Bitcoin lending bounces back, Wall Street credit takes lead as $60,000 level looms

Bitcoin lending bounces back, Wall Street credit takes lead as $60,000 level looms

Silicon Valley Bank, part of First Citizens BancShares, put bitcoin-backed loans in front of credit investors again, saying the business has shifted from failed crypto firms to overcollateralized lending, bank lines, and rated ABS. CoinDesk and FinanceFeeds reported on the change in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin traded under $60,000 at the time. For investors, the key is in the loan terms. A lender who requires $2 in bitcoin for every $1 lent and who liquidates at 80% loan-to-value gets a 37.5% price cushion on bitcoin before forced selling, if there’s no repayment or collateral added. At the price on the dateline, liquidation would hit around $37,100. SVB said Ledn hasn’t reported losses from collateralized consumer loans after bitcoin’s 48% slide from last year’s high.

Dip buying in Schwab’s SCHD gets attention while dividend ETF flows diverge

Dip buying in Schwab’s SCHD gets attention while dividend ETF flows diverge

Money rushed into the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF during a pullback, putting one of the biggest dividend funds back in focus for income trades, but flow trackers are split on how big the move was. TipRanks said SCHD dropped 2.36% last week and pulled in $5.46 billion over five days. ETFDB reported net flows of $480.9 million in five days and $2.3 billion for the month. Dividend plays face pressure on both ends right now: yields on cash and Treasuries remain attractive, and big tech and AI-driven names are still drawing buyers to growth. The Fed held rates at 3.50%-3.75% last week. The 10-year Treasury hovered near 4.5% on Monday, so equity income still has a tough bar to clear.

Schwab recovers; crypto and AI worries stick around

Schwab recovers; crypto and AI worries stick around

Schwab stock gained Monday after the brokerage put out its latest operating numbers. The move comes as questions pop up about how AI-based cash tools could impact Schwab’s top profit source. Shares last changed hands at $92.27 around 10:47 a.m. in New York, above Friday’s $91.10 close. Market value was about $161.7 billion. Schwab shares finished at $91.10 on June 12, about 15% below the 52-week peak of $107.50, according to a TIKR note out Monday. Some investors worry AI cash optimizers could steer client cash away from the firm’s low-yield sweep accounts to better-paying products. TIKR pointed to management’s statements at the May investor day, when Schwab boosted its forecast for 2026 revenue growth to 14%-15%. Slides from that day show Schwab aiming to improve net interest margin in 2026 by ramping up lending.

Fidelity Just Made SpaceX IPO Access Easier. The Catch Is Getting Shares

Fidelity Just Made SpaceX IPO Access Easier. The Catch Is Getting Shares

Fidelity Investments said customers with as little as $2,000 in a retail brokerage account can seek shares in SpaceX’s initial public offering, a sharp cut to the usual hurdle for new-issue access. The firm said SpaceX is reserving up to 30% of the deal for retail investors, versus the 5% to 10% Fidelity said most IPOs usually set aside for that group. The timing matters. SpaceX’s filing showed it plans to offer 555,555,555 Class A shares at an expected price of $135 each, putting the base sale at about $75 billion before any extra shares are sold by underwriters. SEC-filed IPO materials say the roadshow starts June 4, the final price is expected on June 11 and trading is expected to begin June 12.

Schwab Faces $12.6 Trillion Test as AI Cash Flows Raise Concerns Again

Charles Schwab shares are moving into this short week as investors take a closer look at risks to one of the company’s top earning streams—idle client cash.

The stock ended Friday at $90.15, dipping 0.29% for the session and trading nearly 0.8% lower than its May 15 close. Monday’s gains faded in a midweek slide. Elsewhere, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq each ended last week on the upside, with the S&P 500 logging its eighth week in a row of gains.

SCHD vs DGRO vs VIG: The May 2026 Dividend ETF Fight Investors Are Watching

Dividend-focused U.S. investors face a clearer fork in the road this May: Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF serves up the biggest yield, iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF blends income with the prospect of growth, and Vanguard’s Dividend Appreciation ETF stands out for its rock-bottom fee. TipRanks’ Shalu Saraf calls SCHD the top pick for raw income; DGRO gets pegged as the compromise choice, with VIG coming off as the more cautious play. Money is flowing into dividend funds again, putting the debate front and center. U.S. dividend income funds pulled in $24.1 billion during the first quarter—the biggest Q1 inflow they’ve seen in four years, according to LSEG Lipper data cited by Reuters. Jun Li of EY, who leads global and Americas wealth and asset management, said investors are turning to dividend strategies as they look to combine income with market exposure.

Bitcoin Price Today Falls Back Below $78,000 as BTC’s $80,000 Test Stalls Despite ETF Inflows

Bitcoin Price Today Falls Back Below $78,000 as BTC’s $80,000 Test Stalls Despite ETF Inflows

Bitcoin dipped below $78,000 Thursday, losing momentum after briefly pushing close to $80,000—the highest mark for the cryptocurrency since late January. The price hovered near $77,400 in recent trading, off about 0.9% for the day. Earlier, Bitcoin had hit a session peak of $79,426, but sentiment cooled as news broke that Iran had seized two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin’s slide stands out, coming as it hovered near a key psychological level while big players were returning. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, which track the token itself, hauled in $335.8 million on April 22, according to Farside Investors. That marks roughly $1.87 billion flowing in over the last seven sessions.

Why SCHD ETF Is Back in Focus After Schwab’s March Rebalance and New Dividend

Why SCHD ETF Is Back in Focus After Schwab’s March Rebalance and New Dividend

SCHD—the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF—hit its ex-dividend date Wednesday. So, anyone buying in now won’t get the March 30 payout. The $84.1 billion fund is back in focus after its yearly March holdings shakeup. Motley Fool and TipRanks, both publishing within the last two days, highlighted that this low-fee dividend ETF remains attractive for income-focused investors and those favoring less volatile sectors. That’s become more relevant as investors hunt for portfolio buffers amid oil-fueled inflation jitters and stock market swings. On Tuesday, U.S. equities slipped, pressured by rising crude prices, a jump in bond yields, and weak business activity numbers. Schwab reports SCHD’s 30-day SEC yield at 3.42% as of March 23—a standard measure tracking recent fund income.

Dow futures tick up as delayed jobs report nears and an AI tax tool rattles Schwab

Dow futures tick up as delayed jobs report nears and an AI tax tool rattles Schwab

U.S. stock index futures ticked higher late Tuesday, with investors eyeing a postponed January jobs report set for release Wednesday and an inflation readout coming Friday. By 8:11 p.m. ET, S&P 500 futures were up 0.2% to 6,978.25, Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.3% to 25,291.75, and Dow futures edged 0.2% higher to 50,385. This month’s jobs report isn’t the usual read. Nonfarm payrolls are forecast to rise by just 70,000 in January, with the unemployment rate sticking at 4.4%, after the government shutdown delayed the release. The report also folds in a benchmark revision—payroll figures get a shakeup from more complete data—and an update to the BLS “birth-death” model, which adjusts for job creation and losses from new business activity. KPMG’s Diane Swonk called the labor market “very much frozen.” Ron Hetrick at Lightcast didn’t sound much more upbeat, labeling conditions “anemic.”

Bitcoin Price Clings to $70,000 After Rout as Bernstein Sticks With $150,000 Call

This week, Bitcoin bounced around the $70,000 mark, whipsawing after last week’s steep drop. Bulls insisted the move was more a momentary crisis of confidence than a sign of deeper trouble. This drop pushed the world’s biggest cryptocurrency further off its 2025 highs, putting recent institutional demand to the test as bitcoin slipped deeper into a pullback.
