Circle President responds to the stock plunging from $260 to $62
On July 14, 2026, during an interview with FOX Business, Circle President Heath Tarbert addressed concerns regarding the company's stock price dropping from $260 to $62. He stated that Circle is playing the long game, believing that if they achieve their mission of building full-stack internet platform infrastructure, in the long run, the stock will take care of itself.
In response to emerging competition from the 140-company Open USD consortium, which includes Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, and Google, Heath Tarbert expressed that USDC's network effects—backed by $73 billion in circulation and native support on 34 chains—are incredibly hard to replicate.

Warren Buffett: When Everyone Prefers Gambling, Value Is Harder to Find
Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett @WarrenBuffett said in a July 15 CNBC interview that truly attractive investment opportunities do not come along often, and investors are very lucky to find even one good opportunity every few years.
But because people love to gamble, the financial industry can make more money cultivating gamblers than genuine investors. Buffett said value opportunities naturally become harder to find when everyone prefers speculation. Rational investors should act only when rare opportunities arise and remain patient the rest of the time.

Jeff Yan: Crypto's biggest problem is the lack of top entrepreneurial talent
On July 9, 2026, Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan @chameleon_jeff stated in an interview on the VALR podcast that a fair criticism of the current crypto and fintech sectors is their inability to attract enough of the highest quality entrepreneurial talent. He believes that amidst the AI boom and the social pressure to pursue prestige, the smartest young people often do not know what they could do to make the most impact, resulting in very few choosing to enter the space.
Jeff Yan expressed that rebuilding financial engineering from the ground up based on first principles and translating academic concepts into scalable market designs is an incredible undertaking. He urged the younger generation not to take things at surface value, but to identify the real problems the world faces and participate in the incredible renaissance of on-chain finance happening right now.

Robinhood CEO: Operate “Trump Accounts” and Why Trading Isn't Necessarily Gambling
According to NYT, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said in an interview that the company is working with the U.S. government to operate “Trump Accounts,” investment accounts designed for children born between 2025 and 2028. Responding to criticism that Robinhood may encourage younger generations to “gamble,” Tenev said trading in any form should not simply be defined as gambling.
He emphasized that speculation is essential to financial markets, as markets would not function without speculators making predictions about future prices. Tenev said Robinhood is working to move beyond its “meme stock” image and aims to become a one-stop financial platform covering all asset classes and financial transactions globally. He also revealed that more than 90% of his personal net worth is invested in Robinhood shares.
