Nvidia Earnings Loom Large, BTC Traders Eye Correlation

Nvidia Earnings Loom Large, BTC Traders Eye Correlation

The post Nvidia Earnings Loom Large, BTC Traders Eye Correlation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The largest company in the world by market cap at $4.4 trilion, Nvidia (NVDA) reports earnings after the U.S. market close on Wednesday. Data from Bitcoindata21 on X shows that Nvidia earnings have historically correlated with a positive Bitcoin’s performance. Over the last 10 earnings reports since early 2023, when the current bull market began, bitcoin has posted positive price action following Nvidia results in 7 out of 10 instances. For the quarter, analysts expect Nvidia to report adjusted earnings per share of $1.01 on revenue of $46.2 billion. According to The Kobeissi Letter, the options market is pricing in a 6.1% post-earnings implied move in Nvidia. That translates to a potential swing of roughly $270 billion in market capitalization. It sounds large, but this would be the smallest implied swing since May 2023. Shares of Nvidia are up 30% year to date and 41% over the past year. It’s modestly lower in early Wednesday trading ahead of the quarterly results. Source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/08/27/nvidia-earnings-loom-large-with-bitcoin-traders-eyeying-correlation

BAY Miner Turns BTC, ETH, and XRP into Cash-Flowing Assets

BAY Miner Turns BTC, ETH, and XRP into Cash-Flowing Assets

The post BAY Miner Turns BTC, ETH, and XRP into Cash-Flowing Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. [London] August 2025—BAY Miner, a global crypto-finance innovation platform, today announced the official launch of a new asset management solution: the Idle Coins Activation Program. Designed specifically for holders of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP), this innovative tool helps convert long-term idle digital assets into sustainable cash flow, improving portfolio utilization. Industry insiders believe this initiative will not only accelerate the financialization of cryptocurrencies but also create new profit models for investors. As global demand for digital asset allocation continues to grow, traditional “buy and hold” (HODL) strategies are increasingly facing challenges with insufficient liquidity. BAY Miner leverages big data analysis and a low-risk, return-based strategy to ensure that idle BTC, ETH, and XRP no longer remain dormant in user wallets, but instead generate a steady stream of returns. This model not only ensures asset security but also provides holders with stable and diversified cash flow channels, and is considered a crucial tool for managing market fluctuations and optimizing long-term asset allocation. The Concept of Idle Coins Idle coins are cryptocurrencies that have been storing value for the long-term without being traded, staked, or lent. There are millions in BTC, ETH, and XRP just sitting and waiting. Remember that cryptocurrency prices do fluctuate and waiting usually leads to missed opportunities. BAY Miner makes this possible. Holders can convert these passive, idle coins into active, recurring revenue sources, in a secure and fully managed method through cloud mining. Why BAY Miner Is Different Instead of the high costs of equipment and electricity and cooling like conventional mining, BAY Miner takes the “hardware-free, mobile-first” approach where anyone can earn from crypto anywhere. The platform is built to be accessible, secure, and transparent, providing users with a true alternative in maximizing their digital assets. Key features include:…

A Quarter of UK Retirement Savers Open to Crypto

A Quarter of UK Retirement Savers Open to Crypto

The post A Quarter of UK Retirement Savers Open to Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A quarter of British adults polled said they’re open to crypto forming part of their retirement plans, suggesting that crypto could claim a larger share of the UK’s multitrillion-dollar pension fund market. UK insurance company Aviva said on Tuesday that its poll of 2,000 UK adults found 27% were open to crypto in their retirement funds, with just over 40% of those open to crypto saying they were motivated by the higher potential returns. The survey, which was conducted by Censuswide June 4-6, also found that 23% of all those polled said they would consider withdrawing part, or all, of their existing pension to invest in crypto. Crypto investments in UK retirement plans could see significantly more capital flow into the space, with over four in five UK adults holding pensions worth a total of 3.8 trillion British pounds ($5.12 trillion).  Still, UK adults have limited options for adding crypto to their retirement funds. The poll came as US President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this month permitting US 401(k) retirement plans to include Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies, opening access to more than $9 trillion in assets. Source: Cointelegraph A fifth of UK adults already dabbled in crypto Aviva said that around one in five surveyed, equivalent to about 11.6 million people, said they hold, or have held, crypto. About two-thirds said they still own crypto in some capacity. Nearly one-fifth of UK adults aged between 25 and 34 said they had already withdrawn pension funds to invest in crypto. Brits still concerned about crypto risks The respondents cited security risks, such as hacking and phishing attacks, and lack of regulation and protection of crypto as the biggest risk concerns at 41% and 37% respectively, while crypto volatility was flagged as the third-biggest worry at 30%.

Circle partners with Finastra to expand USDC’s role in cross border payments

Circle partners with Finastra to expand USDC’s role in cross border payments

The post Circle partners with Finastra to expand USDC’s role in cross border payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Circle and financial software giant Finastra announced Wednesday a partnership to integrate USDC stablecoin settlement into the backbone of global banking infrastructure, a move aimed at modernizing cross-border payments long plagued by high costs and delays. The collaboration will connect Finastra’s Global PAYplus (GPP) platform, which processes more than $5 trillion in daily cross-border transactions, to Circle’s payment infrastructure. Banks using GPP will gain the ability to settle transactions in USDC, a fully reserved and regulated stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, even when underlying instructions are denominated in traditional fiat currencies. Digital settlement models By offering a blockchain-based settlement layer within the existing payments ecosystem, the initiative seeks to reduce reliance on correspondent banking chains, which can take several days and add layers of fees. Instead, banks will be able to clear and settle transactions more quickly while still following compliance and foreign exchange processes. Finastra CEO Chris Walters said the partnership is designed to give banks an off-the-shelf option to test digital settlement. According to Walters: “By connecting Finastra’s payment hub to Circle’s stablecoin infrastructure, we can help our clients access innovative settlement options without the burden of building their own systems.” For Circle, whose USDC supply has grown into the tens of billions in circulation, the deal represents another step in embedding stablecoins directly into traditional finance. Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire said Finastra’s global network of clients makes the partnership a powerful channel to expand USDC adoption. Allaire added: “Together, we’re enabling financial institutions to test and launch innovative payment models that combine blockchain technology with the scale and trust of the existing banking system.” The announcement comes as regulators in the U.S., Europe, and Asia step up scrutiny of stablecoins while acknowledging their potential role in payment innovation. The ability to use a regulated…

S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report

S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report

The post S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The S&P 500 surged 0.2% on Wednesday as Wall Street waited for Nvidia Corporation’s earnings report, a key moment for this year’s stock rally. The chipmaker, now the largest stock in the index with roughly 8% weight, barely moved during the session, but traders held their positions tight. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 135 points, or 0.3%. The trading day was calm on the surface, but the pressure underneath was real. Investors didn’t want to change positions until they saw whether Nvidia’s numbers would support the recent gains in tech stocks or trigger a pullback. The earnings are seen as critical because Nvidia has become the face of the AI wave that’s driven much of the S&P 500’s gains this year. With a single stock now carrying that much weight, traders were waiting to react. The report is due after the market closes. Any surprise in those numbers will not just move Nvidia. It will hit the entire index. The trading session also reflected global uncertainty. Traders showed interest in euro options that profit if the currency gains. That demand, seen Tuesday, came even as speculation built around a possible confidence vote that could force the French government to collapse. French assets stayed under pressure, but the euro held up. This disconnect isn’t new. A similar situation played out last year, French stocks dropped, yields widened, but the euro barely moved. Euro weakens as dollar gains after Fed drama returns On Wednesday, the euro fell to a three-week low. Traders in Europe said month-end flows pushed up the U.S. dollar, which led to the euro’s decline. On Tuesday, the euro had gained 0.2% against the greenback, after news broke about political interference in the Federal Reserve. That news pushed the dollar lower temporarily.…

Why Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Could Jump 12x, Outshining Ripple (XRP) in 2025

Why Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Could Jump 12x, Outshining Ripple (XRP) in 2025

The post Why Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Could Jump 12x, Outshining Ripple (XRP) in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is generating unprecedented hype, projecting itself as a probable market disruptor in 2025. Mutuum Finance presale token price is $0.035 in phase 6. Experts say this new token can skyrocket with phenomenal profits in the coming few months. In phase 7, there will be an increase of 14.29% to $0.04. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has already received more than $15 million in funding and has been supported by over 15,700 investors.  Whereas Ripple (XRP) stays firm in its solid market position in the payment sector, Mutuum Finance is grabbing attention with its rapid ecosystem development and strategic partnerships.  XRP Grinds at $3.04 Amid Market Watch Ripple (XRP) is priced at $3.04, down modestly by 0.33% from the previous close. The token has maintained price above the $3.00 level, with the intraday high and low at $3.12 and $2.99, respectively. Analysts are monitoring XRP’s action closely, as it is reported that piercing above the $3.11 resistance level could pave the way for a potential rally to $3.40.  Conversely, failure to hold at levels above the $3.00 mark will mean a retraction towards the region of $2.80. Institutional buying continues to be robust, with XRP shortlisted for addition into upcoming cryptocurrency ETFs, which will further steer its price direction. Though XRP continues to be a dominant player in crypto, newcomers like Mutuum Finance (MUTM) are commanding attention with their revolutionary tactics in the decentralized finance realm. Investors FOMO into Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Stage 6 Presale Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is priced at $0.035 in stage 6 of presale.

Google’s blockchain team is building an XRP killer

Google’s blockchain team is building an XRP killer

The post Google’s blockchain team is building an XRP killer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Alphabet recently unveiled a new blockchain called the Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL), some features of which appear to put it in direct competition with Ripple Labs’ XRP Ledger (XRPL). The $2.5 trillion internet giant stamped its own brand on it and name-dropped other heavyweights on its debut, including the world’s largest options and futures exchange, CME. Like XRPL, GCUL will be a distributed base layer blockchain, allow API access, operate 24/7 with low latency, support programmable tokenization of assets, provide financial applications like payment automations, charge fees for transactions, support institutional infrastructure, facilitate global payments, and integrate with third-party wallets. This feature list, not to mention GCUL’s banking and payments focus, mirrors years of XRPL messaging. Indeed, a reader of Google’s documentation might become confused about whether certain paragraphs are describing GCUL or XRPL. For example, GCUL will power “the management of commercial bank money accounts and facilitate transfers via a distributed ledger, empowering financial institutions and intermediaries.” An enterprise blockchain focused on financial institutions Although XRP is the third most valuable digital asset, GCUL is created by and named after a top five company globally. And while the XRP Ledger and its backer Ripple are worth a few hundred billion dollars combined, Alphabet dwarfs that at $2.5 trillion. Moreover, not only does GCUL have the backing of a larger conglomerate, GCUL is already in a pilot program with the world’s largest options and futures exchange, CME. CME is already testing the tokenization of assets — perhaps commodities, options, or futures contracts — on the GCUL blockchain. CME has never tokenized anything on the XRPL.

Finastra and Circle Bring USDC Settlement to $5T Daily Cross-Border Payment Flows

Finastra and Circle Bring USDC Settlement to $5T Daily Cross-Border Payment Flows

Finastra, a financial services software firm, has announced a collaboration with Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL), a stablecoin firm, to allow banks to integrate USDC settlement into cross-border payment flows. In an announcement, the firm explains that this initiative will use Finastra’s payment hub solutions, including Global PAYplus (GPP), marking the first time Finastra will connect financial institutions to Circle’s payment infrastructure. The companies said the partnership will also allow for faster international transfers by combining Finastra’s banking network’s scalability with USDC’s stability and transparency. USDC Settlement Option Through this collaboration, Finastra’s GPP customers—already processing over $5 trillion in cross-border transactions daily—will be able to settle transactions in USDC, even when underlying payment instructions remain denominated in fiat currencies. This new option reduces reliance on traditional correspondent banking networks, allowing banks to accelerate settlement times without compromising compliance requirements or foreign exchange processes. Empowering Banks With New Options “This collaboration is about giving banks the tools they need to innovate in cross-border payments without having to build a standalone payment processing infrastructure,” said Chris Walters, CEO of Finastra. He explained that by linking Finastra’s payment hub to Circle’s blockchain-based settlement infrastructure, banks can explore payment models while maintaining operational continuity. Expanding USDC’s Global Role “Finastra’s reach and expertise in powering the payments infrastructure for leading banks worldwide makes them a natural choice to further expand USDC settlement in cross-border flows,” said Jeremy Allaire, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Circle. With stablecoin adoption gaining momentum, the Finastra-Circle partnership represents a major move in reshaping international payments. Circle Debuts Layer-1 Blockchain Arc Using USDC for Native Gas Earlier this month, Circle unveiled Arc, an open Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for stablecoin finance. This marks what the company calls a “defining moment” as it moves toward developing a full-stack internet financial platform. The announcement came alongside Circle’s fiscal Q2 2025 results, which showed substantial growth in its core business. Circle reported that USDC in circulation surged 90% year-over-year to $61.3 billion, reaching $65.2 billion as of August 10, 2025. Total revenue and reserve income grew 53% to $658 million, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 52% to $126 million. The company posted a net loss of $482 million, primarily due to $591 million in non-cash charges tied to its June IPO. That offering raised $1.2 billion, with 19.9 million newly issued shares sold at $31 each, generating $583 million in net proceeds. CEO Jeremy Allaire described the IPO as a “pivotal moment” for Circle and for the broader adoption of stablecoins, noting accelerating interest from global financial institutions and internet companies
