Thanks to a new law Trump just signed…
Every day until April 2027 the entire GDP of Switzerland will migrate onto Trump's New Money Grid, that's $909 billion. Every single day.
That's every bank account, every fund, every mortgage, every stock trade in America.
Translation: our entire financial system is migrating onto a new blockchain-based Money Grid.
And every dollar that moves burns one scarce asset.
That's why BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Fidelity are hoarding shares like it's Black Friday.
Get in on the trade BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Fidelity are already making.
The Nasdaq just got SEC approval to move stocks onto blockchain rails.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink dedicated his entire 2026 annual letter to it.
The World Economic Forum says 2026 is "a defining moment" for this new financial infrastructure.
Everyone who's actually building this thing is saying the same thing…
This is not a drill. This is the biggest overhaul of America's money system since we stopped using gold coins.
And at the center of it all?
A scarce asset that gets burned every single time a transaction happens.
Block Chain expert Andy Howard is calling it "Digital Oil."
And right now, before this goes mainstream, you can still get in at prices the institutions would love to lock in forever.
Get the name. The ticker. And exactly how to buy here.
Your future looks bright,

As Inflation Hits 3-Year High, These 2 ETFs Are Designed to Hedge Against Rising Costs
Submitted by Jessica Mitacek. Published: 6/23/2026.
Key Points
- Alongside rising inflation, short interest for major inflation-protected funds like the Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF (SCHP) and Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (VTIP) have dropped significantly, indicating that investors increasingly expect higher consumer costs to remain sticky.
- Special Report: SpaceX is offering you shares. Don't take them.
While the price of a hot dog at Costco (NASDAQ: COST) has remained $1.50 for the past 41 years, the cost of just about every other good and service seems to have surged.
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, dining out at a full-service restaurant will now set you back 3.8% more than it did a year ago. Staying home and stocking the fridge? Non-alcoholic beverages are up 5.8%, while fruits and vegetables are up 6.1%. And if you plan to grill steaks this summer, you will have to pay an average of $14.27 per pound for sirloin, or nearly 17% more than in 2025.

Three Nobel Prize Winners expose this once-in-a-generation wealth shift:
“Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You”
Porter Stansberry exposes how the convergence of three immense forces is about to rewrite everything about the American way of life: how you work, save, invest… it’s all about to change.
Don’t be left behind. Click here now.In May, inflation—as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI)—hit 4.2%, a three-year high driven chiefly by a 23.5% year-over-year increase in energy prices. And while that energy inflation may be an outlier driven principally by the Iran war, economists expect prices to remain elevated for the remainder of the year despite a ceasefire.
For conservative-minded investors looking to safeguard their portfolios and budgets against sticky inflation, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold short-term bonds and U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)—which have their principal values directly adjusted upward with the CPI—can offer an attractive option.
As Inflation Heats Up, Bond ETFs Look Increasingly Attractive
After inflation reached a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022, the Federal Reserve’s responsive monetary policy to pandemic-era price drivers was effectively doing its job. In April 2025, the monthly CPI print had come within a fraction of the central bank’s 2% target, ultimately registering 2.3%.
However, since then, prices have been on a steady uptick, punctuated by the fallout from the Iran war. And while energy costs have soared, so too have the supply chains they affect, including petrochemicals, plastics, fertilizers and transportation.
That has increased the appeal of TIPS, which are issued by the U.S. Treasury and indexed to the CPI to help safeguard purchasing power. They are issued in five-, 10- and 30-year terms and pay interest every six months.
In an ETF structure, getting exposure to TIPS and short-term bonds can help investors insulate their portfolios while benefiting from greater liquidity. That is because bond ETFs do not have maturity dates like fixed-income alternatives. Instead, fund managers continuously buy and sell fixed income securities while maintaining a specific target and providing a steady flow of interest payments in the form of dividends—some of which are paid monthly—while also offering a layer of portfolio stability.
Schwab’s TIPS Alternative With Monthly Dividends
Launched in August 2010, the Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF (NYSEARCA: SCHP) is designed to track TIPS at an extremely low cost.
The fund carries an expense ratio of just 0.03%, and its dividend currently yields about 4%, or $1.06 per share annually.
With more than $16 billion in assets under management (AUM), SCHP invests primarily in investment-grade fixed income by tracking a market-value-weighted index of U.S. TIPS with at least one year remaining to maturity.
The ETF is about flat so far this year and over the past 52 weeks. But the idea behind investing in SCHP is its ability to provide capital preservation alongside income, which it does through its monthly dividend. However, prospective investors should note that payout amounts can fluctuate because the fund’s accrued interest is adjusted for inflation, reflecting the underlying TIPS.
Adding a layer of safety, current short interest for SCHP stands at just 0.13%. That marks a nearly 88% reduction from the prior month and reflects shifting sentiment around the likelihood of inflation remaining sticky. To put that in dollar figures, $158 million worth of shares were shorted on April 30 compared with just $20 million on May 29. That marks the lowest level since Q4 FY2025, when just $15 million worth of shares were shorted.
Vanguard’s TIPS Fund With a Longer Horizon
Launched in October 2012, the Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (NASDAQ: VTIP) mostly invests in investment-grade fixed income by tracking an index of U.S. TIPS with less than five years remaining to maturity.
Because of that broader timeline, the fund has outperformed SCHP this year with a modest gain of about 1.3%, though it is also about flat over the past 52 weeks.
With about $19 billion in AUM, VTIP also carries an expense ratio of just 0.03% and pays a dividend that currently yields about 3.6%, or $1.80 per share annually.
The fund is also a favorite among the smart money, with institutional inflows of $3.57 billion over the past 12 months, more than tripling outflows of $1.14 billion.
Meanwhile, current short interest is just 0.14%, down 1.33% over the previous month, with $24 million worth of shares shorted.
3 Tech ETFs That Could Bounce Back After the AI Selloff
Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Published: 6/20/2026.
Key Points
- The June tech sell-off showed how quickly interest-rate fears and semiconductor weakness can pressure high-growth AI stocks.
- IGM offers broad technology exposure, while WCLD gives investors a more focused cloud-computing rebound play.
- FINX is a more specialized fintech ETF, giving investors exposure to digital finance rather than traditional mega-cap tech.
- Special Report: SpaceX is offering you shares. Don't take them.
A perfect storm of factors may have fueled an unusual selloff in the AI space in June, giving investors a potential opportunity to buy before growth resumes in earnest. Expectations that the Fed would maintain or raise rates, unexpectedly soft semiconductor earnings and guidance, and a strong jobs report all led investors to reconsider whether some of the more speculative plays in the AI space were worth the risk.
Investors who remain cautious on AI—and are not ready to make a specific bet on individual names at this stage—may find tech-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be a suitable choice in the wake of the selloff. However, the AI and broader tech ETF universe is quite large, and identifying strong candidates within this expanding field can be a challenge. The funds below may be a good place to start.
A Fast-Growing and Inexpensive Broad-Based Tech Fund
Read this or regret it forever. (Ad)
Three forces converged in 1776 to create the modern world - and according to Porter Stansberry, founder of one of the largest financial research firms in the world, they're converging again right now.
From government stakes in Intel, Lithium Americas, and MP Materials to sweeping political shifts, Stansberry says this 'New 1776 Moment' could reset the entire U.S. economic system. He's sharing the stocks to buy, the stocks to sell, and three money moves to position yourself ahead of it.
Discover Porter Stansberry's full analysis and investment recommendations todayOne of the hottest tech ETFs on the market—and one that is outpacing even the broader Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ)—is the iShares Expanded Tech Sector ETF (NYSEARCA: IGM). The market-cap-weighted fund offers low-cost, broad-based exposure to the tech sector. Unlike many niche tech funds, this one has a sizable portfolio approaching 300 unique stocks. IGM primarily invests in U.S. companies but also holds a modest allocation of Canadian firms, a fact that may give it an edge over some of its competitors.
Because of its weighting strategy, IGM favors the biggest names in tech, with companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) receiving outsized allocations. That makes IGM a less compelling choice for investors looking for AI exposure specifically, but it can be a solid option for those seeking broader exposure to the tech sector.
In terms of performance, IGM has been shining this year. The fund has returned nearly 27% year-to-date (YTD), with gains extending to about 50% over the last 12 months. With an expense ratio near 0.40%—low compared with some alternatives in the tech ETF landscape—this deal may be too good for some investors to pass up.
A Cloud Computing Fund Hit by the AI Selloff
With just a fraction of the asset base of IGM but nearly double the one-month average trading volume, the WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund (NASDAQ: WCLD) also uses a much narrower strategy than its peer. WCLD targets cloud-based software companies and uses an equal-weighting approach, ensuring that its roughly 64 holdings each occupy about the same portion of the overall portfolio.
Given its focus on cloud computing companies, investors should not look to WCLD for access to larger tech stocks like the ones that dominate IGM above. Instead, this fund is a useful vehicle for building broad exposure to a number of smaller niche firms like DigitalOcean Holdings Inc. (NYSE: DOCN)—many of which can serve as a way to gain exposure to the AI market.
Because of its cloud computing focus, investors can expect to pay a bit more for WCLD, but the fund's expense ratio of 0.45% is not significantly higher than IGM's. Where it does differ for the time being is in performance: WCLD has been hit hard by the selloff and is down about 15% YTD. Investors expecting a turnaround may want to look for a suitable opportunity to buy before that happens.
Fintech Stocks Dominate in a Globally-Focused Fund
Another specialized fund, the Global X FinTech ETF (NASDAQ: FINX), holds a basket of financial services firms. The fund is particularly focused on companies driving the digital finance revolution and looks to businesses disrupting financial services around the world. U.S. stocks dominate at about 82% of the portfolio, but FINX also holds companies based in the Netherlands, Canada, Britain, New Zealand, and several other countries.
Like WCLD, FINX does not provide exposure to large tech companies, instead focusing primarily on smaller names like Fiserv Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV) and Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN). The fund is fairly concentrated at the top, with about half of its assets allocated to just 10 of its roughly 75 positions. Still, this concentration helps FINX offer a dividend yield of 0.68%, which may be an added benefit for investors looking for passive income. Otherwise, FINX has also lost value this year, falling nearly 16% YTD while charging an expense ratio of 0.68%. Bullish investors may want to watch for a reversal.
