The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday repealed a cryptocurrency accounting directive that prevented banking institutions from providing custodial services for digital assets.
What happened: SEC commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the recently formed cryptocurrency task force, announced the cancellation of the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 policy, also known as Hester Peirce,
"Bye, bye SAB 121! It&#8217;s not been fun," the commissioner also known as &#8220;Crypto Mom,&#8221; wrote.

Why It Matters: The SAB 121 mandated that companies holding customers' cryptocurrencies must record them on their balance sheets, curtailing their ability to participate in digital asset custody services.
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives voted unanimously to overturn the directive. However, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39214376/biden-vetoes-bipartisan-bill-to-overturn-secs-crypto-custody-rules">resolution was vetoed</a> by the White House under former President Joe Biden in June of 2024.

SEC Repeals SAB 121 Policy That Restricted Banks From Providing Custody Services For Bitcoin: Crypto Mom Says 'Bye, Bye'

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

A U.S. federal judge has put a temporary stop to an executive order aimed at limiting automatic birthright citizenship on Thursday. The judge deemed the order &#8220;blatantly unconstitutional.&#8221;
What Happened: Judge John Coughenour, stationed in Seattle, issued a temporary restraining, effectively blocking the enforcement of President Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order, as per a Reuters report. The order was issued at the behest of four Democratic-led states: Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon.
The executive order instructed U.S. agencies to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. if neither parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. &#8220;I am having trouble understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this order is constitutional,&#8221; Coughenour told a U.S. Justice Department lawyer defending the order.
The states contended that Trump&#8217;s order contravenes the citizenship clause of the U.S. Constitution&#8217;s 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States. &#8220;This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,&#8221; Coughenour stated.
Trump said on Coughenour&#8217;s ruling, &#8220;Obviously we&#8217;ll appeal.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The executive order was part of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43084601/trump-day-1-executive-order-tsunami-incoming-heres-what-hes-signing-first">slew of actions</a> the president pledged to take immediately after his inauguration. The order was a continuation of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32640194/trump-calls-for-abolition-of-birthright-citizenship-once-again-will-issue-executive-order-on-day-1-i">long-standing stance</a> against birthright citizenship, a position he had reaffirmed during his campaign.
Trump&#8217;s niece, Mary Trump, had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42497190/mary-trump-slams-uncle-over-anti-birthright-citizenship-stance-a-deeply-ignorant-cruel-man">criticized his stance</a> on birthright citizenship, emphasizing its importance in the context of their family&#8217;s history in America.
The temporary restraining order will prevent Trump&#8217;s policy from being enforced nationwide for 14 days, during which Judge Coughenour will consider whether to issue a long-lasting preliminary injunction.
 The arguments over this will be heard on Feb. 6. If Trump&#8217;s order is allowed to stand, more than 150,000 newborn children would be denied citizenship annually, according to the Democratic-led states.

Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order Halted By Judge: 'Blatantly Unconstitutional'

Josh Kesselman, founder of RAW and creator of its iconic rolling papers, celebrated an $8.7 million legal victory against counterfeiters in the most fitting way possible: by printing the court verdict on rolling paper and rolling a giant joint. 
"This was the best way to celebrate our $8.7 million victory," Kesselman told Benzinga. "We rolled it up and smoked the lawsuit, literally."
The celebration followed a decisive ruling from the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada on Dec. 17, 2024. The court awarded BBK Tobacco &amp; Foods, which distributes RAW under its HBI International brand, more than $3 million in disgorged profits from the defendants and an additional $5.6 million in statutory damages for copyright infringements related to RAW's packaging designs.

RAW has built a global reputation for high-quality rolling papers, cones and smoking accessories, attracting a loyal customer base. This victory reinforces the company's commitment to safeguarding its brand and ensuring authenticity in an industry rife with counterfeits.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Battling Counterfeit RAW Products</h1>
The lawsuit focused on counterfeit rolling papers sold under the "Brocone" brand, manufactured by Brocone Organic Private Limited in India. The products closely imitated RAW's packaging, down to the exact wording. While BBK reached a confidential settlement with NEPA Wholesale Inc., the primary U.S. distributor of Brocone products, in September 2023, litigation against Brocone Organic, U.S. importer AIMS Group USA Corporation and Florida One Wholesale, Inc. continued.
Kesselman expressed his determination to protect RAW customers, saying, "We have dedicated our lives to making the best rolling products on the planet. Our customers are our family. We can't let anyone willfully trick our family into buying something that isn't genuine RAW. Whether it's a counterfeit or a look-alike, we must protect our family from that sort of awful deception. We all deserve better, and we all get higher together!"
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Statement Beyond The Courtroom</h1>
The legal win sends a strong message to would-be counterfeiters and reinforces BBK's reputation for defending its intellectual property. The $8.7 million judgment is a reminder of the serious consequences of intellectual property theft, particularly in the highly competitive smoking accessories industry.
"This victory is about more than money," Kesselman emphasized. "It's about protecting what RAW stands for: quality, authenticity and respect for our customers."
By turning the verdict into a literal smoking celebration, Kesselman not only highlighted the company's creativity but also reaffirmed RAW's commitment to its loyal customer base and the principles that have made it a global leader in rolling paper innovation.

RAW Founder Celebrates $8.7M Legal Victory In A Very Peculiar Way: 'We Rolled It Up And Smoked The Lawsuit, Literally'

President Donald Trump has called for NATO members to significantly increase their spending on defense, suggesting a target of 5% of gross domestic product to go<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/01/43133508/trump-wants-to-buy-greenland-for-us-security"> toward military spending.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Trump reiterated the 5% of GDP spending goal on Monday following his inauguration, according to a Reuters report. The current spending goal is set at 2% and eight NATO member states do not meet the current goal.&nbsp;
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/emerging-market-etfs/25/01/43130930/trump-looking-at-10-tariff-on-china-starting-feb-1">Trump &#8216;Looking At&#8217; 10% Tariff On China Starting Feb. 1&nbsp;</a>
Poland currently spends about 4.1% of its GDP on military and defense, the highest of any NATO member. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk supported Trump's call for increased defense spending in a speech to the lawmakers of the European Parliament on Wednesday.&nbsp;
&#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t be irritated. We shouldn&#8217;t be appalled,&#8221; Tusk told lawmakers of the European Parliament. &#8220;Some think it&#8217;s extravagant or it is a brutal or malicious warning.&#8221;
Tusk told the Parliament that Russia poses an existential threat to the EU.&nbsp;
&#8220;I would like to tell you that this is a time when Europe cannot afford to save on security,&#8221; Tusk said.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Many analysts expect increased defense spending under the new Trump administration and increased spending targets for NATO members would add to the likelihood of benefits for military and defense contractors like RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>). 
Truist Securities analyst Michael Ciarmoli recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/initiation/25/01/43010706/doge-fears-for-defense-contractors-lockheed-martin-northrop-grumman-overblown-analyst-says"> initiated coverage </a>on Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) with Buy ratings and price targets of $579 and $544, respectively. 
Ciarmoli said U.S. and NATO defense budgets will continue to grow and demand for missiles and munitions will be robust.
Additionally, NATO is increasingly using "bulk buys," an aggregated business model to purchase weapons systems and munitions. For example, the NATO Support and Procurement Agency ordered up to 1,000 Patriot Advanced Capability Missiles from MBDA and Raytheon's joint venture Comlog, on behalf of Romania, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands, as <a href="https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2024/07/23/natos-newfound-knack-for-hefty-bulk-buys-has-arms-maker-rtx-perked-up/">reported</a> by DefenseNews.&nbsp;
These bulk buys could result in large orders and purchases from defense contractors if NATO spending does increase.&nbsp;

Trump Calls For Increased NATO Military Spending: Defense Contractors Stand To Benefit

In a recent interview, NBA team owner Mark Cuban highlighted the differences between X and Bluesky with a preference for Bluesky due to no algorithm and the ability to truly hide <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42566461/mark-cuban-says-this-is-the-holy-grail-that-makes-bluesky-better-than-musks-x-platform">and block people.</a>
While Cuban is a fan of Bluesky, the National Football League isn't quite convinced and has told teams to pause their usage of the X rival.
What Happened: Bluesky has attracted strong user growth since<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42867967/elon-musks-x-rival-bluesky-is-being-valued-at-700-million-after-explosive-growth-post-trumps-victory-report"> the 2024 presidential election</a> as social media users look for alternatives to the Elon Musk-owned X.
A recent podcast appearance by Kraft Sports + Entertainment Vice President of Content Fred Kirsch revealed that the NFL isn't ready to take advantage of the Bluesky growth yet, as <a href="https://www.sportico.com/business/tech/2025/nfl-bluesky-patriots-platforms-x-reddit-ban-alternatives-1234825016/">reported </a>by Sportico.
"Right now we're not allowed to," Kirsch said of having an active team using Bluesky. "Whenever the league gives us the green light, we'll get back on Bluesky."
Kraft Sports + Entertainment is the owner of the NFL's New England Patriots.
An NFL league source told Sportico that the NFL and its teams only have official presences on platforms where the league has partnership agreements. The NFL does not currently have a deal with Bluesky.
Deals for the NFL include TikTok, X and YouTube. These deals can include license fees, the split of advertisement revenue and be used for marketing purposes.
An NBC Sports <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/patriots-say-nfl-wont-allow-teams-to-be-on-bluesky-yet">report </a>said the NFL's policy not allowing NFL teams to post on Bluesky could raise antitrust concerns due to the league's partnership with platforms like X. NFL teams operate as independent businesses and should be able to make their own decisions over which platforms to be on, the report said.
X <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/04/nfl-x-twitter-renew-content-partnership-ceo-linda-yaccarino-1235899239/">announced </a>a renewed content partnership in April 2024 and saw the <a href="https://x.com/XBusiness/status/1858556135713681804">launch </a>of a new NFL-specific portal in October 2024.

Why It's Important: Bluesky continues to grow and has over 29 million users according to the report. This is significantly less than the number of users that are on X and platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. The NFL may be hesitant to sign a partnership with a newer platform.
Cuban is one of the most followed people on Bluesky with one million followers. Cuban is a part owner in the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. A quick search for the Mavericks on Bluesky brought up what looks like the team's official <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/dallasmavs.bsky.social">account</a>, which had one post back in May 2023 and has not posted since.
Several sports media personalities, including some from ESPN, can be found on Bluesky as the platform grows.
For Bluesky to continue its growth, the platform likely needs more well-known names, celebrities and sports teams to join. The NFL's decision will be closely monitored going forward.

Are you working tirelessly to keep a business running, managing operations, building client relationships and essentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41776393/49-of-ceos-say-their-role-should-be-automated-but-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-responds-absolutely-not-fo">doing the job of a CEO – </a>only to find out that you're earning just a fraction of what the company makes?&nbsp;
That's exactly the situation one Reddit user shared recently, sparking a heated debate about ethics, business loyalty and the pursuit of personal success.
The poster <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/1hmvs5f/should_i_undermine_my_boss_and_start_my_own/">explained</a> that their boss bought the business after her husband passed away. She hired them to help run it, but now they do 95% of the work. Meanwhile, the boss and her sons, who don't help much, keep most of the profits.&nbsp;

They were only paid a base wage and a 5% commission on sales, even though the company was becoming increasingly successful. As they put it, "If I help this woman build her company for the next few years, who knows what I'll be left with at the end of it? She says if I do well, she will give me 30% equity, but that's not in writing.&#8221;
The question to the Reddit community was straightforward but complex: should they stay loyal and continue building someone else's legacy or leave to start a competing business and finally reap the full benefits of their efforts?
&#8220;She's a nice lady but just loves her sons a lot, so she wants her son to take over the company, even though they have no interest or know-how.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Leaving</h2>
Many commenters supported the idea of starting their own business, arguing that loyalty in business often goes unrewarded. "You will not make this person suddenly care enough about you to reward you proportionally," one user wrote. Others pointed out that their contributions outweighed their compensation, making it reasonable to seek greener pastures.
Starting a new business would allow them to take control of their future and fully benefit from their hard work. Some even suggested that they could outcompete their boss's business, leveraging the relationships and knowledge they've built. However, they also admitted feeling guilty: "Part of me feels very bad for doing this to her after she introduced me to this industry (albeit it was by my own capacity it has gotten this far)."
However, there's a big caveat – ethical and legal boundaries. Using client lists, trade secrets or other proprietary information could result in lawsuits, especially if the employee signed a noncompete agreement. Many commenters urged consulting an attorney before making any moves, moving geographies or working with different clients.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Staying</h2>
While leaving may seem like the obvious choice, others argued that they owe something to the boss who gave them a chance after their first two businesses failed. &#8220;What about the part where op says he failed two businesses and she took a shot on him and gave him a place to work?&#8221; one commenter noted. "Why not just tell her what you told us? Give her a fair chance to bring you in on the 30% equity or whatever your terms are."
This approach would allow them to achieve their goals while maintaining integrity and preserving relationships.
Additionally, commenters warned about underestimating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42677675/financial-planning-for-startups-tips-and-tools-to-track-every-dollar">challenges of running their own business</a>. Entrepreneurship comes with significant risks and responsibilities, from managing overhead costs to dealing with legal compliance and employee issues.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing Ethics and Ambition</h2>
The heart of the dilemma is balancing ambition with ethical considerations. Starting a competing business isn't inherently unethical, but the way it's done matters. Poaching clients or using inside information could damage their reputation and lead to legal trouble. Conversely, staying in a role where they feel undervalued could leave them resentful and stuck.

President Donald Trump confronted Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon on Thursday at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, alleging discrimination against conservative clients.
Trump, addressing the audience via video conference, accused the financial giants of excluding conservative businesses, an allegation that the banks have denied, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-confronts-bank-america-ceo-not-taking-conservative-business">reports</a>.
What Happened: Trump directly confronted Moynihan, claiming that conservatives face banking discrimination. &#8220;I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives,&#8221; Trump said, alleging that certain financial institutions, including Bank of America, have refused to provide services to right-leaning clients. 
Trump suggested regulatory pressure from the Biden administration could influence such decisions and urged financial leaders to reconsider their policies. 
Moynihan did not respond to Trump&#8217;s remarks on the matter but instead shifted the discussion toward Bank of America&#8217;s sponsorship of the upcoming World Cup in the U.S. A spokesperson for the bank later refuted claims of political bias, saying, &#8220;We serve more than 70 million clients and we welcome conservatives.&#8221; 
The bank insisted account closures are based solely on regulatory compliance, not political affiliations.

The president also called out Dimon, urging him to ensure fair access to banking services for conservative clients. A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson emphasized their stance, saying, &#8220;We never close accounts for political reasons, full stop.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s comments add to ongoing scrutiny over financial institutions allegedly engaging in &#8220;de-banking&#8221; practices. The issue has drawn attention from policymakers, with attorneys general from 15 states previously condemning what they describe as discriminatory banking policies, Fox Business reports.
In a broader context, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43170854/trump-outlines-economic-reset-at-davos-5-things-you-need-to-know">Trump&#8217;s remarks at Davos</a> underscored his focus on overhauling economic policies, with an emphasis on deregulation, tax cuts for businesses, and expanding domestic energy production. He positioned these measures as key drivers to encourage investment and strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices relatively flat, crypto trader Seth <a href="https://x.com/seth_fin/status/1882487524393885939">highlighted</a> that Bitcoin is currently at a key resistance level. 
He believes breaking this level could trigger a major pump, remarking that "BTC will salute its new President."
More Crypto Online noted Bitcoin remains in a sideways range despite today's slight upward move. 
Patience is critical until the breakout direction becomes clear.

Another trader remains bullish, anticipating new all-time highs soon. 
While consolidation above $98,000 may continue, Scient emphasized that holding $99,000 on the 1D chart signals no bearish trends.
