Gen Z are investing like Boomers – with some surprising portfolio decisions

Like fashion, investing eventually finds something embarrassing in the back of the wardrobe and puts it on again. Millennial-era crypto gave us yield-bearing dog coins and all kinds of food-themed financial contraptions. Now Gen Z has entered the market in JNCO jeans, carrying an ironic digicam and, in at least one corner of the market, displaying a positively parental interest in conventional investments.　　Related Company Binance Global crypto exchange　　The jeans are super low again, and apparently their tolerance for portfolio risk is, too.　　Binance Researchs Aug. 12 report looked at how different generations use the exchanges direct equities, tokenized bStocks, and TradFi perpetuals. The youngest users werent the ones constantly reaching for leverage or flipping positions. Across all three products, Gen Z was the lowest-turnover working-age cohort. The findings cover Binance users over a short period; its direct-equity product only reached scale in June 2026.　　The most traditional-est, conservativ-est, unimaginativest portfolios in crypto, believe it or not, may belong to zoomers.　　A rebellion with an expense ratio　　The easiest place to see the difference is in ETFs.　　ETFs accounted for 25% of Gen Zs direct-equity trading volume in the first days of August, up from 14.6% in June. Millennials were at just 9.5% in early August,

Bitcoin Owner Turns $324 Stack Into $8 Million After Nearly 15 Years – Bitcoin News

Key TakeawaysTwo old bitcoin holders woke up Saturday, moving 200 BTC worth more than $16 million combined.Bitcoins 2011 holder watched roughly $324 grow into $8 million, a paper gain topping 2.46 million%.Bitgo received the 2013 miners 100 BTC, but whether those coins are headed for sale remains unknown.　　Bitcoin From 2011 and 2013 Suddenly Stirs　　September has logged a slew of unique sleeping bitcoin wallets from ancient days, and Sept. 19 was no different. Before the 2011 wallet, a distinct group of four legacy Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) wallets shifted 25 BTC each. All four transfers were confirmed at block height 967722.　　All the wallets were either first created in February or March 2013. Bitcoin prices were all over the place during those two months, and the Cyprus banking crisis reached its absolute peak in March. On March 1, bitcoin traded for $32 per coin, and by the 31st of that same month in 2013, it was trading for $91.95. Market data shows that these four P2PKH addresses paid very little for the 100 BTC.　　Then, ten blocks later, at block 967732, an even older wallet moved 100 BTC from an address born on Nov. 2, 2011. This was a single transaction, and the 100 BTC

WIF price prediction — Here's why a pullback may be next despite 13% hike

As capital rotated into Solana memecoins over the last 24 hours, dogwifhat [WIF] recorded daily gains of 13.14% on the price charts. The timing here is interesting, especially since the Solana memecoin sector also gained by nearly 6%.　　WIF benefited greatly from this rotation as its trading volume jumped by 95.16% to $105.8 million over the same period.　　What does this mean though？ Well, this might just be evidence of traders developing an appetite for higher-risk ecosystem tokens.　　Worth pointing out, however, that the sharp increase in participation did meet some resistance. Hence, the question: Is the rally sustainable？　　WIFs rebound runs into familiar hurdle　　On the daily chart, dogwifhat [WIF] rebounded from the $0.1758-region towards $0.2157, but buyers failed to push through this resistance. Notably, the barrier capped previous recovery attempts, making another price rejection significant for the short-term structure.　　More importantly, the RSI indicator formed a bearish convergence around the 62.85-zone as the price met rejection.　　Notably, each recent RSI approach towards this threshold zone aligned with WIF hitting the upper range, before a subsequent price retreat.　　At the time of writing, the RSI stood at 58.82, after retreating from the higher 62.85-zone. The repeated convergence between the indicators RSI resistance and price pullbacks could strengthen

Why Trump backed a crypto ethics rule that stopped at the family business

Washington came surprisingly close this week to writing a dollar amount into one of its thorniest crypto ethics rule debates.　　Under the final Senate draft of the CLARITY Act, senior federal officials holding equity worth at least $15,000 in certain businesses that issue or sponsor digital assets would have had to sell that interest or place it into a qualified blind trust. Their spouses would have faced the same restriction, but their adult children wouldnt.　　The bill failed to advance on Sept. 15, so none of this became law. But the language is revealing because CLARITY was primarily supposed to establish who regulates crypto markets and under what rules. By the end of the negotiations, Congress was also trying to decide where a government official‘s crypto fortune ends and the family’s begins. Republicans said the final draft incorporated most of a bipartisan ethics proposal and dozens of changes requested by Democrats, while several Democrats still argued that the protections didnt go far enough.　　Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick shows why those distinctions matter in real life.　　Lutnick spent decades running Cantor Fitzgerald, one of Wall Street‘s major trading and investment firms, before joining President Donald Trump’s Cabinet in February 2025. Cantor also became deeply embedded

Brian Armstrong Says WSJ Will Blame Coinbase for CLARITY's Collapse

Key TakeawaysBrian Armstrong said on Sept. 19 the WSJ is preparing a story blaming Coinbase for the CLARITY Acts defeat.The bill failed a Senate cloture vote on Sept. 15, and bitcoin ETFs shed $450 million the same day.Armstrong says the SEC and CFTC can now set crypto rules under existing authority, without Congress.　　A Pre-Emptive Strike　　Armstrong did not wait for the alleged article to come out; instead, he took to X and aired his thoughts, stating:　　“Here we go again!. The WSJ is working on a story blaming Coinbase and me personally for the CLARITY Act not passing.”　　He then went a step further, accusing the paper of “regurgitating bank lobby talking points” and claiming the Journal “takes direction from bank lobbyists instead of reporting the truth.”　　As of Saturday, the outlet had not published the story Armstrong described, so its actual argument is still unknown. What is known is the record the paper would be drawing on, and Armstrong laid out his version of it in what he called “the boring TLDR.”　　What Happened in January？　　The case against Armstrong starts on Jan. 14, when on the eve of a scheduled Senate Banking Committee markup, he announced that Coinbase could not support the draft bill,

Bitcoin ETF inflows: Fidelity leads $433M Friday

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew $433 million of net inflows on Friday, Sept. 18, according to Farside Investors. The session extended the markets rebound to a second day, but it did not fully repair the withdrawals recorded earlier in the week.　　In the Farside data, Fidelity‘s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, supplied $310.7 million on Friday. That was nearly 2.9 times the $108.4 million added by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known as IBIT. Bitwise‘s BITB, ARK 21Shares’ ARKB and VanEcks HODL also posted smaller positive flows, giving the session more than one meaningful source of demand.　　The issuer split marked a reversal from the earlier rebound. Mondays return to inflows was led by BlackRock, with Fidelity playing a secondary role. By Friday, Fidelity was the largest contributor while IBIT remained positive.　　Related Reading　　The $63 billion revolving door carrying the entire US Bitcoin ETF market　　Discover more　　Currencies & Foreign Exchange　　FINANCE　　Public Finance　　The broader two-day picture was less decisive.
