Power Hour: Crypto Treasuries, Luxe Stadiums, and Identity Wars — These Are the Stocks to Watch into the Close and After-Hours

September 8, 2025

DENVER, Colo., Sep 08, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- As we roll into the final trading hour, markets are shaking off earlier indecision and turning their attention toward a growing list of names breaking through on narrative, capital flow, and conviction. Here are the names to watch into the close and into this evening’s session.

Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ:OCTO) just rewrote the crypto playbook. Shares exploded after the company announced a $270 million private placement to support its move to adopt Worldcoin (WLD) as its primary treasury asset, a first-of-its-kind strategy in the public markets.

Key details:

  • $20M strategic investment from BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE:BMNR)
  • Incoming chairman Dan Ives called it “a significant step in the convergence of AI and human identity”
  • Plans to rebrand ticker to ORBS and fully integrate Proof of Human (PoH) tech, used to combat synthetic identity fraud

As Worldcoin expands globally with 15.9 million PoH-verified users and zero-knowledge credentialing, OCTO is being seen as a pure-play bet on biometric verification + crypto identity. Watch this closely in after-hours, momentum is unlikely to die down.

Investors love two things: growth and commitment, VENU’s (NYSE:VENU) delivering both.

CEO JW Roth personally invested $5 million into the company’s Luxe FireSuites, high-end hospitality suites within VENU’s fast-growing network of live sports and entertainment venues. Roth plans to scale that to $20 million over the next year, showing serious insider conviction.

The FireSuites business is booming:

  • 250% YoY growth
  • $77.7M in 2024 revenue, projected $200M in 2025
  • $100M annual lease revenue expected via partnership with Sands Investment Group (offering 11% cap rates)

Analysts are taking note: Cenorium “Strong Buy” PT $22.30 and Northland: PT raised from $15 to $17, which could fuel an upcoming short squeeze.

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) is heating up amid rising retail sentiment and whispers of a short squeeze setup. QS is catching flows as speculative traders rotate back into next-gen battery tech with a lower risk-reward profile.

Planet Labs (NYSE:PL) shares are climbing as it approaches its earnings report this week. Investors are looking for progress on:

  • ARR growth from recurring government and ag-tech contracts
  • Expansion in defense intelligence, climate risk, and supply chain analytics

PL has been quietly shifting from satellite imaging into data-driven environmental infrastructure, a hot space as ESG interest returns to the forefront.

LoanDepot (NYSE:LDI) is showing resilience as Treasury yields dip, helping ease pressure on mortgage lenders. With macro eyes on the CPI print later this week, LDI is quietly benefitting from sector-wide interest rate sensitivity. Homebuilder sentiment and refinancing volume upticks could support a late-session move.

Globalstar (NYSE:GSAT), Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) longtime satellite connectivity partner, is getting modest traction today amid rumors of expanded iPhone emergency SOS features in international markets. No confirmation yet, but with Apple’s fall event approaching, GSAT always becomes a pre-news bet.
