Editor's Note: Tech legend Jeff Brown — the same man who picked Tesla before it soared 2,150% — says while everyone thinks Elon's empire is crumbling, there's a $25 trillion revolution brewing that could 10X Tesla's past success. Click here to see what he uncovered or read more below...
Dear Reader,
In an all–hands-on-deck Tesla meeting, Elon Musk told his employees to:
"Hold onto your Tesla shares for dear life."
Why?
I believe it’s because as early as on October 23rd…
Tesla is about to shock the world with a brand-new AI breakthrough.
One that is helping AI escape from our computer screens…
And manifest itself here in the real world…
All while creating a new 25,000% growth market virtually overnight.
Please note, this breakthrough is not another AI software or chatbot.
Instead, it's a whole new class of artificial intelligence that, according to Bloomberg, has “investors pouring millions of dollars” into what I call “Manifested AI.”
But here’s the twist.
Tesla won’t be the best way to play this opportunity.
Instead, you can get in on this brand-new 25,000% growth market with a little-known stock that is 168 times SMALLER than Nvidia.

How Did Peter Thiel-Backed Crypto Exchange Bullish's IPO Go?
Written by Jordan Chussler. Published 8/14/2025.
Key Points
- The Trump administration has provided major tailwinds for the crypto industry, with large-cap coins and tokens enjoying eye-catching gains this year.
- Investors can increasingly gain exposure to crypto through the traditional equities market.
- The latest example is Bullish, a Peter Thiel-backed crypto exchange that had its IPO on Wednesday, Aug. 13.
It's been a strong year for the financials sector. Between the Trump administration's deregulatory agenda and the Fed's expected rate cut in September, the sector has rallied, posting an 8.55% year-to-date gain—fifth best among the S&P 500's 11 sectors. And that space is no longer solely home to banks, asset managers, or payment processors.
The administration has also been bullish on crypto. Since Inauguration Day, Bitcoin (BTC) is up 20.10%, XRP is up 44.05%, and Ethereum (ETH) has climbed 48.33%. As the industry matures, investors can now tap into crypto markets without managing hot or cold wallets directly.
One stock to replace Nvidia (Ad)
This company is the lifeblood of AI data centers, yet almost no one has caught up with the story. Their hardware is so essential that the data center industry uses enough of it to stretch around the world 8 times – in a single building! So, if you own Nvidia stock now, you might be well-served to sell those shares and check out this under-the-radar play instead. Or if you missed the boat on Nvidia, this is a rare second chance to target tremendous profit potential as AI data centers spring up in every corner of the world.
Get my full take on this exciting play right here…From spot ETFs like the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ: IBIT) to publicly traded exchanges such as Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), crypto-themed investment vehicles are increasingly available through traditional equities.
The latest entrant is Peter Thiel-backed Bullish (NYSE: BLSH), which went public on Aug. 6. In addition to owning CoinDesk, Bullish operates a crypto exchange that competes with Coinbase and Kraken (targeted for a 2026 IPO). When shares opened at $37 on Aug. 13, they spiked to a intraday high of $118 before closing up 88.8% on day one, nearly doubling the IPO price.
For speculative investors eager to add crypto exposure to their equity portfolios, it may be time to consider being bullish on Bullish.
Why Peter Thiel's Involvement Matters
Other crypto-themed IPOs in 2025 have seen mixed results. eToro (NASDAQ: ETOR) went public on May 14 to little fanfare and is down 25% since. Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ: GLXY) IPO'd two days later and is up 52%—yet insiders have sold $186.2 million in shares with no insider buying. Similarly, Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), which went public on June 5, is up 42.2% while insiders have offloaded $195.8 million.
Early investors often cash in post-IPO, but Bullish brings something unique: Peter Thiel. He co-founded PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) and served as CEO until its 2002 sale to eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) for $1.5 billion.
In 2003, Thiel co-founded Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), serving as its first chairman and remaining on the board. He was the first outside investor in Facebook and an early backer of LinkedIn, Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB), Asana (NYSE: ASAN), Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT), Reddit (NYSE: RDDT), SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI), SpaceX, Stripe, Yelp (NYSE: YELP), Zynga, and many more.
After a failed SPAC merger in 2022, Thiel guided Bullish to a successful 2025 IPO, targeting a $4.82 billion valuation.
How Bullish Sets Itself Apart
Since its 2021 launch, Bullish has exceeded $1.25 trillion in trading volume, averaging $2.6 billion daily—and trailing only its own growth, not Coinbase or Kraken. Q1 volume jumped 78% year-over-year.
Bullish CEO Tom Farley, the former NYSE president, positioned the company to serve institutional clients and listed it on the NYSE rather than NASDAQ. According to its SEC Form F-1 filing, Bullish is an "institutionally focused global digital asset platform…providing mission-critical products and services designed to help institutions grow their businesses."
Meanwhile, Coinbase and Kraken mainly cater to retail traders. Bullish, by contrast, offers a tailored platform for derivatives, margin trading, and spot trading—with an emphasis on security and compliance.
According to its SEC filing, Bullish reported adjusted EBITDA of $52 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, and $13 million for Q1 2025. Adjusted net income was $10 million and $2 million, respectively. Backed by IPO proceeds, these figures could expand rapidly—making Bullish one to watch for speculative investors.
