Shares of crypto-related companies, including MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) and Coinbase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), are trading sharply higher on Monday as Bitcoin surged past the $100,000 mark, reigniting bullish sentiment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42826154/wall-street-rallies-chipmakers-soar-ahead-of-nvidias-huang-speech-bitcoin-reclaims-100000-whats-driving-markets-monday">in the cryptocurrency market.</a>
What To Know: Bitcoin crossed the $100,000 mark for the first time,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42822776/bitcoin-jumps-past-102000-experts-see-classic-correction-eye-109000-high"> reaching a high of $102,482</a> during early trading on Monday. This 3.2% increase pushed the total cryptocurrency market capitalization above $3.5 trillion, marking its highest level since mid-December.
Analysts attribute the rise to the completion of a &#8220;classic correction,&#8221; with signs pointing to potential further gains. Market sentiment indicators, including one tracking &#8220;extreme greed,&#8221; potentially reflect strong buying interest in Bitcoin as it moves past this psychological milestone.
Ethereum also rose 3% to $3,736, while other cryptocurrencies like Solana and Avalanche gained 4% and 7%, respectively. Experts suggest Bitcoin could gain additional momentum if it breaks past $109,000, a key resistance level. 
According to Alex Kuptsikevich of FxPro, a decisive break above this threshold could confirm the resumption of a broader uptrend and accelerate Bitcoin&#8217;s growth further. For now, its recent rise underscores the continued focus on the cryptocurrency as a driver of broader market activity.
Price Action: MicroStrategy shares were up 9.79% to $372.90, Hut 8 shares were up 9.15% to $26.37 and Coinbase shares were up 6.92% to $289.37 at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<h3>Current general public health risk remains low</h3>
January 06, 2025
The Louisiana Department of Health reports the patient who had been hospitalized with the first human case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or H5N1, in Louisiana and the U.S. has died. The patient was over the age of 65 and was reported to have underlying medical conditions. The patient contracted H5N1 after exposure to a combination of a non-commercial backyard flock and wild birds.&nbsp;
LDH's extensive public health investigation has identified no additional H5N1 cases nor evidence of person-to-person transmission. This patient remains the only human case of H5N1 in Louisiana.&nbsp;
The Department expresses its deepest condolences to the patient's family and friends as they mourn the loss of their loved one. Due to patient confidentiality and respect for the family, this will be the final update about the patient.&nbsp;
While the current public health risk for the general public remains low, people who work with birds, poultry or cows, or have recreational exposure to them, are at higher risk.&nbsp;
The best way to protect yourself and your family from H5N1 is to avoid sources of exposure. That means avoiding direct contact with wild birds and other animals infected with or suspected to be infected with bird flu viruses.&nbsp;
Protecting yourself and others from H5N1 infection
<ul>
<li>Do not touch sick or dead animals or their droppings and do not bring sick wild animals into your home.</li>
<li>Keep your pets away from sick or dead animals and their feces.</li>
<li>Do not eat uncooked or undercooked food. Cook poultry, eggs and other animal products to the proper temperature and prevent cross-contamination between raw and cooked food.</li>
<li>Avoid uncooked food products such as unpasteurized raw milk or cheeses from animals that have a suspected or confirmed infection.</li>
<li>If you work on poultry or dairy farms, talk to your provider about getting your seasonal flu vaccination. It will not prevent infection with avian influenza viruses, but it can reduce the risk of coinfection with avian and flu viruses.</li>
<li>Report dead or sick birds or animals to the USDA toll-free at 1-866-536-7593 or the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Diagnostic Lab at 318-927-3441.</li>
</ul>
If you have been exposed to sick or dead birds or other animals or work on a farm where avian influenza has been detected, watch for respiratory symptoms or conjunctivitis. If you develop symptoms within 10 days after exposure to sick or dead animals, tell your healthcare provider that you have been in contact with sick animals and are concerned about avian influenza. This will help them give you appropriate advice on testing and treatment. Stay home and away from others while you have symptoms.

The 2024 National Football League regular season has come to its conclusion with 14 teams making the NFL Playoffs to compete for the chance to play in Super Bowl LIX, including the back-to-back Super Bowl <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41916428/super-bowl-lix-betting-odds-kansas-city-chiefs-favorite-to-three-peat-can-detroit-lions-spoil-the-party-make-team-history">champion Kansas City Chiefs.</a>
What Happened: The 2024 NFL season<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38414300/nfl-draft-action-tune-in-check-out-betting-odds-for-top-5-picks-and-join-benzingas-live-ev"> started in Detroit </a>when the 2024 NFL Draft set attendance records in April.
Detroit Lions fans hope that a portion of the NFL Playoffs runs through their city with the Lions winning the top seed and home-field advantage in the NFC.
The Chiefs won the top seed in the AFC and will have home-field advantage in their quest for a record-setting third straight Super Bowl.
The winners of the AFC and NFC Conference Championship games will face off in New Orleans in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9.
Here's a look at the current AFC and NFC Playoff seeds and 2024 records:
AFC
<ol>
<li>Kansas City Chiefs, 15-2</li>
<li>Buffalo Bills, 13-4</li>
<li>Baltimore Ravens, 12-3</li>
<li>Houston Texans, 10-7</li>
<li>Los Angels Chargers, 11-6</li>
<li>Pittsburgh Steelers, 10-7</li>
<li>Denver Broncos, 10-7</li>
</ol>
NFC

<li>Minnesota Vikings, 14-3</li>
<li>Washington Commanders, 12-5</li>
<li>Green Bay Packers, 11-6</li>
</ol>
For the NFL Playoffs, the winners of each division gets a top-four seed with the next three teams with the best records getting wild card spots. The division winners get home-field in the first round. The top seed overall in each conference gets a bye in the first week and home field as long as they keep winning.
The NFL reseeds after each round meaning the number one seeds will play the worst team by seed that advances to the second round.

</ul>
Paramount lands two games over the opening weekend and could be among the winners for the media partners. Amazon has its first NFL Playoffs game and could continue the debate on streaming exclusive games versus traditional broadcasts in sports.
Among the first-round games, the Chargers and Vikings are the only away teams favored at the sportsbooks.
The second-round games will be played on Jan. 18 and Jan. 19 with the media partners to be announced. The conference championship games will be played on Jan. 20 with FOX having the rights to the NFC game and CBS having the rights to the AFC game.
Super Bowl LIX will air at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 9 on FOX, with the media company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38625265/heres-how-much-a-super-bowl-lix-commercial-will-cost-how-fox-corporation-stock-could-benefi">commanding around $7 million</a> for each 30-second commercial for this year's big game.
Super Bowl Betting Odds, Records to Watch: Here are the current betting odds for the Super Bowl LIX winner and where the odds stood back in February <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37080383/three-peat-super-bowl-lix-odds-kansas-city-chiefs-back-to-back-to-back-payout">when Benzinga shared </a>the top 12 betting favorites to start the season.
<ul>
<li>Lions: +280 (+1,200)</li>
<li>Chiefs: +350 (+650)</li>
<li>Ravens: +600 (+900)</li>
<li>Bills: +650 (+1,000)</li>
<li>Eagles: +700 (+2,000)</li>

<li>Texans: +8,000 (+2,200)</li>
<li>Steelers: +9,000 (Not in Top 12)</li>
</ul>
The San Francisco 49ers were the betting favorite at +550 back in February followed closely by the Chiefs. Now the Lions and Chiefs stand ahead of the other teams for odds thanks to their top seeding and home field advantages.
A win by the Chiefs would make them the first team to win three straight Super Bowls. In fact, no NFL team has ever won two Super Bowls and then appeared in a Super Bowl the next season.
For the Lions, the team will be seeking their first ever Super Bowl appearance. The Lions are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/09/40720484/which-4-teams-have-never-reached-the-super-bowl-betting-payouts-if-history-is-made-in-2024">one of four teams</a> who have never been to a Super Bowl, a feat that the Texans could also cross off their list if they make the big game.
The Bills and Vikings could also get over the unfortunate record of going 0-4 in Super Bowls and not having a win. The Chargers have also never won a Super Bowl, losing their only appearance in the 1994 NFL season.
Another Super Bowl first to watch could be rookie quarterbacks. The 2024 NFL Draft<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o"> saw six quarterbacks </a>taken in the first round, tying an NFL record. Among them, Jayden Daniels (#2 overall, Commanders) and Bo Nix (#12 overall, Broncos) will be attempting to be the first rookie starting quarterbacks to appear in a Super Bowl.

These headlines kept newsrooms abuzz during the holiday season. Evidently, cybercrimes are here to stay and getting increasingly sophisticated to boot, thus necessitating larger investments in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybersecurity">cybersecurity</a> measures.
Here are three ETFs with exposure to cybersecurity companies for&nbsp;investors&nbsp;who don&#8217;t want to choose specific stocks, but want to reap the benefits of a hot market:
Global X Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUG#NASDAQ">BUG</a>) boasts assets of $806.52 million under management and an expense ratio of 0.50%. Its impressive portfolio of stocks includes the biggest names in the cybersecurity sector across the U.S., Israel, Japan and South Korea. 
Fortinet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>), CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), Check Point Software (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHKP#NASDAQ">CHKP</a>),  Zscalar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), and CyberArk Software (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYBR#NASDAQ">CYBR</a>) are among the top 10 holdings, with 6.92%, 6.76%, 5.85%, 5.75%, 5.68%, and 5.14% allocations, respectively. Coming to some numbers, a Return on Equity of 17.80% and a drop in the P/E ratio from 48.06 in 2023 to 33.93 in 2024 might interest investors looking to cash in on the rising trend in cybersecurity.
The "O.G." cybersecurity-focused fund, the Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HACK#NYSE">HACK</a>) was the first ETF to hop on the cybersecurity niche bandwagon. It derives its investment strategies from the Nasdaq ISE Cyber Security Select Index, and has $1.93 billion assets under management. 81.5% of the fund is dedicated to large-cap ($10 billion and more) stocks. 
Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), with its plethora of cybersecurity products, currently holds the biggest piece of the pie at almost 14%. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, and Fortinet also hold significant portions of the fund. The ETF's expense ratio is 0.60%.
iShares Cybersecurity and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHAK#NYSE">IHAK</a>) is owned by one of the largest financial institutions in the world, BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>). With an expense ratio of 0.47%, it is relatively cheaper than its peers. Though not entirely cybersecurity-focused, the fund with an AUM of $930 million, includes significant investments in security plays like CyberArk, Fortinet, CrowdStrike, Check Point and Palo Alto. The fund mirrors the NYSE FactSet Global Cyber Security Index, which is composed of cybersecurity companies. 
Why Investing in Cybersecurity is Important
The growth in the number of generative A.I. tools and platforms is opening doors for information technology reinvention. Simultaneously, cybercriminals have been adopting the same upgraded technology to up their games. 
In May, the FBI warned that attackers are now using A.I. tools to upgrade phishing methods. "As technology continues to evolve, so do cybercriminals&#8217; tactics. Attackers are leveraging AI to craft highly convincing voice or video messages and emails to enable fraud schemes against individuals and businesses alike," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Tripp.
&#8220;These sophisticated tactics can result in devastating financial losses, reputational damage, and compromise of sensitive data," read an <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/sanfrancisco/news/fbi-warns-of-increasing-threat-of-cyber-criminals-utilizing-artificial-intelligence">excerpt</a> from its note to media last May.
Moreover, Statista <a href="https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1280009/cost-cybercrime-worldwide">projects </a>that the global &#8220;Estimated Cost of Cybercrime&#8221; will rise consistently between 2024 and 2029, increasing by $6.4 trillion (69.41%) to reach a peak of $15.63 trillion by 2029.
With critical infrastructure, government data, education, and personal data caught in the crosshairs, investments in cybersecurity have become the need of the hour, bringing exponential growth potential to this market.

Bumble Shares Are On The Rise Today: What You Need To Know

POAI

Predictive Oncology shares are trading higher after the company announced it will be acquired by Renovaro.

WESCO Intl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WCC#NYSE">WCC</a>) short percent of float has risen 49.49% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.85 million shares sold short, which is 4.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.6 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>WESCO Intl Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736195422_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for WESCO Intl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing WESCO Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, WESCO Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into WESCO Intl's Recent Short Interest

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

How Is The Market Feeling About Lockheed Martin?

JP Morgan analyst David Karnovsky shared views on the impact of the Optimum-MSGN carriage battle on Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPHR#NYSE">SPHR</a>) and Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSGS#NYSE">MSGS</a>).
As per a press release dated January 1 from Optimum, a brand of Altice USA, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATUS#NYSE">ATUS</a>), the carriage agreement between Optimum and MSG Networks expired on December 31, 2024.
Altice USA said, despite weeks of negotiations, MSG Networks insisted on high programming fees and mandated that its channels be available to most video subscribers.
Altice USA said this &#8220;all or nothing&#8221; stance would have increased cable bills, forcing most customers to pay for content they don&#8217;t watch.
Optimum (likely Sphere Entertainment&#8217;s top customer) accounts for 14% of SPHR&#8217;s FY24 revenue and 27% of MSG Networks&#8217; revenue, says the analyst.
For Madison Square Garden Sports, which owns the Knicks and Rangers, Karnovsky writes that the bankruptcy for the RSN could reduce local rights fees and related cash flow.
The analyst considers it unlikely that the largest MVPD in a competitive video market would permanently forgo content from four major sports teams, but the possibility of a loss of carriage cannot be completely dismissed. The analyst highlights MSGN has long not been available on DISH, while Comcast dropped the channels in 2021.
Karnovsky estimates MSG Networks&#8217; FY25 adjusted operating income to be $113 million, but losing the Optimum carriage would erase segment profits. Even a renegotiated deal at lower rates would further pressure MSG Networks&#8217; financials.
Meanwhile, the analyst says that for Sphere Entertainment, the loss of Optimum carriage could be a net positive, potentially pushing MSG Networks toward a full default scenario and clearing over $700 million in non-recourse debt from the company&#8217;s balance sheet—boosting its valuation.
The analyst maintained an Overweight rating with a price forecast of $240 on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/msgs/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Madison Square Garden Sports</a>.
Meanwhile, Karnovsky reiterated the price forecast of $57 and an Overweight <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPHR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rating on Sphere Entertainment</a>.

Inari Medical Shares Resume Trade

Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOXL#NASDAQ">BOXL</a>) shares are moving higher on Monday along with other stocks in the technology sector amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">broader market strength</a>. 
The Details: Some of Monday&#8217;s move may be driven by Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">announcement</a> to invest approximately $80 billion in AI data center development in 2025, with a focus on training artificial intelligence models and supporting AI and cloud-based applications.
Microsoft&#8217;s increased AI investment comes after the late 2022 launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI, driving widespread adoption of AI tools. Notably, more than half of the recently announced $80 billion investment is allocated to the United States.
&#8220;We have the opportunity as a country to equip all Americans with the skills needed to use AI to pursue higher-paying jobs and more successful careers. This should be our national north star,&#8221; said&nbsp;Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft.
Microsoft&#8217;s focus on developing AI data centers and cloud applications may fuel expansion for other companies in the technology space, including Boxlight. This ongoing AI push could also boost investor confidence in technology stocks more broadly.
Boxlight shares are trading on abnormally-high volume of 192.87 million shares. The company&#8217;s average session volume over the past 100 days is about 79,000, per data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Boxlight has a total flat about of about 9.26 million shares. The company also had a market cap of less than $5 million as of Friday&#8217;s close. Low-float, micro-cap stocks can be extremely volatile, which may help explain some of Monday's massive move.
It&#8217;s also worth noting that Boxlight shares are trending across social platforms including Stocktwits. The stock has been halted for volatility multiple times during Monday&#8217;s trading session.

매치 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NYSE">MTCH</a>)이 소유한 틴더(Tinder) 및 힌지(Hinge), 범블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>), 그라인더NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRND#NYSE">GRND</a>)와 같은 주요 온라인 데이트 플랫폼들은 인공 지능(AI) 기반 윙맨 서비스로 눈을 돌리고 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 데이트 앱들은 대화 시작 요소를 생성하고, 사용자 프로필을 구축하고, 사용자 상호 작용에 대한 피드백을 제공하도록 설계된 AI 도구와 챗봇 도우미를 개발하거나 테스트하고 있다고 파이낸셜 타임스가 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/7df96597-8761-4315-8ac5-0d287c455de4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
그라이더의 챗봇 어시스턴트인 그라인더 윙맨(Grindr Wingman)은 사용자의 고유한 프로필과 채팅 기록을 기반으로 대화 프롬프트를 생성하여 사용자의 번아웃(burnout, 피로)을 완화하는 것을 목표로 한다.
그라인더의 최고 제품 책임자인 AJ 밸런스(AJ Balance)는 "AI는 사람들이 더 나은 연결을 만드는 데 도움이 될 것이다"고 말했다. 그는 AI를 가상 환경에서 누군가에게 데이트 신청을 하도록 도와주는 술집의 친구에 비유했다.

틴더는 또한 AI를 사용하여 내년 내 데이트 여정 전반에 걸쳐 사용자들을 지원할 계획을 발표했다.
이 회사는 이미 사용자 사진에서 최상의 이미지를 선택하는 AI 프로필 작성 도구의 한정판 출시를 시작했다. 범블도 비슷한 기능을 개발 중인 것으로 알려졌다.
AI &#8216;윙맨&#8217;의 이러한 도입은 온라인 데이트 플랫폼이 새로운 사용자들을 유치하기 위해 고군분투하는 가운데 이루어졌다.
지난 3월 원폴(OnePoll)의 조사에 따르면 데이트 앱 사용자의 75% 이상이 피로감(번아웃)을 경험했으며, 40%는 좋은 짝을 찾지 못하는 반복적인 실패로 인해 피로감을 느꼈다고 이 보고서가 밝혔다.

왜 중요한가요 (Why It Matters): 2분기에 범블은 총 매출이 3% 증가한 2억 6,900만 달러를 기록했다고 보고했다.
한편, 틴더와 힌지의 모회사인 매치 그룹의 2분기 실적은 전년 대비 4% 증가한 8억 6,407만 달러의 매출을 기록하며 예상치와 일치했다.
그라인더는 2024년 6월에 끝나는 분기에 8,235만 달러의 매출을 보고했다. 이 수치는 잭스(Zacks) 컨센서스 추정치를 6.39% 초과했다.
작년 12월에는 그라인더가 내부 AI 기능을 강화하고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36272032/grindr-turns-to-artificial-intelligence-to-help-users-network-and-date">사용자 경험을 개선</a>하기 위해 엑스휴먼(Ex-Human)과 파트너십을 맺었다는 사실이 밝혀졌다.
