Top 3 US Stock Market Stories From This Week

US stocks fell this week as investors reacted to disappointing Big Tech earnings, oil above $100 and sharp swings in semiconductor shares.  The Nasdaq lost around 2% between July 19 and July 25. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, while the Dow dropped 0.4%. Technology stocks faced the heaviest pressure.  Here are the three biggest US stock market stories retail traders need to know.  Big Techs AI Bill Shakes Wall Street  Tesla and Alphabet triggered a broad technology sell-off after their earnings reports raised concerns about the cost of AI investment.  Tesla shares fell 14.5% after the company reported negative free cash flow for the first time in more than two years. Investors also remained concerned about weaker vehicle demand and the cost of funding new products.  Alphabet dropped 7% after raising its expected 2026 capital spending to around $200 billion. The company reported strong cloud growth, but the higher spending forecast overshadowed those gains.  Tesla Stock Price Chart.

The market has rewarded companies that spend heavily on AI. However, investors now want clearer evidence that this spending will produce stronger profits.  $100

The Harsh Reality of New Crypto: Just 7% of Major Tokens Beat Their Launch Price

Almost every high-value cryptocurrency launched since 2024 is now worth less than it was at launch, according to analytics firm CryptoRank.  The firm tracked 113 coins since their token generation event (TGE) price, with only 8 of them now above that price, a median return of -95.7%.  The sample is limited to projects with a market capitalization above $100 million as of July 21, CryptoRank told CryptoPotato.  CryptoRank Study: Eight Exceptions to the Rule  Eight coins included in the survey are in profit, led by HYPE, ONDO, EVA, and NIGHT.  Hyperliquid‘s HYPE was up 1,519% from its launch price at the time of the survey’s publication on July 21st. Ondo Finances ONDO followed at 101.4%, with EverValue Coin (EVA) and Midnight Network (NIGHT) up a more modest 20.3% and 16.5% respectively.  These figures are revealing, as we can see that even among those that are up, only a small handful showed outsized performance, with six of the eight achieving double-digit increases at best. Its worth noting that HYPE was also listed in the new S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index, which excluded many high-performing crypto assets, including Bitcoin.  Why the Decline?  CryptoRank states that sell-offs, thin liquidity, and regulatory uncertainty were the main causes of major drawdowns in these

Why Coin98s Wallet Health Checker Might Be The Feature Every Crypto Holder Is Missing

Ive lost track of how many people I know who obsessively check their portfolio value every single day on Coin98 and have never once checked whether their wallet itself is actually safe.   That gap is exactly what pushed me to dig into Coin98‘s Wallet Health feature, and after going through it myself, I think it’s solving a problem most wallets have quietly ignored for years.  A Decade Of Growth Behind The Feature  Before getting into what Wallet Health actually does, I think its worth understanding the scale of the platform building it. Coin98 has grown to more than 10 million users across over 170 countries, a footprint that includes over 1 million Android downloads, more than 90,000 Chrome extension users, and over 4,000 App Store ratings in Vietnam alone. Those numbers measure different things, but together they paint a picture of genuinely global distribution rather than concentrated growth in a single region  What I find more telling than the raw user count is the trajectory. Coin98 went from 200,000-plus users in 2021, to supporting more than 40 chains by 2022, to over 8 million users by 2023, to more than 130 networks by 2024. In 2026, that growth has turned into something broader:

XRP Price Prediction Eyes $20 but Smart Wallets Are Loading 150x Entries First, Pepetos Binance Listing Trigger Approaches as the CLARITY Act Vote Lands This Week

This is a press release sponsored content. BlockchainReporter did not write, edit, or verify this content.  Most people tracking the XRP price prediction are watching the wrong number. XRP traded at $0.006 in early 2017 and reached $3.84 by January 2018, a run that turned small wallets into retirement accounts inside nine months. That story is market history now, but the conditions that created it are not as rare as people think.  While Ripple secures full MiCA approval across 30 European countries and XRP breaks out of a symmetrical triangle with a 5% daily surge, Pepeto at $0.0000001884 is building the return distance that XRPs $70 billion market cap makes impossible from here.  XRP Price Prediction Strengthens After MiCA Approval and Triangle Breakout  Ripple secured full MiCA regulatory approval across 30 European countries, per FX Leaders. XRP broke out of a month-long symmetrical triangle on July 21 with a 5% daily surge, and the CLARITY Act faces its Senate vote on July 23.  Spot XRP ETFs have pulled in $1.48 billion since November 2025, per The Crypto Times. But from $1.13, even the most aggressive forecasts measure returns in single-digit multiples across years, and that is exactly why capital looking for real speed keeps landing

8x faster than US cash: The $1T network settling millions while banks sleep on weekends

Stablecoin supply has roughly doubled since January 2024, while entity-adjusted transaction volume has grown fourfold to fivefold, according to Coinbase Institutional, opening a wide gap between the amount of dollar liquidity held onchain and the volume of activity that liquidity supports.  Market capitalization records the stock of stablecoins in circulation, which captures available liquidity, reserve demand, and issuer scale. Transaction throughput, on the other hand, records how intensively those tokens move through exchanges, payment systems, treasury accounts, and settlement workflows.  A system holding $500 billion that moves infrequently offers greater capacity than one holding $250 billion, but the smaller system can support more economic activity when each dollar changes hands repeatedly. Stablecoins are now moving toward that second model, where network value increasingly reflects how much can be settled with the existing pool of digital dollars.  Coinbases indexed comparison shows the shift clearly: stablecoin market capitalization has roughly doubled from its January 2024 level, while adjusted transaction volume has grown several times faster. Monthly adjusted volume has climbed from a few hundred billion dollars in 2023 to well above $1 trillion in recent months, indicating that each unit of supply is circulating more frequently.  Supply captured stablecoins exchange era  Market capitalization became the standard adoption

Triple-A Suffers Suspected $9.7M Wallet Exploit.

Triple-A reportedly lost over $9.7M after attackers drained hot wallets across multiple chains.Stolen assets were swapped and bridged to Ethereum before consolidation into one wallet.Triple-A had not confirmed the breach or disclosed whether customer funds were affected.  Triple-A, a crypto payment infrastructure provider, has reportedly suffered a suspected hot wallet exploit that drained more than $9.7 million across multiple blockchain networks.  Blockchain security firms and on-chain analysts said the stolen assets were swapped, bridged to Ethereum, and consolidated into a single wallet, while the company had not confirmed the incident at publication.  Security Researchers Trace Funds Across Multiple Networks  On-chain analyst Specter first identified suspicious transactions involving wallets linked to Triple-A. The analyst initially estimated losses exceeding $9.3 million before later updates pushed the suspected total above $9.7 million.  Blockchain security firm PeckShield later confirmed the findings. It reported that attackers drained crypto assets from hot wallets operating across TRON, Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum.  Earlier tracking also linked the suspicious activity to Solana and TON, suggesting the compromise affected multiple blockchain ecosystems.  According to investigators, the attacker rapidly swapped the stolen assets before bridging them to Ethereum. The funds were then consolidated into a single Ethereum address holding approximately 5,227 ETH, valued at roughly $9.7 million during
