Starting today, website owners can choose if they want AI crawlers to access their content, and decide how AI companies can use it. AI companies can also now clearly state their purpose – if their crawlers are used for training, inference, or search – to help website owners decide which crawlers to allow. Cloudflare's new default setting is the first step toward a more sustainable future for both content creators and AI innovators.
For decades, the Internet has operated on a simple exchange: search engines index content and direct users back to original websites, generating traffic and ad revenue for websites of all sizes. This cycle rewards creators that produce quality content with money and a following, while helping users discover new and relevant information. That model is now broken. AI crawlers collect content like text, articles, and images to generate answers, without sending visitors to the original source – depriving content creators of revenue, and the satisfaction of knowing someone is viewing their content. If the incentive to create original, quality content disappears, society ends up losing, and the future of the Internet is at risk.

The study achieved its primary endpoint as well as all key secondary endpoints. At Day 29, a single 12 mg dose of BPL-003 demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms, as measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), with a mean decrease of 11.1 points from baseline compared to a 5.8 point reduction in the 0.3 mg comparator group (p = 0.0038). For the key secondary efficacy endpoints, a single 8 mg dose of BPL-003 also showed significant improvement at Day 29, with a mean MADRS score reduction of 12.1 points (p=0.0025 for change vs. 0.3 mg control). Notably, both the 8mg and 12mg doses of BPL-003 showed statistically significant improvements in MADRS scores as early as one day after dosing, with effects generally maintained out to Week 8.
Safety and efficacy results from this study support the selection of the 8 mg dose of BPL-003 for advancement into Phase 3 clinical studies. atai and Beckley Psytech plan to engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other applicable agencies regarding the Phase 3 trial design for patients with treatment-resistant depression in the coming months.
With these positive Phase 2b results, the pre-agreed success criteria for the proposed strategic combination between atai and Beckley Psytech, which was <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Lt5j5BhiTtHS91OwzC43YoUVuGJaUtezdgq72Y5stYLZkHr4bb9o577WWVdJxus65y-bxktrE-m2HzVPBckcZGIo9XaRX-W5NvSz-VAyy2x2u4cfn9aY-9bPS0KD2JyxcmZZWJbpb4JuhEW5rVBliZZUWUU5eg5ihDS8sBwsqHvblHLEnC_9lIACrn6IvlSAylV04CEThCH-uPz_ccyGFx5oNBbVUDWGnlC6IVPw-EE=">announced in June 2025,</a> has been achieved and the strategic combination is now expected to progress to atai shareholder approval stage. The atai Beckley combination is expected to create a global leader in short time in-clinic psychedelic-based mental health therapies.
Cosmo Feilding Mellen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Beckley Psytech, said: "The achievement of our primary and secondary endpoints in this study represents an important milestone in the development of BPL-003 and reinforces its potential to be a viable treatment option for patients and healthcare systems. We are particularly encouraged that a single 8 mg or 12 mg dose of BPL-003 showed rapid and durable efficacy results, favourable tolerability and a short time in-clinic, giving us important flexibility in optimising the design of future trials. Thank you to all of the patients and study partners who participated in this study - we now look forward to preparing for end-of-Phase 2 meetings with regulators and moving forward with our strategic combination with atai Life Sciences to form atai Beckley, a global leader in psychedelic-based mental health treatments."
The Phase 2b clinical study was conducted at 38 sites across six countries and enrolled a total of 193 patients with moderate-to-severe TRD (defined as non-response to two or more prior treatments in the current depressive episode) (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=kSI-UnKZ0DWeSwYIsB0N090rWka30y2wA4jPYu0nejPg7OVIE6Y9-lDi86fU3j9pns2LTvJDSceDpY7US5Ca9x1v_eZEapoW8PDPBYTLRgoNJwv7P7HNhAmrRG2HXGOJcTrJfssR6lmmu6k1ezzAxw==">NCT05870540</a>). It is the largest controlled clinical study to investigate mebufotenin and the only blinded Phase 2b study of mebufotenin to include the United States. Patients were randomized to receive a single 12 mg (n=73), 8 mg (n=46), or 0.3 mg comparator (n=74) dose of BPL-003 and were followed for eight weeks with efficacy assessments conducted by centralised, blinded raters using the MADRS at Day 2, Day 8, Day 29 and Day 57.
Key efficacy findings:
<ul>
<li>A single 12 mg dose of BPL-003 led to a mean reduction in MADRS score from baseline of 11.1 points compared with 5.8 points in the 0.3 mg comparator arm (p=0.0038) at Day 29, with the 8 mg dose arm showing a mean MADRS reduction from baseline of 12.1 points versus the 0.3mg comparator arm (p=0.0025) at that same timepoint.</li>
<li>The 8 mg and 12 mg doses of BPL-003 demonstrated equivalent efficacy suggesting the 8 mg dose may be sufficient to achieve therapeutic benefit from a single dose.</li>
<li>The difference in MADRS scores between the 8 mg and 12 mg doses versus the 0.3 mg dose were statistically significant in both active arms from as early as Day 2, with mean MADRS reductions from baseline of 8.8 points in the 8 mg group and 8.9 points in the 12 mg group observed at that timepoint, compared to a reduction from baseline of 3.9 points in the 0.3 mg group. These mean reductions from baseline increased to 11.1 points in the 8 mg group and 10.8 points in the 12 mg group at Day 8.</li>
<li>A durable effect was also observed for both higher doses, with the 8 mg group showing a mean reduction of 10.8 points from baseline at Day 57 and the 12 mg group showing a mean reduction of 10.2 points from baseline compared with the 0.3 mg group (5.2 point reduction). These findings highlight the potential of BPL-003 to be a durable treatment for patients with TRD.</li>
</ul>
Key safety findings:
<ul>
<li>BPL-003 was generally well-tolerated at all doses. More than 99% of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate and there were no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs).</li>
<li>Dose related increases in administration site discomfort, nausea, headache, blood pressure and anxiety suggest the 8mg dose was better tolerated than the 12mg dose.</li>
<li>No participants in the 8 mg nor 12 mg arms had any instance of treatment-emergent suicidal intent or behaviour, indicating no suicide-related safety signal observed to date.</li>
<li>The average time to meet readiness for discharge criteria across all arms was within two hours of dosing, with the majority of patients deemed ready for discharge at the 90 minutes post-dose assessment. This, alongside the administration of BPL-003 via a previously approved nasal spray device, supports the potential of BPL-003 to fit within the existing interventional psychiatry treatment paradigm that has been successfully established by Spravato&#xAE;.</li>
<li>The study had a low drop-out rate with 90% of patients completing the core study.</li>
<li>These findings suggest a favourable tolerability profile which are consistent with earlier Phase 1 and Phase 2a studies of BPL-003, as well as other psychedelic studies within the class.</li>
</ul>
Additional data from the core study is expected to be shared through publications and medical meetings in the future.

US Stock Market Hits Record $63.8 Trillion, Doubling In 5 Years: Now Bigger Than Europe, China, Japan, India Combined

Two Chinese artificial intelligence chip startups, Moore Threads and MetaX, are planning to raise a combined 12 billion yuan ($1.65 billion) through initial public offerings (IPOs). 
What Happened: The two companies are betting on the U.S. export restrictions to boost the demand for their products in China, Reuters reported. 
Moore Threads, based in Beijing, aims to raise 8 billion yuan, while MetaX, based in Shanghai, is looking to raise 3.9 billion yuan. Both companies are planning to list on the STAR Market, the tech-focused board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange
These fundraising plans highlight the increasing efforts of Chinese chipmakers to capitalize on Beijing&#8217;s drive to develop domestic champions in graphics processing units (GPUs), which are crucial for AI development.

The U.S. has been tightening export restrictions on China, with the latest rules implemented in April banning the shipment of Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 chips, one of its most popular chips, to China. These restrictions have led to a sense of urgency in Beijing to develop domestic chip champions.
Both Moore Threads and MetaX have cited U.S. sanctions as a major risk to their development, but have also emphasized that the restrictions could create significant market opportunities. The two companies design GPUs to compete with Nvidia products and have reported significant losses over the last three years, largely attributed to heavy research and development spending.
Why It Matters: The move by Moore Threads and MetaX to go public amid U.S. export sanctions is part of a larger trend of Chinese companies seeking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44350873/nvidia-faces-new-ai-challenge-as-chinese-start-up-unveils-framework-to-cut-reliance-on-its-gpus">reduce their reliance</a> on foreign chipmakers. In May, Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and Tencent (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) began switching to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/05/45692725/alibaba-and-baidu-turn-to-chinese-ai-chips-as-us-sanctions-squeeze-nvidia-supply">homegrown chips</a> as U.S. export controls and a dwindling stockpile of Nvidia processors eroded their ambitions.

Nvidia's Chinese Rivals Look To Cash In On US Tech Ban: Moore Threads, MetaX Plot $1.65 Billion IPO

Investment advisor Ross Gerber criticized Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board members on Tuesday for remaining silent as President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on CEO Elon Musk and federal subsidies supporting his company.
What Happened: &#8220;Sadly true and it seems Elon is destined to find out who is more powerful. Not a peep from the Tesla BOD of this absurd attack on the President he enabled,&#8221; wrote Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management, on social media platform X.
Gerber&#8217;s comments followed Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46187311/trump-says-elon-musk-would-close-up-shop-and-head-back-home-to-south-africa-without-subsidies-no-more-rocket-launches-satellites-or-electric-car">Truth Social post claiming Musk</a> &#8220;may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far&#8221; and suggesting &#8220;without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.&#8221; 
Trump added that eliminating support would mean &#8220;no more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production,&#8221; while the country &#8220;would save a fortune.&#8221;
The president specifically recommended that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk previously headed, examine billions in subsidies flowing to his companies.

Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) declined 4.78% during Tuesday pre-market session after CEO Elon Musk reignited political comeback rumors following his criticism of President Donald Trump&#8216;s spending bill.
What Happened: Late Monday, Musk expressed his disapproval of the spending bill on social media platform X, stating, &#8220;If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.&#8221; He further criticized the existing political system, calling for alternative parties to give Americans a voice.
Musk&#8217;s criticism of the bill, which he claims&nbsp;would increase the U.S. debt&nbsp;ceiling by $5 trillion, extends to both Republicans and Democrats. He also warned politicians supporting the bill that they would lose their primaries next year.
President Trump responded to Musk&#8217;s criticism by suggesting that the Tesla CEO&#8217;s empire relies heavily on federal subsidies. He stated on Truth Social, &#8220;Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.&#8221;
Additionally, Tesla saw over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">60% plunge</a> in vehicle registrations in Denmark and Sweden during June, after witnessing strong sales in Norway.

Why It Matters: The spending bill and the proposed cuts have been criticized by experts and could impact Tesla and the broader automotive industry&#8217;s EV push, as it proposes axing the $7,500 federal EV credit on all new EVs sold in the U.S.
Meanwhile, investor Gary Black <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/46161226/gary-black-warns-tesla-q2-deliveries-will-disappoint-says-cheaper-models-could-cannibalize-sales-and-see-ideal-re-entry-22-below-current-levels">warned </a>that Tesla&#8217;s Q2 deliveries could fall short of estimates, potentially due to the political controversy surrounding the spending bill.
Furthermore, Tesla&#8217;s sales in Canada have reportedly dropped to nearly zero, as highlighted by researcher Troy Teslike.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">According to Teslike</a>, Tesla may start reporting GAAP losses from Q1 2026, possibly due to the political controversy and the proposed cuts in the spending bill.

Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, has announced that orders for NexusWave have exceeded 1,000-vessels. Following months of rigorous development and testing, the service has gained incredible momentum in its first six months on the market with global customers adopting NexusWave for their fleets. This milestone underscores the global shipping industry's strong appetite for a fully managed, high-speed, bonded connectivity service that combines the power of multiple networks with the convenience of a single provider.
Early adopters such as "K" Line, Anthony Veder, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Solvang, Sallaum Lines, Parlevliet &amp; van der Plas Group and others are already reaping the benefits of transforming their vessels into floating offices and homes.
Inmarsat's NexusWave brings together Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band, low-Earth orbit (LEO), coastal LTE, and resilient L-band services into a seamless, fully managed solution. Inmarsat's unique ‘network-bonding' technology is designed to allow connected applications to harness the aggregate speed and capacity of all available networks simultaneously rather than relying on one at a time.
Recent real-world tests have demonstrated NexusWave's exceptional performance, achieving download speeds of up to 340 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of up to 80 Mbps. Network availability on vessels has consistently exceeded 99.9%, and video call quality has remained virtually unaffected by the availability or performance of any single network. Inmarsat's solution dynamically adjusts traffic routing to maintain a seamless user experience, even in connectivity hotspots.
Users also benefit from unlimited data, global coverage, and secure-by-design infrastructure, providing complete ‘connected confidence'. For seafarers onboard it means they can enjoy a wide range of applications, including web browsing, streaming, gaming, video and voice calling, messaging, and social media access, providing a ‘home-like' connectivity experience while at sea.

S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices ("S&amp;P DJI"), the world's leading index provider, today announced its plans to collaborate with Centrifuge, a decentralized infrastructure provider specializing in real-world asset (RWA) integration, to enter the fund tokenization space by licensing the S&amp;P 500 Index. This initiative extends the reach of the S&amp;P 500 into onchain investment products and protocols.
&nbsp;
For 125 years and counting, S&amp;P DJI's indices have provided a liquid foundation for increased adoption of index-based investing around the world. By licensing&nbsp;Centrifuge to provide exposure and bring the S&amp;P 500 Index onchain, a blockchain-native investment vehicle will for the first time be built, governed, and accessed directly through Centrifuge's RWA infrastructure, rather than via traditional brokerages. Anemoy Capital, a web3 native asset manager powered by Centrifuge, has been licensed by S&amp;P DJI along with Janus Henderson, a leading global asset manager, as the sub-advisor for the fund, to offer the Janus Henderson Anemoy S&amp;P 500 Index Fund Segregated Portfolio, which is planned to launch later this year subject to regulatory approval.

Nikita Bier's persistence has paid off — the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40482965/angel-investor-nikita-bier-once-displayed-a-giant-painting-of-tim-cook-overlooking-facebook-ceo-mark">entrepreneur behind</a> Gas and tbh is now the new head of product at X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.
What Happened: On Monday, Bier announced on X that he's officially taking the reins as head of product. "Ladies and gentlemen, I&#8217;ve officially posted my way to the top: I&#8217;m joining @X as Head of Product," Bier wrote.

Bier's journey has been a lesson in tenacity. In 2022, after Elon Musk expressed interest in acquiring Twitter, Bier pitched himself directly to Musk, posting, "@elonmusk Hire me to run Twitter as VP of Product."

Why It's Important: Bier's appointment signals Musk's ongoing push to transform X into a broader everything app. With a track record of creating viral social experiences — tbh was acquired by Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in 2017 and Gas by Discord in 2023 — Bier could help X reinvent itself.
He also teased plans to leverage Grok, X's AI assistant, to deliver "hyper-relevant timelines" and help users better understand what's happening on the platform.
Musk acquired Twitter for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44404525/elon-musk-paid-high-price-for-twitter-but-after-years-of-declining-value-x-is-once-again-wor">$44 billion in October 2022</a> and later rebranded it as X, aiming to turn it into an "everything app" as part of his larger vision. In March 2025, Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, took over his social media platform through an all-stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44549314/elon-musk-acquires-his-own-social-media-platform-x-through-xai-in-33-billion-deal-says-combined-entity-now-worth-80-billion">deal worth $33 billion</a>.
