A 2,000-year-old Egyptian mug, known as a Bes mug, was used to consume a potent concoction of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/psychedelics">psychedelic substances</a>, alcohol and human bodily fluids, according to new research. The <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-78721-8">study</a>, published in Scientific Reports, utilized advanced chemical and DNA analysis to uncover the complex composition of the mug&#8217;s last contents.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Mug And Its Mythical Connection</h4>
The artifact, housed at the Tampa Museum of Art, features the head of Bes, an Egyptian deity linked to protection, fertility and joy. During the Ptolemaic period (330–30 BCE), Bes also took on mystical and oracular roles, often associated with transformative rituals.
Researchers analyzed residues scraped from the inner walls of the mug and identified psychoactive substances such as Peganum harmala (Syrian rue) and Nymphaea caerulea (blue water lily). Syrian rue contains alkaloids like harmine and harmaline, known for inducing dream-like visions, while blue water lily is linked to mild sedative and euphoric effects.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ritual And Symbolism</h4>
Researchers said the mug was used in fertility-related rituals reenacting Egyptian myths. &#8220;These substances reveal the sophistication of ancient Egyptian ritual practices,&#8221; <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/ancient-egyptians-drank-cocktail-psychedelic-body-fluid-alcohol-1987914">said</a> study author Enrico Greco to Newsweek. &#8220;Their use highlights a deliberate attempt to connect with the divine through physical and spiritual transformation.&#8221;
In addition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/02/25568274/entheogens-and-plant-medicine-an-introduction">psychoactive plants</a>, the mixture contained fermented alcoholic liquids, honey, sesame seeds, pine nuts, licorice and grapes. Unexpectedly, the analysis also revealed proteins from human bodily fluids such as blood, vaginal mucus and breast milk, which Greco described as &#8220;highly symbolic elements emphasizing themes of life, fertility, and regeneration.&#8221;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Advanced Analysis Techniques</h4>
&#8220;This is the first comprehensive scientific analysis of a Bes mug&#8217;s organic residues,&#8221; explained Davide Tanasi, lead author from the University of South Florida. &#8220;For the first time, we were able to identify all the chemical signatures of the components of the liquid concoction.&#8221;
The study underscores the Egyptians&#8217; advanced understanding of natural resources and their effects on the human mind. &#8220;The identified substances likely induced dream-like visions, heightened meditative states, and possibly euphoria,&#8221; said Greco.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding Understanding Of Egyptian Rituals</h4>
The Bes mug was not merely decorative or utilitarian but played a critical role in complex ceremonial practices. The findings provide tangible evidence of how ancient Egyptians used psychotropic substances to achieve altered states of consciousness in rituals involving fertility, prophecy, and spiritual transformation.
&#8220;This study reveals that Bes mugs were more than decorative—they were integral to mystical and ritualistic practices,&#8221; Greco concluded.

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) is up 8% over the past 24 hours, gaining momentum as news of SEC Chairman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">Gary Gensler stepping down</a> sends bullish signals across the market.
What Happened: Gensler announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, which has been interpreted as a positive development for Ripple.
XRP's price surged 8% on Thursday, contributing to a 51% gain over the past week and a remarkable 120.2% increase over the past month.
This development is seen as a turning point for Ripple and its associated cryptocurrency, XRP, amid its ongoing legal battles with the SEC.
Statistics: CryptoQuant Korea observed a significant rise in XRP deposits on Binance, primarily driven by retail traders. 
This <a href="https://x.com/CryptoQuant_KR/status/1859383038028943864">marks</a> the end of an 18-month trend of consistent withdrawals. 
The 30-day moving average revealed a net inflow of 470 transactions, the highest influx in nearly two years.
Trader Notes: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez described Gensler's resignation as "the best thing that could happen to Ripple" and set a price target of $2 for XRP.

Nintendo ADR&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) Pokémon TCG Pocket, a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mobile-gaming"> mobile game</a> that combines the collectible card game experience with a free-to-play model, has made waves with its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming"> pricing structure. </a>
Gamer and Reddit user Weens4Life has shared how they spent $1,500 to complete the Genetic Apex set—a task that involved opening 1,741 booster packs to obtain all the cards, <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/pokmon-tcg-pocket-player-reveals-exactly-how-long-it-takes-to-complete-the-first-set-after-spending-1500">according </a>to IGN.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42046762/the-game-awards-2024-nominees-are-here-dlc-and-remakes-make-the-list">The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Are Here: DLC And Remakes Make The List</a>
The set, which contains 286 cards, includes 226 base cards and 60 alternate art &#8220;secret&#8221; cards that are much harder to get. While completing the base set of 226 cards cost about $200, collecting the alternate art cards was far more expensive. Weens4Life spent between $500 and $700 just to collect the final three alternate art cards.
&#8220;It was worth it to me,&#8221;said Weens4Life. But he added: &#8220;For future packs I will only be collecting the base set though.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Free-To-Play Grind</h3>
While the game is free to play, the rewards are not easy to come by. In the beginning, players receive many booster packs, but the amount drops off quickly. Eventually, players can only earn two packs per day during lulls between events. For players who want to progress faster, spending money is almost necessary.
Weens4Life used the Wonder Pick feature to get more cards, but this method offers only a 20% chance to pull a desired card, making it an unreliable choice. 
They ended up opening 8,582 packs, which included 129 Slowpoke cards and nine rare Mewtwo cards. Despite the large number of packs, they never pulled a "god pack," a rare event where players get a full set of the most coveted cards in one go.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future Sets And Continuous Content</h3>
Creatures Inc., the developer behind Pokémon TCG Pocket, plans to keep the game fresh with more card sets. The company has confirmed that a smaller card drop is coming in December, followed by a full set in January. 
This means that players who completed Genetic Apex will face another round of card collecting, and those still working through the set will have new cards to chase.
In its first three weeks, the game earned $120 million and had 30 million downloads<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/41725114/pok-mon-tcg-pocket-earns-12-million-in-four-days-fueled-by-u-s-downloads"> after just nine days. </a>

Donald Trump's election stoked anticipation of a looser regulatory landscape, benefiting the crypto ecosystem. 
Companies like MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), long synonymous with its audacious Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) strategy, is emerging as a key player in this evolving market. 
The company, which owns more than 150,000 Bitcoin, effectively operates as a leveraged bet on the cryptocurrency. Its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39045022/microstrategys-big-move-from-bitcoin-bet-to-russell-1000-inclusion">inclusion in equity indices</a> has quietly exposed countless institutional and retail investors to Bitcoin's wild price swings, even if they never intended to dabble in crypto.
As Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42107053/mstr-climbs-over-8-in-thursday-pre-market-as-bitcoin-approaches-98000-michael-saylors-company-has-more-than-doubled-the-investors-wealth-since-trumps-victory">rallied post-election</a> on optimism about regulatory clarity, MicroStrategy shares surged, highlighting the close correlation. 
Meanwhile, the broader crypto industry is buzzing with new ventures from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crypto Initiatives Gain Traction</h2>
JPMorgan Chase is currently <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/payments/payment-trends/introducing-kinexys">rebranding</a> its blockchain platform from Onyx to Kinexys, and aims to transform foreign exchange markets, according to Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, an analyst with the firm. 
Goldman Sachs is also carving out its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42047066/goldman-sachs-to-spin-out-digital-assets-platform-amid-blockchain-push">digital asset division</a> to expand private blockchain services. And BlackRock is doubling down with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39863203/blackrocks-buidl-tokenization-fund-hits-500m-in-assets-under-management">tokenized money market fund</a> on diverse blockchains, signaling a strategic shift.
These developments underline the growing institutional appetite for blockchain, from tokenized treasuries in El Salvador to cutting-edge trade finance solutions in Brazil.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MicroStrategy's Big Bet: A Tailwind Or A Trap?</h2>
MicroStrategy's role as a Bitcoin proxy has drawn mixed reactions. Some view it as a savvy way to capitalize on crypto's growth; others worry about overexposure to Bitcoin's volatility. Yet, as the Leveraged MicroStrategy ETF (Defiance Daily Target 2x Long MSTR ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mstx#NASDAQ">MSTX</a>) <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/11/12/2979763/0/en/MSTX-The-First-Leveraged-MicroStrategy-ETF-Surpasses-1-Billion.html">gains inflows</a> and demand for Bitcoin ETFs surges, the company's strategy looks increasingly prescient.
Panigirtzoglou, in a Thursday analyst report, highlighted a burgeoning trend: corporate treasuries are dipping their toes into Bitcoin as a reserve asset. If this is the start of a trend, MicroStrategy is ahead of the curve.
With Bitcoin at the heart of a post-election crypto surge, MicroStrategy's bold approach positions it as both a leader and a litmus test for the future of corporate crypto adoption. Whether it rides this wave to unprecedented highs or succumbs to volatility will depend as much on regulatory clarity as on the trajectory of Bitcoin itself.
In a rapidly transforming market, one thing is clear: MicroStrategy's &#8220;leveraged bet on Bitcoin&#8221; makes it a stock to watch in this new crypto-driven era.

FUTU

Futu Hldgs Unusual Options Activity

The explosive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">growth of ETFs</a> is reshaping the financial landscape, with assets under management now nearing the $15 trillion mark. 
In a recent analysis, JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou delves into the implications of this seismic shift, spotlighting how ETFs are redefining investor behavior, liquidity patterns, and even market risks. Here are his top 10 takeaways that every investor should know.
1. Retail Sentiment Is Driving Volatility Panigirtzoglou notes that the growing dominance of ETFs has made retail investors more influential in driving market sentiment. Unlike institutional investors, retail traders tend to have shorter time horizons, leading to sudden, amplified shifts in market trends when sentiment swings.
2. Longer Rallies, Sharper Corrections The analyst highlights how ETFs encourage momentum-driven markets, fueling prolonged rallies during bullish periods. However, during market reversals, the absence of active management safeguards can result in sharper corrections and increased volatility.

3. Big Money Flows Into Large-Caps Most ETFs are market-cap-weighted, which means they funnel disproportionate capital into large-cap stocks. Panigirtzoglou warns this trend could inflate valuations for mega-caps while crowding out smaller companies, risking capital misallocation.
Companies such as Nvidia Corp, Apple Inc, and Microsoft Corp each currently command over $3 trillion in market cap on the U.S. stock markets.
4. Liquidity Rushes to the Closing Bell As ETFs rebalance towards the end of trading sessions, liquidity has increasingly clustered during these periods. Around one-third of S&amp;P 500 trades now occur in the final 10 minutes of the day, Panigirtzoglou points out, creating a feedback loop of concentrated activity.
5. Concentrated Risks in a Few ETFs The rise of giant ETFs like the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) has introduced systemic risks. Panigirtzoglou argues that their scale and importance rival those of equity futures, making the market vulnerable to large, single-product flows.
6. Algorithmic Traders Are Thriving Bond ETFs, in particular, have bolstered electronic and algorithmic trading, says Panigirtzoglou. Non-bank market makers now dominate liquidity provision in fixed-income markets, capitalizing on high-volume, low-margin trades.
Popular bond ETFs, such as the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) and the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NYSE">BND</a>), are among the largest and most liquid bond market ETFs traded in the U.S.
7. Index Changes Have Outsized Effects Panigirtzoglou emphasizes how ETF-driven flows have magnified the impact of index rebalancing. Stocks entering major indices see outsized gains, while those removed face steeper declines than fundamentals might justify.
8. Corporate Governance Takes a Hit With passive funds dominating, Panigirtzoglou sees a decline in corporate activism. Unlike active managers, passive funds have little incentive to push for governance changes, which could diminish oversight.
9. Market Efficiency Is Declining The shift toward passive investing reduces opportunities for arbitrage, Panigirtzoglou argues, leading to more persistent mispricings. While this could lure active managers back, their ability to extract alpha has waned.
10. Passive Investing's Limit May Be Near Panigirtzoglou suggests there may be a natural ceiling for passive investing. If market inefficiencies grow too large, active managers could stage a comeback, attracting capital back from ETFs to actively managed funds.
The ETF revolution has undoubtedly democratized investing, but Panigirtzoglou warns that its rapid rise comes with unintended consequences. 
From concentrated liquidity to increased systemic risks, the landscape is evolving in ways that demand vigilance. 
As ETFs near the $15 trillion milestone, will passive dominance plateau, or is its impact just beginning?

What Happened: Nvidia stock is up 199% year-to-date in 2024 and could have more upside ahead according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42119226/nvidia-analysts-see-stock-best-positioned-in-ai-not-worried-about-guidance-all-systems-go-for-blackwell-ramp">analyst price targets </a>after the company's third-quarter beat and raised guidance.
Benzinga recently asked readers if any of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">Magnificent 7 stocks</a> could post stronger stock growth than Nvidia in the next year.
"In 2025, which Magnificent 7 stock could outpace Nvidia in growth?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>None – Nvidia will dominate: 48%</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): 27%</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): 8%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>): 7%</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): 6%</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): 3%</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): 2%</li>
</ul>
The poll found the near-majority predicting Nvidia will have the strongest growth in 2025 and dominate the Magnificent 7 stocks once again.
Coming in second place, and the stock that could have the best chance to pass Nvidia according to readers, was Tesla at 27%. This might not be a huge surprise given Tesla's five-year return is the next closest to Nvidia's when looking at the Magnificent 7 stocks.
Here are the current year-to-date and five-year returns of the Magnificent 7 stocks:
<ul>
<li>NVDA: YTD +199.1%, 5-Year +2,634.2%</li>
<li>TSLA: YTD +38.2%, 5-Year +1,446.2%</li>
<li>AMZN: YTD +31.3%, 5-Year +125.5%</li>
<li>META: YTD +61.3%, 5-Year +181.0%</li>
<li>GOOG: YTD +19.7%, 5-Year +158.0%</li>
<li>MSFT: YTD +11.4%, 5-Year +176.2%</li>
<li>AAPL: YTD +23.3%, 5-Year +249.7%</li>
</ul>
Perhaps most surprising in the poll was Apple finishing last despite having the third-best stock performance over the last five years.
Compare the returns above to the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, which is up 25.3% year-to-date and up 90.4% over the last five years.
Meanwhile, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>), which invests in the Magnificent Seven stocks, is up 55.7% year-to-date. The ETF has not been around for five years to track that performance.

Why It's Important: A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42093025/will-nvidia-deliver-a-blowout-beat-in-q3-poll-says-maybe-not-but-over-half-see-stock-clearing-150">recent Benzinga poll</a> asked readers to predict if Nvidia would beat, miss or meet earnings estimates in the third quarter.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Meets expectations: 45%</li>
<li>Blowout Beat: 42%</li>
<li>Misses expectations: 13%</li>
</ul>
The majority of Benzinga readers expected the company to meet or beat the estimates from analysts. While more readers expected the company to meet estimates, 42% believed the company would beat estimates Wednesday.
Benzinga readers also predicted what an earnings beat could mean for Nvidia stock going forward.
&#8220;If Nvidia shatters expectations, how high could its stock go by the end of 2024?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>$150 to $180: 55%</li>
<li>$180 to $200: 26%</li>
<li>Above $200: 18%</li>
</ul>
Nvidia shares traded down in after-hours Wednesday before reversing to the green in early Thursday trading. The stock is down 0.5% to $145.20 Thursday at the time of writing.

MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has experienced an extraordinary 674% increase in its stock price year-to-date in 2024, a rally driven by its massive Bitcoin holdings and the cryptocurrency&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42079799/microstrategys-michael-saylor-to-advocate-for-bitcoin-investment-at-microsoft-board-meeting-offers-to-educate-rumble-ceo-with-the-strategy">record-breaking performance this year</a>.
