Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of the now-collapsed cryptocurrency lender&nbsp;Celsius Network, was sentenced to a 12-year prison term for securities and commodities fraud on Thursday.
What Happened: The sentencing was delivered&nbsp;by U.S. District Judge John&nbsp;Koeltl in Manhattan, according to a Reuters report. Federal prosecutors charged Mashinsky with deceiving customers about the safety of Celsius and artificially boosting the value of the exchange&#8217;s native token, Celsius (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">CEL</a>).
The prosecution had pushed for a minimum 20-year prison term, claiming it was a &#8220;just punishment&#8221; for Mashinsky&#8217;s actions that caused thousands of victims and led to billions in losses. They said Mashinsky personally profited more than $48 million from the scheme.

Mashinsky had proposed a sentence of&nbsp;one year and one day, expressing regret and a wish to reconcile with&nbsp;his family and former Celsius&nbsp;customers, the report said. His sentence also&nbsp;includes three years of supervised&nbsp;release and a $48.4 million&nbsp;forfeiture.
The sentencing follows his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42307121/celsius-network-founder-alex-mashinsky-pleads-guity-to-two-counts-of-fraud-including-manipulating-in-house-cryptos-price">admission of guilt</a> to two counts of fraud in December 2024. Mashinsky admitted to&nbsp;providing Celsius customers with "false comfort" by falsely claiming in a 2021 interview that Celsius had received regulatory approval for its "Earn" program.
His arrest in 2023 followed the collapse of Celsius and a Department of Justice inquiry into the company's downfall. The company applied for bankruptcy protection in 2022. 
However, the firm exited bankruptcy in early 2024, beginning a $3 billion repayment to its creditors.

Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong, on Thursday, touched on the wisdom of traditional banks launching their own stablecoins in light of their foray into the cryptocurrency industry.
What Happened: During the first quarter earnings call, Armstrong was asked about the growing interest of traditional banks in the cryptocurrency industry after regulatory relaxations. 
The top executive acknowledged the increased momentum, stating that Coinbase has held talks and forged partnerships with some players.
Armstrong specifically mentioned some institutions wanting to develop their own dollar-pegged stablecoins, an idea with which he differed.
&#8220;Our view is that that's not necessarily the best path because we think stablecoins have network effects. You want interoperability with other financial institutions to be able to settle payments and do all kinds of things,&#8221; Armstrong said.
He suggested that banks should consider partnering with existing stablecoins like USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>). 
Note that Coinbase has an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/33972625/coinbase-acquires-equity-stake-in-circle-a-new-era-for-usdc">equity stake</a> in Circle, the issuing company behind USDC. In fact, USDC was launched by Centre, a consortium formed through a joint venture between&nbsp;Circle&nbsp;and&nbsp;Coinbase.

This development follows&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45302422/coinbase-q1-earnings-highlights-revenue-eps-miss-2025">Coinbase&#8217;s first-quarter earnings report</a>, where the company missed revenue and EPS expectations.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Believes Traditional Banks Launching Own Stablecoins 'Not Necessarily The Best' Path— Pitches USDC As Option

Editor's Note: This article has been updated to clarify that Amazon and Inventec received AMD shares as part of AMD's acquisition of ZT Systems, not through a direct investment or strategic stake.
Recent regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) now holds 822,234 shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), valued at approximately $84.4 million.&nbsp;
What Happened: According to AMD's recent SEC filing, the company acquired ZT Group International, a server manufacturer, as part of its ongoing business expansion.&nbsp;
As part of the acquisition, AMD issued shares to former ZT Group shareholders-including Amazon, who held an equity stake in ZT Group prior to the acquisition.
"We are registering the offer and sale of the shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholders to satisfy registration rights we granted to them pursuant to a stock purchase agreement…We are not selling any shares of our common stock under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock by the selling stockholders," AMD said in the regulatory filing.

Why It Matters: Aside from Amazon, major recipients of AMD shares in the ZT Systems acquisition include Inventec, set to receive 883,954 shares.
In total, over 8.3 million AMD shares are being distributed among ZT Systems' former shareholders as part of the $4.9 billion cash-and-stock deal.
AMD on Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45237261/amd-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-driven-by-expanding-data-center-ai-momentum-chipmaker-expects-strong-growth-in-2025">reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $7.44 billion, with its data center segment growing 57% year-over-year to $3.7 billion.

Amazon Now Holds AMD Stake Worth $84.4 Million After Lisa Su-Led Chipmaker Acquires ZT Systems (CORRECTED)

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">reportedly redesigning</a> its H20 artificial intelligence chip for the Chinese market after U.S. export controls effectively blocked the original version, with plans to launch the modified chip as early as July.
What Happened: Nvidia has notified major Chinese customers, including top cloud service providers, that it intends to release a downgraded H20 chip within the next two months, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The move comes after the U.S. government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">informed Nvidia last month</a> that the original H20 would require an export license, effectively banning it from sale in China under tightened national security rules.
Following this, Nvidia revealed that export restrictions might lead to a revenue loss of $5.5 billion.

The company has since developed new technical thresholds to guide the modified design, which will include substantial reductions in memory capacity and potentially other performance adjustments, the report noted.
Nvidia did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: Chinese tech giants such as Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and ByteDance earlier this year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">ramped up H20 orders to fuel</a> a growing demand for cost-effective AI solutions, especially from startups like DeepSeek.
Since January, Nvidia has reportedly accumulated $18 billion worth of H20 orders. However, in March, Chinese server maker H3C warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">possible shortage</a> of Nvidia's H20 chips.
Earlier this month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang informed U.S. lawmakers that AI chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45157365/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-us-lawmakers-that-export-bans-are-backfiring-fueling-huaweis-rise-in-global-ai-chip-race">export restrictions might be giving</a> China's Huawei Technologies a competitive advantage.
That same day, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45160136/nvidia-blasts-anthropic-for-backing-stricter-chip-bans-on-china-focus-on-innovation-than-tell-tall-tales">Nvidia also criticized</a> AI startup Anthropic for supporting tighter U.S. export controls on AI chips to China.
Price Action: Nvidia shares dipped by 0.27% to $117.05 in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gave Nvidia a strong growth score of 94.76%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other major tech players</a> like Alibaba and Tencent.

Nvidia Modifies H20 Chip For China After US Restrictions Block Sales, Aims To Deliver New Version By July: Report

On Thursday, Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, became <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298795/who-is-new-pope-leo-xiv-francis-appointee-first-american-pope-has-supported-workers-rights">the first American pope</a> — despite previously using social media to push back on Donald Trump-era policies, the president says he looks forward to their historic meeting.
What Happened: A review of Pope Leo XIV&#8217;s social media history on X, formerly Twitter, revealed that Prevost had shared or reposted messages over the years that criticized several Trump administration policies, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5290441-pope-leo-social-media-criticism-trump-vance/">reported</a> The Hill.
Among his posts were:

In a 2023 interview with the Vatican News Service, Prevost acknowledged the influence — and risk — of using social media as a religious leader, the report noted.&nbsp;
"Social media can be an important tool to communicate the Gospel message, reaching millions of people," he said. "At the same time… we really have to think several times before speaking or before writing a message… to answer or even just to ask questions in a public form, in full view of everyone."
He added, "Sometimes there is a risk of fueling divisions and controversy."
Why It's Important: On Thursday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he looked forward to meeting the new pontiff, writing, "It will be a very meaningful moment!"

Pope Leo XIV Didn't Spare Trump Administration Criticism On Social Media — Now The President Says He's 'Excited' And Looking Forward To Meeting The First American Catholic Pontiff

According to the latest data, zero-day-to-expiration (0DTE) options hit record high volumes this week, a sign that &#8220;risk appetite is skyrocketing,&#8221; say market observers.
What Happened: On Thursday night, popular investment newsletter The Kobeissi Letter shared a chart on X, made by options research firm Tier1 Alpha, illustrating the sharp rise in zero-day-to-expiration (0DTE) S&amp;P 500 option volumes in recent years.
The chart shows 0DTE volumes as a share of the total S&amp;P 500 option volumes, touching a staggering new high of 67% on Tuesday this week, &#8220;an all-time high.&#8221;
Zero-day-to-expiration (0DTE) options are contracts on stocks or indexes that expire on the same day they are traded, making them a popular tool for short-term speculation and intraday strategies.

The post highlights the growing popularity of these risky, ultra-short-term trading instruments, stating that their volume share has more than doubled over the past three years.

During the first quarter of 2025, the average daily volumes of 0DTE options contracts exceeded 2 million, &#8220;for the first time in history,&#8221; it says. The post notes that average daily 0DTE volumes stood at just 400,000 in the first quarter of 2022, not 400 million (which is a typo), marking a fivefold increase over the past three years.
It ends by stating that &#8220;Risk appetite has completely flipped.&#8221;

What Happened: Bitcoin breached the $100,000 milestone after a wait of three months, catalyzing a broader market uptick. The apex cryptocurrency nearly tapped $104,000 in a volatile session, with trading volume increasing by 59% in the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin&#8217;s gains were overwhelmed by its younger sibling, Ethereum, which burst out after weeks of sideways trading around the $1,800 range. The second-largest cryptocurrency breached $2,200, a level not seen in over two months.
The rally pushed Ethereum's market dominance past 8% for the first time in over a month.
Bearish leveraged traders took in huge losses as the rally wiped out nearly $800 million in short positions.
Interestingly, Bitcoin's Open Interest dropped 0.20% in the last 24 hours, indicating that the rally may have been driven by short covering. On the other hand, Ethereum's Open Interest surged 20%.
The "Greed" sentiment prevailed in the market, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization soared 6.91% in the last 24 hours to $3.22 trillion.
Stocks also climbed on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 254.48 points, or 0.62%, to end at 41,368.45. The S&amp;P 500 lifted 0.58% to close at 5,663.94, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 1.07% to finish at 17,928.14.

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analytics firm Santiment said the ongoing bullish sentiment could be a "double-edged sword" for upcoming price moves.
"On one hand, retail FOMO can add a bit of extra fuel to this rally as major media outlets spam Bitcoin&#8217;s 3-month milestone and bring in many new entries to the space. On the other hand, we typically see rallies put on the brakes when there is an overwhelming amount of calls related to &#8216;higher&#8217; or &#8216;above,&#8217;" the firm added.

Bitcoin Closing In On $104,000, Ethereum, Dogecoin Soar On Trade Deal Optimism: Analytics Firm Says Bullish Sentiment A 'Double-Edged Sword'

Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) is reshaping its streaming strategy, cutting back on sheer content volume and doubling down on premium franchises, all while striking licensing deals like sending Scooby-Doo over to Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
What Happened: On Thursday, during the company's first-quarter earnings call, WBD CEO David Zaslav explained how the company is moving away from the old "more is better" streaming mindset.
He praised the success of Warner Bros. Television Group CEO Channing Dungey's team, noting a strong performance with high-profile projects such as "Ted Lasso" and "Presumed Innocent" for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Zaslav highlighted that Presumed Innocent originated as a WBD title and was transformed into a compelling series before being sold to Apple — a deal he described as &#8220;very good business&#8221; for the company.
He also pointed to other notable titles like Shrinking, Bad Monkey, and Abbott Elementary—the latter being sold to Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)—as evidence of WBD&#8217;s reputation as a high-quality content provider.

However, he made a clear distinction when it comes to certain intellectual properties. Core franchises like "Wonder Woman," "Batman," "Superman" and "Supergirl," currently being developed under James Gunn and Peter Safran's 10-year DC roadmap, are being cultivated as global asset builders exclusive to Warner Bros. Discovery.
The WBD CEO said the same applies to "Harry Potter," noting a decade-long commitment with author JK Rowling and "Game of Thrones" as part of the studio's long-term strategy to develop and retain premium, globally recognizable IP.
&#8220;Those belong to us and they'll only belong to us forever because we're building big assets and a global differentiated strategy around that,&#8221; he stated.
However, Warner Bros. isn't locking up every piece of its massive library. Zaslav pointed to the recent example of Scooby-Doo, where the company sold a new show to Netflix to reach a broader audience.&nbsp;
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
"In some cases, we'll find with Scooby-Doo, we can sell something to Ted [Sarandos] and Netflix, and that can get very broad acceptance in the marketplace," Zaslav said. "And then we can follow it with a Scooby-Doo movie — that would be a real win-win for us."
WBD CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels added that this strategy shift does not mean Warner Bros. will dramatically ramp up or slash spending.
"We have significant growth ambitions for the streaming service and for the studio," he said, noting the company will support those goals with moderate increases in content spending over time.
Why It's Important: Warner Bros. posted a 9% year-over-year revenue decline (excluding foreign exchange impacts) to $8.98 billion, falling short of the analyst consensus estimate of $9.60 billion.
Streaming revenue rose 9% year-over-year (excluding foreign exchange effects) to $2.66 billion. The growth was driven in part by an 8% increase in distribution revenue, fueled by a 23% surge in subscribers thanks to Max's ongoing global rollout and new domestic distribution agreements.
Price Action: WBD shares rose 0.43% to $9.05 in Thursday's after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings assigns the stock a growth score of 5.89%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> Netflix, Disney, Apple, and other major players.

Warner Bros. Discovery Pulling Back From 'More Is Better' Streaming Strategy, Bets Big On Premium Content — And Letting Scooby-Doo Sniff Out New Fans On Netflix

Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>) is bracing for tighter margins in the second quarter as rising aluminum costs and tariff-related premiums begin to squeeze its bottom line.
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s first quarter earnings call on Thursday, Vice Chairman and Co-CEO, Hilton Schlosberg, said that Monster&#8217;s layered hedging strategy may not be able to contain certain costs, particularly the rise in aluminum prices stemming from the tariffs.
&#8220;We use a ladder approach for hedging, and it's very difficult and somewhat expensive to hedge the Midwest premium,&#8221; he said, referring to the regional surcharge applied to aluminum deliveries in the U.S. Midwest.

&#8220;To a limited degree, we are hedged with certain volumes in the Midwest premium,&#8221; Schlosberg said, while acknowledging, &#8220;we don't always win&#8221; with hedging. He added that the purpose of the company's hedging strategy is to manage risk and avoid leaving the business overly exposed to price volatility.
Looking ahead, Schlosberg warned that rising material costs, including the Midwest aluminum premium, are likely to pressure margins in the coming months. &#8220;I wouldn't expect that the second quarter margin will be as high as the first quarter margin,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: In February, Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) warned that the <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/02/43759161/coca-cola-warns-trumps-tariffs-could-force-it-to-use-more-plastic-if-aluminium-cans-become-more-expensive-we-can-shift-to-pet">tariffs on Aluminum</a> could force it to use more plastic to keep prices stable. &#8220;If aluminum cans become more expensive, we can put more emphasis on PET bottles,&#8221; the company&#8217;s CEO, James Quincey, said. 
Even Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), the largest aluminum producer in the U.S., recently disclosed that tariffs <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44858454/alcoa-warns-tariffs-could-cost-425-million-annually-this-is-the-most-material-impact-says-ceo">have taken a toll</a> on its bottom line, while estimating an annual earnings impact of $425 million. The company noted that 70% of its production based in Canada is destined for American consumers, making it vulnerable.
Monster Beverages is also expected to face certain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45188975/snap-spending-shift-could-hit-general-mills-pepsico-hard-warns-analyst">headwinds stemming from cuts</a> in the U.S. Federal Government&#8217;s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), with roughly 10% of its $123 billion annual budget being spent on soda. 
During its first quarter results, Monster reported $1.85 billion in revenue, down 2.3% year-over-year, with a profit of $0.45 per share, up 7.4% from last year. The company missed consensus estimates at the top and bottom lines. 
Price Action: The stock was down 0.69% on Thursday, and is down 0.73% after hours, following its first quarter, which fell short of analyst estimates.

Monster's CEO: 'We Don't Always Win' On Hedging—As Aluminum Tariffs Bite Into Q2 Margins

Vice President JD Vance has openly criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for his economic policies, particularly concerning inflation and trade agreements.
What Happened: During an interview with Fox News, Vance expressed dissatisfaction with Powell&#8217;s handling of economic issues. According to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5291493-jd-vance-jerome-powell-nice-guy-wrong-about-almost-everything/">The Hill</a>, Vance labeled Powell as a &#8220;nice guy&#8221; but criticized his delayed response to inflation and trade deals. Vance&#8217;s remarks echo recent criticisms from President Donald Trump, who has been vocal about his discontent with Powell&#8217;s decisions.
&#8220;Well, first of all, I think the president is right about Jerome Powell. Jerome Powell, he's a nice guy, but he's been wrong about almost everything. He was way too late in combating the Biden inflation, and now I think he's way too late in actually helping us fight back against some of these ridiculous trade deals that have stolen the wealth of the American people,&#8221; said Vance.
On Thursday, Trump likened discussions with Powell to &#8220;talking to a wall&#8221; and criticized the Fed&#8217;s decision to maintain interest rates between 4.25% and 4.5%. Trump pointed out that other central banks, such as the Bank of England and China, have opted to cut rates.
Powell defended the Fed&#8217;s stance, stating that the labor market remains strong and inflation is low, allowing for patience in policy adjustments. He also mentioned uncertainties around tariff policies and their potential economic impact. Powell, initially appointed by Trump in 2017, was reappointed by President Joe Biden.

Why It Matters: The Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to keep interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% marks the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45263291/fed-keeps-rates-steady-warns-of-rising-uncertainty-about-the-economic-outlook">third consecutive pause</a> in its interest-rate policy. The Fed has acknowledged increased uncertainty about the economic outlook. Despite calls for lower rates, the Fed&#8217;s decision aligns with expert predictions that it will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45283497/federal-reserve-will-be-the-last-to-cut-says-expert-anticipating-4-cuts-in-2025-a-thaw-in-us-china-trade-dispute-is-good-news">among the last central banks</a> to cut rates.
Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell is not new. Previously, Trump claimed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45093252/trump-says-he-knows-much-more-than-fed-chair-jerome-powell-about-interest-rates">know &#8220;much more&#8221; than Powell</a> about interest rates. Despite this, Trump has stated he has &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940900/us-futures-dollar-jump-amid-trumps-latest-comments-on-fed-nikkei-rebounds-to-three-week-high">no intention</a>&#8221; of firing Powell.

JD Vance Says Trump Is Right About Jerome Powell: The Fed Chair A 'Nice Guy' But 'Wrong About Almost Everything'

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant moves in the stock market, focusing on Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>).
The Shopify Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s funds, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>), collectively acquired 228,824 shares in Shopify. This move comes after Shopify reported a 26.8% year-over-year increase in revenue for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45286313/shopify-q1-gross-margin-contracts-misses-profit-estimate">fiscal first quarter</a>, reaching $2.36 billion, which surpassed analyst expectations of $2.33 billion. Despite this revenue growth, Shopify&#8217;s stock experienced a decline following the announcement due to a contraction in gross margins. On Thursday, the shares ended 0.5% lower at $94. The Ark purchase amounted to $21.5 million.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest trimmed its position in the Alex Karp-led company across its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW funds, offloading a total of 135,572 shares. Based on Thursday's closing price of $119.15—up 7.85% on the day—the trades were valued at approximately $16.1 million.
This decision follows Palantir&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45292541/palantir-pltr-stock-gains-5-thursday-whats-going-on">recent earnings report</a>, which showed a 39% increase in revenue year-over-year, reaching $883.86 million and surpassing analyst expectations. The company&#8217;s U.S. revenue saw a significant 55% rise, driven by a 71% surge in commercial revenue. Despite the positive earnings, Ark Invest has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45274539/cathie-wood-strengthens-ai-chip-holdings-with-nvidia-and-amd-purchases-reduces-palantir-position-by-another-38-8-million">trimming its position</a> in Palantir. On Wednesday, the firm offloaded shares worth $38.8 million, while on Tuesday it had sold $41 million worth. Palantir makes up 6.01% of Ark's portfolio by weight, with total holdings valued at $301.3 million.
The Block Trade
Ark Invest also decreased its stake in the Jack Dorsey-led company, selling a total of 256,593 shares across its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW funds. This decision follows Block&#8217;s disappointing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152696/block-shares-drop-after-worse-than-expected-q1-results-details">first-quarter earnings report</a>, which revealed earnings of 56 cents per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 87 cents. Additionally, the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused company&#8217;s quarterly revenue of $5.77 billion fell short of the expected $6.2 billion.
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>ARKK and ARKG purchased shares of Veracyte Inc. </li>
<li>ARKK acquired shares of GitLab Inc. </li>
<li>ARKG sold shares of Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. </li>

Cathie Wood's $21.5 Million Shopify Grab Defies Post-Earnings Dip, Ark Continues Dumping Palantir, Also Chops Jack Dorsey's Block

Memecoins inspired by Pope Leo XIV surged on Thursday after the U.S.-born priest was elected as the new global head of the Catholic Church.
What happened: Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based POPE267 skyrocketed 1080% in the last 24 hours, raking in a market capitalization of over $60 million, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/dexscan/solana/EdHLMZn7YpDytZUU2ojYRHaHiddmYKyxZz96S5Dwqy8G/">according </a>to CoinMarketCap. Over $14 million worth of tokens were transacted in the last 24 hours.
The memecoin refers to Leo XIV&#8217;s election as the Catholic Church&#8217;s 267th leader.
Similarly, a memecoin called POPE69, which mentions his age, popped 180% to a market valuation of $741,630.
Note that these tokens operated at thin liquidity and could only be traded on Solana-based decentralized exchanges. CoinMarketCap issued a disclaimer stating that the memecoins have yet to be validated and urged traders to DYOR.

Why It Matters: The upsurge followed the election of Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298795/who-is-new-pope-leo-xiv-francis-appointee-first-american-pope-has-supported-workers-rights">as the new Pope</a>, succeeding the late Pope Francis.
Prevost, the first American pope, was widely regarded as a long shot for the papacy.
In his remarks on the balcony of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica on Thursday, Leo XIV called for the church to "build bridges" while paying tribute to Pope Francis.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins with thin liquidity can be highly speculative and involve significant risk. Such meme coins may lack intrinsic value and can be driven by market sentiment, social media trends and prone to high fluctuations

Pope Leo XIV-Themed Memecoins Surge After US-Born Robert Francis Prevost Becomes Rome's New Bishop

On Wednesday, Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) chose not to provide full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, with its chief financial officer citing unpredictable market signals, partner caution, and potential macroeconomic disruptions as key reasons.
What Happened: Speaking on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45268429/arm-holdings-stock-plunges-after-q4-results-heres-why">company's fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, Arm CFO Jason Child addressed why the semiconductor design giant opted to withhold fiscal 2026 guidance — a departure from its usual practice.
Child explained that while Arm typically offers annual forecasts with a reasonable range to cover expected deal timing, this year's market environment presented unusually murky signals, particularly from partners and customers.
"Almost none of them are providing full-year guidance," Child said. "The amount of signal I'm getting from partners, whether it's through guidance or from other reporting, is just less than I've had in the past."
The CFO also pointed to the broader macroeconomic risks, especially tariff-related uncertainties, which add another layer of unpredictability. "If I provide a range, I'd have to give you an even wider range than I had last year," he stated. " I don't know if it would be that helpful."
Why It's Important: Arm Holdings posted quarterly earnings of 55 cents per share, surpassing analyst expectations of 52 cents. Revenue for the quarter reached $1.24 billion, exceeding the $1.23 billion consensus estimate and rising from $928 million in the same period a year ago.
ARM Price Action: Arm&#8217;s stock fell 11.63% to $109.75 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
ARM Holdings PLC currently holds a consensus price target of $143.81, according to ratings from 32 analysts. The highest target comes from Rosenblatt, which set a price of $225 on Feb. 6, 2025.
The three latest analyst updates from UBS, Wells Fargo, and Barclays collectively assigned an average price target of $146.67, suggesting a potential upside of 33.64%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ARM/analyst-ratings"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/08023454/Screenshot-2025-05-08-at-12.04.48%E2%80%AFPM-1024x379.png" alt="" class="wp-image-907143" /></a></figure>
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives ARM a momentum score of 55.69%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other stocks</a>.

Arm CFO Explains Why Company Withheld Fiscal 2026 Full Year Guidance Amid Uncertainty From Customers And Tariff Impacts: 'The Amount Of Signals I'm Getting…'

For many adults returning to school later in life, one of the biggest questions is how to pay for it. A recent listener of Suze Orman&#8216;s "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-how-do-i-settle-a-deceased-parent-s-credit-card-debt">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, Will, faced this exact dilemma.&nbsp;
At 35, Will is planning to pursue a master's degree in nursing — a move he hopes will boost his earning potential. The program will cost about $30,000 over three years. Will has enough savings to cover the tuition but wonders if taking out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45214832/with-16-trillion-owed-by-427-million-student-loan-borrowers-federal-government-resumes-collections-after-5-years-as-delinquencies-reach-record-high-transunion-warns">student loans</a> might help him come out ahead financially in the long run.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Paying Cash</h2>
Will's situation is fairly strong: he works full-time as a nursing director, has about $100,000 in retirement savings, another $130,000 in IRAs and other assets, and owns a home. His only debt, outside of his mortgage, is $30,000 in existing student loans — and he admits he "hates" having that debt.
That's where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45152586/why-did-the-market-go-up-last-week-suze-orman-says-its-because-of-one-word-and-that-word-is-hope">Orman</a> focused her advice.
"If you have the money now to be able to pay $10,000 a year towards it, I would do that rather than going into debt," she said. Orman noted that Will's emotional response to his existing debt — that he hates it — should be taken seriously. Carrying more debt, especially when it causes stress or frustration, could undermine the benefits of the degree.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is the Master's Worth It Financially?</h2>
Before making a decision, Orman urged Will to research how much more he could realistically earn with a master's in nursing. "You really need to check and see what would that do for you financially," she said. That means weighing the future salary boost against the cost of the degree — and considering what those funds might grow into if invested instead.
This advice echoes <a href="https://freopp.org/whitepapers/does-college-pay-off-a-comprehensive-return-on-investment-analysis/">research</a> from the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, which found that nearly 43% of master's degree programs leave students financially worse off. While some professional degrees — like law, medicine, and dentistry — tend to deliver strong returns on investment, many master's programs don't provide enough of a salary bump to justify the high tuition costs.
The study did show that master's degrees in nursing tend to have a "very strong ROI," so that could play in Will's favor should he choose to pursue a higher degree.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Student Loans: A Tool, Not a Default</h2>
Student loans aren't necessarily bad — but they should be used with caution, especially later in life. Taking on more debt in your 30s or 40s can stretch into your 50s and beyond, potentially affecting your ability to save for retirement or meet other financial goals.
Orman's takeaway? If Will truly believes in the value of the degree and can pay for it out of pocket without sacrificing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45014941/wealth-3-0-building-financial-security-in-a-decentralized-economy">financial security</a>, that's the better route. But if the ROI isn't compelling — or if the debt would bring emotional and financial strain — he may want to reconsider.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
Going back to school is a personal decision, but the way you fund it should be a financial one. Before choosing loans over cash, compare the real cost of borrowing with the potential salary gain — and ask whether taking on new debt aligns with your financial peace of mind.

'Will I Have More Money In The Long Run By Taking Out Student Loans Instead Of Paying Cash?' Suze Orman Weighs In

A Massachusetts man has been arrested and charged with the attempted assassination of a Cabinet nominee, as well as for carrying a deadly weapon on the Capitol grounds.
What Happened: Ryan English, age 24, was apprehended in late January for his attempt to assassinate Treasury Secretary nominee, Scott Bessent, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5291393-massachusetts-man-charged-with-attempt-to-assassinate-cabinet-member/">reported</a> The Hill. The Department of Justice disclosed that English had brought two Molotov cocktails and a knife onto the Capitol grounds.
Upon his arrest, English&nbsp;was found in possession of&nbsp;50 milliliter bottles of vodka, a grey cloth attached to the top,&nbsp;and a green lighter. A&nbsp;letter expressing remorse for his actions,&nbsp;addressed to a family member, was also discovered on his person.
According to authorities, English initially&nbsp;planned to target House Speaker&nbsp;Mike Johnson&nbsp;(R-La.) and Defense Secretary&nbsp;Pete Hegseth. However, he shifted his focus to Bessent upon learning about the timing of Bessent&#8217;s confirmation hearing.
English is now facing charges for carrying a dangerous weapon or incendiary device on the Capitol grounds and unlawful possession of an incendiary device. The DOJ revealed that English confessed to traveling to the District of Columbia with the intent to murder a government official or set fire to a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank. He made his initial court appearance on Thursday and is currently in police custody.

Why It Matters: This incident is a stark reminder of the increasing security threats faced by government officials. In a similar incident in 2024, former President Donald Trump was escorted to safety following a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/24/09/40869836/donald-trump-safe-and-unharmed-after-shooting-incident-at-florida-golf-club">shooting incident</a> at his Florida golf club.

Authorities say the attack was targeted, with charges including attempted murder and terrorism expected.
