&nbsp;XRP and Litecoin racked up impressive gains Thursday even as blue-chip cryptocurrencies took a breather.
What happened: Payment-focused cryptocurrency XRP emerged as the best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, surging nearly 18%.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume soared 50% to $10.54 billion, making it one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours.
The rally followed SEC Chair Gary Gensler's remarks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41993524/gary-gensler-hints-at-ending-his-stint-as-sec-chair-defends-crypto-regulation-agenda">suggesting he may be ending his stint</a>.&nbsp;

The jump came in response to a rather bizarre post by Litecoin's X handle, declaring that it identifies itself as a meme coin.&nbsp;

Gary Gensler's Departure Talk Fuels XRP, 'Meme Coin' Play Powers Litecoin As Action Shifts To Lagging Altcoins

Prominent Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor Ross Gerber blasted Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">reported support for eliminating the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit</a>, calling the position &#8220;insanity&#8221; on social media platform X. 
What Happened: The CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management was responding to reports that Tesla is backing the President-elect Donald Trump administration&#8217;s plans to end the incentive.
The move appears to contradict Tesla&#8217;s stated mission of accelerating the world&#8217;s transition to sustainable transport. According to a recent Reuters report, Tesla has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">indicated support for removing the tax credit</a> despite having previously lobbied for the incentive, which has boosted the company&#8217;s U.S. sales in recent years.
The shift in Tesla&#8217;s stance comes as CEO Elon Musk, who has endorsed Trump, reportedly believes eliminating the credit would harm competitors more than Tesla. This marks a departure from Musk&#8217;s previous positions, including his resignation from Trump&#8217;s business council in 2017 over the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.

Why It Matters: Investment experts are divided on the potential impact. Gary Black, managing partner at The Future Fund LLC, warns that Tesla has the most to lose, noting that removing the credit would effectively raise Tesla&#8217;s U.S. vehicle prices by 20% and affect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41998381/tesla-earnings-will-be-hit-hardest-if-7500-ev-credit-is-cut-warns-gary-black-citing-80-dependence-on-ev-sales-please-do-the-math">roughly 30% of its global sales</a>. 
However, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives suggests the move could ultimately benefit Tesla due to its superior scale compared to competitors.
The debate intensifies as Tesla aims for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41894615/tesla-q4-deliveries-expected-to-set-new-records-but-not-enough-to-avoid-yearly-sales-decline-says-researcher">record sales in the fourth quarter of 2024</a> to avoid its first annual decline in deliveries. The potential elimination of the tax credit would require congressional approval and could significantly impact EV adoption in the United States, which already lags behind other major markets.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $311.18 on Thursday, down 5.77% for the day. In after-hours trading, Tesla slipped a further 1.15%. Despite recent drops, Tesla's stock has gained 25.26% year to date, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Long-Time Tesla Bull Rages As Elon Musk Reportedly Backs Trump's Plan To Ax $7.5K EV Credit: 'Insanity'

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), deemed the Donald Trump-led Republican triumph the &#8220;biggest&#8221; bullish catalyst for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) over the last four years.
What Happened: In an interview with CNBC on Thursday, Saylor said that the &#8220;red wave&#8221; has been &#8220;incredibly auspicious&#8221; for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry.
The Bitcoin bull anticipated a friendlier SEC at the helm amid speculations of current chair Gary Gensler stepping aside.
&#8220;It&#8217;s very good for the cryptocurrency industry. We&#8217;re going to see a lot more pro-Bitcoin policies. We are going to see a digital assets framework. We are going to see an end to the war on crypto.,&#8221; Saylor predicted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
With the election uncertainty behind, Saylor also ruled out any major bearish events for Bitcoin in the foreseeable future.
&#8220;I am planning the $100,000 party, and I am thinking it is probably going to be New Year&#8217;s Eve at my house. So, I would be surprised if we don&#8217;t go through $100,000 in November or December,&#8221; Saylor said in a burst of enthusiasm.

Why It Matters: Saylor&#8217;s bullish sentiment aligned with the ongoing success of his company&#8217;s publicly-traded stock. 
MicroStrategy&#8217;s shares hit a record high earlier this week, pushing the firm&#8217;s market valuation to $72.26 billion, a $50 billion increase since September 6. This gain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41961419/bitcoin-proxy-microstrategy-added-more-to-its-market-cap-in-last-2-months-than-what-ford-is-worth-currently">surpassed the total capitalization</a> of Ford Motor Co. (F) and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTSH#NASDAQ">CTSH</a>).
The firm, known famously as Bitcoin&#8217;s biggest corporate holder, was sitting on unrealized profits of over $12.7 billion as of this writing, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to data from bitcointreasuries.net.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41646462/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-remedy-to-fix-unhealthy-balance-sheets-as-microstrategy-unveil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced plans</a>&nbsp;to raise as much as $42 billion in equity and debt funding over the next three years to accumulate more Bitcoin.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $88,288.00, down 1.73% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Michael Saylor Is Planning A Bitcoin $100K Party At His House, Expects End Of War On Crypto Under Trump

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell faced sharp criticism from prominent economist Mohamed El-Erian following a Dallas Chamber event Thursday, where Powell&#8217;s cautious stance on rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/41993899/powells-hawkish-remarks-shake-markets-stocks-fall-dollar-rockets-bitcoin-dips">triggered significant market movements</a>.
What Happened: El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, critiqued Powell&#8217;s performance on social media platform X, noting that the Fed chair &#8220;struggled with smart questions&#8221; and &#8220;confused the economics of different possible scenarios.&#8221; 
El-Erian suggested Powell might avoid similar interview formats in the future, particularly highlighting the chair&#8217;s unclear response regarding new monetary frameworks.
During the Dallas event, Powell emphasized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/41993899/powells-hawkish-remarks-shake-markets-stocks-fall-dollar-rockets-bitcoin-dips">U.S. economy&#8217;s exceptional strength</a> while maintaining a careful position on potential rate cuts. &#8220;Inflation is running much closer to our 2% longer-run goal, but it is not there yet. We are committed to finishing the job,&#8221; Powell stated, indicating no rush to lower rates despite market expectations.

Why It Matters: The Fed chair pointed to increased productivity as a key factor in recent economic performance, noting that productivity growth over the past five years has outpaced the two decades before the pandemic. This strength, Powell suggested, allows for a more measured approach to monetary policy decisions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index, fell 0.64% as investors recalibrated their rate cut expectations. Technology stocks felt the pressure, with the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), representing the Nasdaq-100 index, declining 0.69%. Small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the selling, as evidenced by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) dropping 1.35%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Powell&#8217;s remarks triggered a sharp <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">repricing</a> in rate cut expectations, with the CME FedWatch Tool showing the probability of a December rate reduction falling to 58.9% from nearly 80%. This shift came after Powell emphasized the economy&#8217;s remarkable strength and indicated no urgency to lower rates.

Mohamed El-Erian Criticizes Fed Chair Powell's Interview Performance: 'He Struggled With Some Of The Smart Questions'

Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo threw a jibe at economist Peter Schiff for attempting to stay relevant by dunking on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: On Thursday, Woo took to X to describe a rather unique perspective on Bitcoin. He said that the leading cryptocurrency was more than just a digital form of money, instead likening it to a &#8220;squatter living rent-free in people&#8217;s minds.&#8221;
&#8220;After a while, there's only 2 paths: you buy it and become rich or you keep hating and turn crazy,&#8221; Woo added.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">People think <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> is digital money but they miss the point.

Woo&#8217;s remark was in response to Schiff, who sarcastically suggested that the Social Security Trust Fund should sell all of its Treasuries to buy Bitcoin. 
Schiff&#8217;s comment was a tongue-in-cheek critique of Bitcoin&#8217;s volatile nature and the potential economic catastrophe he believed could ensue if the U.S. government were to establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve.
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s views on Bitcoin have been controversial, and many have accused him of doing engagement farming by repeatedly mentioning the coin in his X posts.
His critics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38781124/peter-schiff-says-he-gets-a-kick-out-of-fanatics-accusing-him-of-secretly-owning-bitcoin-t" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">believe he secretly owns Bitcoin</a>, in contrast to the overtly critical positions he takes on social media. The economist has consistently denied this claim
Earlier this week, Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41891221/peter-schiff-says-he-would-have-loaded-up-on-bitcoin-had-he-known-that-the-btc-bubble-would-get-this-big">dismissed Bitcoin&#8217;s bull run</a> as a &#8220;popular delusion&#8221; and &#8220;madness of crowds,&#8221; predicting staggering losses when the bubble finally pops. He has also warned that if the U.S. government began buying Bitcoin, it could trigger a market crash.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $88,160.96, down 2.36% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Cannabis Co. 4Front Sees Loss Narrow In Q3, Major Growth In MA, IL

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is seeking high-IQ candidates to reduce federal inefficiencies under President-elect Donald Trump.
What Happened: On Thursday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41965420/department-of-government-efficiency-led-by-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-opens-x-account-with-username-doge">DOGE's official account</a> on X, formerly Twitter, posted a call for applicants willing to work 80+ hours a week to streamline government spending and cut bureaucracy.
DOGE, also referencing the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), will focus on reducing waste, cutting excess regulations, and restructuring agencies for efficiency.
Interested candidates are asked to DM their CVs, with Musk and Ramaswamy reviewing the top 1% of applicants.

The department&#8217;s mission is to reduce government bureaucracy, eliminate unnecessary regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.
Why It Matters: The requirement to join DOGE mirrors Musk&#8217;s infamous 2022 middle-of-the-night email to Twitter employees, urging them to be &#8220;extremely hardcore&#8221; and work &#8220;long hours at high intensity.&#8221;

Palantir, Moderna, Pfizer, Alibaba, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

As interest in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelic-assisted-therapies">psychedelic-assisted therapies</a> (PATs) grows, so does the need for clearer safety guidelines. Psychedelic treatments using substances like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psilocybin">psilocybin</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lsd">LSD</a>, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mdma">MDMA</a> are being explored for mental health issues like depression and PTSD, showing promising results. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy status to some, but its recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40300943/fda-rejects-mdma-for-ptsd-treatment-calls-for-more-research-on-psychedelic-therapy">rejection of MDMA for PTSD</a> due to safety concerns highlights the need for standardized assessments of adverse events (AEs) in these therapies. 
While research has largely focused on their benefits, assessing the risks and AEs related to these therapies has not been as thorough. A new framework <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02698811241265756#con1">published</a> in the Journal of Psychopharmacology seeks to change that, introducing a comprehensive approach for identifying, monitoring, and reporting potential negative effects specific to psychedelic therapies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Need For Tailored Adverse Event Reporting</h3>
Psychedelic-assisted therapies are different from traditional treatments because they combine the effects of powerful psychedelic substances with psychotherapy. This combination can lead to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40528986/psychedelic-trips-resemble-near-death-experiences-new-study-shows-what-does-it-mean">unique experiences</a> such as intense visual effects, spiritual insights, and deep psychological changes that standard safety assessments often overlook. Current guidelines for reporting side effects in clinical trials, like those in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, may not fully capture these unique effects. 
Author Roman Palitsky and his team have created a new framework to address this gap. It outlines 54 potential adverse events specific to psychedelic therapies, covering physical, mental, and spiritual impacts. &#8220;Psychedelic therapies require specialized guidelines because they blend strong pharmacological effects with psychotherapy,&#8221; said Palitsky. This new approach aims to provide a more detailed understanding of the risks, which can help researchers and clinicians better protect patients.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Challenges Of Identifying Adverse Events</h3>
A key issue in assessing side effects in psychedelic therapy is underreporting. Patients may avoid mentioning negative experiences, especially if they support the push to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelics-decriminalization">decriminalize psychedelics</a>. Therapists may also overlook or misinterpret adverse events due to their own expectations about the treatment&#8217;s benefits.
The framework suggests using self-reports, clinician observations and feedback from those close to the patient to better assess side effects. It distinguishes between normal discomfort, like facing tough emotions and genuine adverse events, such as lasting anxiety or depression. In some cases, these issues can lead to severe outcomes, as seen in some psilocybin trials.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Areas of Focus for Safety Assessments</h3>
The framework introduces several new categories for tracking adverse events specific to psychedelic therapies: Psychospiritual Issues, which involve negative impacts on spiritual beliefs or existential well-being; Interpersonal Issues, such as changes in social behavior due to psychedelics' effects on brain systems; Behavioral Changes, like disrupted sleep or increased substance use and Cultural and Epistemic Harms, which address potential conflicts with a patient's cultural or religious beliefs. These categories highlight the unique risks of combining psychedelics and psychotherapy, offering a more detailed approach to patient safety.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Importance of Long-Term Monitoring</h3>
The framework emphasizes the need for extended follow-up, as many adverse effects may not become apparent until weeks or even months after the therapy session. This long-term monitoring is critical because the changes induced by psychedelics can have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/03/25994197/study-finds-psilocybin-anti-depression-effects-last-at-least-one-year">lasting effects</a> on a person's worldview, relationships and overall well-being.
&#8220;Changes brought about by psychedelic experiences can take time to fully emerge, making long-term follow-up essential for accurate assessment,&#8221; the authors suggest. They recommend assessing adverse events for at least six months after treatment, allowing researchers to capture any delayed effects that might otherwise go unnoticed.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Towards Safer Psychedelic Therapies</h3>
This new framework is a significant advancement in psychedelic research, offering a structured approach to track side effects more effectively. By identifying a wider range of risks, it helps clinicians make informed decisions and improve patient safety. Future studies will need to validate and refine the framework to ensure it captures all potential adverse events. 
In summary, Palitsky&#8217;s framework provides a comprehensive method to standardize safety reporting in psychedelic therapies, playing a key role in making these treatments safer and more reliable as they move toward mainstream use.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Take A U-Turn As Jerome Powell's Statements Dampen Rate Cut Expectations: Analytics Firm Explains Why BTC Bull Market Has Not Yet Ended

Investment veteran Gary Black cautions that Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will lose the most if the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit is eliminated, citing the company&#8217;s overwhelming dependence on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">EV sales compared to traditional automakers</a>.
What Happened: Black, managing partner at The Future Fund LLC, points to Tesla&#8217;s recent history of price-related challenges as evidence for his concern. &#8220;Tesla&#8217;s earnings power declined by 45% and shares fell by 70% in 15 months&#8221; following price cuts of 15-20% in late 2022 and 2023, he noted on social media platform X.
The potential loss of the tax credit could effectively increase Tesla&#8217;s U.S. vehicle prices by 20%, affecting approximately 30% of the company&#8217;s global sales volume. Black emphasizes that Tesla&#8217;s vulnerability stems from its business model, where electric vehicles represent about 80% of revenue.
&#8220;No one else has anywhere near that degree of exposure to EVs,&#8221; Black wrote, contrasting Tesla&#8217;s position with traditional automakers. He dismisses concerns about the impact on legacy manufacturers, noting that companies like General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) saw earnings growth during Tesla&#8217;s recent downturn.
Black&#8217;s analysis challenges some Tesla supporters who suggest the credit&#8217;s removal would primarily hurt traditional automakers. He argues that mathematical analysis doesn&#8217;t support this view, pointing out that EVs typically constitute only 5-10% of legacy automakers&#8217; business.
&#8220;Why would raising price on 5-10% of legacy auto's business bankrupt them? C'mon folks &#8211; please do the math,&#8221; Black wrote.

Why It Matters: The potential elimination of the $7,500 EV tax credit has been a topic of concern for Tesla and the EV industry as a whole.

Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $311.18 on Thursday, down 5.77% for the day. In after-hours trading, Tesla slipped a further 1.15%. Despite recent drops, Tesla&#8217;s stock has gained 25.26% year to date, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Call For Industry Unity Amid Policy Challenges</h3>
Despite the competitive nature of the industry, Kazan urged stakeholders to set aside differences and collaborate on advancing policy reforms. He highlighted missed opportunities in the past and warned of tougher market conditions if the sector does not unify.
"Let's find that Venn diagram where we can work together to move better policy forward in this state and also federally," Kazan said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating Election Aftermath: Optimism Amid Uncertainty</h3>
Addressing the implications of the recent election, Kazan struck a balanced tone, acknowledging the emotional landscape while emphasizing a strategic approach. He noted that Glass House Brands has maintained bipartisan engagement, making inroads with both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump's campaigns.&nbsp;
However, he expressed optimism about potential reform, referencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36788077/trumps-support-bidens-los-angeles-weldon-angelos-weed-">Trump's pardons</a> of Weldon Angelos and Harry O as promising indicators of his stance on cannabis.
Kazan also pointed to President-elect Trump's support for states&#8217; rights and his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40666944/donald-trump-supports-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-game-changer-and-huge-blow-to-ron-desanti">endorsement of Florida's cannabis amendment</a> as positive signals. "We've been assured that's his stance on cannabis. He came out publicly for Amendment 3 in Florida. Why would he not do that for the other 49 states?"
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Concerns And Future Outlook For Cannabis</h3>
While Kazan acknowledged the uncertainty that investors face given the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40846480/cannabis-experts-say-weed-reform-is-a-race-against-time-is-the-dea-delaying-bidens-rescheduling-">unclear regulatory path ahead</a>, he remained upbeat about the long-term prospects. He cited the growing influence of pro-cannabis voices in Trump's inner circle, including figures like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41994550/trumps-national-intelligence-pick-is-cannabis-advocate-tulsi-gabbard-critics-say-former-congresswoman-parrots-russia-propaganda">Tulsi Gabbard </a>and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41828359/could-trumps-go-wild-on-health-invite-to-rfk-jr-drive-changes-for-cannabis-and-psychedelics">Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</a> as reasons for optimism. 
"Until the cabinet is named and things happen, there's concern, but I'm very positive," Kazan concluded, noting that the overall trajectory remains promising for the industry.

How $1,000 Invested In Spotify Has Grown
If you had invested $1,000 in Spotify stock on Sept. 1, 2020 — the day Rogan's show debuted exclusively on the platform — that investment would now be worth approximately $1,696.
This represents a solid return of 69.7%, outpacing the broader market indexes. For context, the S&amp;P 500 rose 68.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 60% over the same period.

A New Chapter For JRE And Spotify
Earlier this year, Spotify renewed its partnership with Rogan, but the show will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36914209/spotify-inks-multiyear-deal-with-podcast-king-joe-rogan-amid-shifting-strategy">no longer be exclusive</a> to the platform, expanding to Apple, Amazon, and Google&#8217;s YouTube.
Earlier this month, Spotify released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/41920955/spotify-stock-climbs-despite-q3-eps-revenue-misses">third-quarter financial results</a> reporting earnings of $1.46 per share, which fell short of the analyst consensus of $1.76.
Quarterly revenue came in at $3.99 billion, missing the expected $4.02 billion but reflecting an increase from $3.65 billion in the same quarter last year.
SPOT Price Action: Spotify shares ended Thursday&#8217;s session up 2.17%, closing at $477.50. In after-hours trading, however, the stock dipped slightly, settling at $476 as of the latest update, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tilray Medical, a division of Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>), <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2024/11/14/2981031/0/en/Tilray-Medical-Launches-its-First-Commercial-Grown-in-Germany-Medical-Cannabis-Products-Under-its-Newly-Expanded-Cultivation-License.html">announced</a> the launch of its first commercial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/germany-cannabis">medical cannabis</a> products cultivated in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/germany-cannabis">Germany</a>. 
The debut comes from its Aphria RX facility, marking a milestone under the country's recently updated cultivation regulations, MedCanG. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Cultivation License Drives Local Production</h3>
Tilray was the first company to secure the new cannabis cultivation license under MedCanG in July 2024. 
This regulatory shift allows Aphria RX to grow and manufacture a variety of popular medical cannabis strains that were previously imported. 
The indoor-grown products are expected to offer consistent quality tailored to German patients&#8217; preferences:
"Our Made in Germany premium cannabis products represent a significant step forward in delivering high-quality medical cannabis to patients," said Denise Faltischek, Tilray's chief strategy officer. "This achievement strengthens our position as a leader in cultivation, production, and distribution, while demonstrating our commitment to the German medical cannabis community."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Medical Cannabis Market Shows Strong Growth</h3>
Germany's medical cannabis market is rapidly expanding, driven by increased patient adoption that came after cannabis was re-listed as a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41885393/germanys-govt-coalition-crisis-is-cannabis-reform-at-risk"> non narcotic</a> substance. 
Companies like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40783859/european-cannabis-producer-cantourage-reports-62-revenue-increase-projects-positive-ebitda">Cantourage</a> Group Sell, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39277081/german-company-launches-largest-digital-platform-for-medical-cannabis-in-all-europe">Bloomwell</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41884236/exclusive-persistence-pays-off-for-only-cannabis-distributor-in-bavarias-developing-market">Drapalin</a> have reported record revenue, with projections suggesting continued robust growth. 
The shift toward local cultivation by companies like Tilray reflects the broader industry trend of securing supply chains, since most cannabis in Germany is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40369868/medical-marijuana-imports-in-germany-increase-51-yoy-following-reform-cannabis-clubs-still-face-">imported</a>, mainly from Canada. 
Medical cannabis, however, continues to gain traction, with sales projected to reach <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40783859/european-cannabis-producer-cantourage-reports-62-revenue-increase-projects-positive-ebitda">$1.09 billion</a> by 2028. Recent regulatory changes have streamlined access, treating medical cannabis similarly to over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen. 
While Germany has taken steps toward partial cannabis legalization, full-scale recreational sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41885393/germanys-govt-coalition-crisis-is-cannabis-reform-at-risk">remain on hold</a>.
