Hey bb! With summer arriving, the market is getting hotter but weirder? 🤔In a world where ‘Charlie Bit My Finger' viral YouTube video sells for $760K as an NFT 💵we're not even surprised the Hollywood sign is up for grabs too 🎞

In other news…Spotify enters the virtual concerts space 💃🏻Square wants to be yo' fave bank (hope they don't try too hard) 💁‍♀️and, are growth stocks a thing again? 📈

Charlie Bites Finger Leaves YouTube post NFT Sale

The 2007 viral video with more than 880 million views was taken offline after selling for over $760,000, as an NFT. 💵 The famed 55-second clip features baby Charlie Davies-Carr biting his brother Harry's finger. 👌🏼"Ow, Charlie! Ow! Charlie! That really hurt!" Harry says, as Charlie giggles on his lap. "Charlie bit me. And that really hurt, Charlie, and it's still hurting." 😭

The Hollywood Sign is being sold as an NFT

Ya got any cash, Hollywood? If you don't get the Hocus Pocus reference, you gotta get on our level. Whether the season is Halloween or hot girl summer, it's a classic. And in this case, quite relevant. Production company Sugar23 👅(that's not their logo…but go with it) and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce 🎞announced that it's selling the famous Hollywood Sign… as an NFT! 🤯The Chamber's goals are to have proceeds go to “charitable initiatives, such as homelessness, education, diversity, and inclusion through their Hollywood Chamber Community Foundation.” ❤️You in? Well, the asking price is yet to be determined, as are the ‘ownership’ details. Will the bidder be able to access the real Hollywood Sign? Have a nice little picnic? A viewing party? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Return of the meme stocks?

Crowd’s favourite $GME (+6.24%) and $AMC (+6.95%) have had a recent run alongside other big technology names, as we see money rotating back from value stocks to growth.Recent decline in interest rates and lowered inflation expectations are seen as contributors to this reversal, but we can’t forget the beefy infra spending and stimuli that are yet to come. 💸Chances are they might shut this growth party down. There is still some uncertainty for what the future holds, but things certainly are looking Gucci in the short term. 💅If the rising demand continues to trend for the upcoming months, there’s one thing we can say confidently - growth is back baby! 📈

Square wants to become everyone's favorite bank

“I'm gonna make you loveee me”. ❤️ Square (SQ) wants your friendly neighborhood bank. After news that the company plans to provide savings and checking account services in the near future, SQ closed 5.5% higher. 📈It appears that the company will offer a 0.5% interest rate on its savings accounts. No monthly service charges for the new accounts, nor overdraft/minimum balance fees. Square's seemingly posing a direct threat to the conventional US finance players who've dominated the business accounts world for years 👀and it's doing so by offering perks (sure…), but primarily because it's looking to combine traditional banking with a modern FinTech flair. Millennials and Gen Z's, they can hear you screaming 🤠
