Cathie Wood's $15M Crypto Bet: Sells Bitcoin King Block, Doubles Down On Ethereum Giant Bitmine Immersion

Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) is piloting a long-requested safety feature that allows women riders to request female drivers — and vice versa — for the first time in the U.S., the company <a href="https://www.uber.com/newsroom/women-preferences/">announced</a> on Wednesday.
The feature, called ‘Women Preferences,' will debut in Detroit, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in the coming weeks. First introduced in Saudi Arabia in 2019, the option has already expanded to 40 countries, including India, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How the Matching Works</h2>
Once enabled, the setting allows female riders to see a ‘women drivers' option when hailing a ride. Uber said the setting increases the likelihood of being matched with a female driver, although matches aren't guaranteed.
On the driver's side, female drivers can select ‘women rider preference,' allowing them to receive trip requests only from women. The setting is flexible and can be toggled off or on anytime. More than 100 million rides have been completed using the service globally, according to the company.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Push for Safety and Inclusion</h2>
The launch comes amid ongoing pressure on ride-hailing platforms to improve safety for both passengers and drivers.

According to Uber's latest U.S. safety <a href="https://uber.app.box.com/s/lea3xzb70bp2wxe3k3dgk2ghcyr687x3?uclick_id=46d3f8fb-cc10-450b-ba9e-c60261262b20">report</a>, there were 36 physical assault fatalities and 2,717 reported sexual assaults across 1.8 billion trips during 2021 and 2022. While these incidents account for a small fraction of all trips, those incidents — combined with ongoing concerns about physical assault — have pushed Uber to expand its suite of safety features in recent years, including audio/video recording and verified rider badges.
Sexual assault reports have declined significantly since Uber began publishing data in 2017. From 2017 to 2018, there were 5,981 reports of sexual assault. That number dropped to 2,717 between 2021 and 2022.
Uber and rival Lyft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) have struggled to increase the number of female drivers on their platforms. About 20% of Uber drivers in the U.S. are women, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/driving-uber-lyft-women-drivers-how-make-money-gig-economy-2023-12">according</a> to data provided by the company to Business Insider. The new feature could help close that gap by giving drivers more control over whom they pick up — a step that may help attract more women to the platform.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Industry Shift</h2>
While Uber was the first to launch the feature globally, Lyft beat it to the U.S. market with its ‘Women+ Connect' tool, <a href="https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/women-plus-connect">introduced</a> in 2023, a feature allowing women and nonbinary drivers and riders to prioritize matches with one another. Unlike Uber's version, Lyft doesn't guarantee these matches but prioritizes them when possible. Still, the company <a href="https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/lyfts-popular-women-connect-feature-is-now-available-nationwide">said</a> 67% of eligible drivers have opted into the feature.&nbsp;
Across the US, women riders and drivers have told us they want the option to be matched with other women on trips. We've heard them—and now we're introducing new ways to give them even more control over how they ride and drive," Uber Vice President of Operations Camiel Irving said in a statement.
If the pilot sees high adoption, Uber said it may expand the feature nationally.

$1000 Invested In Vertiv Holdings 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A woman from Tampa, Florida, called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH3RACSxFAk">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; recently, looking for help with a family dispute that turned legal, bitter and deeply personal. Jamie explained that her mother-in-law, who lives just feet away in a tiny house built on their property, has threatened to sue her.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Decade-Long Tension Over A Gifted Property</h2>
In 2006, Jamie and her husband were gifted a piece of land by his parents. &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t afford to build on it at the time, so we saved and ended up building our house in 2012,&#8221; she said. Not long after, the in-laws asked if they could build a small home on the back of the same lot, having moved from upstate New York and struggling to keep up with their home and health needs.

</ul>
Jamie and her husband agreed. Her in-laws <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45210590/59-year-old-sold-her-518k-house-to-pay-off-debt-but-dave-ramsey-warns-shes-now-facing-a-major-problem-heading-into-retirement-without-a-home">sold their house</a> up north and used the proceeds to build a 900-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bathroom accessory dwelling on the back acre. However, things went south fast when the family realized the new home was technically built on land Jamie and her husband owned outright.
&#8220;We kind of all realized at the same time that technically they did not own it,&#8221; she told Dave Ramsey. It caused a huge fight.
From there, it spiraled. For the last 10 years, the family has argued over who owns what. Jamie's father-in-law passed away three years ago, and since then, her mother-in-law has only grown more hostile.
&#8220;In January, there was a huge fight where she accused us of doing this on purpose for the sole purpose of taking her home. In essence, taking her money,&#8221; Jamie said. &#8220;She said, &#8216;You could take me out at any time.'&#8221;

The mother-in-law, now 80 and still in good health, has not spoken to the couple since. She recently had an attorney send Jamie a letter accusing them of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46261134/the-781b-time-bomb-how-families-are-losing-fortunes-by-delaying-elder-disability-planning">elder exploitation</a> and demanding a lump-sum payment of $180,000.
Ramsey, stunned, asked, &#8220;She's not only not speaking to you — she's in your back window?&#8221;
&#8220;Oh yeah,&#8221; Jamie replied. &#8220;Eight feet away.&#8221;
Ramsey called the situation &#8220;bizarre&#8221; and said, &#8220;She's lost her marbles. And we can't find them. They're somewhere in the backyard near a tiny house.&#8221;
When Jamie mentioned she was considering paying out of guilt, Ramsey shut that idea down: &#8220;Morally, giving her anything? No. You didn't do anything wrong.&#8221;
He advised her to hire an attorney and tie the case up in court as long as needed. &#8220;Give somebody 10 grand and keep her tied up till she dies,&#8221; he said bluntly. &#8220;That's really all you can do here.&#8221;
The legal advice Jamie already received backed this up. As one lawyer told her, any value her mother-in-law added to the property has been offset by her living in it for a decade.
Ramsey concluded with a warning for listeners: &#8220;For the rest of you listening, don't do this. Ever.&#8221;

Trading platform company Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) could highlight the growth of customers and cryptocurrency trading volume when the company reports second-quarter financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close Wednesday</a>.
HOOD stock: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Track it now here.</a>
Here are the earnings estimates and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Robinhood to report second-quarter revenue of $899 million, up from $682 million in last year's second quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0729">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters and seven of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Robinhood to report second-quarter earnings per share of 30 cents, up from 21 cents per share in last year's second quarter.

Key Items to Watch: Analysts have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD/analyst-ratings">raising their price targets</a> for Robinhood stock ahead of the quarterly results.
The company has been reporting strong monthly figures in recent reports. In the May <a href="https://investors.robinhood.com/news-releases/news-release-details/robinhood-markets-inc-reports-may-2025-operating-data">update</a>, the company reported that crypto trading volume was $8.6 billion in April and $11.7 billion in May. Compare that to $7.1 billion in May of the previous year and you can see how strong this quarter's crypto revenue may be.
Robinhood's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45118133/robinhood-q1-earnings-highlights-record-trading-volumes-transaction-based-revenues-up-77-gold-subscribers-up-90">first-quarter </a>cryptocurrency revenue was up 100% year-over-year. With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) hitting all-time highs in the quarter and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gaining momentum, it's quite possible that Robinhood reports a great figure for crypto trading volume and crypto-related revenue.
Also, keep in mind that Robinhood closed its acquisition of Bitstamp on June 2, which means part of those operations will hit the quarterly results for the first time. Bitstamp has over 500,000 funded accounts.
The latest report also showed that Robinhood's funded customers were 25.9 million at the end of May. That would be up from 25.8 million at the end of the first quarter. Total platform assets were up 89% year-over-year in May at $255 billion.
Robinhood stock is already up over 100% year-to-date so expectations are likely high for the quarterly results and guidance. The recent report indicates that all company metrics are seeing growth, including customer accounts, assets and trading volume.
Other key areas investors will be watching include momentum for the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44825414/robinhood-ceo-brushes-off-concerns-prediction-markets-are-gambling-they-have-societal-value-across-all-categories"> prediction markets</a> and its Robinhood Gold memberships and cards.
HOOD Price Action: Robinhood stock closed down 3.23% to $103.32 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $13.98 to $113.44. Robinhood stock is up more than 162% year-to-date in 2025.

U.S. President Donald Trump inaugurated a new golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, on Tuesday ahead of the inaugural Nexo Championship, set to take place from August 7–10.
The event signals a growing intersection between traditional sports and digital finance, with crypto lender Nexo backing the tournament.
The launch ceremony at Trump International Golf Links featured Nexo co-founders Antoni Trenchev and Kosta Kantchev, alongside Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, several business and sports leaders.
The Nexo Championship will be the latest addition to the DP World Tour calendar, expanding the platform's presence in elite international golf.
The collaboration comes as Nexo seeks to re-enter the U.S. market, following Donald Trump Jr.'s April 2025 visit to Bulgaria, where Nexo hosted discussions about its return and growth strategy. Nexo had exited the U.S. market in December 2022 due to regulatory issues.

With this event, Nexo becomes an official partner of six golf tournaments in 2025, including the Genesis Scottish Open, BMW PGA Championship and the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
Its sponsorship of the Nexo Championship is part of a broader strategy to align crypto finance with mainstream global institutions.
In statements shared at the event, Trenchev emphasized the shared vision between the company and Trump on the role of innovation and crypto in the evolving U.S. economy. 
While details of Nexo's U.S. market activities remain limited, the company has recently sharpened its focus on building partnerships in regulated environments.
Scotland, which generates over $400 million annually from golf tourism, is expected to benefit from the new course and expanded events season. 
Local officials say the Nexo Championship could help extend the tourism calendar and attract international attention to the region.
The $11 billion crypto wealth platform is also leveraging its involvement in global golf to promote adoption of its digital finance products, which include crypto-backed loans, high-yield savings, and trading tools.

When Shaquille O'Neal leaves the house, he doesn't just pick up groceries or grab a bite — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41459672/whenever-i-leave-the-house-i-just-try-to-do-a-good-deed-how-shaq-once-randomly-paid-for-someones">he makes someone's day</a>, if not their entire year. That was exactly the case in 2022, when the NBA legend met a Texas family with 11 kids and decided to change their lives in a matter of hours.
It started with dinner. Shaq surprised the Collins family, a couple and their 11 children, with an evening out at Babe's Chicken Dinner House. The next day? He casually took them to a Mercedes-Benz dealership and bought them a brand-new van — custom ordered to fit their growing crew after learning they had outgrown their 12-seater and the A/C was failing.
And that still wasn't the end of it.

Then, when he learned their waitress was having car trouble, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45589413/shaquille-o-neal-says-a-young-waitress-once-asked-him-for-a-4000-tip-to-pay-her-rent-for-two-months-and-he-said-ok-no-problem">he tipped her $1,000</a> on the spot.
In her heartfelt Instagram post, Collins described the surreal series of events:
"Last night we had a surprise visit from Shaq. He took us to dinner as a family… Today, he took us to the Mercedes dealership to get a new family van… Then to dinner again, tipped our waitress $1,000 after her car broke down, and bought us another truck after seeing the state of my husband's."
That truck? Yes — when Shaq saw the father's vehicle had no air conditioning or heat, he brought them to a Ford dealership and bought a second car.
All in a day.

While Shaq's wealth and fame are impossible to miss, it's his habit of helping quietly that continues to define him. The 7'1" Hall of Famer has long said he tries to "do a good deed every time I leave the house." And in a <a href="https://youtu.be/IQSts2bWRFA?si=_zOhgpr2J_kB8DPP">2021 interview with "Entertainment Tonight," </a>he summed up his approach in just a few words: "I'm into making people happy."
He meant it. During that same interview, Shaq made it clear that he doesn't do it for attention. "I'm not doing it for the cameras," he said. "People just happen to record it." He rarely shares the moments himself—like with the Collins family. That story only surfaced because they posted it. He's especially moved by parents doing their best and has a soft spot for large families and moms in need.
Those values run deep. In a 2021 <a href="https://people.com/sports/shaquille-oneal-on-his-love-for-helping-others-in-need/">People magazine interview</a>, Shaq credited his giving spirit to his parents, who raised him with little but expected him to give a lot. He remembered his father handing their last bag of burgers to a homeless man and telling him, "If you ever make it big time, make sure you help those in need."&nbsp;

To this day, Shaq doesn't see it as charity or grand gestures—just doing what's right. "If I'm somewhere and see somebody's needing something, I'll take care of it," he said.&nbsp;
Over the years, he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43077262/nba-legend-shaq-spotted-a-young-man-buying-an-engagement-ring-in-zales-when-he-swooped-in-and-paid-for-it-tell-your-girlfriend-i-got-it">bought an engagement ring for a stranger</a>, covered bills for moms at furniture stores, and handed out game consoles to kids during the holidays.
But for the Collins family, his generosity hit home in the deepest way.
"We were outgrowing our 12-passenger van," Collins wrote. "The A/C didn't always work. I have no words… Somebody wake me up because I must be dreaming."
In a world where headlines often highlight chaos, Shaq's quiet mission to make people smile — one dinner, one van, one generous tip at a time — is the kind of story that reminds us what good can look like.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Quanta Services Stock In The Last 20 Years

Naoris Protocol will conduct its Token Generation Event (TGE) for $NAORIS on July 31, the company announced Tuesday. 
The launch marks a major step in the deployment of Naoris' decentralized cybersecurity and blockchain infrastructure, designed to address both quantum and traditional threats across Web2 and Web3 systems.
At launch, the initial circulating supply of $NAORIS will be 599.26 million tokens, with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $500 million. 
The token will be available for spot trading immediately after the TGE.
The $NAORIS token functions as the core utility asset of Naoris Protocol, enabling decentralized security services, governance, and economic incentives within the network. 
It supports the protocol's architecture by powering autonomous trust validation mechanisms across devices and blockchains, forming what Naoris describes as a Sub-Zero Layer beneath traditional Layer 0–2 blockchain infrastructure.
Naoris Protocol recently closed a $3 million strategic funding round led by Mason Labs, with backing from Frekaz Group, Level One Robotics and Tradecraft Capital.

The protocol's system is designed to integrate with existing EVM-compatible chains without requiring network changes, and it claims alignment with post-quantum standards set by NIST, NATO and ETSI.
The network&#8217;s key features include quantum-secure transaction validation, device-to-device trust proofs, and decentralized cybersecurity for traditional infrastructure. 
Since launching its testnet in January, Naoris has processed 98 million post-quantum transactions, onboarded more than 3.3 million wallets and mitigated 463 million cyber threats, according to data shared by the company.
CEO and founder David Carvalho emphasized that post-quantum resilience must be embedded into infrastructure directly, not added retroactively.
He framed the TGE as a step toward delivering long-term cyber-resilient systems.
The Naoris team includes high-profile advisors such as David Holtzman (former CTO, IBM), Ahmed Réda Chami (Ambassador of Morocco to the EU), Mick Mulvaney (former U.S. White House Chief of Staff) and Inge Kampenes (retired Norwegian Major General).
