The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reportedly considering reducing the number of flights operating out of New Jersey's Newark Airport.
What Happened: The agency is set to meet with officials from several U.S. airlines to discuss scaling back flights out of Newark following disruptions caused by equipment malfunctions as well as staff shortages, CNBC reported <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/11/newark-airport-flight-cuts-ahead-after-wee.html">on</a> Sunday.
"What you see in Newark is going to happen in other places across the country. It needs to be fixed," U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, according to the report.
Equipment outages caused air traffic controllers to lose communication as well as flight monitoring capabilities for over 90 seconds last month. There were also delays to over 1,000 flights due to equipment failures, the report suggests. The event also led to several staff members going on leave.
Questions have been raised over the aging air traffic infrastructure, which could reportedly cost over $31 billion to revamp, as well as more hiring of air traffic controllers, the report said.
"In ideal weather, with full staffing and with perfectly functioning technology, the FAA tells us that the airport (Newark) can only handle 77 flights per hour. And yet, the FAA regularly approves schedules of 80+ flights per hour almost every day between 3:00 pm and 8:00 p.m.," United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) CEO Scott Kirby told employees in a note, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the U.S. aviation industry is dealing with a difficult quarter, as analysts have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/45020724/airlines-face-significant-pressure-analysts-adjust-expectations-after-q1-results"> reset price targets </a>for several U.S. airlines following quarterly results.
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) recently announced it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44982328/american-airlines-flies-into-uncertainty-q1-revenue-miss-2025-outlook-pulled-but-debt-plan-on-track?_gl=1&#x2A;1yry3sk&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;NTM5OTQ2NTE5LjE3NDcwMjQyNzY.&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MyLjEuczE3NDcwMzM3NzAkbzIkZzEkdDE3NDcwMzM3NzAkajAkbDAkaDA.&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;czE3NDcwMzM1MzkkbzMkZzEkdDE3NDcwMzQyNzAkajAkbDAkaDA.">pulling its 2025 outlook </a>as the airline's operating revenue declined slightly to $12.55 billion, a 0.15% YoY decline.

FAA Mulls Cutting Flights At Newark Airport Amid Staffing Woes And Equipment Failures: Report

Eli Lilly and Company&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Zepbound demonstrated superior weight reduction compared to Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Wegovy in a 72-week head-to-head trial.
What Happened: Participants treated with tirzepatide (Zepbound) achieved an average weight loss of 20.2%, compared to 13.7% with semaglutide (Wegovy), representing a 47% greater relative weight reduction, according to detailed results from a direct comparison trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine. 
On average, those taking Zepbound lost 50.3 pounds, while those on Wegovy lost 33.1 pounds over the course of the study.
The SURMOUNT-5 Phase 3b open-label clinical trial met its primary endpoint and all five key secondary endpoints, with Zepbound showing superiority across all weight reduction targets. Nearly 65% of Zepbound users achieved at least 15% weight loss compared to 40% on Wegovy, and participants experienced greater waist circumference reduction —7.2 inches versus 5.1 inches.
The safety profile aligned with previous trials, with primarily gastrointestinal-related adverse events that were generally mild to moderate in severity. Discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 6.1% for Zepbound versus 8% for Wegovy.

Why It Matters: Zepbound&#8217;s performance in this direct comparison strengthens Lilly&#8217;s position in the rapidly growing weight loss medication market. The drug operates as a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, compared to Wegovy, which works solely as a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently expanded Zepbound&#8217;s approval to include <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42933134/fda-approves-weight-loss-drug-zepbound-for-sleep-apnea-will-insurance-cover-this-1000-per-month-medication">treatment for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea</a> in adults with obesity. Clinical trials showed patients experienced an average of 25 fewer breathing interruptions per hour, with up to 50% no longer exhibiting OSA symptoms after one year.
WW International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WW#NASDAQ">WW</a>) recently announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45073094/weightwatchers-integrates-with-eli-lilly-to-expand-access-to-zepbound-stock-skyrockets-110">partnership with LillyDirect</a> pharmacy provider Gifthealth to simplify access to Zepbound for eligible self-pay clinic members. According to WeightWatchers, 33% of its clinic patients currently use Zepbound as part of their weight management plan, with prescriptions more than doubling in recent months.

Monday.Com Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed millionaire tax, which aims to increase the tax rate on income over $2.5 million, is being seen as largely symbolic and unlikely to significantly impact revenue or inequality by experts.
What Happened: Howard Gleckman, from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, stated that the proposed tax change would not significantly affect revenue or inequality, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/11/trump-millionaire-tax-inequality-billionaires/">reported</a> Fortune. The tax hike, which would increase the rate from 37% to 39.6% on income over $2.5 million, is expected to raise about $8.2 billion this year and impact around 80,000 households.
Most&nbsp;millionaires and billionaires in the&nbsp;U.S. earn a small portion&nbsp;of their income in the&nbsp;form of salaries, with the majority coming from capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate. Program director at&nbsp;the Institute for Policy Studies,&nbsp;Sarah Anderson, told the publication that the proposed tax increase would have minimal impact on billionaires as&nbsp;they take very little compensation&nbsp;from their companies.
"It's not going to change the revenue very much and it's going to give a lot of Republicans heartburn," stated Garrett Watson from the Tax Foundation.

Like Actually Bad&#8217;—A Man Describes The Crisis At A Big Fulfillment Warehouse: Tariffs Are Hitting Way Harder Than We Thought</a>
Why It Matters: The Republican Party, long opposed to tax hikes, is now considering them to help cover $4.5 trillion in costs from extending the 2017 tax cuts and advancing Trump's priorities like exempting Social Security income and tips from taxes.
Trump&#8217;s tax proposal comes amid a political storm within the Republican Party. Trump&#8217;s support for a tax increase on millionaires <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45037541/trumps-proposed-millionaires-tax-ignites-political-firestorm-within-republicans-doing-so-would-be-political-death-caution-experts">sparked controversy </a>and debate among Republicans and conservatives. Opposition to tax hikes is strong among traditional Republicans, including Trump advisors Steve Moore and Larry Kudlow and GOP Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas). However, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) expressed potential openness to being persuaded.
Earlier in May, Trump&#8217;s ambitious budget package, dubbed the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; was facing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45217098/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-takes-shape-gop-pushes-tax-cuts-border-wall-funding-and-deep-spending-reductions-ahead-of-memorial-day-deadline">bumpy road </a>in Congress as Republican lawmakers worked to balance tax cuts with spending priorities.
Just days later, Trump revived the push for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45317302/trump-renews-effort-to-hike-taxes-on-wealthy-americans-holds-talks-with-mike-johnson-report">tax increase </a>on the wealthiest Americans as part of his forthcoming tax package. The White House believes that this tax increase on the wealthiest will facilitate substantial tax cuts for the middle and working class and safeguard Medicaid.

Trump's Millionaire Tax More Of A Symbolic Gesture Than Step Towards Reducing Inequality, Warn Experts: 'It's Going To Give A Lot Of Republicans Heartburn'

Diversified Energy Q1 Revenue $346.9M Up From $193.62M YoY, Adj. EBITDA $138.64M Up From $102.08M YoY

Alibaba Group Holding&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Chairman, Joe Tsai, has announced that the tech giant plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its operations within the next three to five years.
What Happened: Tsai unveiled Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)&#8217;s future AI-driven strategy at AliDay, the company&#8217;s annual event for employees and their families. Tsai stated, &#8220;In the next three to five years, all of our businesses should be driven by AI,&#8221; <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3309905/ai-will-be-mainstay-alibabas-business-next-3-5-years-chairman-joe-tsai-says">reported</a> the South China Morning Post. Founder Jack Ma was also in attendance at the annual event.
Tsai views AI as a crucial tool to expand Alibaba&#8217;s user base across its e-commerce and other business sectors. During the two-day event, Tsai and Chief People Officer Jane Jiang Fang addressed several questions from the staff, including&nbsp;the impact of the U.S.-China&nbsp;trade war on the company and the country.
 Tsai expressed confidence in China&#8217;s position in the trade war, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;have the upper hand in&nbsp;the trade war.&#8221; The Chairman explained that a significant portion of China&#8217;s exports to the U.S. includes high-tech products with intricate supply chains, unlike American exports like oil and soybeans, which are easier to replace.

Why It Matters: This announcement comes after Alibaba&#8217;s recent launch of Qwen 3, its most advanced artificial intelligence model to date. The system features <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45057716/alibabas-qwen-3-launch-takes-aim-at-deepseeks-disruption-and-baidus-ernie-turbo-models">hybrid reasoning </a>capabilities, blending traditional AI tasks with enhanced problem-solving skills. This move towards AI integration aligns with Alibaba&#8217;s ongoing efforts to stay at the forefront of technological innovation.
In February, the company announced a record capital expenditure of 380 billion yuan ($52.4 billion) over three years to boost computing resources and AI infrastructure.
Notably, the Chinese tech giant has begun allowing employees from its six major business groups to communicate through an internal website, aiming to foster synergies across its operations following a major restructuring two years ago.
Price Action:&nbsp;Alibaba ADRs slid 0.37% to close at $125.33 on Friday. On a year-to-date basis, the ADRs climbed 47.53%, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alibaba has a growth score of 73.51% and a momentum rating of 93.82.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to see how it compares to other leading</a>&nbsp;tech companies.

Ball Corporation Launches €750M Senior Notes Offering Due 2032 For Corporate Financing And Strategic Flexibility

Future Fund LLC's Gary Black believes Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as well as Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) will benefit from increased EV adoption as well as growth in Autonomous Driving.
What Happened: In a post on the social media platform X, the investor shared his thoughts on why he invested in both companies on Sunday. "We own both $UBER and $TSLA for different reasons,"
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">We own both <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24UBER&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$UBER</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24TSLA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$TSLA</a> for different reasons. Our investment thesis on <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24UBER&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$UBER</a> is that as autonomy becomes table stakes for remaining in the automobile business, many auto manufacturers will achieve and be granted deployment licenses for unsupervised autonomy. <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24UBER&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$UBER</a> with…
&mdash; Gary Black (@garyblack00) <a href="https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1921351661903020335?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 10, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black said that as autonomous driving gathers steam, more companies would adopt the technology and be granted licenses to operate unsupervised robotaxis in the future. "$UBER with 170M MAUs will by 2026 year-end offer a driverless option that reduces the cost per mile from $2/mile to $1/mile," he said in the post.
"We see $UBER Non-GAAP EPS increasing from $3/share in 2025 to $8/share by 2030.&nbsp; Our UBER PT is $120." Black said.
He then talked about Tesla and how Elon Musk's EV giant could stand to gain from increased EV adoption throughout the globe. "We own $TSLA because as global EV adoption increases from its current 20% to 50% by 2030, TSLA deliveries should increase from 1.7M in 2025 to 5.0M by 2030," he shared.
Black also shared how autonomous driving could help boost sales before setting a $310 price target on Tesla stock. "We expect unsupervised autonomy to sell more Teslas and increase the FSD take rate from its current 15% to 33%." the investor said.
Why It Matters: The investor has been an advocate for autonomous vehicles. He had recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45339797/gary-black-doubles-down-on-ubers-autonomy-upside-reflects-on-tesla-debates-i-was-right-on-volume-pr-and-robotaxis">doubled down </a>on Uber's growth as autonomous vehicles are steadily gaining pace in the U.S.
Black has also previously shared that Musk's company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45336172/tesla-bull-gary-black-reaffirms-elon-musks-company-best-positioned-to-capitalize-on-evs-and-autonomo">is "best positioned"</a> to&nbsp;
Capitalize on EV growth in the country. "As EV adoption and demand for autonomy increases, $TSLA remains the best positioned to capitalize on these two megatrends," he said.
Elsewhere, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">the investor also hailed </a>Uber rival Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) as the ride-hailing service surprised analysts by beating expectations. The company revealed that it attained a $.01 EPS vs a projected -$.02 loss, at the Q1 earnings call last Thursday.

Over the weekend, billionaire investor Mark Cuban shared a list of unfiled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41234173/how-mark-cuban-turned-broadcast-com-into-5-7b-sale-we-were-the-youtube-of-our-day">patent ideas from</a> Broadcast.com's early days, indicating they could have changed the course of internet history.
What Happened: Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Cuban shared "Potential Broadcast.com Patent Applications," dated Jan. 4, 1999.
The list includes 13 patent ideas that were considered by Broadcast.com's intellectual property lawyers but never filed.
"Just found the old list of patents our IP lawyers for Broadcast.com were going to file but never got around to under Yahoo," Cuban wrote. "Not saying they all would have been granted, but if you ever need prior art in this area, here you go lol."

Among the unfiled patents were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Geographic IP Identification — a method to pinpoint a device's location by analyzing internet packet routes.</li>
<li>Reverse Auction — where buyers post what they want and sellers compete by offering lower prices.</li>
<li>Streaming Authentication Systems — extending early user authentication methods for audio streams.</li>
<li>Telephony-Based Content Publication — converting voicemail messages into multimedia content online.</li>
</ul>
After someone noted that Broadcast.com now leads to a blank page, Cuban responded by saying, "I tried to buy it back," adding, "Still willing to if anyone there cares!"

Why It's Important: Broadcast.com began as AudioNet in September 1995, founded by Christopher Jaeb. Not long after, entrepreneur Cuban made a significant investment in the company.
The platform was a pioneer in streaming internet sports radio, enabling fans to tune in to live broadcasts of games from outside their local areas.
In 1998, amid the height of the dot-com boom, Cuban and his team took Broadcast.com public. On its debut day, the stock surged by 250%, pushing the company's valuation to around $1 billion and Cuban's personal stake to approximately $300 million.
Just nine months post-IPO, Yahoo! revealed plans to acquire Broadcast.com for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/21/04/20446634/this-day-in-market-history-mark-cuban-sells-broadcast-com-to-yahoo">$5.7 billion</a>. Cuban quickly sold off most of the Yahoo! shares he received from the deal, securing billionaire status by age 41.
In hindsight, selling to Yahoo! proved a smart move. When the dot-com bubble collapsed, Yahoo! shuttered Broadcast.com just three years later.
Adding another twist, Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) acquired Yahoo! in 2017 for $4.5 billion, less than what Yahoo! had paid solely for Broadcast.com.

Mark Cuban Reveals Lost Broadcast.com Patents That Could've Shaped Tech's Future — Still Willing To Buy It Back, 'If Anyone There Cares'

Mastercard's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) top product executive says shoppers are on the brink of abandoning web browsers for AI concierges that both discover and pay for goods.
What Happened: "We're convinced that we are on the eve of a paradigm shift in commerce," Mastercard&#8217;s Chief Product Officer Jorn Lambert told the Fortune Brainstorm Tech <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/11/online-shopping-ai-agents-fraud-mastercard-jorn-lambert/">crowd</a> last week.
Lambert said consumers already type "best running shoes" into ChatGPT instead of Google and then ask, "Once you've searched and discovered a product you want to buy, it's only natural that you then ask the AI agent to buy it on your behalf."
To keep that hand-off secure, Mastercard last week rolled out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/04/45075960/mastercard-bets-on-cross-border-payments-with-300-million-corpay-deal">Agent Pay</a>, an "agentic payments" program that registers trusted bots and wraps every transaction in cryptographic tokens.
The timing is strategic. Federal Trade Commission data show fraud losses tied to online shopping hit roughly $750 million in 2024, part of a record $12.5 billion in consumer swindles.

Lambert argues AI agents can out-sniff bogus sellers better than humans by scoring every shipment and credential in milliseconds, potentially flipping commerce's weakest link into its strongest shield.
Now, whether consumers trust a bot with their wallet remains to be seen, but the payments giant is betting that safer, friction-free clicks beat a checkout page every time.
Why It Matters: The Mastercard executive&#8217;s comments arrive on the back of OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45058959/openai-launches-ad-free-shopping-search-in-chatgpt-heres-how-it-works">recent unveiling</a> of an upgrade to ChatGPT&#8217;s search functionality, enabling users to browse and shop for products directly within the chatbot.
The move comes as OpenAI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42523020/chatgpt-search-goes-free-openai-challenges-googles-unbroken-search-dominance">seeks to challenge</a> 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>) dominance in search by offering a more user-centric alternative to Google&#8217;s ad-driven results.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also envisions a future where AI agents shake up the way users <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32522731/youll-never-go-to-amazon-bill-gates-predicts-ai-agents-will-replace-search-and-shopping-websites">shop and search online</a>, rendering the likes of Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Google search obsolete.

Mastercard CFO Says Shoppers Ready To Abandon The Web Browser In Favor Of AI Agents: 'Paradigm Shift' Unfolding

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and economist Peter Schiff have sharply criticized a reported $400 million gift of a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar&#8217;s royal family to President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Summers questioned on X why universities face scrutiny for accepting Qatari research gifts while the president can receive such a lavish present. &#8220;This feels like banana-republic-level corruption. I hope the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] remembers that payments for services rendered represent taxable income,&#8221; Summers wrote Sunday.
Summers was referring to a federal investigation into whether U.S. universities—including Georgetown, Texas A&amp;M, Cornell, and Rutgers—properly disclosed over $250,000 in gifts or contracts from foreign sources like China, Qatar, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. The probe was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/30/us/politics/universities-foreign-donations.html">reported</a> on by The New York Times
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

</figure>
Schiff similarly criticized the arrangement, noting that &#8220;stock brokers can&#8217;t accept gifts worth over $100&#8221; while comparing the situation to monarchical privilege.
The Boeing-manufactured aircraft, described as a &#8220;flying palace,&#8221; will reportedly serve as Air Force One until Trump&#8217;s term ends, after which ownership will transfer to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation by January 2029.

Why It Matters: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the arrangement, stating the gift &#8220;complies with all applicable laws&#8221; and emphasizing the administration&#8217;s commitment to &#8220;full transparency.&#8221; Qatar&#8217;s media attaché confirmed the transfer is under consideration by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45338985/trump-reportedly-set-to-accept-flying-palace-from-qatar-white-house-says-lavish-gift-of-boeing-jumbo-jet-complies-with-all-applicable-laws">defense authorities in both countries</a>.
Trump defended the transaction on Truth Social, calling it &#8220;a very public and transparent transaction&#8221; that provides a temporary replacement for the aging 40-year-old Air Force One fleet while criticizing Democrats who &#8220;insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane.&#8221;

Trump's $400 Million Boeing Jet Gift From Qatar Sparks Outcry From Larry Summers, Peter Schiff: 'Banana-Republic-Level Corruption'

Renowned investor Cathie Wood spotlighted an analyst&#8217;s views about the transformative potential of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence in the financial services sector on Sunday.
What Happened: In an X post, Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, recommended a podcast episode featuring Nikil Viswanathan, co-founder&nbsp;and CEO of web3 development&nbsp;platform Alchemy. 
In the podcast, Vishwanathan said, &#8220;Crypto&nbsp;is fundamentally the rails that&nbsp;AI is going to run&nbsp;on.&#8221; He explained the underlying gap that existed in how AI agents executing various services transact.
&#8220;AI cannot get a bank account. AI cannot walk into a branch. AI cannot have a cheque book,&#8221; Viswanathan added. He said that while individuals can give agents their own account, banks won&#8217;t allow the agents to use them.
&#8220;Even more than humans, crypto was made for AI,&#8221; he stated.

Spiker Helms, an X user, questioned why the agents cannot utilize credit cards for transactions. In response, a blockchain enthusiast using the alias look black talk white argued that an AI agent cannot fill out details such as first name, last name, and date of birth to obtain a credit card.
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s bullish stance on cryptocurrency and AI isn&#8217;t new. In a recent interview, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45319531/cathie-wood">she stated that AI</a> would &#8220;disrupt the traditional world order&#8221; and replace search engines like Google.

Cathie Wood Highlights Analyst's Take: 'More Than Humans, Crypto Was Made For AI'

Bhutan, the Himalayan kingdom known for its emphasis on Gross National Happiness, is strategically leveraging its abundant hydropower resources to fuel investments in green energy initiatives and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining, according to Ujjwal Deep Dahal, CEO of Druk Holdings and Investments, the nation&#8217;s sovereign wealth fund.
What Happened: Despite its modest size, with approximately $3 billion in assets under management compared to giants like Norway&#8217;s or Singapore&#8217;s Temasek (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMSKF#OTC">TMSKF</a>), DHI aims for efficiency and targeted growth, the Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/asia/2025/05/11/bhutan-sovereign-wealth-fund-bitcoin-green-energy/">reported</a> on Sunday. 
Dahal, in a recent interview, emphasized that &#8220;size does not matter,&#8221; highlighting the fund&#8217;s focus on strategic investments to diversify Bhutan&#8217;s economy and attract foreign capital.
Hydropower forms the cornerstone of Bhutan&#8217;s ambitious plans. With 2.5 gigawatts of current capacity and an additional 3 gigawatts under construction, the country intends to become a hub for green energy technologies, including pump storage and hydrogen power. Dahal believes Bhutan&#8217;s unique position allows for rapid testing and deployment of these technologies, with the potential for global scaling.

Why It Matters: In a notable move, Bhutan has emerged as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44856786/bhutan-flexes-hydropower-for-bitcoin-mining-explores-sale-of-green-coins">significant holder of Bitcoin</a>, initiated through mining operations in 2019. Dahal contends that utilizing the nation&#8217;s green hydropower for crypto mining offsets carbon emissions associated with traditional mining methods. 
Dahal views Bitcoin as &#8220;a parallel to digital gold&#8221; and part of a broader strategy for alternative investments. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham estimates Bhutan&#8217;s Bitcoin holdings to be worth over $646 million as of April, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44856786/bhutan-flexes-hydropower-for-bitcoin-mining-explores-sale-of-green-coins">surpassing even El Salvador&#8217;s reserves</a>.
Bhutan is also developing the Gelephu Mindfulness City, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42892791/bhutans-special-administrative-region-announces-strategic-reserve-consisting-of-bitcoin-ethereum-bnb-coin-bhutan-is-open-to-other-cryptos-says-changpeng-cz-zhao">a special administrative region designed</a> to be an economic corridor connecting South and Southeast Asia. 
This zone aims to attract businesses in sectors like healthcare, technology, and green energy, fostering innovation and startup culture, according to Dahal. The city will also incorporate a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Binance Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>), to bolster economic resilience.
