The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF market is never dull</a>, and 2025 promises to be no exception. 
In a podcast discussion on Bloomberg, The ETF Store, Inc. President Nate Geraci, along with Bloomberg&#8217;s Eric Balchunas and Vilna Hyek shared their thoughts on what lies ahead. Here's a look at the predictions shaping the conversation.
First up: A fee war. Geraci believes we're about to see some serious competition among the biggest S&amp;P 500 ETFs. Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) are duking it out to become the market favorite. 
With fees already thin at 0.02% and 0.03% respectively, any further cuts could make headlines. "It's about capturing that top spot," said Geraci. Vanguard has a history of passing cost savings to investors as funds grow. It's a win for consumers, but it could squeeze margins for providers.

Coming to the second prediction, Geraci is optimistic that 2025 will bring a wave of approvals for spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, along with some altcoin-focused funds. Why now? The regulatory environment looks set to become more crypto-friendly, especially with potential leadership changes at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 
If Geraci is right, expect a flood of new options for investors looking to ride the crypto wave through ETFs.
Not every innovation, however, is a perfect fit for ETFs. Take private credit ETFs, for instance. While they sound intriguing, Geraci is skeptical. The biggest issue? Private credit is illiquid, and ETFs promise daily liquidity. Throw in potential conflicts of interest — like fund managers acting as both liquidity providers and valuation sources — and it's a recipe for disaster. "The structure just doesn't match the asset," he warned.
Tax efficiency is another trend that's gaining traction. Among those gaining popularity are structures like 351 exchanges, which let investors contribute stocks whose prices have appreciated, to an ETF, without triggering capital gains taxes. These setups aren't just about saving money — they also make ETFs a smarter tool for long-term planning.
Of course, the conversation wouldn't be complete without a word of caution. Leveraged single-stock ETFs have been grabbing attention, but they carry significant risks. Geraci is blunt about it: "It's only a matter of time before one of these implodes." Leveraged ETFs built around sensitive stocks are one sharp dip away from falling off the cliff.
So, what does all this mean for 2025? It's clear that the ETF market is evolving rapidly, with innovation and competition driving the next phase of growth. But as always, investors should keep an eye on the risks. As Geraci put it, "These aren't just investment calls — they're predictions about the forces reshaping the ETF industry." 
Here's hoping 2025 lives up to the hype.

Penumbra's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEN#NYSE">PEN</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.04% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.84 million shares sold short, which is 6.78% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.48 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Penumbra's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.60%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About American Finl Gr?

Donald Trump&#8217;s aggressive economic agenda could face an unexpected challenge – an economy that may be too strong for dramatic intervention.
With unemployment at 4.1%,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42918778/december-jobs-report-a-wake-up-call-for-anyone-betting-on-rate-cuts-analyst-says"> job growth surging by 256,000 in December</a> and output expanding above trend, Trump&#8217;s plans for sweeping tariffs and immigration restrictions might risk disrupting rather than boosting economic performance, according to economists and Federal Reserve officials.
&#8220;Success for the Trump administration would be to do no harm to the exceptionally performing economy it is inheriting,&#8221; Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody&#8217;s Analytics, told Reuters. The planned mix of tariffs, deportations and deficit-funded tax cuts &#8220;will do harm. How much depends on how aggressively these policies are pursued.&#8221;

</ul>
The economic landscape Trump faces in 2025 differs markedly from his first term. Inflation remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s target, 30-year mortgage rates are above 7% and government borrowing costs have climbed. Treasury yields around 5% reflect market concerns about fiscal discipline.
Karen Dynan, a Harvard economist and former Obama administration official, points to immigration as a key factor in recent growth that restrictive policies could threaten. &#8220;If you believe the economic growth in excess of trend is from immigration, it is going to be hard to get numbers as large as we saw in the latter part of the Biden administration,&#8221; she said.

Federal Reserve officials have begun factoring potential policy changes into their outlook. While Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin expects &#8220;more upside than downside in terms of growth,&#8221; the Fed&#8217;s staff has suggested slower growth and higher unemployment may result from expected trade and immigration policies.
Bond markets particularly signal caution. &#8220;There is still a concern inflation may not be beaten,&#8221; Fed Gov. Christopher Waller said recently, noting growing attention to fiscal deficits. &#8220;At some point, the markets are going to demand a premium.&#8221;
Despite Trump creating<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42871802/doge-co-lead-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-reportedly-on-a-hiring-spree-for-full-timers"> a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)</a> to find savings, no plans address major deficit drivers like health and retirement benefits that both parties consider untouchable.

Markets in the U.S. will pause on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, even as political and financial tensions mount ahead of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump"> Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Stock And Bond Markets Are Closed</h3>
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will not operate on Monday, in line with standard market holidays. Trading will restart on Tuesday with regular hours: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.
Last Friday, the S&amp;P 500 index — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — closed 1% higher at 5,996 points, now hovering at less than 2 percentage points below record highs.
The Treasury market is also closed, leaving investors to digest potential policy shifts from the incoming administration without access to U.S. government bond trading.
Futures markets will observe an early close at 1:00 p.m. ET. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Commodities Futures On Alert Amid Trump Measures</h3>
Futures on precious metals, such as gold and silver, will wrap up slightly later at 1:30 p.m. ET.
Energy contracts, including crude oil and natural gas, will follow normal trading hours. Futures on the West Texas Intermediate light crude traded 0.4% higher to $78 a barrel during early morning trading in New York. 
Energy markets will be on high alert as President-elect Trump announces his first economic policies.
 The incoming administration is expected to roll back regulations on U.S. oil and gas production, potentially unleashing a surge in domestic output, while also adopting a more aggressive stance against Iran and Russia.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">FX Traders On Edge As Trump Eyes Tariff Blitz</h3>
Currency trading remains open, with forex traders preparing for potential dollar swings. 
Trump has signaled a hardline <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42988641/trump-wants-trade-partners-to-start-paying-announces-external-revenue-service-for-tariffs">stance on trade policies</a>, with the possibility of steep tariffs on Chinese goods — up to 60% — and additional levies of 10% to 20% on imports from other countries, including neighbors such as Canada and Mexico.
The dollar's reaction could set the tone for global markets in the weeks ahead. Should Trump confirm his aggressive trade agenda, analysts expect increased demand for the greenback.
The U.S. dollar slightly weakened by 0.4% against the euro, while inching 0.1% higher vis-à-vis the Japanese yen. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin Hits Record High As Crypto Speculation Heats Up</h3>

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged to an all-time high of $109,350 overnight, riding a wave of speculation that Trump's administration may usher in an era of deregulation for the crypto sector.
Adding fuel to the fire, Trump floated the idea of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, a controversial move that has drawn both praise and skepticism from market participants. 
According to CFTC-regulated platform Kalshi, betting markets price in a 63% chance that Trump will create a National Bitcoin Fund by the end of the year.
Over the weekend, the President-elect launched his own meme coin, TRUMP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), which rapidly soared to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43076559/donald-trumps-meme-coin-trump-rallies-103-in-a-day-creates-billions-out-of-thin-air">$15 billion market capitalization.</a> It has since been on a downtrend, plummeting to a $9.3 billion market cap at last check Monday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

How Is The Market Feeling About Cipher Mining?

Australia's Labor government has announced a $1.25 billion (AU$2 billion) initiative to aid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum">the nation's aluminum smelters</a>.
This move underscores the government&#8217;s commitment to a renewable energy transition by 2036, as well as an economic transformation ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/australia">general elections</a> scheduled for May at the latest.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese unveiled the plan: "We've got all the ingredients right here for a world-leading metals industry — from the best solar and wind resources, to the critical minerals and facilities, as well as a highly skilled workforce," he said in an <a href="https://x.com/AlboMP/status/1881171682637025758">X</a> post on Sunday, Jan. 19.

The government aims for 82% of the national energy supply to come from renewables by 2030, a leap from the current 40%, even as it faces infrastructure and supply challenges — particularly with energy costs that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42482377/australian-opposition-goes-nuclear-211-billion-plan-could-open-doors-for-uranium-miners">broadly fluctuate</a> between its territories.
As a part of the "Future Made in Australia" program, the funding will provide production credits to aluminum smelters. This is expected to incentivize the production of low-carbon aluminum created using renewable energy resources.
Australia currently ranks as the world's sixth-largest aluminum producer.
"These new aluminum production credits should provide some of the transitional support needed as Australia's energy infrastructure and systems develop, and energy pricing returns to competitive levels," <a href="https://amtil.com.au/green-aluminium-production-credit/">noted</a> Marghanita Johnson, Australian Aluminum Council CEO.
However, challenges persist, particularly with securing affordable renewable energy to meet targets
Tomago Aluminum CEO Jerome Dozol recently warned about overly optimistic government goals.
"The price of electricity on offer is too expensive for us to keep operating without government intervention," he said, <a href="https://www.afr.com/companies/energy/the-country-s-biggest-aluminium-smelter-says-green-target-unreachable-20241015-p5kick">per</a> AFR's report. Tomago, the country's largest aluminum smelter (majority-owned by Rio Tinto), aims to fully transition to renewables by 2035.
Australia's aluminum industry faces stiff global competition and high energy costs. Tomago, which produces 590,000 tons of aluminum annually, is a critical player, contributing AU$2.2 billion to the economy.
Despite challenges, optimism remains. "Governments are recognizing the problem and the benefits of interim aid for a strong aluminum sector," Dozol stated.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) researcher Troy Teslike sees three possibilities for the $7,500 tax credit currently available on the purchase of new electric vehicles once Donald Trump swears in as President on Monday.
What Happened: According to Teslike, Trump may choose to restrict the reach of the tax credit, making it apply to less number of EV models or less number of potential customers by changing the eligibility criteria. 
The President-elect could instead also restrict eligibility criteria immediately and announce that Congress will cancel the tax credit in six months, Teslike said.
However, according to Teslike, it would be ideal for EV adoption and Tesla deliveries this year if Trump instead chooses to leave the eligibility criteria of the tax credit untouched while announcing that he wants Congress to cancel it within 6 months. 
The last option, where the eligibility criteria are left untouched, will give potential buyers time to make their Tesla purchases while utilizing the tax credit. This will allow the company to make up for the drop in sales during the second half of the year once the tax credit is dropped, Teslike opined.

Why It Matters: In November, Reuters reported that President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump‘s transition team is planning to kill $7,500 tax credit available on EV purchases. The report also noted that Tesla representatives expressed support for ending the subsidy to the team.
&#8220;In my view, we should end all government subsidies, including those for EVs, oil and gas,&#8221; Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;then said.
During Tesla's second-quarter earnings in late July, Musk also said that the impact of the elimination of subsidies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39934750/trump-presidency-and-ira-cut-would-be-devastating-for-competitors-says-elon-musk-long-term-probably" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">would only be slight for Tesla</a>&nbsp;but devastating for its competitors. The elimination of EV subsidies would probably help Tesla in the long term, he added.
Teslike, however, is of the opinion that the loss of tax credit will only make Tesla<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42641207/researcher-says-cancelation-of-7500-ev-tax-credit-could-impact-teslas-deliveries-despite-ceo-elon-musk-claiming-otherwise"> lose its market to gas cars</a> from luxury car brands.
&#8220;Tesla competes with gas cars from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Audi. Therefore, without the tax credit, Teslas will effectively be $7,500 more expensive compared to those cars,&#8221;&nbsp;Teslike said in November.

Tesla Researcher Says It Will Help EV Giant's Annual Deliveries If Trump Does Not Change EV Tax Credit Eligibility Criteria Immediately

A new report from Bernstein says that the cryptocurrency market will closely examine the utilization of 80% of the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) token supply held by Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43080060/donald-trump-and-melania-memecoins-combined-market-value-is-now-higher-than-that-of-warren-buffetts-hot-pick">insiders in the coming days.</a>
The TRUMP token, launched unexpectedly on the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) blockchain, reached a fully diluted market cap of approximately $73 billion. It traded over $30 billion in a day within 48 hours, surpassing Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) as one of the largest meme coins in the market, before experiencing a drawdown of about 50% from its highs.
The token&#8217;s launch was facilitated by CIC Digital, an entity associated with the Trump campaign, which had previously launched branded NFTs and merchandise.

While the industry has viewed the token launch by the &#8220;strongest political figure&#8221; as a sign that the US is more open to digital assets and that regulatory risk might be lessened, the Bernstein report shifts the focus to the token distribution structure.
The report points out that 80% of the token&#8217;s supply is held by wallets associated with CIC Digital, raising concerns that these insiders might distribute this large supply, leading to losses for other investors and creating pressure on the token&#8217;s market value.
&#8220;The team could use TRUMP coin as collateral to build something useful in crypto banking &amp; finance or build an engagement model to reward supporters/holders. Or it could use it as a treasury asset to fund more Trump-related political initiatives,&#8221; the report stated.
Given how blockchain-based market-making works, the team is already earning strong revenue from supplying liquidity to trading pools. Given how fast the token reached a stratospheric market value, the 80% supply held by insiders does create some pressure on its market value,&#8221; it further said.
The report also touches upon the regulatory environment. It suggests that the launch of a token by a major political figure signifies a new era where governments may view crypto as a tool to reach out to the masses.
Despite this potential shift, the report cautions that the current regulatory regime in the U.S. has been about cracking down on crypto builders and enforcement actions on token-related activities. 
The president's token launch therefore signals a new era and may lead to new regulations.
