Jim Cramer , the popular host of the CNBC shows "Mad Money" and "Squawk on the Street," is well-known for dropping his hot take on the trending stocks. Whether it's the manufacturing sector or the technology sector, nothing escapes his close scrutiny.
What is remarkable about Cramer is that he has made the stock market very accessible to the average Joe, and his wildly exciting manner of presenting the latest updates keeps the audience hooked to the screens.
His calls on different stocks have generated a lot of noise over the past few years — both when he nailed them and when he failed to gauge the future trends.
Notwithstanding his loud and boisterous manner of presentation, Cramer has earned himself a loyal following over the years.
Retail traders from far-flung towns in the U.S. call Cramer during the show and ask for his advice on the prospects of stocks they are considering. And the popular CNBC host doesn't hesitate to share his opinion, however divergent from conventional wisdom it may be, to try to help his callers navigate the markets.
Jim Cramer eyes crypto market
With several crypto firms going public within the past few years, they have also attracted the attention of the veteran market analyst. Cramer has changed his opinion on crypto over the years. While he was once extremely dismissive of the emerging trend, he has over time come to appreciate the alternative offered by the crypto asset economy.
When the AI cloud company CoreWeave (Nasdaq: CRWV) announced the acquisition of the Bitcoin mining firm Core Scientific (Nasdaq: CORZ) on July 7, he called it "very positive."
Nonetheless, Cramer doesn't shy away from dissing crypto stocks he doesn't like at the moment. Despite the impressive public debut of Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), he warned that an established giant like BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) could easily outpace the stablecoin firm once it decides to go all in on the asset category.
Now, Cramer has two recommendations in the crypto sector.
On Aug. 14, he discussed two crypto stocks in detail on the "Squawk on the Street" show, which we shall dig deeper into.
Jim Cramer talks about Bullish
Launched in 2011, Peter Thiel-backed Bullish (NYSE: BLSH) is a global crypto trading exchange that went public on Aug. 13. It announced on Aug. 19 that it had arranged to receive $1.15 billion of proceeds from its recently completed initial public offering (IPO) in stablecoins, including Circle 's USDC, Ripple 's RLUSD, and Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial 's USD1.
Since its public debut, BLSH's shares have seen a decline.
Cramer said of the price movement, "Okay, so I think that it was amazing. Basically because it went up, a huge amount. And then there was profit taking... And the fact that Bullish came down a little bit made me feel okay, it's not completely crazed."
On July 9, Bullish announced a collaboration with the Solana Foundation, the aim of which is to make Solana-native stablecoins the primary crypto asset used across Bullish's exchange and clearing services.
Cramer added, "I was confused by Tom Farley, he's the CEO, talking about how it's gonna be a Solana-based business. Because you can't buy Solana at Fidelity. If you wanna buy Solana at Coinbase, you have to have a picture of your driver's license. I mean they were like carding you to buy Solana. I want to know more about Solana was their choice."
The BLSH stock was trading at $59.09 at press time, down 6.75% a day.
Robinhood Markets
Launched in 2013, Robinhood Markets (Nasdaq: HOOD) is an electronic trading platform that offers stocks and crypto assets. The company went public in 2021 and recently attracted significant media scrutiny following the launch of tokenized stocks .
Cramer thinks Robinhood is miles ahead of other platforms. "A lot of the brokers I think are sitting back, they don't want to admit it on air and say, Oh my god, Robinhood is crushing us."
He added, "Uh, I do think that Vlad Tenev has got the brokers of the future. And I think that the other guys have to catch up."
The HOOD stock was trading at $107.87, down 6.22% a day.
