Young men are increasingly taking risks in cryptocurrency and political betting, reporting substantial gains as markets rise.

Investments by young men are significantly outperforming traditional ones.

A diverse portfolio consisting of bitcoin, gold, GameStop, and DraftKings yielded a 62% return in 2023.

Many young male investors view their speculative trades as a pathway to traditional goals, supported by the entertainment aspects of mobile trading. However, owning cryptocurrency and meme stocks is influenced by gender attitudes. Data from the Pew Research Center shows a stark disparity between young male and female investors in crypto ownership.

Political expectations

The recent surge in bitcoin prices is partly due to favorable political expectations surrounding the newly elected administration. Political betting has also grown, with a majority of participants being male and under 30.

Many young men feel compelled to pursue risky investments due to economic pressures and perceived barriers. While they report higher earnings, nearly half claim to face discrimination, contributing to feelings of alienation.

The pandemic fueled increased retail participation in investing, especially among younger demographics. Influencers on online platforms significantly impact investment decisions, often promoting risky behavior.

Bitcoin dips below $90K to $88,785 as investor confidence wanes amid rising market volatility and economic uncertainty.

Bitcoin has dropped below the $90,000 mark, falling to around $88,785 as investor confidence wobbles and market volatility intensifies.

As economic uncertainty grows, investors are questioning whether Bitcoin can truly act as a safe haven during times of stress, with many instead treating it as a high-risk asset.

The sell-off highlights a widening gap between crypto optimism and real-world risk aversion as capital rotates away from digital assets.

Bitcoin nears $94,000 in 2026, driven by strong demand despite weak U.S. manufacturing, says expert Oz Sultan.

Bitcoin has surged to nearly $94,000 in 2026, defying weak U.S. manufacturing data and reflecting strong investor demand. Experts say macroeconomic conditions, including risk asset performance and U.S. market dynamics, have played a key role in the rally.

Oz Sultan from Sultan Interactive Group explains what factors contributed to Bitcoin’s record-breaking rise, how the ISM PMI below expectations impacted market sentiment, and the significance of the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium for U.S. demand.

Investors are now weighing the implications of this surge for the broader economy, historical trends, and long-term momentum. Strategies for navigating economic contraction and the correlation between Bitcoin and traditional risk assets are also explored.

Morgan Stanley has officially entered the US crypto ETF market with filings for Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum exchange-traded products. This marks the bank’s first direct push into digital assets, signalling a broad strategy rather than a single-product experiment.

The filings detail that the Solana ETF will include a staking component, allowing investors to earn yield from network participation. Each trust will hold the underlying crypto assets and will be managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management, according to regulatory documents.

This move comes amid growing competition in the traditional asset management sector, as Morgan Stanley continues to expand crypto access for clients. Last year, the bank opened limited exposure to digital assets through its wealth management division, and now it is taking a more comprehensive approach.
