SoFi Stock Just Got a Crypto Twist Investors Can’t Ignore

SoFi Stock Just Got a Crypto Twist Investors Can’t Ignore

SoFi Technologies Inc put its bank-issued dollar stablecoin into its consumer banking app, giving the digital lender a fresh crypto test as its shares held near $16 before regular U.S. trading on Thursday. The timing matters because SoFi is trying to show investors it can become more than a lender tied to credit demand and funding costs. A stablecoin is a digital token designed to hold a one-for-one value with a currency, in this case the U.S. dollar, and SoFi is pitching it as a way to move money faster inside a regulated banking setup.

SoFi Stock Moves After Dollar Stablecoin Launches in App

SoFi Technologies shares traded higher Wednesday after the company launched its SoFiUSD stablecoin in its app for close to 15 million members.

This is notable as SoFi wants to expand past loans and deposits into payments, an area where stablecoins are starting to attract banks, card networks and crypto players into direct competition.

Robinhood Stock Slides After Crypto Slump Hits Earnings — What Investors Need to Know

Robinhood’s Canada crypto move gets approval, next challenge looms for HOOD

Robinhood Markets is on track to enter Canada as WonderFi Technologies said a Canadian regulator cleared the takeover of Coinsquare Capital Markets, a WonderFi unit that Robinhood plans to buy. WonderFi said the deal only needs routine closing conditions now, with the closing set for on or around June 1. No other approvals are needed.

Shares were indicated at $73.64 ahead of Tuesday’s open, putting market cap around $67.4 billion.

Why SoFi Technologies Stock Is Slipping After Its PrimaryBid Deal

SoFi Moves Back Into Focus After Unnoticed Deal

SoFi Technologies closed last week with little change, but news of a deal to buy Peach Finance gave investors another look at whether the digital lender can restore faith in its tech platform after a tough month for the stock. Timing is a factor. SoFi ended Friday at $15.62, down 0.19% on the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a record close, and the S&P 500 gained for the eighth week in a row. Reuters said hopes for Middle East talks and a strong run of earnings pushed the S&P 500 higher.

SoFi Stock Treads Water as Traders Keep an Eye on Next Move

SoFi Technologies shares dipped 0.2% to $15.66 in early afternoon trading Thursday, trailing gains in the tech sector as investors looked at the online lender’s strong first-quarter growth but also fresh concerns about rates, oil and credit risk. Shares moved in a $15.36 to $15.76 range, and about 27.7 million shares changed hands. SoFi made only a minor move, but the timing is notable. The stock has struggled to bounce back after it slumped on its April earnings. That report logged record revenue and loan growth, but investors focused on the decision to keep the 2026 outlook the same.

Kraken’s Dubai Approval Gives It a Regulated Shot at UAE Crypto Traders

Kraken’s Dubai Approval Gives It a Regulated Shot at UAE Crypto Traders

Payward, the parent of Kraken, has secured preliminary approval from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority for a broker-dealer, investment and management licence, moving the U.S.-founded crypto exchange closer to a fuller UAE launch. The timing matters because Dubai has become a crowded licensing ground for large digital-asset firms. Binance, OKX and Crypto.com already hold active VARA licences, giving Kraken a late but still serious route into a market where local regulatory cover and dirham access can decide who wins institutional flow.

Montevideo, Uruguay, May 14, 2026, 19:03 DLocal posted a 10% slide in first-quarter profit Thursday, weighed down by a one-off tax hit along with rising costs—factors that knocked the stock lower in after-hours trading. The Montevideo payments company reported net income of $41.9 million, or 14 cents per diluted share, compared with $46.7 million in the same period last year.

SoFi’s PrimaryBid Deal Puts It Back in the IPO Race as Rate-Cut Hopes Fade

SoFi’s PrimaryBid Deal Puts It Back in the IPO Race as Rate-Cut Hopes Fade

SoFi Technologies just picked up tech from UK-based PrimaryBid, pushing further into the business of connecting retail investors with IPOs and capital raises. According to PrimaryBid’s site, Nasdaq-listed SoFi is the buyer. PYMNTS reported a SoFi spokesperson confirmed the deal included assets tied to PrimaryBid’s directed share program. The deal’s timing is crucial as SoFi looks to diversify its revenue with more fee-based streams tied to its core lending and banking app. Fresh momentum in the U.S. listings market adds to the backdrop. With a directed share program, companies can carve out a slice of a stock offering for employees, customers, or retail investors—instead of handing nearly all the allocation to big institutional players.

Klarna Finally Posts a Profit After IPO — But Its Outlook Gives Wall Street a Reason to Wait

Klarna Finally Posts a Profit After IPO — But Its Outlook Gives Wall Street a Reason to Wait

Klarna Group plc finally posted a quarterly profit—the company’s first since debuting on the New York exchange—with revenue topping $1 billion. But investors didn’t get the all-clear, as management’s softer second-quarter guidance kept enthusiasm in check and signaled the post-IPO hangover isn’t over yet. Shoppers kept spending: gross merchandise volume jumped 33%, hitting $33.7 billion. The Swedish buy now, pay later outfit, which lets users split payments, continues to scale. Timing is crucial here. Investors want Klarna to show it can expand in the U.S. market without letting credit expenses or overhead spiral past its growth. According to Reuters, revenue topped analyst expectations at $945 million. But Klarna’s forecast for second-quarter revenue—set between $960 million and $1 billion—came in below the $1.07 billion analysts predicted in the LSEG survey.

The stock, though, isn’t getting a break: shares dropped 2.9% to $15.44 in afternoon trading, trading above 40 million shares, according to market data.

USBC Stock Spikes as a Thin Float Turns a Tokenized-Deposit Bet Into a Momentum Trade

USBC Stock Spikes as a Thin Float Turns a Tokenized-Deposit Bet Into a Momentum Trade

USBC, Inc. shot up Tuesday, changing hands around $0.81 in recent action after starting out at $0.58. The stock touched $0.8824 earlier. Volume? More than 71.5 million shares—a massive surge for a stock that's typically much quieter. This move stands out, lacking any new company news to explain it. On USBC’s investor-relations page, the latest press releases are still April 2, March 31, and January 26. SEC filings? Last one’s May 1. So, today’s spike seems to hinge more on trading dynamics and traders circling back to the story—there’s no fresh revenue figure, product rollout, or signed agreement disclosed today.

SoFi Stock Slips as Truist Puts the Lending-Platform Question Back in Front of Investors

SoFi Stock Slips as Truist Puts the Lending-Platform Question Back in Front of Investors

SoFi Technologies lost ground on Tuesday, reversing some of Monday’s gains. The move followed a new target cut from Truist that grabbed investor attention, overshadowing SoFi’s latest acquisition headlines. Shares kicked off at $16.04, briefly reached $16.31, but then slipped to a session low of $15.63. By late morning, the stock hovered around $15.75. Here’s what sparked the drop: Truist’s Matthew Coad slashed the price target to $17, flagging weaker sales forecasts for SoFi’s loan platform and dialing down his outlook for Galileo and Technisys. That hit a nerve with investors. SoFi’s headline numbers are strong, but Wall Street isn’t convinced the growth runs deep enough for a premium valuation.

Figure Technology Extends Post-Earnings Bid as Loan Volume Resets the Growth Debate

Figure Technology Extends Post-Earnings Bid as Loan Volume Resets the Growth Debate

Figure Technology Solutions shares caught a premarket lift Tuesday after its Q1 numbers delivered what bulls have been looking for—ongoing loan growth, despite headwinds from rates. At 7:11 a.m. Eastern, MarketBeat quoted FIGR at $40.42 in after-hours action, marking a 3.73% rise from Monday’s close of $38.97. The reason’s straightforward enough. Figure is projecting consumer loan marketplace volume for Q2 between $3.8 billion and $4.1 billion—up from $2.9 billion in Q1, and topping Jefferies’ previous expectation of $3.2 billion. For a marketplace lender, volume drives everything: more loans mean increased fees, a bigger data pool, and fresh incentives for both buyers and originators to stick around.

  • Intel (INTC) jumps 6%, hits 25-year high as 18A-P chip process enters risk production
    July 1, 2026, 11:59 AM EDT. Intel (INTC) surged 6.01% to $139.63 on June 30, putting shares at their highest in 25 years after the company said its 18A-P chip process started risk production. The milestone means the chips are one stage away from volume production, delivering 9% more performance at the same power draw. On-time progress is big for Intel, which has struggled with delays, and it gave bulls more reason to stay invested. Though shares have climbed more than 250% in 2026, the average Wall Street price target is still about $99, or 29% below current levels, showing investor hesitation about valuation. Intel's CFO said factory yield improvements could arrive sooner than planned, potentially boosting margins since higher yields would cut costs. Now investors are split on how much of Intel's comeback story is already in the price.
