Chinnapong/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Coinbase Global ( COIN ) and Better Home & Finance Holding ( BETR ) on Thursday announced the launch of token-backed mortgages. Token-backed mortgages, which will be originated and serviced by Better Home & Finance, are set to benefit from the same backing of Fannie Mae ( FNMA ) as other conforming mortgages. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and USDC ( USDC-USD ) pledges are powered by Coinbase. The product enables Americans who qualify for a mortgage with BETR to pledge Bitcoin or Circle Internet Group's ( CRCL ) USDC as collateral to fund their cash down payment. The benefits include if BTC drops in value, the mortgage terms remain unchanged, and no additional collateral is required. Token-backed mortgages let borrowers secure standard conforming mortgages without liquidating tokenized assets or potentially triggering a taxable event. "Better was founded to make homeownership more accessible for all Americans, and this partnership with Coinbase introduces a new pathway to realizing the American Dream for the 52 million Americans who own digital assets," said BETR CEO Vishal Garg.

victorpr/iStock via Getty Images By Charlotte de Montpellier , Senior Economist, France and Switzerland Sentiment is deteriorating The business climate in France remained stable in March, at 97, but has now been below its long‑term average for almost two years. Responses were collected by INSEE between 26 February and 23 March. However, the vast majority of firms responded before mid‑March, at a time when the repercussions of the conflict in the Middle East were still limited compared with the current situation. Nearly one-fifth of responses date from before the outbreak of the conflict. As expected, the business climate deteriorated sharply in industry, losing three points over the month. Past production, production expectations, and order books are all down. This deterioration is mainly driven by the “other transport equipment” sector, which had been one of the main engines of French production in recent months but is now markedly more pessimistic. At the same time, selling price expectations in the industry rose sharply over the month. Sentiment remains very depressed in services due to a more negative assessment of past activity. By contrast, the business climate edged up slightly in retail trade and construction. The employment climate improved by one point but remains well below its long‑term average. Household confidence also declined in March, falling by two points over the month. Although only half of survey responses were collected after the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East, households are anticipating a very sharp rise in prices in the coming months. The corresponding balance of opinion jumped by 28 points and reached its highest level since September 2022. Households are also markedly more pessimistic about the future evolution of their personal financial situation. Overall, the data published today confirm that French economic prospects have deteriorated significantly since the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East. Given the survey col...

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) sits at the center of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, and the company's latest bombshell announcement should amplify the hype around the semiconductor powerhouse. At its recent GTC event, CEO Jensen Huang revealed a $1 trillion order pipeline for the company's Blackwell and Vera Rubin chip architectures through 2027. This figure is twice the size of the prior forecast, as at last year's conference, Huang spoke about anticipated sales of about $500 billion total across 2025 and 2026. This only serves to underscore the explosive demand for chips from the hyperscalers moving at light speed to build out AI infrastructure. Nevertheless, Nvidia stock has barely budged in response to this news. This disconnect raises a curious question: Given the chipmaker's monumental potential, why aren't investors embracing the growth narrative? Continue reading

It's been a rough week to own Micron (NASDAQ: MU) stock. Beginning with a powerful earnings report ( that strangely failed to wow investors ) one week ago, Micron stock has been sliding for six straight sessions.

Earnings Call Insights: 22nd Century Group (XXII) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Lawrence Firestone presented 2025 as a transition year, emphasizing the closure of legacy business issues, reduction in manufacturing overhead, and the payoff of all structured debt. He highlighted the launch of new brands and products, stating, “We are now in the market with our VLN combustible cigarette products and smoking consumers are finding our products in 1,636 retail outlets in 23 states.” Firestone indicated a strategic focus on expanding distribution and forming partnerships, noting, “We welcome other brands to join the battle and introduce a VLN concept within their own brands… they could license our VLN brand and use it within their brand lineup.” Firestone described regulatory advances, including the MRTP renewal application filed with the FDA in December 2025, and discussed ongoing international dialogues. Looking ahead, Firestone announced, “We now have over $10 million in cash on the balance sheet to implement our strategy” and outlined plans to add distribution points in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and California, as well as the launch of Pinnacle Pure, a new tobacco and water style cigarette. CFO Daniel Otto reported, “During the year, we exited several unprofitable high-volume revenue streams and focused our resources on building the foundation for growth in our reduced nicotine VLN cigarette portfolio and partner VLN brands.” Otto added, “In the fourth quarter of 2025, we shipped approximately 8,800 cartons of newly branded VLN and partner VLN to our customers… These products remain central to our strategy as they typically generate gross profit margin in the range of 20% to 30%.” Outlook Management projects revenue to remain consistent in Q1 2026 before sequential growth as additional distribution points are added. Otto stated, “We estimate increasing current store count by more than double by the end of 2026.” Firestone referenced the plan to expand marketing and tr...
