Faraday Previews New FX EV Series, Eyes Broader Market With June Reveal And 2025 Production Start

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) could drop to $1,500 before the repeatedly delayed Pectra upgrade launches in late April, according to MEXC Chief Operating Officer Tracy Jin, though long-term projections remain optimistic with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43763591/ethereum-slashes-fees-by-70-ahead-of-pectra-fusakas-april-rollout">potential $8,000 highs by year-end</a>.
What Happened: The second-largest cryptocurrency has struggled in 2025, dropping 38% since January while investors redirect capital away from ETH exchange-traded funds. Network activity has reached historic lows despite past improvements in transaction speed and cost.
&#8220;A second decline to $1,500 by the end of the month is very likely,&#8221; Jin said, noting that despite transaction improvements, &#8220;the community has switched to using other blockchains.&#8221;
However, Jin highlighted positive indicators suggesting accumulation. ETH holdings on centralized exchanges have fallen to their lowest levels since November 2015, indicating investors may be purchasing coins at current price points ahead of anticipated improvements.

Why It Matters: The Pectra upgrade, postponed twice already, aims to increase network scalability and decrease fees, potentially revitalizing network activity. If implemented without another delay, Jin believes it could catalyze Ethereum&#8217;s return to the $3,000 mark.
In the immediate term, ETH is expected to trade between $1,900-$2,100 through early April. The cryptocurrency traded at $1,857 Tuesday evening, up 0.43% in 24 hours, according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/">data</a> from CoinMarketCap. 
The broader cryptocurrency market shows cautious optimism despite Ethereum&#8217;s challenges. Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dominance has reached 61.8%, its highest since February 2021, while Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44599257/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-edge-higher-as-market-braces-for-trumps-liberation-day-why-arthur-hayes-still-sees-btc-hitting-250000-by-year-end">struggles to maintain momentum above key price levels</a>.
Without unexpected market disruptions, Jin maintains that forecasts for Ethereum reaching historical highs of $6,000-$8,000 by year-end remain viable. She emphasized that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin&#8216;s team must develop innovative solutions to replace previous catalysts like ICOs, DeFi, NFTs, and metaverse projects to achieve these ambitious targets.

Ethereum Could Drop To $1,500 Before Pectra Upgrade, But $8,000 Remains In Sight

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban is arguing against the notion that artificial intelligence will be a primary driver of deflation and believes that it will be a massive driver of innovation and productivity.
What Happened: Anthony Pompliano, the founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, in an X post claimed that AI will be the &#8220;strongest deflationary forces we will see in our lifetime.&#8221;
However, the American businessman and Shark Tank fame Cuban argued against this idea and said, &#8220;Disagree. Generative AI will be the greatest growth and productivity engine ever. We will see amazing new s&#x2A;&#x2A;t that replaces the old s&#x2A;&#x2A;t.&#8221;
He contends that entrepreneurs and investors will prioritize developing these new, high-potential AI-driven products over simply making existing products cheaper.
Cuban also defines deflation as a decrease in the price of existing goods and explains that AI will create new goods and services, for which people will pay a premium, rather than simply making existing goods cheaper. Therefore, he doesn&#8217;t believe AI will cause deflation.
&#8220;Deflation happens when we get more of what we already got at a cheaper price. When everything is new, entrepreneurs will charge what the market will bear,&#8221; said Cuban.

He also predicts that intellectual property will become increasingly valuable, as companies seek to protect their unique AI models and data. According to him, companies will start to paywall their IP, especially in fields like medicine, which will create many different models, instead of one model to rule them all.

Why It Matters: Apart from this, replying to other comments about AI taking up human jobs. Cuban claimed that he sees &#8220;more jobs&#8221; in the future. He explains that humans have a unique ability to capture and process real-time information from the world around them, which AI is not yet capable of.
Cuban also says new jobs will be particularly created in areas related to operating and managing AI-driven companies and conveying real-world information to AI models.

Mark Cuban Dismisses Concerns of AI Causing Deflation, Calls It The "Greatest Growth And Productivity Engine Ever"

On Tuesday, Val Kilmer, the legendary actor known for his role as Iceman in the Tom Cruise-starrer blockbuster film "Top Gun," passed away at the age of 65.
What Happened: Kilmer, whose career spanned over four decades, died after a battle with pneumonia, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/val-kilmer-actor-dead-pneumonia-7e8f27b1ec80f2940f7a7776f5f92804">reported</a> Associated Press, citing his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer.&nbsp;
Kilmer's health had been in decline since he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, which led to a tracheotomy that altered his voice.
Despite his health struggles, Kilmer made a powerful return to the screen in 2022 with "Top Gun: Maverick," reprising his iconic role as Iceman.

Kilmer's film career included a wide variety of roles, from the brooding Batman in "Batman Forever" to the legendary Doc Holliday in "Tombstone."
People around the world, including Indian filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Rotten Tomatoes, Top Gun's official X handle, and many others, are flocking to social media and paying tribute to him.

Val Kilmer, Legendary Actor Who Played 'Iceman' In Tom Cruise-Starrer 'Top Gun' Dies At 65

In the past 12 months, Intel Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are down by 49.82. However, now the company has made a crucial step forward and announced that its 18A process node has entered risk production.
What Happened: At Intel's Vision 2025 conference, the company revealed that it had entered the "risk production" phase for its 18A process node, <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/intel-announces-18a-process-node-has-entered-risk-production-crucial-milestone-comes-as-company-ramps-to-panther-lake-chips">reported</a> Tom's Hardware.
This process node is a critical part of Intel's strategy to regain its leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, a position it has been vying for in recent years, especially against rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Kevin O'Buckley, senior vice president of Intel Foundry Services, explained the significance of risk production, saying, &#8220;Risk production, while it sounds scary, is actually an industry standard terminology. The importance of risk production is we&#8217;ve gotten the technology to a point where we&#8217;re freezing it.&#8221;

Intel has not confirmed whether the 18A risk production is specifically for its upcoming Panther Lake processors or if it is intended for external foundry clients.
However, since Panther Lake will be the first processor lineup built on the 18A process and is set to enter mass production later this year, it is likely the primary focus of this risk production phase, the report noted.

Why It Matters: Previously, Intel&#8217;s new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, spoke about the need for a cultural <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44577045/intels-new-ceo-lip-bu-tan-says-trump-administration-ready-to-help-beleagured-chipmaker-warns-bureaucracy-kills-innovation">overhaul within the company</a>, underscoring the reduction of bureaucracy to foster innovation.
Intel is also reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44469986/intel-targets-major-foundry-clients-in-new-strategy-to-revitalize-chip-design-says-ubs">targeting major foundry clients</a> as part of its strategy to rejuvenate its chip design. The company is reportedly on the verge of securing commitments from industry giants like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) to utilize its foundry services.
Price Action: Intel&#8217;s stock has risen 9.05% year-to-date, based on <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
As per Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Intel (INTC) has a 3.54% growth rating. Curious how it stacks up against other companies? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for the full analysis</a>.

Intel's Stock Plummeted 50% In Past 12 Months, Now The Lip-Bu Tan-Led Company Is Betting On 18A Chip Breakthrough: 'We're Freezing It'

Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of the world&#8217;s second-largest stablecoin, USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), filed a prospectus for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
What Happened: The company plans to list its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange&nbsp;under the ticker symbol "CRCL," according to an S-1 registration statement, a prerequisite for firms to go public.
The initial offering price range and the number of shares to be offered were not disclosed in the filing.
&#8220;Operating as a U.S.-listed public company represents our continued dedication to transparency and accountability, as we will become subject to the reporting, corporate governance, and other requirements that are applicable to a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange,&#8221; Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said.

Polymarket Bettors Think It&#8217;s Unlikely</a>
Why It Matters: This latest IPO filing marks Circle&#8217;s second major attempt to go public. The 2021 SPAC deal was abandoned due to regulatory delays and market turbulence caused by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/10/35445270/the-true-cost-of-the-ftx-collapse-how-much-did-sam-bankman-fried-really-make" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">collapse of crypto exchange</a>&nbsp;FTX.
Following a brief de-pegging during the Silicon Valley Bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/03/31323955/the-big-picture-why-silicon-valley-bank-collapsed-a-simple-explainer">crisis</a>, when $3.3 billion in reserves were temporarily locked, USDC has since recovered, now boasting a $60 billion market capitalization, making it the second-largest dollar-pegged cryptocurrency after Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>).
The IPO filing follows President Donald Trump&#8217;s push to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44420122/donald-trump-calls-for-stablecoin-legislation-lauds-bitcoin-reserve-biden-got-a-fraction-of-their-value">pass stablecoin legislation</a> to enhance the U.S. financial system and maintain the dollar&#8217;s global dominance.
If approved, Circle will join other cryptocurrency-related stocks, such as Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), on Wall Street.

Reported Earlier, Australia Building Approvals (MoM) For February -0.3% Vs. -1.4% Est.; 6.9% (Revised) Prior

Just two days after making its trading debut, conservative media outlet Newsmax (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMAX#NYSE">NMAX</a>) is already up by a phenomenal 2,200%, making it the latest contender within the MAGAverse to receive such an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44593007/newsmax-stock-soars-more-than-100-as-ipo-momentum-continues-whats-going-on">empathic welcome from Wall Street</a>.
What Happened: Right-wing cable news channel, Newsmax started trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, listing at a 40% premium to its offer price of $10 a share. It then continued its ascent, surging 700% by afternoon, ending Day 1 with an intraday high of $82.25 a share.
On Tuesday, the stock picked up where it left off, rallying another 183% before closing at $233 a share. This briefly valued the company at over $28 billion and made its founder and CEO, Christopher Ruddy, a billionaire. Newsmax now features a market cap that is larger than The New York Times, a 175-year-old media institution.

While early investors in the company&#8217;s $75 million mini-IPO have done remarkably well, experts and analysts warn that this is just another &#8220;Meme&#8221; stock. 
Steve Sosnick, the chief strategist at Interactive Brokers <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-01/newsmax-becomes-a-meme-stock-with-1-160-post-ipo-surge">told</a> Bloomberg, &#8216;This makes the early run-up in DJT seem like child&#8217;s play,&#8217; referring to the infamous Trump Media &amp; Technology Group listing last year, before adding that &#8220;This is the newest entry into the pantheon of meme stocks.&#8221;
He further goes on to attribute this rally to a combination of &#8216;a tiny float and a fiercely loyal user base&#8217; that got the stock moving shortly after it opened.&#8221; 
If there&#8217;s anything we know about such speculative rallies, it is that they don&#8217;t last very long. JJ Kinahan, the CEO of IG North America <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/newsmax-stock-ipo-djt-news-65a34499">told</a> Barron &#8216;there is a subsection of clients that are willing to put some of their speculative portfolio to ‘catch the wave,&#8217; but they risk sudden dips and volatility as the wave fizzles out.
Why It Matters: There are plenty of parallels between this Newsmax listing and those of other recent additions to the conservative media complex. 
This includes the Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, the parent company behind Truth Social that similarly surged 1,650% soon after listing, followed by Rumble Inc, jumping 40% on listing day, which pales in comparison but is noteworthy nonetheless.
Both of these stocks witnessed a pullback that was just as dramatic as their rise, with DJT now trading 88% below its all-time of $175, and Rumble down 54% from its peak. Newsmax is set for a similar fate, as FOMO and fanfare always fizzle out, the only thing that remains is fundamentals.

Newsmax And The Curious Case of MAGA Media: Is The 2200% Rally In 2 Days An Anomaly Or A Trend?

Susan Crawford secured victory in Wisconsin&#8217;s Supreme Court race Tuesday, NBC News projects, preserving liberals&#8217; 4-3 majority on the battleground state&#8217;s highest court despite Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42030086/suzuki-and-tata-elxsi-launch-offshore-development-centre-in-pune-to-propel-future-mobility">multi-million dollar opposition campaign</a>.
What Happened: Crawford, a Dane County circuit judge backed by Democrats, defeated former Republican attorney general Brad Schimel in the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history. The election marks the first major battleground contest of President Donald Trump&#8216;s second term.
&#8220;As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I&#8217;d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin,&#8221; Crawford <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/wisconsin-supreme-court-election-results-rcna198353">told</a> supporters Tuesday. &#8220;And we won.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The outcome represents a significant setback for Musk, who spent over $15 million supporting Schimel and controversially distributed $1 million checks to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42030086/suzuki-and-tata-elxsi-launch-offshore-development-centre-in-pune-to-propel-future-mobility">Wisconsin voters at campaign events</a>. 
Meanwhile, Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment enshrining voter ID requirements, while incumbent superintendent Jill Underly defeated conservative challenger Brittany Kinser.
The anti-Musk strategy deployed by Democrats may serve as a template for future contests, according to the report, as the billionaire continues his political involvement through Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and campaign contributions <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44556558/elon-musks-cheesehead-moment-in-wisconsin-is-making-waves-online-and-the-internet-cant-get-enough-of-it">ahead of the 2026 midterms</a>.

Susan Crawford Defeats Elon Musk-Backed Rival In Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Despite Billionaire's $1 Million Voter Giveaway Gamble

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) CEO Alex Karp emphasized artificial intelligence&#8217;s transformative potential for enterprise operations, suggesting the technology could make workers dramatically more efficient when properly deployed.
What Happened: &#8220;Can AI make one human five humans?&#8221; Karp asked during his AIG Investor Day address, focusing on AI&#8217;s capability to enhance technical roles. &#8220;Can the large language model combined with what we call ontology make one human 10X more valuable, meaning they have 5X output at half the time?&#8221;
Karp underscored the complexity of this challenge, noting AI must be strategically implemented across decision trees rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all solution.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp Sees AI Improving Efficiency 10-fold, Reshaping Enterprise Operations

Economist Nouriel Roubini, one of Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fiercest critics, attempted an April Fools&#8217; Day joke pretending to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but artificial intelligence bot Grok saw through the ruse.&nbsp;
What happened: In an X post on Tuesday, Roubini shared an article titled, "Nouriel Roubini Comes Out as Satoshi Nakamoto, Signs with Private Key."
The report claimed Roubini presented "indisputable evidence" to prove that he was the anonymous creator of the world's first blockchain.

The economist known for his bearish predictions before the 2008 financial crisis wanted to "save the world" and created a digital currency with the help of a team of coders, the report mentioned..
"I came up with the idea, I came up with everything, and I mined the early blocks," he was quoted as saying. Roubini even claimed that he mined an early block believed to have been mined by Satoshi with his private key.

To check the veracity of the claims, an X user, Ankit Madhwani, asked AI chatbot Grok for assistance, which led to the discovery of the prank.
"No, it&#8217;s likely an April Fools&#8217; prank. No evidence supports Nouriel Roubini as Satoshi Nakamoto—his Bitcoin criticism contradicts it. The April 1, 2021 article seems satirical, with no blockchain proof of a private key signature. This recurs as a crypto joke, especially on April Fools' Day," Grok replied.

The article&#8217;s claims were already suspicious when Roubini purportedly disclosed his private keys, which is a strict no-no for cryptocurrency holders.
Why It Matters: Roubini has been a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/11/roubini-bitcoin-is-mother-of-all-scams.html">staunch Bitcoin critic</a>, deeming it the "mother of all scams" and blockchain the most hyped technology ever.

'Dr. Doom' Nouriel Roubini Says He Is Satoshi Nakamoto, But Elon Musk's Grok Isn't Having It

The White House is set to hold a meeting on Wednesday with key officials to discuss the future of TikTok, as the app faces an April 5 deadline to secure a non-Chinese buyer or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39150865/tiktok-parent-bytedance-appoints-former-warner-bros-lawyer-as-general-counsel-amid-ongoing-legal-bat">face a potential U.S. ban</a>.
What Happened: President Donald Trump is scheduled to consider a final proposal related to TikTok during a meeting at the Oval Office.
Vice President JD Vance, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are expected to participate, reported Reuters, citing a White House official.

Trump's administration has made it clear that the deadline for the sale is final.
Why It Matters: Private equity firm Blackstone Inc. (NSYE: BX), along with other American investors such as Susquehanna International Group and General Atlantic, is reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44563161/trump-says-tiktok-has-a-lot-of-potential-buyers-deal-to-come-before-saturday-deadline">discussing a bid</a>.
U.S. venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, led by co-founder Marc Andreessen, is also in talks to invest in TikTok's U.S. business.

Other possible buyers include a consortium led by Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), TikTok's U.S. data partner, as well as Project Liberty, a group spearheaded by Frank McCourt that features Kevin O&#8217;Leary and Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
In February, TikTok returned to the Apple and Google app stores after <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43724471/tiktok-returns-to-apple-and-google-app-stores-after-a-month-long-hiatus">a month-long hiatus</a>. The app was temporarily removed in January due to a new national security law.
Trump has previously said that he might offer <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44506732/donald-trump-says-he-may-cut-tariffs-on-china-to-seal-tiktok-deal-bytedance-has-until-april-5-to-sell-or-face-us-ban">tariff relief to China</a> to facilitate the sale as the deadline approaches for ByteDance to divest TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations.

TikTok Clock Ticks Louder As Deadline Approaches, Trump To Consider Final Proposal As Private Equity Firms Bid For Platform

The National Labor Relations Board has frozen two cases against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) days after President Donald Trump nominated Crystal Carey, an attorney representing the tech giant, as the agency&#8217;s general counsel.
What Happened: The NLRB filed multiple complaints against the iPhone maker last year, alleging interference with employee organizing efforts, but abruptly pulled back from two cases late last week, according to <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ad7fcc22-343e-47e3-a6f3-58bfd4294c9d">documents</a> reviewed by the Financial Times.
Carey, a Morgan Lewis &amp; Bockius partner, is listed in agency records as an attorney defending Apple in both cases. Morgan Lewis specializes in representing management in labor disputes and has also represented Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX and Amazon in challenges against the agency.
The postponed cases involve Janneke Parrish and Cher Scarlett, two leading figures of the 2021 &#8216;AppleToo&#8217; movement, an employee backlash against Apple&#8217;s handling of wage discrimination and harassment claims. Both women filed complaints with the NLRB after leaving the company, claiming they were dismissed because of their labor organizing efforts.
NLRB did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: This development comes as Apple faces challenges in China, where smartphone sales showed promising signs in February with foreign-branded phone <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44588577/apple-stock-a-buy-on-revenue-durability-visibility-analyst-highlights-china-smartphone-sales-up-in-february">shipments up 9% year-over-year</a>, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng, who maintains a Buy rating on Apple with a $294 price target.
The halting of these labor cases coincides with broader market uncertainty as investors await Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff announcements. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives has warned that potential Chinese retaliation to new tariffs could disrupt tech supply chains, particularly affecting companies like Apple that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44598088/trumps-liberation-day-creates-major-uncertainty-for-big-tech-analyst-dan-ives-says">rely heavily on Asian manufacturing</a>.
Apple has denied wrongdoing in the labor cases, stating it has &#8220;always respected our employees&#8217; rights to discuss their wages, hours and working conditions,&#8221; according to the report. 
Apple stock is in a negative short- and medium-term price trend, but the iPhone maker maintains strong momentum despite a weak valuation, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Ranking. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up for in-depth insights</a>.

Apple Labor Cases Frozen By NLRB After Trump Nominates Company's Attorney As General Counsel: Report

A silly-sounding memecoin poking fun at President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk blasted off Tuesday, dwarfing gains in mainstream coins.
What happened: Elon Trump Fart (ETF500) surged 52% in the last 24 hours, reaching levels not seen in over five weeks.&nbsp;
The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based coin's trading volume surpassed $1 million after an 87% jump, while its market capitalization hit $8.75 million.

The memecoin is a derivative project of the over $500 million-valued Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), which was also one of the day&#8217;s top gainers.
According to CoinGecko, ETF500 was created in response to an X post referencing a potential Fartcoin ETF by Douglas A. Boneparth, president at Bona Fide Wealth.

Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading.

Fartcoin Offshoot Mocking Trump, Musk Shoots Up 52%—What In The World Is Going On?

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is reportedly gearing up to release an over $1,000 version of its smart glasses to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39449125/apple-glass-potential-competitor-to-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-may-take-longer-to-develop-report">further challenge</a> Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) AR ambitions.
What Happened: The new version of Meta's smart glasses will come with a built-in screen, hand-gesture controls, and a price tag ranging from $1,000 to $1,400, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-01/how-meta-s-upcoming-1000-smart-glasses-with-a-screen-will-work">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The device, code-named Hypernova, could feature a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42659936/meta-plans-display-equipped-ray-ban-glasses-by-2025-aiming-to-replace-smartphones">monocular display</a> in the lower-right quadrant of the right lens.
They are expected to offer an immersive AR experience that goes beyond the company's current Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, which start at $299. Last year, it was reported that&nbsp;Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41458752/metas-smart-glasses-dominate-ray-ban-stores-ai-features-still-missing">best-selling item in 60%</a> of Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that Apple might be considering a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">lightweight glasses design</a> following the lukewarm response to its first-generation mixed reality headset, Vision Pro.
Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) subsidiary Google is also reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to acquire AdHawk Microsystems Inc. as part of its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44267530/while-apple-reportedly-mulls-over-ar-glasses-google-bets-big-on-eye-tracking-tech-with-115-million-adhawk-acquisition-report">renewed focus on headsets</a> and smart glasses.

The steep price hike for Meta's new model Hypernova is primarily due to the screen, the report noted.
While giving his review of Vision Pro in February 2024, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that Apple's headset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37116135/mark-zuckerberg-finally-tries-apples-vision-pro-and-says-metas-quest-3-is-the-better-produc">offers a higher screen resolution</a> than Quest. However, he also expressed surprise at the compromises made in device quality, comfort, and ergonomics to achieve it.
Price Action: Meta stock closed 1.67% higher at $586 on Tuesday. However, year-to-date, the company&#8217;s shares have dropped 2.21%, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

What Happened: Bitcoin reclaimed and consolidated in the $85,000 zone, triggering a leg up for other large-cap coins like Ethereum and Dogecoin.
The second-largest cryptocurrency, however, failed to capitalize on the surge, dropping below $1,900 overnight.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's dominance rose further to 61.8%, its highest since February 2021.
Over $256 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with short positions accounting for the majority of the losses.
Bitcoin's Open Interest, or the dollars locked in its unsettled futures contracts, rose by 5.25% in the last 24 hours, suggesting an influx of new money into the market.

Analyst Notes: Popular blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant drew attention to the sharp decline in selling pressure by the cohort holding Bitcoin for over a month but less than three months.
"These holders, who form an essential part of short-term investors, appear to show reduced activity in the market after taking profits from their short-term trades of 1-3 months," CryptoQuant said.&nbsp;

Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s Gene Munster is bracing for disappointing Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) delivery numbers when the electric vehicle maker reports first-quarter figures on Wednesday, warning investors that the coming months could be even more challenging.
What Happened: &#8220;The March number is likely going to be ugly. The June will likely be worse. Then things begin to slowly improve,&#8221; Munster wrote Tuesday on X, signaling a dramatic reversal for a company that once projected 20-30% growth.
The Tesla bull anticipates first-quarter deliveries around 355,000 units, down approximately 8% year-over-year, significantly below analyst consensus estimates of 377,592. His projection aligns with prediction markets, where Kalshi traders give only a 56% probability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/04/44593138/tesla-q1-deliveries-preview-analysts-forecast-377k-but-kalshi-traders-predict-a-miss">Tesla exceeding 350,000 deliveries</a>.

&#8220;I feel 35% less wealthy over the past few months since the Tesla numbers started to come down,&#8221; Munster told CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell,&#8221; characterizing 2025 as a &#8220;throwaway year&#8221; for the automaker.

Why It Matters: Despite the near-term pessimism, Munster maintains his long-term optimism, citing Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;physical AI&#8221; competitive advantage through initiatives like Optimus robots and robotaxis. &#8220;Ultimately, I think investors are going to get behind that,&#8221; he said, noting Tesla&#8217;s $37 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year">cash position provides ample runway</a>.
The anticipated delivery decline comes amid concerns about CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s increasing political involvement affecting brand perception. A recent Benzinga poll revealed 53% of respondents would &#8220;never own a Tesla,&#8221; highlighting potential demand challenges as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/04/44593138/tesla-q1-deliveries-preview-analysts-forecast-377k-but-kalshi-traders-predict-a-miss">company looks toward recovery later this year</a>.
Price Action: Tesla Inc. closed at $268.46 on Tuesday, up 3.59% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.14% to $268.08. Year to date, Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined by 29.22%.
