Belite Bio Q4 2024 GAAP EPS $(0.32) Misses $(0.31) Estimate, As Of December 31, 2024, The Company Had $31.7M In Cash

Jameson Lopp, chief security officer at Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) custody firm Casa and a noted technologist, opposed the use of quantum computers to recover lost BTCs on Sunday and instead proposed burning them to uphold the protocol&#8217;s integrity.
What Happened: In a blog <a href="https://blog.lopp.net/against-quantum-recovery-of-bitcoin/">post</a>, Lopp envisioned a scenario where the Bitcoin network would undergo a quantum resistance upgrade and discussed what should ideally be done with quantum-vulnerable coins and coins that have been hacked.
&#8220;Allowing quantum recovery of Bitcoin is tantamount to wealth redistribution,&#8221; Lopp argued. &#8220;What we&#8217;d be allowing is for Bitcoin to be redistributed from those who are ignorant of quantum computers to those who have won the technological race to acquire quantum computers.&#8221;
He further added that allowing a quantum adversary to gain control of others&#8217; funds would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36149260/not-your-keys-not-your-wallet-elon-musk-adds-to-blocks-bitkey-buzz-as-jack-dorsey-says-mov">violate</a> the &#8220;Not your keys, not your coins&#8221; thesis and weaken the fundamental principles of cryptocurrencies. Moreover, if the entity exploits vulnerable addresses, it would erode trust in Bitcoin as a trusted store of value.
To avoid this, Lopp suggested alerting users that vulnerable funds would be burned or frozen after a specified date. This, according to him, would fasten migration to quantum-resistant addresses.
&#8220;Allowing vulnerable users to delay upgrading indefinitely will result in more laggards, leaving the network more exposed when quantum tech becomes available,&#8221; Lopp stated.

Why It Matters: The debate around quantum computing and its potential threat to Bitcoin has been ongoing. 
Last year, Google&#8217;s new &#8220;Willow&#8221; quantum computing chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42420845/googles-quantum-willow-chip-lightyears-from-cracking-bitcoin-expert">sparked concerns</a> about a powerful computer potentially breaking through the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s encryption, although some experts stated that this was still &#8220;lightyears&#8221; away.
Moreover, a study suggested that Bitcoin might need to undergo a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42546731/bitcoin-could-require-over-300-days-of-downtime-to-prepare-it-for-the-quantum-era-shows-study-amid-google-willow-chip-concern"> costly and time-consuming update</a> process to ward off the threat of quantum computing in the future. 
The study estimated that a protocol update to protect Bitcoin from quantum computing threats would require taking the cryptocurrency offline for about 76 days if 100% of the bandwidth is committed to the process. If only 25% of the bandwidth is allowed, the update could take nearly 305 days or 10 months.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,275.88, down 1.10% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Baird Upgrades Flowserve to Outperform, Maintains Price Target to $71

U.S. stock futures fell again on Monday after Friday&#8217;s rally, as benchmark indices hovered around the correction zone. Futures of all four benchmark indices declined in premarket trading.
Investors will focus on the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s decision on interest rates slated to be released on Wednesday this week. The meeting will begin on Tuesday and Chairman Jerome Powell will address a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
February&#8217;s retail sales data will be released today before the market opens. President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff negotiations continue as traders wait for &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; which go into effect on April 2nd.
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the Trump administration is working to prevent a financial crisis caused by years of excessive government spending. 
"I can guarantee we would have had a crisis if spending had continued at unsustainable levels," Bessent said <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/16/treasury-secretary-bessent-says-white-house-is-heading-off-financial-crisis.html">on</a> NBC's Meet the Press. "We are resetting and putting things on a sustainable path.&#8221;
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.29%, while the two-year yield was at 4.01%. According <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> the CME Group's FedWatch tool, there is a 99% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
The CEO of Creative Planning, Peter Mallouk in an X post highlighted that over the last 75 years, the intra-year market drop has been 14% on average.
&#8220;Downside volatility is the price investors pay for long-term outperformance,&#8221; he added.

Ryan Detrick of Carson Research also highlighted the historical data and underlined this was the fastest period of correction for the S&amp;P 500 after scaling a fresh high on Feb. 19. It just took the index 16 days to slip into the correction territory.

According to the Panic/Euphoria analysis model shared by Jay Kaeppel, the senior market analyst at SentimenTrader, the S&amp;P 500's decline was still not flashing a buy signal. However, from this point, investors could &#8220;Start looking for a buy signal,&#8221; at the current levels.

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower As Futures Decline: 'Stay Calm And Stick With Your Long-Term Plan,' Says Expert Amid Correction Woes

A <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44212431/meta-whistleblower-alleges-zuckerberg-offered-china-full-censorship-control-and-user-data-access-in-desperate-bid-to-enter-market-working-hand-in-glove-with-the-chinese-communist-party-and-lying-about-it">new memoir by a former</a> Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) executive reveals how Facebook&#8217;s massive campaign to promote Free Basics in India was ultimately undone by a single click.
What Happened: In "Careless People," a memoir by former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams, the author said that the social media giant&#8217;s 2016 efforts to salvage its controversial Free Basics program in India were thwarted by a "low-ranking" official at the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), according to <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/new-updates/how-a-low-ranking-indian-official-outsmarted-tech-giant-mark-zuckerberg-and-his-facebook-team-with-just-a-click/articleshow/119098294.cms?from=mdr">a</a> report by the Economic Times.
"Mark [Zuckerberg] and some of the brightest tech minds in the world devoted months to this [outreach strategy], and some low-ranking official in India outfoxed them simply by clicking an opt-out box," Wynn-Williams writes in the book.

At the time, Facebook (now Meta) had launched a massive lobbying and public relations push to save Free Basics, a program designed to offer limited internet access for free in emerging markets.
Critics argued it violated net neutrality by giving preferential treatment to certain websites and services.
According to the memoir, Facebook used its vast platform to prompt users in India to send nearly 16 million emails to TRAI in support of Free Basics, creating what Wynn-Williams describes as "the appearance of public support."
The campaign backfired when a TRAI official—reportedly someone responsible for managing the consultation inbox—simply "opted out of all emails from Facebook," effectively shutting down the company's most aggressive lobbying tool.
With the feedback mechanism disabled, the pressure campaign lost its leverage.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It's Important: The book also alleges that Facebook took extraordinary measures to exert influence, including hiring an "ex-police captain" willing to "go to jail in a clash between Facebook and the Indian government," should legal tensions escalate.
Wynn-Williams quotes former COO Sheryl Sandberg in an internal email, saying, "We're lucky this is happening in a place where we have very deep senior relationships in the government, but it's still going to be hard."
Free Basics was ultimately banned in India for violating net neutrality principles.
Meta has previously denied the claims in the book, calling them "out-of-date and previously reported."
Last week, Meta won an emergency legal ruling to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44294128/meta-silences-whistleblower-who-worked-with-mark-zuckerberg-and-sheryl-sandberg-book-alleges-harassment-and-shady-china-strategy">block the promotion</a> of the memoir by Wynn-Williams. The book also alleges that the company ignored sexual harassment complaints and quietly developed censorship tools for China.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock ended Friday's regular session at $607.60, gaining 2.96%. However, in after-hours trading, it dipped 0.41%. So far this year, the stock has risen 1.40%, and over the past 12 months, it has surged 22.26%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

The recent downturn in Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) value has significantly affected the unrealized gains of Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), which has made substantial investments in the cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Strategy&#8217;s paper profits have taken a hit and slipped below $9 billion as Bitcoin struggles to break through key resistance levels, as per a report <a href="https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/14434">by</a> The Tokenpost. The company&#8217;s total Bitcoin holdings are now worth less than before, leading to questions about the viability of its investment approach. In November, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41874605/michael-saylors-microstrategy-racks-up-over-10b-in-unrealized-profit-as-bitcoin-blows-past-82k'">the firm gained over </a>$10 billion in profit from its Bitcoin investments.
Since 2020, Strategy has been proactively adding Bitcoin to its treasury, buying the asset at various price levels, including near record highs.&nbsp;However, the company&#8217;s holdings have come under pressure due to the recent market downturn. With Bitcoin currently trading below $84,000, Strategy&#8217;s recent acquisitions have not produced the anticipated returns.
This situation has raised concerns about the company&#8217;s method&nbsp;of using new stock offerings&nbsp;to purchase more Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin has shown some recovery, its inability to surpass the critical resistance level of $87,000 keeps Strategy&#8217;s holdings under pressure.

Why It Matters: The recent dip in Bitcoin&#8217;s price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44349226/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-slid-ahead-of-feds-interest-rate-decision-analyst-predicts-8-btc-upside-if-it-breaks-through-this-pattern">comes ahead of</a> the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision on interest rates. Leading cryptocurrencies experienced a drop as investors anticipated the Fed&#8217;s decision with Bitcoin witnessing a volatile Friday, fluctuating between $85,000 and $82,000. This context adds to the pressure on Strategy&#8217;s Bitcoin holdings and underscores the need for a potential shift in its investment strategy.
Despite the downturn, Strategy&#8217;s co-founder Michael Saylor stays bullish on Bitcoin. In his latest speech at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, Saylor stated that the cryptocurrency is critical to the prosperity of the U.S. and the nation can become the global Bitcoin superpower.
In another post on X, Saylor said, &#8220;Bitcoin is an Orange Dwarf— the brightest object in the financial system— growing stronger, hotter, and denser as it attracts capital.&#8221;
Meanwhile, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez referred to $81,400 as a significant test for Bitcoin, stating that if the price stays above this level, its upward momentum will persist.
