How 3 market experts say investors can get ready for a new era in crypto
Crypto week in Washington, DC, is over, but the bullishness among investors keeps building. The legislative sprint to boost the crypto market last week concluded with Donald Trump signing the GENIUS Act, a bill that creates a framework for the issuance and use of stablecoins. Its passage boosted crypto prices and sparked momentum for companies with high stablecoin exposure, such as Circle Internet Group and Coinbase. The milestones are expected to usher in a new era for crypto, but sources say some areas of the market stand to gain more than others. Here's what market experts say they're watching as the latest developments in crypto unfold. What the pros are bullish on Cryptocurrencies went on a broad-based rally as crypto week pushed toward the passage of the GENIUS Act in the Senate, and the momentum hasn't slowed yet. But that doesn't mean all coins are equally well-positioned to benefit from this new era. The first and perhaps most obvious winners investors should look for are also the market's biggest tokens/ "If investors look at bitcoin as gold, it's a digital vault," said Alec Strasmore, founder of Epic Loot Labs. "It's hard-coded to be scarce, and that's why big institutions treat it like insurance against a messy financial system. Ethereum is comparable to oil, because it powers the pipes of the internet economy." Strasmore took the analogy even further, comparing Solana to telecommunications, stating "its fast, it's cheap, and it's built for the average retail trader." He highlighted the important role the blockchain network plays in mobile apps and social platforms. Ethereum has been on a particularly wild rally, up 53% to $3,763.40 in July. That's mainly because the GENIUS Act is expected to boost the issuance of stablecoins, which run on the ethereum blockchain. On the stock front, Strasmore named Coinbase a top pick. "They are treated as the custodial centralized exchange for retail traders and it wins because it's the most compliant crypto exchange and has clear rules." Strasmore also called attention to the intersection of crypto and artificial intelligence (AI), naming prominent chipmakers Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices as likely winners. "Not only are they the backbone of mining and the technical lift for all blockchain, but they also play a huge part in the AI narrative," he said. "We've seen that play out on the market with these exponential, monstrous gains, month over month." Isaac Joshua, CEO of Gems Blockchain Launchpad, shared a similar take with Business Insider. He named Nvidia as the "unseen winner" of the new crypto boom, predicting that the combination of AI and crypto infrastructure will lead to "explosive chip demand." Both Stasmore and Joshua also named Michael Saylor's Strategy, known for its aggressive bitcoin buying, as a likely winner. "It trades like a high-beta Bitcoin ETF, and every bullish law is fuel," Joshua said. Where they advise caution Still, some assets could struggle in the era. "Crypto mining companies like Riot Blockchain and MARA Holdings could face increased scrutiny from regulators" said Fei Chen, CEO of "The environmental concerns around crypto mining and the possibility of stricter regulations on energy consumption might create challenges for these companies." Chen recommended that investors prioritize balancing risk in their portfolios by focusing on both crypto-related stocks and broader tech trades. "Investing more in well-established crypto companies and blockchain infrastructure could provide safer, long-term growth prospects," citing Coinbase as an example. In addition, Issac highlighted PayPal as a company that also may face challenges in the near future. Although the company has launched its own stablecoin, he noted that it "may be caught between banking regulators and crypto laws," as the regulatory landscape adjusts. Issac advised investors to allocate 1%-5% to regulated crypto exposure, naming bitcoin exchange-traded funds such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF as a "serious macro play," and to "Consider COIN or MSTR as high-beta proxies for crypto adoption."

Katie Holmes And Joshua Jackson Are Back Together After 22 Years – And Fans Are Obsessed
The news that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are working together again, 22 years after the final episode of Dawson's Creek , has sent fans on a nostalgia trip. The pair are teaming up for Katie's new film Happy Hours, which she is writing, directing and starring. Joshua has joined the cast alongside Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr, Nathan Darrow, Johanna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin. The film follows two people, played by Katie and Joshua, and their relationship as they navigate the challenges of their careers, family responsibilities and the pursuit of love. It's billed as a character-driven dramedy exploring the emotional journey of young loves who reconnect again as adults. Of course, those who have followed Katie and Joshua's careers and know that they dated during Dawson's Creek 's run in the late '90s, will think the plot sounds rather familiar. 'I am so very grateful to be working again with so many wonderful friends on this film Happy Hours ,' Katie announced. 'And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship. Happy Hours is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make.' Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson on the set of Happy Hour on 21 July. (Photo by Jason Howard/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) Despite their on-screen characters Pacey and Joey having an on-off relationship throughout the show (and ultimately ending up together at the end), Katie and Joshua also dated in real life. The two actors dated for a year during the early days of Dawson's Creek between 1998 and 1999 and continued working together until 2003. Katie has described Joshua as her first love.

Her relationship with musician Bobby Wooten III ended in December 2022 after eight months of dating. Prior to this, she was seeing chef Emilio Vitolo Jr in 2020. Of course, Katie's most notable relationship was with Tom Cruise, with whom she shares her daughter Suri. They married in 2006 and divorced in 2012. After this relationship, Katie was with actor Jamie Foxx for six years. Meanwhile, Joshua was married to British actress Jodie Turner-Smith between 2019 and 2023 and they welcomed a daughter in 2020. In December 2023, it was announced that Joshua was dating Lupita Nyong'o but the relationship ended the following October. Prior to this, Joshua was in a 10 year relationship with German actress Diane Kruger between 2006 and 2016. It is thought that he is currently single. All of this information is enough for Dawson's Creek fans to think it's time to buy a hat. 'Kids nowadays will never know the history makers Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes were. Their chemistry was so organic, real, palpable that the writers changed the storyline and wrote them as endgame despite that never being the plan,' reads on post on X. Another fan wrote, 'Katie Holmes literally said I am writing, directing and starring in my own movie trilogy this is so important. Who is the one person on this EARTH I will have the most chemistry possible with? And immediately called Joshua Jackson. Sick I am sick.' 'Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes filming together 20 years later I've prayed for times like these,' joked a third X user. 'When this becomes my entire personality don't even judge me.' A fourth picked up on the parallels between the plot and real life. 'Katie Holmes wrote a romcom about young lovers falling in love again as adults and the first person she thought to cast as the male lead was Joshua Jackson and unfortunately I will have to deal with this devastating information for the rest of my life.'

KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 — SEVENTEEN members Joshua, DK, and Dino have confirmed they will be visiting Malaysia soon, sparking excitement among local K-pop fans. The trio revealed the news themselves in a behind-the-scenes vlog posted on Youtube yesterday, where they were seen filming promotional content for snack brand Mister Potato's new Jinjja Crunch campaign. 'We have exciting news for you guys. We love you, Mister Potato! See you in Malaysia!' the members said in the video. While Mister Potato — a brand under Malaysian food company Mamee-Double Decker — has yet to release official event details, the collaboration featuring the idols and three snack flavours was announced last week. The visit was first hinted at when Mamee-Double Decker Group CEO Pierre Pang shared a teaser on Instagram earlier this month.
