Bitcoin Hits New Highs

Bitcoin surged past $109,000 after new inflows into ETFs and bullish political momentum. The recent endorsement of digital assets by former President Trump, along with the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative, has driven a flood of institutional interest. Ethereum, Solana, and DeFi tokens also posted solid gains, with names like StormX and Humanity Protocol up over 100% in the last 24 hours.

Robinhood Unveils Tokenized Equities in Europe

Robinhood shares jumped over 13% after the company launched its new tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs platform across the EU. The blockchain-based rollout marks a significant move into the digital assets space, making traditional equities tradeable 24/7. Investors are now watching for regulatory responses from the SEC and other U.S. bodies.

Tesla Rebounds Despite Delivery Miss

Tesla delivered 384,000 vehicles in Q2, down 14% year-over-year, but shares moved higher as focus shifted to the company’s upcoming robotaxi event in Austin. Analysts and investors are betting on autonomous revenue streams as a long-term bullish thesis.

The stock was slightly lower as investors weighed the short-term impact of the restructuring.

Apple Gets Cautious Upgrade

Apple was upgraded to “hold” by Jefferies, citing strength in China and long-term AI upside. However, the firm flagged growing risks related to tariffs and ongoing supply chain pressure. Apple shares rose modestly during the session and remain up more than 15% year-to-date.

Altcoin and ETF Developments

The crypto market saw a wave of altcoin momentum. Ethereum and XRP both moved higher, while excitement built around the first Solana staking ETF set to launch later this month. Coinbase also announced a listing for Wormhole (W), further highlighting cross-chain integration themes in the market.

Market Outlook

The S&P 500 has now recovered more than 5% year-to-date, with analysts citing continued strength in tech and healthcare. This was one of the quickest recoveries from a 15%+ drop in history. Technicals are bullish—such as the recent “golden cross” (50-day surpassing 200-day average), which historically leads to further gains in ~73% of casesMacro risks remain, including potential new tariffs, elevated inflation, and political uncertainty heading into Q4.
