Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show by discussing Jim's first take on the market since his return from vacation. He said "the remarkable staying power of technology has kept this market afloat" in the face of inflation fears, the COVID-19 Delta variant outbreak, Fed taper talk and worries about a growth slowdown. Cramer explained why he believes big tech will retain its leadership role. Speaking of tech, the anchors discussed PayPal's $2.7-billion deal for Japan's Paidy and what it could mean for the payments landscape as the "buy now, pay later" market heats up. Coinbase shares falling after the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. said the SEC is threatening to sue the company over its planned "Lend" product that would allow users to earn interest by lending crypto assets.
