XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) became the best-performing large-cap cryptocurrency Monday following the launch of Ripple Labs' USD-backed stablecoin RLUSD.
What happened: The payments-focused cryptocurrency rose 3.51% in the last 24 hours, outpacing the returns of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
With the latest push, XRP's monthly gains zoomed to 138%, the biggest among cryptocurrencies in the top 10 by market capitalization.
The rally was likely powered by significant buying interest from whale investors. Noted cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that whales purchased over 830 million XRP, worth over $2 billion at prevailing market prices.

The <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/SHIBUSD/technicals/">readings</a> of moving averages supported the coin&#8217;s bullish potential. XRP's price was greater than nearly all of its exponential moving averages and simple moving averages, indicating that investors&#8217; current expectations are higher than their average expectations over the past period.
However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages, flashed a ‘Sell' signal.&nbsp;
The Bull Bear Power indicator, used for measuring the strength of buyers and sellers in the market, was ‘Neutral" as of this writing.
Moreover. XRP's Open Interest, a measure of its speculative interest, rose 5.26% in the last 24 hours and nearly 450% since Nov. 5, the presidential election day, data from Coinglass revealed.
About 75% of all Binance traders with an open interest were positioned long on the asset, signaling the expectation of further upsides.
Why It Matters: Optimism around XRP was tied to several factors, with the most notable being the launch of RLUSD from Ripple, a payments company that uses XRP for its operations.
Ripple President Monica Long said Monday that the release marked a new chapter for the XRP Ledger, the blockchain technology powering Ripple's operations.

Precision Neuroscience has successfully raised $102 million in its latest funding round. This New York-based company is working on a brain-computer interface that allows users to control devices like smartphones and computers using their thoughts.
What Happened: The latest investment has increased Precision&#8217;s valuation to approximately $500 million, surpassing the $75 million raised by Synchron, another player in the BCI field, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/67187e59-a708-45e4-9112-7fd4e9b68e63">reported</a> the Financial Times.
Despite this, the industry is still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39728003/elon-musk-says-over-1-000-neuralink-chip-implantations-achievable-in-2026">largely dominated</a> by Elon Musk&#8217;s Neuralink, which has secured over $600 million in funding.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42499566/google-willow-nvidias-china-troubles-trump-on-ai-and-more-this-week-in-artificial-intelligence?itm_source=parsely-api">Google Willow, Nvidia&#8217;s China Troubles, Trump On AI, And More: This Week In Artificial Intelligence</a>
BCI devices leverage artificial intelligence to interpret brain signals and control computers. Neuralink has already implanted electrodes in two individuals, enabling them to play video games and use design software.
Precision&#8217;s device, temporarily used on 27 patients during neurosurgery, aims to offer a less invasive procedure.
Why It Matters: The BCI market is heating up with Neuralink setting ambitious goals. Musk has previously announced plans to achieve 1,000 brain chip implantations by 2026.
He has also previously indicated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41591053/elon-musk-says-neuralink-brain-implants-could-cost-as-little-as-an-apple-watch-we-do-have-a-game-pla">Neuralink&#8217;s brain implants</a> could eventually be as affordable as an Apple Watch, priced between $1,000 and $2,000.
Earlier this year it was reported that another Neuralink competitor, Paradromics, is also preparing for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39432738/elon-musks-neuralink-rival-paradromics-gears-up-for-human-trials-of-brain-implant">human trials of its brain implant</a>, aiming to facilitate high-speed communication with multiple neurons.

Elon Musk's Neuralink Faces Fierce Competition As Precision Neuroscience Raises $102 Million To Advance Thought-Controlled Devices

On Monday, OpenAI announced that it is extending the ChatGPT Search engine to all users, including those on the free tier. The AI search engine was initially launched for paid subscribers in October.
What Happened: As part of its latest announcement under the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42332451/sam-altman-teases-12-days-of-openai-christmas-magic-users-predict-unveiling-of-sora-o1-reasoning-model-and-more">12 Days of OpenAI</a>&#8221; Livestream, the AI startup also introduced an optimized version of the search feature for mobile users and the ability to search using advanced voice mode.
One of the key improvements for mobile search is the presentation of ChatGPT as a conventional search engine.
When users search for a specific location, such as restaurants or local attractions, ChatGPT will display a list of results with corresponding images, ratings, and hours of operation.

Another update aims to speed up ChatGPT search for specific types of sites, like &#8220;hotel booking websites.&#8221; Instead of immediately generating a response, ChatGPT will first present links to websites before providing more detailed information about each option.
ChatGPT can now also automatically provide real-time information from the web when using Advanced Voice Mode, although this feature is only available to paid users.

In previous livestreams, OpenAI also announced the launch of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42398825/sam-altman-calls-openais-new-video-generator-so-compelling">text-to-image model</a> Sora and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42356469/openai-unveils-200-chatgpt-pro-subscription-inside-the-o1-reasoning-model-and-what-it-means-for-power-users">$200 per month</a> ChatGPT Pro subscription.

In 2023, Google Search accounted for $175.0 billion, or 73.6%, of Alphabet&#8217;s total advertising revenue, which reached $237.9 billion.
ChatGPT Search and Google Search differ in purpose. ChatGPT provides personalized, context-aware responses through conversation, while Google quickly retrieves diverse content using relevance-focused algorithms.
Despite real-time search updates, ChatGPT lacks Google's depth and advanced capabilities. Similarly, despite AI Overviews in play, Google Search doesn&#8217;t offer users the convenience of conversational dialogues.
Meanwhile, Google also faces increased competition from Jeff Bezos-backed AI startup Perplexity. This AI-driven search engine has grown substantially, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entrepreneurship/24/08/40292703/perplexity-ais-revenue-usage-skyrocket-as-it-enters-into-advertising">250 million questions answered in July</a>, surpassing the 500 million queries it handled the previous year.

ChatGPT Search Goes Free: OpenAI Challenges Google's Unbroken Search Dominance

U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Monday that it has finalized a rule requiring new passenger vehicles to sound a warning if rear-seat passengers do not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40706822/nhtsa-closes-probe-into-1-3m-gm-vehicles-over-seat-belt-safety-concerns">use a seat belt</a> starting in Sept. 2027.
What Happened: The rule also requires enhanced warnings if front seat belts aren&#8217;t fastened, the agency said, while adding that it expects the new rule to prevent over 500 injuries and save about 50 lives per year once fully implemented. The new rule applies to passenger cars, trucks, buses, and multipurpose passenger vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds. 
Previously, the rule mandated a seat belt warning only for the driver&#8217;s seat. 
However, now, manufacturers need to issue enhanced seat belt warnings if front seat passengers are not strapped in starting from Sept. 1, 2026, and rear seat&nbsp;belt warnings starting Sept. 1, 2027.
Why It Matters: "While seat belt use has improved for decades, there's still more we can do to make sure everyone buckles up. These new requirements will help to increase seat belt use, especially for rear seat passengers, by enhancing reminders for vehicle occupants to buckle up,"&nbsp;NHTSA Chief Counsel Adam Raviv said. Passengers sitting in the front seats are more likely to don a seat belt than those in the rear seats, according to NHTSA. 
Seat belt warning systems use both visual and audible signals to urge passengers to wear seat belts. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41867551/tesla-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-social-media-promotion-of-fsd-technology-that-shows-disengaged-driver-behavior">per the agency</a>, about half of all passenger vehicle occupants who died in crashes in 2022 were not strapped in.

What Happened: &#8220;According to a post on the official Shiba Inu account, anyone holding 100,000 SHIB tokens and 100 Bubble (BUBBLE) tokens—the native cryptocurrency of the Imaginary Ones ecosystem, with which Shiba Inu launched the meme coin—will have access to approximately 22% of the supply
Additionally, 4% of the supply would be reserved&nbsp;for holders of Shib Games,&nbsp;Doge Killer (LEASH), Bone ShibaSwap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONE</a>), and Shiboshi &amp; Sheboshi non-fungible tokens.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) faces renewed scrutiny over its warehouse safety practices following a Senate investigation that claims the e-commerce giant manipulated injury data and prioritized speed over worker safety, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42501141/amazon-faces-strike-threat-over-labor-disputes-as-teamsters-push-for-fair-contract-ahead-of-crucial-holiday-season">allegations the company strongly disputes</a>.
What Happened: A 160-page report released on Sunday by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, found Amazon warehouses recorded 30% more injuries than the industry average in 2023, with workers nearly twice as likely to be injured compared to other warehouse employees.
&#8220;Amazon's self-assessment is disturbingly inaccurate and that the company operates uniquely dangerous warehouses—knowingly allowing unsafe conditions that injure workers and failing to fix those unsafe conditions if doing so could hurt the company's bottom line,&#8221; the report said. 
The investigation claims Amazon&#8217;s productivity quotas force workers to &#8220;move in unsafe ways&#8221; and repeat movements thousands of times per shift, leading to musculoskeletal disorders. The report also alleges the company &#8220;actively discourages&#8221; injured workers from seeking outside medical care.
Amazon sharply rejected these findings in a detailed response, stating the investigation &#8220;wasn&#8217;t a fact-finding mission, but rather an attempt to collect information and twist it to support a false narrative.&#8221; The company reports it reduced its recordable incident rate by 28% and lost time incident rate by 75% between 2019 and 2023.

Why It Matters: The company defended its safety benchmarking practices, noting its transportation-focused facilities recorded a recordable incident rate of 6.3 in 2023, below the industry average of 9.7. Amazon emphasized that increasing delivery speeds has coincided with decreasing injury rates across its network.
&#8220;Our safety record continues to improve,&#8221; Amazon stated, highlighting investments in ergonomic enhancements and climate-controlled facilities. The company maintains that its performance expectations are &#8220;reasonable and achievable,&#8221; based on actual team accomplishments.
Price Action: Amazon stock closed at $232.93 on Monday, up 2.40% for the day, with a slight after-hours drop. Year-to-date, the stock has risen 55.36%.
With a market cap of $2.45 trillion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 48.60, Amazon&#8217;s RSI is 72. The consensus price target is $244.36, with a high of $285 from JMP Securities and a low of $197 from Wells Fargo. The average target of $273.33 suggests a 17.51% upside, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bernie Sanders Accuses Amazon Of 'Uniquely Dangerous' Warehouse Conditions, E-Commerce Giant Says Senator's Premise Is 'Fundamentally Flawed'

MicroStrategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor said Monday that the incoming Donald Trump administration was serious about setting up a U.S. strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve.&nbsp;
What happened: During a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/12/16/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-with-microstrategy-ceo-michael-saylor.html">interview</a>, Saylor stressed the importance of "buying the future" if one knows where the money is going.
"All the capital outside the U.S. and all the 20th-century antiquated capital is going to flow into digital assets and the Bitcoin network," the Bitcoin bull said. "The logical thing for the U.S. is to buy it now and own the future."
He added that the government could buy as much as 20–25% of the Bitcoin network by selling its gold reserves or by borrowing a "small" amount of money.
"The Bitcoin network is going to go up by a factor of 100. You might as well buy it before ."
Saylor also urged the incoming administration to take the lead in establishing a digital assets framework, outlining clear definitions of different entities and fixing the responsibilities of participants.

Why It Matters: Saylor's remarks come amid reports of President-elect Trump exploring the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42505162/trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve">issuing an executive order to create</a> a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Last week, he also pledged to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42480856/donald-trump-pledges-to-do-something-great-with-crypto-heres-what-hes-done-so-far">"do something great with crypto</a>" when queried about plans for a national Bitcoin stockpile.
A bill has already been proposed by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wy.), called the BITCOIN Act, to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42080839/cynthia-lummis-says-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-could-take-shape-soon-after-trump-raises-his-hand-and-is-sworn-in">create a strategic reserve in Bitcoin</a> to support America's balance sheet and address its mounting debt, which topped $36 trillion this year.
The bill outlines a program to purchase 1 million BTCs, about 5% of Bitcoin's total supply, over a period of five years, with a minimum holding period of 20 years.
The purchase of this proportion could give further impetus to Bitcoin, already on a record-breaking run. This could in turn impart more volatility to MicroStrategy stock, which is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41567772/ahead-of-mag-7-earnings-season-michael-saylor-celebrates-bitcoin-proxy-microstrategys-reco">de facto Bitcoin proxy.</a>
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $106,604.85, up 1.80% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Serious About Bitcoin Reserve, Says MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor: 'Buy It Now And Own The Future'

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives predicts a major tech sector expansion driven by artificial intelligence and deregulation under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, forecasting the Nasdaq could reach 25,000 within 18 months.
What Happened: Speaking on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell,&#8221; Ives <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_u-8ZGNwwA">described</a> Trump&#8217;s incoming administration as a &#8220;Goldilocks scenario&#8221; for tech companies, citing expected regulatory relief from agencies including the Federal Trade Commission.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s get the popcorn out for what will be the AI revolution,&#8221; Ives said, emphasizing that the sector&#8217;s current surge is &#8220;just getting started.&#8221; He explained that AI&#8217;s multiplier effect is spreading across the technology landscape, impacting everything from software to cybersecurity infrastructure.
The analyst expects 80% to 90% of regulatory concerns to diminish under Trump, though some Department of Justice antitrust investigations into companies like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) will continue.

Why It Matters: Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) stands to gain the most through mergers and acquisitions, according to Ives, while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) emerges as the &#8220;biggest winner at the top of the mountain,&#8221; partly due to CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s early alignment with Trump.
Addressing current tech adoption, Ives noted that only 45% of workloads currently operate in cloud environments, predicting a dramatic increase as more AI use cases emerge. &#8220;It&#8217;s 10:00 p.m. in the AI party, and now the velvet ropes are open,&#8221; he said.
The forecast comes as multiple tech CEOs plan meetings with the president-elect in Palm Beach, signaling potentially closer cooperation between Silicon Valley and the incoming administration.
In January, Ives predicted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36445586/wedbushs-dan-ives-says-tech-stocks-will-be-up-25-in-2024-predicts-nasdaq-at-20k">Nasdaq would reach the 20,000 mark in 2024</a>, and his forecast has proven accurate, with the index now trading at 20,173.

Tesla Will Be The 'Biggest Winner' In The Trump Era, Says Dan Ives; Predicts Nasdaq At 25,000 In 18 Months: 'Get the Popcorn Out'

Influential economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;called Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) the biggest bubble ever on Monday, surpassing even the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s.
What Happened:&nbsp;Schiff, a staunch Bitcoin critic, expressed his views on the soaring valuation of the world&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency. He noted that the market capitalization of Bitcoin was over $2 trillion, which is higher than the combined market of around 400 dot-com companies at their peak before they went bankrupt. 
&#8220;Congratulations, Bitcoiners, on blowing the&nbsp;biggest bubble ever!&#8221; Schiff jabbed Bitcoin investors.

As is well known, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dot-com-bubble">dot-com bubble</a>&nbsp;was a period of rapid growth in U.S. technology stock equity valuations in the late 1990s, eventually bursting between 2001 and 2002. Several of the most hyped tech companies ended up going bankrupt, such as Pets.com, 360networks, and eToys.com, while the likes of Microsoft and Amazon weathered the storm.

Meta Arrives At $32 Million Settlement With Australia Over Cambridge Analytica Privacy Breach: Privacy Commissioner Labels It 'Largest Ever Payment'

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump reportedly met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, as the company seeks intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent a looming ban.
What Happened: TikTok has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a law that could ban the app by Jan. 19.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the TikTok Policy account said that the Supreme Court has a strong history of protecting Americans&#8217; right to free speech.
&#8220;We are asking the Court to do what it has traditionally done in free speech cases: apply the most rigorous scrutiny to speech bans and conclude that it violates the First Amendment.&#8221;
The post also highlighted the potential economic impact, estimating significant revenue losses for small businesses and creators if the app is banned.

On the same day, Trump, who previously attempted to ban TikTok during his presidency, expressed a favorable view of the app, noting its popularity among young voters.
&#8220;We'll take a look at TikTok,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok.&#8221; His meeting with the TikTok CEO was <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/16/tiktok-asks-supreme-court-to-block-us-ban-pending-appeal.html">confirmed</a> by NBC News.

What Happened: The world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency broke beyond $107,000 for the first time this afternoon before profit-taking brought it back to $105,000, with a modest increase to $106,000 by evening.
The sentiment was upbeat following reports that President-elect Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42505162/trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve">might pass an executive order</a> to create a national Bitcoin stockpile.
Bitcoin was already up 9.11% in December, higher than the historical <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/today">average </a>of 5.75%, per Coinglass data.
A similar pattern followed for Ethereum, which failed to decisively break over $4,000 and fell to the upper $3,900 range.
In the past 24 hours, 119,098 traders were liquidated, with the total liquidations at $371.44 million. Longs accounted for 60% of the liquidations.
Over 61% of traders on Binance with open Bitcoin futures positions were short, as per the Long/Short Ratio, suggesting expectations of a pullback.
A rally to $110,000 would wipe out over $500 million worth of short positions, data showed.&nbsp;
The bearish positioning could be due to the "Extreme Greed" sentiment in the market, per the Cryptocurrency Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Stocks were a mixed bag on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for the eighth consecutive day, dropping 110.58 points, or 0.25%, to close at 43,717.48. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.38% to 6,074.08, while the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.24% to close at a record high of 20,173.89.

The rally came just ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee's two-day meeting to decide on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">benchmark interest rates</a>.

Analyst Notes: Well-known cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez sent a cautionary note to investors amid Bitcoin's upsurge.
"I'm holding tight to my HODL bag, but my trading account is 30% cash as market sentiment around Bitcoin hits &#8216;extreme greed&#8217;—a cautionary red flag," the analyst remarked.&nbsp;

Another widely followed analyst, Michaël van de Poppe, foresaw a "ton of volatility" in the market due to the upcoming Fed meeting.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Settle Down Amid Growing Talks Of A Strategic BTC Reserve: Top Analyst Sees Prospect Of Apex Crypto Hitting $110K This Week

Jim Cramer cautioned investors about Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) on Monday, predicting a potential market correction for the semiconductor giant that has seen its value surge 174% this year.
What Happened: &#8220;Still no crescendo moment in Nvidia. It will happen, just not yet&#8230;.the reversal will be vicious though&#8230;.and fast,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer wrote on X, formerly Twitter, as the stock declined 1.68% to close at $132.00.

The warning comes as Nvidia faces heightened scrutiny in China, where authorities launched an antitrust investigation last week into the company&#8217;s 2020 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies. 
The probe examines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42404352/nvidia-china-antitrust-probe-may-remain-unsolved-in-near-term-says-top-analyst-investors-should-be-prepared-for-increased-scrutiny">potential anti-competitive practices</a>, including whether Nvidia limits competition by bundling its AI chips with Mellanox&#8217;s NVLink technology.

Why It Matters: TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the investigation to remain unresolved in the near term, drawing parallels to Qualcomm Inc.&#8216;s 15-month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42404352/nvidia-china-antitrust-probe-may-remain-unsolved-in-near-term-says-top-analyst-investors-should-be-prepared-for-increased-scrutiny">antitrust case in China</a>. 
While China represents only 5% of Nvidia&#8217;s data center revenue, Kuo advised investors to prepare for increased regulatory scrutiny of Nvidia&#8217;s practices, including its CUDA platform.
The investigation emerges as Nvidia maintains its dominance in the AI chip market, recently reporting third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, a 94% year-over-year increase. With a market capitalization of $3.21 trillion, Nvidia stands as one of the world&#8217;s most valuable companies, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 53.
Wall Street maintains a bullish outlook, with 40 analysts setting an average price target of $170.56. Rosenblatt Securities leads with the highest target of $220, while New Street Research projects a low of $120, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Friday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
PaxMedica&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pxmd-stock-quote/">PXMD</a>) stock is rocketing higher on Friday after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/paxmedica-achieves-key-milestone-in-the-development-of-pax-101-and-provides-update-on">reached a key milestone</a> in drug development.



The big news here is the company securing three pivotal registration/validation batches of PAX-101. The company says that this is a key milestone in its plans for a New Drug Application (NDA) set for Q4 2024.



Investors are celebrating this news as it puts PAX-101 one step closer to approval from the Food and Drug Administration&nbsp;(FDA). If approved, it would be the first first and only form of suramin for the treatment of Stage 1 Human African Trypanosomiasis.



<h2>What&rsquo;s Next for PXMD Stock?</h2>



Howard Weisman, chairman and CEO of&nbsp;PaxMedica, said the following about the company&rsquo;s next plan for PAX-101.




&ldquo;The long-term vision for PaxMedica is to further clinical investigation of PAX-101 as a treatment for individuals who struggle with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With this important manufacturing milestone completed, we have removed a major impediment to testing PAX-101 as a treatment for the core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder.&rdquo;




All of this news brings with it heavy trading of PXMD stock this morning. That has more than 5 million shares changing hands as of this writing. That&rsquo;s quite the leap over its daily average trading volume of about 240,000 shares.



PXMD stock is up 92.7% as of Friday morning.

Why Is PaxMedica (PXMD) Stock Up 93% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Allarity Therapeutics&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/allr-stock-quote/">ALLR</a>) stock is heading higher on Friday alongside heavy pre-market trading.



Investors will note that this movement comes after the company <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=90423&amp;ref=318229974&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=ALLR&amp;cdn=994a98b62336e93eb05e904c271966d1&amp;companyName=Allarity+Therapeutics+Inc.&amp;formType=424B5&amp;formDescription=Prospectus+%5BRule+424%28b%29%285%29%5D&amp;dateFiled=2024-04-11">announced a prospectus supplement</a>. This alters the maximum aggregate offering price of shares sold through prospectus from $1,350,000 to $2,350,000.



Allarity Therapeutics notes that it currently has 828,580 shares outstanding with a value of $7,092,593. The amendment mentions that the company has sold $1,348,908 worth of its shares and is eligible to sell $1,015,290 more.



<h2>ALLR Stock Movement Today</h2>



The heavy pre-market trading has more than 2.8 million shares of the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company&rsquo;s stock changing hands. That&rsquo;s well above its daily average trading volume of about 59,000 shares.



Investors will also note that ALLR stock is up 41.3% as of Friday morning. Even so, the shares closed out Thursday down 78.9% since the start of the year.



Another thing to note is that ALLR is a penny stock. This comes from its low daily average trading volume, prior closing price of $2.30 per share and market capitalization of only $1.0821.082. All of these make it a risky investment.

Why Is Allarity Therapeutics (ALLR) Stock Up 41% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Motus GI&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mots-stock-quote/">MOTS</a>) stock is falling on Friday following a warning that the medical technology company is in danger of being delisted.



Motus GI <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=90423&amp;ref=318230488&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=MOTS&amp;cdn=84b00af3974179838345280e52876622&amp;companyName=Motus+GI+Holdings+Inc.&amp;formType=8-K&amp;formDescription=Current+report+pursuant+to+Section+13+or+15%28d%29&amp;dateFiled=2024-04-11">got a delisting notice</a> from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Exchange on April 5. In that notice, the company was warned about a potential delisting due to its low shares price.



Shares of MOTS stock have been trading for less than $1 each for over 30 business days. That has the company not complying with the minimum bid to remain listed on the exchange.



On that same note, Motus GI has enacted reverse stock splits with a ratio of 250 shares or more to one over the last year. That makes it ineligible for a compliance period to regain the $1 minimum bid.



<h2>What This Means for MOTS Stock</h2>



Motus GI has until today to request a hearing with the Nasdaq Exchange to try and avoid delisting. However, the company doesn&rsquo;t believe it can regain compliance and is choosing not to seek a hearing.



As a result, shares of MOTS stock will stop trading on the Nasdaq Exchange when markets open on Tuesday. This will result in its shares switching over to the OTC Pink Market of the OTCMarkets. It intends to apply for listing on the OTCQB.



Finally, Motus GI says it is exploring a range of strategic options. Its doing so to maximize shareholder value while speeding up the commercialization of its Pure-Vu System.



MOTS stock is down 37.1% as of Friday morning.

Why Is Motus GI (MOTS) Stock Down 37% Today?

Applied Digital&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/apld-stock-quote/">APLD</a>) stock is falling on Friday following the release of the data center company&rsquo;s earnings report for its fiscal third quarter of 2024.



The bad news for APLD stockholders starts with the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/applied-digital-reports-fiscal-third-200500599.html">adjusted earnings per share of -24 cents</a>. That&rsquo;s much worse than the -7 cents per share that Wall Street was expecting. It&rsquo;s also a significant setback compared to the -1 cent per share from the same period of the year prior.



Also not helping matters is Applied Digital&rsquo;s revenue of $43.35 million in fiscal Q3 2024. That&rsquo;s another miss next to analysts&rsquo; revenue estimate of $51.92 million. This is despite it increasing 208% year-over-year from $14.09 million.



Wes Cummins, chairman and CEO of Applied Digital, said this in the earnings report.




&ldquo;During the quarter, Applied Digital encountered several challenges that impacted our financial performance due to facility power outages in our datacenter hosting business. Despite these short-term setbacks, we made significant progress with our key growth initiatives in the development of our Cloud Services business and the establishment of our special purpose built 100 MW HPC datacenter in Ellendale.&rdquo;




<h2>APLD Stock Movement Today</h2>



Investors aren&rsquo;t happy about these latest earnings results from Applied Digital. That has shares of APLD stock falling 5.5% as of Friday morning. That builds on a 55.9% decrease year-to-date as of Thursday&rsquo;s close.



With today&rsquo;s drop in price comes roughly 216,000 shares of APLD stock changing hands. That&rsquo;s well below its daily average trading volume of about 3.5 million shares.
