Bitcoin Taps $107,000 Again, Ethereum, Dogecoin Flat: Analyst Says 'Massive' ETF Inflows A Bullish Sign For Future BTC Price Movement

Silicon carbide component manufacturer&nbsp;Wolfspeed Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) is preparing to file for&nbsp;prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the coming weeks.
What Happened: Facing mounting debt and failed out-of-court restructuring talks with key creditors, the company is reportedly pursuing bankruptcy options, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/wolfspeed-prepares-to-file-for-bankruptcy-within-weeks-7bd98040">report</a> from the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The company, which was expected to benefit from U.S. government efforts to expand domestic semiconductor production through the 2022 CHIPS Act, has struggled to address its $6.5 billion debt, including a $575 million balloon payment due in May 2026.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45532892/legendary-investor-jeremy-grantham-warns-of-50-stock-market-crash">Legendary Investor Jeremy Grantham Warns Of 50% Stock Market Crash</a>
Wolfspeed is aiming for a bankruptcy plan that would have the support of the majority of its creditors. This comes after rejecting a debtholder restructuring deal in March, following pushback from Apollo Global Management LLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>). 
The deal involved converting some of its convertible debt holdings and loans into equity, which would have diluted Apollo&#8217;s position.
Apollo, which owns $1.5 billion of Wolfspeed&#8217;s debt, sits on top of the company&#8217;s credit stack and has the right to approve any new secured financing deal. It also has a make-whole provision in its agreement, which essentially shields the PE firm from losses in the event of a bankruptcy, according <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895419/000119312523174504/d462549d8k.htm">to</a> Wolfspeed&#8217;s SEC filings. 
Wolfspeed had previously said it was exploring restructuring or bankruptcy options after difficulties refinancing its debt threatened its ability to access up to $750 million in taxpayer funds through the CHIPS Act. That funding was contingent on the successful refinancing of convertible notes maturing in 2026, 2028, and 2029.
Both Wolfspeed and Apollo have yet to respond to Benzinga&#8217;s requests for a comment on this matter. The story will be updated once we hear back.
Why It Matters: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45303071/wolfspeed-stock-slides-after-q3-revenues-miss-estimates-heres-what-to-know">third quarter results</a> two weeks ago, Wolfspeed outlined plans to strengthen its capital structure and improve its path to profitability.
The company recently hired an ex-Micron executive, Robert Feurle, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515658/wolfspeed-names-ex-micron-exec-feurle-as-ceo-to-revive-struggling-chipmaker">its new CEO</a>, who comes with several decades of semiconductor experience, to help in its turnaround efforts.
Price Action: Wolfspeed&#8217;s shares were down 10.32% on Tuesday, ending the day at $3.13 per share, and are down 60.38% after hours. The stock is down 52.79% year-to-date.

Wolfspeed Reportedly Prepping Bankruptcy Filing After Snubbing Debt Deals, Buckling Under $6.5 Billion Burden—Stock Plunges Over 60%

On Tuesday, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk found himself in a heated discussion with CNBC's David Faber regarding his involvement in federal spending cuts under President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration.
What Happened: The conversation, part of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Power Lunch,&#8221; initially centered on Tesla and autonomous vehicles but soon shifted to Musk&#8217;s role with the Department of Government Efficiency, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5310122-elon-musk-tensions-cnbc-interview/">reported</a> The Hill.
Faber questioned Musk about the tangible impact of DOGE&#8217;s cost-cutting efforts, highlighting the criticism Musk has faced.
Musk responded, &#8220;We are advisers. We are not—we're not kings here.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45510245/elon-musk-was-once-a-microsoft-intern-now-his-company-is-bringing-grok-to-azure-incredibly-important-for-ai-to-be-grounded-in-reality-xai-ceo-tells-satya-nadella">Elon Musk Was Once A Microsoft Intern — Now His Company Is Bringing Grok To Azure: &#8216;Incredibly Important For AI To Be Grounded In Reality,&#8217; xAI CEO Tells Satya Nadella</a>
The tech mogul then interrupted Faber, saying, &#8220;So why are you attacking this? Given that we've made so much progress?&#8221;
Faber then said that he was simply asking questions, not attacking. The exchange began when Faber mentioned Musk&#8217;s initial goal of cutting $1 trillion in federal spending, which Musk admitted was not immediately feasible, the report said.
Musk said that DOGE has managed to cut nearly $160 billion in spending, though Faber noted discrepancies in reported figures. Musk explained the methodology behind the numbers, while Faber suggested alternative budget strategies.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s involvement with DOGE has been a topic of debate since his appointment. Despite efforts to cut costs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44778750/musks-government-efficiency-push-falls-short-as-treasury-data-shows-spending-up-sharply-under-trumps-second-term-report">federal spending has reportedly increased</a> by $154 billion since President Trump&#8217;s return to office, according to Treasury data.
Earlier this month, Musk shared mixed sentiments about his first 100 days in office, noting some progress within the DOGE while also <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45163408/doge-not-as-effective-as-id-like-says-elon-musk-calls-reform-really-difficult-like-changing-direction-of-a-fleet-of-supertankers">recognizing its limitations</a>. &#8220;We haven't been as effective as I'd like.&#8221;
Last month, during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">Tesla's first quarter earnings</a> call, Musk announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45381782/elon-musk-vows-to-spend-less-time-in-white-house-doge-office-investors-warn-the-damage-is-done-and-teslas-troubles-are-far-from-over">plans to reduce his time at DOGE</a>. This decision comes amid investor concerns that his political role has distracted from Tesla&#8217;s core operations.
Price Action: Tesla shares edged up 0.51% on Tuesday, ending the session at $343.82. The stock saw a marginal after-hours gain of 0.015%, based on <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Tesla holds a growth score of 45.44%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare it with other leading stocks</a>.

The &#8220;Shark&#8221; dismissed Warren&#8217;s criticism of the bill as a &#8220;Trump product,&#8221; arguing that it is crucial for&nbsp;the future of U.S. financial&nbsp;dominance.
&#8220;This bill has nothing to do with Trump. This is about a digital payment system that establishes the U.S. dollar as the default currency around the world for price discovery on every commodity on earth,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary&nbsp;said.
He accused Warren of taking an &#8220;un-American&#8221; position and one that could lead to other fiat currencies challenging the dollar&#8217;s dominance.
&#8220;She's confusing politics with progress, and this time, it could cost America dearly,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary&nbsp;added. &#8220;That's not just wrong. It's dangerous.
Warren&#8217;s office didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Mr Wonderful Kevin O' Leary Says Elizabeth Warren Taking An 'Un American' Position By Challenging Crypto Law: 'Bill Has Nothing To Do With Trump'

The Securities and Exchange Commission leveled fraud charges against cryptocurrency firm Unicoin and its top three executives Tuesday for misleading investors and raising over $100 million in the process.
What Happened: The SEC stated in a press release that Unicoin and&nbsp;its CEO and Board Chairman&nbsp;Alex Konanykhin&nbsp;lured investors with false promises. The company had claimed that its tokens were backed by valuable real estate assets. However, the SEC alleges that these assets were significantly less valuable than Unicoin had stated.
Mark Cave, Associate Director in&nbsp;the SEC's Division of Enforcement, stated, &#8220;the majority of the company's&nbsp;sales of rights certificates were&nbsp;illusory.&#8221; In addition to this, Unicoin and Konanykhin are accused of violating&nbsp;federal securities laws by engaging&nbsp;in unregistered offers and sales&nbsp;of rights certificates.

Cathie Wood Just Spent $8.4 Million On This Top Chip Stock (And It's Not NVIDIA)

The Senate has passed a bill aimed at removing federal taxes on tips, marking a key victory for President Donald Trump and his administration&#8217;s agenda.
What Happened: The Senate approved a bill on Tuesday that aims to remove federal taxes on tips, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5310424-senate-no-tax-on-tips/">The Hill</a>. This legislative move, supported by Democrats, fulfills a key campaign promise of&nbsp;President Trump.
Sen.&nbsp;Jacky Rosen&nbsp;(D-Nev.) introduced the bill, expecting opposition. However, Sen.&nbsp;Ted Cruz&nbsp;(R-Texas) did not block it, allowing it to pass through unanimous consent. Rosen highlighted the significance of this bill for Nevada, emphasizing the financial relief it offers to hospitality and service workers facing rising costs.
Cruz praised Trump&#8217;s &#8220;political genius&#8221; in removing taxes on tips.

Trump initially proposed the idea&nbsp;during a campaign stop in&nbsp;Nevada, a state with a high number of tipped workers. Cruz acknowledged the efforts of Nevada senators Rosen and&nbsp;Catherine Cortez Masto&nbsp;(D-Nev.), noting that about 25% of Nevada&#8217;s workforce depends on tips.
The bill, known as the No Tax on Tips Act, will now proceed to the House, where it is anticipated to pass one way or another either as another legislation advanced on Monday. Cruz expressed confidence that the bill will soon become law, offering a new tax deduction of up to $25,000 for tips.
Why It Matters: On Monday, a broader legislative package, dubbed by Trump as &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45506863/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-advances-heres-who-wins-and-loses">One, Big Beautiful Bill</a>, advanced in the congress. That bill seeks to extend The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 and eliminate federal taxes on tips and overtime pay.
While the tax exemption on tips is seen as a boon for service workers, it could have significant fiscal implications. A report by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) suggests that the tax-free tips proposal might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/06/39350922/trumps-tax-free-tips-proposal-may-inflate-federal-deficit-by-up-to-250b-report">increase the federal deficit</a> by up to $250 billion over the next decade. 
This potential deficit increase is comparable to the projected revenue loss from the extension of the 2017 tax cuts for small businesses and pass-through companies, which are set to expire soon. The proposal is also viewed as a strategic move to garner support from younger voters, particularly in states like Nevada, where a significant portion of the workforce relies on tips.

Trump's No Tax On Tips Agenda Gets A Boost As Senate Approves Bill, Ted Cruz Praises President's 'Political Genius' For Backing The Idea

<li>Morgan Stangely has estimated that generative AI revenue could surpass $1.1 trillion by 2028</li>
<li>In an effort to capitalize on that growth, tech companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Alphabet have been rushing their products to market</li>
<li>Now, tech experts are warning that in doing so these companies have been sacrificing the safety and security of their products</li>
</ul>
Tech experts are concerned that safety is taking a backseat to profit potential in AI development, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/14/meta-google-openai-artificial-intelligence-safety.html">CNBC</a> reports.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In the early days of AI, research was a priority for companies like Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), and OpenAI, but the release of ChatGPT in late 2022 changed that, according to the outlet. As the groundbreaking chatbot proved hugely popular and financially lucrative, other major companies took note and began rushing their own AI platforms to market.

In March, <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/insights/articles/genai-revenue-growth-and-profitability">Morgan Stanley</a> estimated that generative AI revenue could surpass $1.1 trillion by 2028, making it a huge market with lots of potential for growth. And in an effort to stay competitive, many companies are now cutting corners when it comes to the rigorous safety testing of their AI models before they are released to the public, industry experts told CNBC.
James White, chief technology officer at CalypsoAI, told CNBC that new AI models are sacrificing security for response quality, meaning they're less likely to reject malicious kinds of prompts. "The models are getting better, but they're also more likely to be good at bad stuff," said White. "It's easier to trick them to do bad stuff."
White, whose company runs safety and security audits of popular models from Meta, Google, OpenAI among others, says that this shift is readily apparent at companies like Meta and Alphabet.

According to insiders who spoke to CNBC, Meta has deprioritized its AI research unit, the Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Research unit, in favor of Meta GenAI. Similarly, Alphabet has lumped its research group, Google Brain, in with its DeepMind division, which leads the development of new AI products.&nbsp;
Other experts readily agree with White, telling CNBC that as employees face increasingly shortened development timelines, they are left with the idea that they can't afford to fall behind when it comes to getting new models and products to market. Under this sort of pressure, they spend less time on security and more time on proficiency.
Google's Gemini 2.5 model, which was released in March, is a perfect example of this. According to CNBC, for weeks after its release, Gemini 2.5 was missing its model card, a common tool for AI transparency that shares information about how the model works, its limitations, and any potential dangers.

In a memo obtained by CNBC a month before Gemini 2.5's release, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told DeepMind and Gemini staffers that "the final race to AGI is afoot." "We have all the ingredients to win this race but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts," he said, noting that Google needed to speed up the process of AI testing and cut out the habit of "minor tweaking and overfitting" products.
"We can't keep building nanny products," Brin wrote. "Our products are overrun with filters and punts of various kinds."&nbsp;

Perplexity, known for its real-time search engine that combines generative AI with citation-based results, will gain access to Le Monde's content. In return, the French publisher will leverage Perplexity's AI infrastructure to build new tools and explore fresh distribution channels, Reuters says.

</ul>
This agreement comes as AI companies face mounting scrutiny over how they train their models, and as publishers push for compensation and transparency,<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/tech-companies-face-tough-ai-copyright-questions-2025-2024-12-27/"> Reuters</a> reports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia-Backed Perplexity Expands Media Footprint With Le Monde, L.A. Times, And The Independent</h2>
The partnership is part of Perplexity's broader effort to integrate reliable journalism into its search platform. The startup has already signed deals with over a dozen publishers, including the Los Angeles Times and the U.K.'s Independent, Reuters says. These collaborations aim to ensure that the AI-generated answers on Perplexity's platform are rooted in high-quality, verifiable content.
According to Reuters, these partnerships also include an ad revenue-sharing model designed to benefit the content providers whose work powers Perplexity's responses. The AI search engine&#8217;s new Publishers' Program is setting a precedent for how AI companies can support quality journalism while scaling innovation, a Perplexity<a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-the-perplexity-publishers-program"> blog post</a> says.

Announced with a slate of high-profile media partners including Time, Der Spiegel, Fortune and Entrepreneur, the initiative offers revenue sharing for publishers whose content is cited in Perplexity's AI-generated answers. The model includes advertising through a "related questions" feature, giving brands the ability to insert follow-up queries and creating new monetization streams for participating outlets, the company said.
According to Perplexity, the program also provides partners with free access to its online large language model application programming interfaces, allowing them to build custom answer engines using only their own content.

While partnerships like the one with Le Monde represent a collaborative path forward, not all media organizations are on board. Several AI companies are currently facing legal action from news outlets who accuse them of using copyrighted content without permission during model training, Reuters reports. The lawsuits reflect the growing tension between innovation and ownership, especially as generative AI tools continue to blur the lines between original content and synthesized responses.
According to Reuters, Le Monde CEO Louis Dreyfus emphasized that the agreement with Perplexity was not just about content licensing. &#8220;At Le Monde, we have continued to explore new partnerships with leading AI players to enlarge our audience, expand our development capacities, and to build new sources of revenues,&#8221; he said.
As AI reshapes how information is discovered and consumed, deals like this one between Le Monde and Perplexity may set the tone for the future. With strong backing, rising adoption, and a growing list of media collaborators, Perplexity aims to build the future of how the world reads, learns, and connects with verified truth.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In MercadoLibre 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Legendary value investor Jeremy Grantham is sounding the alarm on the current state of U.S. financial markets and says a 50% drop in the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45508514/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-warns-huge-deficits-complacent-central-banks-could-lead-to-stagflation">market is possible.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NggoHOE8uQM">interview </a>with Wealthtrack, Grantham pointed to three factors that are creating distortion in the stock market: the lingering effects of the massive COVID-19 stimulus, the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and ongoing tariff wars.&nbsp;

Grantham said the COVID-19 response injected trillions into the economy and fuelled speculative excesses among retail investors.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the AI boom has propelled a handful of giant tech companies — the so-called Magnificent Seven —  to outsized gains and skewed market dynamics. 
The trade war adds another layer of unpredictability, leaving economists and investors alike struggling to forecast economic outcomes.&nbsp;
Grantham said traditional metrics used to measure the market, like total market capitalization versus the GDP, are pointing to a significantly overvalued market that could be vulnerable to a major decline. 
"The market could easily go down by 50% and be well within its historical boundary. That would not be a colossal low," Grantham said.&nbsp;
Expert Ideas: Given the risks of a correction, Grantham advised investors to shift focus toward value stocks and non-U.S. equities. He also suggested prioritizing high-quality companies with low debt and strong profit margin and highlighted climate and resource-related sectors as undervalued.&nbsp;
Grantham's bottom line: investors should prepare for volatility in the currently overvalued market and the exact timing of a market correction remains impossible to predict.&nbsp;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Quanta Services Stock In The Last 10 Years

Social media network Bluesky<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44598279/hillary-clinton-barack-obama-join-bluesky-posts-take-aim-at-elon-musks-efforts-in-wisconsin-here-are-the-top-10-most-followed-accounts"> is much smaller </a>than the likes of X and Facebook, but could have another ace up its sleeve in relying on the love of sports and ability to let people leave the platform to check out live content.
What Happened: Two of entrepreneur Mark Cuban's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42566461/mark-cuban-says-this-is-the-holy-grail-that-makes-bluesky-better-than-musks-x-platform">favorite items</a> are crossing paths with Bluesky working on highlighting the National Basketball Association's postseason games.
While Cuban's Dallas Mavericks, of which he is a part owner, aren't in the NBA Playoffs, the push by Bluesky could be one of many to help push sports fans to the platform.
According to a report from <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/19/bluesky-takes-on-sports-twitter-with-nba-playoff-feature/">TechCrunch</a>, Bluesky is testing new features during the NBA Playoffs that include placing a red border with a "live" callout on posts from the NBA's Bluesky account when there are games in progress.
Bluesky users who click on the NBA's profile picture will be redirected to the live content.
"We aren't trapping you in Bluesky," Bluesky COO Rose Wang said. "We want you to use Bluesky to discover what's happening."
Wang said Bluesky will also test this feature during WNBA games.
You may not be a billionaire like Mark Cuban, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45482435/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-65">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: The decision to redirect users to content outside of Bluesky differs from the current strategy of Elon Musk-owned social media platform X.
X, formerly known as Twitter, previously had live streaming partnerships with sports leagues where it would show contests live on the platform.
Nowadays, X highlights the scores and posts about games and hopes to keep fans on X rather than having them leave to watch the actual sports matchup.
As highlighted by TechCrunch, Bluesky doesn't rely on advertising to make money, meaning it doesn't care how much time people spend on the platform. The goal is of course to get people to continue using Bluesky and coming back.
The ability for users to quickly leave and watch sports contests and come back to talk about them with other users on Bluesky is an interesting bet to see play out and could be one of the items that could drive users from X to Bluesky.
