4 Crypto-Centric Stocks to Grab Before Bitcoin's Next Rally
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Bitcoin slid nearly 15% in a month, hitting lows near $107,000 before stabilizing around $110,492.
PayPal, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood and NVIDIA show upward earnings estimate revisions.
Fed rate cut expectations and easing policy could boost Bitcoin and related growth assets soon.
The cryptocurrency market has been giving up gains over the past two weeks, with Bitcoin (BTC) hitting a seven-week low in late August. The cryptocurrency recovered from falling as low as $107,000 after hitting an all-time high in July.
Since then, Bitcoin has remained rangebound between $110,000 and $112,000 and has occasionally risen above $115,000. There are several factors behind the ongoing volatility as investors remain concerned about the economy’s health. However, once investors get more clarity on the economy’s position, the cryptocurrency is expected to resume its rally.
Investors should thus make the most of this opportunity and take the buy-the-dip approach and invest in crypto-centric stocks. We have selected four stocks: PayPal Holdings (PYPL - Free Report) , Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR - Free Report) , Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) and NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - 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 Pulls Back
Bitcoin was trading around $110,492 on Wednesday night after falling to nearly $107,000 earlier in the week. The cryptocurrency has hit four all-time highs this year, with the last being $124.496 in July.
Bitcoin has declined nearly 15% over the past month, occasionally paring some of the losses, but remains sharply lower than its all-time high. Several factors have raised concerns in the minds of investors, who are skeptical about making investments in risky assets.
Although the unemployment rate is still very low, a weak jobs report has raised concerns over a struggling labor market. Also, investors are yet to understand the real impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The new set of tariffs has already been pushing prices of goods higher, igniting fears of inflation climbing back again.
This saw consumer confidence declining to 97.4 in August from 98.7 in July, a 1.3% drop. However, the ongoing decline is temporary. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are likely to get a boost in the coming days once the Federal Reserve starts easing its monetary policy. The Fed has hinted at a possible rate cut in September, which bodes well for growth-oriented assets, including cryptocurrencies. Markets are now pricing in a 97.6% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut in September, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.
