Robinhood Is a ‘Prime Candidate' for S&P 500 Addition, BofA Says
(Bloomberg) -- Robinhood Markets Inc. is a 'prime candidate' to enter the S&P 500 Index in the rebalancing set to be announced Friday, a milestone that would spur passive funds to snap up shares of the online brokerage, according to Bank of America Corp. ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says The Buffalo Architect Fighting for Women in Design The stock was in focus among investors at a meeting about potential index changes for financial stocks, analysts led by Craig Siegenthaler wrote in a note. Robinhood's stock has surged as both equity and cryptocurrency markets rally, and on Tuesday, it closed at its first record high in nearly four years. The shares were 0.3% higher on Wednesday afternoon after swinging between gains and losses. Companies that win addition to the US benchmark can see a big stock boost. Crypto-exchange operator Coinbase Global Inc. notched a 34% gain in the week its addition was announced in May, even as investors digested news of a hack and regulatory scrutiny. Passive mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that track the S&P 500 are required to reshuffle their holdings to match the gauge, and the Bank of America analysts expect 'significant buying activity from passive funds' if Robinhood joins the index. 'The S&P 500 and Russell 1000 are the two major benchmarks for our large cap long-only clients,' the analysts wrote. 'When companies are added, we experience significantly higher interest from long-only portfolio managers which are essentially now forced to cover them and make a call.' Ares Management Corp., Carvana Co. and AppLovin Corp. are among other companies that the analysts flagged as possible additions, while Interactive Brokers Group Inc. could migrate from the S&P 400. Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. is likely to be added to the S&P Total Market Index in June after it won entry to the Russell 1000, with addition to the S&P 500 coming later in the year, they wrote.

JPMorgan to let clients use spot Bitcoin ETFs as loan collateral
JPMorgan to let clients use spot Bitcoin ETFs as loan collateral originally appeared on TheStreet. JPMorgan Chase is reportedly gearing up to accept spot Bitcoin ETFs as collateral for loans — a move that could open the floodgates for more crypto-backed lending on Wall Street. According to a June 4 report by Bloomberg, the bank plans to roll out the program within its trading and wealth management divisions. The initial focus will be on BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), but sources say other spot Bitcoin ETFs will likely be included over time. JPMorgan's move comes as President Donald Trump has set a course to deregulate finance, and there are fewer obstacles to using crypto in banking and lending since his re-election. JPMorgan has previously accepted crypto ETF holdings as collateral on a case-by-case basis. But this new framework would significantly expand that, treating crypto ETFs more like traditional assets when calculating a client's net worth — similar to how stocks, real estate, or luxury assets are assessed. This means wealthy clients holding large amounts of Bitcoin via ETFs could see their borrowing power increase substantially. Bloomberg also noted that JPMorgan is beginning to formally consider crypto exposure as part of overall net worth calculations. The move comes just days after JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon made headlines with a notable shift in tone. In a June 2 appearance on Mornings with Maria on Fox Business, Dimon — long known for his criticism of Bitcoin — said he supports financial deregulation and warned of a potential bond crisis reminiscent of the COVID-19 era. While he hasn't exactly become a Bitcoin bull, Dimon has previously defended people's 'right to buy' crypto.
