Brazil Leads Crypto ETF Race With New Hybrid Bitcoin/Gold Product
Hashdex, the Rio de Janeiro-based crypto asset manager, is teaming up with Buena Vista Capital to launch a hybrid bitcoin and gold exchange-traded fund on Brazil's B3 stock exchange.
The new offering advances Brazil's status as a global leader in the cryptocurrency ETF sector. When GBTC11, as the product will be known (not to be confused with Grayscale GBTC Trust in the US), goes live on July 29, Brazil's B3 exchange will boast 22 ETFs that offer full or partial exposure to crypto assets.
GBTC11 will track the FTSE Bitcoin and Gold Risk Weighted Index and is designed to be a unique blend of two assets that are heavily sought after in volatile economic climates. Allocations will be adjusted dynamically with gold exposure increasing during crypto market downturns, and bitcoin exposure increasing when gold is in a lull period.
With an estimated initial share price of R$30 (US$5.52) and a management fee of 0.98% annually, the GBTC11 will offer portfolio protection and growth potential to both small and large investors alike.
Renato Nobile, founder and portfolio manager at Buena Vista Capital, said in a statement: Henry Oyama, director of investment strategies at Hashdex, said:
While Brazil represents a small percentage of total cryptoassets under management globally, its capital markets infrastructure in the segment - as evidenced by these ETFs -are remarkably complex.
These funds have 180,000 investors, with daily transaction volume averaging R$50 million (US$9.1 million) and total assets under management surpassing R$5 billion (US$920 million).
Other longer-standing products include Hashdex's HASH11, which features a weighted basket of cryptocurrencies, and other single asset funds focusing on bitcoin and Ethereum have been around since the 2021.
In September 2024, Brazil became the first country to approve single asset Solana ETFs. Hashdex and QR Asset subsequently became the first in the world to launch these products. In April of this year, Hashdex launched the world's first XRP ETF.
In June 2025, the B3 exchange launched trading of Ethereum and Solana futures contracts.
As investors globally continue to look for heightened exposure to crypto assets in a regualted and institutional-grade manner, Brazil stands out as a trailblazer.

How To Capitalize On Rise To New Highs
So much for the Liberation Day selloff! Markets are rising to new highs – and our MoneyShow experts have several ideas on how you can capitalize. Here are three. Mike Larson What about housing? It's a question I used to get a LOT. After all, I closely analyzed and wrote about the mortgage and real estate industries for years. But even though I haven't heard it much from friends, family members, colleagues, readers, and conference attendees, I have heard a few people talk about housing STOCKS and ETFs as value/turnaround plays. Which brings me to today's pair of MoneyShow Charts of the Day. First up is the year-over-year change in the (yes it's a mouthful!) S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller US Home Price Index. You can see that after booming during Covid and the year or two afterward, house price appreciation collapsed. Then prices started falling. The S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) Price growth resumed in late 2003, accelerated into 2024, but has been easing back ever since. That brings me to my next chart, which shows the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB). The $1.5 billion ETF owns shares of 35 home builders, building products companies, home improvement retailers, and home furnishings firms. Sample names include PulteGroup Inc. (PHM), TopBuild Corp. (BLD), Lennox International Inc. (LII), and Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL). I used a weekly timeframe and am showing a half-decade of trading. Energy Transfer LP (ET) You can see that the XHB fared poorly in late-2023, rallied throughout 2024, then slid lower into April – just like the broad averages. But even as the lagging house price data hasn't turned up, XHB held support at the 200-week simple moving average, then started rallying. It's now challenging overhead resistance at the 50-week SMA. RSI is confirming the rebound. I wouldn't say housing stocks are out of the proverbial woods. But I'd watch this level, see if they can punch through that resistance, and if so? Maybe take a stab at XHB or related stocks as potential value plays. Roger Conrad Conrad's Utility Investor Midstream energy stocks are a great way for income-seeking investors to get a piece of the AI boom and accelerating demand for electricity. And few, if any, are as well positioned as Energy Transfer LP (ET). The diversified midstream company yields north of 7% and is raising its dividend on a quarterly basis at an annualized rate between 3% and 5%. That dividend is also a tax-advantaged return of capital. Energy Transfer is coming off a solid Q1 in which its distributable cash flow covered its payout by better than a 2-to-1 margin and it covered capital spending with operating cash flow. Overall interstate natural gas transportation volumes hit a new record. Crude oil throughput expanded by 10%, NGL transportation 4%, NGLs/refined products 4%, NGL exports 5%, and midstream gathered volumes 2%. Verizon That growth is being driven in large part by low-cost acquisitions over the past few years, and more recently by using the stock of its Sunoco LP (SUN) affiliate. Energy Transfer's EBITDA from Sunoco grew by 89.3% in Q1. It will take another big jump when Sunoco closes the $9.1 billion acquisition of Canadian fuels distributor Parkland Fuels (PKIUF) in second half of 2025. Energy Transfer is a player in the global LNG trade, with its Lake Charles LNG export facility almost fully contracted and set to start up later in the decade. But management is talking more and more about its opportunity to ship gas to data centers, especially in Texas. The company has a long-term agreement to supply the CrowdBurst facilities in central Texas. It has also entered the generation business, building a fleet of eight 10 megawatt capacity natural gas-powered facilities in Texas. Renewable energy — particularly solar plus storage — is currently Big Tech's favored way to feed its electricity appetite. Facilities can be deployed at scale within 12 to 18 months of the planning stage. And the cost is a fraction of other sources, with or without tax credits. When you build renewables at scale, however, you've got to have natural gas. And adding meaningful, new nuclear capacity is a decade away at best. That means Big Tech is going to need a lot more gas. And Energy Transfer is well positioned to transport it to them. Steve Strazza AllStarCharts Earnings season continues to deliver surprises - both good and bad. But the market rewarded a telecom giant for another solid quarter while punishing one of the most well-known restaurant chains for falling short yet again. Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) had a +2.69 reaction score after reporting a double beat. It's a reminder that even in a generally positive earnings backdrop, the reaction often depends more on sentiment and expectations than the raw numbers. VZ reported revenues of $34.5 billion, versus the expected $33.74 billion, and earnings per share of $1.22, versus the expected $1.19. VZ has now been rewarded for three consecutive earnings reports, rallying 4% after this one. Here's why: Technically speaking, the stock is a hot mess. However, the fundamentals are trending in the right direction. With a dividend yield exceeding 6%, we believe this presents an attractive opportunity for income-seeking investors. The price is in the process of resolving a massive bearish-to-bullish reversal pattern, and the VWAP anchored to the 2019 high is our line in the sand. If and when VZ reclaims $46, the path of least resistance will shift from sideways to higher.

Bitcoin Could Go To $300,000 Before 'Great Depression' Crisis, Traders Argue
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) current bull run is alive and well, and unless the price drops below $74,000, short-term pullbacks are irrelevant, according to market commentators. What Happened: In a recent podcast, pseudonymous analysts CrediBULL Crypto and Trader Mayne reiterated that Bitcoin remains structurally bullish, with the potential to push as high as $300,000 before this cycle tops out. "Until we break below $74,000, none of these pullbacks really matter. The trend is still very much intact," they said, citing Elliott Wave theory, which maps out the market's five-wave impulse structure. Trending: Be part of the breakthrough that could replace plastic as we know it— They emphasized that the current market setup mirrors late-stage bull cycles, where altcoins lag behind before delivering explosive returns. Many altcoins are still down 80–90% from their all-time highs, offering what they describe as the last real accumulation window. Bitcoin Dominance: The Telltale Sign of Altseason Currently sitting around 60%, Bitcoin dominance is expected to collapse below its 35% all-time low before the cycle concludes. According to the duo, the final phase of the cycle ends with a massive drop in BTC dominance, prompting the biggest altseason since 2017. They believe this rotation will mark the climactic top for the entire market, with speculative excess flowing from Bitcoin into smaller-cap altcoins before a dramatic It Matters: While still long-term bullish on Bitcoin, the analysts warn that the risk-reward profile has shifted. Bitcoin was the buy "months or years ago." Now, the best risk-adjusted opportunities lie in select altcoins, they argue. "Look for altcoins with real fundamentals, trading at cycle lows and near long-term support. Don't chase what's already pumping." They also recommend narrowing focus to 5–6 core altcoin positions, rather than over-diversifying into high-flyers. CrediBULL and Mayne agree that while a parabolic blow-off is still likely, potentially pushing BTC to $300,000, this cycle will eventually give way to a violent correction. "We could be correcting not just this cycle, but 15 years of speculative excess. This is going to feel like the Roaring 20s before the Great Depression." Despite the cautionary tone for what comes next, they remain firmly bullish for now, if key levels like $74,000 continue to hold. Read Next: $100k+ in investable assets?

Gold price today, Friday, July 25, 2025: Gold remains flat as corporate earnings rise
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,372.10 per ounce Friday, nearly flat with Thursday's close of $3,371. The price of gold has increased 28% this year since its January 2 opening price of $2,633. Gold ticked above $3,400 earlier in the week as the U.S. dollar's year-to-date decline exceeded 10%. However, continued strong earnings reports, new highs in the S&P 500, and another better-than-expected weekly initial jobless claims report have shifted investor attention back to stocks. Notably, Google's parent company Alphabet (GOOG) beat earnings expectations by 5% and increased its AI budget – fueling optimism that AI can continue creating value for shareholders. Next week, a GDP report plus updates on inflation and the labor market will set the tone for gold demand in August. Stock market today: Nasdaq hits record, S&P 500 posts weekly gain, Dow slips as Wall Street shrugs off tariff tensions Current price of gold The opening price of gold futures on Friday is nearly flat with Thursday's close of $3,371 per ounce.

Buying gold, silver, and platinum at Costco The next time you go to Costco (COST), you may want to pick up some gold with that rotisserie chicken. Gold prices have been on a run lately, and what more convenient place can you find to buy a commodity? In fact, the club store sells gold bars, silver coins, and platinum bars — three precious metals that many investors use to diversify their wealth. The club store first offered gold bars in 2023, then added silver (SI=F) and platinum over the next year or so. Meanwhile, gold is hanging around its all-time high. Gold, silver, and platinum are all up more than 22% so far in 2025. Intrigued by Costco's precious metals offering? Read more here to learn key considerations for precious metals investing, the details of the Costco selection, and tips for managing your new investment. Up Next Up Next Price-of-gold chart Whether you're tracking the price of gold since last month or last year, the price-of-gold chart below shows the precious metal's steady upward climb in value. Historic price of gold Historically, gold has shown extended up cycles and down cycles. The precious metal was in a growth phase from 2009 to 2011. It then trended down, failing to set a new high for nine years. In those lackluster years for gold, your position will negatively impact your overall investment returns. If that feels problematic, a lower allocation percentage is more appropriate. On the other hand, you may be willing to accept gold's underperforming years so you can benefit more in the good years. In this case, you can target a higher percentage. The precious metal has been in the news lately, and many analysts are bullish on gold. In May, Goldman Sachs Research predicted gold would reach $3,700 a troy ounce by year-end 2025. That would equate to a 40% increase for the year, based on gold's January 2 opening price of $2,633. Rising demand from central banks, along with uncertainty related to changing U.S. tariff policy, are the factors driving the increase. If you are interested in learning more about gold's historical value, Yahoo Finance has been tracking the historical price of gold since 2000.
