Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin by market cap, is announcing a $775 million investment into YouTube alternative Rumble.
Rumble says in a press release that it will be using $250 million of the proceeds to support “growth initiatives” and the remaining capital to fund a self-tender offer for up to 70 million of its Class A common stock.
Tether has agreed to acquire 103,333,333 Rumble Class A shares at $7.50. Meanwhile, Rumble chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovski will retain his controlling stake in the company.
Says Pavlovski,
“I truly believe Tether is the perfect partner that can put a rocket pack on the back of Rumble as we prepare for our next phase of growth.”
On top of Rumble’s prioritization of free speech and decentralization, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says that the company also intends to look into a crypto payment solution for the YouTube rival.
“Tether’s investment in Rumble reflects our shared values of decentralization, independence, transparency, and the fundamental right to free expression. In today’s world, legacy media has increasingly eroded trust, creating an opportunity for platforms like Rumble to offer a credible, uncensored alternative. This collaboration aligns with our long-standing commitment to empowering technologies that promote freedom and challenge centralized systems, as demonstrated through our recent collaborations and initiatives.
Rumble’s dedication to fostering open communication and innovation makes them an ideal ally as we continue building the infrastructure for a more decentralized, inclusive future. Lastly, beyond our initial shareholder stake, Tether intends to drive towards a meaningful advertising, cloud, and crypto payment solutions relationship with Rumble.”

Wells Fargo Sues JPMorgan Chase Over Soured $481,000,000 Loan, Says US Bank Aware Seller Had Inflated Income: Report

Two of the largest banks in the US are reportedly locked in a legal battle over a $481 million commercial property loan.
Wells Fargo is suing JPMorgan Chase, the largest back in the US, over accusations it greenlighted a real estate loan even though it allegedly knew that the financial statements were fraudulent, reports Reuters.
In 2019, JPMorgan issued a loan to real estate development and investment firm Chetrit Group to finance the purchase of 43 multi-family buildings with 8,671 apartments across 10 states.
Acting as the investors’ trustee, Wells Fargo alleges that JPMorgan and Chetrit knew that the sellers had fraudulently inflated the buildings’ historical net operating income by 25% even before closing the deal at $522 million.
A property’s historical net income is a financial metric that measures the income generated by a building over a specific time frame. A property’s past earnings are typically used to assess its potential value.
Wells Fargo claims that JPMorgan approved the overvalued property deal to reap millions of dollars in fees, thinking that the assets would eventually be dumped on investors who wouldn’t realize the buildings were not as profitable as declared on paper.
Chetrit’s loan turned sour in 2022 and, in the process, Wells Fargo says investors in the trust have lost tens of millions of dollars.
“[JPMorgan] had an obligation to engage in due inquiry to determine the scope of the fraudulent reporting. Instead, [JPMorgan] plowed ahead as if nothing unusual had happened without even bothering to correct known errors in the numbers.”
Wells Fargo is asking the court to order JPMorgan to either pay for damages or repurchase the loan and make the investors whole.
JPMorgan and Chetrit have not yet issued a statement regarding the case.

$3,400,000,000,000 Market Meltdown Triggers Economic Alerts From JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs As US Banks Abruptly Change Outlook
Published

March 8, 2025By

Several Wall Street banks including JPMorgan Chase are abruptly changing their forecasts for the US stock market.
JPMorgan Chase’s head of global market intelligence Andrew Tyler says the lender’s trading desk is flipping short-term bearish on the stock market amid a deteriorating macroeconomic backdrop, reports Bloomberg.
All in all, the US stock market has wiped out $3.4 trillion this year, giving up all of the gains witnessed since Trump won the election in November.
Tyler’s team sees President Donald Trump’s trade war as a headwind that could limit the US economy’s growth.
“With this in mind, we are changing our view to tactically bearish… Given the uncertainty, positioning, and potential for a negative feedback loop to push people to using the recession playbook, we think the bearish position makes the most sense.”
Earlier this week, Trump imposed 25% tariffs against both Canada and Mexico, leading to a 500-point drop in the Dow, alongside small drops in the Nasdaq and S&P 500.
As the equity market retreats, Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin says in an investor note that equity valuations are not yet low enough to trigger a significant bounce. He also believes that the stock market will only regain bullish momentum if the US economy begins to show signs of strength.
“An improvement in the US economic growth outlook will be required to fully reverse the recent equity market weakness.”
On his forecast for stocks this year, Kostin says,
“Equity returns will be more modest than last year and match the trajectory of earnings growth.”
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley believes that the stock market will see “muted” gains this year. Andrew Slimmon, the firm’s head of applied equity advisors team, says stocks have been in a bull market since 2023, leading to concerns that the market may be overvalued.
Slimmon also says that the third year of an equities bull market typically prints mediocre gains on average based on historical data.
“With enough negatives out there, including higher-for-longer interest rates and geopolitical noise, to cause a subpar year, the recently minted optimists could revert to being skeptics, only to have the market roar again in 2026. In that case, 2025 could be more of a pause year than anything more sinister.”
Last year, all three firms predicted that the S&P 500 would soar to greater heights this year, believing that a Trump presidency would create a favorable macroeconomic environment. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley predicted that the S&P 500 will reach a new all-time high of 6,500 points in 2025.

Zelle Prepares To Terminate Transactions on Mobile App, Pushing Popular Service Exclusively To Major US Banks and Financial Institutions

The popular payments platform Zelle is preparing to implement a major change to its mobile app services.
The platform says it’s preparing to terminate all transaction capabilities for businesses and consumers on the firm’s standalone mobile app, officially ending all services after March 31st.
The app, which processed approximately $20 billion in transactions in 2024, will still be available for download – but it will only offer educational details about scams and fraud and provide a list of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that utilize Zelle.
Customers’ transaction records will also be removed from the app.
The change will particularly affect customers at financial firms like Fidelity, which does not offer Zelle to people with cash management accounts.
Zelle says it’s making the change due to the popularity of Zelle within US banks and financial institutions.
“When Zelle first launched, we also created a standalone Zelle-branded app for consumers whose banks or credit unions had not yet joined the network. With the strong growth of adoption by banks and credit unions, we now see just ~2% of transactions on the standalone app.
As a result of our growth, and because most people are now using Zelle in their financial institution’s mobile app or website, we are making a change to the Zelle standalone app.”
Early Warning Services (EWS), which is owned by seven major US banks including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, says it’s reaching out “directly and repeatedly” to users of the standalone app to make sure they’re are aware of the pending changes.
