NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAGACOIN FINANCE, an Ethereum-based altcoin, today confirmed it has raised over $15.5 million in its presale with 14 000 + global investors participating. The achievement comes as Solana's market rally and Bitcoin ETF speculation combine to broaden investor interest across new Ethereum-built projects.

NEW YORK, Oct. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAGACOIN FINANCE, an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency project, today announced it has raised over $15.5 million in its ongoing presale with more than 14 000 global investors. The milestone arrives amid growing Bitcoin ETF anticipation, which is driving renewed interest in Ethereum-built altcoins showing measurable traction.

The VanEck Social Sentiment ETF targets U.S. stocks with strong online investor sentiment, emphasizing growth sectors like technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary. BUZZ's diversified portfolio avoids mega-cap concentration, resulting in valuations slightly below most growth ETFs but with higher volatility and a 3-year beta of 1.62. The fund has delivered outsized returns since inception, but its high volatility and tracking error make it suitable only for aggressive investors with high risk tolerance.

So-called Meme stocks — or buzz-worthy tickers investors like to talk up on social media — are making a comeback. But they look very different this time.

At this point, many advisors have come to agree that the key to navigating 2025's uncertain market is to do so through a well-diversified portfolio.  There are plenty of reasons to consider building a diversified portfolio.

I maintain a hold rating on BUZZ, citing strong Q2 earnings but cautioning about bearish seasonality and lofty valuations. BUZZ's high-momentum, large-cap growth portfolio is attractive, yet its elevated volatility and thin liquidity warrant caution. Technical indicators show weakening momentum and a risk of pullback, especially if shares dip below key support levels.

SHLD, ARKW, BUZZ and other U.S. ETFs are seeing gains ahead of July 4.

The VanEck Social Sentiment ETF invests in 75 U.S. companies with positive online sentiment, focusing heavily on technology and growth sectors. BUZZ has outperformed the Russell 1000 index recently but has lagged significantly since inception, with higher volatility and deeper drawdowns. Despite its recent outperformance, BUZZ's high expense ratio, low assets under management, high volatility, and low historical return justify a Sell rating.

Financial markets grappled with a storm of political maneuvering around trade, taxes, and regulation, stoking some investor unease. During the recent period between index selection dates (March 13, 2025 – April 10, 2025, the “Period”), U.S. equity markets experienced severe volatility as escalating trade tensions drove a sharp repricing of risk assets.
