argenx SE ((Euronext &amp;, NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGX#NASDAQ">ARGX</a>), a global immunology company committed to improving the lives of people suffering from severe autoimmune diseases, today announced clinical trial and real-world data for VYVGART&#xAE; (efgartigimod alfa-fcab) and VYVGART&#xAE; Hytrulo (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, taking place in San Diego, CA from April 5-9, 2025.
"Our goal is to help people living with rare autoimmune diseases feel and function the way they did before experiencing life with a debilitating condition. This year at AAN, we are sharing more evidence demonstrating the long-term benefits of VYVGART for patients living with gMG and CIDP," said Luc Truyen, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at argenx. "Our breadth of data continues to support VYVGART as a leading biologic. It has a proven ability to achieve minimal symptom expression for gMG patients and reduce CIDP symptoms quickly while providing improved functional ability, all with a favorable safety profile. We look forward to engaging in the latest science at AAN to continue pushing the boundaries of helping patients live better."
Abstracts at AAN will highlight real-world and clinical data demonstrating VYVGART's sustained clinical improvements, including consistent functional improvement and a favorable safety profile. In addition, presentations support an individualized treatment approach and the ambition for VYVGART to reach patients earlier in the treatment paradigm.
<ul>
<li>Additional dosing approaches achieve clinical improvements in gMG through 126 weeks: New data from ADAPT-NXT, investigating biweekly or every three-week dosing of VYVGART, demonstrated sustained clinical improvements, including minimal symptom expression (MSE), and consistent long-term safety through 126 weeks.</li>
<li>Largest long-term data set of any FcRn blocker in gMG shows sustained safety and efficacy: ADAPT-SC+ analyses of VYVGART Hytrulo demonstrate consistent safety results and sustained efficacy through nine cycles of treatment.</li>
<li>Favorable benefit-risk profile in gMG: A comparative effectiveness study of emerging immunomodulatory therapies for patients with gMG shows that Fc receptor blockers, particularly VYVGART, show a more favorable benefit-risk profile.</li>
<li>Long-term effectiveness in CIDP: Interim results from the open-label extension ADHERE+ further build upon the largest clinical data set supporting long-term efficacy, including functional improvement and safety of VYVGART Hytrulo in CIDP.</li>
<li>Switch from IVIg to efgartigimod in CIDP: The Phase 4 open-label trial is investigating effective and safe transition from stable IVIg doses to VYVGART Hytrulo within one week after last IVIg dose.</li>

Argenx to Present New Data on VYVGART's Long-Term Benefits for Autoimmune Patients at AAN Annual Meeting

Silicon Valley is buzzing over Doji, a new AI-powered fashion app that lets users create lifelike avatars of themselves and virtually try on clothing—so much so that Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) co-founder Alexis Ohanian has invested in the company.
What Happened: Launched in January 2024, Doji is a virtual try-on app that allows users to upload selfies, generate a personalized AI model, and test out different clothing styles—all from their phones.
The startup, founded by Dorian Dargan (ex-Meta, Apple) and Jim Winkens (ex-Google DeepMind), is gaining traction among tech workers, early adopters, and investors.

&#8220;Consumer is fun again thanks to AI,&#8221; Ohanian wrote last month in a post on X, formerly Twitter, where he has been sharing AI-generated outfit photos from the beta version of Doji.

Reddit Cofounder Alexis Ohanian Just Bet On An AI Fashion App That Lets You Try On Designer Clothes Without Ever Leaving Your Couch

Chinese e-commerce retailer JD.Com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) reported better-than-expected fourth quarter results and appraised the investors on its artificial intelligence developments during its earnings call. However, its shares declined in Hong Kong on Friday as it skirted the questions around the scale of investment and profitability of its newly launched food delivery business.
What Happened: While JD.com&#8217;s American depository receipts rose in the U.S. on Thursday, the Hong Kong listed shares fell on Friday after the e-commerce retailer&#8217;s management denied shedding much light on the company&#8217;s new food delivery business.
CEO, Sandy Xu spoke about various AI applications during the earnings call, &#8220;Such as AI marketing, AI customer service, developing superior algorithms for search and recommendations to increase traffic allocation efficiency, and AI-enabled streamlining of internal workflow.&#8221;
The company also launched an AI shopping assistant called Singen during the fiscal year that helped users to get personalized search results and recommendations, find the best deals and discounts, and compare products.
&#8220;We expect to see better consumption trends driven by the pickup in domestic demand and operating efficiency and user experience improvement powered by AI adoption,&#8221; said Xu.

Why It Matters: During the publication of this article, JD.com shares were down 1.40% in Hong Kong.
When asked about how the company&#8217;s new food delivery initiative called JD Takeaway will affect the company&#8217;s margin and profitability, the CEO explained that it was still in an early exploration stage, and they were making strategic and disciplined experiments and investments.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll retain flexibility to adjust our approach as the business evolves, and we&#8217;ll provide updates to investor and analysts in a timely manner,&#8221; said Xu.
JD.com&#8217;s revenue was up 13.4% year-over-year to $47.54 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44164458/jdcom-q4-earnings-double-digit-growth-retail-and-logistics-surge-hikes-dividend-to-100-per-ads">beating estimates</a>. Its adjusted net income per ADS was $1.02 and the board declared a $1.00 per ADS dividend, up from $0.76 a year ago.
Price Action: JD&#8217;s U.S. listed ADRs ended up 0.37% on Thursday, it was 28.31% higher on a year-to-date basis and up 83.08% over a year.
While the shares fell 1.40% in Hong Kong, its trading volume stood at 16.014 million shares, higher than the average volume of 13.141 million,
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JD/analyst-ratings">Benzinga tracks 16 analysts</a> with an average price target of $42 for the stock, reflecting a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating. Estimates range widely from $27 to $55. Recent ratings from Barclays, Bernstein, and Citigroup average at $50.67, suggesting a potential 15.77% upside.

JD.com Leans On AI, Industrial Robotics To Automate Processes: Hong Kong Listed Shares Fall As It Skirts Questions On Food Delivery Venture JD Takeaway

On Thursday, American EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) said it will stop taking custom orders for new Model S and X vehicles in Japan after April 1.
What Happened: The production of the higher-end Tesla cars for the Japanese market will end on March 31 and after April 1, the company will only sell stock or used vehicles in the country, Tesla said in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. It added that the company will no longer accept custom orders for new Model S and X vehicles starting in April.
&#8220;This period until production ends will be your last opportunity to purchase a new Model S or Model X in Japan, so if you are considering purchasing one, please place your order as soon as possible,&#8221; the company said.

Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a>&#8216;s request for comment on the reasons behind this decision. 
Why It Matters:&nbsp;In January 2024, Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;mourned the company's lack of market share in Japan, terming it "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43078694/tesla-offers-free-supercharging-on-model-3-y-in-japan-a-year-after-musk-mourns-companys-lack-of-market-share-in-geography">remarkably low</a>."
"Japan is the third-largest car market in the world of any country. So we should at least have a market share proportionate to, say, other non-Japanese carmakers like Mercedes or BMW, which we do not currently have," Musk then said while adding that there is a lack of awareness of Tesla in the country.
The Model S and X are Tesla&#8217;s more premium cars. While the Model S starts at 12.67 million yen in Japan, the Model X starts at 14.17 million yen.

Elon Musk Mourned Tesla's Lack Of Market Share In Japan In 2024: EV Giant To Now Halt Sale Of New Model S, X Vehicles In Country

Smith &amp; Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWBI#NASDAQ">SWBI</a>) shares plunged 7.99% in after-hours trading on Thursday after the firearms manufacturer reported third-quarter fiscal results that missed analyst revenue expectations.
What Happened: The Maryville, Tennessee-based company reported quarterly revenue of $115.9 million, falling short of the estimated $119.5 million, reflecting a 2.99% decline, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWBI/earnings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Net sales were down 15.7% compared to the same quarter last year. SWBI reported earnings per share of $0.04, while adjusted EPS came in at $0.02, down significantly from $0.19 in the comparable quarter last year.
&#8220;Our top line revenue for the third quarter came in slightly below our target range,&#8221; said Mark Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;However, lower operating expenses and leveraging of our flexible manufacturing model allowed us to deliver on EPS and EBITDAS expectations.&#8221;
Gross margin declined to 24.1% from 28.7% in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting pressure on the company&#8217;s core product portfolio. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was $13.3 million, or 11.5% of net sales, compared with $21.4 million, or 15.6% of net sales, a year ago.

Why It Matters: Despite weaker results for existing products, Smith said, &#8220;new products continue to perform very well,&#8221; accounting for over 41% of sales in the quarter, suggesting potential market share gains in those categories.
&#8220;We anticipate that the firearms market will remain steady at current demand levels,&#8221; Smith added, maintaining the company&#8217;s previous guidance of full-year revenue 5-10% lower than fiscal 2024.
The company&#8217;s board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on Apr. 3, to stockholders of record on Mar. 20.
Smith &amp; Wesson&#8217;s 2025 lineup includes the Model 1854 lever-action rifle in .357 Magnum (walnut or polymer furniture) and a &#8220;Stealth Hunter&#8221; variant with a shorter barrel, M-LOK forend, and HIVIZ sights, <a href="https://www.hookandbarrel.com/shooting/smith-wessons-new-firearms-for-2025">according</a> to Hook &amp; Barrel Magazine. The No-Lock Classic Revolvers bring back the Model 36, Model 10, and Model 19 without internal locks. New Lipsey's Exclusive revolvers include the lightweight Model 632-UC Ti (.32 H&amp;R Mag) and the 686-Plus and 629 Mountain Guns with walnut grips. The CSX E-Series micro-compacts now feature optics-ready designs and improved grip modularity.
For 2024, Smith &amp; Wesson introduced the M&amp;P 22 Magnum (30-round), Performance Center M&amp;P 10mm (ported barrel), and Model 1854 .44 Magnum.
Price Action: SWBI stock closed Thursday at $11.02, up 2.04% in regular trading, before falling to $10.14 in after-hours trading. The stock is up 10.42% year-to-date but down 16.32% over the past year.
Smith &amp; Wesson Brands Inc. has a $13 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWBI/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a>, with Lake Street setting both the high and low. Recent ratings from Lake Street and Craig-Hallum imply a 28.21% upside.

Smith & Wesson Falls 8% After-Hours On Revenue Miss, CEO Mark Smith Says 'New Products Continue To Perform Very Well'

On Thursday, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) CEO Hock Tan dismissed speculation about a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43761300/intel-could-be-split-in-two-as-broadcom-and-tsmc-explore-deals-trump-white-house-resists-foreign-ownership-report">potential merger and acquisition</a> with Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).
What Happened: During Broadcom's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44181200/broadcom-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-revenue-beat-strong-guidance-we-expect-continued-strength-in-ai-semiconductor-revenue">first-quarter earnings</a> call, analyst Vijay Rakesh asked Tan about potential M&amp;A, referencing the Intel split rumors.
In response, Tan made it clear that acquisitions are not on the table for now. "M&amp;A, no, I'm too busy—we're too busy doing AI and VMware at this point," he stated.
Tan's comments come amid reports that Broadcom is eyeing Intel's chip design and marketing business while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is considering acquiring some or all of Intel's chip plants.

Why It's Important: Broadcom posted a first-quarter revenue of $14.92 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $14.61 billion. The semiconductor giant also reported adjusted earnings of $1.60 per share for the quarter, exceeding the projected $1.49 per share.
Following the earnings announcement, Broadcom shares <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44184068/broadcom-beats-estimates-despite-chip-selloff-gary-black-says-this-should-help-ai-stocks-tomorrow-jim-cramer-calls-decline-a-mistake">surged nearly 13%</a> in after-hours trading, recovering from a previous decline during regular trading hours.
The strong performance in AI results has been a significant factor in boosting investor confidence, as noted by market analysts like Gary Black and Jim Cramer.
Price Action: Broadcom&#8217;s stock closed at $179.45 on Thursday, reflecting a 6.33% drop. However, it rebounded in after-hours trading, gaining 12.82%. Year to date, the stock has fallen by 22.64%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan Brushes Off Intel Acquisition Speculation: 'M&A, No, I'm Too Busy...'

Jailed cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried shared his prison experience and interaction with fellow inmate rapper&nbsp;Sean Combs, popularly known as "Diddy," according to an interview released Thursday.
What Happened: In an interview with popular media personality&nbsp;Tucker Carlson, Bankman-Fried said Diddy has been &#8220;kind&#8221; to people in the unit, including himself. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s a position no one wants to be in. You know, obviously he doesn&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t,&#8221; the disgraced founder of FTX cryptocurrency exchange said. &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of a soul-crushing place for the world in general.&#8221;
Bankman-Fried said that the prison environment was a combination of high-profile cases and a &#8220;lot of&#8221; alleged ex-gangsters.
Talking about the other inmates, he said that many former armed robbers are &#8220;fairly good&#8221; at chess.

Sam Bankman-Fried Says Prison Inmate Diddy Has Been 'Kind' To Him: 'It's A Position No One Wants To Be In'

President Donald Trump's executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve did not have the expected bullish impact on Thursday, as the leading cryptocurrency dropped on the announcement.
What happened: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin</a> already owned by the federal government, obtained through forfeiture proceedings, valued at approximately $17 billion. Additionally, a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile would be set up, consisting of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. Both entities will be under the control of the Treasury Department, the order read.
The order directed all federal agencies to provide a full accounting of all assets held in their possession to the Treasury Secretary President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets within the next 30 days
While the government won't sell any BTC, it will also not buy any new Bitcoin unless it can do so in a "budget-neutral" way and without imposing incremental costs on American taxpayers.
Noted economist and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff interpreted it as simply seizing more Bitcoin and adding them to the reserve.
"But they can&#8217;t buy any more, as buying by definition requires a payment," Schiff said.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I had not read the full text. Apparently it does authorize acquiring more Bitcoin so long as they can do so at zero cost. So I guess that means if they seize any more Bitcoin they can keep that too. But they can&#39;t buy any more, as buying by definition requires a payment.

Bitcoin advocate God Almaxi argued that the government can sell other seized assets to buy Bitcoin as long as there's no net cost for taxpayers.&nbsp;

Another well-known cryptocurrency influencer, Kashif Raza, said the dull reaction was due to high expectations that the government would buy 200,000 BTC per year.&nbsp;
Notably, Sen. Cynthia Lummis' (R-Wyo.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42080839/cynthia-lummis-says-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-could-take-shape-soon-after-trump-raises-his-hand-and-is-sworn-in">legislation </a>had proposed the purchase of 1 million Bitcoins over five years.
Raza further highlighted that there was no provision to buy additional assets for the Digital Asset Stockpile—presumably consisting of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), and Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>).

Trump-Announced Strategic Bitcoin Reserve To Allow Buying Additional BTC? Peter Schiff Doesn't Think So But Here's What The Order Says

What Happened: On Thursday, renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities took to X, formerly Twitter, and said that Xiaomi is using Bright Laser Technologies's 3D printing technology to manufacture the metal mid-frame of the Xiaomi 16 Pro, expected to launch in late 2025.
"The advantage of producing smartphone mid-frames with 3D printing lies in its ability to leverage hollow designs, which reduce weight and enhance thermal performance without compromising structural strength," Kuo stated.

Previously, production efficiency was a major obstacle to 3D printing adoption in smartphones. However, Kuo notes that as technology improves, manufacturers will increasingly embrace 3D printing, even before it matches the efficiency of traditional methods.
&#8220;This shift echoes past innovations: before Apple pioneered CNC technology for making MacBook unibody metal casing, few believed such a process could scale to consumer electronics,&#8221; the analyst stated.

Why It's Important: According to a February 2025 Canalys report, the global smartphone market saw a 7% growth in 2024, reaching 1.22 billion units and reversing a two-year decline.
Apple retained its position as the top vendor for a second consecutive year. However, iPhone shipments for the year declined by 1% to 225.9 million units.
Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) secured the second spot, maintaining its focus on profitability, with its shipments also falling by 1% to 222.9 million units.
Xiaomi held onto third place and played a key role in driving overall market growth. With strong momentum in Mainland China and ongoing expansion into emerging markets, Xiaomi's shipments surged by 15% to 168.6 million units.

Will Your Next Smartphone Be 3-D Printed? Analyst Suggests This Pro Model Phone Could Spur That Change

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives added Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) to the firm&#8217;s Best Ideas List on Thursday, reiterating an &#8220;Outperform&#8221; rating and $550 price target despite growing challenges facing the electric vehicle maker.
What Happened: &#8220;This is a gut check moment for Tesla bulls after this massive sell-off,&#8221; Ives posted on X, calling the current situation a critical juncture where negative sentiment has overshadowed Tesla&#8217;s potential as &#8220;a unique disruptive global tech story.&#8221;
Ives addressed the &#8220;elephant in the room&#8221; – CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency and his close relationship with President Donald Trump. He estimates &#8220;less than 5% of Tesla sales globally are at risk&#8221; despite widespread brand concerns.

Despite these challenges, Ives remains bullish on Tesla&#8217;s future, pointing to upcoming innovations including a sub-$35,000 model and the launch of unsupervised Full Self-Driving in Austin this June. Ives values Tesla&#8217;s autonomous technology potential at $1 trillion alone.

About $537 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, including $111 million in the last hour alone.
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell 2.58% in the last 24 hours, while the percentage of traders positioned short on the apex cryptocurrency increased to 51%.
Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index improved from "Extreme Fear" to "Fear" as of this writing.

Broadcom, Costco, Intuitive Machines, Walgreens, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

The State Department, under Secretary Marco Rubio, is reportedly launching an AI-driven initiative to revoke the visas of foreign students who express views deemed supportive of Hamas.
What Happened: In a policy shift, the State Department will deploy artificial intelligence to analyze the social media activity of student visa holders, searching for signs of sympathy toward Hamas or other designated terrorist organizations, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/06/state-department-ai-revoke-foreign-student-visas-hamas">reported</a> Axios, citing senior officials.
The effort, known as &#8220;Catch and Revoke,&#8221; will also review past arrests, school suspensions, and media reports on anti-Israel demonstrations to determine whether a visa should be revoked.
See Also: <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43216186/hamas-releases-four-female-israeli-soldiers-after-more-than-a-year-in-captivity">Hamas Releases Four Female Israeli Soldiers After More Than a Year in Captivity</a>
The initiative is being coordinated with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.
Officials say the move follows a review of 100,000 students in the Student Exchange Visitor System, which found that no visas had been revoked during the Joe Biden administration despite instances of student arrests.
Rubio and other officials argue that prior policies allowed foreign nationals to engage in what they call extremist rhetoric without consequences.

Why It Matters: On Tuesday, during <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44133368/trumps-congressional-address-taps-elon-musk-for-government-overhaul-revives-drill-baby-drill-for-energy-boom">his Congressional address</a>, President Donald Trump pledged to cut off federal funding to educational institutions that permit what he describes as unlawful protests.
&#8220;Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or .. arrested,&#8221; he stated at the time.
Hamas is officially classified as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
Last month, Israel announced <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43780545/israel-to-begin-negotiations-with-hamas-for-permanent-cease-fire-release-of-remaining-hostages">plans to enter negotiations</a> with Hamas to secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and facilitate the release of remaining Israeli hostages.

SpaceX marked a significant advancement in rocket reusability on Mar. 7 when the launch tower successfully caught its Super Heavy booster during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/03/44158838/elon-musks-spacex-starships-next-test-flight-further-postponed-to-thursday">Starship&#8217;s eighth test flight</a>, though the mission ended with the loss of the Starship upper stage.
What Happened: The mission launched from Starbase in Texas after overcoming technical delays that had scrubbed an earlier Mar. 3 attempt. The flight featured several critical tests, including deploying four Starlink satellite simulators and reentry experiments designed to advance the Starship system&#8217;s capabilities.

Why It Matters: While the booster capture proved successful, the Starship upper stage encountered problems similar to those experienced during Flight 7. After restarting a single Raptor engine in space—a critical capability for future lunar and Mars missions—SpaceX lost contact with the vehicle, which subsequently crashed.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Successfully Catches Super Heavy Booster With 'Mechazilla,' But Starship Upper Stage Lost In Test Flight

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio doesn't do baseless fearmongering. When he speaks, people listen—because he's spent decades successfully predicting economic shifts, financial crises, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43969651/billionaire-ray-dalio-says-ai-risks-totalitarian-control-or-anarchy-as-it-could-reshape-world-in-next-5-years-here-is-a-list-of-ai-linked-etfs-for-investors-to-consider">and global power shifts</a>. And his latest warning? The U.S. may have crossed a line where political and social conflicts are no longer solvable through discussion.
"We are probably past the point of being able to resolve that by compromise and empathy and all of that," Dalio said during his appearance on <a href="https://youtu.be/0j1gcGD5DrA?si=dJGMa8bNax0Xfm3j">Tucker Carlson's show last month</a>.

</ul>
This isn't just a passing comment. Dalio is saying that the nation's internal divisions are now so severe that traditional resolutions—like bipartisan cooperation and civil discourse—are no longer viable. His words paint a bleak picture of a country that may be on an irreversible path toward deeper turmoil.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dalio's Track Record: Why His Warnings Matter</h2>
Dalio isn't some doomsday prophet making wild predictions. He's the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, which has managed over $170 billion in assets. He called the 2008 financial crisis before it happened and has been studying economic cycles for decades. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43901059/ray-dalios-holy-grail-investment-strategy-why-10-15-diversified-investments-could-make-you-a-fortune">expertise isn't just in markets</a>—it's in understanding global systems, historical trends, and human behavior.
So when he says the U.S. is facing a crisis beyond repair, it's not a random hot take. It's based on patterns he's seen throughout history—and he believes the warning signs are flashing bright red.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A ‘Civil War' of Values and Wealth</h2>
Carlson pressed Dalio to elaborate on his claim that the U.S. is in a civil war, noting that "most Americans don't perceive that." Dalio clarified that while it's not a traditional civil war, it is a "type of civil war" driven by "irreconcilable differences."
"What I mean is that there are irreconcilable differences that each side is willing to fight for in order to get the outcomes that they want," he explained.
The division, in his view, isn't just about politics. It's a combination of economic disparity, clashing values, and growing distrust in institutions.
<ul>
<li>The wealth gap is exploding. The rich are getting richer, while 60% of Americans struggle with below a sixth-grade reading level—making it even harder for them to adapt to a rapidly changing job market.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Political polarization is at historic levels. Dalio cited data showing that the gap between conservative and liberal votes in Congress is the largest since 1900 and that the number of votes crossing party lines is the lowest in over a century.</li>
<li>People no longer trust the system. "Does the legal system stand in the way of that fight? Or is there going to be a fight that will make the cause more important than anything?" Dalio asked.</li>
</ul>
His conclusion? The U.S. is no longer functioning as a unified nation.

<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Nation on the Brink of Fragmentation</h2>
Dalio doesn't believe this division will magically heal itself. Instead, he predicts that the U.S. will break apart even further.
"I think we're going to more fragmentation," he said, suggesting that different states will become increasingly isolated from one another, operating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43756938/ray-dalio-warns-of-looming-us-debt-crisis-says-america-faces-economic-heart-attack-without-fiscal-cuts">under vastly different rules</a> and priorities.
This isn't just speculation. He said we're already seeing it play out:
<ul>
<li>Sanctuary city policies have created deep rifts between federal and state governments over immigration enforcement.</li>
<li>States like California and Texas are essentially operating as their own economic powerhouses with drastically different approaches to governance.</li>
<li>Legal battles over Supreme Court decisions continue to erode public confidence in the justice system.</li>
</ul>
Dalio argues that historically, these types of divisions do not end peacefully. He points out that conflict—whether social, political, or even violent—is the usual outcome when societies reach this level of polarization.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Anything Stop This?</h2>
When Carlson pressed Dalio on potential solutions, he didn't offer much optimism.
"The only thing that can be done is to have the fear of that create a necessity for having another path," he said.
In other words, unless Americans truly grasp how bad things could get, they won't be motivated to fix it. The problem? He doesn't believe that's happening fast enough.
Dalio compared today's crisis to past historical cycles where nations ignored warning signs until it was too late. He doesn't see any serious efforts to bridge the divide—and that's what worries him most.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts: A Warning We Can't Ignore</h2>
Dalio has built his career on spotting trends before they become crises. His latest warning isn't just about politics—it's about the fundamental breakdown of cooperation, economic stability, and national unity.
If he's right, the U.S. isn't just in a rough patch. It may be on an irreversible course toward fragmentation and conflict.

'Probably Past the Point of Compromise and Empathy' — Billionaire Investor Ray Dalio Tells Tucker Carlson We're Already In A 'Civil War'

White House-appointed ‘AI and Crypto Czar' David Sacks revealed that President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve on Thursday, a move that will not cost taxpayers.
What Happened: In an X post, Sacks stated that the reserve will be funded with Bitcoin owned by the federal government, obtained through criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. &#8220;This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime,&#8221; he added. The U.S. government is estimated to own about 200,000 bitcoin, but a complete audit has never been conducted. The Executive Order directs a full accounting of the government&#8217;s digital asset holdings. The reserve is worth approximately $17 billion at prevailing price for the apex cryptocurrency.

According to Sacks, the U.S. will not sell any Bitcoin deposited into the Reserve, instead keeping it as a store of value. He likened the Reserve to a &#8220;digital Fort Knox&#8221; for the cryptocurrency often referred to as &#8220;digital gold.&#8221;

&#8220;The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers,&#8221; Sacks mentioned.
Additionally, the Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than Bitcoin that were forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록의 메모</h2>
S&amp;P 글로벌에 따르면, 미국과 캐나다의 M&amp;A 활동이 2023년과 비교하여 둔화되었다.
<ul>
<li>3분기에 발표된 미국과 캐나다의 거래 수는 4,153건으로, 전분기 대비 4.3% 감소했지만, 2023년 3분기와 비교하면 2% 증가했다.</li>
<li>총 거래 가치는 3,659억 9,000만 달러로, 2분기 3,016억 2,000만 달러 및 작년 같은 기간 2,827억 7,000만 달러에서 증가했다.</li>
<li>2024년 첫 9개월 동안 미국과 캐나다에서 12,680건의 M&amp;A 거래가 발생했다. 이는 2023년 같은 기간에 비해 13,203건보다 적다.</li>
<li>2024년 1~3분기 M&amp;A 거래 가치는 약 1조 5억 달러로, 2023년 3개월 동안 8,383억 2,000만 달러에서 증가했다.</li>
</ul>
S&amp;P 글로벌 마켓 인텔리전스에서 분기별 M&amp;A 보고서를 작성하는 조 만토네(Joe Mantone)는 다음과 같이 말했다:
BZ: 최근 거래 데이터에서 놀라운 점이 있었나?
Mantone: 거래 수가 전분기 대비 감소한 것은 계절적 경향을 고려할 때 그리 놀랍지 않다. 거래는 여름철 3분기 동안 느려지는 경향이 있다. 전년 대비 거래 증가가 M&amp;A가 회복되고 있다는 약간의 증거를 제공한다. 그러나 활동 수준은 여전히 역사적 기준에 미치지 못하며, 미국과 캐나다에서 발표된 거래 수는 지난 6개 분기 동안 크게 변동하지 않았다.
BZ: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">금리</a> 변동으로 4분기가 강하게 마무리될 것으로 예상하나?
금리가 낮아지면 M&amp;A에 더 유리한 환경을 조성하고, 발표된 거래 수가 현재 수준을 넘어설 수 있도록 도와준다. 특정 분기의 활동을 예측하기는 어렵지만, 금리가 낮아지는 것이 M&amp;A의 촉매제가 될 것이라고 생각한다. 특히 2025년으로 넘어가면서 사모펀드와 관련된 거래에 그렇다. 사모펀드 회사들은 충분한 자금을 보유하고 있으며, 낮은 금리는 인수 자금 조달 비용을 낮추어 매수 측의 레버리지 사용에 유리하다. 저렴한 부채를 이용할 수 있는 구매자는 일반적으로 가치 평가를 높여 사모펀드가 포트폴리오 회사를 매각하는 거래가 더 많아지게 한다.
BZ: 선거일 이후 딜메이커들이 어떤 반응을 보일 것으로 예상하는지?
총 거래 가치 측면에서 4분기는 2023년 4분기에 일부 대형 거래가 있었기 때문에 전년 대비 비교가 어려운 상황이다. 선거를 앞두고 큰 거래에 대한 일시 중지가 있을 수 있지만, 딜메이커가 결과에 따라 전략적 계획을 완전히 변경할 것이라고는 의심하지 않는다.
