Global investment manager&nbsp;Van Eck&nbsp;has reiterated its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41984505/bitcoin-to-peak-at-180000-says-vanecks-head-of-digital-assets-research">ambitious&nbsp;$180,000 price target</a> for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), projecting this peak within the current market cycle.
What Happened: VanEck analysts&nbsp;Nathan Frankovitz&nbsp;and&nbsp;Matthe Sigel <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/digital-assets/matthew-sigel-vaneck-mid-november-bitcoin-chaincheck">suggest</a> that favorable regulatory developments in the U.S. and increased institutional interest could propel Bitcoin to this target within 18 months.
The analysts attribute the recent surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s price, which touched $99,800 in the last 24&nbsp;hours, to the election victory of&nbsp;Donald Trump.
The analysts noted that Bitcoin entered a &#8220;new phase&#8221; on Nov. 11, with perpetual futures contracts&#8217; funding rates surpassing 10%, indicating short- to medium-term momentum.
"This shift points toward stronger short- to medium-term momentum, as historically, elevated funding rates have been linked to higher 30 to 90-day returns, reflecting heightened bullish sentiment and demand."

However, they cautioned that sustained high funding rates could deter investors seeking long-term returns.
"On average, purchases made on days when funding rates were above 10% began underperforming at the 180-day mark, with this trend becoming even more pronounced over 1-year and 2-year periods."
Why It Matters: The bullish sentiment from Van Eck comes amid a broader context of market dynamics and expert predictions.
Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42130693/bitcoins-path-to-100k-inevitable-but-leverage-to-the-gills-warns-mike-novogratz-predicts-80k-correction-ahead">recently warned about the high levels of leverage</a> in the crypto market, suggesting that while Bitcoin&#8217;s rise to $100,000 seems inevitable, a correction to $80,000 could occur due to excessive leverage.
Furthermore,&nbsp;Michaël van de Poppe, a leading cryptocurrency analyst, has forecasted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">multiple flash crashes for Bitcoin</a> before the year ends, potentially dropping its value by 5-10% in a single day. These corrections, however, could present strategic entry points for investors, as altcoins might experience significant growth post-correction.
Additionally, Van Eck&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Jan van Eck, has previously expressed a bold prediction that Bitcoin could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42009965/vaneck-ceo-boldly-predicts-bitcoin-at-300k-per-coin-reaching-half-of-golds-market-cap-in-the-face-of-growing-demand">eventually reach $300,000</a>, capturing a substantial share of the gold market as a digital alternative. This long-term outlook underscores the growing demand and institutional interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $98,663, down by 0.76% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Could Reach $180K In Current Cycle Thanks To Trump Victory, Says VanEck, But Has This Warning For Investors

Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;FTX has announced plans to begin distributing payments to creditors and customers in early 2025. This follows the approval of its&nbsp;Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, which is expected to become effective by January.
What Happened:&nbsp;John Jay Ray III, the CEO of FTX, announced that the company anticipates its&nbsp;Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization&nbsp;will be effective by January 2025.
Ray expressed satisfaction with the progress, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;are pleased to announce that&nbsp;we will begin distributing proceeds&nbsp;in early 2025.&#8221;
He emphasized the expertise and ongoing efforts of the professional team supporting the debtors, who have already recovered billions for FTX&#8217;s creditors and customers.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/11/42098422/heres-how-much-100-invested-in-cardano-today-could-be-worth-if-ada-hits-new-all-time-highs?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Here&#8217;s How Much $100 Invested In Cardano Today Could Be Worth If ADA Hits New All-Time Highs</a>
The announcement follows FTX&#8217;s nearing completion of the final steps required for the reorganization plan.
Payments are expected to be made within 60 days of the plan&#8217;s activation.
&#8220;While&nbsp;we continue to take actions&nbsp;to maximize recoveries, we are&nbsp;full steam ahead to reach&nbsp;arrangements with our distribution agents&nbsp;and return proceeds to creditors&nbsp;and customers as quickly as&nbsp;possible," Ray added.
FTX plans to finalize arrangements&nbsp;with specialized distribution agents by&nbsp;early December. These agents will&nbsp;facilitate the global distribution of recoveries to customers, who will receive instructions to establish approved accounts with these agents.
FTX aims to announce the exact&nbsp;effective date of distribution by&nbsp;the end of next month.
Why It Matters: The announcement marks a pivotal moment in FTX&#8217;s bankruptcy proceedings.
In October, a U.S. bankruptcy judge approved&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41234936/ftx-to-repay-creditors-up-to-16-5b-is-this-bullish-for-bitcoin">FTX's plan</a>&nbsp;to repay creditors up to $16.5 billion, concluding a two-year bankruptcy saga.
This decision came after a series of legal challenges, including a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40248878/ftx-alameda-ordered-to-pay-12-7b-to-creditors-by-u-s-judge">$12.7 billion restitution order</a>&nbsp;in August and a settlement over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40791711/ftx-moves-to-settle-600m-robinhood-shares-dispute-with-14m-payment-amid-bankruptcy-proceed">Robinhood shares</a>&nbsp;in September.
The approval of the reorganization plan and the upcoming payments are crucial for restoring trust in the crypto ecosystem and providing relief to affected creditors and customers.

Bankrupt Crypto Exchange FTX To Commence Payments To Customers, Creditors In Early 2025

In a significant development for lunar exploration, Elon Musk-led&nbsp;SpaceX&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starship">Starship</a> has been chosen by&nbsp;Lunar Outpost&nbsp;to deliver its new moon rover, Eagle, to the lunar surface.
What Happened: This comes after a successful suborbital test flight of the 400-foot-tall Starship from Texas, marking its sixth flight.
&#8220;Having experienced the recent groundbreaking&nbsp;Starship test flight firsthand, we&#8217;re&nbsp;confident that SpaceX is advancing&nbsp;the most capable launch system&nbsp;ever created and will successfully&nbsp;land our Eagle vehicles on&nbsp;the surface of the moon," said Justin Cyrus, founder and CEO of Lunar Outpost.
This contract is a crucial step for Lunar Outpost&#8217;s mission to establish&nbsp;a sustainable human presence in&nbsp;space.
The company is collaborating with Leidos, MDA Space, Goodyear, and General Motors on the Eagle Rover.
The &#8220;Lunar Dawn&#8221; team, including Lunar Outpost, is one of three private groups selected by NASA to develop a version of the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) for the Artemis program.

SpaceX&#8217;s Starship is also set to launch another LTV rover, FLEX, developed by&nbsp;Venturi Astrolab.
NASA has chosen Starship for its first crewed lunar landing under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41400036/nasa-assigns-2-missions-to-spacex-for-2025-after-boeings-starliner-stranded-astronauts">Artemis 3 mission</a>, scheduled for late 2026.
Why It Matters: The selection of SpaceX&#8217;s Starship for the lunar mission underscores the company&#8217;s growing role in space exploration.
Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs">SpaceX unveiled a conceptual image</a> of the Starship Human Landing System (HLS) designed to facilitate the first human landing on the Moon since 1971.
This version of Starship will feature landing legs instead of a heat shield and flaps.
Additionally, Musk has expressed confidence in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42082169/elon-musk-predicts-tesla-cybertrucks-optimus-robots-will-be-aboard-spacex-starships-to-mars-in-2-years">SpaceX&#8217;s ability to send uncrewed Starships to Mars</a> within two years, potentially carrying&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;Cybertrucks and Optimus robots as payloads.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s satellite internet division, Starlink, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42082877/spacexs-starlink-enables-realtime-views-of-earth-during-starships-6th-test-flight-could-it-be-the-future-of-space-connectivity">demonstrated real-time Earth views</a> during Starship&#8217;s sixth test flight, showcasing the potential for enhanced space connectivity.
While SpaceX is currently a privately held company, investors can leverage&nbsp;Destiny Tech100 Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXYZ#NASDAQ">DXYZ</a>) to participate in the Musk-led space company&#8217;s growth. According to data from&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, DXYZ has gained over 366% year-to-date.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Secures New Moon Mission Contract After Starship's Successful 6th Test Flight

Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>)&nbsp;is gearing up to introduce its budget-friendly ID.2 electric vehicle by the end of 2025, with an SUV version to follow. This move marks a significant step in Volkswagen&#8217;s strategy to expand its electric vehicle lineup.
What Happened: Volkswagen&nbsp;is on schedule to release its budget-friendly ID.2 electric vehicle by late 2025, <a href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/volkswagen-overhaul-entire-electric-car-line-up-2026">reported</a> Autocar. This model is expected to be the most economical in the company&#8217;s lineup, priced under $27,000 (€25,000).
At the LA Auto Show,&nbsp;Volkswagen&#8217;s tech development head,&nbsp;Kai Grünitz, confirmed that the ID.2 will lead a major overhaul of the brand&#8217;s &#8220;ID&#8221; electric car series. Grünitz indicated that significant advancements are anticipated,&nbsp;starting in 2026, with a&nbsp;fresh design approach.
"It's matching 100% to our brand values: it will be stable and likable with our secret sauce—but in a different way," Grünitz said, according to the report.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42081589/tesla-electric-offers-unlimited-overnight-charging-for-just-5-a-month-as-ev-giant-races-toward-500k-sales-target?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla Electric Offers Unlimited Overnight Charging For Just $5 A Month As EV Giant Races Toward 500K Sales Target</a>
The&nbsp;ID.2 will be the first&nbsp;vehicle to utilize&nbsp;Volkswagen&#8217;s new MEB Entry Platform. An SUV version is slated for a reveal&nbsp;at the Munich Motor Show&nbsp;in September 2025, with a GTI model also in development.
Grünitz emphasized that the ID.2 will mark a new beginning for&nbsp;Volkswagen, with customers noticing a substantial transformation. The vehicle promises a range of up to 279 miles (450 km) and combines the spaciousness of a Golf with the affordability of a Polo.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Volkswagen&#8217;s push to launch the ID.2 comes amid a challenging period for the company.
In the third quarter of 2024, the automaker experienced a 10% decline in electric vehicle sales, primarily in the U.S. and Europe, although&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41307960/volkswagen-ev-sales-drop-10-in-q3-due-to-slowdown-in-us-and-eu-but-china-shines-as-a-bright-spot-wit">China showed a 5% growth</a>. This underscores the importance of the ID.2 as a strategic move to capture a larger market share.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen has been making strategic investments, such as increasing its stake in Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>). Analysts see this as a vital step for both companies, aiding in production and cost efficiency. The collaboration is expected to provide <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41938838/rivians-deal-with-volkswagen-will-help-ev-giant-navigate-the-ship-in-stormy-waters-says-top-analyst-maintains-outperform-rating-with-20-target">capital for future growth</a>, enhancing vehicle offerings and software integration.

Volkswagen's Affordable ID.2 EV Set For 2025 Launch, SUV Variant To Follow: 'Stable And Likable With Our Secret Sauce'

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is set to face a multibillion-dollar lawsuit following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/06/39259832/metas-legal-battle-over-cambridge-analytica-scandal-heads-to-supreme-court">dismissal of its appeal</a> by the U.S. Supreme Court over the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
What Happened: The Supreme Court, which heard arguments on Meta's appeal on Nov. 6, gave no explanation for the dismissal.&nbsp;
It only stated that the case was being "dismissed as improvidently granted," <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-22/facebook-appeal-over-shareholder-suit-dropped-by-supreme-court?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg.&nbsp;
This dismissal increases the likelihood of Mark Zuckerberg's Meta facing a costly settlement, potentially as large as $2 billion, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matthew Schettenhelm.
In a statement, Meta has expressed disappointment and maintained that the plaintiff&#8217;s claims are baseless. "We will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the district court."

Meta is accused of misleading shareholders about the risks associated with the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, involving the unauthorized use of personal data from over 30 million users.
The shareholders argue that revelations about the breach eventually led to two 2018 price drops that cost the company more than $200 billion in market value.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for a statement.
Why It Matters: Meta faced another legal setback in October when a U.S. District Judge rejected the company's attempt to dismiss claims made in two separate lawsuits filed by U.S. states.
The lawsuits accused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41349398/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-to-face-lawsuits-over-teen-social-media-addiction-judge-rejects-dismissal-moti">Meta of contributing to mental health</a> issues among teenagers by making its platforms addictive.
Moreover, shareholder lawsuits have been a common occurrence in the tech industry. For instance, In October Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) agreed to a $433.5 million settlement in a class-action l<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41559403/alibaba-agrees-to-433-5m-settlement-in-shareholder-class-action-lawsuit">awsuit filed by its shareholders</a>.
Similarly, Tilray Brands Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42015978/shareholder-lawsuit-challenges-tilrays-voting-tactics-for-authorized-share-increase">faced a shareholder lawsuit</a> accusing the company of misleading voting practices.
Currently, the Supreme Court is also reviewing an appeal by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41960485/nvidias-crypto-past-returns-to-haunt-as-supreme-court-signals-green-light-for-lawsuit">Nvidia Corporation</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which faces a lawsuit alleging it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41960485/nvidias-crypto-past-returns-to-haunt-as-supreme-court-signals-green-light-for-lawsuit">misled shareholders about</a> its dependence on crypto-mining revenue ahead of a market crash.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s shares dropped 0.7% on Friday, ending the day at $559.14. In after-hours trading, the stock gained 0.098%, reaching $559.69 as of this writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Meta Faces Multibillion-Dollar Lawsuit As Supreme Court Dismisses Appeal In Cambridge Analytica Data Scandal

The Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC has set a new record in financial penalties, with a significant portion resulting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40809382/terraform-labs-historic-4-5b-settlement-with-sec-makes-2024-the-most-penalized-year-for-cr">from a settlement with</a> Terraform Labs.
What Happened: The regulator has gathered $8.2 billion in monetary penalties for the fiscal year 2024, marking the highest amount in the agency&#8217;s history.
This figure represents a 67% increase from the $4.9 billion collected in fiscal year 2023.
Despite the record penalty collection, the SEC saw a 26% decline in enforcement actions during the year, with 583 actions taken.
The regulator also barred 124 individuals from serving as officers and directors of public companies, marking the second-highest number in a decade.

Moreover, the SEC returned $345 million to investors who had been impacted, bringing the total amount returned since fiscal year 2021 to over $2.7 billion.
The agency also processed 45,130 tips, complaints, and referrals during the year — a record high — including over 24,000 whistleblower submissions.
Notably, more than 14,000 of those submissions came from just two individuals. The regulator has awarded whistleblowers a total of $255 million.
Why It Matters: The SEC has been cracking down on companies for misleading public disclosures related to cybersecurity risks and breaches.
The record-breaking total was largely influenced by a significant monetary judgment against cryptocurrency company Terraform Labs and its former CEO Do Kwon, following a successful SEC jury trial.
The case was one of the largest securities frauds in U.S. history.
Another notable financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36649969/morgan-stanley-to-pay-249m-penalty-in-block-trade-case-how-leaks-cost-blackstone-oaktree-million">penalty was a $249 million</a> settlement with Morgan Stanley, resolving SEC charges related to the disclosure of confidential information about large stock sales.
In October, the regulator also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41470706/sec-charges-four-companies-over-solarwinds-hacks-issues-millions-in-penalties">charged four major companies</a> over the SolarWinds hacks, issuing millions in penalties.
Earlier this month, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. also agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41685913/jpmorgan-to-pay-investors-151-million-after-sec-flags-various-law-violations">pay investors $151 million</a> following SEC charges for various law violations.
The stringent regulatory approach, particularly towards cryptocurrencies, has been a hallmark of SEC Chair Gary Gensler&#8217;s tenure, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">announced that he will step down</a> in January.
During his tenure, the SEC pursued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40568347/after-binance-and-coinbase-gary-gensler-led-sec-set-to-lock-horns-with-crypto-exchange-kra">several enforcement actions</a> against prominent cryptocurrency firms, including filing lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance for allegedly running unregistered securities exchanges.
In July, President-elect Donald Trump had stated, "I will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40018935/trumps-bitcoin-conference-pledge-can-he-really-fire-sec-chair-gensler">fire Gary Gensler</a> on day one." His statement was an indication of a possible change in the SEC's stance on digital assets with the new administration.

SEC Shatters Record With $8.2B In Penalties For 2024, Led by Terraform Labs' Massive Settlement

Eric Jackson, the founder and portfolio manager at EMJ Capital, has shared his thoughts on the potential catalysts that could drive Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) value to $100,000.
What Happened: On Friday, Jackson appeared on CNBC&#8217;s Closing Bell and suggested that the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, new SEC policies, and global adoption could spark Bitcoin&#8217;s next bull run.
During the interview, Jackson stated, &#8220;I think a lot of people that I talk to say, well, it&#8217;s just going to kiss $100,000 and pull back.&#8221;&nbsp;
Adding, &#8220;But I do think there&#8217;s a chance like that $100,000 milestone could be a rethink for a lot of investors both institutional, sovereign retail, and there are a bunch of catalysts ahead I think.&#8221;

He went on to explain that the new SEC regime and the potential for a strategic reserve could be significant catalysts for Bitcoin.
Jackson also said that the Thanksgiving period often acts as a springboard for bullish crypto periods, rather than a setback.
He concluded by saying, &#8220;I think those names, you know, and the fact that they … there&#8217;s a real structure that&#8217;s going to be coming into place, around crypto and Bitcoin, I think those will be catalysts in and of themselves.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Earlier, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. CEO Mike Novogratz warned of a potential pullback due to excessive market leverage, but maintained that Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42130693/bitcoins-path-to-100k-inevitable-but-leverage-to-the-gills-warns-mike-novogratz-predicts-80k-correction-ahead">reaching $100,000 is &#8220;inevitable.&#8221;</a>
Meanwhile, MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor has predicted that Bitcoin could hit $13 million by 2045, a valuation that would put Bitcoin's market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42116183/michael-saylor-predicted-bitcoin-to-hit-13-million-if-it-happens-it-will-entail-massive-hyperinflation-analyst-warns">cap at around $250 trillion</a>.
Companies like MicroStrategy, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42121936/bitcoin-boom-20-microstrategy-gains-traction-as-a-leveraged-bet-on-crypto-growth">owns more than 150,000 Bitcoins</a>, are emerging as key players in this evolving market, effectively operating as a leveraged bet on the cryptocurrency.
In a note to Benzinga, Sumit Gupta, co-founder of CoinDCX, highlighted the surge in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42135905/bitcoin-nears-100000-momentum-could-continue-well-beyond-the-milestone-experts-note">trading activity as a key driver</a>. He also pointed to developments in the U.S. political landscape as a contributing factor.
The digital asset market has already benefited from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">incoming administration</a> of President-elect Donald Trump, with many speculating that a potential second term could bring more favorable regulatory policies for crypto.
Gupta added that speculation over SEC Chair Gary Gensler's resignation and the possibility of crypto-friendly leadership has further fueled investor optimism.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $98,816, up nearly 0.2% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin's Road To $100K: Why Thanksgiving, New SEC Policies, And Global Adoption Could Spark The Next Bull Run, According To This Portfolio Manager

President-elect Donald Trump has picked hedge fund executive Scott Bessent as the U.S. Treasury Secretary.
What Happened: Bessent, 62 and founder of Key Square Group, was a leading candidate, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42091821/could-donald-trumps-potential-treasury-secretary-be-out-of-his-depth-on-crypto-policy-polymarket-traders-just-cant-decide-on-a-favorite">competing with</a> former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and private equity executive Marc Rowan.
While sharing the decision on Friday via his social media platform Truth Social, Trump lauded Bessent as "one of the World's foremost International Investors and Geopolitical and Economic Strategists."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22205557/Screenshot-2024-11-23-at-7.25.49%E2%80%AFAM-900x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661913" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Truth Social</figcaption></figure>

Bessent is known for his support of gradual tariffs and deregulation, aligning with Trump&#8217;s economic vision, which includes reviving manufacturing and achieving energy independence.
Despite his previous role as chief investment officer for George Soros' fund, Trump expressed confidence in Bessent&#8217;s ability to improve U.S. competitiveness and address trade imbalances.
Why It Matters: As Treasury Secretary, Bessent will replace outgoing Secretary Janet Yellen, overseeing financial institutions and combating financial crimes at a time when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42140842/sp-500-faces-volatile-2025-as-inflation-boom-could-return-bank-of-america-strategist">the national debt has ballooned to $36 trillion</a>.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41909846/trumps-treasury-pick-frontrunner-scott-bessent-could-shift-wall-street-crypto">betting markets</a>, Bessent was a frontrunner with an 82% probability of securing the nomination. His appointment could significantly impact Wall Street and the crypto sector.
In October, Bessent assured that a new Trump administration would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41308042/trump-adviser-defends-ex-presidents-economic-policies-strong-dollar-would-natural">support a strong dollar</a>, countering previous suggestions of a weaker dollar to boost exports.
Despite Elon Musk&#8217;s support for Howard Lutnick, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/24/11/42044642/trump-appears-frustrated-as-elon-musk-chimes-in-on-treasury-secretary-adds-more-names-to-a-list-of-potential-picks">Trump favored Bessent&#8217;s</a> business-as-usual approach.
In July, Bessent gained attention for his optimistic stance on cryptocurrency, suggesting he might support digital assets if confirmed. &#8220;Crypto is about freedom and the crypto economy is here to stay,&#8221; he stated at the time.
The latest 13F filing from Bessent&#8217;s Key Square Group fund shows a highly concentrated portfolio, with equal investments in two banking-focused ETFs: the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBE#NYSE">KBE</a>), each making up 50% of the fund.
