3 Bitcoin-Centric Stocks to Buy on the Dip as Rate Cut Hopes Soar
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Bitcoin hit $110,011 after a recent drop from its record $124,496 last month.
Rate cut hopes for September could help Bitcoin resume its rally.
PYPL, HOOD and IBKR show earnings growth and positive estimate revisions.
The cryptocurrency market has been volatile, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling to a seven-week low earlier this week before recovering marginally on Thursday. The decline came after Bitcoin hit an all-time high earlier last month.
The cryptocurrency has had an impressive year so far and still has potential to resume the rally. The recent decline is temporary and has been triggered by several macro concerns.
It would thus be ideal to take the "buy-the-dip" approach and invest in crypto-focused stocks. We have selected three stocks: Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR - Free Report) , Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) and PayPal Holdings (PYPL - Free Report) . Each of these stocks has strong growth potential for 2025 and has seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the past 60 days.
Bitcoin Declines After Rally
Bitcoin recovered slightly on Thursday and was hovering around $110,011, well below its all-time high of $124.496 last month, its fourth record high this year. Several factors have been weighing on Bitcoin and the overall investor sentiment.
Investors are less willing to make risky investments after President Donald Trump said on Monday that he plans to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from the board. This raised concerns over the independence of the central bank. On Wednesday, Cook’s attorney said that she plans to file a lawsuit against the President.
However, there have been some positive developments around rate cuts lately. After remaining unclear about the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy for a long time, investors finally got a signal when Chairman Jerome Powell said last week that the central bank might consider cutting interest rates in September.
The broader market has been on a rally since then. A rate cut in September is expected to give cryptocurrencies a boost, which is likely to help Bitcoin resume its rally.
