The past week has been a rollercoaster ride in the world of politics, with President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;at the center of several significant developments. From a decline in approval ratings to potential multi-billion dollar deals, the Trump administration has been making headlines left, right, and center. Here&#8217;s a quick round-up of the top stories.
Trump&#8217;s Approval Rating Takes a Dip
According to a recent Emerson College poll, President Trump&#8217;s approval rating has seen a decline in February. The poll reveals that 48% of nationally registered voters approve of Trump&#8217;s performance, while 42% disapprove. The remaining 10% remain neutral. This comes in the wake of several of Trump&#8217;s decisions and announcements, including a push for tariffs on countries like Canada, Mexico, and China.

Trump Administration Eyes Mineral Rights Deal with Ukraine
In a move that could potentially bring $500 billion to the U.S., President Trump is reportedly inching closer to securing a deal for substantial mineral rights in Ukraine. The President expressed optimism about finalizing the agreement amid escalating tensions between the two nations.

Trump Dismisses Top US General, Nominates Retired Officer
In a significant shift in military leadership, President Trump has removed Air Force General C.Q. Brown from his role as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump announced his intention to nominate former Lieutenant General Dan "Razin" Caine as Brown's successor, marking the first time a retired officer has been nominated for this prestigious position.

Trump&#8217;s Federal Workforce Downsizing Plan Gets Green Light
A federal judge has rejected an appeal by several government employee unions to halt the Trump administration's plans to significantly downsize the federal workforce. This marks another victory for Trump's Justice Department, which is currently defending against numerous lawsuits challenging various executive actions of the president.

Trump's Goal Is To &#8216;Abolish&#8217; IRS, Says Newly Confirmed Commerce Secretary
Howard Lutnick, the newly confirmed Commerce Secretary under President Trump‘s administration, has reiterated the President's proposal for the abolition of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Lutnick stated that Trump&#8217;s goal is to &#8220;let all the outsiders pay.&#8221;

Trump's Approval Rating Drops, Mineral Rights Deal With Ukraine, Top US General's Dismissal, And More: This Week In Politics

A call to &#8220;The Dave Ramsey Show&#8221; took an unexpected turn when Jean, a 70-year-old woman from Lexington, Kentucky, called in for financial advice. She explained that she was set to inherit $175,000 and wanted to keep it private from her husband of over 50 years. Her goal was to ensure the money went to her children and was available if her elderly mother needed care.
Dave Ramsey, known for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43741282/dave-ramsey-says-parents-shouldnt-buy-their-teenagers-cars-it-creates-ridiculous-expectations-for-life">giving honest advice</a>, quickly asked why she felt she had to hide the money and keep such a big secret. As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Jean's marriage had been dysfunctional for decades. She described a long-standing lack of respect from her husband toward her family, leading her to believe he would try to control the inheritance if he found out about it.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dave's Take</h2>
Dave didn't hesitate to tell Jean that hiding things from a spouse is not healthy. He acknowledged that while she had every legal right to manage the money independently, deception was not the way to go.&nbsp;
"I don't think it's healthy for you, and I don't think it's healthy for him," he said.
He pointed out that the real issue wasn't just the inheritance—it was the quality of her marriage. The fact that she didn't feel safe sharing this information was a red flag. "This isn't just a precarious relationship. This is a horrible relationship," Dave said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Protecting Her Money Without Hiding It</h2>
While Dave refused to encourage deception, he did offer Jean sound legal advice. He suggested she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37593532/estate-planning-why-you-may-want-to-consider-a-trust-instead-of-a-will">create a trust</a> and a will to make sure her children got the money. He also recommended talking to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37593532/estate-planning-why-you-may-want-to-consider-a-trust-instead-of-a-will">estate planning attorney</a> to make sure everything was done properly.
"If you do what I'm talking about," Dave assured her, "he has absolutely no access to the money unless you give it to him."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Compromises Create Big Problems</h2>
Beyond the financial advice, Dave and his co-host dug into a deeper issue—how Jean ended up in such an unhealthy relationship after 50 years. They emphasized that major life problems don't appear overnight. They result from small compromises, lack of communication, and avoiding difficult conversations for years.

By degrees, people allow bad situations to grow until one day, they find themselves stuck, feeling powerless. This applies not only to relationships but also to finances, careers, and personal growth. You don't just wake up in a bad place—it happens little by little when you stop being intentional.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Face Issues Head-On</h2>
Jean's story serves as a cautionary tale for anyone avoiding difficult conversations. Whether it's about money, marriage, or personal growth, ignoring problems won't make them disappear—it only makes them worse.
Dave encouraged Jean to seek counseling, talk to her pastor, and get support from people who could help her make real changes. The inheritance might have sparked the call, but the real issue was much deeper.

If You Do What I'm Talking About…'—Dave Ramsey Reacts To A Caller Who Wants To Hide Inheritance From Her Husband Of 50 Years

The Trump administration plans to overhaul food assistance programs, with the new Department of Agriculture leadership promising to fix what they call Biden-era &#8220;financial mismanagement&#8221; of food benefits.
Kailee Buller, the new USDA chief of staff, accused former department Secretary Tom Vilsack of putting politics over commonsense in managing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. "Make no mistake, Secretary Vilsack and Deputy Under Secretary Stacy Dean put politics over commonsense, ignoring scores of USDA financial analysts and policy experts," Buller <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/newsroom/usda-0020.25">said in a statement</a>. "The Trump Administration will immediately correct this egregious action, making certain material weaknesses like this do not happen again."

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
However, Buller did not provide specifics on a General Accounting Office review findings or how the administration intends to fix the alleged mismanagement.
The criticism comes as House Republicans propose $230 billion in cuts across USDA programs. The reductions would likely decrease current benefit levels, not just expand work requirements, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/12/congress/house-gop-budget-targets-snap-cuts-00203872">according to Politico</a>.
<a href="http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap#:~:text=SNAP%20is%20the%20Nation's%20largest,Federal%20cost%20of%20%24112.8%20billion.">According to the USDA</a>, SNAP served an average of 42.1 million Americans monthly in fiscal year 2023, accounting for about 68% of USDA nutrition spending. Nearly 40% of recipients in 2022 were children, with 11.6% under age 5 and 28% between ages 5 and 17. The program provides critical food benefits to supplement the grocery budgets of low-income families.

The Biden administration had increased benefits by updating the Thrifty Food Plan to reflect current food prices and dietary guidance, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-announces-plans-snap-benefit-reform-2030452">according to Newsweek</a>. Republican lawmakers opposed the move, with House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-PA) attempting to restrict USDA&#8217;s authority to revise the plan in his proposed 2024 Farm Bill.
&#8220;This is not about &#8216;cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.&#8217; It&#8217;s about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RoKhanna/status/1889824185251160172">Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) posted on X</a>. Experts at the Center for American Progress warn that the Republican-controlled Congress will likely target the critical food aid program.

The proposed cuts face resistance from some Republicans in competitive districts concerned about impacts on low-income families ahead of 2026 midterms. States with the highest percentage of SNAP recipients in 2023 included Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Illinois, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
The department faces additional changes under Trump. On Monday, it terminated 18 contracts totaling $9 million as part of Elon Musk&#8216;s government efficiency initiatives, while reportedly removing climate change references from its website. The USDA has also seen climate program funding slashed.

SNAP Benefits In Focus: Trump Admin Targets Biden's Food Assistance Policies

A simple pizza delivery turned into an incredible story of generosity after a 20-year-old driver braved a snowstorm to deliver an order—only to get a measly $2.15 tip from a customer in an affluent neighborhood.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The $2 Tip That Started It All</h2>
On Jan. 11, Lt. Richard Craig—known as Officer Craig on TikTok—was on duty in Brownsburg, Indiana, when he spotted Connor Stephanoff trekking through the snow in sneakers and sweatpants, carrying a pizza. Curious about his situation, Craig asked how much he got tipped.
"Two dollars," Stephanoff answered. Craig was floored. "Man, cold-blooded! Two dollars!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

</ul>
Realizing the harsh conditions Stephanoff was working in, Craig gave him $15 of his own money and posted the encounter on TikTok. The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@officercraig/video/7458528700187839775">video</a>, showing Stephanoff trudging through deep snow after parking his car nearly half a mile away, quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views and comments from outraged viewers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Frustration Into Action</h2>
Craig couldn't shake the unfairness of the situation, so he launched a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-rockstar-pizza-drivers-dedication">GoFundMe campaign</a> on Jan. 12 titled "Support Rockstar Pizza Driver's Dedication." He initially hoped to raise just $500 to reward Stephanoff's dedication.
"I would LOVE to raise at least $500 for this guy!" Craig wrote in the fundraiser description, praising Stephanoff's work ethic and commitment despite the harsh conditions.
But the internet had bigger plans.

In just over a month, donations exploded past $45,000, with more than 2,100 people chipping in. The highest donation—$1,500 from an anonymous donor—was just one example of how much support Stephanoff received from strangers who were touched by his story.
Comments flooded in, with one donor writing: "This story made my day! Keep working hard, pizza delivery guy! You're the kind of person that makes this world go ‘round." Others shared their own experiences as former delivery drivers, emphasizing how rare such dedication is these days. &#8220;I'm gonna do what that pizza customer should have done that day. Props to you for keeping cool regardless of their horrible treatment. Never stop being the amazing person that you are. I see you.&#8221;

Stephanoff, who borrows his grandmother's car to make deliveries, <a href="http://today.com/">told Today.com</a> that he now plans to use the funds to buy his own car, help his grandmother with bills, and, if there's anything left, pursue a college degree in history or business.
Reflecting on the unexpected generosity, he said, "Oh, this is real!" when he saw the donations rolling in. Meanwhile, Craig summed up the entire experience with a simple truth: "Good things come to good people who do the right thing."

'Man, Cold-Blooded! Two Dollars!' — Officer Steps Up And Crowdfunds $45K For Pizza Driver Who Got A Shockingly Low Tip In Snowstorm

Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management CEO Ross Gerber, a Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholder, anticipates a 50% plummet in the stock&#8217;s price this year.
What Happened: Gerber had earlier offloaded approximately $60 million worth of Tesla shares, citing concerns over the company&#8217;s dwindling popularity. 
Despite a brief spike following the 2024 election, Tesla&#8217;s shares have witnessed a 16% decline this year and have fallen 4% since Gerber&#8217;s remarks in December.
In his conversation <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-stock-price-2025-outlook-crash-elon-musks-gerber-tsla-2025-2">with</a> Insider, Gerber detailed four reasons behind his pessimistic forecast for Tesla. He expressed skepticism over Elon Musk&#8216;s ambitious goal of rolling out an autonomous taxi network in Austin, Texas, by June.
&#8220;All of this stuff is going to come to roost this year because he put this deadline on full self driving working in a couple months. It almost seems impossible for that to happen,&#8221; Gerber told the outlet.

He also voiced concerns about Tesla&#8217;s self-driving platform, which depends on cameras rather than LIDAR sensors.
Gerber also indicated that Musk&#8217;s emphasis on AI could prove harmful to Tesla. He suggested that Tesla&#8217;s primary business of car sales is slowing down due to rising competition from BYD, the world&#8217;s largest EV manufacturer based in China. 
&#8220;His 100% focus is on AI, and that&#8217;s really a detriment to Tesla more than it&#8217;s a plus for xAI and all the other businesses because he doesn&#8217;t work at Tesla anymore,&#8221; Gerber said. &#8220;If he were putting all of his time into full self-driving, I&#8217;d feel a lot more confident about Tesla.&#8221;
He also underscored the potential backlash Tesla may face owing to Musk&#8217;s close ties with President Donald Trump.
&#8220;What this does is it creates this anger. I&#8217;ve never seen this anger towards Tesla, but it&#8217;s not toward Tesla as the company, it&#8217;s because of Elon, this is the only way people can take it out,&#8221; Gerber added.
Gerber&#8217;s bearish perspective is echoed by several prominent Wall Street firms, including JPMorgan, which has set&nbsp;a $135 price target for&nbsp;Tesla stock, indicating a potential 60% downside from its current levels.
Why It Matters: Gerber&#8217;s prediction comes at a time when Tesla&#8217;s stock performance has been under scrutiny. The company&#8217;s shares have been on a downward trajectory this year, and Gerber&#8217;s comments add to the growing concerns about Tesla&#8217;s future prospects. 
His concerns about Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving platform and the potential backlash due to Musk&#8217;s association with President Trump underscore the challenges that Tesla may face in the coming years.

Former Tesla Booster Now Warns Stock Faces Major Pain in 2025

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has reportedly withdrawn its most secure cloud storage service, Advanced Data Protection (ADP), from the UK after the British government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43554574/apple-faces-mounting-pressure-from-uk-government-to-grant-spying-access-to-encrypted-data-of-users-worldwide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">demanded secret access to user data</a>.
The decision follows an order under the UK&#8217;s Investigatory Powers Act, which would have required Apple to provide a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; to iPhone backups and cloud data, enabling law enforcement to access information otherwise protected by encryption, The Financial Times reports.
The company stated that it could no longer offer ADP to new UK users, and current users would eventually be forced to disable the feature, the report further noted, citing a statement from Apple.
Since the service was introduced in December 2022, British Apple users had to opt in to benefit from the advanced security.

As of February 2025, attempts to activate ADP in the UK have now resulted in an error message.
The British government&#8217;s request to access encrypted data through a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; has drawn criticism, with experts warning it would undermine online privacy and security for UK users, BBC reports.
Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert, called the move an &#8220;act of self-harm,&#8221; as BBC dds, while online privacy advocate Caro Robson labeled it as an unprecedented step for a company to pull a product rather than comply with a government directive.
This development highlights the tension between national security demands and digital privacy rights, raising concerns over the global impact of such policies on technology companies.

John Legend & Chrissy Teigen Plan To Quit LA For New York After Wildfires. They Can Take Their Pick With $100 Million Fortune

The Supreme Court has rejected a plea by President Donald Trump for an immediate dismissal of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43758634/mary-trump-warns-dni-gabbard-could-lead-to-catastrophic-outcome-a-known-russian-asset-defender-of-murderous-dictator-assad">Office of Special Counsel chief Hampton Dellinger</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court has denied Trump&#8217;s appeal to immediately fire Dellinger, who is responsible for protecting government whistleblowers. This decision allows Dellinger to maintain his position for a few more days.
A report <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/denied-trump-emergency-appeal-to-fire-watchdog-immediately-rejected-in-unsigned-supreme-court-order/">by</a> Mediaite says Trump had dismissed Dellinger via a direct email two weeks ago. However, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson quickly ordered his reinstatement following a lawsuit filed by Dellinger.
Last Friday, the Supreme Court upheld Judge Jackson&#8217;s Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Trump&#8217;s motion to vacate the order. The unsigned order was based on the fact that the TRO is due to expire in a few days.

The order also pointed out that while the&nbsp;Court typically does not have&nbsp;appellate jurisdiction over TROs, the&nbsp;Government urged it to interpret&nbsp;the TRO as a preliminary&nbsp;injunction or to exercise jurisdiction&nbsp;under the All Writs Act&nbsp;due to the restrained core executive power.
Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito dissented.
Why It Matters: This decision is significant as it highlights the ongoing legal battles involving the former president. The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the TRO against Trump&#8217;s motion to vacate the order underscores the judiciary&#8217;s role in checking executive power. 
The case also brings to light the importance of the Office of Special Counsel in safeguarding government whistleblowers, a role that has been under scrutiny during Trump&#8217;s presidency. 
The decision to allow Dellinger to retain his position, albeit temporarily, is a testament to the checks and balances inherent in the U.S. legal system.

Trump's Bid To Remove Watchdog Denied By Supreme Court — What's Behind His Urgency?

President Donald Trump has expressed confidence in his ability to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to release thousands of Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped amid the ongoing conflict.
What Happened: Trump voiced his belief during a conversation with&nbsp;Fox News <a href="https://radio.foxnews.com/2025/02/21/president-donald-trump-on-his-frustration-with-zelenskyy/">Radio</a>. He said, &#8220;I&nbsp;believe I could, yes. I&nbsp;didn't know too much about&nbsp;it. I&nbsp;was hearing about it yesterday.&nbsp;It's pretty tough stuff, but&nbsp;I believe I could do&nbsp;that.&#8221;
The pro-Kyiv non-profit&nbsp;Razom for Ukraine&nbsp;has reported that Russian forces have kidnapped&nbsp;19,546 Ukrainian children since 2022.&nbsp;The United Nations Commission of&nbsp;Inquiry on Ukraine stated in 2023 that the majority of these children were taken from Russian-controlled territories in eastern Ukraine and moved further into Russia.
Some of these children were granted Russian citizenship and put into foster care, while others have&nbsp;lost all contact with their&nbsp;biological families. Parents have reported to&nbsp;the UN commission that their&nbsp;children are being subjected to mistreatment, including physical abuse and being forced to wear unclean clothes.

According to the report <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/21/us-news/trump-i-believe-i-could-convince-putin-to-free-thousands-of-kidnapped-ukrainian-kids/">by </a>New York Post, the commission has termed Russia&#8217;s child deportation practices as a &#8220;war crime&#8221; and a breach of international humanitarian law, calling on&nbsp;Moscow to release all Ukrainian&nbsp;deportees and detainees.
While some children have been returned to Ukraine through successful charity operations, thousands still remain in enemy territory.&nbsp;Mykola Murskyj, advocacy director of&nbsp;Razom for Ukraine, underscored the seriousness of the situation, stating, &#8220;Trafficking&nbsp;children goes against everything we&nbsp;stand for as America. We&nbsp;cannot and must not falter&nbsp;in our fight against evil.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This development comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions and ongoing conflict in Europe. The kidnapping and mistreatment of Ukrainian children by Russian forces has been a significant point of contention, with international bodies and non-profits alike condemning the actions as war crimes. 
Trump&#8217;s assertion that he could influence Putin to release these children, if true, could potentially lead to a significant breakthrough in this humanitarian crisis. 
However, the actual feasibility and potential implications of such an intervention remain to be seen.

Trump Says He Could Influence Putin To Free Kidnapped Ukrainian Children: 'It's Pretty Tough Stuff, But I Believe I Could Do That'

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is raising the alarm about a brewing battle that he believes will reshape the future of power in the U.S. In a series of recent Bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liaw4s65c22z">posts</a>, Cuban predicted that the biggest showdown yet will be between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with AI at the center of the fight.
According to Cuban, AI is quickly becoming the most powerful tool in the world, rivaling even military strength. He believes that the next U.S. president must be technologically competent to keep the country competitive, especially as AI continues to evolve.

</ul>
Cuban envisions Musk pushing AI-driven automation in ways that directly conflict with Trump's desire to control certain aspects of governance. "Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle," Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liay2ghdec2o">warned</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Battle of Business and Politics</h2>
Cuban doesn't just see this as a political fight—he believes it will be the greatest business battle in history. If Musk ever attempts to integrate AI into federal processes, a war between AI companies will erupt over which firms secure government contracts. "The battle will be fought over which company's AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero-sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen," he said.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Apparently, trillions of dollars are at stake. Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3liaw4s6e4s2z">noted</a> that major tech companies—Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), OpenAI, Anthropic, and Musk's ventures—are all vying for control. "This is a zero-sum game and the exact reason <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43056464/giving-millions-and-kissing-the-ring-when-trillions-are-at-stake-is-nothing-says-mark-cuban-explaining-why-big-tech-supports-trump">every tech bro has kissed the ring</a>. We are talking tens of TRILLIONS IN MARKET CAP."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI's Unpredictable Future</h2>
Cuban has long expressed concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42235738/in-just-16-months-elon-musk-achieved-with-xai-what-took-openai-nearly-nine-years-to-accomplish">AI's rapid development</a>, saying that unlike past technological revolutions, it's nearly impossible to predict where AI will take us. "I've <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">been in technology for a long time</a>, and you can always look at a new tech, PCs, networks, the internet, streaming, whatever, and say, ‘OK, in five years, this is what's going to happen, right,' and have a good sense. With AI, you can't do that," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40431659/mark-cuban-says-everybodys-chasing-power-and-nothing-will-give-you-more-power-than-military-and-ai">he explained</a>.
Despite the uncertainty, Cuban is certain that the U.S. is the leader in AI development and must hold onto that advantage. Countries are now competing not just for better technology but for control over algorithms, which shape public opinion and decision-making. "If you want to influence somebody, just manipulate the algorithm, and you'll get their attention," he said.

'Biggest Cage Match Ever'—Mark Cuban Warns Of A Coming Clash, Says Musk's AI Implementation Will Directly Challenge Trump's Grip On Control

Americans&#8217; confidence in the economy remains in solidly negative territory as Gallup&#8217;s Economic Confidence Index (ECI) holds <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/657044/economic-confidence-index-steady-february.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steady </a>at -19 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827291/exclusive-will-trumps-tariffs-hurt-or-help-stock-market-59-say-this" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for February, the same as January</a>.
This index measures both public evaluations of current economic conditions and their outlook on the economy&#8217;s future.
The February survey reveals a shift in how Americans view the current state of the economy.
While 20% still consider it &#8220;excellent&#8221; or &#8220;good,&#8221; this is down from 26% in January.
On the flip side, the number of people labeling the economy as &#8220;poor&#8221; dropped from 40% to 33%, with a notable increase in those describing conditions as &#8220;only fair,&#8221; which now stands at 45%, up from 33% last month.
Meanwhile, according to the University of Michigan&#8217;s monthly consumer <a href="http://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/">survey</a>, consumer confidence took a significant dip in February, marking a nearly 10% decline from January.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43901149/buffett-reflects-on-60-years-at-berkshire-helm-cardinal-sin-is-delaying-the-correction-of-mistakes" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buffett Reflects on 60 Years at Berkshire Helm: &#8216;Cardinal Sin Is Delaying the Correction of Mistakes&#8217;</a>
The Consumer Sentiment Index fell from 71.7 in January to 64.7 in February.
This sharp decrease is largely attributed to consumer concerns over tariff hikes and their potential impact on inflation, The Hill <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/business/5157665-consumer-confidence-dips-in-trumps-first-month-as-tariff-threats-drive-inflation-fears/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
In early February, President Donald Trump approved a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, which were eventually delayed after both countries took steps to curb the flow of drugs at their borders.
Additionally, Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, raised aluminum tariffs to 25%, and reinstated the full power of steel tariffs. These actions sparked worries about rising inflation, with inflation expectations for the next year jumping from 3.3% to 4.3%, while long-term inflation expectations increased from 3.2% to 3.5%.
Alongside the rise in inflation expectations, the consumer price index also showed an uptick, rising 3% year-over-year in January, up from 2.9% in December.
This marked the fourth consecutive month of inflation growth, The Hill adds.
The survey also revealed a partisan split in consumer sentiment. Both Democrats and independents saw a decline in sentiment, while Republicans&#8217; views remained largely unchanged.
Similarly, inflation expectations rose among Democrats and independents but fell slightly for Republicans.
In a recent <a target="_blank" href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/february-2025-national-poll-trump-presidential-approval-at-48-musk-doge-job-approval-at-41/" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll </a>by Emerson College, Trump&#8217;s approval rating stood at 48%, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43847433/trump-approval-rating-declines-in-february-unpopular-domestic-and-foreign-policy-ideas" rel="noreferrer noopener">42% disapproving of his performance</a>.
Despite strong approval for his election win in January, his recent tariff decisions and exploration of territorial expansion have seen a decrease in support, particularly concerning their potential impact on the stock market.
This shift in consumer sentiment highlights growing concerns over economic policies and inflation.

Is Trump Tariff Chaos Worrying Americans? Consumer Confidence Dips Amid Rising Inflation

North Korea&#8217;s infamous Lazarus Group is suspected to be the mastermind behind the $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) hack on cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, as per findings from blockchain data platform Arkham Intelligence.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to the report, Lazarus Group, a state-sponsored hacking organization from North Korea, is believed to have pilfered&nbsp;over $1.4 billion worth of&nbsp;Ethereum and related tokens from Bybit last Friday. 
This suspicion was drawn from on-chain data analysis that linked the activity to previous attacks associated with the Lazarus Group.
The link was established by an anonymous on-chain investigator known as ZachXBT, who has a history of solving numerous crypto hacks. His report included a detailed analysis of test transactions, connected wallets used before the exploit, and several forensic graphs and timing analyses, reports <a href="https://decrypt.co/307304/north-korea-lazarus-group-bybit-hack-arkham">reports</a> Decrypt.
Arkham Intelligence&nbsp;had previously announced a bounty of nearly $30,000 in ARKM tokens for information leading to the identification of the hackers behind the massive Bybit hack. The hack not only impacted Bybit but also sent shockwaves through the crypto markets.

The Lazarus Group, a collective of&nbsp;North Korean state-sponsored crypto hackers,&nbsp;is considered one&nbsp;of the most sophisticated on-chain&nbsp;operators globally.

Last year, they reportedly stole&nbsp;over $1.3 billion from various&nbsp;projects, accounting for 61% of all illicitly obtained crypto&nbsp;in 2024, according to Chainalysis.
Currently, the specifics of the recent hack, the&nbsp;largest in crypto history based&nbsp;on asset prices at the&nbsp;time of the incident, remain unclear. 
Bybit claimed that the exploit involved a &#8220;sophisticated attack&#8221;&nbsp;that masked the signing interface&nbsp;of a multi-signature transaction, making&nbsp;a hacker-controlled wallet appear as&nbsp;the intended recipient address.
Why It Matters: The magnitude of this hack underscores the growing threat of state-sponsored cybercrime in the crypto space. The Lazarus Group&#8217;s suspected involvement highlights the sophistication and scale of such operations. 
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the security vulnerabilities inherent in the crypto market and the need for robust security measures to protect against such sophisticated attacks.

Buyer's remorse frequently accompanies large purchases, particularly if you don't have the financial means to make that purchase. Personal finance expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43086362/retiring-with-zero-money-and-a-nice-paid-for-house-is-not-a-plan-dave-ramsey-tells-59-year-old-with-no-retirement-savings">Dave Ramsey</a> stands by a simple rule to determine whether an abnormal purchase or charitable donation is too much.&nbsp;
"We use the burn the money in the middle of the floor thing," Ramsey said on The Ramsey Show. "If I took this much money and set fire to it, does my life change? If the answer is yes, then it&#8217;s too expensive."

It's no secret that Ramsey is a fan of budgeting. He consistently emphasizes the importance of this exercise, especially when it comes to making large purchases.

In the poll, respondents were asked about tips to avoid buyer's remorse. Over half of Americans (53%) believe that one way to combat regret is by price comparing across retailers. Comparatively, 47% agree that adequate research for products can help alleviate buyer's remorse.&nbsp;
Ramsey's approach aligns with this mindset—by evaluating the true impact of a purchase or donation, individuals can avoid spending decisions they may later regret.
While Ramsey advocates for financial discipline, he also acknowledges the importance of allowing some discretionary spending. In <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/budgeting/fun-money-in-budget">an article</a> on Ramsey Solutions, they explained that budgeting for &#8220;fun money&#8221; ensures people can enjoy occasional indulgences without derailing their financial goals.&nbsp;
"We talk a lot about goals and how they need to be the perfect balance of empowering and realistic," Ramsey Solutions wrote. "Fun money helps you with the realistic side because it lets you stick to your goals and have a treat every now and then. Fun money also helps you remember a budget isn't all about restrictions."

The key is to set a fixed amount and stick to it—once the fun money is spent, it's gone. This helps maintain financial balance while still allowing for small luxuries.
Charitable giving is also an important value for many, including Ramsey, but he advises people to ensure their generosity aligns with their financial situation. If giving away a certain amount would create financial strain, it may be too much. Instead, he recommends planning for generosity within a budget, just as one would for other expenses.
Ramsey's approach to evaluating major purchases and donations is rooted in financial responsibility and intentionality. By using a budget, planning ahead, and considering the impact of an expense, individuals can make confident financial choices without experiencing regret. For those looking to apply Ramsey's principles, his straightforward test serves as a practical guide: if losing the money would negatively impact your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/36960367/average-person-believes-financial-happiness-comes-with-a-1-2-million-price-tag-revealing-money-c">financial well-being</a>, it's likely too much to spend.

How Does Dave Ramsey Determine If An Abnormal Purchase Or Charitable Donation Is Too Much?

Investor and author Robert Kiyosaki, has predicted a &#8220;giant crash&#8221; in the market. Despite this, he is confident that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43423389/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-gold-silver-bitcoin-crash-over-trumps-tariffs-says-its-a-buying-moment">will be the first to recover</a>.
What Happened: In a post on X on Friday, Kiyosaki anticipates a significant market crash that will impact all major assets, including&nbsp;stocks, bonds, real estate, gold,&nbsp;silver, and Bitcoin. However, he strongly believes in Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience, asserting that it&nbsp;will be the fastest to&nbsp;recover and hit new highs.
In the post Kiyosaki revealed his post-crash strategy on buying more Bitcoin. He said, despite the impending crash, he has no plans to sell his &#8220;digital gold.&#8221; Instead, he intends to &#8220;back up the truck and&nbsp;buy more&#8221; if Bitcoin&#8217;s price plummets.

Kiyosaki&#8217;s confidence in Bitcoin is apparent in his social media posts. Earlier this month, he encouraged his followers to start accumulating gold, silver, and Bitcoin, while criticizing the U.S. dollar as &#8220;fake.&#8221;

He argues that owning gold and Bitcoin is a smarter and safer strategy than saving dollars.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin has rebounded by 1.65% in the past 24 hours, moving from $96,870 to $98,540.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s prediction comes at a time when Bitcoin&#8217;s volatility has been a cause for concern among investors. 
His faith in Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience and potential for recovery, however, could bolster confidence among other investors. His strategy of buying more Bitcoin in the event of a crash could also influence others to consider similar strategies. 
Despite the potential risks, Kiyosaki&#8217;s stance underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a viable investment asset.

Robert Kiyosaki Says 'Everything Bubble' Will Cause Historic Market Crash, Bitcoin Will Be Fastest To Recover

Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has a warning for workers across America: If Elon Musk can fire hundreds of thousands of federal employees without cause, private sector workers could be next.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Billionaire Power and Its Consequences</h2>
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1890894754423910412">post on X</a>, Sanders put it bluntly: &#8220;Today, it's federal workers. Tomorrow, it's &#x2A;your&#x2A; job. That's what oligarchy is about.&#8221;
Sanders has long criticized the growing influence of billionaires in politics and the economy, but he says Musk has made it clearer than ever. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txe2Zu3QbNU">interview</a> with Brian Tyler Cohen, Sanders argued that Musk's power goes beyond business—he's now shaping government itself.

</ul>
&#8220;Everybody has got to understand this is the wealthiest guy in the world right now, worth over $400 billion,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43582376/not-a-bad-return-on-his-investment-bernie-sanders-says-elon-musk-spent-277-million-to-elect-trump-and-made-154-billion-since-election-day">Musk put over $270 million</a> into Trump&#8217;s campaign and guess what? He's now the most important person in government. What does that sound like to you? Does that sound like a democracy&#8230; or is it really an oligarchy doing the bidding of the very richest people?&#8221;
Sanders pointed to Trump's budget priorities, which include massive tax cuts for the wealthy while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43718712/floridas-medicaid-disaster-1-3-million-cut-from-coverage-one-of-the-highest-disenrollment-rates-in-the-u-s">slashing programs like Medicaid</a>, student aid, and other critical support for working families. He sees it as part of a larger strategy where billionaires get richer while everyday Americans struggle.
&#8220;The end goal of oligarchy is to make the richest people who are already phenomenally rich even richer,&#8221; Sanders explained. &#8220;How do you do that? You give them <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43774882/donald-trumps-tax-cut-could-add-46-trillion-to-deficit-says-robert-reich-emphasizing-48-billion-relief-for-top-100-us-firms-via-corporate-tax-cuts">massive tax breaks</a>.

Musk's influence extends far beyond government decisions. Sanders argues that billionaires like Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43072236/biden-warns-of-musk-bezos-zuckerberg-oligarchy-but-is-he-to-blame-mark-cuban-says-president-pushed-t">control not just politics</a> but also the media landscape. &#8220;They will use their enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death,&#8221; Sanders said in a <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1889341118556274924">video</a> posted on X.
And for those who think these billionaires care about workers? Sanders doesn't buy it. &#8220;Do you think for one second that the oligarchs give a damn about working people? Trust me, they don't.&#8221;
He pointed to Musk's role in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43781034/bill-gates-hopes-elon-musk-will-rethink-slashing-usaid-their-work-is-something-every-taxpayer-would-be-proud-of">dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development</a>, a move that he says will leave thousands of people around the world without food and healthcare. &#8220;They will sacrifice, without hesitation, the well-being of working people to protect their interests.&#8221;

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
So what's the solution? Sanders calls for unity among workers of all backgrounds—Black, white, Latino, urban, rural, young, old—to fight back against billionaire control. &#8220;The oligarchs' nightmare is that we will not allow ourselves to be divided up&#8230; and that we'll together have the courage to take them on.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mass Firings Shake Federal Workforce</h2>
Sanders' warning comes as the Trump administration, with Musk's influence, has begun a sweeping purge of federal employees. More than 9,500 workers across departments like Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Interior, Health and Human Services, and Energy have been fired. Another <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43801494/fork-in-the-road-75000-federal-workers-took-musks-offer-but-was-it-enough">75,000 have taken a buyout</a>, representing 3% of the 2.3 million civilian workforce. Many of the job cuts have targeted probationary employees with fewer protections.

Bernie Sanders Warns: If Elon Musk Can Fire Hundreds Of Thousands Of Federal Employees, Imagine What He'll Do To Private Sector Workers

In his latest annual letter to shareholders, Warren Buffett celebrated 60 years of steering the ship at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). He also expressed confidence in the company&#8217;s future under the leadership of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43769996/what-does-warren-buffett-know-that-we-dont-investors-are-paying-attention">chosen successor Greg Abel</a>.
What Happened: Buffett&#8217;s <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf">letter</a>, which was released on Saturday, chronicled the journey of Berkshire Hathaway from a floundering textile company to a powerful conglomerate. While he admitted to past errors, he assured shareholders that his choice of Abel as his successor was not one of them.
&#8220;Sometimes I've made mistakes in assessing the future economics of a business I've purchased for Berkshire – each a case of capital allocation gone wrong. That happens with both judgments about marketable equities – we view these as partial ownership of businesses – and the 100% acquisitions of companies. At other times, I've made mistakes when assessing the abilities or fidelity of the managers Berkshire is hiring. The fidelity disappointments can hurt beyond their financial impact, a pain that can approach that of a failed marriage,&#8221; Buffett wrote. 
&#8220;A decent batting average in personnel decisions is all that can be hoped for. The cardinal sin is delaying the correction of mistakes or what Charlie Munger called &#8216;thumb-sucking.&#8217; Problems, he would tell me, cannot be wished away. They require action, however uncomfortable that may be,&#8221; Buffett mentioned in the letter.

Buffett praised Abel for his knack for identifying significant investment opportunities. He also pointed out that Berkshire Hathaway now boasts a cash reserve of $334.201 billion, nearly twice the $167.6 billion it had a year ago. 
&#8220;At 94, it won't be long before Greg Abel replaces me as CEO and will be writing the annual letters. Greg shares the Berkshire creed that a "report" is what a Berkshire CEO annually owes to owners. And he also understands that if you start fooling your shareholders, you will soon believe your own baloney and be fooling yourself as well,&#8221; he wrote in the letter. 
"We are impartial in our choice of equity vehicles, investing in either variety based upon where we can best deploy your (and my family's) savings. Often, nothing looks compelling; very infrequently we find ourselves knee-deep in opportunities. Greg has vividly shown his ability to act at such times," Buffett added.
Despite recent challenges in finding major acquisitions, Buffett confirmed that he has no intention of offering a dividend. He also revealed that this year&#8217;s shareholder meeting in May will be shorter than usual, with Buffett and Berkshire&#8217;s two vice chairmen fielding&nbsp;questions from 8 a.m. until&nbsp;1 p.m.
Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s 60-year tenure at Berkshire Hathaway has seen the company transform into a global powerhouse. His endorsement of Abel as his successor is a testament to Abel&#8217;s capabilities and the company&#8217;s robust succession plan. 
The significant cash reserves and strategic investments underscore Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s financial strength and its ability to seize investment opportunities. Despite the challenges in finding major acquisitions, Buffett&#8217;s decision not to offer a dividend reflects his confidence in the company&#8217;s growth prospects. 
The upcoming shareholder meeting will provide further insights into the company&#8217;s future direction under Abel&#8217;s leadership.

Buffett Reflects on 60 Years at Berkshire Helm: 'Cardinal Sin Is Delaying the Correction of Mistakes'

Big changes could be coming for government benefits. House Republicans just unveiled a budget plan that includes massive spending cuts—<a href="https://docs.house.gov/meetings/BU/BU00/20250213/117894/BILLS-119NAih.pdf">$880 billion</a> from Medicaid over the next decade.
Social Security? Safe. Medicare? Also safe. But Medicaid? Not so much.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Draws The Line</h2>
President Donald Trump has been clear: No cuts to Social Security or Medicare. They're not touching it. But Medicaid? That's another story.
The House Budget Committee is looking to slash spending by $2 trillion. That includes deep Medicaid cuts, with some proposals pushing for over $2 trillion in reductions. The idea is to balance those cuts with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts.

For millions of Americans, this could mean losing healthcare coverage. <a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/program-information/medicaid-and-chip-enrollment-data/report-highlights/index.html">Over 72 million people</a> rely on Medicaid, including 7.25 million children enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program. In some states, <a href="https://www.kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/10-things-to-know-about-medicaid/">over 30% of the population</a> depends on Medicaid for healthcare.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Would These Cuts Look Like?</h2>
The budget draft calls for changes in how Medicaid is funded. Some Republicans want to lower Federal Medical Assistance Percentages—the amount the federal government pays to states for Medicaid. Others want per-capita spending caps, which could cut up to $900 billion in funding.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
What does that mean? States would either have to cut Medicaid services or find another way to make up the shortfall. For many, that could mean fewer benefits, tougher eligibility requirements, or higher costs.
Critics argue that Medicaid isn't efficient. Some believe many recipients could get healthcare through work or other means. But research has shown that Medicaid expansions <a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w26081">reduce rates of mortality,</a> <a href="https://www.kff.org/medicaid/report/the-effects-of-medicaid-expansion-under-the-aca-updated-findings-from-a-literature-review/#:~:text=Access%20to%20care%20and%20related%20measures%3A">improve access to care</a>, and even boost local economies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
The budget fight is just getting started. Senate Republicans, led by Lindsey Graham (R-SC), are working on <a href="https://www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/chairmans_mark_-_fy25_budget_resolution.pdf">their own budget plan</a>. That one focuses more on border security and defense spending.
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, meaning they could push through a budget with a simple majority vote. The House has a much tighter margin—218-215—so every vote will count.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), is already throwing cold water on Graham's plan, telling reporters it was a "nonstarter," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/medicaid-trump-republicans-house-budget-social-security-medicare-musk-doge-2025-2">Business Insider reported</a>. But the House and Senate need to agree on something if they want Trump to sign off.
For now, Social Security stays untouched. But Medicaid? It's on the chopping block, and millions of Americans could feel the impact soon.

Medicaid Faces $880 Billion Cuts — But Trump Says Social Security Is Safe

In a recent interview, billionaire investor Ray Dalio offered fresh insights on successful investing, emphasizing the importance of diversification and patience in investment strategies.
What Happened:&nbsp;Dalio, who boasts five decades of market experience, urged investors to diversify their portfolios&nbsp;by investing in 10 to&nbsp;15 "good, uncorrelated return streams&nbsp;that are risk balanced." 
He labeled this strategy as&nbsp;his "holy grail and mantra in investing," and assured that adhering to this mantra could result in substantial wealth.
Speaking <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ray-dalios-debt-warnings-big-economic-insights-for/id1749109417?i=1000685223078">with</a> Yahoo Finance, Dalio underscored the significance of patience in investment strategies, warning that the nature of loss necessitates investors to earn double the lost amount to recover.
"Everybody's thinking about what is the best debt. They don't realize that with diversification, the first three diversified, relatively uncorrelated assets will reduce the risk almost in half. That means you double your return-to-risk ratio," Dalio said. 
Dalio further advised investors to differentiate&nbsp;between an investment that has&nbsp;increased in value and one that has performed well, cautioning against the assumption that recent good returns indicate a better investment.

"The game is played on not getting out. The nature of loss [is], you lose 50%, you have to make 100% to get it back," he further added. 
"Get away from the notion that investments which have done well recently are better investments, rather than more expensive. You have to know the difference between an investment that has gone up a lot and done well. Don't assume that because it felt good recently and gave you good returns, it's a better investment," he said. 
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s advice comes at a time when investors are seeking guidance in an increasingly volatile market. 
His emphasis on diversification and patience reflects his long-standing investment philosophy, which has guided Bridgewater Associates to become one of the world&#8217;s largest hedge funds. 
Dalio&#8217;s&nbsp;latest book, &#8220;How Countries Go&nbsp;Broke: Principles for Navigating the&nbsp;Big Debt Cycle, Where We&nbsp;Are Headed, and What We&nbsp;Should Do,&#8221; scheduled for release in September, is expected to provide further insights into his unique investment principles.

Ray Dalio's 'Holy Grail' Investment Strategy: Why 10-15 Diversified Investments Could Make You a Fortune

In the aftermath of a $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) heist, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has launched a recovery bounty program, offering a reward of up to 10% of the recovered funds to ethical cyber and network security experts who actively contribute to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43890188/bybit-founder-says-14b-eth-hack-may-stem-from-safe-wallet-compromise">retrieving the stolen assets</a>.
This translates to a potential bounty of up to $140 million, making it one of the largest crypto recovery efforts in history.
"Within 24 hours of the event, we were overwhelmed with support from some of the best people and organizations in the industry, and we do not take it for granted. We have shared in a dark moment of crypto history, and we've proven we are better than the malicious actors," said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit.
The security breach, confirmed by Zhou on Friday evening, resulted in 401,347 ETH ($1.12 billion), 90,376 stETH ($253 million), 15,000 cmETH ($44 million), and 8,000 mETH ($23 million) being stolen from Bybit's Ethereum cold wallet. 
The attack was initially suspected to have exploited Safe's multisig wallet infrastructure, misleading Bybit's team into signing a transaction that granted the attacker control over the cold wallet's smart contract logic.
&#8220;It was a normal URL. I double-checked. It was the Safe URL from the official Safe website,&#8221; Zhou explained in a live stream following the incident. 
&#8220;The hacker changed that transaction into upgrading or changing the Safe smart contract logic so that he gained control over the entire Ethereum cold wallet.&#8221;
Bybit has already received assistance from major exchanges including Binance and MEXC, which are helping monitor and prevent the stolen funds from being laundered. 
Zhou expressed gratitude for the industry&#8217;s response, saying, &#8220;Within 24 hours of the event, we were overwhelmed with support from some of the best people and organizations in the industry.&#8221;
Individuals or groups with expertise in blockchain forensics, security analysis, and fund recovery can participate in the bounty program by contacting Bybit via <a>bounty_program@bybit.com</a>.
Despite the scale of the attack, Bybit continues processing withdrawals, securing liquidity through a bridge loan covering 80% of the stolen Ethereum to ensure customers&#8217; funds remain safe. 
The company has also emphasized its commitment to improving security infrastructure and preventing similar incidents in the future.
Bybit's full forensic investigation is ongoing, working closely with law enforcement, cybersecurity experts, and Safe's development team to determine whether the attack stemmed from a Safe multisig vulnerability or a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43886224/bybit-founder-confirms-1-4-billion-ethereum-hack-blames-masked-transaction">broader infrastructure breach</a>.

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
This week, Wall Street retreated from record highs, influenced by Walmart's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) cautious profit outlook and the Federal Reserve's emphasis on persistent inflation risks. Walmart's stock declined by 6.5% after its profit forecast fell short of analysts&#8217; expectations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43895372/walmarts-warning-fed-highlights-inflation-risks-chinese-stocks-surge-this-week-in-markets">raising concerns about consumer spending</a> amid ongoing inflation and trade uncertainties.
The Federal Reserve, in its latest meeting minutes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43829352/fomc-minutes">highlighted the need for more evidence of cooling inflation</a> before considering rate cuts. Officials also pointed to potential inflationary pressures from possible shifts in trade and immigration policies, as well as supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical tensions.
In contrast, Chinese technology stocks experienced a surge, with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) rising 8.1% following strong earnings and optimistic guidance. This rally was bolstered by speculation of potential monetary policy easing by China&#8217;s central bank and anticipated fiscal stimulus measures from policymakers.

누클레우스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUKK#NASDAQ">NUKK</a>)의 주가가 금요일 약 44% 급등했다. 이는 회사가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43042115/nukkleus-shares-are-soaring-after-hours">나스닥 상장 요건</a>을 재확인했다고 발표한 후 계속된 모멘텀으로 보인다.
알아두어야 할 사항: 이 전략적 인수 회사는 필수 기준을 충족했다는 통지를 받아 이전의 컴플라이언스 문제를 해결했다.
이를 달성하기 위해 누클레우스는 10월에 1대 8의 주식 병합을 시행하여 발행 주식을 1,690만 주에서 약 210만 주로 줄였다. 이러한 조치로 나스닥은 1월 21일로 예정되어 있던 청문회를 취소하고 회사의 계속 상장을 확인했다.
이 해결은 누클레우스에게 전환점을 의미하며, 잠재적인 상장 폐지에 대한 우려를 덜어주고 규제 기준을 충족할 수 있다는 투자자 신뢰를 높였다.
NUKK 주가 동향: 누클레우스 주식은 금요일 43.69% 급등한 29.50달러에 마감했다. 이후 시간외 거래에서 8.85% 추가 상승했다.

중요한 이유: 테슬라는 또 한 달 동안 벤징가 프로에서 가장 많이 검색된 종목으로 12월의 왕좌를 차지했다. 이 주식은 매달 사이트에서 가장 많이 검색되는 종목 중 하나이다.
슈퍼 마이크로 컴퓨터는 12월에 2위로 상승했다. 주식이 크게 하락한 월과 함께 관심이 급증했다.
엔비디아는 12월에 3위를 차지했으며, 이는 몇 달 간의 추적에서 가장 낮은 순위이다.
여러 회사들이 가장 많이 검색된 종목 목록에 처음 등장했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42380768/quantum-computing-stocks-roundup-d-wave-rigetti-ionq-lead-the-charge-with-explosive-growth">양자 컴퓨팅</a> 주식 테마가 12월 월간 순위에 나타났다. 퀀텀 컴퓨팅, 리제티, D-웨이브 퀀텀은 모두 12월에 가장 많이 검색된 종목 상위 20위 안에 포함되었다.
다른 신입 주식으로는 인기 인공지능(AI) 플레이이자 숏 스퀴즈 후보인 사운드하운드 AI가 포함되었다. 이 주식은 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%B2%A4%EC%A7%95%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%98-%EC%8A%A4%ED%86%A1-%EC%9C%84%EC%8A%A4%ED%8D%BC-%EC%A7%80%EC%88%98-d-%EC%9B%A8%EC%9D%B4%EB%B8%8C-%ED%80%80%ED%85%80-%EC%BB%B4%ED%93%A8%ED%8C%85-%EC%82%AC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 스톡 위스퍼 지수</a>에서 여러 번 강조되었으며, 회사 경영진은 최근 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%8F%85%EC%A0%90-%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%B4%EB%93%9C%ED%95%98%EC%9A%B4%EB%93%9C-ai%EC%9D%98-ceo%EA%B0%80-945-%EC%84%B1%EC%9E%A5%EC%97%90-%EB%8C%80%ED%95%B4-%EC%96%B8%EA%B8%89%ED%95%98%EB%A9%B0-%EC%9A%B0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가와 인터뷰</a>를 했다.
마이크로스트레티지는 가장 큰 비트코인 보유자 중 하나로 9위에 올랐다. 9월 16위에서 상승했다. 이 주식은 여전히 비트코인의 대리 역할을 하고 있지만, 비트코인 ETF의 출현으로 2025년 투자자의 관심을 지켜보는 흥미로운 사례가 될 것이다.
누클레우스도 10위에 처음 등장했으며, 이번 달 포함이 일회성인지 아니면 투자자 모멘텀의 시작인지 지켜볼 가치가 있다.
ETF 부문에서는 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust가 4위를 차지했으며 여전히 가장 많이 주시되는 ETF 중 하나이다. 나스닥 100을 추적하는 Invesco QQQ Trust ETF는 20위로 하락했으며, 10월에 15위, 9월에 6위를 기록했다.
트럼프 미디어 앤 테크놀로지 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>)는 10월에 3위를 차지했으나 20위 안에서 제외되었다. 이는 주식이 2024년 선거를 앞두고 모멘텀을 얻었고 이 움직임이 단기적이었음을 나타낼 수 있다. 도널드 트럼프 당선자의 취임식이 1월에 예정되어 있어 주식이 가격과 벤징가 독자들 사이의 관심이 상승하는지를 지켜보는 것이 중요한다.
애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)은 12월에 큰 놀라움 중 하나였다. 이 주식은 정기적으로 상위 10개 가장 많이 검색된 종목 중 하나로 10월에는 8위를 차지했지만, 12월에는 25위로 하락했다.
전반적으로 12월 한 달 동안 10월의 상위 10개 종목 중 4개가 동일하게 유지되었고, 10월의 상위 20개 종목 중 8개가 동일하게 유지되었다.

뉴클러스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUKK#NASDAQ">NUKK</a>) 주가는 수요일(18일) 방위산업체 스타 26 캐피털(Star 26 Capital)의 51% 지분을 인수했다는 발표 이후 지속적인 모멘텀으로 상승세를 보이고 있다. <a href="//www.benzinga.com/quote/NUKK/news"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">알아야 할 내용은 다음과 같다.</a>
알아야 할 내용: 뉴클러스는 화요일(17일) 이스라엘의 아이언 돔 미사일 방어 시스템의 핵심 부품 공급업체이자 국방 및 정보 기관을 위한 전술 차량 개발업체인 리몬(RIMON)의 지분 95%를 보유한 스타 26의 지배 지분을 인수했다고 밝혔다.
이번 인수는 핀테크에 뿌리를 둔 뉴클러스가 방위 분야로 전략적으로 전환하는 것을 의미한다. 주말에 마무리된 이번 거래의 총 인수 가격은 현금, 약속어음, 뉴클러스 보통주, 뉴클러스 추가 주식 매입권을 포함해 2,600만 달러에 달한다. 또한 스타 26의 나머지 지분을 인수할 수 있는 옵션도 확보했다.
리몬은 발전기, 마스트 및 조명 솔루션에 대한 독점 유통 계약과 정찰 차량, 이동 지휘 유닛 및 위성 플랫폼의 설계 및 엔지니어링을 담당하고 있다. 새로 임명된 누클레우스 CEO인 매니 샬롬(Manny Shalom)은 중동의 지정학적 긴장과 우크라이나 전쟁으로 인해 이스라엘 기업의 방위 관련 투자가 증가하고 있다며 방위 산업의 성장 잠재력을 강조했다.
샬롬은 "중요한 방위 시스템에 대한 리몬의 전문성과 라파엘(Rafael) 및 엘비트 시스템즈(Elbit Systems)와 같은 주요 방위 수출업체와의 파트너십을 통해 혁신적인 방위 솔루션을 제공하는 뉴클러스의 역량이 강화될 것"이라고 말했다.
뉴클러스의는 리몬의 방위 전문성과 파트너십을 활용하여 미국과 이스라엘 시장 기회를 활용하는 동시에 성장을 촉진하기 위한 인수 및 자금 조달 이니셔티브를 추진한다는 목표다.
회사의 전체 확장 전략에 따라 뉴클러스는 스타 26을 사업 구조에 통합하고 운영을 확장하며 은행, 부동산 및 코워킹 스페이스 기업을 위한 머천트 뱅크 역할을 할 계획이다.
뉴클러스 주가 움직임: 수요일 세션에서 변동성 때문에 여러 차례 거래가 중단되었다. <a href="//pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로에</a> 따르면 수요일 주가는 327.53% 급등한 50.79달러로 마감되었다.

뉴클러스 주가 327% 급등, 도대체 무슨 일 일까?

화요일(17일) 미국 증시는 11월 소매판매 발표 이후 주요 지수가 하락했다. 소매판매 데이터는 연준의 내년 금리인하 지연 가능성에 대한 우려를 불러일으켰다.
S&amp;P 500 지수와 다우존스 산업평균지수는 각각 0.4%, 0.6% 하락했고, 나스닥 100 지수는 지정학적 긴장감으로 반도체주가 하락세를 주도하며 0.3% 하락했다.
화요일에 개인 투자자와 트레이더들의 주목을 받은 주식은 다음과 같다.
1. 뉴클러스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUKK#NASDAQ">NUKK</a>)

5. 테슬라 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
테슬라는 3.64% 상승하여 479.86달러에 마감했다. 장중 최고가 483.99달러, 최저가 457.51달러였으며 52주 범위는 483.99~138.8달러였다. 애널리스트인 댄 아이브스는 테슬라가 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인의 행정부에서 인공지능과 규제 완화에 힘입어 예상되는 기술 부문 확장의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42522531/tesla-will-be-the-biggest-winner-in-the-trump-era-says-dan-ives-predicts-nasdaq-at-25000-in-18-months-get-the-popcorn-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">주요 수혜자</a>가 될 것이라고 예측했다.
