5 days ago | fool.com | Emma Newbery

Tesla (TSLA 3.31%) has had a tough start to the year. Its stock is down almost 30% year to date, and disappointing is, frankly, a polite word to use about its first-quarter results. Its revenue and earnings per share missed analyst expectations, and its automotive revenue fell 20% year on year. But there's been plenty of coverage of Tesla's troubles.

1 week ago | fool.com | Emma Newbery

Coinbase (COIN 1.77%) and PayPal (PYPL 2.81%) have teamed up to make the payment giant's stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD -0.00%), easier to buy and use. Coinbase is one of the leading U.S. crypto exchanges, and PayPal is a major player in e-commerce and online payments. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are pegged to real-world assets such as the U.S. dollar. As such, they offer a blockchain-based payment method that doesn't suffer from crypto's usual volatility.

For a brief moment after President Donald Trump announced hisΒ tariffs, it looked as if Bitcoin (BTC 0.07%) could keep its head as markets all around it were losing theirs. The stock market plummeted on April 3 and April 4, as investors and businesses digested the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs (which have since been put on hold for three months).

The slump is partly due to a wider drop in crypto prices, but there are also some Solana-specific factors at play.

Even in the dizzying world of crypto, that seems unlikely. Still, anything is possible, especially with Dogecoin.
