U.S. banking giant says Meta among best stocks to buy right now

The post Meta rejects EU finding that Facebook, Instagram use addictive design appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Meta has pushed back on what the European Commission recently said about a preliminary finding that showed that Instagram and Facebook broke EU law with features built to keep users scrolling. The finding, which was published on July 10 and looked into what the commission refers to as the “addictive design” of the two apps under the Digital Services Act (DSA), could expose the company to fines worth up to 6% of its global annual turnover and force design changes across both platforms. Features like the infinite scroll, video autoplay, push notifications, and the platforms’ personalized recommender systems are being pointed out as part of the core problem.  According to the Commission, these features “shift the brain into autopilot mode,” and it says that Meta failed to properly weigh their effect on users’ physical and mental health. A Meta spokesperson stated that the co

The post Meta insiders sold 150 times and bought zero in the last six months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Meta (Nasdaq:META) executives and directors have unloaded roughly $130 million of company stock over the past six months. Across the same half year, they have bought exactly zero shares. That selling might have been more palatable if they had, as executives and directors, helped the stock price go up over that time period. They did not. META, trading on the Nasdaq, is worth less today than it was six months ago. Worse, their stock sales clustered near the higher range of 2026, months before an AI spending spree knocked the stock down. Since the start of the year, the company has lost $60 billion in market capitalization.

The post A $1,000 investment in June’s top quantum computing IPO is now worth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While Elon Musk’s other trillion-dollar company drew the bulk of attention, SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) was not the only exciting technology stock to hit the public markets in June 2026. Specifically, the quantum computing company Quantinuum (NASDAQ: QNT) launched on June 4 with an initial public offering (IPO) price of $60 per share, which turned into $68 already at the morning bell but then dipped to $60.38 by the evening. At press time in the July 10 pre-market, however, QNT equity is worth substantially more: $74 following a 0.67% extended session rally from $73.51 at the latest close.  Under the circumstances, $1,000 invested at either the IPO price or close to the June 4 closing bell would have turned into $1,233.30 for $233.30 in profits, simultaneously making it a superior investment to SpaceX stock.

New Hampshire just killed what would have been a genuinely groundbreaking experiment in state-government crypto finance. The New Hampshire bitcoin bond — a $100 million instrument that had already cleared a formal credit rating from one of Wall Street’s most recognized agencies — died at the final hurdle when the state’s Executive Council voted 3-2 to reject it, siding with members who raised concerns about the state’s financial reputation.

The post Peter Schiff Flags STRC Discount as Bitcoin Return Debate Grows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Schiff links STRC’s discount to weaker Wall Street confidence in Bitcoin targets today. Parker sees STRC beating Bitcoin if dividends hold and shares return to par soon enough. Strategy may avoid Bitcoin sales, though buybacks could still reduce cash reserves. Economist and market commentator Peter Schiff has challenged Wall Street’s confidence in Bitcoin. He pointed to STRC’s market price as evidence. Schiff said bullish BTC targets do not match STRC’s discount, which he believes reflects dividend-cut risk. In an X post, he said Wall Street is not putting its money where its mouth is. In his view, banks do not appear to believe Bitcoin can rise even 12% per year. Wall Street refuses to put its money where its mouth is. Despite outlandish price targets for Bitcoin, big banks don’t even believe Bitcoin will rise 12% per year. If they did, $STRC would be trading near $100. Instea
