According to CoinLedger CEO David Kemmerer, thousands of U.S. crypto investors have recently received warning letters from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), marking a significant escalation in the agency's efforts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cryptocurrency-tax-guide#:~:text=Since%20cryptocurrency%20is%20treated%20like,term%20capital%20gains%20tax%20rates.">enforce tax compliance in digital assets.</a>
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cryptocurrency-tax-guide#:~:text=Since%20cryptocurrency%20is%20treated%20like,term%20capital%20gains%20tax%20rates.">interview</a> with The Block, Kemmerer revealed that IRS letters targeting crypto investors have spiked 758% over the last two months, based on CoinLedger's internal tracking.
This surge comes ahead of the IRS's new 1099-DA reporting rules, set to take effect in January 2026. These regulations will require all crypto brokers to report both the gross proceeds and cost basis of digital asset sales, giving the IRS a far clearer picture of investor gains and losses.
Crypto investors may receive one of several IRS letter types, each indicating a different level of concern:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Letter 6174: Educational only — no action required.</li>
<li>Letter 6174-A: Indicates the IRS suspects underreporting — review and amend returns if necessary.</li>
<li>Letter 6173: More serious — IRS believes crypto income was underreported; a response is mandatory to avoid audit.</li>
<li>CP2000: Most severe — proposes additional tax due to income discrepancies; response required within 30 days.</li>
</ul>
Even compliant taxpayers can receive these notices due to cost basis errors, especially from wallet-to-wallet transfers, which are non-taxable but often misreported.

Why It Matters: Despite rumors that the administration may eliminate crypto taxes, no legislative change has occurred. 
Many investors wrongly assume they're not required to report crypto trades, leading to confusion, anxiety, and potential penalties.
CoinLedger emphasizes that most letter recipients are not tax evaders, but ordinary investors who may have made honest reporting mistakes—often from earlier bull cycles like 2021. On receiving the letter –
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>If compliant: Gather documentation like trade histories and 1099 forms to validate your return.</li>
<li>If non-compliant: Amend past returns using Form 1040X and consider including a written explanation.</li>
<li>If unsure or facing a serious letter (e.g., CP2000 or Letter 6173): Consult a tax professional immediately</li>
</ul>
In February, CoinLedger reported the average crypto investor gained $5,482 in 2024, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) leading unrealized profits. On the flip side, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and POL (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>) posted the largest losses.

These advancements by rivals underscore the intense competition among tech giants to develop custom AI processors, aiming to optimize performance and reduce reliance on external suppliers like Nvidia, thereby reducing costs.
In 2024, Microsoft reportedly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42547442/microsof-scoops-up-485000-nvidia-ai-chips-twice-as-many-as-its-closest-rival-meta-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">purchased close to</a> 485,000 Nvidia &#8220;Hopper&#8221; AI chips, beating Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), which procured 224,000&nbsp;chips.

You may not have noticed, but on Sunday, June 22, the world of cars changed forever. 
That was when regular consumers for the first time got to take a $4.20-ride around Austin, Texas, in driverless taxis, courtesy of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Elon Musk.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46045542/tesla-launches-robotaxi-in-austin-elon-musk-calls-it-a-culmination-of-a-decade-of-hard-work">robotaxi test</a> took place in a sectioned, geofenced area of Austin, with selected Tesla owners in the back seat, a Tesla employee on hand for emergencies in the front passenger seat, and no one physically behind the wheel.
By the end of the day, feedback began rolling in on social media, and it was overwhelmingly positive.
"We took two approximately 15-minute rides around Austin and the key takeaways are that it was a comfortable, safe, and personalized experience," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46049232/dan-ives-hails-very-impressive-robotaxi-ride-in-austin-predicts-55-upside-for-tesla-stock-as-golden-age-begins">noted</a> Dan Ives, a Wedbush analyst, in a research note released later in the day on June 22.  
"The robotaxis we experienced today were foundational, and there is a path for the future where these robotaxis may also have Grok integration, interior customization, and a much more user-centric focus as there&#8217;s no longer a need to focus on the driver experience," Ives added.
He&#8217;s not alone.
"Today transportation changed FOREVER!" said<a href="https://x.com/JoshWest247/status/1932618098777137590"> JoshWest247 on X</a>, after his test drive. "Robotaxi=FREEDOM!"
Amidst talk of the Tesla robotaxi adding $1 trillion in value to the company, plans are afoot to manage vehicle growth gradually, with 50 in operation by the fourth quarter of 2025 in Austin and 1,000-plus on the streets by year-end 2026. Tesla is also mapping out a California robotaxi expansion, targeting 2026, pending approval from the state. Over time, Tesla aims to replace Model Ys with its Cybercab robotaxi vehicle.
At first glance, the driverless future is golden, although there's plenty of highway miles ahead for industry leaders. At the very least, the Austin tests may serve as the launch point of a revolutionary new industry that changes everything we think we know about road transportation.
"Tesla's autonomous taxi test in Austin signals a very real shift toward mainstream adoption of robotaxis, not just a speculative future," said Kazimieras Urbonas, car analyst and supplier excellence manager at Ovoko, a technology-based auto parts company. "The major takeaway is that we're no longer just talking about autonomy, we're piloting it at scale. This shows growing maturity in Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) tech, which will inevitably pressure other automakers to speed up their timelines."
According to Urbonas, driverless transport will be one of the most transformative changes in mobility, comparable to the transition from combustion to electric power. "While rollout will vary by region due to infrastructure and legal constraints, the long-term implications for logistics, ride-hailing, and even public transport are enormous," he noted. "Think safer roads, lower costs, and new urban design models."
As the smoke cleared from the test date, Wall Street commenced buzzing over the trading prospects of autonomous vehicle makers and which companies may be left behind as history is made with the first driverless taxi rollout.

Which stocks will rock on as robotaxis get all too real, and which will go the way of horse and carriage after Henry Ford rolled up in a small, four-wheeled vehicle he called a Quadricycle on June 4, 1896? Here are a few candidates on both sides of the road.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winners</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla</h3>
Benzinga Quality Ranking: 83.17
The carmaker's share price only popped by 1.2% in the five days following the Austin robotaxi tests, but the moment may have established Tesla as the king of the driverless transport hill, for now at least. Tesla has a lot on the line with autonomous vehicles, which comprises about 59% of the company's price target, amounting to $181 per share or $800 billion in implied value, according to RBC Capital.
"If Tesla can iron out safety concerns and scale fast, they could dominate the driverless car industry," said John Ellmore, EV Fleet Editor at UK-based KnowYourBusiness.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet&nbsp;</h3>
Benzinga Quality Ranking: 86.66
Google's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo driverless taxi doesn't get the massive press that Tesla and Musk garner, but it's actually ahead of the curve on robotaxi testing. It's already up and running in four U.S. cities, with plans to roll out its autonomous vehicles in 17 more. It intends to launch commercially by 2026 or 2027. All told, Waymo is expected to account for 10% of the AV marketplace by the end of the decade.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia</h3>
Benzinga Growth Ranking: 98.61
Chipmaking giant Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) should benefit from the headway made by companies like TSLA and Waymo. "Nvidia's chips already power most autonomous driving systems," Urbonas said. "More driverless vehicles equal more demand."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Losers</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Uber</h3>
Benzinga Growth Ranking: 97.49
Uber's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) stock hasn't suffered from Tesla's wave of media coverage following its Austin testing weekend – it's up 8.36% this week alone. Analysts point to Uber's burgeoning relationship with Waymo and the fact that the company has entered into AV testing with Volkswagen and Pony AI.
Yet over the long haul, Uber doesn't seem to have a clear-cut path in competing with driverless taxis, which promise to be cheaper and more pervasive once Tesla and Waymo vehicles hit the open road.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lyft</h3>
Benzinga Growth Ranking: 56.43
San Francisco-based ride-sharing company Lyft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) has seen its shares rise to the mid-teens (it was trading at $15.46 on June 27). Its stock is up 19% year-to-date. The firm plans to roll out its own AV line in Dallas over the next few months, with plans to expand to Canada and Europe the following year.
Still, the math is working against Lyft. It's already behind Uber in the rideshare market by a 30%-to-70% ratio. The company will be hard-pressed to compete with industry heavyweights like Tesla, which is expected to reach a $1 trillion market share within the next five years.
"Traditional ride-hailing platforms like Uber and Lyft could see margin compression as autonomous fleets reduce human labor costs," Urbonas added.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional auto makers and auto parts companies</h3>
Legacy automakers without robust EV and autonomous vehicle pipelines could fall behind. 
"That's particularly the case with those companies reliant on fleet sales and dealer-driven models," Urbonas said. "Auto parts suppliers focused on mechanical components (e.g., internal combustion parts) could also struggle as electric-autonomous systems reduce part complexity and maintenance."
Traditional auto repair chains could also struggle, and they won't be alone.
"Fewer moving parts mean fewer breakdowns," said Luis Montes, a heavy-duty transport equipment expert and chief editor at Fortis HD.  "Fuel providers take a hit if the shift is electric-heavy. Public transport might also lose funding if private driverless fleets get political backing. Even parking real estate will lose relevance if cars start circulating instead of idling."

American Battery Technology To Be Added To Russell 2000 And Russell 3000 Indexes, Effective June 30, 2025

U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) is intensifying her scrutiny of GSK Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) over the company's decision to pull its widely used asthma inhaler, Flovent HFA, from the market.
One year after the discontinuation, Hassan launched a formal investigation into the move, raising alarms about patient access, skyrocketing costs, and the financial burden placed on Medicaid.
Flovent HFA had long been the most <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hassan.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-hassan-launches-investigation-into-gsk-on-impact-of-its-discontinuation-of-childrens-asthma-inhaler" rel="noreferrer noopener">prescribed</a> controller inhaler for young children with asthma. After it was removed from the market in January 2024, GSK partnered with Prasco Laboratories to distribute an authorized generic version.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45406673/gsk-to-buy-phase-3-ready-liver-disease-drug-for-up-to-2-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">GSK To Buy Phase-3 Ready Liver Disease Drug For Up To $2 Billion</a>
This rebranded product has been significantly more expensive for patients, allowing GSK to avoid an estimated $367.6 million in Medicaid rebates in 2024 alone. Instead, Medicaid spent over $550 million on the authorized generic in 2024.
In a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hassan.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2025-06-27%20Hassan%20to%20GSK%20-%20Copy_Redacted.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">letter</a> to the CEO, Emma Walmsley, Senator Hassan criticized the maneuver as a corporate strategy that prioritized profits over patients, stating that it threatened the lives of children and placed undue financial strain on families. "GSK's decision to allow a different company to sell the same product in a more expensive form has endangered children and fleeced taxpayers," she said.
Hassan <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hassan.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-hassan-presses-big-pharma-company-to-restore-access-to-low-cost-asthma-inhalers-for-children" rel="noreferrer noopener">urged</a> GSK to restore the original Flovent HFA and work with Prasco to reduce the cost of the generic version.
In her May 2024 letter, Hassan questioned why GSK discontinued Flovent HFA while keeping other brand-name inhalers on the market and capping their prices. GSK's response did not clarify this; instead, it shifted responsibility to Prasco for pricing decisions and formulary negotiations.
While GSK claimed the generic was priced 35% lower than branded Flovent, previous rebates on the original product had made it significantly more affordable. The absence of such rebates for the generic has led many insurers and pharmacy benefit managers to delay or deny coverage.
The consequences have been severe. Pediatric providers reported that Flovent HFA was the only inhaler compatible with spacer devices for infants and young children.
Its removal has limited treatment options, especially for patients with eosinophilic esophagitis or those who cannot tolerate alternatives. Meanwhile, other substitute inhalers, like Asmanex HFA and Alvesco, have faced shortages or limited insurance coverage throughout 2024.
A study published in October 2024 revealed a 17.5% increase in asthma-related hospitalizations in the three months after Flovent's removal, followed by a 24.1% increase over the next three to six months compared to previous years. ICU admissions showed similar spikes.
Beyond health outcomes, the financial impact has been substantial. A Johns Hopkins analysis found that Medicaid spent an estimated $551.8 million on the authorized generic in 2024 — nearly double what it might have spent under the original rebate structure. Even insured patients reported paying up to $150 per inhaler.
Senator Hassan's investigation aims to hold GSK accountable and prevent similar corporate tactics that bypass rebate obligations at the expense of public health.
Price Action: GSK stock is trading lower by 0.03% to $38.54 at the last check Friday

U.S. Director of Federal Housing FHFA Bill Pulte Posts On X "We are doing a full scale review of all credit bureaus.", On High Interest Rates Says "It's not just people's mortgages. It's car loans, credit cards, etc. These decisions have real impacts on real people."

U.S. President Donald Trump said Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is helping relieve pressure on the U.S. dollar, calling its increasing adoption "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46131815/trumps-crypto-advisor-david-sacks-says-july-will-be-a-big-month-says-president-supports-legislation-on-market-structure-and-stablecoins">a great thing for our country</a>."
Speaking about the evolving role of Bitcoin in the economy, Trump said that more people are using it for payments and that the digital asset has become an important part of the financial system.
"I noticed more and more you're paying Bitcoin," Trump said. "People are saying it takes a lot of pressure off the dollar. And it's a great thing for our country."
Trump clarified that he does not personally invest in Bitcoin, but said, "I have my kids and they invest in different things. They do believe in it." 
His comment aligns with the known fact that members of the Trump family have been publicly supportive of cryptocurrencies.
In particular, his son Eric Trump has emerged as a prominent advocate for Bitcoin. 
Eric has regularly spoken at crypto conferences and is involved in American Bitcoin, a company closely aligned with the Trump family that focuses on Bitcoin infrastructure and mining. 
Additionally, Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, linked to the former president, announced earlier this year that it planned to allocate billions of dollars toward Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy.

Trump emphasized that his role as president contributed to building an industry that has become strategically significant for the country. "What I did do there is build an industry that's very important," he said.
He also pointed out the geopolitical importance of the U.S. embracing crypto. "You know, we didn't have a [crypto] industry, China would," Trump said.
The Trump family has heavily invested in cryptocurrencies. 
Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, announced in May 2025 a $2.5 billion raise to create a &#8220;Bitcoin treasury.&#8221; 
The company, where Trump holds a 53% stake, aims to diversify its $700 million cash reserves into crypto assets, including exchange-traded funds like the proposed "Truth.fi Bitcoin Plus ETF." 
Additionally, American Bitcoin, a mining firm co-founded by Eric Trump and backed by Donald Trump Jr., merged with Gryphon Digital Mining to go public on Nasdaq in 2025. 
The family also holds a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial, which launched a stablecoin, USD1, and raised $550 million in token sales, including a $2 billion investment from an Abu Dhabi-based firm.
Trump's pro-crypto policies include an executive order signed in March 2025 to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Assets Stockpile, aiming to position the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the world." 
His administration has paused a dozen federal crypto probes and dropped lawsuits against crypto firms, reversing Biden-era regulations. 
However, these moves have sparked concerns about conflicts of interest, with critics like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accusing Trump of "crypto corruption" due to his family's financial stakes.

Donald Trump Says 'Bitcoin Takes A Lot Of Pressure Off The Dollar'

KTOS

Kratos Defense & Security shares are trading higher after Truist Securities raised its price target on the stock from $38 to $52.

Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTRY#NASDAQ">LTRY</a>, LTRYW))) ("Lottery.com" or "the Company"), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today confirmed that it is nearing legal proof of a coordinated and unlawful ‘short and distort' campaign targeting the Company. In collaboration with its legal counsel, Paul Hastings LLP, the Company is actively pursuing all individuals and entities engaged in market manipulation intended to damage the Company's share price and reputation.
Christopher Gooding, Independent Director of Lottery.com and a member of the Audit Committee with responsibility for legal affairs, issued the following statement:
"There is no doubt that there is an orchestrated campaign against Lottery. The trading metrics and forensic data we have access to clearly indicate both classic ‘short and distort' tactics, and more seriously, a significant volume of naked short selling — illegal trades not backed by actual share ownership.
"These actors fall into three categories:
<ul>
<li>"Aggressive and embittered insiders, who appear to be leveraging confidential or insider information from their historical relationships with Lottery.com for self-serving purposes. I outlined elements of these insiders to the judge in a Delaware action earlier this year;</li>
<li>"Professional short-sellers, aided and abetted by complicit brokers — some of whom are actively engineering mechanisms to facilitate, or are willfully ignoring, illegal naked short activity; and</li>
<li>"Opportunistic traders, influenced by blogs, shorting platforms, and "pay-to-publish" media articles that amplify false and defamatory narratives. These clearly represent the ‘distort' component of the campaign. Numerous cease-and-desist letters have already been issued. "Our message to these parties is unequivocal: We know who you are. We are rapidly securing irrefutable legal evidence of your involvement — including the brokers operating both in the U.S. and offshore in jurisdictions such as the Caribbean. We will pursue damages vigorously and refer the evidence to the appropriate regulatory authorities. "Your days are numbered. We will shut you down, and the financial penalties imposed will far exceed the unlawful profits you have sought to extract from our shareholders." &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Lottery.com reiterates its commitment to protecting shareholder value, market integrity, and the long-term growth of its global operations.
