According to @StockMKTNewz, Jim Cramer said on CNBC that Apple (AAPL) “had no cards” yesterday but now “has all of the cards,” adding that Apple’s AI strategy is “pay to play — you pay them, not they pay you,” signaling a strong monetization posture and bargaining power shift in Apple’s AI ecosystem (source: CNBC via @StockMKTNewz). For traders, Cramer’s framing implies positive sentiment for AAPL tied to AI-driven services and platform leverage, which can support momentum in Apple’s ecosystem-related names if markets read this as stronger pricing power and partner economics (source: CNBC via @StockMKTNewz). There was no direct mention of crypto or digital assets in the quoted remarks, so any impact cited here pertains specifically to Apple and investor perception of its AI strategy rather than crypto markets (source: CNBC via @StockMKTNewz).
