There’s more than one way to own a piece of the artificial intelligence sector. Skip the vendors of chips and large language models. Invest in the power supply. Shares of electric utilities under contract with giant data centers are sizzling. The past three years have seen a doubling for Entergy, a quadrupling for Constellation Energy and a sixfold gain for Talen Energy. Riding this electric wave is Jay Rhame, chief executive of W.H. Reaves & Company, a somewhat obscure money manager in Jersey City, New Jersey, that has an uncommon focus: utilities. Its Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF has, since opening…

He’s publicly declared that the markets are doing better than he expected, even with the S&P 500 stock index declining over the past five weeks and the global oil benchmark up roughly 60%.“I thought oil prices…
It sounds out of a sci-fi video game, but new research suggest quantum attackers could break Bitcoin’s blockchain and steal coins mid-transaction sooner than it was originally expected. Is Doomsday Near For Bitcoin? A new whitepaper and blogpost published on Tuesday by Google’s Quantum AI team claims that Bitcoin and Ethereum’s cryptography can be broken with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits and roughly 1,200 “logical” qubits, far below the “millions” that used to be cited.

XRP may be showing one of the cleaner accumulation signals in an otherwise weak altcoin market, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, who pointed to a pickup in Binance outflow transactions as the token continues to trade inside a narrow multi-month range. XRP Flashes This Bullish Signal The setup matters because XRP has held between roughly $1.30 and $1.50 for several months even as broader market conditions have remained difficult, particularly for altcoins. In Darkfost’s reading, that sideways stretch is not just stagnation. It may also be a period in which buyers are quietly repositioning. “Despite difficult conditions for the crypto…

© Peshkova / Shutterstock.com Three years ago, FTX collapsed and wiped out billions in customer funds overnight. On March 31, the FTX Recovery Trust will distribute $2.2 billion to affected creditors as part of its fourth round of payouts, bringing the total amount returned to roughly $10 billion since the recovery process began in early 2025. All payments are being made in USD, not crypto, and every dollar is based on November 2022 market prices. So a creditor who had 1 BTC on FTX is getting roughly $16,871 in cash while Bitcoin trades around $66,000 today. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and…
© Pixel-Shot / Shutterstock.com For decades, the 401(k) has been limited to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. However, on March 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Labor proposed a rule that would open the door for retirement plan managers to include crypto for the first time. American 401(k) plans hold $10.1 trillion in retirement savings, and even a small percentage allocated to crypto would dwarf the total amount that has flowed into XRP ETFs since they launched. The $10.1 trillion number sounds incredible for crypto, but the reality of how that money actually reaches XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is more complicated…
