On January 24, CoinDesk reported that last November, Strategy launched Stream (STRE) — the first perpetual preferred stock for non-U.S. markets — in Europe, seeking to replicate its high-yield preferred stock model from the U.S. The product has a €100 face value and a 10% annual dividend, but was ultimately issued at a discount, pricing at just €80, raising approximately $715 million. Post-listing market response has been consistently lackluster. Analysts point to several structural reasons for STRE’s underperformance.

The market is watching whether the firm will cont

January 24 — Per GMGN monitoring, the market cap of Solana-based meme coin PENGUIN briefly topped $80 million, currently sitting at $78 million. Its current price is approximately $0.078 per token, with a 24-hour gain of 550%. This latest surge may stem from a tweet from the official White House X account stating, “Embrace the Penguin.” Subsequently, Solana co-founder Toly retweeted the post and engaged with it, sparking a sharp spike in interest in the Solana-based meme coin of the same name. Later that day at 11 a.m., a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen jumped into the conversation with a tweet. At 6 p.m. the same day, Binance Alpha added PENGUIN to its list, giving the token’s price another lift. BlockBeats notes that meme coins are extremely volatile, relying heavily on market sentiment and hype with no inherent value or practical use case. Investors are advised to exercise caution due to these risks.
