above $62. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies agreed on Saturday to add 411,000 barrels a day of supply in July, matching expectations, but defying reports late last week that the group was considering an even bigger volume. Meanwhile, Ukraine struck air bases deep in Russia and Iran criticized a report showing its growing stockpiles of enriched uranium, in escalations that reduce the chance of more supply from the sanctioned OPEC+ members entering the market. Trade frictions also remained in focus, after President Donald Trump said he would be increasing tariffs on steel and aluminum. Monday's move higher comes after a turbulent two months that saw prices tumble to a four-year low in the wake of Trump's tariff wars, before recuperating some of those losses. Crude remains almost 15% lower this year, pressured by the simmering trade conflicts and the abandoning by OPEC+ of its former strategy of defending higher prices by curbing output. OPEC+ officials said the quota boost reflected Saudi Arabia's desire to punish over-producing members such as Kazakhstan and Iraq. Some members — including Russia, Algeria and Oman — had wanted a pause. The group next meets on July 6 to discuss output levels for August. 'Brent should be well supported in the middle of our expected $60-$65 summer range until we get a better understanding of how quickly actual OPEC production is rising,' said Robert Rennie, head of commodity and carbon research at Westpac Banking Corp. in Sydney. 'We may be seeing signs that the pace of increase could slow in the coming months' as some members had wanted a lull in the quota hikes.

China Accuses US Of Violating Trade Pact—Rejects Trump's Allegation
Chinese authorities on Monday accused the U.S. of violating a recent trade pact that both agreed to in Geneva last month, as they dismissed President Donald Trump's allegation about Beijing breaching the agreement, a move that could signal a further escalation in trade tensions between the two countries, which could potentially jeopardize last month's tariff truce. China's Commerce Ministry accused the U.S. of violating a trade deal agreed in Geneva by imposing ... More additional chip restrictions and canceling Chinese student visas. In a press briefing, a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson dismissed Trump's comments accusing China of violating the agreement, saying Beijing has worked 'to strictly implement and actively safeguard the Geneva deal.' The spokesperson noted that China had acted in accordance with the deal to cancel or suspend 'relevant tariffs and non-tariff measures' it had taken as retaliation against the U.S. government's reciprocal tariffs. The spokesperson then accused the U.S. of introducing ' a number of discriminatory restrictive measures against China' after the talks, citing expanded export controls on AI chips and other chip-building technology. The official also criticized the U.S. government's crackdown on Chinese student visas, saying these actions violated the consensus reached between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a phone call on January 17. The spokesperson then warned that if the U.S. continues to take actions that damage China, Beijing will 'take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.' In a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday, Trump said: 'China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' without specifying how it had done so. The president then signalled that the U.S. may retaliate against this alleged non-compliance, saying: 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' In his post, the president claimed his tariffs had put China in 'grave economic danger' and he made a 'FAST DEAL' in Geneva, 'in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation.'
