GameStop has signaled a dramatic strategic shift, transferring its entire Bitcoin treasury to crypto exchange Coinbase Prime as CEO Ryan Cohen declares that pursuing “transformative” acquisitions is now “way more compelling than Bitcoin.” The move, involving 4,710 BTC valued at approximately $362 million, raises immediate questions about a potential sale and marks a significant turn for the meme-stock pioneer that had embraced cryptocurrency as a core treasury asset. This pivot comes as the company returns to profitability and its shares surged over 8% following Cohen’s announcement, highlighting investor focus on its next chapter beyond digital asset speculation.

A high-stakes Miami conference for cryptocurrency and meme stock traders was forced into a last-minute name change after Reddit asserted its trademark rights over the “WallStreetBets” brand, the latest development in a protracted legal and cultural battle between the social media platform and the subreddit’s founder, Jaime Rogozinski. The event, which charges up to $10,000 per ticket and features convicted financial fraudsters as speakers, underscores the volatile intersection of online financial populism, crypto institutional interest, and intellectual property disputes.

Five years after the GameStop trading frenzy forced Robinhood to restrict purchases, CEO Vlad Tenev points to tokenization as the solution that could have prevented the crisis, blaming outdated settlement infrastructure. However, financial experts counter that traditional brokerages navigated similar surges without incident, suggesting Robinhood’s own capital and risk management shortcomings were the true bottleneck. As the SEC reiterates that tokenized securities must adhere to existing laws, the debate highlights the tension between technological innovation and fundamental financial safeguards.

Beyond Meat shares have plummeted from their recent peak after an astonishing 1,435% surge over six days, testing the resilience of a retail-driven meme stock phenomenon reminiscent of GameStop’s 2021 mania. The plant-based food company’s stock, which reached a high of $7.69 on Wednesday before falling 53.45% to $3.58 by market close and continuing to decline to $2.91, represents both the explosive potential and extreme volatility of social media-fueled trading movements. As analysts debate whether this is a healthy correction or the beginning of the end for the speculative rally, the fundamental weaknesses of Beyond Meat—including never having turned a profit since going public and recently conducting a debt swap that heavily diluted equity—cast doubt on the sustainability of its recent gains.
