Amid the turmoil and uncertainties in recent months, U.S. equity markets have reached a staggering new milestone, with market capitalization hitting $63.8 trillion.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, The Kobeissi Letter shared recent data from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) showcasing the remarkable surge in valuations in the U.S. equity markets over the past five years.
&#8220;This is incredible,&#8221; the post says, adding that the &#8220;U.S. market has never been this large,&#8221; after doubling from under $31 trillion in 2020.

For comparison, the post notes that it took eight years, from 2012 to 2020, to double in value during the previous cycle, clearly highlighting the acceleration being witnessed in U.S. equity markets, which comes despite substantial trade, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainties.

To further emphasize the magnitude of this milestone, the post says that U.S. markets are now &#8220;three times larger than Europe&#8217;s,&#8221; while being larger than the &#8220;combined market size of Europe, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and India.&#8221;
&#8220;Mind-blowing numbers,&#8221; it says in conclusion.
Why It Matters: The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), touched a fresh intraday high on Monday, hitting 6,215.08 points.

Last week, the index flashed a sign that traders refer to as a &#8220;Golden Cross,&#8221; when the 50-day moving average rises above the 200-day moving average, often seen as a sign of momentum picking up and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46124290/sp-500-hits-record-highs-and-history-says-the-best-is-yet-to-come">new high being underway</a>.

US Stock Market Hits Record $63.8 Trillion, Doubling In 5 Years: Now Bigger Than Europe, China, Japan, India Combined

Two Chinese artificial intelligence chip startups, Moore Threads and MetaX, are planning to raise a combined 12 billion yuan ($1.65 billion) through initial public offerings (IPOs). 
What Happened: The two companies are betting on the U.S. export restrictions to boost the demand for their products in China, Reuters reported. 
Moore Threads, based in Beijing, aims to raise 8 billion yuan, while MetaX, based in Shanghai, is looking to raise 3.9 billion yuan. Both companies are planning to list on the STAR Market, the tech-focused board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange
These fundraising plans highlight the increasing efforts of Chinese chipmakers to capitalize on Beijing&#8217;s drive to develop domestic champions in graphics processing units (GPUs), which are crucial for AI development.

The U.S. has been tightening export restrictions on China, with the latest rules implemented in April banning the shipment of Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 chips, one of its most popular chips, to China. These restrictions have led to a sense of urgency in Beijing to develop domestic chip champions.
Both Moore Threads and MetaX have cited U.S. sanctions as a major risk to their development, but have also emphasized that the restrictions could create significant market opportunities. The two companies design GPUs to compete with Nvidia products and have reported significant losses over the last three years, largely attributed to heavy research and development spending.
Why It Matters: The move by Moore Threads and MetaX to go public amid U.S. export sanctions is part of a larger trend of Chinese companies seeking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350873/nvidia-faces-new-ai-challenge-as-chinese-start-up-unveils-framework-to-cut-reliance-on-its-gpus">reduce their reliance</a> on foreign chipmakers. In May, Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and Tencent (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) began switching to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/05/45692725/alibaba-and-baidu-turn-to-chinese-ai-chips-as-us-sanctions-squeeze-nvidia-supply">homegrown chips</a> as U.S. export controls and a dwindling stockpile of Nvidia processors eroded their ambitions. 
The move also aligns with China&#8217;s broader push for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45298562/chipmakers-enter-bullish-seasonal-window-5-stocks-that-could-outperform">self-sufficiency in chips</a>, with major Chinese automakers aiming for 100% domestic chip supply by 2027.

Nvidia's Chinese Rivals Look To Cash In On US Tech Ban: Moore Threads, MetaX Plot $1.65 Billion IPO

Investment advisor Ross Gerber criticized Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board members on Tuesday for remaining silent as President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on CEO Elon Musk and federal subsidies supporting his company.
What Happened: &#8220;Sadly true and it seems Elon is destined to find out who is more powerful. Not a peep from the Tesla BOD of this absurd attack on the President he enabled,&#8221; wrote Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management, on social media platform X.
Gerber&#8217;s comments followed Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46187311/trump-says-elon-musk-would-close-up-shop-and-head-back-home-to-south-africa-without-subsidies-no-more-rocket-launches-satellites-or-electric-car">Truth Social post claiming Musk</a> &#8220;may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far&#8221; and suggesting &#8220;without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.&#8221; 
Trump added that eliminating support would mean &#8220;no more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production,&#8221; while the country &#8220;would save a fortune.&#8221;
The president specifically recommended that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk previously headed, examine billions in subsidies flowing to his companies.

Why It Matters: The public feud marks a dramatic reversal between former allies.

Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) declined 4.78% during Tuesday pre-market session after CEO Elon Musk reignited political comeback rumors following his criticism of President Donald Trump&#8216;s spending bill.
What Happened: Late Monday, Musk expressed his disapproval of the spending bill on social media platform X, stating, &#8220;If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.&#8221; He further criticized the existing political system, calling for alternative parties to give Americans a voice.
Musk&#8217;s criticism of the bill, which he claims&nbsp;would increase the U.S. debt&nbsp;ceiling by $5 trillion, extends to both Republicans and Democrats. He also warned politicians supporting the bill that they would lose their primaries next year.
President Trump responded to Musk&#8217;s criticism by suggesting that the Tesla CEO&#8217;s empire relies heavily on federal subsidies. He stated on Truth Social, &#8220;Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.&#8221;
Additionally, Tesla saw over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">60% plunge</a> in vehicle registrations in Denmark and Sweden during June, after witnessing strong sales in Norway.

Why It Matters: The spending bill and the proposed cuts have been criticized by experts and could impact Tesla and the broader automotive industry&#8217;s EV push, as it proposes axing the $7,500 federal EV credit on all new EVs sold in the U.S.
Meanwhile, investor Gary Black <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/46161226/gary-black-warns-tesla-q2-deliveries-will-disappoint-says-cheaper-models-could-cannibalize-sales-and-see-ideal-re-entry-22-below-current-levels">warned </a>that Tesla&#8217;s Q2 deliveries could fall short of estimates, potentially due to the political controversy surrounding the spending bill.
Furthermore, Tesla&#8217;s sales in Canada have reportedly dropped to nearly zero, as highlighted by researcher Troy Teslike.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">According to Teslike</a>, Tesla may start reporting GAAP losses from Q1 2026, possibly due to the political controversy and the proposed cuts in the spending bill.

Inmarsat's NexusWave brings together Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band, low-Earth orbit (LEO), coastal LTE, and resilient L-band services into a seamless, fully managed solution. Inmarsat's unique ‘network-bonding' technology is designed to allow connected applications to harness the aggregate speed and capacity of all available networks simultaneously rather than relying on one at a time.
Recent real-world tests have demonstrated NexusWave's exceptional performance, achieving download speeds of up to 340 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of up to 80 Mbps. Network availability on vessels has consistently exceeded 99.9%, and video call quality has remained virtually unaffected by the availability or performance of any single network. Inmarsat's solution dynamically adjusts traffic routing to maintain a seamless user experience, even in connectivity hotspots.
Users also benefit from unlimited data, global coverage, and secure-by-design infrastructure, providing complete ‘connected confidence'. For seafarers onboard it means they can enjoy a wide range of applications, including web browsing, streaming, gaming, video and voice calling, messaging, and social media access, providing a ‘home-like' connectivity experience while at sea.

S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices ("S&amp;P DJI"), the world's leading index provider, today announced its plans to collaborate with Centrifuge, a decentralized infrastructure provider specializing in real-world asset (RWA) integration, to enter the fund tokenization space by licensing the S&amp;P 500 Index. This initiative extends the reach of the S&amp;P 500 into onchain investment products and protocols.
&nbsp;
For 125 years and counting, S&amp;P DJI's indices have provided a liquid foundation for increased adoption of index-based investing around the world. By licensing&nbsp;Centrifuge to provide exposure and bring the S&amp;P 500 Index onchain, a blockchain-native investment vehicle will for the first time be built, governed, and accessed directly through Centrifuge's RWA infrastructure, rather than via traditional brokerages. Anemoy Capital, a web3 native asset manager powered by Centrifuge, has been licensed by S&amp;P DJI along with Janus Henderson, a leading global asset manager, as the sub-advisor for the fund, to offer the Janus Henderson Anemoy S&amp;P 500 Index Fund Segregated Portfolio, which is planned to launch later this year subject to regulatory approval.

Nikita Bier's persistence has paid off — the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40482965/angel-investor-nikita-bier-once-displayed-a-giant-painting-of-tim-cook-overlooking-facebook-ceo-mark">entrepreneur behind</a> Gas and tbh is now the new head of product at X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.
What Happened: On Monday, Bier announced on X that he's officially taking the reins as head of product. "Ladies and gentlemen, I&#8217;ve officially posted my way to the top: I&#8217;m joining @X as Head of Product," Bier wrote.

Why It's Important: Bier's appointment signals Musk's ongoing push to transform X into a broader everything app. With a track record of creating viral social experiences — tbh was acquired by Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in 2017 and Gas by Discord in 2023 — Bier could help X reinvent itself.
He also teased plans to leverage Grok, X's AI assistant, to deliver "hyper-relevant timelines" and help users better understand what's happening on the platform.
Musk acquired Twitter for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44404525/elon-musk-paid-high-price-for-twitter-but-after-years-of-declining-value-x-is-once-again-wor">$44 billion in October 2022</a> and later rebranded it as X, aiming to turn it into an "everything app" as part of his larger vision.

Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) has launched Stock Tokens, a groundbreaking offering that blends traditional stock market investing with blockchain technology, now available to European Union customers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Are Stock Tokens?</h2>
These tokens, derivatives tracked on the blockchain, mirror the prices of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/46174854/robinhood-just-made-crypto-simpler-and-way-more-powerful">over 200 U.S. stocks and ETFs</a>, including giants like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), providing exposure to the U.S. market without owning the actual stocks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How And When Can EU Users Trade Stock Tokens?</h2>
To trade, users must sign up, provide a tax identification number, complete a knowledge check, and agree to the terms.
Stock Tokens are accessible via the Explore tab on Robinhood's app, where users can search by ticker or name, place buy or sell orders in quantities or EUR values, and review orders on the Stock Token Detail Page.
Funds from sales are available for trading instantly but require a one-business-day hold for withdrawals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Are The Charges To Trade Stock Tokens?</h2>
Stock Tokens are traded in USD but automatically converted from euros with a minimal 0.10% FX fee, ensuring no hidden costs or commissions. Investors can start with just €1, trade 24/5 from Monday 2 a.m. CET/CEST to Saturday 2 a.m. CET/CEST, and even earn dividends when eligible.
The tokens, issued via Arbitrum and soon Robinhood's own Layer 2 blockchain, are held securely by a U.S.-licensed institution under MiFID II regulations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Do Corporate Actions Affect Stock Tokens?</h2>
Corporate actions like stock splits, mergers, or dividends affect tokens, with Robinhood handling adjustments automatically. Trading may pause during such events, with notifications via banners or pop-ups.
While offering flexibility and low costs, Stock Tokens carry risks, including potential capital loss, requiring users to assess their risk tolerance during onboarding.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Investors Trade Private Companies Via Stock Tokens?</h2>
Robinhood's initiative, including tokenized private company shares like OpenAI and SpaceX, aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46186180/raoul-pal-says-robinhood-letting-users-trade-openai-spacex-through-blockchain-is-democratization-of-finance-end-of-public-vs-private-markets-has-begun">democratize finance</a>, leveraging blockchain for transparency and accessibility.

What Are Stock Tokens And How To Trade Them? Robinhood's New Offering Merges Owning Stocks With Blockchain Tech: Here's How It Works

Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087914/teslas-europe-sales-slide-for-5th-straight-month-elon-musk-led-ev-giants-market-share-shrinks-to-1-3">European woes</a> continue to plague Elon Musk's EV giant as it recorded a sharp sales decline in Denmark and Sweden during June.
What Happened: Tesla recorded 1,282 new registrations for its vehicles in the country during June, while registrations in Sweden fell 64.4%, according to data sales data obtained by Reuters on Tuesday.
The company's sales in Denmark fell 61.57% in June compared to last year, the report suggested.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Tesla had previously recorded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739130/elon-musks-tesla-defies-european-slump-with-norway-sales-growth-in-may-model-y-comes-to-the-rescue">strong sales in Norway</a>, largely driven by the new Model Y. However, the company has recorded poor sales figures in several regions throughout the globe. Recently, data revealed that the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">sales in Canada</a> have almost dropped to zero.
Experts like Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, also paint a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/46161226/gary-black-warns-tesla-q2-deliveries-will-disappoint-says-cheaper-models-could-cannibalize-sales-and-see-ideal-re-entry-22-below-current-levels">less-than-ideal picture</a> for the company. The investor said that Tesla's Q2 delivery figures will disappoint people.
Tesla also recently announced the exit of Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">key aide Omead Afshar</a>, who analysts estimate was let go due to the company's poor sales performance for the better part of a year.

Elon Musk-Led Tesla's European Woes Worsen With Sales Down Over 60% In Sweden And Denmark

The U.S. Department of Justice&nbsp;(DOJ) has taken a significant step against North Korea&#8217;s illicit financial activities, which involve remote IT workers operating within American tech firms.
What Happened: The DOJ has announced a series of actions aimed at dismantling North Korea&#8217;s money-making operations, which are conducted by covert remote IT workers within U.S. tech companies. The funds generated are allegedly used to finance North Korea&#8217;s nuclear weapons program and for data and cryptocurrency theft. As per the DOJ, the fraud scheme impacted over 100 U.S. companies.
U.S. Attorney for the District&nbsp;of Massachusetts,&nbsp;Leah B. Foley, stated, &#8220;Thousands&nbsp;of North Korean cyber operatives&nbsp;have been trained and deployed&nbsp;by the regime to blend&nbsp;into the global digital workforce&nbsp;and systematically target U.S. companies.&#8221;
The DOJ&#8217;s crackdown resulted in the arrest and indictment of U.S. national Zhenxing &#8220;Danny&#8221; Wang and Keija Wang who are accused of running a long-standing fraud operation out of New Jersey—one that allegedly generated over $5 million for the North Korean regime. 
They face charges&nbsp;of conspiracy to commit wire&nbsp;fraud, money laundering, and identity&nbsp;theft. Additionally, eight other individuals, including&nbsp;six Chinese nationals and two&nbsp;Taiwanese citizens, have been indicted for their involvement in the scheme.
Five North Korean nationals have been charged with wire fraud and money laundering for allegedly stealing over $900,000 in cryptocurrency from two unidentified companies by using fake or stolen identities, according to the Department of Justice.

Why It Matters: North Korea&#8217;s use of remote IT workers to conduct illicit financial activities has been an ongoing concern. In May 2025, it was reported that&nbsp;Kim Jong Un&#8216;s North Korea was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45706958/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-infiltrates-us-remote-jobs-with-the-help-of-everyday-americans-funneling-17">infiltrating</a> American businesses&nbsp;via remote jobs, with the help of unwitting U.S. citizens. This operation, run by a former waitress turned TikTok personality, saw North Korean workers overseas posing as U.S.-based tech employees and securing jobs at more than 300 American companies, collecting $17.1 million in pay.
Earlier in May, a report by cybersecurity firm DTEX revealed that&nbsp;North Korea&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488568/fortune-500-companies-exploited-to-fund-north-koreas-nuclear-program-through-mafia-style-cybercrime-operations-report">cybercrime </a>operations&nbsp;were being likened to a mafia organization controlled by Kim Jong Un. The operations involved a global network of North Korean technologists who infiltrated Fortune 500 companies and laundered money to support Kim&#8217;s nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions.
Despite these crackdowns, North Korea&#8217;s cybercrime operations have continued to thrive. In June 2025, it was reported that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46140769/north-korean-hackers-top-crypto-exploits-list-but-another-state-may-surprise-you">crypto hacks</a> and exploits had surged to record levels, with total losses exceeding $2.1 billion across at least 75 incidents. The largest single event was the $1.5 billion hack of Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit in February, which was attributed to North Korea.
