Valued at more than $2.2 trillion right now, the cryptocurrency market appears to be leaving the so-called crypto winter behind. Thanks to surging optimism, especially for top digital assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum , the industry is back in investors' good graces. But not all cryptocurrencies have skyrocketed. XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) , which carries a market cap of $30 billion, is up only 39% in the last 12 months.

Dividend investors don't like payout decreases or suspensions, hence the importance of finding companies that are unlikely to resort to these moves. But that's not always easy. There are plenty of dividend stocks on the market. Many will end up disappointing investors. We recently saw two such examples -- Medical Properties Trust and Walgreens Boots Alliance -- two high-profile dividend payers which slashed their payouts over the past six months.

Right now, both are up about 45% so far this year. But there's one cryptocurrency that investors have largely overlooked, and that's Solana (CRYPTO: SOL). For much of the year, Solana has been stuck near $100 -- it's up just 12% in 2024.

Finally, after two long years, things are picking back up in the crypto world. Since the beginning of the year, the total crypto market has grown by 35%, just 20% off from eclipsing its all-time high of $2.8 trillion in late 2021. With such a significant jump, it's reasonable to worry that crypto's momentum may sputter, making an investment today too risky.

The price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is based on supply and demand. However, because supply will never exceed 21 million coins, demand for the cryptocurrency is the only variable of consequence. That means the future price trajectory of Bitcoin depends entirely on whether demand increases or decreases from its current level. With that in mind, certain Wall Street analysts believe two catalysts will boost demand for Bitcoin in the future, so much so that the cryptocurrency could soar 700% or more f

Still, at a 1.6% dividend yield , it is not far above the S&P 500 average of 1.4%.

A reader asks: What’s the biggest risk in the markets right now? The simple answer here is the one everyone has been preparing for over the past 24 months — a recession. In the post-WWII era, the U.S. economy has slipped into a recession roughly once every 5 years or so, on average. Look at how spaced out those recessions (the grey bars) have become in recent decades: From the late-1940s through the early-198.
