BOCA RATON, FL, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the 'Company' or 'DeFi Dev Corp.'), the first US public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana ('SOL'), today announced its support for the launch of a new dfdvSOL / SOL liquidity pool on Orca, one of the leading Solana-native decentralized exchanges. The pool, deployed on Orca's flagship Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM), introduces new utility and yield opportunities for dfdvSOL holders, while contributing to long-term growth in SOL per share (SPS).
Orca's CLMM enables liquidity providers to allocate dual-token liquidity in specific price ranges, thereby maximizing capital efficiency and potential fee earnings. With the launch of a dfdvSOL / SOL pool, Orca users can now:
Provide liquidity in tailored price ranges, enhancing fee generation and capital efficiency vs. traditional AMM pools.
Earn trading fees from swaps between dfdvSOL and SOL within their allocated range.
Harvest yield over time, benefiting from Orca's advanced liquidity terminal for managing positions and optimizing fee capture.
'This pool represents a major new utility pathway for dfdvSOL,' said Parker White, COO & CIO of DeFi Dev Corp. 'Orca's CLMM architecture lets users strategically deploy dfdvSOL and earn yields as SOL-market activity grows, deepening asset demand and strengthening our mission to grow SOL per share.'
The dfdvSOL / SOL pool will leverage Orca's full-featured liquidity terminal, enabling providers to:
Set custom full-range or concentrated ranges for deploying dfdvSOL and SOL.
Track performance, fees, and potential divergence loss via integrated charts and dashboards.
Capture Orca's adaptive fee tiers and optimize position management.
With the CLMM pool, DeFi Dev Corp. affirms dfdvSOL's expanding role as a multi-dimensional DeFi asset in Solana's ecosystem, with bridging staking, liquidity provision, and fee capture under a single strategy. The partnership will also set the stage for future collaboration on tokenized financial assets, including the potential for stock-backed tokens and other real-world asset (RWA) representations on Solana.

Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Could Hit a $1 Trillion Valuation by 2030
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) stock zoomed higher on June 11 after the company reported its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results (for the three months ended May 31), and the post-earnings bounce has taken its market cap to just over $600 billion. The stock is up impressively as its Q4 numbers beat consensus expectations, and the outlook for the current year points toward a nice acceleration in growth. Oracle is benefiting from the rapid adoption of its cloud infrastructure services, which are being rented by customers for training artificial intelligence (AI) models and running inference in the cloud. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » As a result, the company's growth should accelerate, not only in the current fiscal year, but over the next five years as well. In fact, it won't be surprising to see Oracle joining the trillion-dollar market cap club by the end of the decade, thanks to its AI-powered growth. Let's take a closer look at the catalysts that could propel Oracle's market cap past $1 trillion by 2030. Oracle is on track to exceed its long-term guidance At its financial analyst meeting held in September last year, Oracle management's fiscal 2029 guidance called for at least $104 billion in revenue, along with annual earnings per share growth of 20%-plus. However, the company now seems on track to exceed those projections. Oracle now anticipates fiscal 2026 revenue to land at $67 billion, which is higher than the $66 billion guidance issued in September last year. That's not surprising, as Oracle management anticipates much stronger growth in its revenue pipeline in the current fiscal year, which could eventually allow it to exceed its updated growth expectations. The company expects its remaining performance obligations (RPO) to more than double in fiscal 2026. That's a massive forecast, considering that the company ended fiscal 2025 with $138 billion in RPO, and the metric increased 41% year over year in the final quarter of the fiscal year. For comparison, Oracle ended fiscal 2024 with an RPO of $98 billion, which means that the metric grew by 40% during the year. As RPO refers to the total value of a company's contracts that are yet to be fulfilled at the end of a quarter, the remarkable growth in this metric is great news for Oracle investors, as it points toward a fast-improving revenue pipeline. This is precisely why Oracle expects to deliver much faster top-line growth in the current fiscal year, and because its RPO growth is set to accelerate, it should be able to sustain impressive revenue growth levels over a longer period of time. This is the reason why analysts significantly raised their revenue growth expectations for Oracle. Data by YCharts. Oracle's RPO forecast suggests that it could be sitting on around $280 billion worth of unfulfilled contracts by the end of the current fiscal year. The good part is that it could continue to land more contracts even after achieving such massive RPO because of the terrific opportunity in the cloud infrastructure market. Goldman Sachs estimates that the global cloud computing market could generate a whopping $2 trillion in revenue by the end of the decade. The infrastructure-as-a-service market is expected to account for $580 billion of that opportunity, while software-as-a-service revenue could account for $780 billion. So Oracle still has more room for growth, and it is pulling the right strings to ensure that it makes the most of the available opportunities on offer. The company currently has 29 dedicated data centers for its customers, and it is going to build another 30 in the current fiscal year. It is also going to increase the number of multicloud data centers from 23 to 70 in the next 12 months. This substantial increase in Oracle's capacity should allow it to capture more of the lucrative end market pointed out, and that's precisely why the company could end up joining the trillion-dollar club by the end of the decade. Consensus estimates project Oracle's earnings to increase by 12% in the current fiscal year to $6.75 per share. This is set to be followed by much stronger growth over the next couple of fiscal years. Data by YCharts. Assuming the company maintains a 20% annual earnings growth rate in the two years after fiscal 2028, its bottom line could increase to $14.28 per share after five years. Oracle is trading at 32 times earnings right now, which is higher than its five-year average earnings multiple of 26. If it trades in line with its five-year average earnings multiple in 2030, its stock price could hit $381, which points toward 77% gains from current levels. Oracle currently has a market cap of $603 billion, and the potential upside it could deliver by 2030 will easily help its valuation exceed $1 trillion. However, don't be surprised to see this AI stock delivering even stronger gains, as the market could reward it with a richer multiple on account of its accelerating growth. Since Oracle now trades at a discount to the U.S. technology sector's average earnings multiple of 48, investors can consider buying this stock, given its attractive valuation and healthy upside potential. Should you invest $1,000 in Oracle right now? Before you buy stock in Oracle, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Oracle wasn't one of them.

Could Investing $7,500 in Some Dividend ETFs Make You a Millionaire?
I've been investing for decades, and I've grown increasingly interested in dividend-paying stocks over that period. Like many, I used to overlook lots of dividend payers in favor of more exciting growth stocks, but I now appreciate just how powerful dividend payers can be. (Also, dividend stocks can be growth stocks, too!) An especially easy and effective way to invest in dividend payers is via exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are funds that trade like stocks. Here's a look at some promising ones, as well as a review of how powerful dividends are. What's so great about dividends? For starters, dividend-paying stocks tend to be sturdier than ones that don't offer payouts because a company generally has to get to a certain size, with fairly dependable income, before it will initiate and commit to a regular dividend. Once a company pays a regular dividend, it will want to keep doing so, as dividend cuts or suspensions are signs of trouble. Thus, when the economy heads south, as it inevitably does from time to time, healthy dividend stocks will keep paying. So, you may not be seeing a lot of growth in your portfolio for a while, but it will still be receiving infusions of cash from your dividends -- cash that you might reinvest in more stock. Meanwhile, if you're still thinking that non-dividend stocks are faster growers, think again. Check out the numbers below: Dividend-Paying Status Average Annual Total Return, 1973-2024 Dividend growers and initiators 10.24% Dividend payers 9.20% No change in dividend policy 6.75% Non-payers 4.31% Dividend shrinkers and eliminators (0.89%) Equal-weighted S&P 500 index 7.65% Data source: Ned Davis Research and Hartford Funds. As the table suggests, it's especially powerful to invest in companies that are regularly increasing their payouts, as many do. How to become a millionaire over time Before getting to some dividend ETFs you might consider, take a moment to see how money grows over time. If you have enough time, and you're saving and investing meaningful sums, you can very likely become a millionaire -- if not a multimillionaire. Check it out: Growing at 8% for $7,500 Invested Annually $15,000 Invested Annually 5 years $47,519 $95,039 10 years $117,341 $234,682 15 years $219,932 $439,864 20 years $370,672 $741,344 25 years $592,158 $1,184,316 30 years $917,594 $1,835,188 35 years $1,395,766 $2,791,532 40 years $2,098,358 $4,196,716 Source: Calculations by author. I used an 8% growth rate because the S&P 500 has averaged annual returns close to 10% (ignoring inflation) over long periods, and I wanted to be a bit conservative. Speaking of the S&P 500, you can do quite well in your investing life just sticking with a simple, low-fee index fund such as one that tracks the S&P 500. It, too, is a dividend payer, though its dividend yield isn't very big (1.3% recently). An S&P 500 index fund such as Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) will let you enjoy dividend payouts (and ones that will grow over time) while you also benefit from the growth of 500 of America's biggest companies, many of which pay dividends. So do consider this fund, which Warren Buffett loves. Let these dividend ETFs help you become a millionaire But here are some dividend-focused ETFs to consider, too. I'll share their yields and recent performance below, and compare their numbers to an S&P 500 index fund: JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) 8.01% 11.17% N/A iShares Preferred & Income Securities ETF (PFF) 6.68% 2.49% 3.13% Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) 3.97% 11.31% 11.00% Fidelity High Dividend ETF 3.02% 15.59% N/A Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF 2.86% 12.28% 10.04% SPDR S&P Dividend ETF 2.59% 9.51% 9.37% iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF 2.55% 4.84% 6.01% iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF 2.23% 11.91% 11.73% Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF 1.79% 12.53% 11.80% First Trust Rising Dividend Achievers ETF 1.67% 15.20% 12.74% Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 1.23% 15.05% 13.15% Source: Yahoo! Finance and as of June 10, 2025. I included a bunch so that you might compare. Some aim for and offer higher yields, while others had higher returns over the past decade. Depending on your brokerage, or even what your 401(k) plan offers, funds in some families (such as Vanguard, Schwab, or Fidelity) might be easier and cheaper to invest in. Before you leap into shares of the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF, understand that it's not an ordinary stock ETF. It holds more than 80% of its assets in U.S. stocks and devotes much of the rest to options. It's only a few years old, but its high yield has drawn plenty of interest. Read up on it if you're intrigued. Park $7,500, or any other sum, in one or more of these dividend-focused ETFs, and you're likely to build respectable wealth over many years. Should you invest $1,000 in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF right now? Before you buy stock in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF wasn't one of them.

History Says Now Is an Excellent Time to Buy Nvidia Stock
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has been the one that got away for many investors. I am also a part of this group, as I owned the stock from early 2023 to mid-2023 before selling shares. I eventually got back into Nvidia stock in late 2024 and have made a solid profit since then. This illustrates a valuable lesson: Just because you missed an initial run-up in the stock doesn't mean it's too late to buy now. I think Nvidia could still be an excellent buy now, and some historical values back that claim up. Nvidia's GPUs have dominated the AI arms race Nvidia is a company focused on graphics processing units (GPUs). It pursues all avenues that bolster its GPU dominance, including software and other infrastructure necessary to support GPUs. GPUs are a different style of computing unit, as they can process multiple calculations in parallel rather than just one. This ability gives them an edge in tasks that require high-powered computing, such as gaming graphics (their original purpose), cryptocurrency mining, engineering simulations, drug discovery, and their most important use case yet: artificial intelligence training. The AI arms race caused Nvidia's stock to boom because every AI hyperscaler used Nvidia GPUs to train and run their models. This demand has persisted for longer than most investors thought, and it doesn't look to be slowing anytime soon. In Q1 FY 2026 (ending April 28), Nvidia's revenue rose an impressive 69% year over year to $44 billion. That figure was impacted by the U.S. government's decision to ban the sale of H20 chips in China, which also affected Q2's guidance. Despite that headwind, Nvidia is still expected to grow revenue by 50%. So, even without China, Nvidia is still posting impressive growth. Furthermore, Europe has largely been asleep at the wheel while China and the U.S. are in an AI arms race. However, that looks like it's changing, as Nvidia has announced that multiple AI "factories" (data centers filled with Nvidia GPUs) are under construction in Europe. This could boost Nvidia's growth, propelling it much higher over the next few years. This vision backs up a third-party projection that Nvidia cited during its 2025 GTC event. The projection claimed that worldwide data center construction topped $400 billion in 2024 and could rise to $1 trillion by 2028. During FY 2025 (which encompasses most of 2024), Nvidia generated $115 billion from data center GPU sales. If this spending projection comes true and Nvidia maintains its market share of those capital expenditures, Nvidia's stock could have a ton of upside. But there are also signs that Nvidia's stock is a great buy compared to historical levels. Nvidia's stock is showing a similar pattern to 2024 2025 is shaping up to be very similar to 2024 for Nvidia's stock. During 2024, most investors were convinced that analysts were overprojecting earnings, so it traded for a relatively low forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio during the year's first half. Then, investors realized that this growth was real and would extend well into the following year, so the price shot up and Nvidia traded in the mid-40s forward P/E range. NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts That same thing is happening right now, as Nvidia's forward P/E ratio is starting to creep up, although it still has a ways to go before it reaches the mid-40s level. NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts If this occurs, Nvidia will give investors a solid profit from now until the end of the year. However, I think the future is still incredibly bright for Nvidia, as we haven't scratched the surface of the required computing capacity to operate in an AI-first society. This will fuel Nvidia's stock for years to come, making it an excellent buy-and-hold for the long term. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
