Key Points High-volatility cryptocurrencies capable of huge price swings are most popular on prediction markets. The entry of Robinhood into prediction markets will likely focus investors on specific cryptocurrencies available within the Robinhood app. A positive feedback loop may exist between the prediction market and the crypto market, with investors more likely to buy cryptos with bullish future predictions. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › Over the past year, the interconnections between the prediction market and the crypto market have continued to grow. Top prediction market platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi now offer contracts that focus on specific cryptocurrencies and crypto-focused events. At the same time, they are expanding their use of blockchain technology to make more efficient markets. With that in mind, a handful of top cryptocurrencies might get a real boost from the booming prediction market. Let's take a closer look. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Demand is for high-volatility cryptocurrencies From the perspective of prediction market participants, the most interesting cryptocurrencies are those with high volatility. In other words, if a cryptocurrency is prone to sharp price swings up and down, then it's going to generate enormous interest. These cryptocurrencies are typically the subject of much interest in the media. That's why it's easiest to find prediction market contracts for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). While both are less volatile than they were even a few years ago, they are still boom-or-bust cryptos. Bitcoin might lose 64% of its value one year, then boom by 157% the next year, as it did in 2022-2023. This massive volatility gives market participants plenty of opportunities to predict the future price of Bitcoin. If you're a short-term trad...

Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Palantir Technologies ( PLTR ) surged about 11% premarket on Tuesday after fourth quarter results and outlook exceeded expectations, drawing positive reactions from analysts. "Palantir Technologies Inc. ( PLTR ) reported strong earnings results on Monday evening, easily beating estimates and showing accelerating business growth. The market reacted very positively to that, sending PLTR's shares higher. While shares have pulled back from the highs seen last summer, Palantir Technologies still is a pretty expensive stock -- which is why it's not a must-own, despite its strong growth," said Seeking Alpha analyst Jonathan Weber. Weber noted that looking at Palantir's fourth quarter report, there are many things to like, with almost every metric moving in the right direction, but added that Palantir's "valuation remains pretty high." The analyst noted that the company trades at roughly 50 times its sales and 90 times its operating profit today. "Depending on your risk tolerance and goals, I thus think that Palantir can either be considered a Hold or a Buy today -- it definitely looks better than last summer," Weber added. "To me, the most striking element of Palantir’s Q4 update was its initial guidance calling for >60% revenue growth in FY26 (while the Street had expected deceleration to ~40%). The company is also forecasting at least 115% growth in the U.S. commercial business. This should help to appease investors who are laser focused and worried on Palantir’s valuation multiples," said Seeking Alpha analyst Gary Alexander . The analyst noted that Palantir is expensive, "but it’s also in the very early stages of commercial monetization with <600 U.S. enterprise customers - indicating a long runway ahead. It’s also difficult to argue with Palantir’s efficiency, at a “Rule of 40” score of 127 in Q4 and forecasting >55% FCF margins for FY26."

RomoloTavani/iStock via Getty Images What I learned about the second leg up About a week ago, I wrote an article to caution potential investors to temper their FOMO (fear of missing out) on gold and silver at those price levels. At that time, both metals were trading near their ATH (all-time highs). My caution is rooted in the similarities I saw between today's market and the 1980 Hunt Brothers episode (aka Silver Thursday). For readers new to this part of the history, the following recap should bring you up to speed with the rest of this article: In January 1980, silver price peaked around $48 per ounce, representing a ~700% increase in a year (see the next chart below). The surge was largely driven by concentrated long positions, funded by substantial leverage by Nelson Bunker Hunt and William Herbert Hunt, collectively known as the Hunt brothers. The rally did not last, and the silver price fell (and gold prices too) sharply afterwards, causing heavy losses to the Hunt brothers and forcing them to declare bankruptcy later. In the next few days since that article, the market has experienced some of the most extreme volatilities these precious metals have seen. During intraday trading last Friday, Jan 30, 2026, SLV prices plummeted ~33% off their recent high, and GLD dropped more than 12%. The decline continued over the weekend in the futures market and also in Monday's trading as I am typing these lines. I certainly do not want to pretend I saw the above coming when I wrote that article. I actively run away from people who claim they can time the market. Fortunately, decades of experience have taught me that investors do not need timing to be successful. An assessment that is only directionally correct would be sufficient. Under this notion, the purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, I want to explain why my last thesis has largely run its course already with the corrections thus far. Secondly and subsequently, I want to stick my neck out again and make anot...

Daniel Grizelj/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis Crypto officially became an asset class for us when it got structured within the exchange-traded fund wrapper. Since the introduction of Bitcoin via the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF ( IBIT ), crypto has virtually exploded on traditional exchanges with leveraged and covered call funds. To fully understand the quick adoption, please remember that IBIT was the fastest-growing ETF ever in history after launch. In today's article we are going to discuss a 2x leveraged ETF based on bitcoin, namely the ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF ( BITU ), and highlight our macro view on the currency and why BITU should be avoided. What is BITU? BITU is an exchange-traded fund that targets 2x daily bitcoin returns. The name falls in the leveraged products category; thus, investors need to remember the FINRA suitability guidance on the product: * Most leveraged ETFs are designed to achieve their stated objective on a daily basis only. * Holding these funds for longer than one day, particularly in volatile markets, can result in performance that differs significantly from the underlying index. * They are not intended to be held for intermediate or long periods and can experience "volatility drag" where the underlying index remains flat, but the leveraged ETF loses value. The ETF uses swaps and futures to achieve its goal: Fund Holdings (Fund Website) Swaps are OTC contracts that can be structured to provide any agreed-upon returns in exchange for a recurring fee. Doing it via swaps removes any potential basis between the structure and a 2x daily return. When performance warnings from FINRA are spot-on Remember the warnings from FINRA we posted above in the article? Guess what - they were spot on: Data by YCharts Looking back on a 1-year period, we can see BITU severely underperforming the expected 2x bitcoin return. While IBIT is down -17% (we are using IBIT as a bitcoin proxy), one would expect a BITU performance somewhere around -34%. What ...
