Bondex, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43946285/ai-market-growth-this-niche-will-expand-44-by-2030-while-web3-ai-skyrockets-89-7">Web3-based professional</a> networking platform, has surpassed 5 million downloads across iOS and Android since its official app launch in mid-2023, the company announced on Wednesday.
Launched in May 2022, the platform aims to offer an alternative to traditional professional networking services by integrating blockchain technology for identity verification, data privacy, and referral-based hiring. 
Bondex's latest figures come amid broader interest in decentralized applications for career-building and talent acquisition.
The company said over 2 million users have completed their profiles on the app, and 400,000 are active on a monthly basis. 
Its growth follows a $10 million funding round in 2023 backed by investors including Animoca Brands and Morningstar, which Bondex said would be used to scale its user base.
"Professional platforms today face challenges around spam, bots, and trust. We built Bondex to prioritize authenticity and verifiable identities," said Ignacio Palomera, co-founder and CEO of Bondex.

The platform also features a recruitment model where users can earn up to $20,000 for successful referrals, part of what Bondex describes as a decentralized approach to sourcing and matching talent. 
According to the company, firms such as Blockchain.com, Solana, Binance Recruitment, and CoinMarketCap are currently using the platform to engage with candidates in the Web3 space.
Bondex positions itself as an alternative to resume-driven hiring by offering a digital identity that can reflect professional reputation and activity on-chain. 
The company says its tools are designed to give users greater control over their data, while helping hiring partners avoid intermediaries.
While the company highlights rapid growth and adoption, it remains to be seen whether decentralized hiring tools like Bondex can scale to broader job markets beyond the Web3 ecosystem.

Shares of travel and tourism-related companies are trading lower amid heavy selling pressure as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs.

The U.S. auto industry just took a direct hit from what Wedbush analyst Dan Ives calls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">a "tariff torpedo."</a> 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump</a>'s sweeping 25% tariffs on imported cars and auto parts threaten to send vehicle prices soaring and disrupt supply chains for years to come.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Black Swan Event For Automakers</h2>
Tariffs present a "debacle of epic proportions," Ives says. Expect demand destruction of 15% to 20% for new car purchases in 2025.
According to his estimates, the tariffs will immediately raise the price of a typical vehicle by $5,000 to $10,000, with some higher-end models seeing increases of up to $15,000.
Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) has already signaled price hikes after April 1. Ives warns that "every automaker in the world will have to raise prices in some form" as the industry scrambles to absorb the shock.
Even U.S. manufacturers, who produce cars domestically, still rely on 40%-50% of parts sourced from abroad. The idea of an all-American-made car, Ives argues, is "a fairy tale fictional narrative."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Supply Chain Nightmare</h2>
With global automakers locked into supplier contracts years in advance, the ripple effects of the tariffs could be catastrophic. 
"The rules of the U.S. tariff game are untenable," Ives says. Shifting just 10% of the supply chain to the U.S. would take at least three years and cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
The impact? &#8220;Pure chaos" across the industry, with costs expected to balloon by $100 billion annually and get passed directly onto consumers.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), often seen as an exception due to its U.S.-based production, isn't immune either. Despite its domestic footprint, Ives warns that even Elon Musk's EV giant "will be forced to raise prices" under the new tariff regime.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Winners In This Trade War</h2>
"This 25% auto tariff number is hard to digest," Ives laments, predicting continued downward pressure on General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and global auto suppliers unless negotiations soften the blow. "The winner in our view from this tariff is NO ONE."
As automakers and consumers brace for impact, the industry finds itself in "pure panic mode," facing a stark reality: higher prices, shrinking demand, and what Ives describes as nothing short of "Armageddon" for the global auto market.
