Why Shiba Inu Is Surging Today
Cryptocurrencies largely advanced after the U.S. House of Representatives passed several crypto bills last week.
The crypto rally is broadening out to altcoins.
10 stocks we like better than Shiba Inu ›
Since the market closed on Friday, the price of Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) had traded 7.6% higher as of 10:15 a.m. ET today. There's no obvious reason behind the move, although the crypto sector largely moved higher this weekend due to several events.
President Trump signs stablecoin bill into law
President Donald Trump signed the Genius Act into law after the market closed on Friday. The Genius Act was one of three bills passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last week during so-called Crypto Week, and will look to create a framework for stablecoins, which are digital assets pegged to a commodity or currency. Investors likely believe that the three bills passed last week could create a regulatory environment that better positions crypto for the long term.
In other crypto news, Trump Media & Technology Group announced today that it had purchased $2 billion of Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency. The crypto custodian firm BitGo also reportedly filed for an initial public offering, as momentum in the crypto sector is leading start-ups to consider going public.
Additionally, the crypto rally seems to be broadening. Much of it had been dominated by Bitcoin and a few other cryptocurrencies for most of the year. But the new crypto legislation has lit a spark under cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, which seems to be benefiting from the stablecoin legislation because some of the largest stablecoins are issued on Ethereum's network. Shiba Inu was launched on top of Ethereum's network as an ERC-20 token, although has since built a layer-2 solution to conduct off-chain transactions.
Shiba Inu often moves for no apparent reason
It's not uncommon to see Shiba Inu move with the sector, although often with more volatility. While the token has advanced since launching in 2020, particularly with its layer-2 solution Shibarium, I still view it largely as a meme token and therefore advise investors to stay away.

Red Rock Resorts (RRR) Reports Q2: Everything You Need To Know Ahead Of Earnings
Casino resort and entertainment company Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ:RRR) will be announcing earnings results this Tuesday after the bell. Here's what investors should know. Red Rock Resorts beat analysts' revenue expectations by 0.6% last quarter, reporting revenues of $497.9 million, up 1.8% year on year. It was a satisfactory quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts' EPS estimates but a miss of analysts' Casino revenue estimates. Is Red Rock Resorts a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Red Rock Resorts's revenue to be flat year on year at $485.4 million, slowing from the 16.9% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.41 per share. Heading into earnings, analysts covering the company have grown increasingly bearish with revenue estimates seeing 4 downward revisions over the last 30 days (we track 10 analysts). Red Rock Resorts has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates three times over the last two years. Looking at Red Rock Resorts's peers in the consumer discretionary segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Monarch delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 6.8%, beating analysts' expectations by 5.4%, and Boyd Gaming reported revenues up 6.9%, topping estimates by 5.4%. Monarch traded up 20.4% following the results while Boyd Gaming was also up 4.1%. Read our full analysis of Monarch's results here and Boyd Gaming's results here.
