Robinhood Markets (HOOD) chief brokerage officer Steve Quirk joins Market Domination Overtime hosts Julie Hyman and Alexandra Canal to discuss retail investor trading trends. Quirk observes that following the November election, Robinhood customers "try and take advantage of what they saw as opportunities to add to [their] portfolio or remove some of the stocks in their portfolios." He highlighted increased activity in Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), and cryptocurrency investments. He also notes significant market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) rotation, explaining, "We tend to see a behavior where when they've had appreciable gains, they will take some of those gains off and then look for other names that maybe haven't participated in the rally to add to their portfolio." Quirk mentions a growing interest in 24-hour trading, with investors reacting immediately when "market-moving" news breaks. However, he cautions that "sometimes when the news first hits, there tends to be a bit of an overreaction," particularly regarding developments like tariffs, which can create buying opportunities at unexpectedly favorable price points.

Coinbase (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong announced that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to drop its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange on Friday. Bitwise senior crypto research analyst Ryan Rasmussen joins Asking for a Trend with Julie Hyman to discuss what the SEC dropping the case against Coinbase means for the crypto space and what it signals about the US President Donald Trump's second administration's approach to crypto regulation. Bitwise operates several of its own bitcoin (BITB, BITC, BTOP) and crypto (BITQ, BITW) ETFs. "It's a really monumental moment for the industry that the SEC has dropped its years-long tirade against Coinbase," Rasmussen says, explaining, "I think it's a huge signal to the market that the actual regulatory pivot that we've been hearing is going to happen, that it's actually happening in Washington already." The analyst tells Yahoo Finance he's "very excited" as "we enter this next phase of growth, of mainstream adoption, and playing by the rules" for crypto. He adds that "part of that growth will be leaving [meme coins] in the past, and I think we're on the path to do that, but it won't be, necessarily, a smooth ride there."

On Friday, Coinbase Global (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong announced that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to drop its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. Under the second Trump administration, the government agency is likely to construct more crypto-friendly regulatory frameworks. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce sits down with Yahoo Finance senior reporter Jennifer Schonberger for an extensive conversation about her agency's stance on regulating digital assets like bitcoin (BTC-USD). "What I'm hoping that we can get to is a place where we have greater clarity around how we're thinking about things... in a legal framework that is workable, that is consistent with the statute, but also enables people to figure out what... something is categorized as without hiring lots of lawyers and... having the fear of litigation hanging over them." Commissioner Peirce weighs in on the necessary registration for launching crypto products and shifts from the Biden administration's policies.

The US dollar index (DX-Y.NYB) faces downward pressure as investors struggle to interpret the Trump administration's trade policies. A new concept dubbed the "Mar-a-Lago accord" has emerged on Wall Street, a proposal by President Trump to reform global trading, address economic imbalances, and "prevent the overvaluation of the dollar." DZ Bank Head of Monetary Policy and FX Research Sonja Marten joins Morning Brief anchors Seana Smith and Brad Smith to analyze these developments. "It's really difficult to look through the very confused messaging we've been getting here," Marten says about the White House, describing Trump's first month as "difficult." "I think when you look at the market reaction (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) ... there's been some movement, but I think investors are really really struggling to see clear headway," she explains, noting that markets are attempting to balance potential economic impacts against determining which White House statements should be taken seriously. Regarding specific tariff policies, Marten emphasizes that today's environment differs significantly from 2016. The current tariffs were implemented immediately upon Trump taking office, and the "level" of tariffs is considerably more severe than during his first presidency. She adds, "I think we have a much more determined Trump to deal with." "A lot of people presume that Trump barks, but he won't bite," Marten states, warning, "I think the market is underestimating and underpricing this risk."
