Bitcoin&nbsp;(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has surpassed the $100,000 mark, triggering a bullish signal for altcoins, according to a crypto analytics firm. The firm has observed a notable increase in whale transactions for several altcoin projects, including the stablecoin&nbsp;Dai&nbsp;(DAI), issued by&nbsp;Maker.
What Happened: Santiment highlights that the surge in DAI transactions suggests investors might soon use these stablecoins to acquire altcoins.
Increased activity in stablecoins often signals that substantial funds are being prepared for swaps into altcoins linked to those stablecoins&#8217; trading pairs.

The analytics platform provided a&nbsp;list of altcoins with a&nbsp;market cap of at least&nbsp;$500 million experiencing the most significant rise in whale transactions this week.
These include&nbsp;MakerDAO DAI&nbsp;on BNB with an 800% increase,&nbsp;DeXe Network&nbsp;(DEXE) at 250%, and&nbsp;LayerZero CORE&nbsp;on Optimism at 200%.
Santiment also cautions that high whale activity in altcoins could lead to market volatility, as key stakeholders often make moves around profit-taking or buying dips.
Additionally,&nbsp;XRP&nbsp;has seen a surge in network activity, reaching a seven-year high of $3.39, with 2,365 transactions over $100,000 occurring in an eight-hour span.

This prediction aligns with the current market dynamics, where altcoins are gaining traction as Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance shifts.

Altcoins Flash Bullish Signal Amid Bitcoin's Surge, Says Research Firm

Michaël van de Poppe, a highly followed crypto trader, anticipates a significant bullish surge for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the near future, as the apex cryptocurrency crossed the $100,000 mark once again ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
What Happened: Van de Poppe predicted a forthcoming bullish move for Bitcoin. However, he suggests that altcoins, particularly those in the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ecosystem, will likely outperform Bitcoin.
"Very likely we&#8217;ll see a new impulse on #Bitcoin in the coming period," he said.
Factors such as lower yields, a weaker dollar, and progressive crypto regulation are propelling the market momentum, according to van de Poppe. He also notes that&nbsp;the current crypto cycle is&nbsp;more &#8220;complex&#8221; than the previous one, a trend that has been ongoing since the last cycle.

Key figures and investors in the crypto space have expressed relief at the anticipated policy change, buoyed by appointments of crypto-friendly individuals to prominent positions, including David Sacks as AI and crypto czar, and Paul Atkins as the nominee for SEC Chair.
These moves, coupled with expectations of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43035888/donald-trump-reportedly-open-to-us-crypto-reserve-as-bitcoin-reserve-chatter-gathers-steam">executive orders designed to establish a Bitcoin reserve</a>, signal a new era for the industry in the U.S.
Furthermore, leading coins remained steady on Thursday amid reports that President-elect Donald Trump may announce several pro-cryptocurrency measures after being sworn in. Bitcoin wiggled in the $100,000 region, a day after reclaiming the psychologically important level on softer inflation data.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $102,403, gaining 0.6% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Set For Major Bullish Surge, Says Popular Crypto Analyst As BTC Crosses $100,000 Ahead Of Trump Inauguration

TikTok has announced that it will cease operations in the U.S. on Sunday unless the Biden administration provides assurances to tech giants like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) 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 that they will not face legal repercussions once a ban on the app takes effect.
What Happened: TikTok&#8217;s statement was released&nbsp;hours after the Supreme Court&nbsp;upheld a law banning the app in the U.S. on national security grounds.
This decision, if enforced, would affect the platform&#8217;s 170 million American users and put the app&#8217;s future in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised to save TikTok after his inauguration on Monday.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42931704/tiktok-users-call-on-trump-to-deliver-immediately-on-his-promise-to-save-app-from-us-ban-we-dont-need-the-supreme-court-to" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok Users Call On Trump To ‘Deliver Immediately' On His ‘Promise' To Save App From US Ban: ‘We Don't Need The Supreme Court To…'</a>
"Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19," TikTok said in a statement.
The law, passed last year with bipartisan support and signed by President Biden, could result in hefty fines for companies like Apple, Google, and&nbsp;Oracle&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>)&nbsp;if they continue to provide&nbsp;services to TikTok after the&nbsp;ban takes effect.

Despite the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision, a growing number of lawmakers who initially voted for the ban are now advocating for TikTok&#8217;s continued operation in the U.S.
ByteDance, TikTok&#8217;s Chinese parent company, has made little progress in selling the app before the Sunday deadline. However, the app&#8217;s shutdown might be temporary as President Trump has indicated&nbsp;plans to take action to&nbsp;save the app.
Why It Matters: TikTok&#8217;s CEO Shou Zi Chew is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43047509/tiktok-ceo-shou-chew-to-join-trumps-inauguration-alongside-musk-bezos-and-zuckerberg-amid-looming-us-ban-report">set to attend</a> President-elect Trump's inauguration.
This comes amid the Supreme Court&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">decision to uphold the TikTok ban</a>. The ban, if enforced, could potentially free up billions in ad revenue and user engagement, with companies like Meta Platforms Inc.

TikTok Says It Will Be 'Forced To Go Dark' In US On Jan 19 After Supreme Court Upholds Ban

President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;is reportedly preparing to issue executive orders aimed at fostering a more favorable environment for cryptocurrency firms. These actions are anticipated to occur shortly after he assumes office, marking a significant shift in the regulatory landscape for digital assets.
What Happened:&nbsp; Trump intends to utilize executive powers to ease regulatory burdens on cryptocurrency companies and promote the adoption of digital assets, according to a report by Reuters.
Trump, who has openly supported cryptocurrency,&nbsp;is expected to sign an&nbsp;executive order to establish a crypto advisory council, a concept he initially proposed in July, according to two anonymous sources familiar with the discussions.
Media reports earlier Trump&#8217;s plan to create&nbsp;a crypto council, which would&nbsp;provide guidance on crypto-friendly policies.
The council may consist of up to 20 members, as per one source.
Additionally, Trump&#8217;s advisers are considering an executive order directing the&nbsp;Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;to revoke the 2022 accounting guidance &#8220;SAB 121,&#8221; which has been costly for some companies, especially banks, to hold cryptocurrencies for third parties.
Trump is also poised to terminate &#8220;Operation Choke Point 2.0,&#8221; a term used by crypto executives to describe alleged efforts by bank regulators to exclude crypto companies from traditional financial systems. Bank regulators have denied such claims.
If executed, these policy directives could significantly advance cryptocurrency into the mainstream, contrasting with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&#8216;s administration&#8217;s strict regulatory stance.
Why It Matters: The potential executive orders align with Trump&#8217;s broader strategy to prioritize cryptocurrency as a national focus. Trump plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43047039/trump-planning-to-declare-cryptocurrency-as-national-priority-increase-engagement-with-industry-report">declare cryptocurrency a national priority</a>, encouraging government agencies to engage with the growing industry.
This comes as Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) market valuation recently surpassed $2 trillion, highlighting the sector&#8217;s increasing significance.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43062997/exclusive-how-donald-trumps-crypto-plans-will-bitcoin-xrp-solana">cryptocurrency experts</a>&nbsp;are divided on the likelihood of immediate executive orders but remain optimistic about the market&#8217;s near-term outlook.
The potential for Trump to mention cryptocurrency during his inauguration speech is also being speculated, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43065423/donald-trump-to-mention-bitcoin-or-crypto-at-the-inauguration-polymarket-traders-say-theres-a-chance">Polymarket traders</a>&nbsp;giving it a 31% chance of happening.

Trump Plans Crypto-Friendly Executive Orders In Early Days Of Presidency: Report

Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;has publicly praised former&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc&#8216;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) COO&nbsp;Sheryl Sandberg&nbsp;despite reports suggesting he held her responsible for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42931941/mark-zuckerberg-critiques-culturally-neutered-companies-advocates-for-masculine-energy-as-meta-cuts-dei-programs-post-joe-rogan-ap">company&#8217;s diversity, equity, and inclusion</a> (DEI) program.
What Happened: Zuckerberg took to&nbsp;Threads&nbsp;on Friday to commend Sandberg for her contributions to Meta. This comes after a recent report indicated that Zuckerberg had pointed fingers at Sandberg for the shortcomings of Meta&#8217;s DEI initiatives.
&#8220;Sheryl&nbsp;did amazing work at Meta&nbsp;and will forever be a&nbsp;legend in the industry. She&nbsp;built one of the greatest&nbsp;businesses of all time and taught me much of what&nbsp;I know,&#8221; Zuckerberg wrote in his post.

Sandberg, in turn, responded to Zuckerberg&#8217;s post, expressing her gratitude for their years of collaboration and his friendship.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/18013610/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-12.06.05%E2%80%AFPM-1024x231.png" alt="" class="wp-image-740192" /></figure>
Why It Matters: Meta recently announced the rollback of its DEI programs, a move that coincided with a meeting between Zuckerberg and Stephen Miller, an advisor to President-elect Donald Trump.
Zuckerberg is making efforts to mend fences with Trump, as evidenced by their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42935628/mark-zuckerberg-meets-donald-trump-at-mar-a-lago-mending-fences-ahead-of-gop-white-house-return">meeting at Mar-a-Lago</a> earlier this month. This meeting, the second since the 2024 election, suggests a potential shift in the relationship between Meta and the incoming GOP administration.
Zuckerberg&#8217;s public support for Sandberg comes amid a series of significant changes at Meta. The company recently announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42851889/meta-ditches-fact-checking-for-community-notes-zuckerberg-says-opportunity-to-restore-free-expression">end of its third-party fact-checking</a> in favor of a community notes system.
This move was seen as a step towards restoring free expression on the platform, a direction that aligns with Trump&#8217;s stance on social media moderation.

Mark Zuckerberg Lauds Sheryl Sandberg Amid Blame For Meta's DEI Program: 'She Did Amazing Work'

Digital Currency Group (DCG), a prominent player in the cryptocurrency industry, on Friday agreed to settle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for misleading investors.
What Happened: DCG, founded by&nbsp;Barry Silbert, and its former executive,&nbsp;Soichiro &#8220;Michael&#8221; Moro, will collectively pay $38.5 million to the SEC. This settlement is to resolve charges of providing false information about the financial state of Genesis Global Capital, a crypto lending unit once under DCG.
The SEC&nbsp;found that DCG and Moro&nbsp;misrepresented Genesis&#8217;s financial condition during a period of instability caused by the collapse of FTX in 2022. This included downplaying the impact of a major Genesis borrower&#8217;s default on the company&#8217;s business.

The SEC noted that DCG and Moro agreed to pay the penalties without admitting or denying the allegations of violating the Securities Act of 1933. This settlement comes after a separate agreement in May 2024, in which New York Attorney General Letitia James reached a $2 billion settlement with Genesis to compensate defrauded investors.
Why It Matters: The cryptocurrency industry has been under increased scrutiny from regulatory bodies. This settlement comes in the wake of similar actions taken against other financial firms.
Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42971991/robinhood-agrees-to-45-million-sec-settlement-over-past-violations">Robinhood agreed to pay $45 million to the SEC</a>&nbsp;for a series of regulatory violations. The charges were related to failures in trading activity reporting, cybersecurity practices, recordkeeping, and customer communication.
Additionally, a group of financial firms, including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42966800/blackstone-kkr-among-12-firms-to-pay-63-million-to-sec-after-recordkeeping-violations">Blackstone and KKR, settled with the SEC for $63.1 million</a>&nbsp;over recordkeeping violations. These firms were accused of using unauthorized communication methods to exchange messages that were required to be preserved under securities laws.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43009858/elon-musk-slams-sec-as-totally-broken-organization">Elon Musk criticized the SEC</a>&nbsp;for focusing on trivial cases and ignoring more significant crimes. This came after the SEC sued Musk for allegedly failing to disclose a substantial stake in X (formerly known as Twitter) before his acquisition of the platform.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was exchanging hands at&nbsp;$103,660.11, up 2% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Crypto Firm DCG Settles With SEC For $38.5M Over Misleading Investors

Janet Yellen, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, on Friday cautioned&nbsp;that the government will reach&nbsp;its borrowing limit on Tuesday, necessitating the use of &#8220;extraordinary measures&#8221; to prevent a potential default.
What Happened: Yellen revealed that the Treasury will commence the use of extraordinary measures starting January 21. The duration of these measures is uncertain, and Yellen has&nbsp;urged Congress to raise or&nbsp;suspend the debt limit to safeguard the nation&#8217;s credit, Reuters reported. 
&#8220;The period of time that extraordinary measures may last is subject to considerable uncertainty, including the challenges of forecasting the payments and receipts of the U.S. Government months into the future.&#8221;

Yellen announced the suspension of investments in two government employee benefit funds until March 14, aiming to restore borrowing capacity under the $36.1 trillion debt ceiling. As of last Thursday, the Treasury's borrowings had reached $36.08 trillion.
This suspension will affect new investments that are not immediately required to pay benefits from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund. Once the debt ceiling is either raised or suspended, these funds will need to be replenished.
Yellen has urged Congress to raise or suspend the debt limit to maintain the full faith and credit of the U.S. This issue with the debt ceiling presents an early challenge for Yellen&#8217;s anticipated successor, Scott Bessent, who is nominated by Trump for the Treasury position.
The Treasury has a range of extraordinary balance sheet measures available to prevent default, which could last for several months depending on tax revenues. However, failing to raise, suspend, or eliminate the debt limit could prevent the Treasury from meeting all its obligations, leading to potentially severe economic consequences.
Why It Matters: This announcement comes at a time when Yellen&#8217;s tenure has been marked by significant challenges. Earlier this month, it was reported that Yellen&#8217;s computer was hacked by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43048422/janet-yellens-computer-hacked-by-chinese-hackers-attackers-obtain-law-enforcement-sensitive-data-by-targeting-us-treasury-department">Chinese state-sponsored hackers</a>, who accessed &#8220;Law Enforcement Sensitive&#8221; data by targeting the U.S. Treasury Department.
Yellen&#8217;s short-term debt strategy has also been a topic of concern, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42808340/janet-yellens-short-term-debt-strategy-sparks-warnings-for-trump-administration-your-costs-explode-and-buyers-could-balk-says-expert">with experts warning </a>that it could lead to significant market turbulence as President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;prepares to take office. This strategy, which involves rolling over short-term debt instead of issuing longer-dated bonds, has been criticized for potentially setting up a crisis for the incoming administration.
Meanwhile, in December, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) experienced record outflows of $5.5 billion, as 30-year Treasury yields climbed 40 basis points to 4.855%, marking their highest level in more than a year.

Janet Yellen Warns US Could Hit Debt Ceiling On Tuesday, Suspends Investments In 2 Government Employee Benefit Funds

Earlier this week, Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook shared a personal story about how the Apple Watch saved his father&#8217;s life. 
What Happened: In a podcast&nbsp;<a href="https://shows.acast.com/tablemanners/episodes/tim-cook">interview</a> with Table Manners with&nbsp;Jessie and Lennie Ware, Cook on Wednesday shared various aspects of his personal life, including his humble beginnings and daily routine.
Among the shared anecdotes, Cook narrated an incident involving his father. Cook&#8217;s father, who was living alone, fell in his house. The Apple Watch, equipped with a fall detection feature, sent a notification to emergency services and Cook&#8217;s family. When the emergency services arrived, they found Cook&#8217;s father unconscious and had to break down the door to reach him.

When asked if his father was proud of him for working at Apple, Cook humorously replied, &#8220;No,&nbsp;he was focused on the&nbsp;door, to be honest. He&nbsp;was more upset, they kicked&nbsp;out my door!&#8221;
Alongside this personal story, Cook also shared insights into his daily routine, which includes starting his day before 5 AM, working four days a week at Apple Park, and his love for Chardonnay, dark chocolate, and hiking.

Why It Matters: This is not the first time the Apple Watch has been credited with saving lives. In 2024, a&nbsp;story&nbsp;emerged about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40742928/apple-watch-saves-life-of-pregnant-woman-and-her-baby-that-information-is-like-gold">Apple Watch saving the life of a pregnant </a>woman and her unborn child. The watch&#8217;s heart monitoring, fall detection, and other medical-related features have proven beneficial for many consumers globally. 
In another instance, the Apple Watch&#8217;s crash detection feature helped save a user&#8217;s life after they were involved in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34760115/never-thought-i-would-ever-need-that-feature-apple-watch-saves-life-in-a-highway-car-crash">highway car crash</a>. The user&#8217;s emergency contact was alerted, and emergency services were informed to rescue them.
In the interview, Cook shared that he begins his day before 5:00 AM, using the quiet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36445675/tim-cook-surprises-apple-watch-users-with-personal-responses-to-life-saving-stories">early hours to answer emails,</a> which he considers the most manageable part of his day. &#8220;I&#8217;m doing emails and generally what I&#8217;m focused on in the morning is responding to employees and customers. Yeah, I would. And so I get an extraordinary amount of outreach from customers and they&#8217;re telling me things that are critical in their lives. Maybe they&#8217;re telling me a story of how the Apple Watch saved their life,&#8221; he said.

Tim Cook Reveals Apple Watch Saved His Father's Life By Alerting Emergency Services, But His Father 'More Upset' Because Of This

The&nbsp;U.S. Federal Aviation Administration&nbsp;(FAA) and authorities&nbsp;from the Turks and Caicos&nbsp;Islands have initiated investigations into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43046722/starship-explodes-during-flight-test-elon-musk-says-success-is-uncertain-but-entertainment-is-guaranteed">the recent explosion </a>of&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s&nbsp;Starship rocket.
What Happened: A prototype of SpaceX&#8217;s Starship suffered a mid-flight explosion over the Bahamas, just eight minutes into its seventh test launch from Texas. The incident scattered debris across the northern Caribbean.
The FAA, which oversees private rocket launches, stated, &#8220;There are no reports of public injury, and the FAA is working with SpaceX and appropriate authorities to confirm reports of public property damage on Turks and Caicos.&#8221;

Residents of&nbsp;the South and North Caicos&nbsp;islands experienced intense ground vibrations and discovered burnt fragments of what they suspected to be Starship debris. &#8220;My&nbsp;mirror and the walls were&nbsp;shaking,&#8221; shared Veuleiri Artiles, a resident of South Caicos. Ibalor Calucin, a resident of Providenciales island, compared the experience to an &#8220;earthquake,&#8221; reported Reuters.
The Starship rocket had been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43020027/starships-7th-test-flight-postponed-to-thursday-owing-to-unfavorable-weather-says-spacex">outfitted with advanced onboard features</a> and was carrying its first set of mock satellites. Launched from Boca Chica, Texas, the mission aimed for a suborbital trajectory around Earth. However, communication was lost shortly after its separation from the Super Heavy booster, ultimately resulting in its destruction.
&#8220;Initial data indicates a fire developed in the aft section of the ship, leading to a rapid unscheduled disassembly,&#8221; SpaceX stated on its website.
SpaceX CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;shared a video of rocket parts raining down from the sky, stating that &#8220;success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed.&#8221;&nbsp;
Why It Matters: The explosion scattered debris over the northern Caribbean, leading to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/43049377/spacex-starship-mishap-diverts-dozens-of-flights-as-faa-warns-of-falling-debris">diversion of dozens of flights</a>. American Airlines Group Inc. reported fewer than 10 flight diversions, while a JetBlue Airways Corp. flight from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan had to return to its origin. FedEx Corp. cargo operations also experienced route adjustments.
Meanwhile, SpaceX&#8217;s competitor,&nbsp;Blue Origin, achieved a significant milestone when its New Glenn launch vehicle reached <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/43023657/jeff-bezos-blue-origins-new-glenn-reaches-orbit-on-first-try-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-applauds-rivals-achievement">space and its intended orbit </a>during its inaugural launch. This achievement solidified Blue Origin&#8217;s position as a competitor to SpaceX in the satellite launch business.

US Regulator Probes Elon Musk's SpaceX Mid-Flight Explosion That Felt Like An 'Earthquake' For Turks And Caicos Residents

Mark Cuban is leaving no room for doubt when it comes to Kevin O'Leary's plan to buy TikTok's U.S. operations. The billionaire investor and &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1879028970726826132">took to X</a> to critique the bid, calling it a long shot and warning O'Leary about the risks involved. Cuban's message to him is to think twice before diving into this deal, especially without a clear path to success.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">O'Leary and McCourt Make Their Move</h2>
Frank McCourt, the former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has teamed up with Kevin O'Leary to buy TikTok from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42834240/kevin-oleary-joins-the-peoples-bid-for-tiktok-as-pending-ban-looms">Dubbed The People's Bid for TikTok,</a> their proposal aims to acquire TikTok's U.S. assets, rebuild the app with American-designed technology and ensure user privacy.

</ul>
The bid comes at a critical time. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42919029/supreme-court-hears-tiktok-oral-arguments">The Supreme Court is set to review</a> a U.S. law that could ban TikTok starting Jan. 19, 2025, unless it's sold.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cuban's Concerns</h2>
Mark Cuban doesn't see O'Leary's plan working out. In his X thread, Cuban predicted that O'Leary would tell ByteDance and its bankers to accept the deal as a way to avoid TikTok being shut down in the U.S. However, Cuban doubts the viability of such a move, highlighting several major obstacles:
<ul>
<li>Ad revenue isn't what it used to be: Cuban argued that O'Leary's plan to rely on advertising revenue to sustain TikTok's U.S. operations isn't realistic in today's market.</li>
<li>User retention will be tough: Keeping users engaged without the original TikTok algorithm will be a significant challenge, especially with other platforms eager to poach its audience.</li>
<li>ByteDance likely won't sell: Cuban doubts ByteDance would agree to sell TikTok, calling it a $300 billion asset that wouldn't be off-loaded for a fraction of its value.</li>
<li>Competitors are ready to pounce: With every major platform eyeing TikTok's users, rebuilding from scratch will be an uphill battle.</li>

Cuban ended his thread with a stark warning: "When you sit at the negotiating table, you always look for the sucker. If you don't see one …"
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Risky Plan to Rebuild TikTok</h2>
O'Leary and McCourt insist they don't need the original TikTok algorithm to succeed. They've proposed creating a new algorithm to power the platform, with backing from Guggenheim Securities and prominent technologists like Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web.

Mark Cuban Warns Kevin O'Leary About TikTok Purchase: If You Can't See The Sucker At The Negotiation Table, It's You

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) reportedly stands to gain significantly if TikTok, a popular social media platform, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43070367/kevin-oleary-warns-that-shutting-down-tiktok-would-hurt-6-million-small-businesses-in-america-that-rely-on-it-to-make-a-living">banned from U.S. app stores</a> this Sunday.
 What Happened: TikTok&#8217;s legal team warned that the app could &#8220;go dark,&#8221; cutting off access for existing users to view videos. Such a ban would significantly affect one of the largest social media platforms in the U.S., potentially freeing up billions in ad revenue and user engagement, according to an analysis by eMarketer on Friday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-us-ban-how-meta-benefits-google-instagram-youtube-ad-2025-1">reported</a>&nbsp;Business Insider.
According to the analysis, TikTok raked in $12.34 billion in U.S. ad revenue in 2024. If the app faces a ban, an estimated $6.17 billion to $8.64 billion in ad spending could be redirected. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, stands to capture a significant share, potentially gaining between $2.46 billion and $3.38 billion in ad revenue.

Morgan Stanley analysts also predict that Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s company would emerge as the &#8220;largest fundamental winner of any TikTok ban,&#8221; leveraging its extensive user base and robust data capabilities. They estimate such a ban could boost Meta&#8217;s earnings per share by 5% to 9% in the 2026 fiscal year.
Instagram is projected to absorb a significant portion of the time U.S. users currently spend on TikTok. In 2024, TikTok users in the U.S. averaged nearly an hour daily on the app, with almost 75% also active on Instagram, according to EMARKETER.
While Meta is poised to gain the most, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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&#8217;s YouTube and Snap Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat could also benefit from TikTok&#8217;s absence.
Why It Matters: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a ruling on Friday that TikTok would be banned&nbsp;</a>in the country unless the parent company&nbsp;ByteDance&nbsp;sold off the American portion of the business. This decision is based on &#8220;well-supported national security concerns&#8221; regarding TikTok&#8217;s data collection practices and its relationship with a foreign adversary,
Ross Gerber, CEO of&nbsp;Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43050469/tesla-bull-ross-gerber-demands-tiktok-ban-calling-it-a-national-security-risk-amid-reports-that-elon-musk-may-buy-it">demanded a ban on TikTok</a>, calling it a &#8220;national security risk&#8221; amid reports that&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;may buy it.
Despite the uncertainty, the looming ban has already had an impact. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43049496/as-tiktok-faces-us-ban-vpn-searches-skyrocket-800-will-workarounds-work-experts-weigh-in">VPN searches have skyrocketed by 800%</a> as users seek workarounds, and TikTok has announced plans to cease operations in the U.S., although users can still download their personal data.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 40, recently appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, casually wearing a $900,000 F.P. Journe FFC watch mere weeks after being spotted with a $1.2 million Patek Philippe Grand Complications in an Instagram video.&nbsp;

The F.P. Journe FFC watch is a masterpiece of engineering and storytelling. Its unique design features a titanium hand in an armored glove, displaying the hours through intricate finger movements – a concept inspired by 16th-century prosthetics.&nbsp;
This idea came from a conversation in 2012 between Coppola and the watchmaker François-Paul Journe. Coppola asked if a watch could tell time using the old finger-counting method. From there, the watchmaker created this amazing piece with a titanium hand shaped like an armored glove moving its fingers to show the time.

The prototype of this watch sold for a staggering CHF 4.5 million at a 2021 charity auction, further solidifying its status as a collector's dream. Like the one Zuckerberg wore, the production version is limited to only 15 watches made each year, making them super rare and highly sought after.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zuckerberg's Watch Collection Expands</h2>
This F.P. Journe FFC isn't Zuckerberg's first venture into the world of luxury watches. In fact, the F.P. Journe FFC is just one of the many luxury watches Zuckerberg owns. Recently, he's been seen with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42689559/mark-zuckerberg-talks-non-profit-achievements-while-displaying-a-1-2-million-patek-philippe-watch">$1.2 million Patek Philippe Grand Complications</a>, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40969847/mark-zuckerberg-flaunts-watches-valued-at-a-cybertrucks-price">$141,000 Patek Philippe 5236P and a $100,000 De Bethune DB 25 Starry Varius</a>.&nbsp;
For someone who often wears plain T-shirts, hoodies and jeans, these fancy watches show a whole new side of him. This shift in style is part of Zuckerberg's effort to change how people see him.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lifestyle Upgrade</h2>
Zuckerberg's personal transformation has been hard to miss in the past year. He's traded his casual wardrobe for tailored designer suits, accessorized with gold chains and adopted longer, styled hair – a look that media outlets have dubbed "Mark Zuckerberg 3.0." This elevated style is part of a broader lifestyle overhaul that aligns with his evolving public persona.

Zuckerberg's taste for the finer things extends far beyond watches. For his 40th birthday, the Meta CEO reportedly spent $450 million on luxury acquisitions.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42947081/a-salary-is-the-drug-they-give-you-to-forget-your-dreams-says-kevin-oleary-encourages-people-to-embrace-the-fear-of-failure">Kevin O'Leary</a>, the investor famously known from Shark Tank, has once again stepped into the heated debate about TikTok's future in the United States. Alongside billionaire entrepreneur Frank McCourt, O'Leary is pushing a bold plan to save the platform from a potential nationwide ban, which he says would be devastating for small businesses nationwide.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why TikTok Matters to Small Businesses</h2>
TikTok is a key tool for the success of many small businesses in America. Kevin O'Leary says six million businesses use the app to sell products, find customers and make money. If TikTok is shut down, it would cause big problems for these businesses.

</ul>
"I don&#8217;t want it shut down. It&#8217;s not good for my businesses, it&#8217;s not good for six million other small businesses in America that make a living off it," O'Leary said in a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s94nz8JY-U">interview</a>. "We just need to take out the onerous piece – the spyware – that&#8217;s what Congress is upset about."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Spyware Problem</h2>
TikTok&#8217;s controversy stems from its parent company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42069805/bytedance-valuation-soars-to-300b-despite-threat-of-us-tiktok-ban">ByteDance, a Chinese tech giant</a>. U.S. lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns about the app's data security and potential ties to the Chinese government. The fear is that TikTok's algorithm could serve as a tool for surveillance or propaganda.
O'Leary and McCourt's solution? Buy TikTok's U.S. operations outright. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42834240/kevin-oleary-joins-the-peoples-bid-for-tiktok-as-pending-ban-looms">Their proposal</a> involves acquiring the app without its famous algorithm – the technology that powers TikTok's addictive "For You" feed. "We don&#8217;t want to buy the algorithm, we can&#8217;t use it. That&#8217;s spyware," O'Leary explained. "We&#8217;re going to rebuild the product and make it much better."
See Also: With 100+ historic trademark victories, this company holds IP for some of the highest-grossing characters in history. Now, they've propelled these icons into the future using next-gen patented AR, VR, and AI technology. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">There&#8217;s now a limited window for investors to claim shares at just $2/share with $980 minimum—but the clock is ticking.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Race Against Time</h2>
The urgency behind O'Leary's bid is tied to a looming deadline. A law passed earlier this year could result in TikTok being banned in the United States starting Jan. 19, 2025, unless the app is sold. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42680367/tiktok-on-trial-supreme-court-prepares-to-weigh-national-security-risks">The Supreme Court is deciding</a> whether this law will go into effect and O'Leary and McCourt are pushing to get their offer accepted before it's too late.
Critics have questioned whether TikTok can remain popular without its algorithm, which is central to its success. The algorithm is the magic behind the content recommendations that keep users hooked. But O'Leary insists that the platform's success doesn't hinge on the existing technology.
Trending: Built on the trusted network of Fortune 500 companies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/web3-enabler-the-most-boring-blockchain-company-partners-with-salesforce">this blockchain company partners with Salesforce to uproot lengthy and expensive B2B transactions, and you can invest with just $100.</a>
O'Leary and McCourt's group, called The People's Bid for TikTok, has support from investors and tech experts, including Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web. They've also talked to lawmakers and plan to work with President-elect Donald Trump to close the deal.
McCourt emphasized the importance of keeping TikTok running for its millions of users. "By keeping the platform alive without relying on the current TikTok algorithm and avoiding a ban, millions of Americans can continue to enjoy the platform," he said. "We look forward to working with ByteDance, President-elect Trump and the incoming administration to get this deal done."
Even though ByteDance has repeatedly stated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42994923/mrbeast-discussing-buying-tiktok-with-billionaires-to-prevent-us-shutdown-lets-see-if-we-can-pull-this-off">TikTok is not for sale</a>, O&#8217;Leary and McCourt are committed to finding a solution.

S&amp;P 다우존스 지수는 금요일 늦게 분기별 재조정에 맞춰 다양한 S&amp;P 지수에 대한 변경 사항을 발표했다. 유명한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500-index">S&amp;P 500 지수</a>에 추가된 기업들 중 주목할만한 것은 사이버 보안 회사인 크라우드스트라이크(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 크라우드스트라이크는 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 로버트 하프(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHI#NYSE">RHI</a>)를 대체하고, 투자 관리 회사인 KKR &amp; Co Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>)와 고대디(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDDY#NYSE">GDDY</a>)는 이 더 넓은 범위 지수에서 각각 코메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)와 일루미나(NASD:ILMN)를 대신하게 된다.
이 변경 사항은 월요일 거래 개시 전에 적용될 예정이다. S&amp;P 다우존스는 이러한 변화로 인해 각 지수가 시가총액 범위를 더 잘 대표할 수 있게 되었다고 말했다.
일루미나는 고대디(GoDaddy)를 대신하여 S&amp;P MidCap 400 지수로 강등되며, 로버트 하프와 코메리카는 S&amp;P SmallCap 600 지수에서 애니웨어 리얼 에스테이트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOUS#NYSE">HOUS</a>)와 애드트랜 홀딩스(NASD:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/adtn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ADTN</a>)를 대체한다. 유전자 시퀀싱 회사인 일루미나(Illumina)는 6월 24일 암 혈액 검사 제조부문인 그레일(Grail)을 분사할 계획을 발표했다.
S&amp;P 다우존스는 또한 S&amp;P MidCap 400 및 S&amp;P 600 SmallCap 지수에 대한 다수의 변경 사항을 발표했다.
S&amp;P 500 목록에서 제외된 기업 중에서 주목할 만한 기업으로는 AI 기반 데이터 분석 기업인 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)와 컴퓨터 및 주변기기 제조업체인 델 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>)가 있다. 덧붙여서, 팔란티어의 투자자들은 3월 초에 있었던 분기별 재조정 당시 S&amp;P 500에 편입될 것으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37440459/palantir-misses-out-super-micro-computer-makes-the-cut-what-investors-should-know-about-s-p-500-">예상</a>했었다.
또한 보기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">최고의 테크 기업 주식</a>
왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): S&amp;P 500 지수는 미국 대형주 주식에 대한 최고의 단일 지표로 간주되며 500개의 주요 기업을 포함하며 가용 시가총액의 약 80%를 차지한다. 시가총액 가중 지수인 이 S&amp;P 500은 분기별로 재조정되며 일반적으로 3월, 6월, 9월, 12월 세 번째 금요일에 이루어진다.
이 재조정 과정에서 기업들은 일반적으로 가장 최근의 주식 수와 구성 회사의 유동 주식에 따라 제거되거나 추가된다. 이에 따라 그들이 지수에서 차지하는 비중도 조정된다.
S&amp;P 500 지수 선발 기준은 다음과 같다. 1) 시가 총액이 158억 달러 이상, 2) 유동 주식수 조정 시가총액으로 거래되는 연간 달러 가치가 0.75 이상, 3) NYSE 또는 나스닥에 상장되어 있으며, 4) 미국에 주 상장이 되어 있는 기업이다. 이 외에도 종목 거래량의 기준도 있다.
지수 편입은 일반적으로 주식에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 지수를 반영하는 포트폴리오를 보유하는 펀드들이 해당 구성 종목의 가중치를 유지하기 위해 해당 종목을 매수하기 때문이다. 또한 인덱스(지수) 펀드와 ETF를 통한 구매로 인한 거래량과 유동성이 증가하는 효과도 본다.
<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 이번 발표 이후 크라우드스트라이크는 금요일 시간외 거래에서 5.35% 상승한 367.80달러를 기록했다. KKR은 7.72% 상승했고, 고대디는 3.72% 상승했다.
