đOur WYNDEX update for today:
Itâs the second week in a row in which the WYNDEX is rising over 1%, beating both S&P and NASDAQ. This week weâre at a 2.19% increase for the Wyndex, compared to 1.33% for S&P and 0.71% for the NASDAQ. Etoro leads the pack with 14.62%, in anticipation for a product update which is garnering a lot of attention. Word around the street (and retail investor forums) is that the recent GENIUS Act is about to fuel significant growth for the crypto friendly product.
đŻOur Big Shorts for today:
- Intelâs continued decline: The semiconductor company reported earnings July 24, and while the company beat analyst expectations on quarterly revenue, it also announced even more cost cutting efforts: itâs in the process of cutting 15% of its workforce, canceling projects across the globe, and now it looks like it will also spin off its networking unit. None of this bodes well for Intelâs activities in Israel, where itâs still one of the largest tech employers.
- New report on how desalination is critical to the Gulfâs future; could Israel play a role here? An interesting article from the Atlantic Council came across our radar last week, all about how the Gulf statesâ future (or at least their ability to truly diversify their economies by leaning into tech and AI) could rely on their ability to develop large-scale desalination capabilities + marry these with their data center buildouts. We talk about Israelâs desalination âblueprintâ and if/how it could apply to the Gulf.
đAnd our Long Play today is an interview with Nir Hirschmann Rub, CEO of the Crypto, Blockchain, Web 3.0 Companies Forum. On the heels of âCrypto Weekâ in the U.S., we talk about the state of crypto in Israel⊠and some of the unique challenges & opportunities the industry faces in the country.
