Eric Trump, the executive vice president of The&nbsp;Trump Organization, agreed on Thursday that Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) is undervalued and should be trading above $8,000. 
What Happened:&nbsp;Trump was responding to assertions made by noted cryptocurrency analyst and investor Ted Pillows about Ethereum&#8217;s performance.
Pillows compared ETH&#8217;s growth with the global M2 money supply, i.e, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s estimate of liquid assets, including cash on hand, money deposited in accounts, and other short-term saving vehicles.
&#8220;Comparing with M2 supply growth, ETH should be trading above $8,000 by now,&#8221; Pillows said. &#8220;This shows how undervalued ETH is right now, and is probably one of the best trades out here.&#8221;
Trump quoted the analysis, saying, &#8220;Agreed.&#8221;

ETH has surged 46% over the previous month, wiping out the losses since the mid-December decline. Since Trump&#8217;s post, ETH is up nearly 26%.
Trump seems to be putting where his mouth is.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk launched a fresh attack on President Donald Trump following the latter's post on Truth Social claiming he wants Musk's companies to "thrive" regardless of subsidies.
What Happened: Influencer Sawyer Merritt, on Thursday, shared a screenshot of Trump's post on social media platform X, where Trump denied trying to "destroy" Musk's businesses by "taking away some, if not all of the large scale subsidies" Musk's companies receive from the government.

Musk responded to the post, saying that the subsidies "simply do not exist." He then added that Trump had "already removed or put an expiry date on all sustainable energy support while leaving massive oil &amp; gas subsidies untouched."
Musk also said that SpaceX won all the NASA contracts "by doing a better job for less money." The billionaire also said that offering NASA contracts to other companies risks leaving astronauts stranded in space and would cost twice as much to taxpayers.

Elon Musk Slams Trump For Axing Subsidies On Renewable Energy, Says SpaceX Won NASA Contracts 'By Doing A Better Job For Less Money'

The quantum computing market is on the brink of a commercial breakthrough, with significant advancements in 2025, including Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s Willow chip and IonQ&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) acquisition of Oxford Ionics.
What Happened: The quantum computing market hit a pivotal milestone in 2025, driven by accelerated technological breakthroughs, record-setting investments, and the rise of real-world applications across multiple industries.
The report, titled &#8220;Global Quantum Computing Market 2026-2046,&#8221; highlights the pivotal role of these developments in propelling the sector towards mainstream deployment.
It highlights that the quantum computing market has matured into a complex, multi-tiered ecosystem that spans hardware platforms, software development tools, cloud-based services, and tailored industry applications.
A range of quantum technologies—including superconducting qubits, trapped ion systems, photonic processors, and emerging silicon spin qubits—are both competing and coexisting, mitigating the risks of depending on any single technological path.

Notable investment activities in the first half of 2025 include SandboxAQ&#8217;s $150 million add-on funding round, Quantum Machines&#8217; $170 million raise, and IQM Quantum Computers&#8216; $73 million (€68 million) funding.
The second quarter witnessed significant market activity, culminating in IonQ&#8217;s groundbreaking $1.08 billion acquisition of Oxford Ionics, the largest transaction in quantum computing history.
The report further points out that average funding round sizes have grown substantially, with many deals now surpassing $50 million—an indication of rising investor confidence in quantum computing's commercial potential.
Why It Matters: The report&#8217;s findings are in line with the recent trend of major tech companies investing heavily in quantum computing.
Leading tech giants such as Google, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45901958/ibm-google-emerge-as-top-investors-in-quantum-computing-with-most-patents-issued-in-2025-only-two-companies-seriously-investing-says-martin-shkreli">ramping up their investments</a>, signaling their belief in quantum computing's long-term strategic value and its role in securing future competitive advantage.
In June 2025, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46111393/ai-is-already-speeding-up-discoveries-in-chemistry-and-physics-but-satya-nadella-says-the-real-breakthrough-will-come-when-we-add-quantum-computing-to-the-mix">AI and high-performance computing</a> have already accelerated progress in fields like chemistry and physics, the real breakthrough will come when quantum computing is added to the equation.
In March 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted he was wrong about his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44433571/jensen-huang-admits-mistake-says-i-was-wrong-about-quantum-computing-at-gtc-apology-fails-to-lift-rigetti-ionq-d-wave-qubt">earlier skepticism of quantum computing</a>, which had triggered a sharp drop in related stocks earlier this year.

Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) stock experienced a 4.55% increase in <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/OPEN:NASDAQ">after-hours trading</a> on Thursday, riding the wave of renewed meme stock mania. Here's all <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">you need to know</a>.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">how OPEN stock is trading here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: Opendoor&#8217;s stock price increased from $2.42 to $2.53 in after-hours trading. This latest gain comes on the heels of a 5.68% rise during normal trading hours, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
This recent surge in stock price follows a series of events that have kept the market on its toes. Just a few days ago, Opendoor&#8217;s stock was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46592705/opendoor-stock-surges-6-55-after-hours-amid-meme-mania">surging amid meme mania</a>, and earlier this week, the stock was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46618162/opendoor-kohls-stocks-recover-growing-sense-fomo-could-fuel-more-meme-stock-rallies">recovering from a down day</a> as a growing sense of FOMO fueled a fresh wave of meme stock mania.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46613062/sunrun-tesla-unveil-home-energy-plan-to-boost-backup-power">Sunrun, Tesla Unveil Home Energy Plan To Boost Backup Power</a>
Analysts have pointed to FOMO, or &#8220;fear of missing out,&#8221; as the driving force behind the resurgence of meme stock mania, with Opendoor leading the charge.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in Opendoor&#8217;s stock price is part of a broader trend of meme stock mania that has been sweeping the market. This trend has seen a fresh batch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46616728/dork-frenzy-whats-fueling-meme-stock-revival">meme stocks</a>, including Opendoor, Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>), and Kohl&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>), dubbed the &#8220;DORK,&#8221; give Wall Street a masterclass in how gamma squeezes can whip markets into a frenzy.
Amid the rally, insider activity also draws attention. Sydney Schaub, Opendoor's Chief Legal Officer, at an average price of $3.50, sold over 47,000 shares in July across three transactions (July 15, 16, and 21). These sales, along with over 111,000 shares sold in mid-June for tax obligations, were all executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in 2024.
Despite the volatility, some investors remain unfazed. Eric Jackson, the fund manager credited for sparking Opendoor&#8217;s recent surge, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46597179/fund-manager-who-kickstarted-opendoor-frenzy-shrugs-off-meme-stock-hype-says-its-a-real-business-as-stock-craters-for-second-straight-day">shrugged off the &#8220;meme stock&#8221; hype</a>, stating that Opendoor is a real business.
With the stock&#8217;s recent performance, it remains to be seen how the meme stock mania will continue to unfold and what it means for the broader market.
With a strong Momentum in the 82nd percentile, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that OPEN has a positive price trend across all time frames. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Know how</a> its momentum lines up with well-known names like Petco Health and Wellness (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOOOF#NASDAQ">WOOOF</a>) and Zillow Gr (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>).

Why It Matters: TSMC, the world&#8217;s largest contract chipmaker and key supplier to NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), is fast-tracking its Arizona expansion. The company plans to begin production at a second plant by 2027 and expects up to 30% of its advanced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46499511/taiwan-semiconductor-cfo-warns-of-margin-pressure-prudent-42-billion-capex-plan">2nm capacity to eventually come from Arizona facilities</a>.
CFO Wendell Huang told Bloomberg the company plans cautious spending in 2025 with up to $42 billion in capital expenditures while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46499511/taiwan-semiconductor-cfo-warns-of-margin-pressure-prudent-42-billion-capex-plan">monitoring macro and foreign exchange risks</a>.
Bessent argued that environmental regulations have contributed to deindustrialization. &#8220;We have made the decision to deindustrialize through our environmental regulations,&#8221; he stated, adding that making it &#8220;easy to build things again&#8221; requires reducing regulatory barriers.
TSMC maintains strong upward momentum across short-, medium-, and long-term trends, according to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings. While growth signals remain robust, the stock's value rating appears comparatively lower.

Scott Bessent Warns TSMC's $40 Billion Arizona Fab May Only Meet 7% Of US Chip Demand — Blames Building Inspectors, Red Tape For Delays

On Thursday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that TikTok will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/03/31372916/team-biden-reportedly-warns-tiktok-ban-unless-chinese-owners-divest-stake-meta-snap-shares-shoot-up">banned unless</a> China allows American ownership and control of the platform's algorithm and technology.
What Happened: Speaking on CNBC's Squawk on the Street, Lutnick reinforced the Donald Trump administration's position that TikTok must be divested from Chinese parent, ByteDance, to remain operational in the U.S.
"It's got to come out of Chinese control," Lutnick said. "You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones. That's just not okay."
He confirmed that the administration supports a deal that would give Americans control of TikTok's technology and algorithm, allowing ByteDance to retain only a minor stake.
"If that deal gets approved by the Chinese, then that deal will happen. If they don't approve it, then TikTok is going to go dark and those decisions are coming very soon."

Luntnick added that while TikTok isn't officially part of ongoing U.S.-China trade talks, it remains a high-priority topic: "You can't really go meet somebody and not bring up the topics that are relevant."

Why It's Important: TikTok's fate hangs in the balance as geopolitical tensions rise. The platform boasts more than 150 million users in the U.S.
Last week, it was reported that the Chinese social media giant posted $43 billion in revenue in the first quarter of this year and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46507927/blackstone-backs-out-of-tiktok-us-deal-as-trump-deadline-looms-china-opposition-mounts-report">has recently surpassed</a> Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in quarterly earnings.
A U.S. law passed in 2024 requires ByteDance to divest TikTok or face a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31450453/tiktok-at-pivotal-moment-warns-ceo-ban-could-take-app-away-from-all-150-million-of-you">nationwide ban</a>.
With private equity giant Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) already pulling out of a U.S.-led acquisition group, the spotlight now falls on Beijing's response.

Howard Lutnick Says TikTok Is 'Going Dark' Unless Beijing Agrees To Hand It Over: 'Can't Have Chinese Control…On 100 Million American Phones'

Michael Saylor's Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holding company, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), increased the size of its latest preferred equity issuance to $2 billion from $500 million, according to a Thursday report.
What Happened: Strategy boosted its Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock offering, announced earlier this week, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-24/saylor-s-strategy-expands-preferred-stock-offering-to-2-billion">reported</a>, citing sources familiar with the matter. The company previously disclosed a plan to issue 5 million shares.
The proceeds are meant to be channeled for general corporate purposes, including Bitcoin acquisitions.
Strategy intends to price the shares, which carry an initial dividend of 9%, at $90 each, marking a discount to the earlier face value of $100 apiece, the report said.&nbsp; Unlike its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45567005/strategy-mstr-stock-rises-on-2-1b-preferred-stock-offering-bitcoin-all-time-high">other preferred stock offerings</a>, the STRC will pay cumulative dividends at a variable rate.
A preferred stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-preferred-stock#:~:text=Preferred%20stock%20carries%20less%20risk,flow%20of%20the%20general%20market.">has priority over common stock</a> in terms of dividend payments and asset distribution during liquidation.
Strategy did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation.

The preferred stock strategy capitalizes on what Saylor has described as a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45417306/michael-saylors-bitcoin-strategy-infinite-money-glitch-or-a-reflexive-leverage-bet" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"quadratically reflexive, engineered instrument"</a>&nbsp;that allows Strategy to issue shares at premiums to Bitcoin's value, effectively acquiring BTC at discounts.

Elon Musk Says He Will Share Technical Updates On Starship Before Next Launch In August

Economist Justin Wolfers is pushing back against the narrative surrounding President Donald Trump&#8217;s new trade agreement with Japan, arguing that the deal essentially results in a tax increase for American consumers.
What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, Wolfers addressed what he refers to as a &#8220;confusion in the reporting&#8221; of Trump&#8217;s latest trade deal with Japan. &#8220;So let me clarify,&#8221; he says, accompanied by a video of his recent appearance on MSNBC.
In the clip, Wolfers says, &#8220;the most important thing for viewers to think about is the framing. So if you began by saying that [the] tariff on Japan has gone from 25% to 15%, it would feel like he'd negotiated a great deal. That's not what happened here.&#8221;

Wolfers notes that the tariffs on Japanese imports were previously just 2%, &#8220;so the biggest thing Trump has done is he's raised taxes on Americans who import goods from Japan from 2% to 15%.&#8221;
The deal's potential impact on U.S. automakers is also in question, as Wolfers pushed back against claims that the deal could open up the Japanese market to American manufacturers. &#8220;I am not remotely optimistic,&#8221; he says, adding that the reason why the Japanese don&#8217;t buy American cars is that they prefer smaller cars.

Why It Matters: Fund manager Spencer Hakimian noted early this week that the announcement of the trade deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/07/46563227/trump-trade-deal-with-japan-sends-toyota-mazda-stock-soaring-nikkei-rises-sharply">sent Japanese automaker</a> Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) soaring, despite the 15% tariffs being announced on all imports from Japan. 
He attributes this to the fact that while American automakers have to 50% more for steel and copper, on account of the tariffs, alongside similar tariffs on their production in China, Mexico and Canada, Toyota only pays 15%, and &#8220;they&#8217;re done with all the shenanigans.&#8221;
Japanese auto stocks have been rallying since the trade deal was announced, in sharp contrast to their American counterparts.

Trump's Trade Deal With Japan A Tax On Americans — Economist Says, 'Not Remotely Optimistic' US Auto Companies Will Gain As Toyota And Honda Stocks Rally

The U.S. passport has slipped to No. 10 on the Henley Passport Index, its weakest showing since the ranking began two decades ago, according to the index's July update released this week.
What Happened: The quarterly list, compiled from International Air Transport Association travel‑freedom data and refined by London‑based Henley &amp; Partners, counts how many destinations a passport holder may enter without obtaining a visa in advance.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The index includes 199 different passports and 227 different travel destinations. Full ranking: <a href="https://t.co/blyETibvtb">https://t.co/blyETibvtb</a> Learn more about Timatic: <a href="https://t.co/1XSD1s36mI">https://t.co/1XSD1s36mI</a>

</figure>
American travelers can now enter 182 countries visa‑free, down four from last year and 11 fewer than top‑ranked Singapore, which enjoys access to 193 destinations. The United States shares its 10th‑place tie with Iceland and Lithuania. In 2014, the U.S. sat in first place but has slid steadily amid lagging visa‑waiver deals.
Second place goes to Japan and South Korea, whose citizens enjoy 190 visa‑free destinations. Seven European Union passports, including France, Germany and Italy, share third with access to 189 countries, while another seven EU nations occupy fourth with 188. Greece, Switzerland and New Zealand sit fifth. Afghanistan remains last, with its passport unlocking just 25 destinations.

Why It Matters: Washington's standing reflects tougher vetting rules and stalled reciprocity talks. American passport holders can visit 182 of 227 destinations without a visa, but the United States grants visa-free entry to only 46 nationalities, <a href="https://www.henleyglobal.com/publications/henley-openness-index">dropping</a> it to 80th on the Henley Openness Index, which is just above Iraq and far below its 10th-place rank on the Henley Passport Index.
The introduction of a $250 "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46516070/how-a-250-provision-in-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-could-help-cut-the-us-deficit-by-billions">visa‑integrity fee</a>" for select foreign visitors is a move critics warn may chill counter‑deals. A State Department spokesperson in a statement shared with CBS <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-passport-2025-travel-ranking/">said</a>, &#8220;While international passport rankings may vary based on methodology, our focus remains on facilitating secure, efficient, and reciprocal travel for American citizens and foreign nationals alike.&#8221;
For Americans, the downgrade won't immediately change border rules but signals shrinking mobility just as post‑pandemic travel rebounds worldwide.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez spotted a Bollinger Band Squeeze between $117,000 and $119,700 on Bitcoin's 4-hour chart
"A close outside the $117,000–$119,700 range will set the stage for the next big move," Martinez predicted.&nbsp;
The Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when the volatility drops, causing the space between the bands to tighten. When the price closes outside of bands, traders consider it a potential new breakout.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Slide, Ethereum Gains Amid Drop In Crypto Volatility: Analyst Says A Close Outside This Range Will Set Stage For BTC's 'Big Move'

Sen.

What Happened: On Thursday, Warren took to X, formerly Twitter, posting a video accusing Trump of approving the high-profile Paramount-Skydance merger shortly after receiving a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46212970/trump-wins-16-million-settlement-from-paramount-over-cbs-60-minutes-kamala-harris-interview-but-no-apology-issued"> $16 million settlement payment</a> from Paramount related to a "sham lawsuit" over a 60 Minutes interview.
"Trump approved Paramount&#8217;s $8 million merger with Skydance … This could be corruption," Warren said in the video. "Trump filed a sham lawsuit against CBS. But instead of fighting it, CBS's parent company, Paramount, paid Trump $16 million for his future presidential library."
Warren added, "The appearance of this wink-wink deal basically lets every other company and every other billionaire know that Trump is open for business… Bribery is still illegal."

Paramount, Skydance, Trump&#8217;s office and the White House did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: The Federal Communications Commission approved the Paramount-Skydance merger this week, including the transfer of licenses for 28 CBS-owned local TV stations.
The deal comes with Skydance's commitment to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and hire an ombudsman to address media bias.
Commissioner Anna Gomez, the lone Democrat on the three-member FCC panel, dissented, citing the payout to Trump and CBS's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/07/46507946/trump-celebrates-stephen-colberts-late-show-cancellation-slams-cbs-and-calls-host-talentless-amid-paramount-settlement-controversy">abrupt cancellation</a> of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which had criticized the deal, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/24/fcc-approves-8-billion-paramount-skydance-merger.html">reported</a> CNBC.
At the time, executives from Paramount and CBS stated that the cancellation was strictly a "financial decision" made in response to the difficult landscape facing late-night television.
Price Action: As of this writing, Paramount's Class A shares were trading at $23.49, up 1.38% in after-hours trading, while Class B shares rose 1.43% to $13.45, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elizabeth Warren Slams Trump Administration's Paramount-Skydance Approval, Calls It 'Wink-Wink Deal' Signaling President Is Open For Business

NextCure Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXTC#NASDAQ">NXTC</a>) stock surged by 44.87% to $7.62 in <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/NXTC:NASDAQ">after-hours trading</a> on Thursday.&nbsp;
Check out<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NXTC"> how the NTXC stock is trading here</a>. 
What Happened: The surge in NextCure&#8217;s stock value came after the company presented <a href="https://ir.nextcure.com/news-releases/news-release-details/preclinical-data-demonstrate-anti-siglec-15-treatment-improves">new preclinical data</a> for NC605, a potential treatment for brittle bone disease.&nbsp;
Earlier in the day, the company&#8217;s shares were already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/07/46617183/nextcure-shares-are-trading-higher-after-the-company-presented-new-preclinical-data-for-nc605">trading higher</a> after the presentation of the new preclinical data for NC605.

The Maryland-based biopharmaceutical company closed on Thursday at $5.26 and has traded between $2.80 &#8211; $20.76 over the past year. NextCure stock carries a market capitalization of $14.08 million, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NXTC">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Why It Matters: NextCure has been making significant strides in its research and development efforts. The company recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/06/45945724/nextcure-announced-strategic-partnership-with-simcere-zaiming-to-develop-sim0505-a-cdh6-targeting-an">announced a strategic partnership</a> with Simcere Zaiming to develop SIM0505, a CDH6-targeting antibody-drug conjugate for solid tumors. This partnership is expected to advance NextCure&#8217;s oncology pipeline.
However, the company&#8217;s stock has been on a rollercoaster ride. Earlier in July, NextCure enacted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46388404/nextcure-enacts-1-for-12-reverse-stock-split-shares-begin-trading-today-on-adjusted-basis">1-for-12 reverse stock split</a>, and its shares began trading on an adjusted basis.

Nextcure Stock Skyrockets Nearly 45% In After-Hours Trading After Sharing Preclinical Data For Brittle Bone Disease

Artificial intelligence systems can silently adopt hidden behaviors from data that appears meaningless and researchers now believe the quirk may be built into the wiring of neural networks, raising fresh safety worries.
What Happened: In a new study published on Tuesday, scientists in the Anthropic Fellows Program teamed with Truthful AI, Warsaw University of Technology and the Alignment Research Center to probe what they call "subliminal learning."
They trained a small "student" model on strings of numbers produced by a larger "teacher" model that happened to like owls. After training, the student also "preferred" owls, even though the word never appeared once in its lessons.

The transfer happened only when the two models shared the same architecture. Researchers say the bias slipped through tiny statistical quirks that ordinary filters and even advanced AI detectors missed.

Researchers found that the passed-on habits aren't always non-offensive. If the parent AI has risky behaviors, such as dodging tough questions or gaming the scoring system, those can sneak into the student, too. That means companies that shrink big AIs into smaller, cheaper versions could unknowingly pass along bad behavior.
Why It Matters: The researchers involved in the study add that subliminal learning may show up in all neural nets under the right conditions, meaning the issue could outlast any single fix.
Industry analysts say the findings land as developers race to stockpile synthetic data to cut costs. The report last week flagged investor concerns that weak oversight at some startups, including Elon Musk's xAI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46460070/elon-musks-xai-faces-industry-backlash-over-reckless-ai-safety-practices-as-regulatory-scrutiny-intensifies">could let risky behaviors slip</a> into commercial chatbots.
Similarly, a separate review of user‑privacy lapses argued that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46334040/meta-copilot-flunk-ai-privacy-101-big-tech-is-playing-chicken-with-your-privacy">hidden risks are mounting</a> as generative platforms grow.

Anthropic Study Shows AI Chatbots Can Transfer Their Bad Habits Through Hidden Signals In Data

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades, prominently featuring the purchase of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares across multiple ETFs. This move comes amidst a backdrop of strategic sell-offs in other notable cryptocurrency-linked stocks like Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), and Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), along with ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to increase its stake in the EV maker was executed through three of its ETFs: ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). The total shares acquired amounted to 143,190, with ARKK purchasing 101,398 shares, ARKQ adding 24,345 shares, and ARKW acquiring 17,447 shares. Based on Tesla&#8217;s latest closing price of $305.30, the total value of these transactions is approximately $43.7 million.
This strategic move follows Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587882/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-and-earnings-fall-short-new-models-still-set-for-2025-2026">recent financial results</a>, where the company reported second-quarter revenue of $22.5 billion, falling short of the expected $22.8 billion. Despite these challenges, Ark Invest remains bullish on Tesla, as highlighted by their continued investment. The Elon Musk-led company is still on track to release new models in 2025 and 2026, which could potentially bolster its market position.
The Coinbase Trade
Ark Invest reduced its holdings in the cryptocurrency trading platform by selling shares across two ETFs: ARKK and ARKW. The total shares sold were 30,501, with ARKK offloading 27,614 shares and ARKW selling 2,887 shares. The total value of the transaction was $12.1 million, based the stock&#8217;s closing price of $396.70. This decision comes as Coinbase&#8217;s stock recently hit a new 52-week high, driven by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46473148/coinbase-global-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-high-today-whats-going-on">positive analyst revision</a> and favorable legislative developments. So far this year, Coinbase stock has popped 54.2% amid soaring Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices. The apex cryptocurrency touched a fresh all-time high last week of $123,091.61.
Notably, despite the sell-off, Coinbase continues to show strength in the market, with a revised price target of $470 from Rosenblatt analyst Chris Brendler.
The Block Trade
Ark Invest also trimmed its position in Block, selling 123,169 shares through the ARKK ETF. The transaction was valued at $9.8 million, based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $79.77 on Thursday. This move follows Block&#8217;s announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46511361/jack-dorseys-block-with-over-1-billion-in-bitcoin-holdings-set-to-join-sp-500-shares-pop-8-in-overnight-trading">joining the S&amp;P 500</a>, which led to a recent spike in the company&#8217;s stock. The fintech company, founded by Jack Dorsey, holds over $1 billion in Bitcoin, positioning it as a significant player in the cryptocurrency space.
As Block prepares for its S&amp;P 500 debut, Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to sell shares could be seen as a strategic realignment, potentially to capitalize on the stock&#8217;s recent gains. The company&#8217;s strong performance and market position continue to attract investor interest.
The Robinhood Trade
Ark Invest reduced its stake in the retail-oriented trading platform Robinhood Markets by selling 11,262 shares through the ARKW ETF. The transaction was valued at $1.1 million. Robinhood stock closed at $101.93 on Thursday. The company&#8217;s stock has been gaining traction, with its breakout potential highlighted by market analysts. The stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46419665/cramers-parc-playbook-robinhoods-breakout-potential-outshines-the-meme-stock-pack">technical strength</a> sets it apart, making it a noteworthy player in the retail trading space.
Robinhood remains a key component of Jim Cramer&#8217;s 2025 &#8216;PARC&#8217; basket, which includes other prominent companies like Palantir Technologies and Applovin Corp.
The ARKB Trade
Ark Invest also sold 28,906 shares of its Bitcoin-oriented ETF through the ARKW ETF. The transaction was valued at $1.1 million as ARKB ended Thursday at $39.57. The ETF, which focuses on Bitcoin investments, has been part of Ark&#8217;s portfolio amid the growing interest in digital currencies.
Notably, Ark has been selling ARKB shares recently. It <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/07/46433784/cathie-wood-doubles-down-on-tesla-despite-leadership-exodus-dumps-22-million-of-crypto-stocks-amid-bitcoin-buzz">offloaded 225,742 shares</a>, worth $8.74 million in mid-July.
