Opendoor is surging again after July's meme-like rally. Here's why.
Opendoor, the company that kicked off the July meme stock rally, is jumping again this month. Shares rose as much as 25% on Thursday, extending a streak of gains in recent days. News of a stake taken by a prominent investor and more hype from hedge funder Eric Jackon are boosting shares. The move: Opendoor Technologies jumped as much as 25% on Thursday to $3.03 per share. The stock, which soared earlier this summer and kicked off a broader rally in a handful of new meme stocks, is up 84% year-to-date. The chart: Why: The stock embarked on a stellar run in early July and then petered out toward the end of the month. Thursday's rally is an extension of a fresh winning streak that started in recent weeks, with the stock up by about 60% in five days. A few things seem to be driving the latest gains. On August 12, well known investor and tech entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano shared that he had purchased shares of Opendoor, citing bullishness among the retail crowd as a reason for his optimism. "I believe retail investors are a powerful force in financial markets. They can help a company grow, generate new ideas, and bring valuable attention to a narrative," he wrote in a post on X. Meanwhile, Eric Jackson, the hedge fund manager who launched the rally by posting his own bullish thesis on Opendoor stock in early July, has been taking a more activist approach to the stock. In recent days, he's criticized CEO Carrie Wheeler. In an interview this week, Jackson said he'd be open to joining the board of Opendoor to push for change in the company. Jackson's continued bullishness and activist stance have reinvigorated discussions of the stock among traders on social media. According to data from sentiment tracker Ape Wisdom, mentions of the company were up 234% across Reddit's investing forums in the last 24 hours. What it means: While the July rally proved fleeting, Opendoor stock remains popular among retail traders, and with fresh backing from Jackson, expect the hype to stay elevated. Part of the excitement stems from Jackson's successful call on Carvana. In 2023, he made a bullish call on the online used car dealer, which at the time was trading below $5 a share. Today, the stock is above $340. "I'm in this for the long run," he told Business Insider last month, regarding his view of Opendoor. "I'm not here to pump up a stock and jump out of it."

Bitcoin to $200,000? Here's what will drive the rally to another record price
A version of this article appeared in our The Roundup newsletter on August 15. Sign up here. Hi! Eric here. Bitcoin's got everything going for it right now. The top cryptocurrency broke another record on Thursday and analysts are already anticipating that it won't be long until it hits another all-time high. Researchers at wealth management firm Bernstein, crypto index fund manager Bitwise, and UK bank Standard Chartered have all predicted that the price will hit $200,000 before the end of the year. Arthur Hayes, a seasoned trader and crypto exchange BitMEX founder, has predicted that Bitcoin will rise as high as $250,000 this year. There's no shortage of bullish signals to support that optimism. Lawmakers in the US are rushing to introduce crypto regulations, exchange-traded funds are scooping up cryptocurrencies, and the Federal Reserve looks all but certain to cut interest rates in September. At the same time, institutions are buying into blockchain-based businesses like never before, and venture capital firms are backing crypto projects. Elsewhere, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that while the government won't buy more Bitcoin, it won't sell any that it already holds — thus reducing the risk of coins hitting the market and subduing the price. It's not just Bitcoin that has benefitted: The entire crypto market's value has surged 20% to be worth over $4 trillion since the start of the year. This week saw Ethereum come within spitting distance of breaking its 2021 record, Bullish raise $1 billion during its initial public offering, and the memecoin market regain some lost ground. It's not just crypto markets that have been in a celebratory mood of late. Both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 notched new record closes this week. One interpretation of that is that markets are pretty much shrugging off the chaos caused by Donald Trump's tariffs. Essentially, the idea is that every time you get a really spicy policy announcement coming out of the White House, traders are betting that 'Trump always chickens out' — resulting in the so-called TACO trade, a name popularised by a Financial Times column. And if market players are too comfortable, then they may end up being surprised when the president doesn't back down, which could unleash a wave of volatility. Depending on who you're asking, that could either be good or bad for Bitcoin.

XRP record caps winning week for crypto
A version of this article appeared in our The Roundup newsletter on July 18. Sign up here. Hi! Eric here. XRP just broke its 2018 record by surging to $3.66 after quietly becoming the third biggest cryptocurrency in the world earlier in the week. So why did XRP just explode? That's a bit trickier to say. Ripple, the company whose founders developed the cryptocurrency and that still plays an instrumental role in its utility, hasn't broken any big news this week — apart from founder Chris Larsen cashing out $26 million worth of XRP. Its long-running legal dispute with the Securities and Exchange Commission remains unresolved, and the agency has disappointed those who bet that it would approve a spot XRP exchange-traded fund by summer. Sure, there has been earlier momentum with institutional investors pouring into the asset and the occasional partnership announcement from Ripple. Otherwise, it has been crickets. Not that there's been an absence of broader bullish market signals. After all, XRP's record price caps an eye-watering rally within the broader crypto industry which saw the market surpass the $4 trillion value mark for the first time ever on Friday. The week kicked off with Bitcoin breaking another all-time high at $123,000, with market watchers telling us that altcoins like Ethereum and Solana will soon follow. On Thursday, US lawmakers also voted through three landmark crypto bills. Of them, the Genius Act is due to hit President Donald Trump's desk on Friday, despite some wobbles earlier in the week and against the protests of the Democratic leadership. Zooming out, it's not just crypto that's enjoying tailwinds. Risk-on assets, such as Nvidia and Microsoft, are on a tear, propelling the tech-heavy S&P 500 index to record highs. The stock market gains have been fuelled by investor optimism that coincided slightly better than expected inflation figures, and Trump putting pressure on Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, to leave office due to his reluctance to cut interest rates. Trump denied having plans to remove him on Thursday. Donald Trump will birth a 'golden age' for Bitcoin at the expense of the dollar Trump is willingly driving down the value of the dollar to the benefit of Bitcoin, argues Wolfgang Münchau in his latest column.
