ENDRA Life Sciences Inc is engaged in the development of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS) to visualize tissue like MRI at the cost and at the point of patient care. TAEUS is designed to work in concert with around 400,000 cart-based ultrasound systems in use globally today. TAEUS is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver as a means to assess and monitor Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), chronic liver conditions that affect over one billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, the firm is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS, including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures.

Tim Chen, Global Head of Strategy at Mantle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MNT</a>), addressed retail investors' concerns about fragmented liquidity and gas fee confusion in Layer 2 (L2) ecosystems, emphasizing their growing importance.
In an interview with Benzinga, Chen likened L2s to retailers serving niche markets, arguing they are vital for scaling Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) capabilities but must find meaningful product-market fit to overcome current challenges.
"Think of it as like if Ethereum were wholesalers," said Chen. "You need retailers to go into every nook and cranny, serve every niche." But he cautioned, "The infighting happens when there is not enough activity… when the L2s have no product-market fit."
He acknowledged that infighting among L2s stems from insufficient activity and lack of demand, stating, "The infighting happens when there is not enough activity. The infighting happens when the L2s have no product market fit."
To illustrate, Chen compared poorly positioned L2s to "a retailer trying to sell winter coats in the Caribbean," highlighting the need for demand-driven solutions. 
He cited Mantle's UR Bank, a crypto neobank, as an example of an L2 application driving real-world transactions, noting, "if we can have UR Bank as a global product, and that's processing millions of transactions a day that's being settled on the mantle L2, then passed back to L1 mainnet is being secured there, then the economics will start working, right?"

Chen stressed that L2 ecosystems can resolve retail hesitations by creating products with tangible demand, such as Mantle's infrastructure, which supports $4 billion in treasury assets and $3-4 billion in total value locked on its Mantle Network. 
"I think those concerns are well founded, but can be mitigated once these L2s and ecosystems actually create a product with enough meaningful demand and transaction bumps," he added.
Chen's vision underscores L2s' role in onboarding the next billion users, particularly in emerging markets, by simplifying access through user-friendly interfaces like UR Bank.
As L2 competition intensifies, Chen believes differentiation lies in solving real-world problems, not just technical scalability. 
"That's why for us we're trying to find new product market fit in the real world as opposed to just on chain," he said.

Mantle's Tim Chen Explains Why Layer 2 Ecosystems Are Critical Despite Retail Hesitation

With Wall Street shut for Juneteenth, global investors turned their eyes to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, triggering a sharp oil price rally and pulling European stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/european-markets">to multi-week lows.</a>
West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed past $76.50 per barrel on Thursday, marking their highest level since January. Investors responded to rising geopolitical risk after Tel Aviv said it targeted Iranian nuclear sites in retaliatory strikes, prompting fears of a broader regional conflict.
The tension grew after <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/trump-privately-approved-attack-plans-for-iran-but-has-withheld-final-order-4563c526">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported President Donald Trump had approved U.S. military plans for Iran but held back from issuing a final order. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying, "The Wall Street Journal has No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!"
The potential for a U.S. military entry into the conflict has revived fears of shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint through which roughly 20% of global oil supply flows.

Adding to bullish oil momentum, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday a staggering 11.5-million-barrel draw in crude inventories for the week ending June 13. This marks the largest weekly decline in a year, reflecting surging demand and high refinery throughput amid the peak summer fuel season.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Equities Tumble As Risk-Off Mode Deepens</h3>
European equities ended Thursday's session with sharp losses as investors reduced risk exposure amid geopolitical instability and energy concerns.
Italy's FTSE MIB index fell 1.59% to 38,793, touching a six-week low. 
The Euro Stoxx 50 dropped 1.38% to 5,197, while France's CAC 40 and Spain's IBEX 35 slid 1.38% and 1.36%, respectively. 
Germany's DAX closed 1.17% lower at 23,047.
Investors are bracing for Friday's diplomatic meeting between European Union leaders and Iran in Switzerland.
Monetary policy responses were mixed across Europe on Thursday.
The Swiss National Bank reduced its policy rate by 25 basis points to 0%, marking the first time borrowing costs returned to zero since negative rates ended in late 2022. The rate cut, widely expected by markets, aims to support domestic growth amid a cooling economy.
Norway's central bank also trimmed rates, aligning with a broader shift among smaller European economies facing sluggish momentum.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England kept its main interest rate unchanged at 4.25%. Six of nine Monetary Policy Committee members voted to maintain rates, while three pushed for a 25 basis point cut, reflecting growing pressure to ease financial conditions.
Despite, the broader risk-off mood, futures on gold – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – remained steady at $3,365 per ounce. 
In currency markets, the dollar gained slightly, with the U.S. dollar index rising 0.3% to 99.10 levels, extending its weekly rally.

Nicholas Wealth has launched the Nicholas Crypto Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLOX#NYSE">BLOX</a>), a fund that aims to deliver access to the broader cryptocurrency universe with the addition of an options-based approach intended to generate a stream of income. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF was launched</a> on Wednesday and is the newest entrant in the firm&#8217;s growing roster under the XFUNDS brand.
As an actively managed product, BLOX stands out from traditional crypto-themed funds in that it combines three specific components. The first is an equity portfolio that targets companies involved in the digital asset value chain — from cryptocurrency miners to trading platforms, blockchain infrastructure providers, and companies with large crypto holdings on their balance sheets.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/46007611/roundhills-new-etfs-offer-weekly-income-from-amazon-meta-netflix-and-more">Roundhill&#8217;s New ETFs Offer Weekly Income From Amazon, Meta, Netflix, And More</a>
The second component provides direct exposure to digital currencies by way of U.S.-listed ETFs and exchange-traded products tracking Bitcoin and Ethereum. This strategy provides regulated market access and offers flexibility to include other crypto-linked instruments as new vehicles emerge.
What distinguishes BLOX, though, is its options overlay approach, which is designed to actively manage both risk and income opportunity. Instead of depending mainly on price appreciation, the fund aims to produce income by selling put spreads on its crypto component and selectively writing covered calls or other put spreads on its equity portfolio. In contrast to much conventional options-based income funds that limit upside through call spreads, BLOX&#8217;s structure permits more exposure to market appreciation.
David Nicholas, XFUNDS by Nicholas Wealth CEO, said the fund is created to tackle the double challenges investors encounter in digital asset markets — high volatility and missing consistent income. 
The fund seems ideally suited for financial planners and income-driven investors seeking to tap the crypto economy in a more conventional investment format. It will likely be of interest particularly to clients with lower risk tolerance or who are in need of retirement-friendly solutions in an asset class commonly considered volatile.
BLOX complements Nicholas Wealth&#8217;s expanding ETF line-up, which also comprises the Nicholas Fixed Income Alternative ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIAX#NYSE">FIAX</a>), a 2022-introduced fund that leverages Treasury exposure and option premiums, and the Nicholas Global Equity and Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIAX#NYSE">GIAX</a>), launched in 2024 to combine global equity exposure with index-based option strategies.
By combining digital asset exposure, diversification of equity, and a specified-income overlay, BLOX can be a new point of entry into the cryptocurrency market, especially for investors who have stayed on the sidelines because of the asset class&#8217;s intrinsic volatility and absence of yield.

NOV's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOV#NYSE">NOV</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.39% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 28.09 million shares sold short, which is 16.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 8.45 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Abercrombie & Fitch?

In the current market session, ConocoPhillips Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) share price is at $94.09, after a 1.48% decrease. Over the past month, the stock increased by 8.91%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 15.75%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750352422_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>ConocoPhillips P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 21.34 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, ConocoPhillips Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 12.1. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750352422_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

The total number of operational or fully committed clean industrial facilities worldwide now stands at 134.
"Despite the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, momentum continues to build," MPP CEO Faustine Delasalle wrote in the <a href="https://www.missionpossiblepartnership.org/tracker-insights/jun-25/">report's foreword.</a> "This is in no small part because many companies and governments understand clean industry is an economic opportunity, not just a climate imperative."
MPP's latest Global Project Tracker identifies a total of 826 industrial decarbonization projects worldwide. Of these, 692 have been announced, 65 have secured financing and passed FID, and 69 are already operational.
The report notes that the most significant progress has occurred in the chemicals and fuels sectors, particularly in hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, while hard-to-abate materials sectors, such as steel and cement, remain more challenging due to price competitiveness and technological maturity.
The report notes the growing importance of the so-called "New Industrial Sunbelt." The term refers to a group of emerging economies like Brazil, India, Oman, Egypt, South Africa, but also Australia, all strategically positioned to lead the industry due to high renewable energy potential, abundant land availability, and improving policies.
These countries now account for nearly one-third of all announced clean industrial projects and about 25% of those that have reached FID. Their role is seen as essential to the future of globally distributed, low-emission industrial production.
Still, MPP is clear about challenges ahead, highlighting three persistent barriers: heightened trade tensions and global macroeconomic uncertainty, unclear or shifting government policy frameworks, especially concerning tax credits and carbon border mechanisms, and a glut of capacity in conventional commodities like grey steel and basic chemicals, which continues to suppress market prices and delay green investment.
As many as 700 projects remain in pre-FID status, representing an estimated $1.6 trillion in capital investment opportunity. Among these are several high-profile initiatives now facing delays or reevaluation. These include Fortescue's (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSUGY#OTCQX">FSUGY</a>)&nbsp; Gibson Island green hydrogen plant in Australia and ArcelorMittal's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MT#NYSE">MT</a>) flagship green steel project in Europe.
Yet, MPP remains optimistic, identifying three critical drivers of enabling successful project advancement. These include declining costs of renewable energy and clean industrial technologies, stronger demand-side measures such as procurement mandates and offtake agreements, and coordinated supply-side policies to de-risk capital investment.

Oscar Health&#8217;s connection to Trump is primarily through Joshua Kushner, the co-founder and vice-chairman of Oscar Health and brother of Jared Kushner, who served as a senior advisor to President Trump. Jared Kushner is married to Trump&#8217;s daughter, Ivanka Trump. Therefore, Oscar Health has an indirect connection to the Trump family through Joshua Kushner&#8217;s familial relationship.

Why It Matters: Technical analysis of Oscar Health paints a largely bullish picture for the stock. According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, its price of $18.77 apiece is higher than the short and long-term simple daily moving averages.
Its momentum indicator, MACD, was also bullish as the MACD line was at 0.40, above the signal line of 0.12 and a positive histogram value of 0.28. This meant that the stock&#8217;s 12-day exponential moving average was trading above the 26-day EMA.
However, the relative strength index of 70.94 meant that the stock was overbought and the prices could correct.

Utila, a digital asset operations platform catering to institutional users, has integrated staking support for Chorus One, enabling access to staking services across several major Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks directly from within its platform.
The <a href="https://x.com/ChorusOne/status/1935684139874652571">integration </a>allows institutions using Utila to stake assets on networks such as Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Sui (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SUI</a>), TON (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TON</a>), and Aptos (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">APT</a>) through Chorus One's validator infrastructure. 
It also supports staking from Utila's console, browser extension, or other supported Web3 wallets, without requiring any external setup.
Utila's staking process incorporates in-platform monitoring for validator performance and reward tracking, and leverages its policy-controlled, non-custodial MPC (multi-party computation) wallet for secure execution. 
According to Utila, this setup ensures staking is compliant with enterprise-grade governance and security standards.

Brian Crain, Chorus One's CEO, added, "This integration allows institutional users to access our trusted staking infrastructure within Utila's unified platform."
Chorus One has operated staking infrastructure since 2018 and currently supports over 40 PoS networks. 
It also runs OPUS, a staking product for Ethereum, and manages a $30 million venture fund targeting PoS and interoperability projects.
Both companies emphasized the importance of combining infrastructure reliability with operational simplicity for institutions. 
The integration is now live for customers of both platforms.
