Newly added S&P 500 crypto stock hits record high after breakout move
Coinbase (COIN) surged to a new all-time high of $394.01 on Tuesday, rising 15.21% and pushing its market capitalization past the $100 billion mark.
The rally marks a full recovery from its previous peak of $342 set on Nov. 13, 2021. Fueling the breakout are renewed inflows into crypto assets, Bitcoin's climb beyond $123,000, and increased institutional engagement in the digital asset space.
Coinbase (COIN) reached an intraday high of $398.50 and closed the day at $394.01, for a new all-time closing high.
This milestone comes just 2 months after Coinbase was added to the S&P 500 Index in May 2025.
On May 12, it was announced that Coinbase would be added to the S&P 500 index on May 19. This news helped COIN shares soar by 8%, as investors applauded the inclusion of a significant digital asset platform into the benchmark U.S. index.

On June 26, COIN shares reached a new all-time high of $381.35 after the company.
During the same time, the company announced the launch of a substantial new product offering. Investors were excited about Coinbase's new perpetual-style futures contracts, which would become available to U.S.traders.
Traditionally, futures are derivatives that have an expiration date. However, unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts do not expire, allowing investors to maintain continuous exposure to underlying price movements.
Coinbase also shared plans to launch nano Bitcoin (0.01 BTC) and nano Ethereum (0.10 ETH) perpetual futures contracts on July 21, with spot prices and leveraged trading options.
Coinbase has also garnered strong support from some of the biggest names in the crypto industry such as Cathie Wood.

Man worries he'll die young — should he spend $500k to retire early?
Faced with a history of family members dying young, Sarah's husband wants to spend US$500,000 to retire early. She called The Ramsey Show to find out if fear is a good enough reason. Sarah and her husband, 53, are in a strong financial position. Their house is paid off, they've saved millions for retirement and on paper, they're set. But his family history looms large. With his mother dying at 59 and both of his brothers dying at 55, he's starting to wonder if he should clock out of work early, just in case. That's why he's seriously considering spending the money to buy five years of his pension and retire early. The Ramsey Show hosts pushed back on the idea of making a major financial decision based on fear. 'None of us is promised tomorrow,' said Ken Coleman. Don't Miss 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 — and 'anyone' can do it The Canadian economy is showing signs of softening amid Trump's tariffs — protect your wallet with these 6 essential money moves (most of which you can complete in just minutes) I'm almost 50 and don't have enough retirement savings. What should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 solid ways you can catch up Buying a pension to retire early? At the heart of the matter is Sarah's husband's fear of dying young. While she called to ask if they should buy the pension, the Ramsey hosts cautioned against making an emotional decision. 'I would not sacrifice the future here on the altar of the immediate,' said Coleman. 'We have to live in the moment, yes, but also not sacrifice our future based on some emotion that's not rooted in facts.' Jade Warshaw echoed his sentiment. 'I don't like that idea,' she said. 'Something about that doesn't feel right.' As the hosts dug deeper, it became clear the couple doesn't need the extra money from the pension to retire early. They own their home outright and have millions saved for retirement. If they spent US$500,000, they'd receive about US$6,000 per month in retirement income. But given their other assets, they likely don't need it to live comfortably. 'You don't need the money, so I certainly wouldn't buy it,' Warshaw said. 'Now it's up to you guys to decide: what is this US$6,000 a month worth to us?' If it's not worth working for seven more years, he could retire now, without buying the pension. Beyond the numbers, Warshaw encouraged the couple to consider using some of their money to assess and improve his health. Lifestyle changes and preventive care could help improve both his quality of life and longevity. Read more: Here are — and very quickly regret. How many are hurting you? When does it make sense to retire early? Retiring early can be appealing for many reasons. Maybe, like Sarah's husband, you're worried about your health. Maybe you feel burned out or want more time to travel. Whatever the reason, it's important to consider the financial side. If you've spent your working years saving, paid off your house and built a solid nest egg, early retirement might be an option. But if you're still in debt or have minimal savings, this might be the time to buckle down on your financial goals instead. In Sarah's case, her family's strong net worth and paid-off house make early retirement a real possibility. If they had called in with debt or little savings, the advice would've been different. According to a recent Northwestern Mutual survey, Americans believe they'll need US$1.26 million to retire comfortably. Canadians fare similarly, with a BMO survey reporting that they believe they'll need around CA$1.54 million to retire comfortably. Sarah and her husband are already in that ballpark, setting them apart from the average household. And if full retirement doesn't make sense just yet, a gradual approach might. Scaling back to part-time hours — say from 40 to 20 a week — can offer many of the same lifestyle benefits without jeopardizing your financial future. 1.

Tesla, Alphabet highlight earnings rush as market hovers near record highs: What to know this week
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) are both hovering near record highs as escalating tariffs and a growing debate about monetary policy have done little to shake markets. The Nasdaq Composite led the gains last week, rising more than 1.6%. Meanwhile the S&P 500 popped about 0.7% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was just above the flat line. In the week ahead, 112 S&P 500 companies are set to report quarterly results. Reports from Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), Tesla (TSLA), and Chipotle (CMG) will be in focus. Meanwhile, a quiet week of economic data releases will be highlighted by updates on activity in the services and manufacturing sectors as the Federal Reserve enters its blackout period ahead of its July 29-30 policy meeting. Rate debate heats up On Thursday, Fed governor Christopher Waller made his clearest call yet for an interest rate cut in July. During a speech in New York, Waller said the Fed should cut rates in July, adding that the federal funds rate is more than one full percentage point higher than it should be. "With inflation near target and the upside risks to inflation limited, we should not wait until the labor market deteriorates before we cut the policy rate," Waller said. However, recent moves in market pricing have shown investors growing less optimistic about rate cuts. Last week, signs of stickiness in consumer inflation combined with a stronger-than-expected June retail sales report and weekly unemployment filings pushed out interest rate cut bets. As of Friday, markets were pricing in just a 5% chance that the Federal Open Market Committee would cut rates in July, per the CME FedWatch Tool. A month ago, markets had priced in closer to a 13% chance. "We expect the committee to arrive at a consensus to cut rates in September as the hawkish case weakens with the job market loosening further and no signs of tariffs spilling over into a broader inflationary trend," Citi chief US economist Andrew Hollenhorst wrote in a note to clients on Friday. Read more: How the Fed rate decision affects your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, and investments Earnings scorecard Big banks kicked off the second quarter earnings reporting period with a string of better-than-expected results. Netflix (NFLX) followed those up on Thursday night with an estimate-beating report. Both the streaming giant and the large financial banks said that the US consumer continues to hold strong. On an aggregate level, the S&P 500 is now pacing to report earnings growth of 5.6% compared to the same quarter a year ago, per FactSet data. This is above the 4.8% analysts were expecting just last week. Despite the strong reports, some stocks that had seen massive rallies heading into their reports saw a muted stock reaction in the trading session following their reports. For example, Netflix stock fell nearly 5% on Friday despite raising its full-year revenue guidance. Netflix stock had been up nearly 100% over the past year heading into the release. "An overall 'good' set of results and guide were not good enough for elevated expectations, in our view," William Blair analyst Ralph Schackart wrote in a note titled "Good Quarter, but Tough to Surpass High Expectations." With the broader market at record highs, weak stock reaction after solid earnings reports had been a concern among some Wall Street strategists heading into second quarter earnings. "The challenge is valuation: after a 30% rally off the April lows, the market is trading at 24.7 [trailing twelve-month] earnings, leaving strong results, as Financials demonstrated to start the season, just enough to maintain market altitude while slight disappointments risk material pullbacks," Julian Emanuel, who leads the equity, derivatives, and quantitative strategy team at Evercore ISI, wrote in a note to clients on Friday. Eyes on the 'broadening' Alphabet and Tesla will kick off quarterly releases for the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks. Once again, that cohort is expected to lead S&P 500 earnings growth this quarter. The Magnificent Seven is expected to have grown earnings by 14.1% compared to the year prior during the second quarter. The other 493 stocks in the index are expected to have seen just 3.4% year-over-year earnings growth. That means the prospect of S&P earnings surprising to the upside largely hinges on Big Tech results. But as the chart below shows, consensus is expecting the other 493 to begin driving a greater share of earnings growth over the next several quarters — a key call among Wall Street strategists hoping for a broadening of the stock market rally that has only come in spurts over the past several years. "It's time for earnings to deliver," Citi strategist Scott Chronert wrote in a note to clients. "Commentary will be key if we hope to see further upside in revisions, and hopefully, some inflections in cyclical sector growth to finally drive broadening. He added, "The issue is the setup. It feels like the market is moving ahead of positive developments. And as we continue to note, sentiment is elevated, and implicit growth expectations are high."

I asked Alexa Plus to tackle my to-do list — it mostly failed
One of the best features of Amazon's new Alexa Plus is that I don't have to 'speak Alexa' anymore. I've been testing the voice assistant for about a week now, and it understands what I say, regardless of how I say it — there's no more need for precise phrasing to get Alexa to do what I want. This big shift underpins another headline feature of the revamped generative AI-powered assistant that I've been testing: agentic AI. But this one needs work. The idea is I can talk to Alexa Plus as I would to a real personal assistant and ask it to do tasks, such as reserving a restaurant for my friend's birthday, finding an electrician to fix my broken sprinkler pump, or booking tickets to a Chris Isaak concert. The assistant can then act as an 'AI agent' and navigate online services on my behalf to book everything for me. Combined with better calendar management and the ability to remember things you tell it, Alexa's agentic AI has the potential to make the assistant much more useful. Alexa's AI agent features are neither broad enough nor seamless enough to replace my real-life personal assistant: me At least in theory. In reality, it's too limited. Alexa Plus relies on partnerships with specific services; it can't just roam the web and do my bidding. As of now, that includes Ticketmaster, OpenTable, Uber, and Thumbtack. While impressively, Alexa did manage to complete several steps, overall, the AI agent's current features are neither broad enough nor seamless enough to replace my real-life personal assistant: me. Alexa Plus is still in an Early Access beta phase, and Amazon says more integrations are coming soon. These include ordering groceries by voice (via 'several grocery providers in the US'), delivery through Grubhub, and booking spa visits through Vagaro. These may be more useful to me, especially grocery ordering. I already use Alexa for my shopping list, but I then have to put everything into my Harris Teeter shopping app for pickup or delivery. If Alexa could take that list and add it to a service like Instacart, it would cut out a chunk of work for me. Of the three agentic experiences I tested, the best was booking a ticket to an event through Ticketmaster. After a dodgy start — when I asked about sports events and was told about a youth basketball training session — I tried again. 'What events are there in Charleston next month that you can buy me tickets for?' Alexa produced a list of about 10 local sports events and concerts on the Echo Show 15 I was using (Alexa Plus is much more useful on a screened device). It told me, 'You've got music shows like Blackberry Smoke and Mike Campbell on August 5th and Collective Soul on August 6th. There's also a Cure tribute band on August 2nd. Anything catch your interest?' I spotted a Chris Isaak concert in the list (I love a good Wicked Game) and told it to book me tickets. It found balcony seats for $98.15 each and asked how many I wanted, while also showing me more expensive options. I selected the cheap seats, and it walked me through each step as it added them to my cart, ending with a checkout button where my credit card details were pre-populated. (I'd linked my Ticketmaster account in the Alexa app when I first set up Alexa Plus.) I canceled before purchasing, because I don't love a Wicked Game $200 much, and Alexa confirmed that the tickets were released. However, alarmingly, later that day, a pop-up in the Alexa app told me that anyone with access to my Alexa devices can order tickets. Amazon: I'll take a PIN option here, please. Next, I asked Alexa to 'book a dinner for two in downtown Charleston for tomorrow night at 7PM.' It returned three options, which is just sad — Charleston has a hopping foodie scene. I picked a French spot I'd been to before and changed it up, asking Alexa to 'make it for two weeks on Friday.' Unfazed, Alexa understood, pivoted and confirmed availability for Friday, July 31st, at 7PM, then asked if I wanted to book. After I confirmed, it said it would also add the reservation to my linked Gmail calendar. Handy! Alexa had messed up the date Or so I thought. I then received a text message from OpenTable, confirming my reservation for Thursday, July 31st. Alexa had messed up the date. I told Alexa to switch the reservation to Friday, August 1st, and it did, also updating my calendar. While it eventually booked the table, Alexa took longer to do it and was less accurate than if I'd just opened the OpenTable app on my phone (or more realistically, the Resy app that most restaurants in Charleston use) and done it myself. Finally, I had Alexa tackle a chore I've been putting off for two years: finding an electrician. I've been meaning to get the circuit for my sprinkler pump fixed for ages. It's on the same one as my internet router, so when the pump kicks in, it trips the circuit — and down goes my Wi-Fi. The big difference is that I did all of this hands-free I told Alexa I needed an electrician to fix the sprinkler system, and asked if it could book one. It pulled a list of several 'highly rated electricians' in my area via Thumbtack, highlighting the top three. I picked one and asked it to schedule a visit for a week from now. Alexa asked several follow-up questions about my house and the specific issue — it felt a bit like filling out a webform with my voice. Alexa, then said it was working on sending the request through the Thumbtack website, and that I'd get updates soon. A few hours later, still no word from Alexa. But I received an email from Thumbtack (the first of many…) and a text message from the electrician asking me to call or text to schedule an appointment. Not exactly the seamless set-it-and-forget-it experience I'd hoped for. Still, the big difference is that I did all of this hands-free. I could be setting up dinner dates and finding electricians while cooking dinner or folding laundry. As a working mother of two, anything that helps with multitasking so I can complete my to-do list faster is welcome. But while the tech is impressive, the lack of depth and the failures I experienced in two out of my three tests mean I don't plan to rely on Alexa to do these tasks for me just yet.
