SoFi stock (SOFI) slips into year-end: what traders are watching before the open

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:52 ET — Market closed SoFi Technologies (SOFI) shares ended the prior session lower as U.S. stocks retreated, with investors trimming exposure to growth-linked names ahead of the New Year. The move matters because SoFi trades like a high-beta fintech — it tends to swing more than the market when risk appetite shifts, especially when interest-rate expectations are in flux. With a holiday-shortened week and lighter volumes, small changes in rate and equity futures can translate into outsized moves in momentum stocks, traders said. SoFi closed at $26.82 on Monday, down 25 cents from the

MARA stock slips as bitcoin fails at $90,000; Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:23 ET — Market closed MARA Holdings Inc shares slipped 1.1% to $9.49 in the last session, after trading between $9.38 and $9.84 on volume of about 29.6 million shares. Bitcoin fell about 2% to $87,869. The move matters because bitcoin miners tend to amplify swings in the underlying token. They earn revenue in bitcoin while paying many costs — including power and equipment — in dollars, which can widen the impact of crypto price moves on equity valuations. Bitcoin retreated toward $87,000 after failing to hold above $90,000, a level traders have treated as
