Robinhood's 175% rally this year is best among U.S. tech stocks
As Robinhood investors await second-quarter earnings, expectations are sky-high. The online broker, known for popularizing stock and crypto trading with young investors, has seen its shares surge 177% this year, outpacing all other U.S. tech companies valued at $5 or more, excluding those that went public in 2025. The next best performer is Palantir, up 107%. Robinhood's pop this year follows a 192% rally in 2024. The company's market cap now sits at $91 billion, putting it slightly behind Coinbase, one of its top rivals in the market for buying crypto. Still, Robinhood was left out of the S&P 500 in the latest reshuffle, while Coinbase made the cut in May. Earlier this month, monitoring software company Datadog was added to the benchmark index as part of its quarterly change. Shortly thereafter, online ad company The Trade Desk and fintech firm Block joined the S&P 500, replacing companies that were getting acquired. The index's three newest companies are each worth tens of billions of dollars less than Robinhood. Robinhood has another shot to show that it's deserving when it reports quarterly earnings after the bell on Wednesday. Analysts expect the company to report revenue growth of 33% from a year earlier to $908 million, according to LSEG, with projected earnings per share of 31 cents. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at about $448 million, according to StreetAccount. The rally reflects Robinhood's transformation from a U.S. retail broker into a global fintech and crypto infrastructure platform. While U.S. fintech funding fell 42% in the first half of 2025, according to Tracxn's semiannual report, dealmaking accelerated, and Robinhood stands out as one of the most notable buyers. In June, Robinhood acquired Bitstamp for about $200 million, gaining institutional trading rails, custody services, and more than 50 active licenses. In May, it agreed to buy Canadian crypto platform WonderFi for $179 million, expanding its regulatory footprint across North America. Robinhood is finding significant traction in Europe, where the company has begun rolling out tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds, including synthetic shares of OpenAI and SpaceX, using blockchain. The token launch this month came alongside a broader crypto push announced at Robinhood's Cannes summit, where the company also disclosed plans for its own layer-2 blockchain optimized for real-world asset settlement. It also announced 24/7 trading and staking for Ethereum and Solana for its U.S. customers, a feature that allows users to earn rewards by supporting network operations. Other enhancements allow users to tap more leverage for crypto investments and use tools that help minimize capital gains payments and get more advanced charting. Analysts at Mizuho raised their price target on the stock to $99 following the launch in France, citing the company's "unmatched product velocity" and availability in more than 30 countries in Europe. There are potential regulatory hurdles to some of Robinhood's efforts. Regarding the tokenized trading, the Bank of Lithuania, Robinhood's lead regulator in the European Union, said it's "awaiting clarifications" on the product. But in the U.S., SEC Chair Paul Atkins called the model "an innovation" on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC after the announcement that he is "happy to continue to answer questions from our regulators," and said the company built its tokenized stock program to withstand scrutiny. "Since this is a new thing, regulators are going to want to look at it," he said. "And we expect to be scrutinized as a large, innovative player in this space." Robinhood declined to comment for this story. In its first-quarter earnings announcement in late April, Robinhood reported a 77% increase in transaction-based revenue to $583 million. Crypto trading revenue doubled to $252 million, options revenue rose 56% to $240 million and revenue from equities increased 44% to $56 million. This quarter, analysts are watching how that momentum holds up. Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald said in a note last month that it sees Robinhood continuing to gain share from larger brokers like Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers, as well as from crypto exchanges such as Coinbase. The firm recently lifted its price target to $89 from $60, maintaining an overweight rating on the stock. The challenge for investors is that Robinhood has zoomed past most analysts' estimates, leaving plenty of room for disappointment. Its stock closed at $103.32 on Tuesday, down about $6 from its high on July 18. Among analysts tracked by FactSet, the average price target is $100.57.

BYD's Shenzhen Share Split Could Boost Stock After Retreat
(Bloomberg) -- A three-for-one stock split for BYD Co.'s mainland-traded shares could be a positive catalyst for the carmaker after a weeks-long slump. Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild San Francisco in Talks With Vanderbilt for Downtown Campus Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Its Shenzhen-listed stock trades ex-dividend on Tuesday, taking into account a bonus issue and capitalization issue announced in April. This will lower the price for one lot of 100 shares to around 11,000 yuan ($1,532), down from roughly 34,000 yuan per lot on Monday, a potential boon onshore where retail investors are more active. They're also highly sensitive to the minimum amount required to own shares of the company. 'The stock split is likely to bring in new retail interest as each share drops to a third of the price before trading ex-dividend,' according to He Wenping, managing director at Beijing Youhe Private Equity Management. 'However, these levels may still be too expensive for the bulk of mom-and-pop traders.' While BYD's Hong Kong-listed stock rose in the lead up to its ex-dividend date last month, there was no apparent boost afterward. This may have been because a lot size of 500 shares on the exchange meant at least HK$70,000 was needed to buy the stock after the split, which may have deterred smaller investors.

Bitcoin Swift Announces Stage 2 Presale and AI-Driven Governance Rollout Ahead of 2026 Ecosystem Launch
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 30, 2025, 16:32 IST LUXEMBOURG, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Swift (BTC3) a next-generation decentralized financial protocol, has officially entered Stage 2 of its limited 64-day presale, offering early access to its programmable staking rewards and upcoming governance framework powered by artificial intelligence. The presale is scheduled to conclude on September 18, 2025, with Stage 3 pricing already confirmed to increase to $3 per token ahead of the protocol's full deployment. With blockchain technology evolving rapidly, Bitcoin Swift is positioning itself as an integrated financial infrastructure designed to support scalable, compliant, and intelligent Web3 applications. Its roadmap outlines an 18-month rollout plan, culminating in the launch of the BTC3 mainnet and ecosystem tools by Q4 2026. A New Financial Architecture Bitcoin Swift describes itself as a decentralized financial operating system centered around three principles: scalability, intelligence, and compliance. The protocol utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism that combines Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake to balance decentralization with energy-efficient finality. Key technical features include: AI-powered smart contracts using reinforcement learning agents using reinforcement learning agents Privacy-preserving identity architecture with zk-SNARK integration with zk-SNARK integration On-chain and off-chain oracle support for real-time data processing for real-time data processing Programmable staking and governance through its Proof-of-Yield (PoY) model Stage 2 participants receive a projected 133% APY, with PoY rewards distributed at the end of each presale phase. Unlike conventional token sales, Bitcoin Swift's system is designed to immediately activate utility and governance functions during the presale itself. Upcoming Milestones and Deployment Timeline BTC3's roadmap spans five key phases from 2025 to 2026, each delivering progressive enhancements to protocol functionality and community access. Q3–Q4 2025 : Token presale, Solana-based launch, and PoY reward distribution. Initial exchange integrations and global community onboarding campaigns are also in motion. : Token presale, Solana-based launch, and PoY reward distribution.

Q4 2026: BTC3 mainnet launch, deployment of the BTC3E stablecoin, institutional onboarding tools, and a bridge connecting Solana to BTC3's native chain. This rapid development cycle aims to give early participants access to working tools and evolving infrastructure rather than long waiting periods between token launch and protocol activity. AI Contract Layer and Identity Stack One of the protocol's technical cornerstones is its AI-enabled contract layer, which embeds reinforcement learning agents into the logic of smart contracts. These agents are designed to adapt over time, optimize contract behavior based on usage data, and reduce the need for manual upgrades or re-deployment. The identity architecture complements this with privacy-preserving compliance tools. Users can verify identity traits via zk-proofs without exposing sensitive data. Additional features include: Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for governance access for governance access Selective disclosure and shielded transactions for confidential transfers for confidential transfers Zero-knowledge audit trails for institutional reporting With KYC verification in place and audits completed by both SolidProof and SpyWolf , BTC3 is drawing both trust and excitement across crypto communities. Presale Details and Participation The BTC3 token is currently priced at $2 during Stage 2, with Stage 3 set to increase to $3. The presale will conclude on September 18, 2025, followed by progressive token unlocks and ecosystem feature releases. Holders of BTC3 during the presale not only gain access to protocol rewards through the PoY model but also participate in on-chain governance, with quadratic voting and simulation tools arriving in Q3 2026. The short presale period, combined with the reward distribution at each stage, is designed to encourage participation from users and builders who want early access to a live infrastructure, not just speculative tokens. Looking Ahead With development advancing on schedule and community engagement growing through on-chain utility, Bitcoin Swift aims to deliver a functional and adaptive blockchain environment built for the next generation of decentralized applications.
