Best money market account rates today, August 10, 2025 (best account provides 4.41% APY)
Find out how much you could earn with today's money market account rates. The Federal Reserve cut its target rate three times in 2024. So deposit rates — including money market account (MMA) rates — have started falling. It's more important than ever to compare MMA rates and ensure you earn as much as possible on your balance. Overview of money market account rates today The national average money market account rate stands at 0.62%, according to the FDIC. Even so, some of the top accounts are currently offering rates of 4% APY and up. Since these rates may not be around much longer, consider opening a money market account now to take advantage of today's high rates. Here's a look at some of the top MMA rates available today:Additionally, the table below features some of the best savings and money market account rates available today from our verified partners. This embedded content is not available in your region. How much interest can I earn with a money market account? The amount of interest you can earn from a money market account depends on the annual percentage rate (APY). This is a measure of your total earnings after one year when considering the base interest rate and how often interest compounds (money market account interest typically compounds daily). Say you put $1,000 in an MMA at the average interest rate of 0.64% with daily compounding. At the end of one year, your balance would grow to $1,006.42 — your initial $1,000 deposit, plus just $6.42 in interest. Now let's say you choose a high-yield money market account that offers 4% APY instead. In this case, your balance would grow to $1,040.81 over the same period, which includes $40.81 in interest. The more you deposit in a money market account, the more you stand to earn. If we took our same example of a money market account at 4% APY, but deposit $10,000, your total balance after one year would be $10,408.08, meaning you'd earn $408.08 in interest.

Analysis-Trump's 401(k) order offers retirement savers crypto, private assets, but also higher fees and more risk
By Suzanne McGee and Isla Binnie NEW YORK (Reuters) -The new White House order directing regulators to expand access to alternative investments in 401(k) plans, like crypto or privately owned companies adds a new layer of risk to the retirement portfolios for ordinary investors that they may not fully understand, investment professionals say. "This is brand new; none of it has been stress-tested yet" in a market shock or long-term selloff, said Christopher Bailey, director of retirement, at Cerulli Associates, an asset management research firm. "There are liquidity concerns, issues around fees, among others." While industry advocates and the Trump administration say investments in private equity, crypto or privately held companies like ChatGPT developer OpenAI or Elon Musk's SpaceX hold the promise of greater returns, critics say the investments are inherently riskier, lack the same disclosures and carry higher fees than traditional retirement plans. "I don't think people are talking enough about the potential for higher fees," said Philitsa Hanson, head of product, equity and fund administration, Allvue Systems, a software and solutions provider for private asset managers. The executive order, she said, "raises more questions than answers. Someone will need to be very thoughtful about how these types of assets can be incorporated" into 401(k) plans. Private equity and other alternative asset funds have increasingly been raising capital from wealthy individuals but are traditionally designed for institutional investors and typically include layers of fees. Private equity, for instance, has long had the "2 and 20" structure: managers collect a 2% overall fee, as well as 20% of any gains. In contrast, the mutual funds that today make up the lion's share of 401(k) plan assets offer fees that average a mere 0.26%, according to the Investment Company Institute. Dmitriy Katsnelson, deputy chief investment officer at Wealthspire Advisors, which manages $30 billion for affluent and high net worth individuals and families, notes that if the executive order triggers a rapid and significant change in the menu of investment plans open to investors, that would reverse the trend of the last few decades. "It's been all about cutting fees, doing no harm," Katsnelson said. "It's going to take a while for people to come up with a framework to make this work and think about the risks." Alternative asset managers will likely need to come up with new products with lower fees, greater liquidity and more transparency if they want to tap into the trillions of dollars and 90 million investors in employer-sponsored retirement plans. Jason Kephart, an analyst at Morningstar, said the fees for some alternative investments aren't clearly spelled out, some even have to be deciphered from footnotes. They "might be even underrepresenting the actual cost to the end investor, and I have a hard time seeing how plan sponsors are going to get comfortable with that," he said. "I think there is going to be more light shed on all these fees and exactly where they are and make it transparent." Under the current system, investors can also monitor fluctuations in their portfolio's performance on a daily basis and understand precisely what is contributing to those results, Hanson said. That won't be so easy for investments that aren't traded on open exchanges. "Private equity, private assets are the opposite," said Allvue's Hanson. "You're asking systems designed for daily trades to support illiquid and sometimes manually priced assets. There's a fundamental mismatch there.' That creates an obligation on the part of asset managers and plan sponsors to increase their outreach and education efforts, suggests Cerulli's Bailey. A typical retirement fund investor "is not sitting there thinking about optimizing their portfolio" and considering the impact of adding private assets to the mix on their risk or potential return, he said. Blackstone President and Chief Operating Officer Jon Gray recently told analysts that private assets are more appropriate for younger investors that have a longer investing horizon than for someone nearing retirement. One test case for the legal risks of putting retirement nest eggs in private markets has played out at chipmaker Intel, where employees brought a lawsuit over two retirement plans that included investments in hedge funds, private equity and commodities. An appeals court finally dismissed the complaint after seven years of court battles this year but lawyers at Debevoise & Plimpton said that asset managers and plan sponsors generally don't have the resources to manage multi-year litigation. Regulators will have to give the industry some legal protection from investor lawsuits to make good on Trump's plan, they said.

This Stark County ZIP code ranks among the top 50 hottest in the U.S., Realtor.com says
continues to have praise for the Stark County housing market. A Stark County ZIP code cracked list of the 50 "Hottest ZIP Codes" in the country for 2025. This comes just weeks after the which is run by the National Association of Realtors, and the Wall Street Journal ranked the Canton-Massillon market as the second best in the U.S. in its summer rankings. The 44718 ZIP code, which covers parts of Jackson and Plain townships, ranked No. 39. Plain Township Trustee Scott Haws wasn't surprised to hear 44718 made the list, and said it is a testament to the hard work and development the township puts into the community. "It pleasantly reinforces to me that we are a welcoming environment," he said. "We're balancing development along with preservation of green space, and that combined with quality schools and quick access to shopping needs of all types, I think it's just that nice mix." Haws said further developing the township will continue to build upon the sense of community in the area. "When you're going to invest your hard earned dollars in housing, you certainly want to have a certain level of feeling that there's intentional planning, that there's good zoning and code enforcement to help you protect your investment," he said. "I think the culture we have (and) the socioeconomic diversity of Plain makes it an attractive place for folks to raise a family that would be in an environment that's more reflective of the real world." Midwest shows up strong among top 50 hottest ZIP codes Northeast Ohio had multiple appearances among the top 50. This year's list continues a consistent trend for the Midwestern states in the report. "For the third consecutive year, the South and West were absent from the list. Instead, the Northeast and Midwest dominated, reflecting continued demand in regions where supply is constrained," according to the report. "Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Ohio each contributed two ZIPs (in the top 10)." A Strongsville-area ZIP code (44149) was ranked No. 6 and Bexley (43209) was No. 10. Ohio has several other communities in the top 50: Toledo (No. 17), Cuyahoga Falls (No. 22), Mansfield (No. 34), Ashland (No. 37), Fairfield (No. 43) and Tiffin (No. 48). How is the housing market compared to last year? According to a July report from the average listing price last month was $439,990, a mere 0.5% increase from last year. "The national market is cooling overall, but the pace and severity of the slowdown vary widely across regions," according to the report. "On the inventory side, metros in the Northeast and Midwest remain relatively tight, while those in the South and West are tilting in a more buyer-friendly direction with longer time on the market and an increasing number of sellers cutting prices." In the Midwest, listings are staying on the market three days longer than last year on average. "In July, the typical home spent 58 days on the market, which is seven days longer than the same time last year," according to the report. "This marks the 16th straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis. National time on the market has now surpassed pre-pandemic norms for the first time." What's the average household income in hottest ZIP codes? On average, the household income in the top 50 ZIP codes is around $114,000, significantly higher than the national average of $79,000. "Shoppers in these markets are not only looking at higher-priced homes, but also putting more money down, likely in part to reduce their monthly payments in a high-interest rate environment," according to the report. "The typical householder was also older at 56 years old compared to the national median of 54, reinforcing the trend of more established, equity-rich buyers leading demand." What's the average listing price in the Canton-Massillon area? In the 44718 ZIP code, the median listing price from January to June was $414,000, notably below the national average for the month of June, which was $441,000. Listings in the area stayed on the market for an average of 33 days. Where are hottest ZIP codes? Here's the top ten hottest ZIP codes from and their median listing prices: 01915 (Beverly, Massachusetts): $746,000 08053 (Marlton, New Jersey): $495,000 01453 (Leominster, Massachusetts): $441,000 63021 (Ballwin, Missouri): $350,000 07470 (Wayne, New Jersey): $664,000 44149 (Strongsville): $423,000 06611 (Trumbull, Connecticut): $666,000 02864 (Cumberland, Rhode Island): $534,000 06074 (South Windsor, Connecticut): $406,000 43209 (Bexley): $439,000 To view the full report, go to: This article originally appeared on The Repository: top 50 hottest ZIP codes includes one in Stark County Solve the daily Crossword
