Both the blue-chip cryptocurrencies witnessed thin trading volume in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
Over $276 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for $204 million.&nbsp;

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Sriram Krishnan, former general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, as senior policy advisor for AI.
What Happened: In a statement on Sunday, Trump said that Krishnan will serve in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, working closely with David Sacks, recently named Trump's &#8220;AI and crypto czar.&#8221;

He also has a close relationship with Elon Musk, who co-leads the Department of Government Efficiency under Trump.
Previously, Krishnan has advocated for a more innovative, technology-driven approach to resolving conflicts between large internet platforms and AI-powered models like OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT.
Following Trump's announcement, venture capital powerhouse Marc Andreessen took to X, formerly Twitter, and called Krishnan's appointment a "1,000x upgrade for the U.S. government," for positioning itself as a global AI policy leader.
Musk agreed with Andreessen's sentiments.

Trump Taps Sriram Krishnan As Senior AI Advisor — Elon Musk Agrees New David Sacks Underling 'Right Man For The Topic And The Time'

Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino strongly rejected President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s suggestion to return the Panama Canal to U.S. control, highlighting potential tensions that could affect maritime trade through the critical waterway.
What Happened: &#8220;Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent zone belongs to Panama, and will continue to do so,&#8221; Mulino said in a video statement on Sunday. 
His response came after Trump told supporters at Turning Point&#8217;s &#8220;American Fest&#8221; that he would demand the canal&#8217;s return to U.S. control, citing concerns over fees and fair treatment, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5053110-president-of-panama-fires-back-at-trump-canal-belongs-to-panama/">reported</a> The Hill.
"It was given to Panama and to the people of Panama, but it has provisions. You got to treat us fairly and they haven't treated us fairly," Trump said.

The Panama Canal, transferred to Panamanian control in 1999, serves as a crucial maritime route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The waterway handles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/07/14072752/commentary-expansion-of-the-panama-canal-benefits-global-trade">approximately 12,000 vessel transits</a> annually and is particularly vital for U.S. East Coast ports, which have seen stronger cargo growth since the canal&#8217;s 2016 expansion.
Mulino defended the canal&#8217;s fee structure, explaining that rates &#8220;are established publicly and in an open hearing, taking into account market conditions, international competition, operating costs, and maintenance needs.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The canal&#8217;s significance to U.S. trade is substantial. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/12/42507134/hive-digital-technologies-nasdaq-hive-experiences-monumental-month-amid-tech-tailwinds-tri">FreightWaves data</a>, shipping costs from Asia to U.S. East Coast ports via the canal are approximately $1,400 higher per standard forty-foot container compared to West Coast routes, reflecting the waterway&#8217;s strategic importance in global trade.
Recent challenges include climate-related issues, with the Panama Canal Authority implementing additional fees due to historically low water levels. In 2019, total rainfall dropped 20%, affecting the Gatun and Madden Lakes that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/12/42507134/hive-digital-technologies-nasdaq-hive-experiences-monumental-month-amid-tech-tailwinds-tri">supply the canal</a>.
Despite the diplomatic tension, Mulino expressed hope for maintaining strong bilateral relations with the incoming Trump administration, particularly on security issues like illegal migration and drug trafficking. However, he emphasized that Panama&#8217;s sovereignty over the canal is &#8220;not negotiable.&#8221;

Trump's Call To Reclaim Panama Canal Sparks Backlash: 'Every Square Meter Belongs To Panama,' Says President Mulino

Sen. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42494409/bernie-sanders-proposes-taxing-income-over-1-billion-at-100-and-urges-its-time-to-make-greedy-billionaires-pay-their-fair-share">Bernie Sanders</a> has sparked conversation on social media with a post tying universal health care to an idea floated by President-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future">Donald Trump</a>. According to The Associated Press (AP), at a dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in November, Trump jokingly suggested that Canada become the 51st state of the United States of America.&nbsp;
In Sanders' post on X, he wrote: "Trump has suggested that Canada become the 51st state in our union. Does that mean we can adopt the Canadian health care system and guarantee health care to all, lower the cost of prescription drugs and spend 50% less per capita on health care? I&#8217;m all for it."

<li>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>.</li>
</ul>
Sanders, a longtime proponent of universal health care, has drawn attention to Canada's single-payer health care model. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), in 2020, Canada&#8217;s per capita spending on health care was CA$7,507 (USD$5,220), less than half the United States per capita spending of CA$15,275 (USD$10,622). Sanders has frequently criticized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42491306/is-u-s-health-insurance-failing-the-sickest-and-poorest-new-study-reveals-49-million-americans-lack-proper-health-coverage">U.S. health care system</a> for its high costs and gaps in access.
Trump's comment about Canada becoming the 51st state was made during a meeting with Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago in November. The meeting, which followed Trump&#8217;s threats to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, came at Trudeau's request. According to AP, the meeting was overall positive and covered subjects including trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China and pipelines.&nbsp;

The notion of Canada becoming a U.S. state has been explored, typically as a thought experiment. Constitutional experts cited by the National Post highlighted the significant political, legal and cultural hurdles such a transition would face. Both nations must agree to monumental changes, including constitutional amendments in the U.S. and Canada relinquishing its sovereignty.
AP also pointed out that Canada is a vital economic partner to the U.S., with 77% of its exports going to American markets. Canada also supplies critical resources, such as energy and minerals, to the U.S., which would make any trade disruption mutually damaging.

While Trump's statehood comment may not have been serious, Sanders' response has reignited debates over health care in the U.S. Many Americans consider Canada's system a model for reducing costs and improving access. However, opponents argue that implementing such a system in the U.S. would be complicated and expensive.
Though the concept of Canada becoming the 51st state remains speculative at best, it has provided a platform for renewed discussion on trade, immigration and health care<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41866438/donald-trumps-second-term-could-reshape-us-healthcare-system-with-major-impacts-on-affordable-care-act-and-medicare"> policy</a>. Whether prompted by Sanders&#8217; advocacy for universal health care or Trump's tariff threats, the conversation underscores the interconnectedness of U.S.-Canada relations.

Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder and major Democratic donor, has revealed he has faced violent threats and had to hire security following accusations fueled by Elon Musk. 
What Happened: The claims, made by Musk on social media platform X and during interviews, allege a connection between Hoffman and Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender.
Hoffman <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/companies/article/linkedin-founder-reid-hoffman-ive-had-threats-of-violence-since-musk-slanders-nfclq2s0r">told</a> The Sunday Times that Musk&#8217;s comments stemmed from &#8220;convictions with no evidence.&#8221; Musk, the CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), replied with the &#8220;100&#8221; emoji to an X post suggesting Hoffman had visited Epstein's private island.
Musk also implied during an interview with Tucker Carlson that Hoffman was one of the "billionaires behind Kamala" Harris, fearful of Epstein's client list being released.
"Elon's defamation makes me angry and sad," Hoffman said. "Angry because it is an ugly assault. Sad because it comes from someone whose entrepreneurial achievements I continue to admire." Hoffman declined to share details of the threats but confirmed he had hired security in response.

Hoffman admitted to a past interaction with Epstein, apologizing in 2019 for inviting him to a 2015 dinner party with tech luminaries, including Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Peter Thiel. At the time, Hoffman said he relied on assurances from MIT Media Lab that Epstein's involvement in fundraising had been vetted. 
He later expressed regret, writing to Axios, "By agreeing to participate in any fundraising activity where Epstein was present, I helped to repair his reputation and perpetuate injustice. For this, I am deeply regretful."
Hoffman has denied attending any Epstein-related events, stating, "I went to no Epstein parties. I didn't even know who he was."
The controversy emerges as Musk strengthens ties with President elect Donald Trump, co-chairing DOGE alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. 
Hoffman, a vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, has used X to oppose Trump's political campaigns, describing them as a "scam."

LinkedIn Cofounder Reid Hoffman Says Musk's Baseless Jeffrey Epstein Claims Forced Him To Hire Security: 'Elon's Defamation Makes Me Angry'

Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has accused Elon Musk of remotely disabling his Tesla Cybertruck, which Kadyrov claimed was a gift from Musk. The Chechen leader made the allegations in a Telegram post, criticizing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40504595/military-expert-calls-russian-president-allys-tesla-cybertruck-super-cool-but-useless-combat-vehicle">Musk's actions as "unmanly."</a>
What Happened: Kadyrov, who has governed Chechnya since 2007, claimed the modified Cybertruck, equipped with a machine gun, was intended for use in the war against Ukraine. "Elon Musk behaved badly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then turns them off remotely," Kadyrov <a href="https://t.me/RKadyrov_95/5103">wrote</a>. He also noted in the post that he had to tow the vehicle after it was disabled. 
While Kadyrov asserted that Musk had personally gifted him the Cybertruck, Musk has categorically denied the claim. The mystery surrounding how Kadyrov obtained the vehicle is heightened by the fact that US sanctions prohibit direct export of the Cybertruck to Chechnya. 
Earlier in August, Kadyrov had publicly showcased the vehicle,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40432032/putin-ally-unveils-tesla-cybertruck-with-machine-gun-invites-musk-to-russia"> calling it a "Cyberbeast" and praising its technology</a>.

Experts have voiced skepticism about the utility of the Cybertruck in combat scenarios. Mark Cancian, a senior advisor with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the vehicle would be "totally useless" on the battlefield due to its weight and charging requirements. 
Despite Kadyrov's assertions of the truck's combat readiness, analysts doubt its practicality in war zones.
This incident highlights broader concerns regarding Tesla's vehicle security and the potential misuse of its products in conflict areas. 
The ability to remotely disable vehicles could raise questions about the implications for international security and Tesla's reputation as a global brand.

Putin Ally Claims Elon Musk 'Remotely Disabled' His Militarized Cybertruck Armed With Machine Gun: 'He Gives Expensive Gifts From Heart, And Then Turns Them Off'

Jeff Bezos, billionaire founder of Amazon, is reportedly set to marry his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, next Saturday in a $600 million Winter Wonderland-themed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36631415/this-amazon-applicants-interview-answer-earned-her-a-seat-3-feet-away-from-amazons-bezos">wedding in Aspen, Colorado</a>.
What Happened: According to a report, the lavish celebration follows a private engagement dinner at Matsuhisa, a high-end sushi restaurant the couple reportedly bought out for two days ahead of their nuptials.
The extravagant event is expected to feature festive decor, twinkling lights, and holiday charm. The guest list for the star-studded wedding is rumored to include high-profile names like Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio and Queen Rania of Jordan, who joined the couple for their engagement celebrations in Positano, Italy, earlier this year.
As per the report <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14217859/Jeff-Bezos-Lauren-Sanchez-wedding-plan-Aspen-date-is.html">by</a> The Daily Mail, Bezos, 60, and Sanchez, 54, became engaged in May 2023 aboard Bezos' mega-yacht. The billionaire proposed with a cushion-cut pink diamond ring estimated to be worth $2.5 million.
While the pair have not publicly confirmed their wedding date, the report signals a high-profile event reflective of their luxurious lifestyle.

The couple first went public with their relationship in 2019, shortly after Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott. 
Sanchez, a former broadcast journalist, shares three children from previous relationships, including two with Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell and one with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. Bezos shares three children with his ex-wife Scott.
News of the wedding comes as Amazon workers continue to strike across four states, marking the third consecutive day of demonstrations. 
Employees are protesting workplace conditions, a move that adds an interesting juxtaposition to Bezos' high-profile personal milestone.

President-elect Donald Trump has intensified his legal assault on the media, filing multiple lawsuits seeking damages for what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42571395/trumps-djt-connection-drives-this-lesser-known-crypto-stocks-nearly-3x-surge-in-a-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he claims are false or misleading reports</a>.
Trump has also leveraged civil anti-fraud laws, aiming to circumvent the typically high legal barriers in defamation cases involving public figures, reports Reuters.
Legal experts believe this broad approach could serve to punish media outlets for critical coverage and force them to face financial consequences.
One of the most high-profile cases involves The Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer, filed in Iowa state court.

The lawsuit stems from a pre-election poll that showed Kamala Harris leading Trump by 3 percentage points in Iowa. Trump, who ultimately won the state by a wide margin, accuses the newspaper and Selzer of "brazen election interference," alleging they manipulated the poll and leaked it to Democratic operatives before publication.
While the Register acknowledged that the poll did not reflect the final election outcome, they stand by their reporting and consider the lawsuit without merit. Trump's legal team is seeking unspecified damages and demands an injunction to prevent deceptive practices related to the poll.
The lawsuit also targets Gannett, the parent company of The Des Moines Register, and accuses it of violating Iowa&#8217;s Consumer Fraud Act.

Trump Continues Court Battle With Media With Lawsuit Against Des Moines Register

Warren Buffett, the iconic investor and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), is renowned for his timeless <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40151169/how-a-holiday-meeting-sparked-a-billion-dollar-friendship-between-bill-gates-warren-buffett">advice on wealth-building</a>.
What Happened: With a net worth of approximately $142 billion, Buffett's strategies resonate deeply with those seeking financial success. Among his key pieces of advice: start investing early, focus on small companies, and don't panic when stocks fluctuate.
During the 1999 annual shareholders' meeting, Buffett <a href="https://buffett.cnbc.com/video/1999/05/03/buffetts-advice-on-making-big-money.html">shared</a> the approach he would take if he were a recent graduate starting out with $10,000 to invest.
Buffett emphasizes the power of compound interest, likening it to rolling a small snowball down a long hill. 
"The trick is to have a very long hill, which means either starting very young or living, to be very old," he said during the shareholders' meeting. Early investing, he argues, allows your money to grow exponentially over time.
For those with limited funds, Buffett recommends focusing on smaller companies, where there's less competition from institutional investors. 
He noted that investing in good businesses, or "buying pieces of them" through stocks at attractive prices, is the key to multiplying wealth. 
Buffett said that if he were starting with $10,000 today, he'd begin by researching companies alphabetically, starting with names that begin with "A."

Buffett also stresses the importance of long-term thinking. "Some people should not own stocks at all because they just get too upset with price fluctuations. If you're gonna do dumb things because your stock goes down, you shouldn't own a stock at all," he <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/17/warren-buffett-tips-on-how-to-invest-in-the-stock-market.html">told</a> CNBC in 2018.
Stock prices will inevitably dip at times, but Buffett urges investors to remain patient and focus on the long-term value of their holdings. "Buy something you like, at a price you like, and then hold it for 20 years," he advised.
He further warns against obsessing over daily stock price fluctuations. Comparing stock ownership to real estate, he said, "If you bought a farm or an apartment house, you wouldn't get a quote on it every day or every week." Instead, Buffett recommends treating stocks as long-term investments, ignoring short-term market noise.
Buffett's principles—start early, think long-term, and invest in solid businesses—remain guiding lights for those looking to build lasting wealth.

Warren Buffett's Timeless Advice: 'If You're Gonna Do Dumb Things Because Your Stock Goes Down, You Shouldn't Own A Stock At All'

Imagine climbing to the top of Hollywood, making millions and living a life that screams "success" – then walking away from it all to live in a trailer park. It sounds like the plot of a quirky indie film. Still, it's the real-life story of Tom Shadyac, the director behind some of Hollywood's most iconic comedies, including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Bruce Almighty.
Shadyac <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42468734/nba-legend-shaq-owned-17-auntie-annes-franchises-but-sold-them-after-realizing-black-people-dont-like-pretzels-that-much">didn't just flirt with success</a>; he made a fortune off it. His films have grossed over $2 billion worldwide. He directed blockbusters like The Nutty Professor and Liar Liar, working with megastars like Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy. Shadyac's net worth was around $50 million at his peak. According to Celebrity Net Worth in 2024, he owned a sprawling 17,000-square-foot mansion, a private jet and enough exotic cars to make Jay Leno jealous. And yet, Shadyac claims, "I was my least successful when I ‘had it all.'"

So, what makes a man trade in a mansion for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/23/12/36364647/shark-tank-star-barbara-corcoran-owns-a-1-million-double-wide-mobile-home-she-calls-her-taj-mahal-wh">1,000-square-foot double-wide</a> in a Malibu trailer park?&nbsp;
Shadyac started in Hollywood as a joke writer for Bob Hope, but his big break came with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994. The film, made on a modest $15 million budget, grossed over $100 million and turned Jim Carrey into a household name. From there, Shadyac's career skyrocketed.
He directed hit after hit: The Nutty Professor ($273 million worldwide), Liar Liar ($302 million) and Bruce Almighty ($485 million). For Bruce Almighty, Shadyac even negotiated a piece of the back-end profits, raking in over $30 million for that film alone. At the time, Shadyac was living the ultimate Hollywood dream.
But it wasn't long before the dream started feeling more like a trap.

In 2007, Shadyac's life took a dramatic turn. A biking accident left him with a severe concussion and chronic symptoms like migraines and hypersensitivity to light and sound. For months, he was essentially confined to his mansion, his mental health spiraling. He later admitted, "I felt suicidal at points. It was a disaster."
During this dark time, Shadyac had an epiphany. His extravagant lifestyle – private jets, luxury cars, a massive home – felt hollow. The things that were supposed to signify success had become "trappings."
Shadyac decided to give away his fortune in a move that shocked Hollywood. He sold his mansion, his cars and his jet. He then started <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/01/36830715/jeff-bezoss-ex-wife-mackenzie-scott-has-given-over-16-billion-to-charity-since-her-divorce-as-jeff-b">donating millions to causes close to his heart</a>, like homelessness, environmental conservation and animal welfare. He even helped fund a homeless shelter in Charlottesville, Virginia and supported St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Shadyac moved into a trailer park in Malibu, where his modest home stands in dramatic contrast to the lives of Hollywood's elite. He says the decision was liberating:
"The more I give away, the wealthier I feel. For everything I ‘gave up,' so much more was returned."
Shadyac didn't just change his ZIP code; he changed his entire worldview. In 2011, he directed I Am, a documentary exploring two fundamental questions: "What's wrong with the world?" and "What can we do about it?" The film examines the pursuit of happiness and the consequences of excessive materialism.
He executive-produced Happy, another documentary examining what brings joy across different cultures. These projects reflect Shadyac's belief that life isn't about accumulating wealth but building connections and giving back.
Trending: 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>
As he puts it:
"No one is ever looking to have a more robust IRA when they are on their deathbed. They are saying, ‘I am so happy that I had the opportunity to love this family, to be a part of something.'"
Shadyac's story reminds us that success isn't just about what you earn; it's about what you give back. While his Hollywood peers chase box office records and six-figure paychecks, Shadyac has found peace in simplicity.
It's easy to dismiss his decision as extreme, but Shadyac sees it differently. To him, living a life centered on giving and purpose is far more fulfilling than jet-setting and luxury cars. "The trappings of fame and fortune are exactly that – a trapping," he says.
From the director's chair to a double-wide in Malibu, Tom Shadyac has proved that happiness isn't about having it all but knowing what truly matters.

'I Was My Least Successful When I Had It All' – Ace Ventura Director Made $50 Million Then Gave It All Away To Live In A Trailer Park

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, has dismissed concerns surrounding Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy Inc., suggesting fears of a potential collapse due to Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) volatility are exaggerated. 
What Happened: In an interview on Friday, Scaramucci pointed to Saylor's long-term debt strategy as evidence of MicroStrategy's resilience.
"People think if Bitcoin crashes, he is going to implode," Bloomberg quoted Scaramucci <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-20/scaramucci-says-concern-over-microstrategy-s-debt-is-overblown?sref=TBDibEcD">saying</a> during the interview. "But if you really study his balance sheet, he has long, long-term debt, and he has rolling long-term debt. You'd have to have a systemic collapse in Bitcoin lasting six or seven years to flash him out." 
MicroStrategy's bold bet on Bitcoin has driven a more than 400% surge in its stock this year, while the company financed purchases with billions in convertible debt.
The company currently has $7.2 billion in outstanding convertible debt, including $6 billion raised in 2024 alone. While some worry Bitcoin's price drops could force MicroStrategy to offload its holdings, further depressing prices, Scaramucci argued this narrative is overblown, reports the outlet.

"The narrative of him being forced to sell hundreds of thousands of tokens into the market, I think it's a forced narrative," he said, comparing MicroStrategy's structure to that of Lehman Brothers' during the 2008 financial crisis.
MicroStrategy remains a top holding of the First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF, sub-advised by SkyBridge Capital. Scaramucci praised Saylor's innovative approach, saying, "He's created this positive flywheel by issuing debt and equity."
Why It Matters: Bitcoin has recently pulled back from an all-time high of $108,000, retreating amid profit-taking and market volatility. Scaramucci anticipates potential corrections in the 30-40% range, which could bring Bitcoin's price to $60,000-$70,000. 
However, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term trajectory, citing favorable regulatory developments and U.S. exchange-traded funds investing directly in the cryptocurrency.
"Could it get to $18 trillion dollars in market cap?" Scaramucci speculated. "We believe that it could. Is it a direct line to $18 trillion? No."

Quantum Computing, BlackBerry And Lucid Group Are Among Top Mid Cap Gainers Last Week (December 16-20): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Robert Kiyosaki, businessman and author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is once again sounding the alarm about a potential global financial crisis.
What Happened: In a recent post on X, he urged individuals to take action now by investing in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, which he views as essential assets for safeguarding wealth.
Kiyosaki didn't mince words when criticizing the current financial system, labeling the U.S. government, Treasury, and Federal Reserve as a "Den of Thieves." 
His distrust stems from key historical events, such as the 1965 replacement of silver coins with cheaper alloys and President Richard Nixon's 1971 decision to take the U.S. off the gold standard. Kiyosaki believes these actions marked the beginning of a financial system in decline.

A long-time critic of fiat currency, which he calls "fake money," Kiyosaki argues that it exploits the public and erodes wealth. Instead, he advocates for tangible assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, which he sees as reliable ways to preserve value during uncertain times.

In addition to his investment recommendations, Kiyosaki underscores the importance of financial education. He encourages individuals to learn about money and make informed investment decisions. "Use resources like YouTube to educate yourself," he said, urging people to take control of their financial futures.
As concerns about financial instability grow, Kiyosaki's warnings resonate with many investors seeking to safeguard their wealth. 
His advice to invest in real assets and prioritize financial literacy offers a practical approach to navigating uncertain economic times.

Kiyosaki Warns of Global Financial Crisis: 'Protect Your Wealth by Investing in Real Assets'

According to JP Morgan, U.S. large-cap biopharma stocks have underperformed the broader market for two consecutive years, with mixed sentiment shaping investor outlook for 2025.
Despite strong fundamentals and advancements in drug pipelines, factors such as political uncertainty and sector rotation have hindered the sector's performance relative to the S&amp;P 500.
In 2024, biopharma stocks rose by 9.6%, falling short of the S&amp;P 500's 28.5% surge. However, JP Morgan analysts maintain a positive outlook for several key players.
Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), a top pick for the firm, is projected to see continued growth in its diabetes and obesity treatments, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mounjaro and Zepbound</a>. The analyst also pointed to the company's robust pipeline and forecasted double-digit revenue and earnings growth into the 2030s.
Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) has been added to JP Morgan's Analyst Focus List due to the strong potential of its schizophrenia drug, Cobenfy, which could achieve peak sales of $10 billion.
Similarly, Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) are expected to recover in 2025, following challenges in 2024 related to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38208816/eye-drug-eylea-price-manipulation-regeneron-faces-us-justice-department-allegations-over-medicare" rel="noreferrer noopener">competitive pressures </a>and regional dynamics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40168774/mercks-blockbuster-vaccine-gardasil-sales-in-china-analyst-highlights-challenges-an" rel="noreferrer noopener">affecting key products</a>.
Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) is poised for growth with the anticipated mid-2025 launch of lenacapavir <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GILD" rel="noreferrer noopener">for HIV prevention</a>.
The firm also highlighted AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) for its appealing valuation, supported by strong Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales despite fewer near-term <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline developments</a>.
Animal health stocks are also projected to rebound in 2025. JP Morgan views Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>) as the strongest pick in the sector, citing its potential for high single-digit revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41722660/zoetis-q3-earnings-beat-companion-animal-segment-growth-gives-confidence-into-2025-" rel="noreferrer noopener">growth and margin expansion</a>. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.

Specialty pharmaceuticals showed early signs of stabilization in 2024, benefiting from improved pricing stability and supply dynamics. Perrigo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGO#NYSE">PRGO</a>) and Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) are highlighted as promising opportunities, while Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) may face growth challenges despite delivering strong clinical trial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42561832/teva-pharmaceutical-releases-impressive-phase-2-candidate-data-for-gastro-related-diseases" rel="noreferrer noopener">results this year</a>.

Big Biopharma Trails Behind The Market: JP Morgan's 2025 Outlook on Eli Lilly, Merck, and More

Victims of the hacking of defunct New Zealand-based crypto exchange Cryptopia are finally seeing restitution, with $225 million in digital assets being distributed to former account holders.
What Happened: The distributions mark a significant milestone in the exchange's liquidation process, which has been ongoing since 2019.
According to the press <a href="https://www.grantthornton.co.nz/press/press-releases-2024/cryptopia-account-holders-receive-%24400m-from-liquidators/">release</a> from accounting firm Grant Thornton, over 10,000 verified users of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) have received their initial cryptocurrency distributions.
"Within the last 48 hours, over $225 million in cryptocurrency has been returned on-chain," the statement reads.
Cryptopia suffered a devastating hack in January 2019, leading to millions of dollars in crypto theft. By May of the same year, the company appointed liquidators, citing the move as being in the "best interests of customers, staff, and other stakeholders."

The liquidators ensured the distribution process adhered to a 2020 court ruling, which declared that digital assets held by Cryptopia are property in the context of liquidation. 
This legal precedent was critical in shaping the current distribution efforts and ensuring fair outcomes for affected users.
The milestone represents a long-awaited step forward for thousands of Cryptopia customers, many of whom have been waiting for years to recover their funds. 
With this progress, the liquidators aim to rebuild trust in the industry and demonstrate the potential for resolution in crypto-related legal cases.

Cryptopia Hack Victims Receive $225 Million In Distributions At Last

NBA great Michael Jordan has finally sold his sprawling mansion in the Chicago suburbs after over a decade on and off the market.
Originally listed in 2012 for $29 million, the nine-bedroom Highland Park estate recently sold for $9.5 million, according to property records. The 56,000-square-foot compound is on seven acres of land down the road from the Chicago Bulls' old practice facility, the Berto Center in Deerfield.
The buyer's identity has not yet been disclosed in public records and appears to have purchased the property without representation by a real estate agent.

The median sale price of a home in Highland Park was $729,000, up 19.9% since last year, according to Redfin. On average, homes in Highland Park sell after 56 days on the market, compared to 49 days last year.
"Even at its reduced price, Jordan's home sold for more than the multimillion-dollar homes near Lake Michigan, which rarely sell for more than $5 million," Reddit user wjbc posted on the platform. "As the real estate people say, ‘The top three keys to success in real estate are location, location, location.' If your home is much more expensive than the other homes in the neighborhood, it's usually going to be hard to sell, even if you are Michael Jordan."
Listing agent Katherine Malkin of Compass told The Wall Street Journal that Jordan purchased the property in 1991 and invested about $50 million to build the home.

The estate is filled with tributes to Jordan's legendary basketball career, including the number 23 prominently displayed on the front gate, his iconic Air Jordan logo on the full-size indoor basketball court and flagsticks on the putting green.
An infinity pool on the grounds includes a grass island.
Despite creative efforts to sell the property – such as offering a complete set of Air Jordans with the purchase and marketing the home through Mandarin-language videos targeting Jordan's fans in China – the mansion remained unsold and unoccupied for years.
Jordan now divides his time between North Carolina and Jupiter, Florida.

Financial Times Reported Sunday, Palantir, Anduril Reportedly Forming Consortium With Competitors To Jointly Bid For U.S. Government Contracts

In a strategic effort to enhance monetization opportunities within the Telegram ecosystem, TON has been working with Adsgram, a dedicated advertising platform tailored for Telegram.
Adsgram emerged from its founder Vadim Sterlin&#8216;s firsthand challenges in monetizing his Fanton game, highlighting a broader issue faced by the GameFi community on Telegram and the TON network.
As a seasoned Adtech product manager, Sterlin highlighted earlier this year in the Adsgram community the scarcity of effective tools for publishers to generate revenue through advertising, underscoring the urgent need for innovative solutions in this space.
Benzinga recently caught up with Sterlin, the CEO and founder of Adsgram. Here's an excerpt from the interaction.   
What factors contributed to Adsgram attracting over 550 mini apps in just six months?
The market required a simple, clear, and scalable solution for monetizing mini-apps, and we were the first to deliver something to meet this growing demand. Our team has a wealth of experience in developing mini-apps, having built one of TON ecosystem's most popular mini-apps in the form of Fanton fantasy football. This gave us unique insights into what developers actually need, and enabled us to refine and optimize the platform for an experience that is as user-friendly as possible.&nbsp; This set us apart from our competitors and helped us to attract many mini-apps to Adsgram during the early stages of our project.
Monetizing Telegram mini-apps has historically been challenging. Individual applications often struggle to connect with advertisers, especially when they're looking to engage larger players in the advertising market. Adsgram filled this gap in the market by offering a unified and seamless solution to help mini apps find new audiences and grow their products.&nbsp;
How does Adsgram tailor advertising specifically for Telegram mini apps compared to traditional ad platforms?
The way that mini-apps bridge Web2 and Web3 is a fascinating aspect of the platform. This position at the intersection of these two worlds opens up exciting opportunities to implement strategies that bridge these two ecosystems. Initially, users were primarily drawn to ads for the rewards they offered in terms of user acquisition. Traffic characteristics and working funnels had to be adjusted, and users had to be educated on how to interact with the new model that we are looking to popularise.&nbsp; Over time, advertisers and users have adapted, creating a mutually beneficial system.&nbsp;
The hallmark of advertising in mini-apps is its simplicity. We intentionally set strict limits on the size of banners and video clips to ensure that any user, on any device, can easily view and engage with the advertising content. A recent innovation we've introduced is the ability for developers to target users by wallet. In addition to traditional targeting options, such as location, language, platform, and premium accounts, focusing on wallet activity grants a deeper understanding of user behaviour in the Web3 space &#8211; this allows advertisers to identify the most financially active and crypto-savvy users within the Telegram ecosystem.
What makes Adsgram attractive to large mobile applications and service providers as advertising partners?
The traffic generated through Telegram Mini Apps (TMA) is not only highly cost-effective but also exceptionally transaction oriented. This is particularly evident when looking at cryptocurrency, where many of the most successful recent projects have leveraged blockchain and airdrop technologies to drive engagement. What sets Adsgram apart is its ability to tap into Telegram's vast audience, which is now close to exceeding one billion users.
How did you identify the need for a dedicated advertising platform within the Telegram mini apps ecosystem?
In 2024, several applications experienced rapid growth, including Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, and Blum. However, all of them relied on inefficient, manual ad sales. This sparked our interest in automating ad sales and building an open, transparent advertising marketplace for Telegram mini-apps. To bring this vision to life, we collaborated with TON Foundation, who believed in our idea and supported the development of Adsgram.
What new features or enhancements can we expect from Adsgram as the mini app space continues to grow? We recently introduced additional targeting options for VPN and wallet users. Further enhancing targeting accuracy and precision will remain a key focus as Adsgram evolves. The market is evolving rapidly, bringing with it new demands for advertising. In response, we've already expanded our platform with several new advertising formats. In the future, we plan to introduce task functionality for our partners. This functionality will help to engage users with our advertising even further, with both the application hosting ads and the user earning crypto rewards for engaging with our product. These tasks will undergo manual moderation, ensuring quality and providing our partners with even more opportunities to earn.
