In a recent CNBC interview, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee expressed optimism about the stock market, pointing to strong business resilience despite pandemic challenges, rate hikes, and tariffs. He noted that the 10-Year yield at 4% is manageable for businesses and the economy, with potential upside from deregulation, tax cuts, and improved trade partnerships. Lee emphasized that despite a flat market performance year-to-date, many stocks—including Tesla and the ‘Magnificent 7’ tech giants—present buying opportunities. The S&P 500’s current level suggests room for growth, making this an attractive time for investors to capitalize on undervalued assets.

Features like XRPL Hooks enable lightweight programmable transactions, making decentralized lending and yield farming more efficient. Additionally, XRPL has real-world adoption, with companies like Amazon and Walmart reportedly using it, and strong backing from institutions like SBI Holdings. Regulatory advantages in regions like the UAE and EU further bolster XRP’s global DeFi prospects.

Apple has reached a $95 million settlement to resolve claims that its Siri voice assistant recorded conversations without the ‘Hey Siri’ wake word and potentially shared data with third parties. Eligible U.S. residents who owned qualifying Apple devices between 2014 and 2024 can claim up to $20 per device (max $100 per household) by submitting proof by July 2, 2025. The lawsuit stems from a 2019 report revealing contractors accessed private recordings, including sensitive discussions. While Apple denies wrongdoing, the settlement mandates deletion of pre-2019 Siri recordings and reflects growing scrutiny over AI privacy. Similar cases have targeted Google and Amazon, highlighting broader concerns about voice assistant data practices.

Bitcoin (BTC) is drawing comparisons to Amazon’s (AMZN) historic stock growth, with analysts suggesting it could exceed gold’s $22 trillion market cap. After rebounding from $74k to $93k, BTC aims to surpass its all-time high of $109k, driven by macroeconomic factors and scarcity—only 165,000 BTC will be mined in 2025. Experts like Bitwise’s Matt Hougan argue Bitcoin’s four-year cycle has shifted from halving events to broader economic forces, aligning it with Amazon’s trajectory. Institutional investors acquired 95,000 BTC in Q1 2025, while Bitget’s Gracy Chen predicts Bitcoin will overtake gold’s market cap soon. Analysts project prices could reach $155k–$250k, fueled by decoupling from gold and accumulation phases.
