FinVolution's 2024 Surge: $1.8B Revenue, $28B In Loans, And A Bold AI-Driven Vision For Global Financial Access

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, LinkedIn co-founder and tech entrepreneur Reid Hoffman voiced concern about Elon Musk's growing influence over <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43426165/elon-musks-daily-4-billion-doge-target-will-lead-to-30-cut-in-federal-spending-says-economist-jason-furman">U.S. government operations</a>, warning that treating public service like a startup could come with serious consequences.
What Happened: Hoffman appeared on the show earlier this month to discuss his new book, "Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right With Our AI Future."&nbsp;
The conversation took a more political turn when Colbert asked about Musk's prominent role in government through the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
"Government and companies are not the same," Hoffman said to applause from the audience. "The way that you run government shouldn't be the same as running companies."

Hoffman, who praised innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the segment, made it clear that while he believes in private-sector efficiency, he draws a sharp line between business tactics and democratic governance.&nbsp;
"We want government efficiency," he added, "but obviously we can do it in a much less cruel and much more lawful manner."
During their wide-ranging discussion, Hoffman and Colbert also touched on the future of AI, the creative power of AI tools like ChatGPT, China's fast-moving AI developments including DeepSeek, and Hoffman's own AI clone that can deliver speeches in multiple languages.

Why It's Important: Musk <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43690690/elon-musk-urges-trump-to-delete-entire-agencies-as-doge-lead-calls-for-radical-us-spending-cuts-remove-the-roots-of-the-weeds">currently leads DOGE</a>, a controversial advisory body created by executive order under President Donald Trump to cut government spending and reduce the federal workforce.
Though not an official agency, DOGE has been given <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44143475/trumps-u-s-doge-service-claims-65b-in-savings-experts-call-it-smoke-and-mirrors-amid-resignations">access to federal departments</a>.

While some Americans support cost-cutting efforts, critics warn that Musk's approach undermines government transparency and institutional checks.

LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman Pours Cold Water On Elon Musk's DOGE Moves: 'Government And Companies Are Not The Same'

Renowned short-seller Jim Chanos has taken aim at Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) executives for what he perceives as hypocrisy in their public messaging versus private actions.
What Happened: &#8220;Palantir management continues to ridicule the skeptics on their stock price&#8230;while they keep selling material amounts of shares,&#8221; Chanos wrote on X, responding to news of significant insider selling.
Stephen Cohen, Palantir&#8217;s President, and Co-founder executed a substantial stock sale between Mar. 12-17, divesting 4.06 million shares worth approximately $328 million, according to The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
The data analytics company, known for its software used by intelligence agencies and commercial clients, has drawn investor attention due to these large transactions, particularly given its premium valuation metrics. 
Palantir currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 463, while the stock has declined nearly 30% over the past month, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why It Matters: This criticism comes amid a broader market debate about Palantir&#8217;s growth prospects. Martin Shkreli, the controversial former hedge fund manager, recently questioned but ultimately defended Palantir&#8217;s projections. Shkreli challenged the common analysis that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44294672/palantirs-4-million-arpc-estimate-flawed-says-pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-but-i-wouldnt-bet-against-them">only about 20,000 companies</a> can afford Palantir&#8217;s $4 million data analytics suite, arguing that the software might generate positive returns regardless of budget constraints, and that per-seat pricing could expand market reach.
Despite these discussions, Palantir has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44212796/palantir-joins-sp-100-after-ai-driven-rally-stock-surges-almost-60-since-trump-victory">performed well since November</a>, surging over 55% following President Donald Trump&#8216;s election victory. The company was recently added to the S&amp;P 100 index, replacing Dow Inc., effective Mar. 24.
Recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analyst price targets</a> from Wedbush Securities, Loop Capital, and Citigroup average $123.67, suggesting a 46% upside potential from current levels, despite Shkreli&#8217;s acknowledgment of competitive threats from Snowflake Inc.

Jim Chanos Slams Palantir Management For Continuing To 'Ridicule' Skeptics While Executives Sell $328 Million Worth Of Stock

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange Binance (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>), advised artificial intelligence agent services to focus on utility rather than launching their own coins on Monday.
What Happened: Zhao, popularly known as CZ, posted his &#8220;unpopular opinion&#8221; on AI agents and their connection to the cryptocurrency world. 
&#8220;While crypto is the currency&nbsp;for AI, not every agent&nbsp;needs its own token,&#8221; CZ stated. &#8220;Launch a coin only if you have scale. Focus on utility, not tokens.&#8221;
Binance&#8217;s former CEO added that agents can utilize existing cryptocurrencies to get paid for the services they provide.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

CZ&#8217;s remarks invited reactions, with influential cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen presenting the same argument, although this time about cryptocurrency exchanges collecting fees in existing tokens rather than launching their own tokens. The retort appeared to be directed at Binance&#8217;s exchange token, BNB.

Why It Matters: Zhao&#8217;s viewpoint comes at a time when the AI agent cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant contraction.
According to Coingecko, the market cap of AI agent coins has <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/artificial-intelligence#key-stats">plunged</a> 67% year-to-date, while its share in the AI market has shrunk from 67% to 45.52% as of this writing. Key AI agent coins such as Artificial Super Intelligence (FET) and ai16z (AI16Z) have fallen 60% and 88%, respectively, since 2025 began.
It&#8217;s worth noting that the AI agent bot market is expanding, with these virtual agents becoming increasingly adept at problem-solving. Additionally, the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43946285/ai-market-growth-this-niche-will-expand-44-by-2030-while-web3-ai-skyrockets-89-7">Web3 AI sector</a> is projected to grow by a staggering 89.7%, outpacing the overall AI market&#8217;s 44% growth by 2030.

Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao Says He Has An 'Unpopular Opinion' On Using Crypto For AI Fees: 'Not Every Agent Needs Its Own Token'

A new study suggests artificial intelligence has officially passed the meme Turing Test, with large language models now generating memes rated funnier than those created by the average human.
What Happened: Ethan Mollick, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, posted on X Monday, declaring, "I regret to announce that the meme Turing Test has been passed."
"LLMs produce funnier memes than the average human, as judged by humans," he said, adding, "Humans working with AI get no boost… The best human memers still beat AI, however."

Mollick referenced a research paper titled "One Does Not Simply Meme Alone: Evaluating Co-Creativity Between LLMs and Humans in the Generation of Humor," authored by Zhikun Wu, Thomas Weber, and Florian Müller.
The study explored how humans and AI collaborate to generate memes, comparing the results of three groups: human-only, human-AI collaboration, and AI-only.
Using meme templates and predefined topics like work, food, and sports, participants generated captions during a timed ideation phase. AI-generated memes, created entirely by GPT-4, were then evaluated against those from the other groups based on humor, creativity, and shareability.

The results showed that AI-only memes were consistently rated higher than human-only memes in all categories. While human-AI collaborations produced more ideas, the quality didn't improve significantly.
Notably, the best human-created memes still outperformed AI in humor.
Why It's Important: The findings underscore AI&#8217;s growing ability to replicate—and even surpass—certain aspects of human creativity, particularly in cultural and humor-driven content like memes.
While AI boosts productivity and reduces creative workload, it doesn't always enhance quality when paired with humans.

AI Just Passed The Meme Turing Test? Study Finds LLMs Now Create Funnier Memes Than Most Humans

Shares of Japan&#8217;s five major trading houses soared on Tuesday on the Tokyo exchange after Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44353719/warren-buffets-berkshire-hathaway-boosts-stake-in-japans-top-trading-firms">increased its stakes in the companies</a>.
What Happened: National Indemnity, a wholly owned unit of Berkshire Hathaway, disclosed in filings with Japan&#8217;s securities regulator that it had raised its stake in Mitsubishi from 8.31% to 9.67% and in Mitsui from 8.09% to 9.82%. Berkshire also increased holdings in Itochu, Marubeni, and Sumitomo by approximately one percentage point each.

Why It Matters: These trading firms are vital to Japan&#8217;s economy, importing essential raw materials including oil, gas, and metals while supporting the country&#8217;s machinery export, automobile, and electronics sectors.
Buffett, often called the &#8220;Oracle of Omaha,&#8221; first disclosed investments in these trading houses in 2020. In his annual shareholder letter last month, he highlighted his increasing appreciation for the companies. By the end of 2024, the market value of Berkshire&#8217;s Japan holdings had risen to $23.5 billion.

Warren Buffett-Backed Japanese Trading Stocks Surge As Tokyo Market Digest Berkshire's Increased Stake

Gold prices soared to new heights Monday, and renowned economist Peter Schiff marked the occasion by promoting his Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) non-fungible tokens.
What Happened:&nbsp; Gold bug Schiff took to X to celebrate a historic moment in the bullion market. 
&#8220;Today spot gold closed above&nbsp;$3,000 for the first time&nbsp;ever,&#8221; he wrote. He added that the yellow metal hit $2,000 on Aug. 5, 2020, and that the next $1,000 increase &#8220;won&#8217;t take nearly as long.&#8221;
Schiff encouraged his followers to &#8220;commemorate&#8221; the occasion with his Golden Triumph Ordinals, a collection of Bitcoin NFTs. &#8220;They are far more scarce than Bitcoin,&#8221; Schiff said, poking fun at the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s deflationary characteristics.

Schiff launched the Ordinals collection in May 2023, featuring the original painting "Golden Triumph" and a series of prints and Ordinals on Bitcoin. His argument is—Ordinals add more value to an existing art than Ordinals independently possessing any value.
Schiff has been a vocal critic of Bitcoin, often highlighting the benefits of gold over the apex cryptocurrency. He recently asserted that selling gold for Bitcoin was the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44363871/peter-schiff-slams-bitcoin-etfs-calls-selling-gold-for-btc-worst-timed-trade-in-history">&#8220;worst-timed trade in history</a>.&#8221;

Peter Schiff Pushes His Own Bitcoin NFTs To Mark Gold Highs: 'Far More Scarce Than BTC'

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), China&#8217;s leading electric vehicle maker, has introduced a groundbreaking charging system that can fully charge an EV in the time it takes to refuel a gasoline car, potentially eliminating one of the biggest <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44359054/byd-reveals-5-minute-ev-battery-charging-system-bloomberg">barriers to EV adoption worldwide</a>.
What Happened: Chairman Wang Chuanfu announced that in tests, the new system charged the Han L model with 292 miles of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44359054/byd-reveals-5-minute-ev-battery-charging-system-bloomberg">range in just five minutes</a>. 
BYD&#8217;s Hong Kong-listed shares rose 4.05% to 401.20 HKD ($51.63) on Tuesday, continuing a strong year that has seen the stock surge 53% year-to-date.
The rapid charging technology will be integrated into BYD&#8217;s upcoming electric models, further strengthening its competitive position against rivals like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).

Why It Matters: By offering a charging experience comparable to traditional gas station visits, BYD addresses the charging downtime concern that has made many consumers hesitant to switch from <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44359054/byd-reveals-5-minute-ev-battery-charging-system-bloomberg">internal combustion vehicles</a>.
The charging breakthrough comes as BYD pursues aggressive expansion in Europe. The company is reportedly considering Germany for its third European assembly plant, following facilities already planned in Hungary and Turkey. BYD is reportedly avoiding countries that supported EU tariffs on <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44354592/warren-buffett-backed-byd-eyes-germany-for-third-european-plant-amid-tariff-concerns-report">Chinese-made EVs imposed last year</a>.
BYD&#8217;s European manufacturing push aims to circumvent import tariffs while boosting sales of its affordable vehicles against local competitors.

What Happened: The deal could come together soon, barring any last-minute complications, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/alphabet-back-in-deal-talks-for-cybersecurity-startup-wiz-41cd3090?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
Alphabet was previously close to acquiring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39764952/google-parent-alphabet-reportedly-eyes-23b-acquisition-of-cybersecurity-firm-wiz-to-take-on-microsof">Wiz for around $23 billion</a> last summer, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39907654/alphabet-wiz-deal-now-off-the-table-but-tech-bull-sees-consolidation-in-cybersecuri">talks collapsed</a> over regulatory concerns and structural disagreements.

Wiz, founded in 2020 by former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) executives, offers cloud-based cybersecurity solutions and has quickly become one of the fastest-growing startups in the sector.

Wiz was valued at $16 billion in a late 2023 tender offer, and its backers include leading venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, the report noted.

Why It's Important: If finalized, the acquisition would not only eclipse Google's previous record $12.5 billion Motorola Mobility deal but also signal its growing focus on cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity.
The potential deal also tests the appetite of antitrust regulators under the Donald Trump administration.
Google is already facing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44208199/googles-monopoly-fight-just-got-more-intense-justice-department-reaffirms-plan-to-split-up-the-tech-giant-in-historic-antitrust-battle">two antitrust lawsuits</a>, and any new major acquisition could draw further scrutiny.&nbsp;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares had gained 0.097% in after-hours trading, while Class C shares edged up 0.018%. Earlier on Monday, Class A shares closed down 0.73% at $164.29, and Class C shares declined 0.63% to $166.57, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Google In Advanced Talks To Buy Cybersecurity Startup Wiz For $30 Billion — Largest Deal Ever Amid Antitrust Uncertainty: Report

Frog-themed cryptocurrency Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) rallied sharply Monday, bucking the declines of more popular meme coins.
What happened: The Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)&#8211;based token bounced 8%, becoming the biggest meme coin gainer and the fourth-most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.
Moreover, PEPE's trading volume spiked 44% to $806 million, making it the second-most traded meme coin in the last 24 hours.
The rally defied losses in meme coin heavyweights Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), which fell 2.21% and 4.91%, respectively.

Why It Matters: Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the formation of an inverse head and shoulder pattern on PEPE's hourly chart, with the "neckline" or resistance at $0.0000075.
The inverse head and shoulders pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, indicating exhaustion of a prolonged downturn.&nbsp;
"A sustained break above the $0.0000075 resistance could trigger a 40% price rally toward $0.0000100," Martinez said.

Tesla, Luminar, Reddit, Intel, Alibaba: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

When approaching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44263209/ramsey-says-americans-in-their-60s-and-70s-wont-be-packing-bags-for-a-dream-vacation-in-retirement-theyll-be-packing-lunch-for-work-instead">retirement</a>, many investors must decide how to allocate their savings to ensure a regular income stream while preserving their capital.
In this situation, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44335110/stupid-20-year-investment-plan-investor-questions-200000-dividend-strategy-is-it-stupid-to-put-in-that-much-into-schd">dividend</a> investing often becomes a favorite option as it offers the potential for regular income without the need to sell shares. Still, high-yield ETFs can be tempting, especially when it comes to maximizing returns, but such allocations need to be balanced with more conservative assets to minimize the risk.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>
<li>These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a></li>
</ul>
One Reddit user, a 62-year-old soon-to-be-retiree, has shared his dilemma: he has $700,000 in stock market index funds and a small company pension but is considering moving $500,000 into high-yield dividend funds. His main goal is to generate $4,000 a month in dividends to cover his living expenses and reinvest the excess dividends.
He&#8217;s considering allocating 20% each to JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>) and JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPQ#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>) and is tempted to add double-digit-yielding ETFs to the mix. Yet, he&#8217;s worrying about the risks involved, particularly the potential for capital erosion over time.
&#8220;I mean, if I buy $500,000 worth of high dividend funds–that in 10 years would be $500,000 (hopefully more). Will do JEPI and JEPQ. Tempted to add some double-digit yielding ETFs to the mix. Any suggestions? Is there such a thing as a double-digit ETF that will hold its value over time?&#8221; he asked.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
The Reddit thread provided the investor with plenty of advice, so here are the most relevant suggestions from the comment section.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Invest $500,000 in Dividend Funds for at Least $4,000/Month? Reddit Debates The Poster&#8217;s Plan</h2>
Don&#8217;t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
Many Redditors emphasized the importance of portfolio diversification, especially when relying on high-yield assets for retirement income.
&#8220;JEPI and JEPQ are ETFs. They yield 7.1% and 9.9% respectively. You won&#8217;t find too many other ETFs that yield more than those. [Hoya Capital High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/riet#NYSE">RIET</a>)] &#8211; a [real estate investment trust] ETF yields 9.8%. [Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pffa#NYSE">PFFA</a>)] &#8211; a preferred stock ETF yields 9%. Their expense ratios are a little higher and they tend to be interest rate sensitive too,&#8221; a comment reads.
A suggestion advocates for a more balanced approach, combining index-based and actively managed funds to reduce risk.
&#8220;Pick a combo&#8230; 75% into index-based ones like JEPI/JEPQ, [Goldman Sachs S&amp;P 500 Core Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gpix#NYSE">GPIX</a>)]/[Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Core Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gpiq#NYSE">GPIQ</a>)], [NEOS S&amp;P 500 High Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spyi#NYSE">SPYI</a>)]/[NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqi#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>)] and 25% into active like [Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/divo#NYSE">DIVO</a>)]/[Global X S&amp;P 500 Quality Dividend ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qdvo#NASDAQ">QDVO</a>)]. So overall, you will have four funds. Enjoy your retirement, you deserve it!&#8221;
&#8220;Do it! Go check out Armchair Income on YouTube. He gives you his highly diversified portfolio blueprint. He yields 11% over 35 different investments… nothing more than 5%. Deep research focused on yield and stable [net asset value],&#8221; another comment reads.
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>.
Focus on Sustainable Income
Several Redditors warned the investor against chasing double-digit yields, as they often come with considerable risks, such as capital erosion and volatility. Instead, they recommended focusing on sustainable revenue that balances yield and stability.
&#8220;You want &#8220;only&#8221; $4,000 per month out of $500,000, meaning you actually want a 10% dividend. Hopefully, you understand that is a lot and it comes with risk, especially the risk of net asset value erosion. Personally, I think it&#8217;s a risky strategy for retirement and I wouldn&#8217;t recommend it. But hey, whatever floats your boat and makes you happy!&#8221; a Redditor said.
A commenter shed some light on the mechanics of a particular high-yield fund, which emphasized the trade-off between capital preservation and yield.
&#8220;[Cornerstone Total Return Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crf#NYSE">CRF</a>)] will not hand out free money. They will balance with the total returns of the market. So, if the market goes up, say 30%, and it has an 18% yield, CRF will go up by the remaining 8-12%. But if the market goes down, say 30%, it will go down by the remaining 48%-ish. This is why they consistently go down in value year after year. The market has to beat its yield %,&#8221; he said.
One Redditor noted that double-digit ETFs are not a good pick for retirement, suggesting the poster go with more conservative assets.
&#8220;Double-digit return ETFs are a terrible choice for retirement, way too much volatility. If you want to sleep at night go with more reliable assets,&#8221; the Redditor wrote.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Retiring In Months With $700,000, 62-Year-Old Plans $500,000 Move To Dividends – 'Should I Go All-In On JEPI, JEPQ, Or Riskier Plays?'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares plunged nearly 5% Monday after Mizuho analysts slashed their price target for the electric vehicle maker, prompting economist Peter Schiff to question the market&#8217;s reaction.
What Happened: Mizuho cut its Tesla price target <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44361503/tesla-to-430-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-monday">from $515 to $430</a>, sending the stock down nearly 5% to close around $238. &#8220;But why is this even bad news if the lowered price target is still 80% higher than today&#8217;s closing price?&#8221; Schiff wrote on X.
Mizuho cited weakening demand as it reduced delivery forecasts to 1.8 million vehicles this year and 2.3 million in 2026, down from previous estimates of 2.3 million and 2.9 million, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/tesla-stock-slides-as-mizuho-trims-price-target-on-weakening-demand-11698266">reported</a> Investopedia. Analysts noted Tesla &#8220;significantly underperformed the market&#8221; across the U.S., China, and Europe last month.

The automaker&#8217;s challenges stem partly from &#8220;deterioration in geopolitics&#8221; and shifting brand perception, according to Mizuho. Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s role in leading President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency has sparked protests and reports of vandalism against Tesla <a href="https://www.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">vehicles and showrooms nationwide</a>.

Ross Gerber, a longtime Tesla investor who has grown increasingly critical, shared footage Sunday of protesters outside a Tesla store in Santa Monica. The video concludes with his 9-year-old child saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad we don&#8217;t have a Tesla.&#8221;
Tesla shares have lost about half their value since their December peak of $479.86. Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> is $318.22 from 30 analysts, ranging from $550 to $24.86.

What Happened: Bitcoin rose to an intraday high of $84,700 late afternoon before retreating to the $83,000 zone due to profit-taking. Ethereum followed a similar trajectory, rising to $1,950 and later pulling back to $1,920.
Bitcoin's market dominance remained above 60% while Ethereum's share dwindled to 8.5% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;

Over $168 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with short liquidations accounting for over $100 million.&nbsp;
Additionally, if Bitcoin reclaims $87,000, a further $500 million in shorts would be wiped out.
Bitcoin's Open Interest grew 1.32% in the last 24 hours, suggesting an influx of new money into the derivatives market.&nbsp;
Interestingly, the percentage of traders positioned short on the apex digital asset surged to 55%, according to the Long/Short Ratio, suggesting that traders anticipated another dip.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency analytics firm CryptoQuant detected a steady deleveraging in Bitcoin's derivatives market, with about $10 billion in Open Interest erased over the past two months.
"This can be considered a natural market reset, an essential phase for sustaining a bullish continuation," CryptoQuant stated. "Looking at historical trends, each past deleveraging like this has provided good opportunities for the short to medium term."

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Match Stock Advances: BTC Should Flip $85,000 And $89,000 Levels For Potential Reversal, Says Analyst

The U.S. Commerce Department has reportedly banned <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44254562/deepseek-stays-free-founder-rejects-monetization-plans-new-reasoning-model-amid-alibaba-talks">Chinese artificial intelligence</a> model DeepSeek on government devices.
What Happened: In recent weeks, several bureaus within the U.S. Department of Commerce issued internal communications warning staff not to use DeepSeek AI on government-furnished equipment, also known as GFE, reported Reuters, citing a message and two people familiar with the matter.
"To help keep Department of Commerce information systems safe, access to the new Chinese-based AI DeepSeek is broadly prohibited on all GFE," said one department-wide email. "Do not download, view, access any applications, desktop apps or websites related to DeepSeek."

It remains unclear how widespread the ban is within other parts of the U.S. government.
Why It's Important: The move follows rising alarm over the potential risks posed by Chinese AI tools accessing sensitive government data.
In January, DeepSeek's release triggered a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44103985/74-of-deepseeks-output-mimics-openais-chatgpt-new-study-reveals-it-does-raise-questions-about-its-development">wave of concern</a> in global markets due to its low-cost capabilities and its potential to challenge U.S. dominance.

Several states, including Virginia, Texas, and New York, have already implemented bans on the use of DeepSeek on government equipment, the report noted.
A coalition of 21 state attorneys general has also called on Congress to pass federal legislation barring the model.
In February, Taiwan also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43401844/taiwan-bans-deepseek-ai-over-security-concerns-joins-global-scrutiny-of-chinese-tech">banned DeepSeek AI</a>.

China's DeepSeek Sparks National Security Alarm: 'Do Not Download, View, Access Any Applications...'

Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest made significant moves on Monday, by selling shares of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>).
The META Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) ETF sell 12,595 shares of the Mark Zuckerberg-led company. The sale occurred as Meta faced increased <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44363736/zuckerbergs-global-push-meta-faces-scrutiny-over-privacy-free-speech-regulatory-tactics">scrutiny over its global expansion efforts</a> and privacy practices. According to a recent report, Meta&#8217;s ambitious strategies have drawn attention following allegations from a former executive. Despite these challenges, Meta has outperformed major indices in 2025, attributed to its lower leverage compared to other tech giants. The shares were sold at a closing price of $604.90, valuing the trade at approximately $7.62 million.
The Block Trade involved the sale of 12,881 shares of Block shares by Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) ETF. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused Block recently became the first U.S. company to deploy Nvidia&#8217;s AI clusters for AI research, predicting a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44299872/jack-dorseys-block-first-us-company-to-deploy-nvidias-ai-cluster-predicts-30x-performance-boost">substantial performance boost</a>. CEO Jack Dorsey expects the implementation to be 30 times more powerful than current capabilities. 
However, analysts have described Block&#8217;s stock as &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43893641/block-shares-fairly-valued-analysts-say-stock-not-for-the-faint-of-heart">not for the faint of heart</a>,&#8221; given its market volatility. The shares were sold at a closing price of $58.65, resulting in a trade value of around $755,000.
Last Tuesday, Ark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267113/ark-invests-strategic-moves-tempus-ai-block-inc-and-draftkings-inc-in-focus">sold $11.26 million</a> worth of Block shares. Notably, the company&#8217;s recent earnings report showed a revenue miss. It is also noteworthy that Bitcoin has risen nearly 8% over the last seven days as investors brace for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision on interest rates.
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>Sold 4,852 shares of Roblox Corp from ARKF and 17,217 shares through ARKW.</li>
<li>Bought 103,955 shares of Intellia Therapeutics Inc. in ARKG.</li>

How Open Text, Regency Centers, And Delek Logistics Can Put Cash In Your Pocket

Joe Rogan once contrasted Elon Musk's minimalist lifestyle with Jeff Bezos' over-the-top luxury, but a closer look at what the world's two richest men actually own today reveals a much more nuanced reality.
What Happened: On an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the podcast host shared his admiration—and amusement—about the wildly different ways Musk and Bezos live their billionaire lives.
"When I look at billionaires and how I like billionaires to behave, there&#8217;s two I really love," Rogan said. "I love Elon because he&#8217;s f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing crazy and he lives in a $50,000 house and he has people drive him around everywhere—he doesn&#8217;t own anything… And then Jeff Bezos, who&#8217;s balling out of control… They have to take a f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing bridge apart because he wants to get his giant yacht through it."

Rogan was referring to reports about Bezos' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42931896/jeff-bezos-500-million-superyacht-koru-steals-the-show-at-st-barts-annual-festival-where-173-billionaires-turned-up-with-their-yachts">$500 million megayacht</a>, Koru, which made headlines in 2022 when builders requested to dismantle a historic bridge in the Netherlands to allow it to pass.
Meanwhile, Musk was gaining attention for pledging in 2020 to "own no house" and selling off his multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio to focus on SpaceX and his Mars ambitions.

But while Rogan's admiration paints Musk as a wandering billionaire without a home and Bezos as a superyacht-owning magnate, reports from the last couple of years tell a different story.
Court filings from December 2023, uncovered during Musk's custody dispute with former partner Grimes, revealed that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO had quietly bought a nearly $7 million home in Austin, Texas, in February 2022, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musks-secret-austin-house-2024-4">reported</a> Business Insider.

Musk said in the filings that he purchased the property after the location of his previous rental became public.
"In February 2022, I bought the home on [redacted] where [redacted] and I still live," Musk stated in the filing. Grimes and their children also lived at the residence from April to August 2023, according to the documents.
Though the property was purchased through an LLC and never publicly listed, real estate records and local accounts point to a nearly 7,000-square-foot home, built in 2017 and previously valued at around $4.5 million before being sold in 2022.
As for Bezos, the billionaire's shift from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36716941/jeff-bezos-drove-a-1997-honda-accord-for-years-after-becoming-a-billionaire-and-still-drove-a-honda">Honda-driving CEO</a> to luxury connoisseur is well-documented. In a 1999 60 Minutes interview, Bezos—then worth billions—was still driving a 1997 Honda Accord. "This is a perfectly good car," he told the interviewer.
But over the years, Bezos has significantly upgraded his lifestyle. In addition to Koru, Bezos also owns a growing real estate empire. In 2023, he purchased a $79 million mansion in South Florida's exclusive "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/42805560/jeff-bezos-miami-billionaire-bunker-neighbor-is-selling-an-empty-lot-for-200-million-its-less-than-2-acres-and-they-paid-27-5-million">Billionaire Bunker</a>," just months after buying a neighboring $68 million property.
His car collection is also worth an estimated $20 million and includes rare and exotic models such as the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, Bugatti Veyron Mansory, and W Motors Lykan HyperSport.
Musk and Bezos currently hold the top two ranks on Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>, with the Tesla CEO having a net worth of $312 billion and the Amazon founder $217 billion.

Joe Rogan Once Talked About The Two Billionaires He 'Really' Loves, He Called Elon Musk A Nomad And Jeff Bezos A Yacht King — What These Two Tech Titans Own Reveals A Very Interesting Story

Toronto has taken a significant step by excluding Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) vehicles from its electric vehicle incentives, citing the ongoing trade war with the United States. This decision, led by Mayor Olivia Chow, reflects the city&#8217;s stance on the trade conflicts.
What Happened: Toronto has halted financial incentives for Tesla vehicles used as cabs or for ride sharing purposing, citing trade conflicts with the United States, according to Reuters on Monday.
Under Mayor Olivia Chow&#8217;s leadership, the city is promoting electric vehicle use by lowering licensing and renewal costs for ride-hailing vehicles through 2029. However, from March 1, Tesla models are excluded from these benefits. Chow explained that drivers must seek alternative electric vehicles.
The exclusion remains until U.S. trade issues are resolved. Chow attributed the decision to Elon Musk, Tesla&#8217;s CEO and adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump&#8217;s tariffs on Canadian goods have fueled tensions, prompting this symbolic move.
&#8220;We have certainly said that if you want to buy a Tesla, go ahead, but don&#8217;t count on taxpayer money to subsidize it,&#8221; said Chow, according to the report.
Tesla has reportedly not commented on Toronto&#8217;s move. The financial impact is minimal, according to the mayor.

Why It Matters: This move by Toronto is part of a broader trend in Canada where Tesla is facing increasing challenges. Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44321211/tesla-charging-stations-cut-from-rebate-program-by-canadian-province-most-people-would-support-their-remo">Tesla&#8217;s charging stations and home batteries</a> were excluded from rebate programs in British Columbia, also due to U.S.-Canada trade tensions. 
Additionally, Tesla has been suspected of manipulating Canada&#8217;s EV rebate program, with reports of a sudden surge in sales before a rebate deadline, as detailed in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44213295/tesla-suspected-of-ev-rebate-manipulation-in-canada-amid-sudden-sales-surge-tesla-gamed-the-system-says-industry-body">another Benzinga article</a>.
Moreover, public sentiment in Canada is shifting against Tesla, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44224547/attempting-to-erase-canadian-sovereignty-71-of-canadians-support-a-tesla-ban-while-364000-want-elon-musks-citizen">recent poll</a> indicating that 71% of Canadians support a ban on Tesla sales. This growing discontent is further evidenced by a petition to revoke Elon Musk&#8217;s Canadian citizenship, which has gathered significant support.
Canada is imposing 25% tariffs on $20 billion of U.S. goods in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">retaliation for Trump's steel and aluminum duties</a>, affecting multiple industries. The move adds to previous counter-tariffs, raising concerns over economic instability, rising costs, and disruptions in housing and manufacturing.
