Investment firm Piper Sandler says that Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Robotaxi launch could disrupt the auto industry.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: The firm reiterated its bullish views on Tesla stock, citing the company's work in self-driving software, Yahoo Finance reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/teslas-robotaxi-launch-could-drive-industry-disruption-and-market-share-gain-analysts-say-133937404.html">on</a> Wednesday.
"Tesla is still the most transformative company in autos. Over time, Tesla will likely win.&#8221; Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter said.
The investment firm also said that as self-driving technology grows, the auto industry could face disruption in the form of lower volumes sold, more fleet utilization and a move to "service-based revenue models," the report said, which could lead to Tesla gaining ground.
Why It Matters: The bullish stance from Piper Sandler is in contrast to investment bank Goldman Sachs' views, as analysts for the firm maintained that the company's Robotaxi growth will be slow in the near term, citing delays to FSD availability, among other factors.
Analysts are also raising concerns about the company&#8217;s Robotaxi plans, with Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, slamming the "lack of constructive feedback" <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46088826/gary-black-calls-out-lack-of-constructive-feedback-on-teslas-robotaxi-launch">on the Robotaxi launch</a> for Tesla, which he said was still lagging in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087567/uber-nears-all-time-high-as-waymo-partnership-expands-to-atlanta-gary-black-calls-it-low-risk-while-tesla-lags-in-supervised-autonomy">supervised autonomy</a>.
Besides analysts, regulators are also scrutinizing the EV giant's rollout as the NHTSA said it was investigating and reviewing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46067027/tesla-robotaxi-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-traffic-violations-during-austin-launch">incidents of traffic violations</a> committed by the Robotaxis during the Austin launch.

TSLA's Robotaxi Could Disrupt Auto Industry, Says Piper Sandler, Contrasts Goldman's Cautious View: 'Tesla Will Likely Win'

Jeff Bezos' space company, Blue Origin, has reportedly sought to capitalize on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45880543/trump-musk-feud-likely-a-planned-strategy-says-morgan-stanley-calling-musk-and-politics-inseparable-while-staying-bullish-on-tesla">fallout between</a> President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to secure more government contracts.
What Happened: Following the dramatic split between President Trump and SpaceX CEO Musk earlier this month, Blue Origin executives have been in talks with the Trump administration, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/jeff-bezos-trump-blue-origin-9f5ac75b">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
Bezos himself reportedly spoke with Trump at least twice and Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp met with Trump's chief of staff.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107353/trump-says-democrats-have-crossed-the-line-with-zohran-mamdani-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-back-new-york-mayoral-candidates-grassroots-suppo">Trump Says Democrats Have &#8216;Crossed The Line&#8217; With Zohran Mamdani — Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren Back New York Mayoral Candidate&#8217;s &#8216;Grassroots&#8217; Support</a>
As per the report, the conversations focused on persuading the administration to allocate more government contracts to Blue Origin, which has struggled to compete with SpaceX's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44655959/elon-musks-spacex-jeff-bezos-blue-origin-and-boeing-lockheeds-ula-bag-13-5-billion-pentagon-launch-contracts">dominance in the space industry</a>.
Last summer, Blue Origin executives expressed concerns over Musk's close ties to Trump and the potential impact on their access to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45840240/trump-musk-feud-fuels-spacex-rivals-space-stock-countdown">lucrative government contracts</a>, the report added.
White House and Blue Origin did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The rift between Trump and Musk began in early June after Musk criticized Trump-backed legislation and hinted at a potential new political party.
In response, Trump suggested that Musk's businesses could suffer if his companies lose government subsidies and contracts.&nbsp;
Although relations between Musk and Trump have reportedly improved, the White House has initiated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45942949/white-house-orders-scrutiny-of-spacex-contracts-even-as-trump-musk-relationship-warms-report">review of SpaceX's contracts</a> with NASA and the Department of Defense, according to Reuters.
In December last year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42453807/spacex-hits-350-billion-valuation-in-insider-share-sale-ceo-elon-musk-says-no-investors-wanted-to-sell-shares">SpaceX's valuation</a> reached $350 billion following an agreement between the company and its investors to buy $1.25 billion worth of insider shares.

Jeff Bezos And Blue Origin Engaged With Trump Administration For Government Contracts Amid Elon Musk's Rift With The President: Report

Hinge founder Justin McLeod says Silicon Valley's push to offer artificial-intelligence &#8220;friends&#8221; risks worsening, not curing, the loneliness crisis and likened Mark Zuckerberg's vision of AI companionship to eating junk food.
What Happened: &#8220;He [Zuckerberg] said we're going to give them AI chatbots. That he believes that AI chatbots can become your friends. I think that's honestly an extraordinarily reductive view of what a friendship is," McLeod <a href="https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/687683/hinge-ceo-justin-mcleod-dating-app-ai-relationships-tinder">told</a> Nilay Patel on The Verge's Decoder podcast.
&#8220;The most rewarding parts of being in a friendship are being able to be there for someone else, to risk and be vulnerable, to share experiences with other conscious entities,&#8221; he added.
The remarks directly challenged Zuckerberg, who <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=3771&amp;v=rYXeQbTuVl0&amp;feature=youtu.be">told</a> podcaster Dwarkesh Patel last month that "the average person has demand for meaningfully more" friends and suggested AI avatars could fill the gap.
McLeod called that premise "playing with fire," warning that always-available bots will "ultimately, just like junk food, make people feel less healthy and more drained over time. It will displace the human relationships that people should be cultivating out in the real world.&#8221;

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), which has rolled out AI characters across Facebook, Instagram and a standalone Meta AI app, says nearly a billion users now interact with its assistants each month.
Why It Matters: That said, the McLeod isn't anti-algorithm. Hinge already uses machine learning to coach users on photos and profile prompts, and McLeod said future tools will feel "much closer to a personal matchmaking service," producing curated lists of compatible matches and nudging daters before a first meeting. He compared such coaching to a trainer at the gym — for guidance, not a replacement.
Meta's been pushing hard on the AI front over the past year, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44191670/meta-ai-assistant-may-get-paid-subscriptions-ads-llama-4-upgrade-in-the-works">additions</a> to its AI search assistant and a more recent institution of a &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45878991/mark-zuckerberg-is-handpicking-a-superintelligence-team-to-lead-metas-agi-race-after-llama-4-letdown-report">Superintelligence</a>&#8216; lab. It is also worth noting that the company had earlier tried <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34969768/mark-zuckerberg-wants-you-to-have-your-own-jarvis-ai-is-coming-to-instagram-messenger-and-whatsapp">celebrity chatbots</a> that were shuttered after mixed reviews.

Mark Zuckerberg Suggested AI Avatars Could Be Your Friends, Hinge Founder Justin McLeod Says Meta CEO Is 'Playing With Fire'

Renowned television host Jim Cramer is cheering a potential mega merger between energy giants Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) and BP PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>), seeing it as a catalyst for a broader surge in deal-making activity.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Cramer posted on X, forecasting an imminent wave of mergers and acquisitions, especially in the energy sector, calling it an &#8220;M&amp;A wave,&#8221; kick-started by Shell and BP. 
Cramer&#8217;s optimism comes amid market chatter triggered by <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/shell-in-early-talks-to-acquire-rival-bp-2233591a">a</a> Wall Street Journal report suggesting that Shell was actively considering acquiring BP, creating one of the largest energy corporations in the world, which he believes would be the &#8220;most bullish thing that can happen in this market.&#8221;

The host of CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money further believes that there's minimal antitrust scrutiny or political pushback in the energy sector right now, especially relative to big tech, which could make large-scale mergers easier to execute.
Shell, however, has since explicitly denied any talks of a merger being underway, with a spokesperson telling Reuters on Wednesday that &#8220;no talks are taking place&#8221; and that this was all just &#8220;further market speculation.&#8221;
The spokesperson went on to say, &#8220;As we have said many times before, we are sharply focused on capturing the value in Shell through continuing to focus on performance, discipline and simplification.&#8221;
BP, meanwhile, has remained tight-lipped, with the company&#8217;s representatives repeatedly declining to comment on the speculation.
Neither BP nor Shell immediately responded to Benzinga&#8217;s requests for a comment on this matter. The story will be updated as soon as we receive a response.

Why It Matters: Talks surrounding BP&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45205962/bp-stock-jumps-on-report-of-possible-acquisition-by-shell">acquisition by Shell</a> have been ongoing for quite some time, with Bloomberg having reported on it over a month ago.
If the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098937/shell-in-talks-to-acquire-bp-in-mega-merger-report">$80 billion deal</a> goes through, it is expected to create a European oil and gas behemoth that could rival American giants, the likes of Exxon Mobil Corp.

Price Action: Shares of BP were up 1.64% on Wednesday, trading at $30.32, and up 0.59% after hours, while Shell was down 1.00% during the day, before inching up 0.15% after hours, following the company&#8217;s denial of any such merger.

Jim Cramer Predicts 'M&A Wave' Even As Shell Denies BP Merger Deal: TV Host Says This Is The 'Most Bullish Thing' That Can Happen In This Market

Billionaire investor Tim Draper predicted Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) complete dominance over the dollar within the next five years on Wednesday, driven by what he sees as unprecedented innovation on the network.
What Happened: In an X post, Draper, a renowned venture capitalist and long-time Bitcoin advocate, highlighted the asset&#8217;s increasing market share and how innovations from other platforms have gradually migrated to Bitcoin.
&#8220;There is a gravitational pull toward Bitcoin,&#8221; he said. &#8220;All the innovation that started in altcoins (smart contracts, blockchain applications, ordinals) is moving to Bitcoin.&#8221;
He likened this phenomenon to Microsoft Corp. NASDAQ: MSFT) dominance in the operating system era, where applications like Excel and Word became standard with the tech giant, although the idea emanated from early startups.

&mdash; Tim Draper (@TimDraper) <a href="https://twitter.com/TimDraper/status/1937541293460324513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2025</a></blockquote>

Draper highlighted five key applications being built on Bitcoin: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-defi">decentralized finance or DeFi</a>, smart contracts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-are-bitcoin-ordinals">Ordinals</a>, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38574629/exclusive-runes-could-transform-our-understanding-of-bitcoin-experts-tell-benzinga">Runes</a>, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44915034/bitcoin-sidekick-stacks-pushes-weekly-gains-to-25-as-apex-crypto-breaks-out-of-sideways-action">layer&nbsp;2 solutions</a>.
He said that entrepreneurs and programmers are favoring Bitcoin and predicted the asset to become &#8220;infinite&#8221; against the dollar in the next five years.
&#8220;When people ask what Bitcoin will be worth in 5 years, I say it will be worth one bitcoin. It may be infinite against the dollar as the dollar continues to inflate into nothingness.&#8221;
Why It Matters: While Bitcoin indeed has seen innovations, it&#8217;s worth noting that Ethereum continues to be the largest smart contract platform and a major player in the DeFi space. 
According to <a href="https://defillama.com/chains">DeFiLlama</a>, Ethereum has over $61 billion in total value locked as of this writing, head and shoulders above Bitcoin&#8217;s $6.38 billion. 
For many market observers, Bitcoin is still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44628685/bitcoin-is-a-realistic-global-reserve-asset-experts-say">regarded as a store of value asset</a> and a digital money that can be used for transactions.
Meanwhile, a new report detailed Bitcoin&#8217;s transformation from a speculative digital experiment into a sophisticated macroeconomic asset. It highlights Bitcoin&#8217;s growing institutional maturity, structural liquidity, and macro alignment, positioning it as a serious contender on the global stage.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $107,888.62, up 1.26% 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>.

Tim Draper Says This Will Be The Fate Of Bitcoin And The Dollar In 5 Years — Billionaire Highlights Apps Built On BTC That Matter

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States will hold nuclear talks with Iran next week, following devastating U.S. air strikes that intelligence officials say &#8220;severely damaged&#8221; Tehran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities.
What Happened: Speaking at a NATO summit in The Hague, Trump credited Sunday&#8217;s bunker-busting bomb attacks with bringing a swift <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46068524/israel-says-iran-broke-trump-ceasefire-orders-high-intensity-strikes-on-tehran">resolution to the 12-day Israel-Iran conflict</a>, Reuters reported. &#8220;It was very severe. It was obliteration,&#8221; Trump said, dismissing Defense Intelligence Agency assessments that Iran&#8217;s nuclear program may only be delayed by months.
Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the strikes &#8220;severely damaged&#8221; Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, citing &#8220;credible evidence&#8221; that key facilities were destroyed and would require years to rebuild. Israel&#8217;s nuclear agency assessed that the damage has set back Iran&#8217;s weapons development &#8220;by many years.&#8221;
The weekend operation involved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46090389/palantirs-defense-chief-says-iran-nuclear-program-set-back-significantly-by-us-strikes-but-intel-split-on-how-long">seven B-2 stealth bombers</a> from Northrop Grumman Corp. targeting facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Mike Gallagher, defense chief at Palantir Technologies Inc., said the strikes demonstrated capabilities &#8220;no other country in the world&#8221; possesses.

They want to recover,&#8221; Trump said, referring to uranium enrichment activities.

Trump Announces Iran Nuclear Talks Following US Strikes That 'Severely Damaged' Iranian Nuclear Program

World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, is set to release a stablecoin audit and launch a new application.
What Happened: The Trump family, which has a 75% claim on the venture&#8217;s net revenues, has been the subject of criticism due to potential conflicts of interest with the president&#8217;s involvement in crypto, reported Reuters.
Zak Folkman, the co-founder of the platform, said the audit would be carried out &#8220;within days.&#8221; Folkman revealed that the app would make it seamless for lay investors to use cryptocurrencies.
World Liberty Financial, which raised $550 million by selling so-called governance tokens, was taken over by the Trump family in January. The family now has a claim on 75% of net revenues from token sales and 60% from World Liberty operations once the core business gets going.
The venture is planning to release a stablecoin audit and a new application, despite not having launched a public platform and having a small staff, according to the Reuters report. The Trump family&#8217;s large share of the project&#8217;s revenues and the non-tradeable nature of the governance tokens make<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46025145/saks-stablecoin-bill-treasury-buying-trump-ties-cloud-push"> World Liberty </a>unusually centralized for the industry.

Why It Matters: The Trump family&#8217;s involvement in the crypto industry has been a subject of much debate. The family&#8217;s business also reportedly retained an attorney to serve as an ethics adviser to &#8220;avoid any perceived conflicts of interest.&#8221;
Trump has been a vocal supporter of the crypto industry, even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46009971/trump-cheers-incredible-stablecoin-bill-passed-by-senate-get-it-to-my-desk-asap-no-delays">lauding the Senate's passing of the stablecoin legislation</a> in June. The legislation, known as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45192914/us-stablecoin-legislation-will-transform-crypto-says-sui-foundations-christian-thompson">GENIUS Act</a>, establishes a regulatory framework for dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, also known as stablecoins, in the U.S.
According to Reuters, despite drawing criticism from his political opponents and some government ethics experts, citing conflicts of interest and influence peddling, the Trump family&#8217;s investments in World Liberty tie the personal fortunes of a sitting U.S. president to an asset class that sits at the outer edges of both risk and regulation.
Notwithstanding the controversy, the Trump family&#8217;s crypto ventures have been lucrative, quickly gaining hundreds of millions of dollars. The family&#8217;s business also took a minority stake in a newly-formed bitcoin producer called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45949846/trump-medias-bitcoin-investment-plan-gets-sec-nod-unlocking-2-3-billion-in-capital">American Bitcoin</a> in June.

Trump Family-Backed World Liberty Financial Plans To Launch A New App That Will Make It Easy For Lay Investors To Use Crypto

On Wednesday, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) scored a legal victory as a federal judge ruled that the company&#8217;s use of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33158772/sarah-silverman-and-other-authors-allege-openai-meta-wield-ai-tech-to-steal-info">copyrighted books</a> to train its AI models is protected under the fair use doctrine.
What Happened: A lawsuit filed by 13 authors, including Sarah Silverman, claimed Meta illegally used their copyrighted works to train AI models.
However, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria sided with Meta, granting summary judgment and stating that the company's actions fell under fair use, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/25/federal-judge-sides-with-meta-in-lawsuit-over-training-ai-models-on-copyrighted-books/">reported</a> TechCrunch.

&#8220;The plaintiffs presented no meaningful evidence on market dilution at all,&#8221; Judge Chhabria said. He went on to say that while the case was narrowly focused, AI model training can be deemed transformative, meaning Meta's models didn't simply replicate the authors' works.
Judge Chhabria added that this decision doesn't make all AI model training legal, but pointed out that the plaintiffs failed to make sufficient arguments about market harm.

"With BTC pushing crypto&#8217;s recovery, traders are shorting (expecting a slight pullback). Meanwhile, ETH has been trailing, and traders are longing in hopes it will catch up," Santiment stated.

Bitcoin Tops This Key Level As Institutions Pile On, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rangebound: Analyst Says Buying BTC Now Is Like Buying It For $20,000 In 2020

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is placing the blame for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s increasingly grim economic outlook on President Donald Trump&#8217;s trade and tariff policies.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Warren posted on X, citing Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s recent Congressional testimony to argue that Trump's tariffs are driving inflation and obstructing the Federal Reserve&#8217;s much-needed monetary policy relief package.
&#8220;Chair Powell confirmed Trump's dumb trade war is driving the Fed's forecast of higher inflation,&#8221; she said, adding that &#8220;The Fed now sees slower growth AND higher prices not just this year, but for the next two years,&#8221; as a result of the administration&#8217;s tariff policies.

Warren concludes that &#8220;Donald Trump is standing in the way of lower rates and lower costs for Americans,&#8221; while sharing a video snippet of Powell&#8217;s testimony on the matter.
In the snippet, Warren is seen asking pointed questions to Powell, starting with &#8220;What has changed in the last six months,&#8221; which has led the Fed to forecast higher inflation and unemployment rates, alongside lower economic growth than it did in December. 
Powell responded by acknowledging the role of tariffs in the Fed's updated outlook, saying that &#8220;Some of it is just taking signal from new data reports, and some of it is the possible effects in the short term of tariffs,&#8221; while adding that the Fed does not comment on the wisdom of trade policy.
&#8220;Our forecasts are very similar to what outside forecasts are,&#8221; he noted.
Warren seized on this to double down on her criticism of Trump, saying that &#8220;Donald Trump has become President, and the economy is headed down.&#8221;
She adds that the Fed sees no longer-term boost to the economy, or a drop in inflation from all of this, so &#8220;in other words,&#8221; she says, &#8220;no upside to Trump&#8217;s chaotic tariff war or his other economic policies.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Warren, a long-time critic of the Trump administration, has come out against the latter&#8217;s economic policies over the past couple of months.
This week, she railed against the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which she says <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087132/elizabeth-warren-says-the-tax-break-for-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-is-so-bountiful-under-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-that-35-copay-from-each-american-wont-still">offers big tax breaks</a> for companies like Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
She&#8217;s also repeatedly made calls for Congress to block Trump&#8217;s ability to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44782880/elizabeth-warren-says-congress-can-end-trumps-red-light-green-light-tariff-chaos-and-heres-the-plan">impose new tariffs</a> by nullifying the legal justification he is using to do so.
Last week, she warned that &#8220;The Fed is getting boxed out by the President's chaotic economic policies,&#8221; while adding that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46010639/elizabeth-warren-says-americans-deserve-lower-interest-rates-but-trumps-reckless-tariffs-stand-in-the-way-the-fed-is-getting-boxed-out">Americans deserved</a> lower costs and interest rates, but were being held back by Trump and his &#8220;reckless tariffs.&#8221;

Elizabeth Warren Blames Trump's 'Dumb Trade War' For Fed's Grim Outlook: The President Is 'Standing In The Way Of Lower Rates And Lower Costs'

Zohran Mamdani's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46102335/democratic-party-implodes-as-maga-revolts-can-musk-yang-build-third-party">victory in the Democratic primary</a> for New York City mayor is sparking heated political reactions, with President Donald Trump condemning the win as a sign that the Democratic Party has veered too far left.
What Happened: On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a first-term New York state lawmaker, declared victory after former Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded.
Following this, Trump took to Truth Social, criticizing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087359/zohran-mamdani-leads-nyc-mayoral-primary-andrew-cuomo-concedes-race">Mamdani's rise</a> as emblematic of the radical left taking over the Democratic Party. Trump mocked his appearance and credentials.
He also criticized the support Mamdani received from influential progressives, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

&#8220;It's finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line,&#8221; Trump posted, adding, &#8220;He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart.&#8221;

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) took to X, formerly Twitter, and praised his campaign. &#8220;His focus on government serving the people—not billionaires—will make life more affordable for NYC,&#8221; she stated.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also took to X and echoed Warren's sentiments, calling Mamdani's victory "extraordinary" and highlighting his successful challenge to the political and economic establishment.&nbsp;

However, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) sharply criticized the New York City Democratic Party. &#8220;You have just nominated for mayor — of one of the greatest cities in the world — a self-described socialist and a man who has defended calls for a &#8216;global intifada,'&#8221; he posted.

Why It's Important: Mamdani declared victory in the Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night from a Queens rooftop bar, shortly after Cuomo conceded. The final result, however, remains pending until ranked-choice votes are tallied on July 1, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nyc-mayoral-democratic-primary-zohran-mamdani-f87ea9d5b649cea8335ca7df6399c1f0">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Positioning himself as a progressive alternative to Cuomo's law-and-order focus, Mamdani campaigned on bold proposals to ease the cost of living — including free child care and bus service, a rent freeze for regulated apartments and expanded affordable housing, funded by higher taxes on the wealthy, the report added.
Mamdani's vocal advocacy for Palestinian rights became a flashpoint in the mayoral race, with opponents — including Cuomo — attempting to portray his sharp critiques of Israel as antisemitic, the report said.

Nvidia, Micron Technology, Super Micro Computer, BP And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Asset management giant&nbsp;Invesco filed for a cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund focused on Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) on Wednesday, expanding its offerings beyond Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The proposed Invesco Galaxy Solana ETF, filed in collaboration with the Michael Novogratz-founded firm Galaxy Digital Inc.

Michael Novogratz's Galaxy And Invesco File To Launch Solana ETF: What You Should Know About QSOL

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made notable trades on Wednesday, focusing on Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) and Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>). 
The Shopify Trade: Ark Invest made significant purchases of Shopify shares across multiple ETFs, including ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). The firm acquired a total of 36,058 shares of Shopify. This move aligns with Ark&#8217;s continued interest in high-growth technology and e-commerce sectors, as seen in their recent trades. On Wednesday, Shopify shares ended the day at $113.89, making the Ark transactions worth $4.11 million.
It should be noted that a day earlier, Ark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46086884/cathie-wood-drops-6-5-million-on-shop-and-abnb-betting-you-wont-stop-shopping-or-traveling">purchased $3.9 million</a> worth of Shopify shares through multiple ETFs as well. Shopify's first-quarter earnings beat analyst expectations, posting 26.8% year-over-year revenue growth despite shrinking gross margins.
The Robinhood Trade: In a contrasting move, Ark Invest sold 55,949 shares of Robinhood through ARKK. This decision comes as Robinhood&#8217;s stock trends upward, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102635/whats-going-on-with-robinhood-stock-today-4">reaching all-time highs</a>. The stock reached a 52-week high of $85.55 on Wednesday. For the day, Robinhood shares closed at $82.75, making the Ark transaction at $4.63 million. 
The company is expected to release its June trading metrics soon, following its annual shareholder meeting. Despite geopolitical tensions, Robinhood&#8217;s platform has shown resilience, with no major shifts in retail trading behavior, as highlighted by CEO Vlad Tenev. The executive noted that recent geopolitical tensions haven&#8217;t <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46097909/robinhood-ceo-highlights-retail-investor-interest-in-nvidia-tesla-despite-middle-east-tensions-barely-a-blip">shaken the confidence of retail traders</a> and money has continued to flow into artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and financial technology segments.

Cathie Wood Doubles Down On Shopify, Buys The Dip — Dumps $4.6 Million Worth Of Robinhood Stock At Peak

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly taking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32615218/jeff-bezos-the-wealthiest-groom-ever-prepares-for-a-massive-prenup-to-protect-his-138-billion-in-his">extra precautions</a> with his $233 billion net worth ahead of his upcoming wedding to Lauren Sanchez, after his $38 billion divorce from MacKenzie Scott.
What Happened: Bezos, whose wealth makes him the third richest person globally, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>, has ensured his assets are legally protected with a prenuptial agreement as he prepares to marry Sanchez.
Following his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43916092/mackenzie-scott-gave-away-19-billion-of-her-38-billion-divorce-settlement-from-jeff-bezos-in-5-years-her-current-net-worth-may-shock-you">2019 divorce from Scott</a>, which was one of the most expensive in history, Bezos is reportedly keen on avoiding a similar financial loss.
Bezos and Sanchez initially planned to marry in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42639012/inside-jeff-bezos-600m-wedding-to-lauren-sanchez-luxe-decor-stars-and-romance">Aspen during the winter of 2024</a>.

However, delays related to finalizing a legal agreement reportedly postponed the wedding, with Bezos&#8217; legal team allegedly insisting he not proceed until the prenup was in place, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-wedding-inside-guide-1236293622/">reported</a> The Hollywood Reporter, citing an insider.
Previously, Bezos had strongly denied there were ever plans for an Aspen wedding, posting his rebuttal on X.

</figure>
While the exact terms of Bezos and Sanchez's prenuptial agreement remain confidential, legal experts suggest it likely includes standard components such as asset division, spousal support and inheritance provisions.
Divorce attorney Robert Cohen, who is not involved in the case, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/23/jeff-bezos-prenup-wedding-lauren-sanchez-mackenzie-scott/">told</a> Fortune that the agreement aims to limit Sanchez's claims to Bezos' wealth while protecting his four children from a previous marriage.
Financial planner Chris Chen told the publication that strategies like setting up irrevocable trusts may be used to safeguard the children's financial future while still offering Sanchez a generous settlement.
Bezos' legal team is also expected to ensure the prenup is legally enforceable across all jurisdictions where he owns property or might marry — including Florida, California, Texas, D.C. and Hawaii.
Bezos' assets, including his $500 million yacht, Blue Origin and The Washington Post, are likely to be included in the terms, the report noted.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The prenuptial agreement comes after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37892348/jeff-bezos-ex-wife-mackenzie-scott-had-an-excruciating-job-making-and-selling-sandwiches-to-pay-">Bezos' previous divorce</a>, where Scott received over $38 billion in Amazon shares. Scott played a key role in Amazon's early development and continues to be a significant figure.

On Wednesday, Bezos and his fiancée, journalist Sanchez, arrived in Venice to begin a multi-day celebration filled with exclusive VIP events, despite facing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46062022/protests-rock-jeff-bezos-gondola-want-to-rent-venice-for-a-wedding-pay-more-tax">backlash from local residents</a>, reported Reuters.
Citing a source familiar with the plans, the report said that the festivities are set to begin Thursday evening with an outdoor reception at the Madonna dell&#8217;Orto.
The exact date and location of the wedding remain undisclosed, fueling speculation that the couple may have already exchanged vows in a private ceremony in the U.S., the report added.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is not shy when it comes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44818213/bernie-sanders-rallies-against-trump-musk-at-coachella-economy-that-is-working-very-well-for-the-billionaire-class">speaking out about the corruption </a>within politics and his thoughts about President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
When asked what he would do as president on his first day in office, the two key figures may have been on his mind.
Sanders as President: Sanders ran as president in the 2016 and 2020 elections, finishing runner-up in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40497250/dnc-night-2-takeaways-bernie-sanders-attacks-billionaires-obamas-call-for-history-to-be-made">Democratic Party primary </a>both times.
While Sanders may never run as president again, he couldn't help but share his answer for the hypothetical question of what he would do in office first, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/24/media/joe-rogan-asks-bernie-sanders-if-he-will-run-for-president-again-what-he-would-do-on-day-one/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
During an appearance on the &#8220;Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; podcast, host Joe Rogan asked Sanders, "What would you have done the first day in office?"
The question came after Rogan alluded to Sanders getting "derailed" in the 2016 election and having the party conspire against him.
After asking how many hours he had to explain his answer of what he would do in the first day, Sanders provided his best answer.
"Well, it's not just the first day in office," Sanders said. "I would have dealt with this campaign finance reform issue."
Sanders told Rogan it would be better for elections to be funded by the government giving every candidate the same amount of money to spend.
"Makes a lot more sense than having billionaires fund elections, which is what you got right now."
Sanders comments seemed to hint at the hundreds of millions of dollars donated by Tesla CEO Musk to help Trump win the 2024 presidential election.
The Senator brushed off concerns about taxpayers paying for the campaigns, saying it would be better than the current alternative.
"So all I'm saying is you got a corrupt campaign finance system, on both sides, which is rejecting the will of the American people and end up supporting powerful special interests," Sanders said. "And if we do not get a handle on that issue, I worry very much about the future of American democracy."

</ul>
Sanders Pushing for Change: Rogan asked Sanders if he would run for president again during the interview.
"I am 83 years of age. I'm not sure the American people would be too enthusiastic," Sanders answered.
Rogan didn't dismiss the idea, adding that Sanders was very "with it" and only a couple of years older than former President Joe Biden.
"Think of that. You could be off a lot worse," Rogan said.
Sanders, who didn't specifically rule out a run as president again, highlighted his "Fight Oligarchy" tour across the country that has shown support from both major political parties.
"There is growing dissatisfaction with the current politics in America, both parties, and people want a new vision, and people want a new vision for America."
