The Securities and Exchange Commission clarified its position on cryptocurrency mining activities Thursday, asserting that they do not fall under federal securities laws.
What Happened: The SEC&#8217;s Division of Corporation Finance stated that proof-of-work mining activities, which involve using computational resources to validate blockchain transactions and getting rewarded, do not involve the offer&nbsp;and sale of securities. As a result, participants in these activities are not obligated&nbsp;to register transactions with the&nbsp;Commission under the Securities Act&nbsp;
The SEC&#8217;s perspective applied to two categories:&nbsp;self (or solo) mining on a PoW network, and mining pools, which combine computational resources to increase their chances of validating transactions.
Notably, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is the world's largest PoW network, followed by Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) respectively.

Why It Matters: This statement from the SEC comes on the heels of a series of cryptocurrency-friendly measures introduced by the regulator.
Last month, it clarified that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/44032560/memecoins-like-trump-dogecoin-pepe-not-securities-says-the-sec-but-fraud-related-to-offer-and-sale-subject-to-enforcement">meme coins do not fall under the purview of federal securities laws</a>, although fraudulent activities involving them could still face legal consequences.
Earlier this week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that the<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44398151/ripple-ceo-announces-victory-as-sec-drops-appeal-in-xrp-lawsuit"> SEC dropped its appeal</a> in the XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) lawsuit, marking the end of a four-year legal battle. This was seen as a significant development for the crypto industry, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44398151/ripple-ceo-announces-victory-as-sec-drops-appeal-in-xrp-lawsuit">Benzinga</a>.
The SEC has granted <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43883117/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-says-sec-has-agreed-to-end-bogus-enforcement-case-without-penalties">similar relief</a> to cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase, Robinhood Markets&#8217; cryptocurrency operations, Gemini, and decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Uniswap, aligning with President Donald Trump&#8217;s promise of fostering growth in the sector.
Price Action: Shares of Coinshares Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WGMI#NASDAQ">WGMI</a>), which provides exposure to public Bitcoin mining companies, closed 1.45% lower at $14.98 during Thursday&#8217;s regular trading session.

Bitcoin Mining Activities Don't Breach Federal Securities Laws: SEC Clarifies Participants Need Not Register Transactions

On Thursday, Anthropic, backed by Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google, announced that its Claude chatbot can now search the internet, bringing it in line with competitors like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Mistral's Le Chat.
What Happened: The feature, currently in preview for paid users in the U.S., is available via Claude 3.7 Sonnet—the company's most advanced model.
Users can enable web search through profile settings in the Claude web app.

"When Claude incorporates information from the web into its responses, it provides direct citations so you can easily fact-check sources," Anthropic said in a blog post. "Instead of finding search results yourself, Claude processes and delivers relevant sources in a conversational format."
Why It&#8217;s Important: The move marks a shift from Anthropic's earlier stance that Claude should be "self-contained." While web results were previously off-limits, competitive pressure appears to have changed that.
Anthropic's challenge now is to offer relevance without sacrificing accuracy.

Anthropic Just Gave Claude Web Search Powers—Here's What It Means For AI Chatbot Wars Against ChatGPT, Gemini, And Mistral

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang and Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) CEO Chuck Robbins described unprecedented global enthusiasm for artificial intelligence development, with national leaders recognizing AI as a strategic priority.
What Happened: &#8220;In no initiative and no foundational technology that I&#8217;ve ever known since the internet has the world and the leaders realized the importance of artificial intelligence to them,&#8221; Huang said, in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/20/nvidia-ceo-and-cisco-ceo-discuss-the-global-outlook-on-the-ai-arms-race.html">interview</a> with CNBC. 
Robbins expressed confidence in the President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s commitment to maintaining American AI dominance despite concerns about potential tariff impacts on semiconductor imports. 
&#8220;Based on the conversations I&#8217;ve had with the administration&#8230;they want to protect that lead, and they want us to win,&#8221; Robbins said. &#8220;I believe that their policies that they&#8217;re going to implement will ensure that happens.&#8221;
The comments come amid intensifying U.S.-China competition in AI development. The Trump administration recently backed &#8220;Stargate,&#8221; a $500 billion private-sector initiative involving OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle Corp. to build massive data centers in Texas, while simultaneously facing competition from Chinese firms like DeepSeek that are making technological advances despite U.S. export <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43420092/as-easy-as-it-can-be-trump-promises-ai-giants-support-with-500b-investment-plan-how-does-it-compare-with-deepseek">controls on advanced semiconductors</a>.

Why It Matters: The administration is also reviewing AI regulatory approaches following <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44300525/sam-altmans-openai-urges-trump-administration-for-rapid-ai-advancement-and-reduced-regulation">proposals from companies like OpenAI</a>, which has urged reduced regulation and highlighted potential threats from Chinese AI technology. High-level meetings between tech executives and Trump have included Michael Dell of Dell Technologies Inc., which projects its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44269039/michael-dell-joins-trump-elon-musk-for-high-stakes-ai-talks-as-dell-eyes-15-billion-in-server-business">AI server business</a> to reach $15 billion in fiscal year 2026.
Cisco and Nvidia announced a partnership to deliver AI technology to enterprises with new infrastructure. According to Huang, AI has &#8220;reinvented the entire computing stack&#8221; and requires a complete overhaul of enterprise systems. &#8220;We need to go and rerack the whole world&#8217;s companies,&#8221; Huang said.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Cisco's Chuck Robbins Tout AI's Global Impact: Trump 'Want Us To Win'

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers warned on Thursday that President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies are creating a &#8220;self-inflicted wound&#8221; on the U.S. economy, pushing inflation up while threatening growth.
What Happened: &#8220;We should be focused on the fact that we had a shock that pushed inflation up and growth down. That&#8217;s a bad supply shock, a self-inflicted wound,&#8221; Summers wrote on X. &#8220;It tells us that policy is moving in the wrong direction. It&#8217;s a shot against the bow of the Donald Trump tariff policies.&#8221;
Summers highlighted that the Federal Reserve now views the economic landscape as &#8220;more uncertain and more problematic&#8221; for achieving its dual mandate of stable prices and maximum employment. His comments come as the central bank held interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.5% while maintaining a forecast of two potential rate cuts in 2025.

Why It Matters: The tariff situation has revived debate over inflation expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell described potential tariff-driven inflation as &#8220;transitory&#8221; – a term that drew criticism from senior economist Mohamed El-Erian, who called it a &#8220;big policy mistake&#8221; reminiscent of the Fed&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44410479/federal-reserve-brings-back-transitory-inflation-amid-tariff-war-economist-mohamed-el-erian-calls-it-a-big-policy-mistake">misjudgment in the early 2020s</a>.
&#8220;I would have thought that, particularly after the big policy mistake of earlier this decade and given all the current uncertainties, some Fed officials would show greater humility,&#8221; El-Erian said, noting businesses and consumers still remember the recent period of &#8220;high unanticipated inflation.&#8221;
This comes as economist David Rosenberg warned of a potential recession as early as July, pointing to the Fed&#8217;s projected 4.4% unemployment rate for 2025 – a significant increase from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44415047/recession-will-rear-its-ugly-head-as-early-as-july-warns-expert-amid-two-rate-cuts-projected-for-2025-buy-bonds-on-dips">cycle low of 3.4% seen in April 2023</a>.
Meanwhile, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has slashed North America&#8217;s growth forecasts, projecting Mexico could face a 1.3% economic contraction while Canada&#8217;s growth may slow sharply to 0.7%. The organization cited escalating tariffs, persistent inflation, and policy uncertainty as key factors threatening <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44360564/trumps-tariffs-could-fuel-inflation-in-canada-mexico-warns-economic-expert">regional economic stability</a>.

Kevin O'Leary, also known as "Mr. Wonderful," didn't hold back after Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn) took a swipe at Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) declining stock.
What Happened: During an event on Tuesday, Walz joked that he gets "a boost" when checking Tesla's stock and seeing it down—an apparent dig at Elon Musk's increasingly close ties with the Donald Trump administration.

However, the remark didn't sit well with "Shark Tank" star and investor O'Leary, who slammed the governor in a CNN segment. "That poor guy didn't check his portfolio and his own pension plan for the state," he said.

"What's the matter with that guy? He doesn't check the well-being of his own constituents?" O'Leary added. "What a bozo."

Tesla shares have struggled in recent months, down 37.71% year to date.&nbsp;
Earlier this week, a report highlighted a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44410602/elon-musks-tesla-faces-1-4-billion-discrepancy-in-capital-expenditure-report">$1.4 billion discrepancy</a> in Tesla&#8217;s capital expenditure, which has contributed to a significant drop in its market valuation from $1.7 trillion to under $800 billion.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has urged Musk to reaffirm his commitment to the company and <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44416941/top-analyst-urges-elon-musk-to-do-these-2-things-to-restore-investor-confidence-in-tesla">address concerns</a> over vehicle demand and pricing.
Despite these challenges, investors like Cathie Wood continue to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44429127/cathie-wood-bets-on-elon-musks-tesla-despite-cybertruck-recall-dumps-zuckerbergs-meta-shares-again">show confidence</a> in Tesla, with Ark Invest recently acquiring additional shares even amidst a recall of over 46,000 Cybertrucks.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s shares surged 0.17% during Thursday&#8217;s regular trading session, closing at $236.26. However, in after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.51% to $235.06.

Kevin O'Leary Blasts Tim Walz's Dig At Tesla Stock — He's Mocking A Company His Own Pension Fund Invests In

Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas said on Thursday that &#8220;Perplexity will make Apple Intelligence work,&#8221; responding to a social media post suggesting the artificial intelligence startup should replace Siri on iPhones.
What Happened: The comment comes as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) faces mounting criticism over its delayed AI initiatives and reported internal turmoil surrounding its Siri virtual assistant.
Apple&#8217;s AI efforts have reached what Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman described as a &#8220;crisis&#8221; point, with key executives including CEO Tim Cook, software chief Craig Federighi, and AI lead John Giannandrea reportedly sharing blame for failing to deliver promised features.

The move follows admissions from Siri division senior director Robby Walker, who called the delays &#8220;ugly and embarrassing,&#8221; blaming premature marketing for <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44345486/apple-scrambles-to-fix-siris-ugly-and-embarrassing-ai-failures-after-public-missteptop-executive-admits-marketing-it-too-soon-made-things-worse">features that weren&#8217;t ready</a>.

Perplexity Can Make 'Apple Intelligence Work' Says CEO Aravind Srinivas As iPhone Maker Attracts Criticism On Siri And AI Delays

A former sound engineer for Grammy award-winning rapper&nbsp;Eminem&nbsp;has been accused of leaking and selling the artist&#8217;s unreleased music for thousands in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: Joseph Strange, a 46-year-old from Holly, Michigan, has been identified as the person violating copyright laws through the sale of unreleased music of Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, according to an affidavit by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday.
Strange had been employed at Eminem&#8217;s studio in Ferndale, Michigan, for a period of fourteen years, but was let go in 2021. 
The FBI said it searched Strange&#8217;s residence and seized evidence, including hard drives that contained copies of the unreleased music. The agency located several people who purchased the music from Strange, including one &#8220;Doja Rat,&#8221; who paid $50,000 in Bitcoin for approximately 25 songs. Doja Rat also said that Strange is heavily involved in Bitcoin.

The illicit leaks and sales came to light in January, when current employees at Eminem&#8217;s studio stumbled upon his music being played on online platforms, such as Reddit and YouTube. Recognizing&nbsp;the music as unreleased versions, they&nbsp;reported it to the FBI.
The leaked tracks were played, shared, or sold online without the knowledge or approval of Eminem or&nbsp;the Interscope Capital Labels Group,&nbsp;the rights holder of Eminem&#8217;s music, the FBI said. The charges against Strange were brought by&nbsp;the U.S. Attorney's Office for&nbsp;the Eastern District of Michigan.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $84,640.90, down 1.67% 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>.

Eminem's Unreleased Music Allegedly Sold Online By Ex-Sound Engineer For $50,000 In Bitcoin

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to correct an error in Tesla&#8217;s price action.
On Thursday night, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) abruptly scheduled an all-hands meeting. The event was set to begin at 9:30 p.m. ET, but it didn't start until 9:58 p.m. ET.
What Happened: The presentation started with Tesla CEO Elon Musk praising the company's workforce. "Some of the finest people in the world work at Tesla, designing and manufacturing our incredible products. Thanks to you for everything you are doing, well done."
He then outlined key milestones achieved by the company, announcing that Tesla has now produced over 7 million vehicles globally. Looking ahead, Musk projected that Tesla will surpass the 10 million vehicle mark next year.
Musk went on to add that both manufacturing and servicing vehicles require overcoming significant challenges, but despite occasional turbulence, the future is "incredibly bright."

The Tesla CEO outlined his vision for a future of "sustainable abundance," underscoring the role of solar energy, battery storage, and AI in creating a world where resources are plentiful without compromising nature.
He reiterated Tesla's broader ambitions, including space travel and colonization of Mars.
Musk then highlighted Tesla's ongoing success, noting that Model Y became the best-selling vehicle in the world. He also celebrated Cybertruck's rapid rise as the top-selling electric pickup, Tesla's position as Europe's best-selling EV brand, and the company's growing presence in international markets, including Lithuania, Chile, and the Philippines.&nbsp;
&#8220;If you read the news, It feels like Armageddon,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I can&#8217;t walk past the TV without seeing a Tesla on fire.&#8221;
Musk praised the upgraded Model 3 and reaffirmed the Cybertruck's five-star safety rating. He also defended the Tesla Semi factory, which some critics had dismissed as unfeasible.&nbsp;
He also pointed out that some investors, like ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood, have already recognized the disruptive potential of Tesla's autonomous future. "What I am saying is, hang on to your stock."
Musk praised Tesla's extensive Supercharger network, which now allows seamless road trips across the U.S., Europe, China, and Australia. He said that Tesla's battery life is designed to exceed human endurance, stating, "The battery will last longer than your bladder—just plug in when you take a restroom break, grab a coffee, and you're back on the road."
He also said that Tesla&#8217;s Dojo supercomputer is making significant progress, with the Dojo first-generation now fully operational at Gigafactory New York and Palo Alto. The system is actively handling AI training workloads, currently accounting for approximately 5%—and nearing 10%—of Tesla's total AI training.
The company plans to introduce a more advanced version, expected to be "ten times" more powerful.
Musk then touted the rapid development of Optimus.
"Optimus has gone from an idea to the most sophisticated humanoid robot on Earth. There's nothing close to its level of sophistication," Musk said. He credited Tesla's expertise in AI, electric motors, batteries, and large-scale manufacturing as key factors enabling Optimus to be mass-produced at an affordable price.

Why It Matters: Earlier in the night, Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-springs-last-minute-public-all-hands-on-staffers-2025-3">reported</a> that Tesla employees were caught off guard as they were given little notice.

The confusion only deepened when Tesla posted a livestream link ahead of the meeting, only to abruptly take it down about 30 minutes later.
The EV giant restarted the livestream shortly before the scheduled 9:30 p.m. ET start time, but it remained silent for at least 30 minutes. Musk tweeted a link to the event at 9:45 p.m. ET.
Price Action: Tesla's stock gained 0.17% on Thursday's regular session, closing at $236.26. In after-hours trading, it dropped 0.51%, reaching $235.06. Year-to-date, the company's shares have dropped 37.71%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Elon Musk Says 'Hang On To Your Stock' In Surprise Late-Evening Tesla All-Hands Meeting — Touts 7 Million EVs, Optimus Robot, And AI Supercomputer Dojo (CORRECTED)

Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) meme coin woke up from slumber, skyrocketing over 70% Thursday, after tech mogul Elon Musk posted a photo referencing the cartoon character.
What happened: The Ethereum (CRYPTO)-based cryptocurrency jumped 75% in the last 24 hours, while its trading volume soared 197% to $18.73 million. Another popular frog-themed token, Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>), also spiked nearly 7%, defying losses in the larger meme coins.
The rally followed Musk&#8217;s X post, which featured a DOGE plaque on an office desk, a &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; cap, and, more importantly, a framed photo of &#8220;Kekius Maximus&#8221; in the background.

Kekius Maximus—a combination of &#8220;Pepe the Frog&#8221; and "Maximus Decimus Meridius," the iconic character from the movie &#8220;Gladiator,&#8221; shot to prominence after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42739155/elon-musk-changes-his-name-to-kekius-maximus-on-x-sending-to-memecoin-skyrocketing-over-600">Musk used it as his X profile name</a> on Dec. 31, 2024. The meme coin accumulated millions in market capitalization.

However, the gains were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42758291/elon-musks-return-to-original-x-avatar-causes-coin-themed-on-kekius-maximus-to-crash-90-frog-themed-pepe-slips-as-well">swiftly erased</a> after Musk returned to his old avatar.

Price Action: At the time of writing, KEKIUS was exchanging hands at $0.02871, up 75.08% 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>. PEPE traded at $0.000007704, up 6.97%.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading.

Elon Musk's New X Post Sends Kekius Maximus Soaring 75%—Frog-Themed Pepe Also Rallies

Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, highlighted Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) struggling Cybertruck sales in a recent social media post, noting figures significantly below company projections.
What Happened: &#8220;Tesla has sold only 47k Cybertrucks total according to the recall notice. This is really bad for a product that was supposed to sell 250k units a year,&#8221; Gerber wrote Thursday on X.
His comments followed Tesla&#8217;s announcement of a recall affecting 46,096 Cybertruck vehicles due to safety concerns with the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44414187/elon-musks-tesla-recalls-over-46000-cybertrucks-due-to-safety-concerns">stainless-steel exterior trim panel that could detach</a> while driving. Tesla service centers will replace the rail assembly at no cost to owners.
This recall adds to mounting challenges for the electric vehicle manufacturer, which has faced multiple Cybertruck callbacks since its launch. Earlier this month, Tesla halted deliveries after reports of metal panels detaching in cold weather. According to BizzyCar, Tesla <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44414187/elon-musks-tesla-recalls-over-46000-cybertrucks-due-to-safety-concerns">accounted for 21% of all U.S. vehicle</a> recalls in the first three quarters of 2024.

Why It Matters: The production setbacks come amid broader concerns about Tesla&#8217;s direction. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives recently urged CEO Elon Musk to formally reaffirm his commitment to Tesla and outline clear plans for upcoming vehicle launches to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44416941/top-analyst-urges-elon-musk-to-do-these-2-things-to-restore-investor-confidence-in-tesla">restore investor confidence</a>.
Tesla&#8217;s brand image has also suffered following Musk&#8217;s increased political activities, including his role in the Department of Government Efficiency in President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. Protests have occurred at Tesla showrooms nationwide, with Gerber himself sharing footage of demonstrations <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350195/ross-gerber-shares-peaceful-display-of-distaste-for-elon-musk-in-santa-monica-his-9-year-old-observes-glad-we-dont-have-a-tesla">outside a Santa Monica location</a>.
Tesla shares have declined nearly 50% since mid-December, with JPMorgan Chase analysts warning Wednesday that Tesla has &#8220;lost too much brand value too quickly&#8221; and could face its lowest <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42030213/bdl-shares-down-3-after-q2-but-analyst-expects-over-40-surge-ahead">quarterly deliveries since 2022</a>.

What Happened: Bitcoin breached $86,000 in early trading hours but reversed course shortly, plunging to a low of $83,647.19.&nbsp;
Ethereum too failed to build momentum after breaching $2,000, retreating to the upper $1,900 range.

Analyst Notes: Popular on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted that the Bitcoin Bull Score Index has dropped to a two-year low of 20, signaling a broader bearish trend rather than a short-term correction.
"Historically, Bitcoin has only sustained major price rallies when the Bull Score is above 60," CryptoQuant stated.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX and Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom Fund, however, spotted a "good sign" for BTC.&nbsp;
"My custom U.S. bank credit supply index is trending higher. Doesn't mean we are done dumping but the odds are shifting more bullish," Hayes predicted.
The index, which is the sum of banking reserves held at the Federal Reserve and other deposits and liabilities, tracks liquidity injection in the risk-on market.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Erase Gains Even As Trump Reiterates 'Crypto Capital' Pledge: Arthur Hayes Says 'Odds Are Shifting More Bullish' For BTC

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has been facing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44345486/apple-scrambles-to-fix-siris-ugly-and-embarrassing-ai-failures-after-public-missteptop-executive-admits-marketing-it-too-soon-made-things-worse">mounting pressure from investors</a> and competitors. On Thursday, CEO Tim Cook reportedly reshuffled its AI leadership to revive the struggling Siri assistant and catch up in the generative AI race.
What Happened: Apple has moved Mike Rockwell — the executive behind the Vision Pro headset — into a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44350512/apples-ai-crisis-reaches-boiling-point-ahead-of-top-100-executive-retreat-tim-cook-and-key-execs-called-out-over-siri-failure-by-top-analyst">leadership role overseeing Siri</a>, pulling the virtual assistant out from under AI chief John Giannandrea's control, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-20/apple-vision-pro-chief-mike-rockwell-named-siri-head-giannandrea-keeps-ai-role?srnd=undefined">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.&nbsp;
Rockwell will now report to Craig Federighi, Apple's senior VP of software engineering, while Giannandrea retains oversight of other AI research initiatives.

The shift follows months of delays and missed deadlines for Apple Intelligence. Internally, Apple managers described the situation as ugly, with developers uncertain about when key features will ship.
These setbacks reportedly caused Cook to lose confidence in Giannandrea's ability to execute.

Why It's Important: The leadership shake-up signals Apple's new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44068020/apples-ai-crisis-falling-behind-in-the-ai-race">direction to turn around its AI performance</a>, especially as rivals like Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and OpenAI surge ahead.
Apple&#8217;s AI missteps coincide with a 12.20% year-to-date stock decline as the company navigates broader market challenges.
Last week, Morgan Stanley flagged concerns about Apple&#8217;s AI delay, lowering its price <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44284821/apple-stock-takes-a-bite-out-of-investors-as-siri-fumbles-ai-race">target from $275 to $252</a>.
Price Action: Apple shares closed Thursday at $214.10, declining 0.53% during the regular session. In after-hours trading, it dropped an addition of 0.19%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Stock Down Over 12% This Year — Now Tim Cook Is Reportedly Betting On Vision Pro's Mike Rockwell To Fix Siri After Losing Confidence In AI Boss John Giannandrea

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). The trades occurred amidst Tesla&#8217;s recall of over 46,000 Cybertrucks and Meta&#8217;s ongoing privacy challenges.
The Tesla Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) acquiring 9,351 shares of the Elon Musk-led automaker. This purchase, valued at approximately $2.21 million based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $236.26, comes at a time when Tesla is under scrutiny. The company recently announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44414187/elon-musks-tesla-recalls-over-46000-cybertrucks-due-to-safety-concerns">recall of 46,096 Cybertruck vehicles</a> due to safety concerns with an exterior panel.
Additionally, Tesla is grappling with a $1.4 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44410602/elon-musks-tesla-faces-1-4-billion-discrepancy-in-capital-expenditure-report">discrepancy in capital expenditure</a>. This financial gap has contributed to a significant drop in Tesla&#8217;s market valuation, from $1.7 trillion to under $800 billion. However, Ark&#8217;s purchase suggests a belief in Tesla&#8217;s ability to overcome these hurdles and continue its growth trajectory.
The Meta Platforms Trade involved Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKK ETF selling 4,648 shares of the Mark Zuckerberg-led company. This sale, valued at approximately $2.72 million based on Meta&#8217;s closing price of $586.00, follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44409161/cathie-wood-offloads-meta-stock-while-mark-zuckerberg-celebrates-llama-ai-success">series of recent offloads</a> by Ark. The decision comes as Meta&#8217;s AI model, Llama, celebrates a milestone of 1 billion downloads, yet the company faces privacy scrutiny and expansion challenges.
Importantly, Meta&#8217;s potential to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44374847/meta-could-rake-in-30-40-billion-in-revenue-from-whatsapp-business-messaging-predicts-analyst">generate $30-40 billion in revenue</a> from its business messaging services is seen as undervalued by the market, according to Wolfe Research.
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>CRISPR Therapeutics AG &#8211; ARKG and ARKK ETFs bought a combined total of 100,706 shares.</li>
<li>Intellia Therapeutics Inc &#8211; ARKG and ARKK ETFs acquired a total of 104,341 shares.</li>
<li>Iridium Communications Inc &#8211; ARKK, ARKQ, and ARKX ETFs purchased a total of 103,028 shares.</li>
<li>Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc &#8211; ARKG and ARKK ETFs bought a total of 161,298 shares.</li>

Still, even the most seasoned investors can face moments of doubt, particularly during market downturns or political uncertainty.
This is the case of a 73-year-old retiree who has relied on Vanguard for more than a decade but is now questioning his approach amid market volatility.

The Reddit community responded to the poster with a mix of caution and practical advice, so let&#8217;s dive into those.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">73-Year-Old Investor With All-Vanguard Portfolio Afraid of Market Volatility–Reddit Responds</h2>
Rebalance to a More Conservative Portfolio
The consensus among commenters was that the investor&#8217;s current portfolio is too aggressive for his age and risk tolerance, so many suggested rebalancing to a more conservative combo.
&#8220;It&#8217;s impossible to shelter yourself from the current downturn and still own stocks. Your allocation is aggressive for a typical 73-year-old. VSMGX is 60/40 stocks/bonds. VTSAX is 100% stock. Given that VTSAX is 70% of the total, overall you are 88% stock,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
A user responded to this comment, agreeing with it and recommending a more conservative allocation.
&#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s where you should be at like age 53, not age 73. You should have a much more conservative portfolio. Are you planning to live to 120? If not, let&#8217;s be real: You need this money to last you another 10-20 years, probably. Get into a more conservative portfolio.&#8221;
A Redditor acknowledged the investor&#8217;s past success but advised him to shift toward bonds to reduce risk.
&#8220;You have basically won by going with a very aggressive 70% VTSAX and 30% VSMGX for the last 13 years. After these fantastic gains, I think it would be good to add a lot more bonds because you are older now and because you are worried about this downturn,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;You are way too heavy in stocks for someone who is 73, particularly if this administration scares you,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;You are still up over 10% the past year; reallocate into bonds and a healthy amount of cash even. You're good,&#8221; another Redditor said.
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>.
Avoid Emotional Decisions and Stay the Course
Many Redditors cautioned against making any emotional decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.
&#8220;Stop looking at your portfolio and realize that this 10% drop in your portfolio really means nothing in the context of the long-term gains your portfolio has had. In other words, close the laptop and go live your life,&#8221; a comment says.
&#8220;You have lost the gains of the last 6 months. Calm down,&#8221; a Redditor wrote.
A commenter said he relates to the investor&#8217;s concerns and shared what actions he&#8217;s thinking of taking to avoid panic selling and unnecessary risk.
&#8220;Your risk tolerance is decreasing. I can relate. I&#8217;m close to retirement and the latest activity in the market made me rethink my allocation. I&#8217;ve been aggressive but now want to do more capital preservation. I dropped to 60% equities and 40% bonds; my wife wants to drop it even further. I don&#8217;t want to make panic-driven decisions and predict downturns. But I do want to have a portfolio that I can sleep well at night. I don&#8217;t need to be focused aggressively on capital appreciation anymore and can be more conservative in my investments,&#8221; he shared.

Retired Investor With 13-Year Vanguard Strategy Asks 'Where Do I Go In Vanguard?' – Wants Out Of Tesla And Meta Amid Market Fears

A federal judge has taken issue with the&nbsp;Trump administration&nbsp;for its handling of Venezuelan deportation flights, highlighting a lack of adequate response to a court order.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge James Boasberg criticized the administration for not providing sufficient details about Venezuelan deportation flights, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5206108-trump-administration-venezuelan-deportation-flights/">The Hill</a>. The Justice Department missed a deadline to submit flight information, opting instead for a declaration from an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official.
The declaration indicated that &#8220;Cabinet Secretaries are currently actively considering whether to invoke the state secrets privilege.&#8221; Judge Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama, demanded an update from someone directly involved in the discussions by Friday. By Tuesday, officials must explain their non-compliance with court orders that block Trump&#8217;s use of the Alien Enemies Act.
The Justice Department maintains it adhered to Boasberg's written order, arguing the oral order was not binding. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union claims the government could have returned deportees until they were in foreign custody. The administration has suggested invoking the state secrets privilege to withhold sensitive information.
