Roblox

Roblox operates a free-to-play online video game platform with about 85 million daily active users. This platform has spawned a virtual universe and a Roblox economy based on the Robux currency. The platform houses millions of games from a wide range of creators spanning from young gamers themselves to professional development studios. Roblox offers creators the tools, publishing abilities, and platform for their games, enabling anyone to create a game. Creators earn money when gamers make optional in-game purchases within their games and by offering space for real-world advertising, and Roblox earns revenue primarily by taking a cut of these earnings.

Dogecoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) recent listing via the 21Shares <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44708344/21shares-launches-dogecoin-fund-backed-by-dogecoin-foundation">Dogecoin ETP on Swiss exchanges</a> has reignited debate over whether it's just a meme—or something more substantial.
What Happened: In a detailed X <a href="https://x.com/maximichielsen/status/1912462778008281212">post</a> on April 16, 21Shares Digital Asset Investment Strategist Max Michielsen made the case that Dogecoin is evolving beyond its meme origins. 
With more than a decade of survival, a vibrant community and increasing adoption, he argues DOGE is "digital folklore" that transforms internet culture into real liquidity.
DOGE has outperformed every top 25 crypto over the past decade and doubled its user base since 2021. Among the notable highlights, Dogecoin runs on its own blockchain with fast one-minute blocks, low fees and transparent, disinflationary tokenomics. 
It supports real-world payments and charitable causes, driven by the ethos "Do Only Good Everyday."
The meme coin has generated massive returns of up to 130,000% over the last decade, consistently forming higher lows through cycles. 
DOGE has outperformed Bitcoin by 1000x and its low correlation (15%) to other major assets makes it a strong portfolio diversifier.

What's Next: Based on market share, cycle history and adoption trends, Michielsen has predicted a valuation range for Dogecoin in 2025. 
He forecasts the meme coin to touch $0.38 despite growth stagnation in a bearish market and $1 in a neutral market, accounting for a 3-4% share of a $5 trillion total crypto market capitalization.
In a bull market, Michielsen expects DOGE to repeat its last cycle's explosive run and peaking at $1.42.

What Returns Could A 1% Dogecoin ETF Allocation Yield?

The bearish sentiment, measured by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) Sentiment Survey, broke a record this week as it stayed above the 50%-mark for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44730455/bearish-sentiment-hits-seven-week-high-mimicking-35-year-old-record-which-marked-the-bottom-of-the-october-1990-b"> the eighth consecutive week.</a>
What Happened: Despite a weekly decrease in negative sentiment, the latest AAII survey showed bearishness still leading bullish and neutral views at 56.9% this week.
The bullish sentiment also declined from the previous week, while neutral sentiment rose to 17.7% from 12.5%.
AAII survey, conducted weekly from Thursday to Wednesday, noted a 2% decrease in pessimism from 58.9% to 56.9% this week; similarly, bullish sentiment also reduced by nearly 3% from 28.5% to 25.4% this week.
The bearish sentiment continues to be above 50% for the eighth straight week. The streak began on the week ended Feb. 26, when it first touched the 60.6% mark.
While the seven-week-long streak matched a 35-year-old record from October 1990, this week&#8217;s eighth week of advance broke all records.
According to Subu Trade, &#8220;This has never happened before. Not during COVID, 2008, the dot-com collapse, or the 1990 bear market.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The historical average of bearish sentiments stood at 31%, which was nearly half of the current pessimism among the participants of the AAII survey.
Whereas, historically, the bullish participants surveyed to at 37.5% on an average.
Jeff Weniger, the head of equities at WisdomTree, shared a graph combining all the fear gauges, including VIX, AAII Bears, and Investors Intelligence survey, to conclude that the S&amp;P 500 index always gains after a period of extreme fear.
&#8220;In 10 of the last 11 fear spikes, the S&amp;P 500 went on to gains over the next 52 weeks. Returns were often large too (+31.0%, +21.0%, and so on),&#8221; he said.

The most oversold stocks in the utilities sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.

President Donald Trump is reportedly transforming the White House with gold accents reminiscent of his Florida club Mar-a-Lago, bringing his signature style to the historic residence less than three months into his second term.
What Happened: The Government Publishing Office received an unusual request from the White House last month, as Trump reportedly asked for his portrait and that of Vice President JD Vance to be printed with a shimmering golden border. The design required metallic gold ink and a specialized printer, causing production delays, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-white-house-oval-office-gold-touches-6018016d">reported</a>, citing a government document.
To assist with the makeover, Trump brought in John Icart, a cabinetmaker from South Florida who has worked on projects at Mar-a-Lago, the report added. Icart added custom-made gold finishes to the Oval Office, including gilded carvings for the fireplace mantel and the molding.
Trump&#8217;s love for gold is well-known.&nbsp;His apartment on the top&nbsp;three floors of Trump Tower&nbsp;in New York is draped in gold.

Why It Matters: &#8220;People&nbsp;have tried to come up&nbsp;with a gold paint that&nbsp;would look like gold, and&nbsp;they have never been able&nbsp;to do it. You've never&nbsp;been able to match gold&nbsp;with gold paint," Trump <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6370254748112">told</a>&nbsp;Fox News during&nbsp;an interview in March.
Presidents have for decades put&nbsp;their own personal touches on&nbsp;the White House, according to&nbsp;Kate Andersen Brower, who has&nbsp;written books about the White&nbsp;House.&nbsp;"The White House is the&nbsp;People's House after all, it&nbsp;doesn't belong to any one&nbsp;President." The White House curator&nbsp;was consulted on the redecorations,&nbsp;an administration official said.
Trump&#8217;s wealth, derived from a diverse set of properties including hotels, golf clubs, and commercial as well as residential real estate, is estimated at $1.9 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38184282/peek-inside-trumps-opulent-lifestyle-the-10-most-lavish-assets-he-owns">according to a recent estimate</a> by Forbes.

</ul>
CRANBURY, N.J., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTN#NYSE">PTN</a>), a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor system, announced positive appetite suppression results from its BMT-801 Phase 2 obesity study. The study included a co-administered melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist bremelanotide plus glucagon like peptide-1/gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GLP-1/GIP) tirzepatide arm, bremelanotide alone, and tirzepatide alone arms.
Key Results – Appetite Suppression (Patient-Reported Outcomes)
Using a validated daily appetite questionnaire, the study showed that patients receiving co-administered bremelanotide + tirzepatide, tirzepatide alone, and bremelanotide alone, experienced&nbsp; significant improvements in appetite suppression, fullness, and satiety. Patients who transitioned to placebo after initial weight loss on tirzepatide showed no improvement for appetite suppression.
<ul>
<li>Overall appetite suppression
<ul>
<li>Bremelanotide + tirzepatide: 71% increase</li>
<li>Tirzepatide only: 73% increase</li>
<li>Bremelanotide only: 71% increase</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>"How full do you feel (fullness)?"
<ul>
<li>Bremelanotide + tirzepatide: 65% increase</li>
<li>Tirzepatide only: 62% increase</li>
<li>Bremelanotide only: 79% increase</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>"How satisfied do you feel (satiety)?"
<ul>
<li>Bremelanotide + tirzepatide: 56% increase</li>
<li>Tirzepatide only: 56% increase</li>
<li>Bremelanotide only: 68% increase</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Consistent with known effects of GLP-1/GIP therapy, over 50% of lost weight was regained within two weeks of stopping treatment in both the tirzepatide and co-administration arms of the study. In contrast, patients who transitioned to low-dose bremelanotide after initial weight loss on tirzepatide maintained their weight without any significant regain,&nbsp;underscoring the potential of MC4R agonists as a valuable therapy for long-term weight maintenance.&nbsp;
Topline results from the BMT-801 Phase 2 trial, released last month, demonstrated statistically significant weight loss with bremelanotide co-administered with tirzepatide versus placebo over an 8-week treatment period. Further analysis of secondary and exploratory endpoints—including body composition and BMI—is ongoing. &nbsp;
