AI-Related Stocks Surge, Cryptocurrencies Mirror the Optimistic Sentiment

  • SanDisk, Advanced Micro Devices, and Micron Technology gained 15.4%, 4%, and 5.5%, respectively.
  • The collective market cap of AI cryptocurrencies is up by 3.57%.
  • All three US stock indexes closed Monday on a high.

Stocks of companies in the AI sector surged on Monday, contributing to the highs of the overall US Stock Indexes. AI cryptocurrencies continue to mirror a similar sentiment. Tron DAO Founder Justin Sun published a post to express his support for the AI segment in general.

AI Stocks Soar

Stocks of AI-related companies closed Monday on a high. Alphabet and Amazon added 1.9% and 1.5% to their respective values. However, they were overshadowed by the likes of SanDisk, Advanced Micro Devices, and Micron Technology. Each gained 15.4%, 4%, and 5.5%, applicable in the same order.

AI, according to a report by Reuters, dominated S&P 500 by accounting for more than a quarter of the Index. Notably, Alphabet and Amazon are likely to report their quarterly results sometime this week. It could give an additional glimpse into the near future of AI to investors. Meanwhile, US stocks in the AI segment have re-ignited optimism among investors.

AI Cryptocurrencies Surge

The optimism extends across the sector of AI cryptocurrencies. The collective market cap is up by 3.57% to $15.20 billion. Top AI tokens have recorded significant gains, like TAO (4.55%), NEAR (2.18%), and ICP (2.70%), in the last 24 hours.

Tron DAO Founder Justin Sun has expressed his support for the AI sector by publishing an X post, saying, All in AI. While the context is broad, it likely translates to staying bullish about the sector, including its cryptocurrencies. Needless to say, it is important to do research and risk assessment before crypto investments, or any other kind of investments.

Overall US Stock Indexes

All three US stock indexes performed well on Monday, with Dow noting the highest gains of 1.05%. It is followed by Nasdaq with 0.56% rise and S&P 500 with 0.54% gain. The Russell 2000 index also jumped by almost 1%.

A lot of highs in the AI cryptocurrencies or related stock indexes are attributed to recent developments. This includes the closure of the India-US trade deal and a comeback of Gold & Silver after a couple of consecutive drops.

However, the crypto market, for one, could take time to recover from the recent BTC liquidations of approximately $2.5 billion. The flagship token continues to trade below $80k, down by 10.90% over the last 7 days.

Stablecoins could face yield compression after Fed’s rate cut

Stablecoins could face yield compression after Fed’s rate cut

The post Stablecoins could face yield compression after Fed’s rate cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve reduced its policy rate by 25 basis points to 4.00%–4.25%, the first rate cut this year. The move, framed as a response to weakening labor data, signals the start of a cautious easing cycle. Projections show two more cuts possible before year-end, with further reductions likely in 2026. Inflation remains above target, but Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized risk management over immediate price control, prioritizing stability in employment conditions. Stablecoins will be quickly affected by this. Issuers like Tether and Circle have generated large profits by holding reserves in short-term Treasuries during the high-rate environment of the past two years. That income stream now begins to erode. DeFi protocols that offered tokenized Treasury exposure face the same squeeze, with returns set to fall further if the Fed continues cutting into next year. A multi-cut easing cycle could substantially reduce stablecoin profitability, forcing issuers and protocols to adapt. The decline in dollar yields also alters the balance between holding stablecoins passively and seeking higher returns in risk assets. Bitcoin benefits most from this reallocation. As nominal rates move lower and inflation remains sticky, real yields decline, making non-yielding assets more attractive. The weaker dollar and improving risk appetite amplify the effect, positioning Bitcoin as a relative winner of the Fed’s shift. The September cut is modest, but it could bring significant changes to the crypto market. Stablecoin models built on Treasury income face structural headwinds after the rate cut, while Bitcoin and other high-beta assets stand to gain from falling real yields and increased liquidity. The Fed has opened an easing cycle, and crypto’s internal capital flows will move with it. The post Stablecoins could face yield compression after Fed’s rate cut appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Wormhole Jumps 11% on Revised Tokenomics and Reserve Initiative

Wormhole Jumps 11% on Revised Tokenomics and Reserve Initiative

The post Wormhole Jumps 11% on Revised Tokenomics and Reserve Initiative appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cross-chain bridge Wormhole plans to launch a reserve funded by both on-chain and off-chain revenues. Wormhole, a cross-chain bridge connecting over 40 blockchain networks, unveiled a tokenomics overhaul on Wednesday, hinting at updated staking incentives, a strategic reserve for the W token, and a smoother unlock schedule. The price of W jumped 11% on the news to $0.096, though the token is still down 92% since its debut in April 2024. W Chart In a blog post, Wormhole said it’s planning to set up a “Wormhole Reserve” that will accumulate on-chain and off-chain revenues “to support the growth of the Wormhole ecosystem.” The protocol also said it plans to target a 4% base yield for governance stakers, replacing the current variable APY system, noting that “yield will come from a combination of the existing token supply and protocol revenues.” It’s unclear whether Wormhole will draw from the reserve to fund this target. Wormhole did not immediately respond to The Defiant’s request for comment. Wormhole emphasized that the maximum supply of 10 billion W tokens will remain the same, while large annual token unlocks will be replaced by a bi-weekly distribution beginning Oct. 3 to eliminate “moments of concentrated market pressure.” Data from CoinGecko shows there are over 4.7 billion W tokens in circulation, meaning that more than half the supply is yet to be unlocked, with portions of that supply to be released over the next 4.5 years.
