On Tuesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) sounded the alarm over a Republican-led push to slash billions in already approved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45766300/trump-sends-congress-9-4-billion-doge-cut-proposal-targeting-npr-pbs-lgbtq-initiatives-and-overseas-cl">federal spending</a>, including funds for public broadcasting programs like Sesame Street and National Public Radio.
What Happened: Warren took to X, formerly Twitter, to criticize the proposed legislation, saying, "Donald Trump wants to GUT already approved funds for public media like Sesame Street, NPR, and your local stations."&nbsp;
"If he gets away with this, next time he'll go after your community's funding for education, housing, climate, you name it," she posted.

Her comments come as Senate Republicans move to pass a $9 billion rescissions package before a Friday deadline. The bill, backed by Trump and already passed by the House, would cancel $1.1 billion earmarked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and around $8 billion in foreign aid, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/15/republican-bill-cut-foreign-aid-public-broadcasting">reported</a> The Guardian.
Why It's Important: The rescissions bill is part of a broader Trump administration strategy to reshape federal spending.
In May, Trump signed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45181825/trump-calls-npr-and-pbs-biased-and-partisan-signs-executive-order-to-stop-funding">executive order cutting off</a> federal funding to NPR and PBS, claiming both outlets publish "biased" and "partisan" news.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration also filed a lawsuit against three Corporation for Public Broadcasting board members, seeking their removal after they refused to step down following the President's attempt to fire them, reported Reuters.

Elizabeth Warren Slams Trump's Plan To 'Gut' Sesame Street Funding — 'If He Gets Away With This, Next Time….'

The House of Representatives called off Tuesday&#8217;s votes on pivotal cryptocurrency bills, citing a procedural failure.
What Happened: A procedural vote intended to advance key cryptocurrency legislation failed, resulting in the suspension of further votes scheduled for Tuesday, as <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/362791/house-scraps-tuesday-votes-on-crypto-bills-after-procedural-failure?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social">reported </a>by&nbsp;The Block. Earlier, the House&nbsp;voted 196 to 223 against&nbsp;proceeding with the&nbsp;voting on three bills scheduled&nbsp;for this week.
No additional votes are anticipated for Tuesday, as per&nbsp;the House Press Gallery website.
The House was poised to examine&nbsp;the GENIUS Act, also known as the stablecoin bill, and&nbsp;the CLARITY Act, &nbsp;known as the crypto market structure bill, during the so-called &#8220;Crypto Week.&#8221; 
The GENIUS Act, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45989307/senate-passes-genius-act-coinbases-brian-armstrong-calls-it-big-milestone-scott-bessent-says-passage-could-drive-stablecoins-into-a-3-7-trillion-market">already passed in the Senate</a>, aims to establish the first regulatory framework for issuers of dollar-pegged stablecoins like Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>). The Clarity Act, on the other hand, proposes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213365/maxine-waters-to-obstruct-cryptocurrency-hearing-plans-shadow-hearing-instead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">split&nbsp;cryptocurrency oversight</a>&nbsp;between the SEC and the CFTC.

Why It Matters: The halt came after President Donald Trump wished everyone a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46424764/trump-wishes-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-happy-crypto-week-it-is-all-part-of-make-america-great-again">"Happy Crypto Week&#8221;</a> and urged all Republicans to support the GENIUS Act to make the U.S. the undisputed leader in digital assets.
Rep.&nbsp;Maxine Waters&nbsp;(D-Calif.), senior Democrat and ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46412235/i-told-you-so-maxine-waters-predicts-massive-fraud-if-crypto-bills-pass">strong disapproval</a> of the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act. She warned that their passage could lead to massive fraud and repeat past deregulatory mistakes that led to financial crises.

Trump's 'Happy Crypto Week' Gets Off To Rocky Start As House Suspends Votes On Key Bills

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades on Tuesday, involving major companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>) and NVIDIA Corp.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
The Tesla Trade: On Tuesday, 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>) increased their holdings in the Elon Musk-led company by purchasing 45,145 and 70,235 shares, respectively. The transactions come amid Tesla&#8217;s recent challenges, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46432467/tesla-stock-slides-amid-executive-departure-intensifying-scrutiny-on-self-driving-tech">including the departure</a> of Troy Jones, VP of sales for North America, and increased scrutiny on its self-driving technology. The company has seen a wave of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46432860/tesla-leaders-take-the-exit-lane-where-have-all-the-execs-gone">high-profile exits</a> recently.

The sale aligns with Ark&#8217;s previous strategy of adjusting its cryptocurrency-related holdings, as seen in their earlier reduction of crypto stocks. The total value of the Coinbase shares sold is $13.28 million, given the closing price of $388.02 on Tuesday.
The ARKB ETF Trade: In a notable move, Ark&#8217;s ARKW fund offloaded 225,742 shares of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. The value of the ARKB shares sold is $8.74 million. For the day, ARKB shares closed at $38.70. Notably the sale of ARKB shares comes as Bitcoin has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46388685/bitcoin-shatters-all-time-high-to-hit-123000-as-ethereum-cracks-3000-and-xrp-taps-3">charting fresh all-time highs</a> this week. The apex cryptocurrency hit an all-time high of $123,091.61 on Monday.
The Nvidia Trade: ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>) fund acquired 2,999 shares of the tech giant.

Cathie Wood Doubles Down On Tesla Despite Leadership Exodus, Dumps $22 Million Of Crypto Stocks Amid Bitcoin Buzz

A startup created by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46278447/google-wants-to-hit-net-zero-by-2030-so-it-signed-a-massive-deal-with-a-bill-gates-backed-startup-thats-still-years-away-from-making-energy">Google</a> parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)) is stepping into the broadband spotlight as it goes after a share of the federal government's $42.5 billion Broadband Equity Access and Deployment program. The company, Taara, says in a<a href="https://www.taaraconnect.com/post/bead-light-post"> blog post</a> that its wireless Lightbridge technology can beam high-speed internet over the air, offering an alternative to both fiber and satellite options.
Taara has stated on<a href="https://x.com/TaaraConnect/status/1940415341320122877"> X</a> that it is &#8220;BEAD-ready,&#8221; referencing the initiative backed by the U.S. government. The post followed a major revision to the BEAD rules by the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration<a href="https://www.ntia.gov/press-release/2025/trump-administration-announces-benefit-bargain-bead-program-removes-regulatory-burdens-lowers-costs"> announced</a> in early June, which now encourages technology neutrality rather than prioritizing traditional gigabit fiber. That change gives companies like Taara a chance to compete directly with Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44346192/musks-starlink-says-its-not-taking-over-2-4-billion-faa-contract-but-testing-is-underway">Starlink</a> and T-Mobile's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) 5G Home Internet for funding.

</ul>
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in the announcement that the revised BEAD guidelines reflect a shift toward technology neutrality, aiming to deliver high-speed internet more efficiently and cost-effectively without prioritizing any single approach.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet's Taara Targets the Broadband Dead Zone Starlink Can't Reach</h2>
Taara is led by Mahesh Krishnaswamy, a former Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Google engineer who spun the project out of Alphabet's X moonshot factory after working on its earlier initiative, Loon. He has been focused on bridging global connectivity gaps since his early days in Chennai, India. "Today, there are like 3 billion people still unconnected, and there is a dire need to bring them online," Krishnaswamy told<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/plaintext-google-taara-chip-internet-by-light/"> Wired</a>. His mission, he says, is to find scalable ways to bring high-speed internet to the places the fiber can't reach.
Rather than laying cable underground or relying on orbiting satellites, Taara says it uses devices installed on towers to send internet signals through the air across distances of up to 20 kilometers. The company positions this technology as a solution to the "middle mile" infrastructure gap, which connects the main internet backbone to local delivery systems like fiber or 5G towers.
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
According to Taara, this part of the network is especially crucial in remote and challenging environments, where last-mile connections often remain isolated without an efficient link to the larger grid. "Without it, even the last-mile fiber connections or 5G cell towers remain stranded, unable to reach the broader internet," the company wrote in a LinkedIn<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/taara_with-the-june-27faqhighlighting-that-bead-activity-7346180158548062209-19Cu?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAACFfB9ABrae0tWCn0kxTT-AK_zR_u68I34M"> post</a>.
Alphabet&#8217;s <a href="https://fiber.google.com/blog/2025/04/from-fiber-to-airwaves-what-taaras.html">GFiber</a> says Taara&#8217;s Lightbridge can deliver speeds of up to 20 Gbps with ultra-low latency and no packet loss under clear weather conditions. This was demonstrated during a test in San Francisco with GFiber, which reported performance that matched high-end wired networks and exceeded traditional wireless radio systems.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digicomm Deal Signals Taara's Play for Scaled, High-Speed Wireless Internet</h2>
In May, Taara partnered with Digicomm International, a major telecom equipment supplier, to help deploy its Lightbridge system at scale. Digicomm<a href="https://digicomm.com/press/digicomm-international-and-taara-partner-to-bring-wireless-optical-communications-to-broadband-enterprise-and-municipal-networks/"> announced</a> that it will deliver Taara&#8217;s Lightbridge to broadband providers, businesses, and municipalities seeking fast, high-capacity wireless internet.
Wired describes Taara as a high-speed, earthbound alternative to Starlink, one that's already shown success at events like Coachella and in cities where laying fiber is cost-prohibitive. Whether the federal government will see Lightbridge as a worthy investment remains to be seen, but Alphabet is clearly placing a bet on the future of middle-mile infrastructure.&nbsp;

Elon Musk's Starlink Faces A New Alphabet Rival: This Google-Backed Startup Wants Federal Billions To Beam Internet Through Air

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has called for greater transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, diverging from President Donald Trump&#8217;s stance. Johnson urged Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday to provide clarity on her statements regarding the case.
What Happened: Johnson&#8217;s call for transparency comes in the wake of the Department of Justice&#8217;s decision not to disclose further details about the Epstein case, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5402472-speaker-johnson-pam-bondi-epstein/">reported</a> The Hill. This represents a significant departure from Trump&#8217;s position, who has backed Bondi and urged his followers to let the issue rest.
&#8220;I'm for transparency,&#8221; said Johnson in an interview with The Benny Show, hosted by podcaster Benny Johnson. He said, &#8220;President Trump does as well. I trust him. I mean, he put together a team of his choosing, and they're doing a great job. It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it.&#8221;
Johnson, however, has expressed his support for transparency in a conversation with conservative influencer Benny Johnson. He has also suggested the possibility of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein&#8217;s former girlfriend and convicted trafficker, testifying before Congress and subpoenaing documents from the Department of Justice.
Johnson&#8217;s stance has caused concern among Republicans, as it diverges from Trump&#8217;s line, who has asked&nbsp;his supporters to drop the&nbsp;Epstein matter and praised Bondi&#8217;s handling of the situation.

Why It Matters: Johnson&#8217;s call for transparency comes amidst growing public interest in the Epstein case. Earlier, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">reignited the debate</a> surrounding the Epstein row, expressing his discontentment with the lack of arrests in the case.
Shortly after, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46384692/elon-musk-says-trump-wants-everyone-to-stop-talking-about-epstein-reiterates-demand-that-president-just-release-the-files">Musk criticized Trump</a> for his defense of Bondi, who was under fire over a Department of Justice memo stating there was no evidence Epstein had a &#8220;client list.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s hesitancy to release the Epstein files was highlighted in a recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46409029/trumps-remarks-on-hesitation-to-release-epstein-files-were-omitted-from-initial-2024-fox-interview-you-dont-want-to-affect-peoples-lives-if-its-phony-stuff-in-th">Fox News interview</a>, where he expressed concerns about the potential impact on people's lives if the files contained "phony stuff."

Shares of special purpose acquisition company Cantor Equity Partners I Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEPO#NASDAQ">CEPO</a>) surged into the close on Tuesday following a report that the company is nearing a deal to invest billions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BTC-USD">in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)</a>.
What To Know: According to a Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a4a362a6-cc8b-4188-8658-75183a3d6f5f">report</a>, Cantor Fitzgerald chair Brandon Lutnick is in late-stage talks with Blockstream Capital founder Adam Back to buy more than $3 billion in Bitcoin.
Cantor Equity Partners I, which raised $200 million in cash in an IPO in January, would reportedly have Back contribute more than 30,000 Bitcoin to the blank check company and raise up to $800 million in outside capital as part of a broader deal aimed at accumulating the crypto.
Back and Blockstream would provide the Bitcoin in exchange for shares in the Cantor company, which would be renamed BSTR Holdings. 
Two people briefed on the matter reportedly said that the deal is in the late stages and could be announced as soon as this week.
Lutnick, who is the son of U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, took control of Cantor Fitzgerald in May when his father was confirmed as the top trade official of the Trump administration.
Back is a well-known cryptographer whose work was cited in the Bitcoin white paper. There has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto">speculation</a> that Back could be&nbsp;Satoshi Nakamoto,&nbsp;the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, but he has consistently denied the claims.
CEPO Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/cepo">Cantor Equity Partners I shares</a> closed Tuesday up 22.72% after surging on the news ahead of the bell. The stock was down 1.56% in after-hours, trading at $14.49 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), is offering a compelling vision for the future of digital finance and the role of stablecoins in the global economy.
The Details: In an<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zPYEecf9w"> appearance</a> on CNBC's "Money Movers" on Monday, Allaire highlighted that stablecoins, such as Circle's USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), are rapidly gaining traction as a preferred medium for both retail and institutional transactions.

The Circle CEO described stablecoins as a "major upgrade" to the financial system, highlighting their ability to facilitate instant, low-cost and borderless payments.
Stablecoins are as easy to use as sending an email or a message on WhatsApp, and their adoption is accelerating among households, businesses and even governments, he said. 
"We can imagine a world where, you know, stablecoin money is the primary way that transactions happen on the internet. And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going after," Allaire said.&nbsp;
Allaire pointed to financial giants like Visa, Mastercard and Intercontinental Exchange integrating USDC for cross-border settlements, as well as Shopify and Stripe. He predicted that the market could soar into the trillions in the coming years as major banks and payment providers embrace stablecoins.&nbsp;
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon suggested on the company's earnings call Tuesday that banks may need to collaborate on an interoperable digital solution or risk losing ground to digital finance challengers like Circle.&nbsp;
Allaire said that stablecoins are still in their infancy and Circle is positioned to benefit from the enormous growth potential ahead as the financial world adopts them. 
"This is a moment where it&#8217;s been a long time since you&#8217;ve actually had an upgrade to the financial system, to the very nature of what electronic money is. And digital currency really represents that," the Circle CEO stated.&nbsp;
CRCL Stock: Circle shares ended Tuesday's session down 4.58% at $195.33, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"> Benzinga Pro</a>.

Circle CEO: Stablecoins Are Going Mainstream — Fast

A Missourian earns $26,000 per year after taxes and needs help with navigating three debts. The first debt is a personal loan that has a $1,760 balance. The second debt is one to an internet provider that is around $300. However, this charge is incorrect, and the Missourian has deferred it to another debt collector.&nbsp;
The final debt is a $10,000 auto loan with a three-year plan. The Missourian admits to making mistakes in the past and turned to Reddit for <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1lu8hd8/in_a_financial_hole_what_should_i_tackle_first/">advice on managing the loans</a>. These were some of the suggestions Redditors offered.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work On Your Income</h2>
Although it is important to pay off debt and create a plan, you can only get so far with a low income. Penny pinching eventually reaches its limits, and that's why multiple Redditors suggested that the Missourian boost their income.
A side hustle or part-time job can go a long way in helping the Missourian out of debt. The extra work will eat up more time on their schedule, but having more control over long-term finances is worth the short-term sacrifice.
The Missourian may also pursue a higher-paying career after exploring new income streams. Staying at the same job with the same pay isn't a winning strategy in the long run. Looking for ways to increase income is the best long-term solution for the Missourian.
Trending: This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/finally-a-fully-automated-trading-platform-for-individual-investors?">You Can Become an Investor for Just $500.25</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start With The Smallest Debt</h2>
Some Redditors suggested the debt snowball strategy to pay off debt. After paying off the internet provider, the Missourian can prioritize the personal loan and wrap up by paying the auto loan.
Knocking out the $300 debt will give the Missourian a small win that can compound into something greater. Paying off this debt also frees the Missourian from the debt collector's phone calls.
The Missourian still has to make minimum monthly payments on the personal loan and the auto loan. However, tackling smaller balances can help the Missourian feel like they are getting on the right track. Given that the Missourian admitted to making financial mistakes, the debt snowball method seems more appropriate than the debt avalanche method.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avoid Making Bad Financial Decisions</h2>
It's good that the Missourian acknowledged past mistakes. Some people refuse to admit or address the mistakes that got them into debt. It can also result in a financial recovery. Paying off debt and saving money can put the individual on a better path toward long-term financial goals.
Unfortunately, some people rebound financially only to fall back into bad habits. Some people pay off credit card debt only to blow through the money all over again. Other people make matters worse. These types of people may take out home equity loans to consolidate credit card debt and then proceed to get deeper into credit card debt.
It's important to acknowledge and correct the bad financial habits that put you in an unfavorable position. That way, when you apply good financial habits and recover, you can preserve your success instead of falling back into bad habits.&nbsp;

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Fans of card game UNO and gamblers alike may have been booking flights to Las Vegas this week upon hearing news that the popular game was being added to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/casinos"> Las Vegas casino.</a>
And, even though UNO is being celebrated in Las Vegas this week, gambling isn't part of the story, yet.
What Happened: UNO, which is owned by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45234255/mattel-stock-edges-higher-despite-paused-guidance-over-tariff-concerns-whats-going-on"> toy and gaming giant </a>Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>), launched an UNO experience called UNO Social Club at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
The UNO Social Club is a limited-time offering being labeled the "ultimate game night destination" by the company.
The casino, which is owned and operated by the San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority, announced the offering back in <a href="https://www.palms.com/press-room/mattel-debuts-uno-experience-at-palms-casino-resort">May</a>. The news back then may have gotten lost in the shuffle as the UNO Social Club is going viral.
Social media users and gamblers were eager with excitement for gaming tables in Las Vegas casinos, where people could play UNO similar to poker and blackjack and wager real money. That isn't the case and UNO has had to play damage control.
"We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but the casino floor isn't ready for us yet," UNO said on Instagram. "We've been told that while they do have tight security, it's not robust enough for UNO at this time."
The words "yet" and "at this time" could create some optimism for the future, but right now, UNO players will have to play their Draw Four, Skip and UNO Reverse cards at home or inside the UNO Social Club if they're among the lucky entrants who will experience the Las Vegas club.
UNO and the casino launched a contest back in May to see which winner would get to stay in an UNO-themed suite and who would be invited to play the hit card game, created by Merle Robbins in 1971, inside the Palms Casino Resort.
Mattel <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/07/15/uno-vegas-no-gambling/85209836007/">told </a>the USA Today that entry to the event is limited and no money is staked on the game or events.

Why It's Important: While UNO isn't taking over Las Vegas gaming floors yet, the Social Club will continue to generate headlines through 2025.
The company said UNO Social Clubs will be coming to New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Austin lin August. Bars in these major cities are expected to host limited-time events.
Events will feature UNO tournaments, UNO-themed drink menus and more experiences centered around the card game, which Mattel acquired in 1992.
"The UNO Social Club in Las Vegas is just the beginning, and we're excited to see how these new experiences inspire players to show up, play hard, and make unforgettable memories," Mattel Vice President and Global Head of Games Ray Adler said back in May.
While this remains an early test, this could be the start of a new revenue source for Mattel. The gaming company could license out UNO to bars and casinos as the game sees increased attention from consumers around the world.
UNO continues to be one of the most popular card games of all time and Mattel could be onto something with its social clubs.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Seagate Tech Hldgs 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Billionaire Tim Draper has revealed some new lore about "the first family of Silicon Valley."
In a proud dad moment, Draper <a href="https://x.com/TimDraper/status/1942614766494834990?t=8Kh0lZ2bEcBvEtkPBwCmVw&amp;s=19">said</a> Tuesday on X that son Adam Draper beat him to "the best investment of the decade."
The investment in question is leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), a venture known to have been backed by the father and son.
Draper said he had missed out on the company&#8217;s seed round due to a conflict of interest, but his son, having no such constraints, had dived in after an impressive pitch from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.&nbsp;

</ul>
"We love the pitch and love Brian," Draper said. "I want in immediately, but I&#8217;d already invested in CoinLab (a startup with a similar premise). So… I passed on the seed round. Oops. My son didn&#8217;t have that conflict and invested in Coinbase&#8217;s first round at a very good price."
Draper said he was later able to get in during the firm&#8217;s growth round and the pre-IPO, but stressed that his son&#8217;s returns far outweighed his own.
"Both were great successes, but my son's returns solidly beat my own," he said. "Good to see that each generation gets better than the one before."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Family Affair</h2>
For the Draper family, venture capital is a family affair. Draper himself is a third generation venture capitalist, who made his first venture capital investments in the ‘80s following in the footsteps of his father William Henry Draper III, who himself got into the business in the ‘50s following in the footsteps of William Henry Draper Jr. who founded the VC firm Draper, Gaither and Anderson.
Like Draper, most of his children have followed the venture capital path. Draper&#8217;s first son, Adam, founded Boost VC in 2012, an early-stage venture capital firm focusing on Bitcoin businesses.
Commenting on his father&#8217;s account of his Coinbase investment, Adam <a href="https://x.com/AdamDraper/status/1942642673493426469?t=-XsD8OxXQgihAS9Sevr9_g&amp;s=19">said</a> the investment "defined" his career.
"The network I built from this one investment is priceless," he said. "The obsession with the Bitcoin rebellion is priceless. The understanding of how markets evolve is also priceless."

He quoted Armstrong as saying at the time that "at some point the world will be on one financial infrastructure," adding, "this could be a trillion dollar opportunity."
According to the fourth-generation venture capitalist, however, in hindsight, Armstrong was wrong.
"He was wrong," he said. "The crypto space is already multiples of trillions."
To be sure, the cryptocurrency space has come a long way from its niche libertarian roots. At last look, the market boasts a market capitalization of nearly $3.7 trillion as the adoption of Bitcoin and the underlying blockchain technology grows on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46261889/bitcoins-fourth-of-july-journey-from-revolutionary-vision-to-wall-streets-darling">Wall Street</a>.&nbsp;
Coinbase, now the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume in the U.S., has been a key player in the industry&#8217;s rise and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45416971/coinbase-becomes-first-pure-play-crypto-stock-in-sp-500-analyst-sees-major-institutional-upside">recently became</a> the first cryptocurrency native firm to be included in the S&amp;P 500. At last look, the firm boasts a market capitalization of $99 billion.

BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>) shares are ripping higher in Tuesday&#8217;s after-hours session after billionaire PayPal and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel disclosed a stake <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/07/46432052/bitmine-immersion-technologies-13d-filing-shows-peter-thiel-linked-ff-consumer-growth-discloses-9-1">in the company</a>.
What To Know: Thiel&#8217;s Founders Fund Growth II Management disclosed in an SEC filing late Tuesday that it took a 9.1% stake in BitMine Immersion Technologies as of July 8. 
BitMine recently announced a pivot to an Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) treasury strategy, which has sparked a flurry of buying in the name.
BitMine closed on an initial private placement of $250 million last week with intentions to accumulate ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. The company announced on Monday that it&#8217;s now holding a total of 163,142 ETH. 
Before announcing the Ethereum treasury strategy, BitMine had a market cap of just $25.86 million and shares had fallen around 45% since the start of the year.&nbsp;BitMine&#8217;s market cap was up to approximately $2.12 billion as of Tuesday&#8217;s close, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
A lot of the attention came after Fundstrat&#8217;s&nbsp;Tom Lee&nbsp;was appointed chairman of the company&#8217;s board. Lee has discussed the company&#8217;s strategy in several television interviews since, which has sparked significant investor interest in multiple companies that recently adopted ETH strategies.
GameSquare Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAME#NASDAQ">GAME</a>) announced an Ethereum treasury strategy last week. The stock has been trending higher since the announcement. The company on Tuesday scheduled a conference call to review its Ethereum strategy, which sent shares up more than 25% in extended trading.
