Alphabet jumps +8% after the Antitrust ruling in the USA

Alphabet jumps +8% after the Antitrust ruling in the USA

The post Alphabet jumps +8% after the Antitrust ruling in the USA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Alphabet achieved a single-session increase of over 8% following the federal ruling on September 2, 2025 in the antitrust case involving Google. As reported by Reuters, the stock reached an intraday high of $231.31 and closed around $229, buoyed by the perception that the imposed remedies are targeted and not punitive. The original lawsuit was filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in January 2020, with the DOJ’s official statement initiating the Justice Department proceedings. According to the data collected by our market analysis team, the intraday peak at $231.31 was accompanied by trading volumes significantly above the weekly average. Industry analysts note that the remedies indicated in the ruling significantly reduce the immediate risk of a break-up, while imposing compliance requirements that could result in additional operational costs in the medium term. Immediate Market Impact: Key Numbers 8% intraday increase on GOOGL, peaking at $231.31. Closing around $229, with trading volumes high compared to the weekly average. Trend YTD: since the beginning of the year, Alphabet has shown an outperformance compared to part of the S&P 500, with weekly volatility increasing after the ruling. Break-up risk mitigated in the short term. Default Research Agreements: What Remains and What Changes The court did not impose an absolute ban on default search agreements. An interesting aspect is that Google will be able to continue paying to maintain the position of default search engine on Apple devices, while leaving the door open for possible future revisions. The decision ensures a certain contractual stability in the short term, but also leaves a margin of regulatory uncertainty regarding potential new restrictions. Transparency and data: the obligations indicated by the court to Google The decision aims for greater transparency and better access to technical data on the quality of search results. Among the measures included…

ChatGPT-5 explains how to make $5,000 from Nvidia stock in 5 years

ChatGPT-5 explains how to make $5,000 from Nvidia stock in 5 years

The post ChatGPT-5 explains how to make $5,000 from Nvidia stock in 5 years appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, and according to analysis by ChatGPT-5, an investor can realistically target $5,000 in profits within the next five years. The AI model noted that the path to this goal lies mainly in price appreciation rather than dividend income.  Notably, NVDA stock is targeting the $200 mark, with shares closing at $170.62 in the last trading session, representing a year-to-date increase of more than 23%. NVDA YTD stock price chart. Source: Finbold Initially, ChatGPT-5 considered dividends as a possible contributor toward the $5,000 goal. The company pays a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share, or $0.04 annually. That translates to a yield of just 0.023% at a stock price of $170, making it one of the lowest-yielding blue-chip equities on the market. Even if Nvidia were to raise payouts by 10% annually, holding 100 shares for five years would generate only about $30 to $35 in dividends. On a larger 300-share stake, the total would still fall below $100, showing how little dividends add to overall returns. The Nvidia capital appreciation route Instead, according to the OpenAI tool, the real driver is capital appreciation. Under conservative assumptions of a 10% annual growth rate, Nvidia’s stock could surge from $170 to around $275 in five years.  Therefore, a $17,000 investment of 100 shares would yield nearly $10,900 in combined profits, while a smaller 50-share stake costing $8,500 would still generate $5,000. On the other hand, a moderate growth scenario of 20% annually would push Nvidia’s share price toward $425, with 100 shares producing more than $25,000 in gains. In that case, just 20 shares, worth about $3,400 today, would deliver the $5,000 target.  Under a more aggressive 30% growth rate, the stock could reach $630,…

U.S. CFTC Gives Go-Ahead for Polymarket’s New Exchange, QCX

U.S. CFTC Gives Go-Ahead for Polymarket’s New Exchange, QCX

The post U.S. CFTC Gives Go-Ahead for Polymarket’s New Exchange, QCX appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has freed up prediction market firm Polymarket’s QCX acquisition from certain disclosure and data requirements as the company moves forward in its U.S. business offerings. QCX, which got its license to start operations in July before it was snatched up later that month by Polymarket, has been granted a “no-action letter” from the CFTC, allowing it to operate in specifically defined ways without drawing enforcement attention. The firm was acquired by Polymarket in hopes of its official return to U.S. business, which it was forced to abandon in 2022 under direction from the regulator. Polymarket has since emerged from earlier federal investigative interest as the U.S. government has eased its tense relationship with this sector, and companies — also including rival Kalshi — have been given more free rein. The field, as a result, has begun to explode in visibility and usage. Wednesday’s decision from two relevant divisions within the CFTC — at the staff level and not a commission ruling — “is similar to previous no-action positions taken with respect to reporting certain binary options transactions and similar transactions,” the agency noted. The letter doesn’t explicitly address prediction markets, but it notes its position on the “recordkeeping regulations for event contracts.” Though he hasn’t been confirmed by the U.S. Senate, yet, President Donald Trump’s nominee to run the CFTC, former Commissioner Brian Quintenz, has close ties to Kalshi as a board member and told lawmakers that the binary event contracts offered at such firms are appropriate “hedging tools.” Even without his arrival, the agency has been taking a friendlier stance, with Acting Chairman Caroline Pham saying the CFTC has let itself get bogged down in a “sinkhole of legal uncertainty” as it pursued legal cases against the industry.

US Fed to Host Public Forum on Future of Digital Payments

US Fed to Host Public Forum on Future of Digital Payments

The U.S. Federal Reserve has announced that it will host a Payments Innovation Conference in October. The gathering will explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the financial system. Regulators, academics, technology experts, and financial institutions participate in a full day of panels and discussions. Notably, the event will cover some of the most debated innovations in the industry. These include stablecoin business models, tokenization of assets and services, the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance, and the role of artificial intelligence in payments. According to the Fed, the conference will also provide an opportunity for industry leaders to share perspectives on the opportunities and risks in these technologies. Fed’s Emphasis on Safety and Efficiency In a statement announcing the event, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that innovation has always been a driving force in payments. He noted that consumers and businesses are demanding faster, safer, and more flexible options. As a result, regulators must evaluate new approaches. Waller added that the conference would serve as a platform for exchanging ideas. These discussions will center on enhancing the security and efficiency of the payment system. Importantly, the Fed confirmed that the proceedings will be livestreamed and made publicly available on its website. This move ensures transparency and provides wider access to the debates. Policy Shifts Signal Openness to Crypto The Fed’s decision to organize such a forum comes amid a noticeable change in its policy stance toward digital assets. Earlier this year, the central bank withdrew guidance that had discouraged banks from engaging in crypto and stablecoin activities. It also ended special supervisory programs that were tasked with overseeing banks involved in cryptocurrency businesses. Additionally, the removal of the “reputational risk” classification from bank examinations is also a step toward normalizing banking relationships with crypto firms.  These moves have been welcomed by industry participants who argued that prior rules effectively led to “crypto debanking.” Stablecoins Gaining Recognition in Policy Circles Stablecoins remain one of the most discussed areas of innovation. The minutes from the July meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) suggested that fiat-pegged stablecoins could play a useful role in enhancing payment efficiency. Committee members also observed that greater adoption of stablecoins could increase demand for high-quality collateral, particularly U.S. Treasury securities. This marks a significant acknowledgment from the Fed that such digital instruments may complement the existing financial system rather than pose a threat to it. By spotlighting stablecoins and tokenization, the Fed is signaling that it sees these technologies as more than passing trends. Instead, they are building blocks of the future financial system, capable of reducing friction in cross-border transactions, improving settlement speed, and opening new avenues for financial inclusion.
