New York, Jan 3, 2026, 11:02 ET — Market closed Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares rose 4.6% to $236.53 in Friday’s session after CEO Brian Armstrong laid out a 2026 plan to build what he called an “everything exchange” that stretches beyond cryptocurrencies.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:49 ET — Market closed Lam Research Corp shares closed up 8.1% on Friday at $185.06, finishing the first session of 2026 with one of the strongest large-cap moves in semiconductor equipment.

Trading volume rose to about 3.9 million shares, above its 50-day average, while rival Visa fell 1.21%, MarketWatch data showed.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:35 ET — Market closed Salesforce, Inc. shares closed down 4.26% on Friday at $253.62, their first regular-session finish of 2026, after trading between $252.48 and $265.38. The stock is about 31% below its 52-week high of $367.09. Investing The move matters now because Salesforce is a bellwether for enterprise software demand, and investors are starting the year debating how quickly corporate buyers will translate “AI” features into incremental spending.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:40 ET — Market closed CleanSpark shares surged 14.0% to close at $11.55 on Friday. The stock traded between $10.20 and $11.61 and changed hands in about 22.2 million shares.

JPMorgan stock closes higher to start 2026 as jobs report and Q4 earnings come into focus

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:22 ET — Market closed JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares rose 1.01% on Friday to close at $325.48, starting 2026 on a firmer note after a volatile year-end stretch.
