Vinod Khosla, the Sun Microsystems co-founder and early OpenAI backer, says Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) is chasing the wrong race, urging Google to invest its money into Waymo.
What Happened: In a Sunday post on X, the venture capitalist urged Google's parent to pour "tens of billions" into Waymo before rivals close the gap, arguing robotaxis could eclipse the revenue engine that built Google's search empire.
Khosla's post came after entrepreneur Simon Kalouche shared YipitData estimates showing Waymo's gross bookings in San Francisco topped Lyft's in May and are on pace to pass Uber's within 12 months. The data highlights a steep adoption curve — bookings for Waymo One have nearly quadrupled since late 2023.

Waymo's growth isn't just a Bay Area quirk. The Alphabet unit now delivers roughly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45539621/tesla-robotaxi-rival-waymo-reaches-10-million-paid-rides-milestone-as-robotaxis-step-into-the-spotlight">250,000 paid rides</a> each week across Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco and recently celebrated 10 million lifetime trips, doubling that milestone in five months.

Why It Matters: Alphabet's core search business still throws off colossal cash — Google Search generated about $50.7 billion in revenue last quarter alone, according to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">company's filings</a>. Yet the company is spending heavily to defend that cash cow against AI-powered challengers.
The company&#8217;s CEO, Sundar Pichai, recently admitted in an interview that overall Google Search activity is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45687166/apple-may-see-fewer-searches-in-safari-but-google-ceo-sundar-pichai-insists-ai-is-fueling-overall-query-growth-far-from-a-zero-sum-game">still growing</a>, despite claims from Apple&#8217;s Eddy Cue that Safari had experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45259675/apple-alphabet-shares-tumble-amid-potential-ai-search-shift">decline in search volumes</a>.
At its developer conference, Google rolled out a new &#8220;AI mode&#8221; in its Search and Chrome browser for all U.S. users. The feature provides a conversational, Q&amp;A-style experience, resembling ChatGPT and replacing the conventional list of search result links.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alphabet has received a growth score of 88.54%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to see how it stacks up against the likes of Apple</a>.

Vinod Khosla Tells Google Forget About Search, Sun Microsystems Co-Founder Urges Tech Giant To Invest 'Tens Of Billions' In Self-Driving Before Others Catch Up

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya predicts Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Robotaxi and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo will dominate the autonomous vehicle market, potentially sidelining ride-hailing giants Uber Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NASDAQ">UBER</a>) and Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>).
What Happened: In a Sunday post on X, Palihapitiya argued that consumer preference for driverless rides stems from privacy concerns rather than just cost considerations. &#8220;This is less about Uber or Lyft and more about a desire to ride alone without a person you don&#8217;t know who can overhear conversations or interrupt quiet contemplation,&#8221; he wrote.
The Social Capital founder emphasized that autonomous technology represents &#8220;the experience of the future,&#8221; questioning whether existing ride-hailing apps can provide sufficient value once driverless options become widespread. He sees Tesla positioned for &#8220;an obvious win&#8221; as the company scales its autonomous capabilities.
Palihapitiya&#8217;s comments followed data showing Waymo&#8217;s market penetration in San Francisco. According to YipitData, Waymo&#8217;s market share surged from nearly 0% in August 2023 to approximately 27% by April, overtaking Lyft&#8217;s 22% share while Uber maintained its lead at 53%.
He predicted neither company would have &#8220;deep incentive to work with other apps&#8221; once they understand consumer preferences for driverless over traditional ride-hailing.

Why It Matters: Tesla plans to launch its robotaxi service in Austin on June 12, starting with 10-20 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving technology and remote supervision. However, The Future Fund&#8216;s Gary Black dismissed the launch as posing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45687704/gary-black-says-teslas-robotaxi-launch-in-june-poses-minimal-risk-to-uber-will-offer-low-cost">minimal risk to Uber&#8217;s business model</a>.

Chamath Palihapitiya Calls Tesla An 'Obvious Win,' Says Robotaxi, Alphabet's Waymo Will Overtake Uber And Lyft

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban offers his take on why inflation hasn&#8217;t spiked to the extent that it was expected by leading economists, in response to the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Cuban said that businesses, both large and small, are scrambling to get ahead of potential tariff hikes by using their cash reserves or taking on debt to stockpile inventory.
&#8220;They borrow money or use their available cash to front-run the tariffs and buy as much inventory as they can,&#8221; he says, adding that &#8220;in many cases, they get a better price because the [manufacturer] knows the risks post tariffs.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45712701/jim-cramer-predicts-were-headed-to-prices-were-not-used-to-says-you-should-invest-at-least-50-a-month-to-tackle-financial-uncertainty">Jim Cramer Predicts We&#8217;re Headed To &#8216;Prices We&#8217;re Not Used To&#8217; – Says You Should Invest At Least $50 a Month to Tackle Financial Uncertainty</a>
However, Cuban warns that none of this &#8220;is a positive,&#8221; arguing that such an inventory strategy comes at a cost, with businesses either having to sacrifice interest income on their cash holdings or incur high borrowing costs of between &#8220;10% to 20%&#8221; to make this work.
He further highlights the risk of not having cash or constantly piling on liabilities to finance this kind of trade, hinting at significant financial strain for businesses.
The on-and-off nature of the tariffs in recent weeks makes it harder for companies to plan pricing strategies. As a result, Cuban says that many are opting not to raise prices at all. &#8220;In fact, they may even discount some as a way to clear out inventory and replenish cash or pay down expensive loans,&#8221; he says.
Cuban argues that this isn&#8217;t just an issue for small businesses, saying that &#8220;all companies&#8221; will be facing this, including giants such as Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). &#8220;This is why Walmart says they will be raising prices in the future,&#8221; he says.
&#8220;The variance in tariffs has made it impossible to know how to manage costs,&#8221; Cuban concludes, &#8220;this is why prices haven't gone up to this point.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Leading Wall Street economists, such as Stephen Juneau of Bank of America, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45353863/new-inflation-data-hits-tuesday-why-it-could-kill-fed-rate-cut-hopes">hold similar views</a> when it comes to inflation, saying that &#8220;larger increases are in the pipeline&#8221; owing to the front-loading of demand.
Economist David Mericle of Goldman Sachs believes that the core personal consumption expenditures inflation, or PCE inflation, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45616116/trumps-tariffs-may-trigger-an-inflation-shock-but-not-a-lasting-one-goldman-sachs-says">will rise to 3.6%</a> by the end of 2025, from 2.8% in April. 
On Sunday, Walmart employees began sharing images of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/06/45712543/us-tariff-impact-prices-surge-at-walmart-and-target-employees-say-some-jumps-top-38">price increases on Reddit</a>, with certain items surging as high as 45%. Target is known to have reported similar price hikes as a result of the tariffs. 
Renowned hedge fund manager, Bill Ackman, is however, of the view that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45213125/bill-ackman-says-inflation-has-largely-been-wrung-out-pushes-for-temporary-pause-on-china-tariffs-to-shield-us-businesses">inflation has been</a> &#8220;wrung out of the economy,&#8221; suggesting that the Federal Reserve could implement a few rate cuts towards the latter half of this year, in light of the same.

Mark Cuban Says These Are The Reasons Prices Haven't Risen Despite Trump's Liberation Day Tariffs And None Of Them Are Positive

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence startup backed by Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)&nbsp; and 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>) Google, has reportedly reached a $3 billion annualized revenue run rate, just months after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue">hitting $1 billion</a> in December 2024.
What Happened: The San Francisco-based company has seen an unprecedented growth surge, primarily driven by enterprise demand for its AI models, especially in code generation, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The figure surpassed $2 billion near the end of March and reached $3 billion by the end of May, according to one of the sources.

Anthropic's Claude chatbot has gained traction in the business world, even as it lags behind OpenAI's ChatGPT in consumer adoption. Web analytics data from Similarweb in April showed Claude's traffic at just 2% of ChatGPT's, the report added.
Why It's Important: OpenAI, a rival to Anthropic, is projecting more than $12 billion in total revenue by the end of 2025, up from $3.7 billion last year, the report noted, citing three people familiar with the matter.

&#8220;This total revenue is different from an estimated annualized figure like Anthropic&#8217;s,&#8221; the report said.
The Sam Altman-led OpenAI hasn't disclosed enterprise-specific revenue, but in May, it reported that the number of paying seats for its ChatGPT Enterprise product had increased to 3 million, up from 2 million in February, the report said.
Anthropic is currently valued at $61.5 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44099466/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-nosedive-as-trumps-tariff-moves-wipe-out-crypto-reserve-fueled-gains-analyst-says-breaking-through-this-barrier-will-help-btc-touch-new-highs">following a $3.5 billion funding</a> round.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe anticipated a "decisive week" for Bitcoin ahead.
"If it breaks back above $106,000, the big party is about to happen," Van De Poppe predicted. "With PMI &amp; unemployment data during this week, I assume we&#8217;ll have a lot of volatility."

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Hold Steady Amid US-China Trade War Tensions: Analyst Foresees 'Big Party' If BTC Reclaims $106,000

U.S. Stock futures fell on Sunday evening, starting the new month on a sobering note, amid fresh steel and aluminum tariff concerns over the weekend.
Starting with the S&amp;P 500 Futures trading at 5,896.25, down 0.33%, followed by Nasdaq Futures at 21,279.50, down 0.45%, and finally Dow Jones Futures down 0.30%, trading at 42,169.00, at the time of writing this.
This comes amid President Donald Trump&#8217;s announcement on Friday that he would be doubling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon">tariffs on imported steel</a> to 50%, from the current 25%. The tariffs are aimed at revitalizing the domestic steel industry and protecting jobs, marking the latest escalation in Trump&#8217;s trade wars.

The tariffs are set to take effect on Wednesday, June 4, and comes just days after Trump approved United States Steel Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45622810/japans-nippon-steel-to-acquire-us-steel-at-55-per-share-report">acquisition by Japan&#8217;s</a> Nippon Steel Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>) in a $15 billion deal. 
Japan&#8217;s benchmark Nikkei 225 opened lower on Monday, down 1.37% or 521 points, trading at 37,443.59. Steel makers and export-oriented companies led the decline, while real estate, media, and communications remain on the ascent.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is down 0.2% for the day, trading at 99.1459, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/05/45617358/gold-demand-holds-firm-as-dollar-confidence-wavers">amid wavering confidence</a> among global investors in the currency.
The markets on Monday will be closely watching Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s speech in Washington, DC, following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45692797/trump-tells-powell-hes-making-a-mistake-by-not-cutting-rates-fed-reaffirms-independence">closed-door meeting</a> with Trump at the White House on Friday.
Investors will also be closely watching the earnings results of companies such as Campbell&#8217;s Co.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRDO#NASDAQ">CRDO</a>), which are scheduled to announce on Monday.

Dow Futures Slip Over 100 Points After Trump Announces Doubling Steel Tariffs, Nikkei Down

Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has announced his decision to testify in his own defamation trial, according to a report on Sunday. The trial, which is scheduled to commence next week, originates from a lawsuit filed in 2022 by former Dominion Voting Systems employee Eric Coomer.
What Happened: &#8220;Of course I'm gonna testify at my own trial! … I have nothing to hide. I am a former crack addict, I've always been open about that. I've always been open about everything! I'm as transparent as they come … So I have nothing to hide at this trial,&#8221; said Lindell, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/mike-lindell-testify-2020-election-defamation-trial-1235351834/">reported</a> Rolling Stone.
Lindell, who has been vocal about conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election, is accused of targeting Coomer in a disinformation campaign. Coomer claims that Lindell falsely accused him of conspiring to manipulate the election results against Trump. Despite legal advice typically advising against personal testimony in such cases, Lindell is determined to take the stand to defend his actions.
&#8220;I'm not going to incriminate myself! I've done nothing wrong,&#8221; said Lindell, according to the report. He said he would &#8220;spend every dime&#8221; he had to &#8220;save this country&#8221; and vowed to borrow money if he had to.
According to Rolling Stone, Lindell intends to argue that he was unaware of Coomer&#8217;s identity and plans to emphasize the financial repercussions of Coomer&#8217;s lawsuit on MyPillow. He asserts that the lawsuit has cost the company over $20 million in sales due to a settlement with Newsmax, which no longer features his products.

Lindell&#8217;s legal team has encountered difficulties, including the use of generative AI for legal documents, which led to numerous errors. Despite these challenges, Lindell remains resolute about testifying, asserting his commitment to eliminating electronic voting machines and defending his actions as a public service.
Why It Matters: Lindell&#8217;s financial troubles have been widely reported, with MyPillow <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35210261/trump-ally-my-pillow-guys-financial-woes-force-business-to-pull-tv-ads-promises-comeback">pulling its television ads</a> due to monetary difficulties. This move followed Lindell&#8217;s admission of being financially strained due to his persistent efforts to prove the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
Moreover, MyPillow also faced a lawsuit from DHL over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40847627/mypillow-guy-mike-lindells-company-hit-with-a-lawsuit-by-dhl-over-unpaid-bills">nearly $800,000 in unpaid bills</a>. The lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County District Court, claims that MyPillow breached a contract requiring timely payments for parcel delivery services.

MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell Reportedly Plans To Testify At His Defamation Trial: 'I Have Nothing To Hide. I Am A Former Crack Addict'

On Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44532472/50-cent-once-said-he-was-thinking-like-a-harvard-guy-when-building-his-headphone-brand-but-whatever-happened-to-the-ambitious-startup-sms-audio">rapper and entrepreneur</a> Curtis &#8220;50 Cent&#8221; Jackson said he plans to personally reach out to Donald Trump to dissuade him from issuing a pardon for Sean "Diddy" Combs, should the music mogul be convicted in his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38968131/diddy-do-it-documentary-on-embattled-rapper-snapped-up-by-worlds-biggest-streaming-platform">ongoing federal sex trafficking</a> and racketeering case.
What Happened: Speaking out on Instagram, 50 Cent criticized Diddy and said he will warn Trump against offering him clemency.&nbsp;
"I'm going to reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy," Jackson wrote, adding, "Donald doesn't take well to disrespect."

"He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated not Puffy Daddy," he added in a follow-up post, referencing past remarks Diddy reportedly made against Trump.
The comments came after Trump, when asked about a possible pardon for Diddy, told reporters, "I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me wouldn't have any impact."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/01214111/Screenshot-2025-06-02-at-7.11.05%E2%80%AFAM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-934431" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Instagram</figcaption></figure>
Why It's Important: Previously, former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight told NewsNation he believes Diddy could receive leniency if convicted, suggesting he's got "some favors with the government," <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/5327425-50-cent-says-he-will-dissuade-trump-from-potential-diddy-pardon/">reported</a> The Hill.

50 Cent Says He'll Personally Ask Trump Not To Pardon Diddy If Disgraced Rapper Is Convicted: 'Donald Doesn't Take Well To Disrespect'

Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy by sharing an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory regarding Joe Biden on Truth Social. This latest move has drawn attention due to its sensational nature and the potential implications of spreading such misinformation.
What Happened: Trump reposted a conspiracy theory on Truth Social, claiming that&nbsp;Biden was executed in 2020&nbsp;and replaced by clones or robots, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-shares-unfounded-conspiracy-theory-claiming-biden-was-executed-2-rcna210244">NBC News</a>&nbsp;on Sunday.
The original post, made by&nbsp;an anonymous user known for spreading outlandish claims, alleged&nbsp;that Biden was replaced with&nbsp;"clones, doubles" and "robotic engineered&nbsp;soulless mindless entities." Trump shared this post with&nbsp;his nearly 10 million followers&nbsp;without adding context.
The White House did not&nbsp;immediately comment on&nbsp;why Trump shared the post&nbsp;or whether he believes the claims. Trump has a history of sharing misinformation, including false claims about winning the 2020 election, which led to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Additionally, Trump has previously spread debunked theories, such as questioning Barack Obama&#8216;s birthplace and alleging Haitian immigrants were "eating the pets." His administration has also been involved in spreading conspiracy theories, including misinformation about vaccines and the so-called deep state, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The timing of Trump&#8217;s actions coincides with recent news about Biden&#8217;s health. Biden, 82, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45485704/joe-biden-diagnosed-with-advanced-prostate-cancer-trump-wishes-former-president-a-fast-and-successful-recovery">diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer</a>. The cancer, which has metastasized to his bones, is described as hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management. This diagnosis has brought Biden&#8217;s health into the spotlight, making Trump&#8217;s unfounded claims even more significant.

Trump Shares Baseless Theory About Biden's Alleged Execution And Subsequent Robotic Replacement In 2020

Bettors on Polymarket were not convinced about Jerome Powell&#8217;s exit as rumors circulated that the Federal Reserve Chair would step down on Monday.
What Happened: The odds for the betting contract titled "Will Trump remove Jerome Powell in 2025?" remained unchanged at 12%, despite strong speculation on X regarding his resignation.
According to the rules, the market will resolve to "Yes" if Powell ceases to be Fed Chair before Dec. 31. Over $838,000 has been wagered on this outcome as of this writing.
Note that Polymarket, which operates on the&nbsp;Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>) blockchain, is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44185814/polymarket-ceo-who-was-raided-by-the-fbi-on-allegations-of-regulatory-violations-gets-invited-to-white-house-crypto-summit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unavailable to U.S. residents due to regulatory restrictions</a>.

Widely followed X handles have been amplifying rumors that Powell will resign on Monday, despite no evidence supporting this possibility yet.

Authorities are intensifying their investigation into a violent incident in Boulder, Colorado, which has been classified as a &#8220;targeted terror attack&#8221; by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The attack, which occurred during a pro-Israel demonstration, has raised significant concerns about the safety of community gatherings.
What Happened: The FBI and local authorities are probing a Sunday afternoon attack in Boulder, Colorado, that injured multiple individuals. According to a <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5328100-boulder-attack-fbi/">report</a> from The Hill, FBI Director Kash Patel described the event as a &#8220;targeted terror attack.&#8221; The incident occurred at a pedestrian mall near 13th and Pearl streets during a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration.
Officers responded to reports of several victims and evacuated the area. A suspect was apprehended but remains unidentified publicly. The attack involved a man allegedly setting people on fire, with the exact number of injuries still unknown. The suspect was taken into custody without incident and&nbsp;transported to the hospital with&nbsp;minor injuries.
President Donald Trump has been briefed on the situation, a White House official informed NewsNation. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) condemned the act as a &#8220;heinous act of terror,&#8221; while Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser suggested it appears to be a hate crime. The attack targeted a Jewish community gathering organized by Run for Their Lives, aiming to raise awareness for hostages held in Gaza.
The Boulder Jewish community expressed their sorrow over the incident, which involved an incendiary device thrown at participants. They pledged to keep the community informed as more details emerge.

Why It Matters: This attack in Boulder is part of a troubling pattern of violence targeting Jewish communities and individuals. 
Just days before, on May 22, two Israeli Embassy staff members were killed in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45557408/two-israeli-embassy-staff-killed-in-shooting-near-dc-museum">shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum</a> in Washington, D.C. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled that incident as a &#8220;depraved&#8221; act, emphasizing the need for justice.

FanBasis Closes $20M Round Backed By Ryan Serhant, The Sidemen, And Gerard Piqué To Transform Creators Into 7-Figure Digital CEOs

Uber (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says the trend of Gen Z delaying or ditching driver's licenses isn't just something he sees in the data; it's happening in his own household.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Teens Are Ditching the Wheel</h2>
"I'm still trying to get my son to get his driver's license," Khosrowshahi said on a recent episode of The Verge's &#8220;Decoder&#8221; <a href="https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/672087/uber-dara-khosrowshahi-waymo-ai-bus-transit-tesla-self-driving">podcast</a>. "It drives me crazy. I don't know about you, but did you get a license the minute you could drive? It was just such a thing. It was a goal in life. It represented freedom."

</ul>
Khosrowshahi pointed out that the percentage of 16- and 18-year-olds getting licenses has dropped significantly. He called it a clear sign that personal car ownership no longer holds the same value it once did. &#8220;If you look at the percentage of 16- or 18-year-olds who are getting their license, that percentage is coming down significantly,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think it used to be two-thirds, but now it's probably in the 50 percent range.&#8221;
Asked if his son's reluctance to drive was a sign of Uber's success or that of a popular video game Fortnite, Khosrowshahi quipped, "Probably the two are mixed. I also think it's an indication of the urbanization of our populations, but I haven't actually looked into whether heavy Fortnite players are Uber users as well. I suspect they may be. Certainly Uber Eats users."

According to the latest <a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2023/pdf/dl22.pdf">data</a> from the U.S. Department of Transportation, just under 4% of licensed drivers in the country are 19 or younger. That's a big drop from decades past. In 1983, 46% of all 16-year-olds had a license. By 2019, that number was 25%.
For 18-year-olds, the decline is similar: from 80% with a license in 1983 down to 58% in 2022.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Gen Z Isn't Driving</h2>
Young people are skipping licenses for a bunch of reasons. Many don't need a car to connect with friends anymore—they're online all the time. Others use ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>), or stick to public transit and biking. Driving anxiety is also playing a role.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
According to a 2023 <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/parenting/2023/02/21/teens-not-driving/">Washington Post</a> report, aggressive driving and road rage were on the rise. Combined with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mental-health">mental health</a> challenges, some teens now see driving as stressful, not exciting.
Gen Z's hesitance has big implications for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45275248/uber-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-says-average-waymo-in-austin-is-busier-than-99-of-human-drivers">future of transportation</a>, especially for a company like Uber. But Khosrowshahi sees it as a sign of change, not disaster. "Uber's freed him up," he said about his son. That flexibility is part of what Uber wants to offer more broadly.

Uber CEO Says Gen Z Skipping Driving Licenses Is Real—And Personal. His Own Son Won't Get One, And It's Driving Him 'Crazy'

Jim Cramer, one of the most prominent hosts in financial television, recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of his CNBC show "Mad Money."
&nbsp;In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZegKKOVojTk&amp;t=159s">interview</a> with NBC's "Today" last month, Cramer reflected on two decades of his show and explained why he believes it resonated with the general public. He was asked to give advice on tackling financial uncertainty as Americans brace for the impact of tariffs. Cramer said when he started his show, it was not a "great time" for the economy, but investors who stayed in the market "did great." Cramer urged people to keep investing despite broader market headwinds.

"Same thing is going to go on here," Cramer said. "Stay the course. And if it gets too crazy, just continue to stay the course. Put more money in. $50 a month. Okay? $50 a month is a great amount."
When asked where investors should put their money, Cramer said people should start with an S&amp;P fund.
"Never, ever lose faith in the country. Remember the country and the market — they&#8217;re very separate from what happens in Washington," he added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cramer Says ‘Bad Stuff' Incoming</h2>
Cramer expects a lot of "bad stuff" in the weeks ahead due to inflation. However, he believes that it would not "last forever."
"It will be tough on the regular person because you&#8217;re not going to be making enough to cover what is basically a tax," Cramer said. "And I&#8217;m not saying Republican or Democrat. I&#8217;m just telling the truth."&nbsp;
Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve kept its benchmark lending rate unchanged, but warned that inflation could increase due to the impact of tariffs.&nbsp;
"If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they're likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment," Fed Chair Jerome Powell <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/fed-keeps-rates-steady-as-tariff-uncertainty-roils-outlook-55ebe99f">said</a> at a news conference at the time.

Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said in a recent interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdE3Dg2hw6w">CNBC</a> that the economy and policies are in a lot of flux and pointed to inflation risks.
"I worry a lot about the inflation side, and mainly because we're seeing expectations move in a troublesome way," Bostic said.
Asked whether he believes we are headed for a recession, Cramer said "absolutely not," adding that the US is poised to see strong jobs growth.
"But we&#8217;ll be headed for prices that we&#8217;re not used to seeing," he said.

Jim Cramer Predicts We're Headed To 'Prices We're Not Used To' – Says You Should Invest At Least $50 a Month to Tackle Financial Uncertainty

As the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) looms,&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) seems to be grappling to keep up with AI frontrunners such as OpenAI and Google, despite its best efforts.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-06-01/apple-s-wwdc-2025-plan-macos-tahoe-apple-intelligence-ai-ios-26-games-app-mbdlzqpz?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest</a> weekly "Power On&#8221; revealed that Apple&#8217;s AI platform, Apple Intelligence, has failed to meet expectations since its launch a year ago.
Initially, the platform was hailed as a potential game-changer in the AI industry, but it soon became clear that it was more about marketing than revolutionary innovation.
Features of Apple Intelligence, such as Writing Tools, Genmoji, and Priority Notifications, were found to be useful but not as groundbreaking as those offered by competitors. 
The launch of&nbsp;the new Siri voice assistant,&nbsp;a crucial element of Apple Intelligence, was put on hold indefinitely due to technical and testing problems.

With the first anniversary of Apple Intelligence nearing, Apple is under pressure to create a buzz around AI at the WWDC on June 9. However, industry insiders predict that the conference may fall short in terms of AI. 
The recent advancements made by OpenAI and Google have heightened the competition and cemented their status as AI leaders.
Apple&#8217;s most notable AI announcement at the WWDC is likely to be the release of its Foundation Models to third-party developers, allowing them to leverage Apple&#8217;s on-device technology for lightweight tasks like text summarization.
Despite these hurdles, Apple reportedly plans to persuade consumers of its AI innovation at WWDC 2026. However, with competitors advancing swiftly, taking a year off could prove to be a gamble.

Apple's AI Struggles To Keep Pace With Rivals Ahead Of WWDC 2025

Renowned billionaire investor&nbsp;Charlie Munger&nbsp;once shared his six rules for a happy life.
What Happened: Munger, despite facing significant personal and financial challenges early in his life, managed to transform his circumstances and achieve extraordinary success. His six rules for a happy life are a reflection of his personal experiences and observations.
One of his key principles is to avoid comparing oneself with others, particularly in terms of wealth. Munger states, &#8220;Someone&nbsp;will always be getting richer&nbsp;faster than you. This is&nbsp;no great tragedy.&#8221; He believes that envy is a path to misery and can lead to poor investment decisions.
During an interview, Munger highlights the significance of gratitude and a positive outlook on life, rather than harboring regrets and resentments. He advises people to reflect daily on the things they are grateful for and the cherished memories of loved ones.

"Someone will always be getting richer faster than you. This is no great tragedy," Munger said.
"Life will have terrible blows in it, horrible blows, unfair blows. It doesn't matter. And some people recover and others don't," he continued. 
Financial responsibility is another vital rule. Munger recommends not spending more than one&#8217;s earnings. He also underscores the importance of reliability, learning from life&#8217;s setbacks, understanding people&#8217;s patterns, and lifelong learning.
Munger&#8217;s rules provide a unique insight into living a fulfilling life, drawn from the experiences of a man who has overcome substantial obstacles to achieve remarkable success. His principles serve as a guide for those seeking to navigate their personal and financial lives effectively.

Munger&#8217;s advice to focus on gratitude and positivity, coupled with financial responsibility, offers a balanced approach to life and wealth management.

Charlie Munger's Life Advice: 'Someone Will Always Be Getting Richer Faster Than You, This Is No Great Tragedy'

Entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban has never been shy about sharing his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45482924/mark-cuban-sounds-alarm-on-tariffs-heres-his-4-word-warning-to-american-consumers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinions on business </a>and investment topics.
In a 2022 interview, Cuban shared why he's against share buybacks.
What Happened: Many public companies offer stock dividends and share buybacks to reward shareholders. Each has its own tax advantages or disadvantages and can increase the stock price.
Cuban <a href="https://x.com/SquawkCNBC/status/1557714955717206016">shared </a>his thoughts on share buybacks calling into CNBC during a segment discussing how the Inflation Reduction Act would add a 1% tax on share buybacks.
"No one is a fan of more taxes, but of all the taxes you're trying to create, I think a tax on buybacks is a good idea," Cuban said.
Cuban said he wouldn't compare it to carried tax, as it wasn't the same thing and he's not an expert there.
The entrepreneur said companies need to make decisions between share buybacks and dividends to reward shareholders.
"The old notion that share buybacks were more tax advantage for shareholders, this is just not the case any longer," he said.
Cuban also explained the difference, in his opinion, of who benefits from share buybacks.
"For share buybacks you reward the people who are leaving and selling your stock instead of rewarding the people who are keeping your stock."

Why It's Important:&nbsp;The conversation between Sorkin and Cuban came after a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1557544891613384706" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">thread&nbsp;</a>from the entrepreneur on&nbsp;Twitter Inc, now known as X,&nbsp;where Cuban shared that share buybacks are not good for most employees.
"They rarely buy those shares directly from employees. And employees can't time their sales to the announcement," Cuban tweeted.
Cuban said the employees own the pricing risk when they are able to or need to sell.
Cuban suggested employers buy back the shares from the employees to eliminate their pricing risk.
"Why should a company reward shareholders who want to sell all, or reduce their holdings? You talk about misaligned incentives with the board/management and stakeholders."
Buying back stock lowers the shares outstanding, which can increase earnings per share and reward shareholders indirectly.

Mark Cuban Once Said Share Buybacks Reward The Wrong People: 'Why Should A Company Reward Shareholder Who Want To Sell'

Renowned investor Peter Lynch once emphasized the necessity for the American public to increase their savings, citing the lack of incentives in the current system to encourage this behavior.
What Happened: Lynch underscored the need for a higher savings rate among the U.S. public. He argued that the current system does not sufficiently motivate people to save.
In an interview, Lynch noted that the U.S. currently has the highest capital gains rate in its history, in contrast to Japan, which has a zero capital gains rate and a 20% savings rate.

&#8220;No one&#8217;s encouraging savings,&#8221; he stated, highlighting the crucial role of savings in fueling capital investment, productivity, job creation, and improved living standards.
&#8220;For every savings of a dollar, money goes into capital investment, that yields more productivity, yields more jobs, yields better standard of living. We are not saving enough money. That&#8217;s the most single important thing people have to do, they have to save some more,&#8221; he added.

He also tackled the issue of short-term profit versus long-term stability in the context of corporate management. Lynch emphasized that companies need to concentrate on long-term objectives, such as enhancing products and services, and maintaining competitiveness. 
&#8220;We just can&#8217;t raise prices. That game&#8217;s over,&#8221; he said, underlining the necessity for innovation and cost reduction in various industries.
Why It Matters: Lynch&#8217;s comments come at a time when the U.S. savings rate is at a historic low. The lack of incentives to save in the current system, coupled with the high capital gains rate, is discouraging the public from saving. 
This could have far-reaching implications for the economy, as savings are a crucial driver of capital investment, productivity, and job creation. 
Furthermore, Lynch&#8217;s emphasis on long-term stability over short-term profit in corporate management underscores the need for businesses to innovate and reduce costs in order to stay competitive.

솔라나(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)는 수요일(16일) 캐나다에서 ETF를 출시한 이후 다른 대형 암호화폐의 정체와 달리 상승했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 시가총액 기준 6의 암호화폐인 솔라나는 지난 24시간 동안 3% 가까이 급등하며 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), 이더리움(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>) 같은 암호화폐의 수익률을 초과했다.
솔라나의 거래량은 32.76% 급등한 43억 7천만 달러로 지난 24시간 동안 5번째로 많이 거래된 암호화폐가 되었다.
<a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/SOL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">코인글라스</a>에 따르면 오픈 계약을 체결한 바이낸스 트레이더 중 절반 이상이 솔 가격 상승에 베팅하는 등 코인에 대한 투기적 관심도 증가했다.
왜 중요한가: 이러한 긍정적인 분위기는 캐나다의 토론토 증권거래소에서 3iQ 솔라나 스테이킹 ETF가 출시되면서 이어졌으며, 수요일 가격은 3.40% 상승한 10.34달러로 마감했다.
앤서니 스카라무치가 운영하는 스카이브릿지 캐피털이 지원하는 이 솔라나 스테이킹 ETF는 다른 유명 투자자들과 함께 투자자들에게 SOL의 가격 변동에 노출되는 동시에 스테이킹을 통해 패시브 보상을 제공한다.
특히, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855538/cathie-woods-crypto-shuffle-pours-5-2-million-into-newly-listed-solana-staking-fund-dumps-bitcoin-etf-and-buys-robinhood-dip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">유명 투자자 캐시 우드가 이끄는 투자 회사 아크 인베스트</a>는 이 ETF 50만 주를 매입했다. 아크 인베스트는 비트코인, 이더리움, 솔라나 등<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43200287/cathie-wood-was-asked-if-she-would-buy-trump-coin-heres-what-she-said" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> &#8216;빅 3&#8217;</a> 에 집중하는 암호화폐 투자자로 잘 알려져 있다는 점을 기억할 필요가 있다.
미국 규제 당국은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44850735/solana-price-falls-but-holds-key-support-as-canadian-etf-approval-institutional-buying-offer-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">아직 솔라나 ETF를 승인하지 않았지만</a> 반에크(VanEck), 비트와이즈(Bitwise), 그레이스케일(Grayscale) 등의 자산 운용사가 신청서를 제출했다.

금융 공시에 따르면 새로 확정된 연방수사국(FBI) 국장인 캐시 파텔(Kash Patel)은 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 투자에 상당한 노출을 가지고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 캐시 파텔은 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>)에 50,001달러~100,000달러, 그 &#8216;스핀오프&#8217; 격인 Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTC#NYSE">BTC</a>)에 최대 15,000달러를 보유하고 있다고 보고했다.
또한, 그는 주요 비트코인 채굴 회사인 코어 사이언티픽(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>)의 지분을 50,001~100,000달러 보유하고 있었다.
왜 중요한가: 이러한 공개는 도널드 트럼프 행정부의 고위 관리들이 암호화폐에 관여하고 있다는 최신 증거로 볼 수 있다.
상당한 양의 이더리움(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)을 보유하고 있는 대통령 외에도 스콧 베센트 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42936887/trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-reveals-up-to-500000-bitcoin-stake-via-blackrocks-etf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">재무장관</a>, 로버트 F. 케네디 주니어 보건장관, 하워드 러트닉 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43809086/us-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnicks-cantor-fitzgerald-increases-bitcoin-exposure-via-etfs-mstr-mara-adds-chinese-firms-like-baba-baidu-jd-in-q4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">상무장관</a> 등이 디지털 자산에 투자했다.
목요일(20알) 상원에서 FBI 국장으로 확정된 파텔은 2019년 국가안보위원회에서 트럼프 대통령을 위해 일한 바 있다. 또한 바이든 행정부의 국방부 인수 작업에도 참여했다.
한편, 파텔은 트럼프가 공동 설립한 트럼프 미디어 앤 테크놀로지 그룹의 이사로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42278429/trump-fbi-pick-kash-patels-wealth-has-grown-from-trump-media-board-position-consulting-deal-and-trump-themed-childrens-books" target="_blank" rel="noopener">재직</a>했으며 FBI 국장을 맡기 전에 그 직책을 그만두겠다고 밝혔다.

거대 투자은행 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)가 최근 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출한 자료에 따르면, 2024년 4분기에 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 및 이더리움(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) 현물 ETF 주식을 더 많이 매입한 것으로 나타났다.
무슨 일 있었나: 골드만삭스는 Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) 353만 주, 즉 2억 8,810만 달러에 달하는 상당한 지분을 보유하고 있다고 보고했다. 12월 31일로 끝나는 4분기에 추가로 180만 주를 매입했다.
또한 세계 최대 비트코인 펀드인 iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) 1,130만 주를 추가로 매입한 후 노출을 12억 7,000만 달러로 늘렸다.
흥미롭게도 골드만삭스는 ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>)의 전체 지분을 매각하고 Grayscale Bitcoin ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>)에 대한 노출을 축소했다.
골드만삭스의 총 비트코인 ETF 보유액은 3분기에 보고된 7억 1천만 달러에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029764/global-banks-jp-morgan-goldman-sachs-add-to-bitcoin-ethere-etf-positions-in-q3-morgan-stanley-increases-microstrategy-stake-to-16b">15억 6천만</a> 달러로 증가했다.
그리고 골드만삭스는 이더리움 현물 ETF 포지션도 추가했다.
처음으로 골드만삭스는 iShares Ethereum Trust ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHA#NASDAQ">ETHA</a>)에 대한 노출을 추가하여 931만 주, 즉 2억 3,550만 달러 상당을 매입했다. 또한 Fidelity Ethereum Fund(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FETH#BATS">FETH</a>)에 대한 지분을 2억 3,469만 달러로 늘렸다고 보고했다.
골드만삭스의 총 이더리움 ETF 보유액은 4분기 말 4억 7,650만 달러로 전기의 2,500만 달러 대비 대폭 증가했다.
주가 움직임: <a href=""https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.."">벤징가 프로 데이터에</a> 따르면 화요일 정규장에서 골드만삭스 주가는 0.51% 하락한 647.24달러로 마감했다. 올해 들어 주가는 13.03% 상승했다.

금요일(10일) CMC 암호화폐 공포·탐욕 지수(CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index)가 50 아래로 급락하며 10월 14일 이후 최저치를 기록했다. 이 하락은 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 가격이 92,000달러 아래로 떨어지면서 시장 심리에 주목할 만한 변화가 생겼다.
무슨 일 있었나: 금요일 오전 3시 20분(동부 표준시) 현재 비트코인은 94,708.791달러에 거래되고 있으며 공포·탐욕 지수는 42를 기록했다. <a href="//coinmarketcap.com/charts/fear-and-greed-index/"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">코인마켓캡</a>의 독자적인 도구인 CMC 공포·탐욕 지수는 암호화폐 시장의 지배적인 심리를 측정한다. 0에서 100 사이의 이 지수는 시장의 감정 상태를 반영하여 투자자의 행동에 영향을 미친다.
지수 값이 낮을수록 극도의 두려움을, 높을수록 극도의 탐욕을 나타낸다. 이 지수는 투자자가 시장이 잠재적으로 저평가 또는 고평가되었는지 여부를 평가하는 데 도움이 된다. 최근 공포·탐욕 지수 하락은 시장 참여자들 사이에 공포감이 확산되고 있으며, 이는 매매 결정에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사한다.
왜 중요한가: 최근 비트코인 가격과 시장 심리가 하락한 것은 암호화폐 시장의 변동성이 커진 배경에서 비롯된다. 비트코인 ETF가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42895703/bitcoin-etfs-turn-one-90-gains-volatility-trump-era-hopes-for-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">출시 1주년을 맞이</a>하면서 암호화폐 시장의 예측할 수 없는 특성을 보여주었다. Grayscale 비트코인 신탁(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>)과 iShares 비트코인 신탁(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>)은 시장의 불안정성을 반영하듯 등락을 거듭하고 있다.
또한 경제학자 피터 쉬프는 최근 비트코인의 안전자산으로서의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42894166/peter-schiff-counters-bitcoins-safe-haven-narrative-amid-forecast-of-impending-fiat-train-wreck-there-is-no-riskier-asset" target="_blank" rel="noopener">명성을 비판했다</a>. 쉬프는 비트코인이 "가장 위험한 자산"이라고 주장하며 경제가 불확실한 시기에 피난처로 인식되는 비트코인의 역할에 이의를 제기했다. 그의 발언은 특히 금과 같은 전통적인 안전자산이 일부 투자자들에게 여전히 선호되는 가운데 금융 생태계에서 비트코인의 위치에 대한 논쟁이 계속되고 있음을 강조한다.
가격 움직임: <a href=""https://pro.benzinga.com/"">벤징가 프로</a> 데이터에 따르면 지난 7일 동안 비트코인은 1.8%, 도지코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>)은 0.3% 하락했고, 시바이누(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>)는 3.9% 하락했다.

암호화폐 공포·탐욕 지수, 10월 이후 최저 수준: 비트코인 92,000달러 아래로↓, 도지코인·시바이누↓

비트코인(CRYPTO:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc-usd" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for BTC/USD">BTC</a>) 상장지수펀드(ETF)가 미국 거래소에서 거래를 시작한 지 1년이 다가오면서 그 여정은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">암호화폐 시장</a> 자체만큼이나 변동성 있었다.
2024년 1월의 폭발적인 데뷔에서 최근 시장 변동성까지, 이들 펀드는 투자자들을 계속해서 궁금하게 만들었다.
<h2>비트코인 ETF의 급격한 데뷔</h2>
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust(ARCA:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gbtc" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for GBTC" data-google-interstitial="false">GBTC</a>)와 iShares Bitcoin Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ibit" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for IBIT" data-google-interstitial="false">IBIT</a>)은 2024년 1월 11일 미국 거래소에 상장된 최초의 비트코인 ETF 중 하나이다. 처음 거래된 날, 수천만 주의 주식이 거래되었고, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36614184/bitcoin-etfs-roar-onto-wall-street-on-day-1-but-questions-linger-about-new-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거래량이 수십억 달러로</a> 치솟았다.
그럼에도 불구하고, 이 펀드는 비트코인의 악명 높은 변동성을 여실히 보여주었다. GBTC는 0.5% 상승으로 마감된 반면, IBIT는 데뷔 당일 초반 상승세에도 불구하고 4% 이상 하락했다.
추가 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42885350/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-lower-corrections-are-typically-short-lived-trader-prefers-not-going-to-89000-to-90000">비트코인, 이더리움, 도지코인 하락 &#8216;수정은 일반적으로 단기적이다, 거래자는 89,000달러에서 90,000달러로 가지 않기를 선호한다&#8217;</a>
<h2>1년 후: 혼재된 신호</h2>
오늘날 두 ETF는 놀라운 연간 수익률을 기록했다. GBTC는 90.97%, IBIT는 100.30% 상승했다. 그러나 단기적인 움직임은 다른 이야기를 들려준다.
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09073804/Screenshot-2025-01-09-at-6.07.19-PM.png" alt="차트" /></figure>
<ul>
<li>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust(GBTC): 현재 가격이 $74.48인 GBTC는 8일 단순 이동 평균선(SMA) 아래에서 거래되고 있어 단기적으로 약세 신호를 보이고 있다. 그러나 20일, 50일 및 200일 SMA와 같은 장기 지표는 ETF에 대한 강세 모멘텀을 시사한다.</li>
<li>iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT): 현재 가격이 $53.34인 IBIT도 GBTC와 유사한 패턴을 보이며, 단기 신호는 약세이지만 장기 평균에서는 강세 전망을 나타낸다.</li>
</ul>
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09073815/Screenshot-2025-01-09-at-6.07.51-PM.png" alt="차트" /></figure>
이 펀드들의 추세는 &#8220;약세적&#8221;이며, 약간의 매도 압력이 가해지고 있어 암호화폐 시장 전반의 불확실성을 반영다.
<h2>비트코인의 험난한 여정</h2>
이 ETF의 성과는 단독으로 발생하는 것이 아니다. 비트코인 자체도 2024년의 강력한 랠리 이후 최근 후퇴를 경험했다. 유니티 월렛(Unity Wallet)의 COO인 제임스 톨레다노(James Toledano)는 다음과 같은 중요한 통찰을 제공했다:
&#8220;비트코인의 갑작스러운 하락은 거시경제적 요인과 시장 특유의 압력이 결합된 결과로 보인다. 예상보다 느린 연준(연방준비제도) 금리 인하와 강력한 미국 경제 데이터가 투기 자산에 부담을 주고 있다&#8221;고 톨레다노가 이메일 성명을 통해 밝혔다.
그는 또한 비트코인 2024년 급등 이후 차익 실현이 있었음을 지적했다. 이는 주로 도널드 트럼프의 친암호화폐 성향에 대한 낙관론에 의해 촉발되었다.
&#8220;이제 모든 사람들이 1월 20일 트럼프의 취임식을 기다리고 있다. 암호화폐가 다시 급등할 것이라는 기대감이 있기 때문에, 이는 폭풍 전의 고요함이다&#8221;고 톨레다노가 덧붙였다.
<h2>앞으로의 길</h2>
비트코인 ETF가 두 번째 해에 접어들면서 투자자들의 관심은 트럼프 행정부 하의 정책 변화와 시장 역학으로 이동할 것이다. 비트코인의 변동성이 사라질 기미가 보이지 않기 때문에 이 ETF는 위험 감수 성향이 있는 트레이더들에게 여전히 높은 위험을 동반한 베팅으로 남아 있다.
첫날의 불꽃놀이에서 오늘의 혼재된 신호까지, 비트코인 ETF는 한 가지를 입증했다: 마음이 약한 사람에게는 적합하지 않다는 것이다.
2025년이 더 많은 강세 모멘텀을 가져올지, 아니면 다음 암호화폐 폭풍 전의 고요함일지는 곧 투자자들이 알게 될 것이다.

2025년에 의문이 제기되면서 비트코인 ​​ETF의 첫 해에 엄청난 수익이 발생

메사리(Messari)의 새로운 보고서에 따르면, 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)는 새로 승인 된 ETF에 대한 기관 유입과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42640293/trump-congratulates-bitcoiners-on-new-all-time-highs-as-apex-crypto-suffers-first-weekly-loss-since-election-triumph" target="_blank" rel="noopener">차기 트럼프 행정부의 약속</a>에 힘입어 조심스럽게 낙관론을 탐색하고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 이러한 <a href="https://messari.io/report-pdf/a929cd003f5eec790275e05ae8ef28cf4a6b4bfc.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보고서</a>는 비트코인의 미래 궤적은 트럼프 행정부가 캠페인에서 내놓았던 수사를 가시적인 정책 성과로 전환할 수 있는지 여부에 달려 있다고 본다.
비트코인은 2024년에 상당한 가격 급등을 경험했으며, 비트코인 ETF 출시 이후 1분기에 75,000달러로 사상 최고치를 기록했고 12월에는 108,000달러로 또 한 번 사상 최고치를 기록했다.

암호화폐에 대해 긍정적인 입장을 표명한 트럼프가 대통령으로 선출되면서 암호화폐 업계에 희망적인 환경이 조성되었다.
그가 내세운 공약 중에는 게리 겐슬러 증권거래위원회 위원장 해고, 전략적 비트코인 준비금 도입, 비트코인 및 암호화폐 대통령 협의회 구성, 미국 내 비트코인 채굴 보장 등이 있다.
해당 보고서는 연방 차원의 비트코인 전략 준비금 도입 가능성은 낮지만, 실현 가능성이 높은 정책 중 일부가 실현된다면 현재의 시장 열기를 유지할 수 있다고 강조한다.
비트코인 네트워크는 오디널스(Ordinals)와 룬스(Runes)의 도입으로 중대한 진화를 겪고 있으며, 이는 대체불가능토큰(NFT)과 대체가능토큰을 활성화하면서 새로운 기능을 도입했다.
비트코인의 스테이킹 프로토콜인 바빌론(Babylon)도 새롭게 개발되어 보유자가 자산을 스테이킹하여 다른 네트워크를 보호할 수 있게 되었다.
이러한 발전에도 불구하고 보고서는 네트워크가 프로그래밍 가능성(programmability)을 극대화하도록 설계되지는 않았지만, 비트코인 유틸리티의 낮은 보급률로 인해 시장 가치가 300억 달러를 초과할 수 있다고 지적했다.
메사리는 기관 ETF 유입이 계속해서 가격 움직임의 주요 동인이 될 것이며, 이는 보다 안정적이고 낮은 가격 변동성으로 이어질 수 있다고 예상했다. 또한 룬스, 오디널스, 비트코인 스테이킹과 같은 새로운 개발의 성공 여부는 사용자 채택과 사용자 경험의 지속적인 개선에 달려 있음을 인정했다.

비트코인 투자자들, 2025년에 대해 낙관적으로 전망할 이유는?

아크 인베스트먼트 매니지먼트의 설립자 캐시 우드는 2024년 대선에서 도널드 트럼프가 카멀라 해리스를 물리치고 당선된 이후 인수합병(M&amp;A)이 급증할 것으로 예상했다.
무슨 일 있었나: ARK Innovation ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>)를 이끄는 것으로 유명한 캐시 우드는 목요일(19일) 블룸버그 TV와의 인터뷰에서 &#8220;그동안 M&amp;A는 연방거래위원회(FTC)에 의해 막혀 있었지만 이는 곧 바뀔 것&#8221;이라고 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd-ZoXq5R3w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">말했다</a>.
캐시 우드는 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) 가격이 2030년까지 150만 달러에 도달할 것으로 예상하면서 암호화폐에 대한 낙관적인 견해를 계속 유지하고 있다. 그는 비트코인이 "금보다 더 희소해지고 있다"고 강조하며, 4월 반감기 이후 연간 공급 증가율이 0.9%로 감소했다고 지적했다.
우드에 따르면, 금 가격이 오르면 생산량이 증가하지만 비트코인은 그렇게 되지 않도록 하는 구조다.
이러한 발언은 올해 비트코인이 120% 상승하여 현재 10만 달러 가까이에서 거래되는 가운데 나온 것이다. 우드는 비트코인의 공급 한도가 2,100만 개로 고정되어 있으며, 기관 투자자의 관심 증가와 규제 확실성 덕분에 가격이 상승했다고 설명했다.
특히 비트코인 ETF의 등장으로 소매 투자자들의 관심이 크게 증가했다. iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTC#NYSE">BTC</a>), ProShares Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>), Volatility Shares Trust 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITX#BATS">BITX</a>) 같은 주요 상품들이 다양한 옵션을 제공하여 암호화폐 시장에 대한 노출을 원하는 투자자들을 유치하고 있다.

또한 우드는 트럼프 대통령 행정부 아래서 더 광범위한 시장 참여에 대해 낙관론을 표명했다. 우드는 이전에 CNN에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42262916/ark-invests-cathie-wood-says-stock-market-will-broaden-out-under-trump-but-growth-wont-be-linear-nothing-goes-up-in-a-straight-line" target="_blank" rel="noopener">성장이 선형적이지 않을 것이라고 경고</a>하면서도 &#8220;시장은 지금 당장 확대되고 혁신의 선두에 있는 기업에 보상을 제공할 것&#8221;이라고 말했다.
캐시 우드의 전망은 공화당 행정부 하에서 특히 은행과 생명공학 분야에서 M&amp;A 활동이 증가할 것이라는 뱅크오브아메리카 애널리스트들의 예측과 일치한다. 이들은 역사적으로 공화당 대통령 재임 기간 동안 금융 부문 거래가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">50% 증가했다고</a> 언급했다.

캐시 우드의 예측: 트럼프 2기 M&A 급증, "금보다 더 희귀한 비트코인" 지속 상승

도널드 트럼프가 미국 대통령 선거에서 승리한 후, 바이낸스의 CEO인 리처드 텡(Richard Teng)은 미국의 암호화폐 섹터에 대한 긍정적인 전망을 밝혔다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 텡은 트럼프의 승리를 &#8220;암호화폐 산업의 황금 시대&#8221;로 해석하며, 디지털 통화에 열려 있는 새로운 미국 규제 당국이 등장할 것이라고 예측했다. <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b7ee8186-1778-4b16-bee8-279c03923a66">파이낸셜 타임스</a>에 보도된 바와 같이, 이전 민주당 행정부로 인해 압박을 받아왔던 암호화폐 섹터는 이제 워싱턴에서의 정책 변화에 대한 기대감을 가지고 있다.
작년, 바이낸스는 돈세탁 방지법 및 제재 위반으로 43억 달러의 막대한 벌금을 부과받았고, 전 대표는 투옥되었다. 업계는 이번 선거를 혁신을 억누르고 기업들을 미국에서 밀어내는 태도를 바꿀 수 있는 중대한 순간으로 보았다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41837111/as-trumps-return-to-white-house-china-plans-new-stimulus-package-to-protect-economy-from-us-trade-policies?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">트럼프의 백악관 복귀와 함께 중국은 미국 무역 정책으로부터 경제를 보호하기 위한 새로운 부양책을 계획</a>
선거 이후, 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)은 거의 10% 급등하여 76,000달러를 넘는 사상 최고가에 도달했다. 목요일 이 암호화폐에 직접 투자를 하는 그레이스케일 비트코인 트러스트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>)와 iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>)과 같은 미국 비트코인 상장지수펀드에 14억 달러가 기록적으로 투자되었다고 블룸버그 데이터에 나타났다.
투자자들은 트럼프 행정부가 지금까지 참여하지 않았던 주요 미국 기관들을 유치하는 의제를 설정할 것이라는 낙관적인 전망을 가지고 있다. 셔빈 피셔바(Shervin Pishevar)는 트럼프 및 일론 머스크와 가까운 관계를 가진 벤처 캐피털리스트로, 미국이 &#8220;이제 합리적인 암호화폐 정책의 경계에 있다&#8221;고 표현했다.
트럼프의 승리는 암호화폐 산업에 &#8220;믿을 수 없을 만큼 중요한 날&#8221;로 여겨지며, 이는 암호화폐 그룹 갤럭시(Galaxy)의 억만장자 설립자인 마이클 노보그라츠(Mike Novogratz)의 말이다. 업계는 또한 증권거래위원회(SEC)에서 정책 변화가 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.
암호화폐 산업의 궁극적인 목표는 개리 겐슬러(Gary Gensler) 위원장이 포괄적인 공세를 시작한 증권거래위원회에서의 정책 변화이다. 업계는 보류 중인 사건에 대한 중단과 이전 지배진의 인식된 불공정함의 시정을 희망하고 있다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 트럼프의 승리 이후 암호화폐 산업의 낙관론은 최근의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41814670/donald-trumps-win-coupled-with-macro-factors-sets-stage-for-accelerated-cycle-in-crypto-ma">암호화폐 시장의 상승 사이클</a>에 대한 예측과 일치한다. 분석가들은 호의적인 거시경제 조건과 공화당 행정부 하에서 더 많은 암호화폐 친화적 법안이 나올 가능성을 주요 성장 동인으로 지적했다.
또한, 규제 정책의 변화는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41810728/jpmorgan-predicts-strong-performance-for-bitcoin-and-gold-under-trump-presidency">트럼프 대통령 하에서 비트코인과 금의 강력한 성과 예측</a>에서도 중요한 요소로 여겨진다. 이러한 자산들은 통화 가치 하락 시 신뢰할 수 있는 가치 저장소로 간주된다. 이는 인플레이션 또는 확장적 재정 정책으로 인한 상황일 수 있다.
더욱이, 이 업계의 낙관론은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41866459/crypto-analyst-sees-bitcoin-hitting-80000-this-month">비트코인이 이번 달에 80,000달러에 도달할 것이라는 예측</a>에서 반영된다. 업계 전문가들은 트럼프 행정부 하에서 더 우호적인 규제 환경이 조성될 경우 암호화폐 시장의 추가 성장을 촉진할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.
가격 동향: 비트코인은 현재 77,310달러로 거래되고 있으며, 이는 지난 주 동안 13.52% 증가한 수치이다. <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> 데이터에 따르면 BTC는 77,000달러를 처음으로 넘었다.

트럼프의 승리는 미국 암호화폐에 '황금 시대'를 예고, 비트코인이 처음으로 $77,000 돌파

지난주는 암호화폐 시장의 활발한 활동이 이어졌다. 도널드 트럼프, 카멀라 해리스와 같은 정치인부터 비트코인 ​​전략에 의문을 제기하는 피터 쉬프(Peter Schiff)와 같은 경제학자, 암호화폐 사기에 대해 경고를 발령하는 FBI까지. 이들 흥미로운 뉴스의 요약은 다음과 같다.
노보그라츠, 해리스가 곧 암호화폐를 지지할 것으로 예상
갤럭시의 CEO인 마이크 노보그라츠(Mike Novogratz)는 도널드 트럼프의 최근 친암호화 입장에 따라 카멀라 해리스 부통령이 곧 암호화폐 산업에 대한 지지를 보여줄 수 있다고 제안했다. 트럼프는 지난주 비트코인 ​​2024 컨퍼런스에서 재선될 경우 미국 정부가 보유하거나 획득한 모든 비트코인을 유지하겠다고 다짐하면서 헤드라인을 장식했다. 다가오는 선거에서 트럼프에 도전할 것으로 예상되는 해리스는 아직 암호화폐에 대한 자신의 입장을 밝히지 않았다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40110137/mike-novogratz-predicts-kamala-harris-may-soon-embrace-crypto-in-light-of-donald-trumps-pr">기사 전문 읽기</a>
피터 쉬프, 트럼프와 세일러의 비트코인 전략에 의문 제기

주간 주요 암호화폐 뉴스: 마이클 노보그라츠, 그레이스케일 비트코인 신탁, FBI의 경고 등

미국에서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38962095/ethereum-etf-launch-potentially-still-weeks-away-says-bloomberg-analyst">현물 이더리움 상장지수펀드(ETF)</a>의 승인 가능성에 대한 기대가 커지는 가운데, 글로벌 투자 매니저인 반에크(VanEck)의 ETF가 &#8220;ETHV&#8221;라는 티커 심볼로 중앙예탁결제원(DTCC)에 상장되었다.
일어난 일 (What Happened): 이번 이슈는 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)의 최종 승인을 받기 전 중요한 단계로 평가된다.
DTCC는 미국의 중요 금융 시장 인프라 공급자로서 청산, 결제 및 거래 보고서 서비스를 제공한다.
DTCC 상장은 SEC 승인을 위한 필수 단계입니다. 현재 반에크(VanEck)의 ETF는 DTCC 웹사이트에서 비활성 상태로 지정되어 있으며 이는 필요한 규제 승인을 확보할 때까지 처리할 수 없음을 나타낸다.
특히 반에크는 DTCC에 상장된 최초의 이더(Ether) ETF가 아니다. 프랭클린 템플턴(Franklin Templeton)의 현물 이더리움(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETF가 한 달 전에 플랫폼에 상장되었다.
DTCC의 목록에는 처리가 가능한 활성 ETF와 아직 활성화되지 않은 ETF가 모두 포함되어 있다.
반에크의 현물 이더 ETF 적용에 대한 SEC의 최종 결정은 5월 23일까지 나올 예정이다.
몇 달간 현물 ETH ETF가 거부될 가능성이 높다는 추측이 있었지만, SEC가 금주 초에 그런 가능성을 제기할만한 중요한 조치를 취했다. 그 결과로 금융 관리자들은 제안된 현물 이더 ETF의 19b-4 서류를 수정 및 재제출 할 것을 요청받았다.
일부 분석가들은 이러한 움직임을 긍정적인 신호로 해석하여 잠재적 승인 확률을 25%에서 75%로 높였다.
병행 전개 과정에서 나스닥 거래소는 블랙록(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NASDAQ">BLK</a>)의 현물 이더리움 ETF에 대한 업데이트된 19b-4 양식을 제출했으며 다른 수정된 서류도 제출되었다
나스닥은 수요일 이 세계 최대 자산 운용사에 대한 수정된 양식을 제출했으며, CboeBZX 거래소는 화요일 늦게 5개의 현물 ETF 제안에 대해 개정된 19b-4 양식을 제출했다.
이러한 수정된 서류는 이번 주 초 19b-4를 수정해 달라는 SEC의 교환 요청에 따른 것이다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/ "><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-267246" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" width="300" height="250" /></a></figure>

양식 19b-4는 제안된 규칙 변경에 대해 SEC에 알리고 현물 이더 ETF가 발효되기 전에 기관의 승인이 필요하다.
또한 S-1 등록 명세서는 자금이 거래를 시작하기 전에 승인되어야 한다.

반에크의 현물 이더리움 ETF가 SEC의 결정을 앞두고 DTCC에 상장

유명한 암호화폐 분석가인 윌리 우(Willy Woo)는 비트코인 ETF의 도입이 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)의 가격을 금을 넘어서게 할 수도 있다고 예측했다.
What Happened: 월요일 트윗에서 우는 최근 비트코인 ​​ETF 도입을 고려하여 비트코인의 미래 성과에 대한 예측을 설명했다. 그는 일단 ETF 투자자들이 완전히 배치되면 비트코인은 약세장 바닥으로 91,000달러, 강세장 최고점은 650,000달러의 가격 목표에 도달할 수 있다고 제안했다. 이는 보수적인 추정치이며 ETF가 역할을 완료하면 비트코인이 금의 시가총액을 초과할 가능성이 높다고 그가 강조했다.

우의 계산은 100조 달러를 관리하는 자산 관리자가 자금의 2%를 비트코인에 할당하여 2조 달러를 할당한다는 가정을 기반으로 한다. 그는 또한 비트코인의 현재 투자 보유액 561,159,959달러를 고려하고 MVRV 비율을 사용하여 투자 금액 대비 시가총액을 계산했다.
Why It Matters: 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)는 2024년 1월 10일 그레이스케일(Grayscale) 비트코인 트러스트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>), 비트와이즈(Bitwise) 비트코인 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>), 해시덱스(Hashdex) 비트코인 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEFI#NYSE">DEFI</a>), 발키리(Valkyrie) 비트코인 펀드(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRRR#NASDAQ">BRRR</a>), ARK 21Shares 비트코인 ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>) 등 다양한 기관들의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36514679/wall-street-enters-the-crypto-age-sec-issues-historic-approval-of-spot-bitcoin-etfs">최신 ETF 도입에 대한 신청을 승인했다.</a>
금의 추정 시가총액은 1온스 당 2400달러의 가격을 기준으로 약 16.1조 달러이다.
우는 자신의 게시물에서 &#8220;비트코인은 자산 관리자들의 자본이 투자되는 순간에 확실히 금의 시가총액을 넘어설 것이다. ETF가 승인된 시점부터 금의 시가총액은 12년 동안 강세를 보였으며 이제는 이 비트코인의 차례다&#8221;라고 말했다.
비트코인의 현재 시가총액은 1.2조 달러이다. 우에 따르면 코인 당 650,000달러의 가격에서, 이 비트코인의 시가총액은 12.8조 달러까지 상승할 것으로 예상된다.
최근에 우는 비트코인의 가격이 중요한 지지선인 58,900달러임에도 불구하고 매도 포지션 청산으로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38246857/bitcoins-next-move-more-likely-to-hit-up-to-75k-on-short-liquidations-analyst-says">71,000달러에서 75,000달러로 상승할 수도 있다고 예측했다.</a> 그는 누적 거래량 델타(CVD) 측정이 상승 압력을 시사하고 있기 때문에 자신의 낙관적인 입장을 유지했다. 우는 비트코인 반감기 이벤트 주변에서 가격 변동성이 증가할 것으로 예상했고, 4월에는 가격이 불안정해질 것으로 예상했지만, 여전히 단기 청산이 가격을 끌어올리며 공격적인 시나리오를 기대했다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38071383/bitcoin-etfs-traded-111b-in-march-2-new-etfs-could-mean-the-action-gets-even-wilder">또 다른 Benzinger 보고서</a>에 따르면, 최근에 비트코인 ETF의 거래량이 상당하게 증가했는데, 3월에만 무려 1,110억 달러가 거래됐다. 그러나 지난주에는 비트코인 가격이 8% 급락하면서 현물 비트코인 ETF에서 8,300만 달러의 순 유출을 야기했다.
가격 움직임: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/feature/newsfeed/?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 기사 작성 당시 비트코인은 62,884.16달러로 3.7% 상승하였다.
