My best guess is that within a year Coinbase will either build or buy a traditional brokerage so that, like Robinhood, they can offer investors an all-in-one platform where stocks, ETFs and coins sit side by side. What do you think they will do? youtu.be/-zD5WFeklaY?...

getting scammed is part of the fun. I don't think you fully understand the mindset of a 22 year old with $300 to play with. They're looking for lottery-esque outcomes and laughs while they place bets.

Of all the mistakes Democrats made in 2024, missing the opportunity to court young people via support for crypto was one of the most obvious. I asked Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal and CFO Alesia Haas about this and more, watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zD5...

The S&P 500's rebound from April is now 26%, a move so extreme it's divided consumer sentiment in half - if you own stocks (top 30% of households), confidence is back. If you don't, sentiment is at the lows of '22. When people say "the consumer" is doing this or that, ask "which consumer?"

Asset prices - whether it’s stocks or houses or gold - can trend for a long time. Volatility, on the hand, doesn’t trend, it mean-reverts. People think it’s the opposite. These are just facts. Important reminder as we sit at new all-time highs. Follow The Compound for updates.

the Fed sets overnight rates, often in response to what investors are communicating via the pricing of the 2-year. The 5-year does what it wants. The 10-year is the main boss at the end of the level and the Fed cannot defeat it.

Jay Powell's job is not to assist fixed income investors. It's to balance the dual mandate of stable prices and full employment. Mostly none of this is under the Fed's control, even if they like to think it is. The universe decides, the Fed makes adjustments when and where it can.

Good morning. Nvidia is on the cusp of breaking above $4 trillion in market cap. At that level, it would be valued 36% higher than the entire British stock market (FTSE 100) and just 18% below the total value of Japan's Nikkei 225.
