Bitcoin Hits Fresh All-Time High, Ethereum Rallies: 'Altseason Hasn't Even Begun,' Trader Says

Editors Note: This story has been updated to include a response from a Rocket Lab USA spokesperson and to correct the spelling of the company&#8217;s name in the headline. 
The social media account of&nbsp;Peter Beck, CEO of&nbsp;Rocket Lab USA Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>), was hacked, leading to a fraudulent post about a new crypto-based token.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the unauthorized post from Beck&#8217;s X, formerly Twitter account, promoted a new Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based token to fund space-related projects, reported Reuters.

A major player in the small satellite launch market valued at $6.5 billion, Rocket Lab was working with the platform to regain control of the account.&nbsp;
&#8220;Peter&#8217;s account has been compromised,&nbsp;so this is not an&nbsp;official tweet. We are working&nbsp;with X to restore it,&#8221;&nbsp;a company spokesperson confirmed in an email to Reuters.
Rocket Lab responded to Benzinga&#8217;s email updating about the account&#8217;s restoration. The company&#8217;s CEO also took to X, to share this information.

Despite claiming over 100,000 lives annually, the U.S. overdose crisis received minimal attention during the recent presidential campaign, which concluded with Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41776510/cannabis-industry-leaders-react-to-trump-victory-expect-changes">victory</a>. This oversight comes as overdose deaths continue to rise among Black and Indigenous Americans, revealing a growing racial disparity in the epidemic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Racial Disparities In Overdose Deaths</h3>
According to a Stateline analysis of federal data <a href="https://kentuckylantern.com/2024/11/04/overdose-deaths-are-rising-among-black-and-indigenous-americans/">covered</a> by Tim Henderson, overdose deaths among white Americans have declined, but deaths among people of color have increased. In 2023, Black and Native Americans experienced overdose death rates of 49.5 and 39.8 per 100,000 people, respectively, surpassing white rates. Health experts attribute this to a lack of targeted resources and funding in nonwhite communities.

</ul>
&#8220;It is our contention that Black harm reduction isn't about drug use, it's about the harms of not being a white person in this country,&#8221; said Tracie Gardner, co-director of the National Black Harm Reduction Network. Communities of color often struggle to access harm reduction services, which are predominantly designed and led by white institutions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Minimal Campaign Attention</h3>
Throughout the campaign, Trump and his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41299527/kamala-harris-defends-immigration-policy-at-latino-town-hall-criticizes-trumps-border-stance">focused largely on border security and drug enforcement</a> rather than harm reduction strategies.&nbsp;
As a recent Fitler Mag <a href="https://filtermag.org/overdose-presidential-election/">article</a> notes, Trump&#8217;s official platform emphasized escalating the drug war, proposing measures like deploying the U.S. Navy to impose a &#8220;full Fentanyl Blockade&#8221; and cracking down on cartels. Harris, while mentioning a commitment to ending the opioid epidemic, highlighted her background in prosecutions and supported increased border security measures.
Public health experts criticize this approach for failing to address the root causes of the crisis. Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, noted that efforts have &#8220;ultimately fallen short of the scale and magnitude this crisis demands.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Demand For Narcan</h3>
Amid this policy void, demand for naloxone—commonly known by the brand name Narcan—is increasing sharply. Over 250 companies, universities and organizations have pledged to provide free doses of the overdose-reversing medication, <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/10/08/nx-s1-5145832/250-companies-schools-and-organizations-pledge-to-provide-overdose-antidote-naloxone">according</a> to NPR. Major corporations like Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), United Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and the National Hockey League are participating in this national effort to curb fatalities.
White House officials noted that the wider availability of naloxone has contributed to a recent 10% decline in overall overdose deaths. &#8220;From airlines to classrooms, from offices to sports arenas, we are grateful to have hundreds of voluntary commitments from organizations and businesses across the country,&#8221; stated Dr. Rahul Gupta, the Biden administration&#8217;s drug czar, prior to the election.
However, experts caution that fatalities remain high, especially among marginalized communities.
