The total number of US stock-related assets tradable across the entire platform has exceeded 340.This week enters a period of密集 earnings reports and macroeconomic data releases. Through continuous expansion, Bitget aims to provide users with a wide range of cross-market asset allocation channels.3 Key Focus Targets This Week:• NVDA (NVIDIA): Will release Q1 earnings after the US market closes on May 20. The implied volatility from the options market suggests a potential single-day swing of over 7.5%. As the core of AI computing power, its performance will directly impact the overall valuation trend of the tech sector.• GOOGL (Google): Recently, at its I/O conference, Google intensively released multiple new products such as Gemini 3.5 and AI agents. The market is closely monitoring the subsequent pace of commercial implementation and revenue monetization capabilities.• WMT (Walmart): Will release Q1 earnings before the market opens on May 21. As a retail giant, Walmart's resilience during the consumer downturn cycle is under significant scrutiny. The earnings results and guidance will directly influence investors' assessment of full-year growth expectations and the stock's short-term performance.
According to The Block, three Wall Street firms—Benchmark, TD Cowen, and Mizuho—maintained “Buy” ratings on four crypto-related companies—Bitdeer, DeFi Technologies, Strive, and Gemini—on Monday, noting that the market continues to value these platforms, which have pivoted toward AI infrastructure, capital markets tools, and structured financial products, using trading-business valuation multiples. Benchmark analysts reiterated their “Buy” rating on Bitdeer and $27 price target, highlighting its global power asset portfolio of approximately 3.0 GW and the growth of its AI cloud business’s annual recurring revenue—from roughly $10 million at the end of January to approximately $69 million by the end of April. TD Cowen raised its price target for Strive to $30, forecasting a 26.1% Bitcoin yield for the company in 2026. Mizuho maintained its “Outperform” rating on Gemini but lowered its price target from $12 to $10, noting that although Q1 trading volume declined by over 50%, trading revenue remained largely flat—reflecting higher fee rates and an optimized revenue mix.
According to Bloomberg, Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss have made a $100 million strategic investment in New York–based cryptocurrency exchange Gemini Space Station Inc. through Winklevoss Capital Fund, purchasing Class A common stock at $14 per share, with payment made in Bitcoin. Following the announcement, the company’s stock rose approximately 15% after hours. As of Thursday’s close, its share price stood at $5.26—down more than 80% over the past year. Gemini’s net loss narrowed to $109 million in Q1, compared to $149 million a year earlier; revenue grew 42% to $50 million, driven primarily by income from services such as credit cards. CEO Tyler Winklevoss stated that the market has severely undervalued Gemini, and this investment will help the company transition from a crypto firm to a broader market company. Gemini went public in September 2025, shortly after which the crypto market entered a downturn.
