S&P 500 opens higher amid key corporate earnings, Bitcoin holds $114k

U.S. stocks opened higher and Bitcoin held the $114k level as Wall Street continued to cheer corporate earnings amid ongoing jitters around trade deals.

Summary
  • Stocks opened slightly higher amid investor focus on key corporate earnings results.
  • Tariffs remain in focus amid the Aug. 7 deadline.

The benchmark S&P 500 opened 0.3% higher and the Nasdaq added 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up by 38 points.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) continued to hover near $114,000, where it has held for most of the week as sell-off pressure persists. Bitcoin reached an all-time high above $123,000 in July 2025.

Airbnb, other earnings in focus

Across the stock market, sentiment remains upbeat as earnings season drives key gains for mega-cap companies. With tech stocks taking the lead in recent weeks, Wall Street cheered the latest earnings beat from Disney (DIS).

The company’s third-quarter results drew attention after it beat estimates, driven by strong performances in its parks and streaming segments. ESPN, Disney’s sports and entertainment arm, has inked a five-year $325 million per year deal with WWE to bring premium events such as WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam to its network.

Investors have also taken time to digest the earnings of Advanced Micro Devices, McDonald’s, and Uber. AMD shares fell 5% after its earnings per share missed estimates, while Uber stock rose as the company revealed a $20 billion stock buyback plan amid its revenue beat. On the downside, Snap sank 20% after a revenue miss.

Earnings season continues today with top names set to report, including Airbnb (ABNB), DoorDash (DASH), and Lyft (LYFT).

Tariffs deadline looms

Investors remain focused on trade developments ahead of the August 7 deadline for President Donald Trump’s new tariff to go into effect. One country scrambling to make a deal is Switzerland, whose president is in Washington as the country tries to avoid a 39% tariff.

Also making headlines is news that U.S. President Trump is set to announce a domestic $100 billion investment by Apple. The company is pursuing the deal in an effort to avoid further tariff-related penalties.

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
