Bitcoin miners remain under pressure. Riot Platforms fell nearly 10% intraday on October 8, sliding from a late-September high near $25 to the $16-$17 range, as sentiment on mining profitability and regulation soured. Bitcoin itself was trading around $82,800 on Monday. As a high-beta miner, Riot tends to move with the price of bitcoin, and technical watchers point to $16-$17 as support and $18-$20 as resistance. Riot reports roughly $647 million in revenue with a gross margi

Precious metals edged higher on Friday. Gold futures rose 0.59% to $4,194.90 an ounce and silver futures gained 1.35% to $57.92 an ounce, as investors looked for shelter from a sharp selloff in technology stocks. Bitcoin rose 2.09% to $81,765.27 in early trading but was still on track for a second straight weekly loss. The pairing of firmer metals and a softer crypto market reflects a cautious tone across risk assets. For miners of gold and silver, higher metal prices can imp

Digital assets bounced on Monday, with the Ether ETF ETHA up about 3.2% and the iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT up about 1.4%, in what one market summary described as a return of risk appetite. The rally follows recent reports that Riot Platforms sold bitcoin to fund its shift toward AI data centers, part of a wider trend of miners redirecting power capacity toward computing demand. Strategy also reported buying another 250 bitcoin. Crypto remains volatile and sensitive to interes

Riot Platforms has been selling bitcoin from its treasury to help pay for operations and data center construction rather than raising new debt or equity. At the end of the second quarter it held 11,380 bitcoin worth about $666 million, with 5,821 coins pledged as collateral. The company reports about $9.8 billion in contracted revenue tied to AMD and an AI lab, expected to generate roughly $520 million a year once fully deployed by June 2028. Free cash flow over the past four

Robinhood announced a strategic partnership with Crypto.com and its prediction markets platform, OG.com, expanding the brokerage's event-contract offering and giving it access to another federally regulated trading venue. The timing places the expanded product ahead of the U.S. football season and the November midterm elections, two of the highest-volume periods for event contracts. Prediction markets have become one of Robinhood's faster-growing revenue lines, sitting alongs

A dispute over tokenized stocks moved from social media to television on Wednesday, with Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev pushing back against AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron, who had accused Robinhood of tokenizing AMC shares without the company's blessing. Speaking on CNBC, Tenev argued that once a company goes public its shares become transferable property, and issuers do not control other companies issuing their own securities that reference those shares. Robinhood's stock tokens

Bitcoin capped its strongest week in roughly three years, climbing above $77,000 on Friday after briefly challenging $80,000 overnight. The cryptocurrency gained more than 20% on the week, up from around $62,800 on Monday, as a wave of regulatory optimism and heavy ETF inflows — more than $800 million into bitcoin and ether funds over two days — pulled investors back into digital assets. Crypto-linked equities rode the move. Robinhood Markets jumped as much as 11% on Friday a

Riot Platforms sold 4,300 bitcoin during the second quarter — bringing first-half 2026 sales to 9,665 BTC — to help fund operations and its rapidly expanding data center business. The disclosure sharpens the picture of a miner deliberately converting its bitcoin treasury into AI infrastructure capital. The pivot is anchored by Riot's 20-year, 191-megawatt lease with Anthropic, projected to generate roughly $9.1 billion in revenue through 2048. Even after the sales, Riot still

Robinhood Markets rolled out no-fee cryptocurrency trading in the United Kingdom this week, giving British customers direct access to more than 50 digital assets through the company's Bitstamp UK subsidiary. The launch marks one of the broader international expansions Robinhood has attempted since acquiring the exchange, and extends a business line that has been a meaningful contributor to trading revenue at home. The move landed alongside the market debut of Robinhood Ventur

Robinhood launched crypto trading in the United Kingdom this week through its Bitstamp UK unit, letting British users buy and sell more than 50 digital assets, including bitcoin, ether and XRP, inside the same app they use for stocks, ISAs, options and futures. The service launches with zero trading fees and no account maintenance or custody charges. The rollout extends Robinhood's push to diversify beyond its home market and beyond transaction-driven crypto revenue. In its m

Robinhood Markets has secured approval from the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority to offer crypto services in Britain, a milestone in the brokerage's international expansion. The clearance opens one of the largest crypto retail markets outside the U.S. to the platform. The approval lands alongside a string of growth initiatives. Robinhood is completing its acquisition of WonderFi, a Canadian crypto firm, for C$250 million, and is preparing to launch its second venture fund, ta

Riot Platforms has opened a $500 million at-the-market stock offering, raising fresh capital at a time when its bitcoin production is declining. The move extends a busy stretch for the miner, which reported second-quarter results this week amid expectations of significant losses and revenue near $149 million. The company is increasingly positioning itself as a developer of large-scale data centers rather than a pure bitcoin miner. Riot began generating revenue from a data cen

Riot Platforms fell about 7% as bitcoin miners sold off across the board, with bitcoin trading near $64,460 and pressure mounting on crypto-linked and high-beta data center names. Peers fell in sympathy: MARA lost roughly 6.8%, CleanSpark 6.3% and IREN 8.8%, pointing to a sector-wide move rather than a company-specific setback. The slide comes as Riot rebalances its business between bitcoin mining and AI-focused data centers. The company recently filed a $416.4 million shelf

Robinhood Markets fell 5.7% on Friday, closing near $100 as a broad Nasdaq selloff and a pullback in cryptocurrency prices weighed on retail-brokerage stocks. Rival Webull dropped roughly 6% in sympathy, with investors trimming exposure to names tied to trading activity and token prices. The decline reflects familiar pressure points: crypto volatility has dented transaction-based revenue, with first-quarter crypto trading revenue down 47% year over year to $134 million, while

Bitcoin fell below $63,000 during an Asian-session leverage flush, trading near $62,500 Tuesday morning, down about 2% over 24 hours and roughly $57,300 below its level a year ago. Crypto market sentiment remains in Extreme Fear territory, with total market capitalization slipping 1.5% to about $2.23 trillion. The pullback hit bitcoin miner Riot Platforms hard: shares slid nearly 8% after a large bitcoin sale by the company came to light, and the stock was down another 3.7% i

Robinhood shares have surged roughly 30% over the past month, fueled by strong retail trading activity and a wave of bullish analyst coverage. BTIG initiated the stock at Buy with a $125 target, and Goldman Sachs raised its target to $121 after record June activity across event contracts, options, equities and crypto. At its 'The World is Flat' event, the company publicly launched Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 network built on Arbitrum for tokenized real-world assets, alongside
