On Wednesday, YouTuber Marques Brownlee, popularly known as MKBHD, addressed allegations against the Honey browser extension, which is owned by PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>).
What Happened: Brownlee responded to the allegations made by fellow YouTuber MegaLag last month in a video titled &#8220;Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam.&#8221;
MegaLag&#8217;s video, which has amassed more than 14 million views, accused Honey of withholding affiliate revenue meant for influencers and manipulating discount codes to benefit specific retailers.
According to the video, Honey has sponsored over 5,000 videos, collectively amassing nearly 8 billion views.

This has caused significant backlash and resulted in a class-action lawsuit against PayPal, filed on Dec. 29, seeking over $5 million in damages.
Now, Brownlee, who had three videos sponsored by Honey, expressed his disappointment, stating, &#8220;Obviously, if I had known any of this, I never would&#8217;ve worked with Honey.&#8221;
&#8220;I have removed the honey ads from those videos in the name of not accidentally promoting honey any more than I possibly could,&#8221; he added.

Despite his past association, Brownlee is not a plaintiff in the lawsuit, <a href="https://mashable.com/video/honey-brower-extension-scam">noted</a> Mashable.
A spokesperson for PayPal defended Honey&#8217;s practices in a statement <a href="https://www.law.com/therecorder/2024/12/31/biggest-influencer-scam-of-all-time-paypal-accused-of-poaching-commissions-via-its-honey-browser-extension-/">to</a> Law.com, underscoring its benefits for shoppers and merchants.
&#8220;Honey is free to use and provides millions of shoppers with additional savings on their purchases whenever possible,&#8221; the spokesperson said, highlighting Honey&#8217;s adherence to industry standards.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes at a challenging time for PayPal, which in October 2024 reported its fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41598035/paypal-q3-earnings-revenue-falls-short-of-expectations-strong-payment-volume-growth-ceo-sees-15-20-">third-quarter earnings</a>.
The company experienced a 6% year-over-year revenue growth, reaching $7.85 billion, slightly below the analyst consensus of $7.88 billion. PayPal&#8217;s adjusted EPS of $1.20 surpassed the analyst consensus of $1.07.
Price Action: PayPal&#8217;s stock gained 0.97% on Thursday, closing at $86.18. In the after-hours session, the price edged up by 0.35%. In 2024, PYPL shares have climbed 46.99%, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Billionaire investor and Dallas Mavericks co-owner Mark Cuban is known for his strong conviction in cryptocurrencies, having invested in heavyweights such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), as well as the king of meme coins, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
While he has talked extensively about different coins in recent years, some of his remarks have indicated a clear bias for Ethereum.
What happened: During an interview with CNBC back in Oct. 2021, Cuban picked Ether as having the highest upside potential among cryptocurrencies.
"As an investment, I think Ethereum has the most upside," Cuban said.&nbsp;He added that Bitcoin is "better gold than gold" but that he won't recommend it over Ether.&nbsp;
That's not all. In a podcast with Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz in the same month, Cuban admitted, "I have my fair share of Bitcoin, but I&#8217;m more of an Ethereum maxi."
&#8220;Maxi&#8221; is an abbreviation for maximalist, a cryptocurrency slang used to describe someone with unwavering faith in a particular coin.

Interestingly, a lot of these remarks were made during the peak of the last bull market in 2021.&nbsp;
During October, Ethereum's average price was $4,287.56, while Bitcoin was valued at $61,309.60 on average.
Let us assume a person parked $1,000 in both Ethereum and Bitcoin at the time, equating to&nbsp; 0.233 ETH and 0.0163 BTC.
More than three years later, the cryptocurrency market is in the midst of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42396548/from-100k-to-250k-analyzing-bitcoins-bull-market-signals">new bull cycle</a>. As of this writing, Bitcoin was trading at $96,354.12, while Ether was valued at $3,432.14 per unit.
So, if the trader HODLed their cryptocurrencies until today, their Bitcoin stash would be worth $1571.99, reflecting a gain of 57%.
On the contrary, their Ethereum stockpile would have reduced to $800.48, marking a loss of 19.95%.

As of today, Mark Cuban holds just 0.026 Ether, worth $87.55, and no Bitcoins in his portfolio, according to <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/mark-cuban">data</a> from Arkham Intelligence.
While Ethereum has clearly lagged Bitcoin in the ongoing bull cycle, several analysts expected the second-largest cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42720351/ethereum-to-outperform-bitcoin-in-q1-2025-for-these-3-reasons-whale-trader-says">to get the better of its senior partner</a> in the first quarter of 2025.

Jim Cramer cautioned investors on Thursday against excessive speculation in quantum computing and nuclear power stocks, despite growing market enthusiasm for both sectors.
What Happened: &#8220;Both have promise, someday, but that day is not near enough to justify the current valuations for these stocks,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/02/jim-cramer-cautions-speculating-on-nuclear-power-and-quantum-computing.html">said</a> during his show, pointing to concerns about long development timelines and current market valuations.
His warning comes as the U.S. quantum computing market, valued at $138.2 million in 2022, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42638753/quantum-computing-the-new-ai-a-look-at-the-rapidly-expanding-market-and-top-stocks-for-2025">projected to reach</a> $1.2 billion by 2030, according to Fortune Business Insights. 
Several quantum-focused stocks have seen significant recent gains, including Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>), D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>), and Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>).
Cramer expressed particular concern about quantum computing companies that are currently unprofitable despite substantial stock price increases. He referenced Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) recent quantum developments, including its new Willow chip, while noting the technology remains &#8220;in its infancy.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Regarding nuclear power, Cramer cited GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik&#8216;s projection that nuclear projects could take a decade to generate profits. He questioned the valuations of smaller nuclear companies like Oklo and NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>), despite acknowledging the sector&#8217;s long-term potential.
Major tech companies including Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42528751/investing-in-the-future-of-quantum-computing-stocks-to-watch-now">made significant investments</a> in quantum computing development, with Amazon also exploring nuclear energy applications.
&#8220;I fear people will get hurt speculating on even the biggest companies, let alone the smaller ones,&#8221; Cramer said.

Jim Cramer Warns 'Day Is Not Near Enough To Justify The Current Valuations' Of Quantum Computing, Nuclear Power Stocks

Amid a turbulent start to the year for Chinese stocks,&nbsp;UBS Global Wealth Management&nbsp;has issued a warning to investors, recommending to &nbsp;"stay on the defensive side.&#8221; This comes as market&nbsp;volatility is expected to rise&nbsp;due to anticipated policy changes by the incoming U.S. administration.
What Happened:&nbsp;UBS Global Wealth Management&nbsp;has advised investors in Chinese stocks to adopt a defensive strategy. This recommendation comes as consumption remains subdued and market volatility is anticipated to increase due to impending higher tariffs by US President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-03/ubs-wealth-urges-chinese-stock-investors-to-stay-defensive?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> on Friday.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television,&nbsp;Eva Lee,&nbsp;head of Greater China equities&nbsp;at UBS, suggested that investors focus on stocks offering dividend yields above 6%, significantly higher than the 2% government yields. She highlighted a 4% yield gap as particularly appealing, recommending sectors such as banks, utilities, and energy.

Chinese stocks have had a rough start to 2025, with a 2.9% decline on Thursday marking the worst beginning to a year in nearly a decade. The&nbsp;CSI 300 Index&nbsp;continued its downward trend on Friday. Although last year&#8217;s stimulus measures have helped stabilize the market, traders are wary of economic uncertainties as Trump&#8217;s inauguration approaches.
China plans to&nbsp;issue more ultra-long special treasury&nbsp;bonds in 2025 to support&nbsp;consumer product trade-in programs&nbsp;and major projects. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;10-year government bond yield fell below 1.6% on Friday, reflecting&nbsp;economic concerns and expectations for&nbsp;further monetary easing.
Why It Matters: The advice follows Chinese stocks experiencing a drop right after resuming trading after New Year&#8217;s Day. The drop was attributed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42767647/chinese-stocks-drop-as-manufacturing-growth-slows-and-geopolitical-tensions-hit">slowdown in manufacturing growth</a>. The Caixin/S&amp;P Global manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index for December fell to 50.5, missing analyst expectations. This slowdown is compounded by geopolitical tensions, including a semiconductor embargo from the U.S. and concerns over potential tariffs.
Furthermore, the Trump administration plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42701155/made-in-china-paid-in-america-what-trumps-new-tariffs-mean-for-the-us-economy">significantly increase tariffs </a>on Chinese imports, with rates potentially rising by 20 percentage points. These developments are likely to impact both the Chinese and U.S. economies, affecting consumer prices and industrial production.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, in after-hours trading, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) slipped 0.047%, Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) rose 0.34%, and JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) edged up 0.18%. During the same period, Nio Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Xpeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) were up nearly 1%.

Elon Musk&#8217;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX is eyeing launching into space for the first time in 2025 on Friday for UAE-based Space42.
What Happened: SpaceX is now targeting Friday for Falcon 9&#8217;s launch of AI-powered space tech company Space42&#8217;s&nbsp;Thuraya 4&nbsp;mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.&nbsp;If not on Friday, the company is aiming to launch the mission on Saturday. 
Space42's Thuraya 4 telecommunications satellite was built by Airbus and is fully electric. The satellite is aimed at delivering increased coverage across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The mission will mark SpaceX&#8217;s first mission in 2025. The company last launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Florida on the last day of 2024 with 21 Starlink satellites. 
Why It Matters: In 2024, SpaceX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42755343/spacex-hits-new-milestone-in-2024-with-134-launches">completed 134 launches</a>, not including four Starship test flights. A majority of them were Starlink missions launched by the company&#8217;s workhorse Falcon 9 launch vehicle. 
The company is yet to unveil the number of launches it is targeting in 2025.
However, the company said earlier this week that it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42761808/spacex-says-starlink-now-has-over-4-6-million-customers-1-6-million-new-users-added-in-7-months">&#8220;soon&#8221; looking to launch its third generation of Starlink satellites</a> on its Starship launch vehicle. However, the Starship is still in the testing and development phase and has yet to carry any major payload to space.

Resources Connection, SPS Commerce And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Shares of U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) plunged 9.82% in overnight trading on Robinhood on Friday, following a modest 1.38% gain during the last after-hours session.
What Happened: This decline comes as President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;is poised&nbsp;to block the proposed acquisition by&nbsp;Nippon Steel (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>), potentially as soon as Friday, Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.
Despite Biden&#8217;s previous&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42779827/joe-biden-to-decide-on-nippon-steels-14-9b-us-steel-acquisition-on-friday-amid-veto-offer-labor-concerns">opposition to foreign ownership </a>of&nbsp;the American steel giant, the decision remains pending.
In a strategic move to gain approval, Nippon Steel has proposed granting&nbsp;the U.S. government direct veto&nbsp;power over any changes in production at U.S. Steel&#8217;s facilities. The Japanese company has also committed to maintaining production levels at its mills in six states for a decade, contingent on approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
The deal has received backing from key CFIUS members, including the Justice, Treasury, and State Departments. However, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai has raised concerns about labor issues. CBS News reports that U.S. Steel may pursue legal action if President Biden blocks the acquisition, potentially targeting both the administration and competitor Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.
The White House has yet to respond to Benzinga&#8217;s queries.

Why It Matters: The proposed acquisition by Nippon Steel has stirred significant debate within the U.S. government. CFIUS had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42751615/nippon-steel-proposes-biden-government-veto-over-us-steels-production-output-in-bid-to-secure-acquisition">previously warned that a takeover </a>by the Japan-based company could lead to reduced domestic steel output, posing risks to national security.
President Biden&#8217;s decision is complicated by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/12/42666379/joe-biden-faces-decisive-call-on-nippon-steels-14-9b-bid-for-us-steel-amid-national-security-concerns">opposition from United Steelworkers </a>Union President&nbsp;David McCall, who criticized the bid as detrimental to workers and questioned Nippon Steel&#8217;s commitment to unionized operations. Despite internal debates within the White House, Biden&#8217;s stance diverges from that of&nbsp;some advisers who support the acquisition.

China is expanding consumption subsidies to include smartphones and other electronics.
What Happened: The national trade-in program, which currently covers home appliances and vehicles, will now extend to personal devices such as phones, tablets, and smartwatches.
Officials from China&#8217;s top economic planning agency announced this expansion during a briefing on Friday, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-03/china-to-subsidize-smartphone-purchases-in-bid-to-lift-spending">reported</a> Bloomberg.

Why It Matters: Quantum computers, leveraging qubits, offer the potential to revolutionize computing by exponentially accelerating complex calculations.
Google&#8217;s recent Willow chip, showcasing advancements in quantum memory, achieved a benchmark computation in minutes that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years. Despite this progress, high error rates remain a significant hurdle, hindering widespread commercial adoption and creating uncertainty around the timeline for practical applications.
According to Jon Najarian, the co-founder of Market Rebellion, Rigetti is a standout in the quantum computing space.
