MullenArmy

MULN CRYPTO is trending amidst highly polarized community sentiment, with many investors connecting the token to the controversial history of the original Mullen Automotive stock, citing past dilution and alleged misleading practices. While a "Mullen Army" promotes the token as a community-driven project with utility, a dominant conversation points to concerns about it being a "scam coin" or "rug pull" due to extremely low trading activity and perceived lack of intrinsic value. The narrative is heavily influenced by ongoing discussions around a class-action settlement related to the stock's history, fueling widespread skepticism.

Alchemy Pay

Alchemy Pay is trending amid strong community debate, fueled by recent developments including new Money Transmitter Licenses, expanding fiat on-ramps for major stablecoins like Ripple's RLUSD, and the introduction of tokenized stock access. Many see it as a "sleeping giant" poised for a significant structural upgrade with its evolving Alchemy Chain, while others remain skeptical, viewing it as a "pump and dump" despite its growing global payment utility.

Binance Coin is the cryptocurrency of the Binance platform. It is a trading platform exclusively for cryptocurrencies. The name "Binance" is a combination of binary and finance.  Thus, the startup name shows that only cryptocurrencies can be traded against each other. It is not possible to trade crypto currencies against Fiat. The platform achieved an enormous success within a very short time and is focused on worldwide market with Malta headquarters. The cryptocurrency currently has a daily trading volume of 1.5 billion - 2 billion US dollars and is still increasing.  In total, there will only be 200 million BNBs.

These include trading fees, transaction fees, listing fees and others. Binance gives you a huge discount when fees are paid in BNB.   The schedule of BNB fees discount is as follow: In the first year, 50% discount on all fees, second year 25% discount, third year 12.5% discount, fourth year 6.75 % discount, and from the fifth year onwards there is no discount. This structure is used to incentivize users to buy BNB and do trades within Binance.  Binance announced in a buyback plan that it would buy back up to 100 million BNB in Q1 2018.

In the future, the cryptocurrency will remain an asset on the trading platform and will be used as gas.  Other tokens that are issued by exchanges include Bibox Token, OKB, Huobi Token, and more.

In addition to Blue Bottle, the company has looked at the China operator of % Arabica coffee stores.

Luckin was delisted from the Nasdaq in 2020 after the company overreported its revenue, resulting in a regulatory fine.

Luckin Coffee Prepares To Relist Shares In US – Can It Brew Fresh Competition For Starbucks?

Starbucks Corp. shares fell for a second consecutive session on Thursday but edged up after hours, with retail traders remaining largely optimistic about the coffee chain's turnaround under new CEO Brian Niccol.There could be more upside heading into Friday, as a Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/starbucks-china-valued-about-5-billion-by-bidders-sources-say-2025-09-05/">report</a>, citing two people familiar with the matter, stated that Starbucks' China operations have attracted multiple bidders, valuing the business at up to $5 billion. A deal would help the company monetize a stake in its second-largest market, where it faces sluggish economic growth and fierce competition from local brands.Bloomberg previously&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/Starbucks-china-operations-jd-tencent-kkr-among-potential-investors/chr3YU9RdGt">reported</a> that Starbucks had shortlisted about a dozen firms, including private equity giants Carlyle and KKR, to bid for a potential investment or partnership in China. Starbucks has not publicly commented on the reports.Despite being the U.S. chain's key growth market, China has seen Starbucks lose ground to rivals like&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/LKNCY">Luckin Coffee</a> (LKNCY) and Cotti Coffee, both of which have grown rapidly with cheaper offerings and frequent product launches.On Thursday, Macquarie analyst Linda Huang initiated coverage of Luckin with an 'Outperform' rating and a $52 price target, citing China's coffee boom as per-capita consumption rises.&nbsp;Luckin has already surpassed Starbucks as China's largest coffee chain, operating 26,000 stores as of mid-2025, and is expected to post annual net profit growth of at least 20%, according to Huang.Valuations reflect the divergence:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">Starbucks</a> trades at a forward P/E of 34.8x compared with Luckin's 17x.

Starbucks Said To Have Landed $5B Valuation For China Business Amid Intense Battle With Luckin Coffee

Luckin has already surpassed Starbucks as China's largest coffee chain, operating 26,000 stores as of mid-2025, and is expected to post annual net profit growth of at least 20%, according to an analyst.

Starbucks has shortlisted a dozen firms, including private equity and technology companies, to bid for a potential investment or partnership for the coffee chain's China operations, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.The <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">report</a>, which cited people familiar with the situation, named Boyu Capital, Carlyle Group, EQT AB, FountainVest Partners, KKR, Hillhouse Investment, and Primavera Capital, as well as Chinese tech giants JD.com (JD) and Tencent Holdings (TCEHY).The shortlisted firms will be given access to the coffee chain's China financials,&nbsp;allowing them to&nbsp;evaluate and prepare bids in the coming months.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for the company's shares was 'extremely bullish' as of the last reading.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">SBUX shares</a> are down 2.3% year-to-date.For months, Starbucks has been evaluating options for its China business, which include a partial or complete stake sale,&nbsp;as well as a financial and&nbsp;operational partnership with a local firm.Some earlier reports valued the business at up to $10 billion, though analysts have called that figure overstated.China is the second-largest market for the U.S. coffee chain. Still, Starbucks has recently lagged behind local chains like Luckin Coffee (LKNCY) and Cotti Coffee, which have boomed with much cheaper alternatives and frequent product launches. Starbucks has responded by lowering prices and offerings such as fruit teas and sugar-free options on its China menus.The process comes amid significant weakness in the business and a company-wide turnaround effort. In recent years, inflation-weary consumers have&nbsp;shied away from Starbucks coffee and food, amid a broader&nbsp;trend of cutting back on&nbsp;dining out.Since CEO Brian Niccol took over in September last year,&nbsp;Starbucks has been cutting costs, boosting staffing at U.S. stores, and refreshing its menu and cafe designs.In the last quarter, Starbucks' global same-store sales&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/starbucks-q3-print-largely-disappoints-even-as-ceo-pitches-a-wave-of-innovation-in-2026-retail-isnt-convinced-yet/choQVrgR5yr">dropped</a> at a more-than-expected 2% rate, deaccelerating for the sixth straight quarter, although comparable sales rebounded in the Chinese market.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/uniqlo-adidas-latest-to-warn-us-price-hikes-as-trump-slaps-tariffs-on-asian-manufacturing-hubs/chr3FPXRdGV">Uniqlo, Adidas Latest To Warn US Price Hikes As Trump Slaps Tariffs On Asian Manufacturing Hubs</a>

Could China’s Luckin Coffee rival Starbucks in the U.S.? Bernstein weighs in

Investing.com - Luckin Coffee has rapidly grown in recent years, particularly in its home market of China, where the chain has moved to entice customers with cheaper prices and speedy digital payments.

Starbucks is&nbsp;considering a partial or full sale of its China business, with a recent news report&nbsp;suggesting that it could be <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/starbucks-china-bidding-heats-up-coffee-giant-reportedly-weighs-offers-for-controlling-stake/chFUo7vR5Lf">valued at</a> up to $10 billion. However, analysts caution that&nbsp;this may be an ambitious figure, given the rising competition in the Chinese market and waning consumer interest in Starbucks cafes."This may be overvaluing the business and not placing enough weight on how competitive China's coffee market is, or how much Starbucks is currently struggling to create a clear identity in the market," Ben Cavender, managing director of China Market Research Group,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/10/why-investors-think-starbucks-china-business-may-be-overvalued.html">told CNBC</a> on Thursday.Starbucks is engaged in talks with potential investors, and a bidding process is underway. The plan to&nbsp;explore strategic options for the China business&nbsp;began as early as late last year,&nbsp;according to media reports, and now Starbucks may be considering a complete sale, rather than its earlier plan to bring in a minority investor."We expect $10B would need to reflect the buyer's view that there is room to quickly recoup sales lost during COVID," or improve its profitability, analysts at Citi said in a note Thursday.TD Cowen said a valuation range of $2.6 billion to $4.7 billion is "more realistic."Starbucks, which opened its first cafe in China in 1999, has faced increasing competition from lower-priced local rivals, such as Luckin and Cotti, in recent years. Globally, the company is also navigating headwinds as consumers pull back on discretionary spending due to frail economic conditions in several places.Starbucks' revenue from China has declined from $3.7 billion in 2021 to $3 billion in the previous year, despite opening hundreds of new stores. Last month, Starbucks cut prices on some of its beverages in China.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for the coffee chain's stock remained 'bullish,' unchanged from a week ago.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">SBUX shares</a> have gained 4% year-to-date.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:594/71;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_07_11_at_11_35_39_AM_png_294d1b2c55.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-11 at 11.35.39 AM.png" width="594" height="71"><figcaption>SBUX sentiment and message volume as of July 10 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>"Consumers are rejecting their products at current prices," and Starbucks will need to cut prices, one user said.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/edemilla/message/620547617</stembedurl>The plan for the China business is part of a business revival strategy under Brian&nbsp;Niccol, who took over as&nbsp;Starbucks CEO in October last year.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nike-replaces-converse-chief-to-revive-iconic-canvas-sneaker-brand/ch8Ty9ZR5lQ">Nike Replaces Converse Chief To Revive Iconic Canvas Sneaker Brand</a>
