Renowned investor Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest believes President Donald Trump&#8217;s second administration could breathe new life into the struggling initial public offering landscape, potentially creating significant opportunities for investors and venture funds.
What Happened: In a recent Bloomberg ETF IQ interview, Wood highlighted the potential for regulatory changes that could dramatically transform public markets. &#8220;I hope regulatory changes will revive the public markets,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-01-22/cathie-wood-on-ark-etfs-ipos-m-a-tiktok-video">stated</a>, noting that the number of publicly traded companies has halved over the last two decades.
Wood&#8217;s ARK Investment Management sees particular promise in innovation-driven sectors, especially healthcare and artificial intelligence. 
She specifically pointed to her ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>) as an underestimated investment, anticipating substantial changes in biotech and pharmaceutical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42206182/cathie-wood-sees-400b-opportunity-in-biologics-how-have-her-bets-fared">markets where $400 billion</a> in revenue is set to go off-patent within five years.

Why It Matters: The investor expressed optimism about potential liquidity events that have been constrained during the previous administration. &#8220;We believe the IPO market will open up and give us opportunities to diversify our portfolios,&#8221; Wood said.
Specific sectors Wood highlighted include autonomous technology, with robotaxis representing a significant AI application, and healthcare transformation. She emphasized the potential for technological innovation, particularly in multi-omics and genomics spaces.
The potential market shifts come amid broader economic discussions. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has warned about possible economic disruptions from proposed policies, suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42183404/cathie-wood-bets-on-thriving-ipo-market-under-trump-will-giveliquidity-events-that-they-have-not-enjoyed-during-the-last-four-years">significant macroeconomic implications</a> could accompany potential market changes.

Cryptocurrency index fund manager Bitwise Asset Management filed for a Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) exchange-traded fund on Wednesday, prompting analysts to forecast big returns for the dog-themed meme coin.
What happened: Bitwise submitted the ETF <a href="https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/eCorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx?_=1737585406503">filing </a>to Delaware's Department of State's Division of Corporations. The filing was made under the entity name BITWISE DOGECOIN ETF, with CSC Delaware Trust Company listed as the registered agent.
While Bitwise didn't immediately return Benzinga's request to confirm the filing, leading ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on X that the filing was legitimate.

The Delaware registration is typically the first step in the ETF listing process and still requires an official filing with the SEC.&nbsp;
Similar listings were seen previously for iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHA#NASDAQ">ETHA</a>), and even the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41134111/after-bitcoin-ethereum-an-xrp-etf-bitwise-registers-filing-in-delaware-amid-rippe-vs-sec-l">XRP ETF</a> filed by Bitwise last year.
Following the filing, Ali Martinez, a well-known cryptocurrency analyst and trader, issued a massively bullish price target of $15 for Dogecoin. At the current price, this pointed to a staggering upside of 4140.88%

Why It Matters: Bitwise&#8217;s registration comes after REXShares and Osprey filed numerous ETF applications with the SEC earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43105356/meme-coin-supercycle-dogecoin-trump-bonk-futures-etf-applications-filed">including one</a> for Dogecoin.
These filings were factored into prediction markets, as the odds of a Dogecoin ETF being approved in 2025 <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/doge-etf-approved-in-2025">increased </a>from 36% to 53% on Polymarket before stabilizing at 48% as of this writing.
Meanwhile, the iconic Shiba Inu imagery, a symbol closely tied to Dogecoin's popularity, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43140690/dogecoin-drops-6-after-doge-department-removes-logo">was removed</a> from the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency&#8217;s website.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.3535, down 3.07% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bets Favoring Dogecoin ETF Approval In 2025 Jump After Bitwise's Delaware Filing—Top Trader Paints Over 4000% Upside For Memecoin

Elon Musk&#8216;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX intends to put up a SpaceX Gigabay at Cape Canaveral in Florida by Aug. 2026, according to a new filing with the Federal Aviation Administration. 
What Happened: According to the filing, construction is planned to start in April this year and the vertical integration facility will be 380 feet tall and expected to handle the assembly and integration of SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle.
All development and manufacturing of the Starship currently takes place at Starbase in Texas. All of the Starship's past test flights were launched from the commercial spaceport in Cameron County near the Gulf of Mexico.
However, in May, Musk took to social media and said the company aims to build two Starship towers at Cape Canaveral in Florida, hinting at plans to launch Starships from the state. While one of the two towers is expected to be at Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A, the location for the second is still under consideration, the CEO said.
"We&#8217;re aiming to build two towers at the Cape for Starship, one at 39A and another tbd (we don&#8217;t have final approval yet)," Musk wrote.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Starship vehicle is part of big dreams. While NASA is looking forward to landing humans back on the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">custom version of Starship</a>, Musk is dreaming of taking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humans to the planet Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard Starship.
&#8220;…I would not be surprised if we fly 400 Starship launches in the next four years," SpaceX President and COO&nbsp;Gwynne Shotwell&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42105704/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-reveals-technical-glitch-that-led-company-to-drop-key-objective-of-starships-6th-test-flight" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said at the Baron Investment Conference</a>&nbsp;in New York in November.
Starship is currently in the testing and development phase. The company has conducted seven test flights of the vehicle thus far starting in April 2023. The last flight test took place earlier this month.

Billionaire Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency has set its sights on an unexpected target: the U.S. penny, highlighting the coin&#8217;s staggering production costs that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43095721/dogecoin-up-2-after-logo-appears-on-doge-department-site">exceed its face value</a>.
What Happened: In a recent X post, DOGE revealed that pennies cost over 3 cents to manufacture, resulting in $179 million in taxpayer expenses during fiscal year 2023. The U.S. Mint produced 4.5 billion pennies last year, representing approximately 40% of total coin circulation.
Current production costs render each penny economically inefficient. The coin&#8217;s composition — 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper plating — costs more to create than its one-cent value. The U.S. Mint&#8217;s latest reports confirm the penny&#8217;s production expense at 3.07 cents per coin.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s critique arrives amid growing debates about the penny&#8217;s relevance. Economic experts have long argued that maintaining low-denomination coins creates unnecessary financial burden. Several allied nations, including Canada and the United Kingdom, have already eliminated similar low-value coins.
The penny&#8217;s production involves a complex six-step process across four U.S. Mint facilities, with parts and labor accounting for 88% of manufacturing costs. Technological advancements and potential composition changes could offer future cost-reduction strategies.

Elon Musk&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43150976/dan-ives-raises-tesla-price-target-to-550-sees-golden-era-for-elon-musk-under-trump-sees-bull-case-upside-of-over-56-if-optimus-robot-counted-in-valuation">Tesla Inc</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could deliver a &#8220;choppy&#8221; first half given headwinds from Donald Trump&#8216;s new electric vehicle policies, uncertainties in deliveries, and automotive gross margin. However, this Piper Sandler analyst describes the EV maker as its number one &#8220;buy-and-hold idea&#8221;.
The Piper Sandler Analyst: Alexander Potter maintained his ‘overweight' rating and raised its target price to $500 from $315 apiece, representing a 20.45% increase from its current price level of $415.11, as of Wednesday&#8217;s close.
The Analyst Takeaways: According to the Piper Sandler note, Tesla&#8217;s success in the near future depends on two key things:
<ul>
<li>How many cars they sell: Tesla plans to release new vehicles soon, but the exact timing is uncertain. This makes it hard to predict how many cars they will sell in 2025, says the note. While there&#8217;s a chance they might sell fewer cars than expected, it&#8217;s unlikely to see clear evidence of this until the upcoming earnings call on Jan. 29.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How much profit they make on each car: Piper Sandler is more optimistic about Tesla&#8217;s profit margins. As long as they continue to release new products as planned, they expect their profitability to remain strong.</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
Also, the note adds that Tesla&#8217;s future success hinges on emerging technologies like Optimus robots and AI-powered services. Since valuing these uncertain revenue streams is challenging, Piper Sandler has adopted a price-to-earnings approach over a discounted cash flow approach, which measures a stock&#8217;s intrinsic value in a constant growth environment.
Piper Sandler&#8217;s $500 price target assumes a P/E of 120 for 2026 earnings.
The note added that over the next year, the analyst expects investors to gain a clearer understanding of Tesla&#8217;s new product rollout.
Why It Matters: Apart from the factors mentioned in the research note, President Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43147598/ev-stocks-are-falling-today-whats-going-on">revocation</a> of Joe Biden&#8216;s EV targets, freezing the EV infrastructure funding, and proposals of repealing tax credits, could raise concerns.

Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock fell by 0.32% in after-hours trading on Wednesday. Over the past year, TSLA has experienced a notable growth of 98.48%.
The stock&#8217;s 52-week range is between $488.54 and $138.80. With a market capitalization of $1.33 trillion, TSLA's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 119.048 is higher than the industry average of 25.750 and it has a relative strength index of 52.72, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Tesla has a consensus &#8216;hold&#8217; with a price target of $308.4, according to the 34 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">analysts tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $550, and the low is $24.86. Recent ratings by Wedbush, Piper Sandler, and Barclays suggest a $458.33 target, implying a 10.77% upside.

Tesla Set For A 'Choppy' First Half Amid New EV Policies, But This Analyst Sees 20% Upside For Elon Musk's EV Company With A $500 Price Target

The launch of President Donald Trump&#8217;s meme coin and its meteoric rise to tens of billions of dollars in valuation has generated astonishment unlike anything seen before.
What happened: The Official Trump (TRUMP) coin reached a fully diluted valuation of nearly $75 billion within two days of its launch, a feat that took <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43080060/donald-trump-and-melania-memecoins-combined-market-value-is-now-higher-than-that-of-warren-buffetts-hot-pick">several publicly listed corporations</a> years to achieve.
Take, for instance, tech giant Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). The Jeff Bezos-founded company may boast of a market capitalization of nearly $2.50 trillion today, but its growth in the nascent stages wasn't exactly exponential.

Amazon had its initial public offering on May 15, 1997, trading at $18 per share. It had a market valuation of a little over $11 billion by 1998.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41255752/jeff-bezos-says-all-overnight-success-takes-10-years-amazon-didnt-turn-a-profit-for-almost-a-decade">operated at a loss for years</a>, partly due to the dot-com bubble crisis, and it wasn&#8217;t until 2003 that it earned a full-year profit. Despite this, its market worth fluctuated between $10 billion and $30 billion for the remainder of the decade.&nbsp;
The stock finally took off at the dawn of the new decade and hit a $75 billion valuation in Oct. 2010. This means that it took Amazon more than 13 years to reach a market worth what President Trump's memecoin did in two days.
Why It Matters: While these analogies indeed evoke astonishment, one should exercise caution when comparing enterprises founded on a business strategy to assets that lack use cases, at least so far.
Aside from being linked with the U.S. president, the TRUMP meme coin has no practical application. It&#8217;s only being utilized as a speculative investment to record quick profits.
The result—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43088840/donald-and-melania-trump-memecoins-crash-after-presidential-inaugurationfirst-couples-crypto-wealth-plunges-36">a highly volatile asset</a>. Its fully diluted market capitalization, as mentioned earlier, has halved to $37 billion as of this writing.
On the other hand, Amazon has grown to become a trillion-dollar company, enabling Bezos to accumulate a multibillion-dollar fortune.
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $37.00, plunging 13.74% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/official-trump/">according </a>to CoinMarketCap.
Shares of Amazon closed 1.86% higher at $235.01 during Wednesday&#8217;s regular trading session.

Trump Memecoin Achieved This Valuation Milestone Inside Two Days That Took Jeff Bezos' Amazon Over 13 Years

On Wednesday, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella addressed Elon Musk&#8217;s skepticism about the ambitious Project Stargate's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43121798/elon-musk-says-project-stargate-doesnt-actually-have-the-money-after-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-investment-led-by-softbank-oracle-and-openai">$100 billion funding potential</a>.
What Happened: In an interview with CNBC, Nadella said, "All I know is, I'm good for my $80 billion," referencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">Microsoft's annual investment</a> in AI and cloud infrastructure.
This allocation will ensure Azure's global capabilities continue to expand, including support for OpenAI's models, he noted.

&#8220;Any time a company that you've supported, and essentially were seed investor, raises money from others, it's a good day,&#8221; said Nadella, when asked how this venture can benefit Microsoft.
&#8220;It's a good day for OpenAI and a good day for Microsoft and our investors. Our partnership continues. We will be a tech partner to Stargate,&#8221; he added.
During the interview, Nadella was also asked about concerns raised by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff regarding potential competition between Microsoft and OpenAI.
In response, the Microsoft CEO reiterated that the collaboration with ChatGPT-parent is foundational and mutually beneficial.&nbsp;

Why It Matter: The Stargate project, a joint venture between OpenAI, SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>), and Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), has drawn scrutiny over its ambitious funding goals.
The venture represents a significant step in AI development and infrastructure in the U.S., with an initial private investment of $100 billion and the potential to grow to $500 billion over four years.
Following President Donald Trump's announcement, Musk said, "They don&#8217;t actually have the money," and later in a separate post stated, "SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority."
When Nadella's comment reached Musk, he replied by saying, &#8220;Satya definitely does have the money.&#8221;

The project aims to construct data centers and power generation facilities to support advanced AI research and applications, marking a significant declaration of America's technological ambitions.
