U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China are rattling markets and stirring sharp reactions from economists. The measures, which include a 25% duty on most Canadian and Mexican goods and a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, have heightened concerns over supply chain disruptions and increased costs for American businesses and consumers.
What Happened: Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, highlighted market reactions on social media platform X. "Same outcome for Canada in terms of both the 30-day ‘pause' and the currency retracement," El-Erian wrote on Monday. 
His analysis, supported by a currency chart, showed the Canadian Dollar trading at 1.4421—a minor decline from previous levels following a volatile spike to 1.4791 on Monday. The chart's clear peak and subsequent correction suggest heightened market activity amid tariff-related news.
El-Erian's commentary extended to the Mexican Peso, which exhibited a dramatic surge to 21.2879 before retreating to 20.6045 over three days. The rapid fluctuations were observed on a chart amid news of a temporary tariff pause.

The pause comes after a call between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who confirmed on X that Mexico would deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border as part of a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43440692/us-mexico-agrees-on-one-month-tariffs-pause-stocks-rebound-peso-rallies">broader security and trade pact</a>.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers noted Canada&#8217;s importance as a trade partner. &#8220;Canada is our friend. Canada is an important market for American products. Canada is a crucial co-producer with American automobile companies that enable North America to compete with Asia and Europe,&#8221; he wrote, directly challenging the tariff approach.

Economist Justin Wolfers highlighted a post from former National Economic Council member Brendan Duke while using a &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; metaphor to analyze trade tensions. 
Wolfers argued that transactional diplomacy alienates economic partners, echoing Duke's point that "the main accomplishment of Trump's fake almost trade war is that no business is going to make a huge capital investment assuming tariff-free North American trade, even after the USMCA renegotiation."

Mohamed El-Erian Flags Market Jitters As Trump Tariff Pause On Canada Triggers Currency Swings — Larry Summers Warns Of Trade Fallout

Palantir Technologies Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) chief technology officer Shyam Sankar warned that the U.S. is in an "AI arms race" with China, calling for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420511/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-sounds-alarm-on-chinas-deepseek-could-this-threaten-palantirs-ai-dominance">urgent action</a> to maintain dominance as the race for artificial intelligence escalates.
What Happened: During Palantir's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, Sankar responded to a question about the impact of China's DeepSeek AI model on Palantir.&nbsp;
&#8220;One of the obvious lessons of DeepSeekR1 is something that we&#8217;ve been saying for the last two years, which is that the models are commoditizing,&#8221; Sankar said, underscoring that both closed and open-source AI models are becoming increasingly similar while inference costs are plummeting.

However, he argued that the bigger concern is not <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43379565/deepseeks-ai-model-shook-wall-street-but-a-new-report-says-chinese-state-accounts-helped-fan-the-flames">just AI competition</a>, but an all-encompassing economic, diplomatic, and technological war with China.
&#8220;We are at war with China. We are in an AI arms race,&#8221; Sankar declared, noting that he had disagreed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at the Senate AI Summit over whether cooperation with China in AI development was viable.
He said now that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43354099/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-secu">OpenAI is accusing China</a> of stealing U.S. AI intellectual property, it should erase any illusions about a collaborative approach. &#8220;We have to wake up with the respect for our adversary and realize that we are competing.&#8221;
Sankar stated that the AI race is a &#8220;winner-take-all&#8221; competition, requiring a nationwide effort. &#8220;M day was yesterday,&#8221; he warned, stressing that the time to mobilize is now.

Why It Matters: Palantir posted fourth-quarter revenue of $827.52 million, surpassing the $775.91 million estimate. For the next quarter, it projects revenue between $858 million and $862 million, above the $799.35 million forecast.
Full-year 2025 revenue is expected to range from $3.74 billion to $3.76 billion, exceeding the $3.52 billion estimate.
Last month, DeepSeek&#8217;s AI model stirred significant attention on Wall Street, with Chinese state-affiliated accounts <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43379565/deepseeks-ai-model-shook-wall-street-but-a-new-report-says-chinese-state-accounts-helped-fan-the-flames">reportedly amplifying</a> its launch. The U.S. is also investigating DeepSeek&#8217;s access to advanced Nvidia Corp's semiconductors, potentially violating an <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43390988/deepseek-and-nvidia-under-us-investigation-ai-market-shakeup-wipes-out-1-trillion-in-tech-value">AI technology embargo</a>.
Price Movement: Palantir&#8217;s shares jumped 22.75% in after-hours trading to $102.79. Earlier on Monday, the stock closed at $83.74, up 1.52%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Coinbase Says It's Become UK's Largest Crypto Exchange After Securing Regulatory Approval

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) roared back into momentum on Monday, as investors welcomed President Donald Trump's temporary relief on tariffs.&nbsp;
What happened: XRP rallied as much as 20%, recouping losses taken on ‘Black Sunday,' which saw the third-largest cryptocurrency by market value fall to two-week lows.
In fact, XRP was the most successful large-cap cryptocurrency over the last 24 hours, outgaining Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>).

Why It Matters: Several of XRP's technical indicators painted a bullish scenario.
The Momentum indicator, which compares the short-term price and long-term price, flashed a "buy" signal, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/XRPUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.&nbsp;
Similarly, the Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, tilted in favor of the bulls.
More than 71% of XRP futures traders had long exposure to the cryptocurrency, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass, indicating expectations of further upsides.
Meanwhile, Polymarket <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/ripple-etf-approved-in-2025">odds </a>that an XRP exchange-traded fund would get greenlighted in 2025 were at 80% as of this writing, following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43351797/grayscale-seeks-sec-approval-to-convert-xrp-trust-into-exchange-traded-fund">filings</a> by Grayscale, CoinShares, and Bitwise.
Price Action: At the time of writing, XRP was exchanging hands at $2.70, up 20.81% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

XRP Erases 'Black Sunday' Losses With 20% Surge As Jack Dorsey Posts Intriguing Video Featuring Bitcoin Bull Michael Saylor

On Monday, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) advised its clients to avoid using AI models from Chinese startup DeepSeek.
What Happened: Palantir&#8217;s chief revenue officer, Ryan Taylor, stated, &#8220;We would strongly discourage it [DeepSeek] and don&#8217;t think any customer in the U.S. government will be able to use it,&#8221; reported Reuters.
However, despite these concerns, Palantir will not sever ties with commercial clients who choose to use DeepSeek&#8217;s AI models, Taylor added.

Federal agencies, such as NASA, have reportedly banned the use of DeepSeek&#8217;s technology by their employees.
Palantir reported <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $827.52 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $775.91 million.

Why It Matters: Palantir CEO Alex Karp has previously highlighted the competitive threat posed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420511/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-sounds-alarm-on-chinas-deepseek-could-this-threaten-palantirs-ai-dominance">DeepSeek&#8217;s open-source AI model</a>, which offers lower development costs.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293506/chinas-deepseek-under-white-house-scrutiny-over-potential-national-security-risks">White House</a> has also placed DeepSeek under scrutiny, with the National Security Council reviewing its implications. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the situation as a &#8220;wake-up call to the American AI industry.&#8221;
A report by online analysis firm Graphika revealed that Chinese state-affiliated social media accounts <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43379565/deepseeks-ai-model-shook-wall-street-but-a-new-report-says-chinese-state-accounts-helped-fan-the-flames">promoted DeepSeek&#8217;s AI models</a>, contributing to a significant downturn in U.S. tech stocks.
Price Action: Palantir's shares surged 22.75% in after-hours trading, hitting $102.79. Earlier on Monday, the stock closed at $83.74, reflecting a 1.52% gain, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Palantir Sounds Alarm On China's DeepSeek, Citing National Security Threat — But Won't Drop Clients Who Use It

On Monday, a federal appeals court in San Francisco showed skepticism toward Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) efforts to overturn a jury verdict in favor of Fortine-maker Epic Games.
What Happened: The jury had sided with Epic in 2023, accusing Google of imposing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/10/41124211/epic-games-starts-a-new-battle-with-google-and-samsung">restrictive policies</a> on its Google Play Store. Epic alleged that Google made payments to phone manufacturers and app developers to ensure exclusivity.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41220186/google-will-continue-to-fight-epic-games-in-court-to-halt-epic-requested-changes-to-play-store-under">Google argued that</a> Epic&#8217;s similar case against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was dismissed, suggesting the same should apply here.

U.S. Circuit Judge Gabriel P. Sanchez noted that competition with Apple does not justify Google&#8217;s monopolistic practices. Circuit Judges Danielle J. Forrest and Margaret McKeown pointed out differences between the Android and Apple ecosystems, challenging Google&#8217;s argument, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-03/google-bid-to-overturn-epic-app-win-eyed-skeptically-by-judges">reported</a> Bloomberg.
Why It Matters: Google is seeking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41217379/google-must-open-play-store-to-competitors-judge-orders">overturn an order</a> by U.S. District Judge James Donato, which mandates lifting restrictions on developers.
The injunction is currently on hold pending appeal. The U.S. Justice Department supports Donato&#8217;s ruling, highlighting the need to maintain competition in the market.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Alphabet's Class A shares had risen 1.15% in after-hours trading, while Class C shares were up 1.17%. Earlier on Monday, Class A shares closed down 1.37% at $201.23, and Class C shares declined 1.44% to $202.64, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Google's Fight Against Epic Games' Antitrust Win Hits Roadblock —Judges Tell Search Giant Apple Case Doesn't Apply

Renowned market strategist&nbsp;Tom Lee on Monday recommended buying stocks amid the recent market sell-off triggered by President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs but advised caution for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: Lee, managing partner and head of research at&nbsp;Fundstrat Global Advisors, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/03/tom-lee-says-buy-this-tariff-dip-in-stocks-but-bitcoin-is-headed-for-much-more-short-term-pain.html">stated </a>in a CNBC interview that Bitcoin could face short-term hurdles despite its strong long-term potential.
&#8220;But I think that there is still an argument that in the short term Bitcoin is a risk-on asset, so as the market liquidates, which happened over the weekend, Bitcoin takes a hit. So I'd say February is not looking great for Bitcoin in the near term,&#8221; Lee predicted.
Lee believed the $95,000 mark was &#8220;probably not the floor for this month&#8221; and that Bitcoin may fall further to $70,000 before resuming its uptrend. The analyst said that further downsides will provide a buying opportunity.

As for stocks, Lee said that the market usually &#8220;overreacts&#8221; to external developments like trade wars.
&#8220;So if this is the first reaction, I would probably guess that the second reaction is pulling back from some of that decline.&#8221;
Why It Matters: These comments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43452791/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-stage-strong-rebound-as-trump-pauses-canada-mexico-tariffs-analyst-flags-significance-of-101000-for-btc">preceded a strong recovery in stock futures and cryptocurrencies</a> after Trump paused tariffs on Canada and Mexico. 
The&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures&nbsp;was up 0.21% as of this writing, while Bitcoin surged back above $100,000.
Lee&#8217;s latest forecast <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42965795/tom-lee-forecasts-bitcoin-could-dip-to-50k-but-maintains-long-term-target-of-250k-amid-market-volatility">aligned with his previous predictions</a> around Bitcoin. Last month, he anticipated Bitcoin would test support levels at $70,000 or even the $50,000 range. However, he maintained a long-term bullish stance, targeting $250,000 in 2025.
Price Action:  At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $101,179.34, up 7.44% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) is capturing Wall Street&#8217;s attention, with market commentators Jim Cramer and Dan Ives making bold predictions about the company&#8217;s potential in the artificial intelligence revolution.
What Happened: On X, CNBC&#8217;s Cramer wrote, &#8220;I predicted $100 on Palantir and I promise I won&#8217;t let you down&#8230;&#8221; This comes as the stock experienced a dramatic after-hours surge of 22.75%, closing at $102.79.

Wedbush Securities Managing Director Ives was even more bullish, describing Palantir&#8217;s earnings as a &#8220;massive AIP growth&#8221; and a &#8220;very bullish barometer for use cases accelerating as part of the AI Revolution in 2025.&#8221; Ives went as far as suggesting Palantir could become &#8220;the next Oracle&#8221; in an interview with CNBC and potentially reach a trillion-dollar market cap in the next few years.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 2.36% in the last 24 hours, suggesting a surge in speculative trading.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency analyst and trader Rekt Capital noted Bitcoin's recovery to the $101,000 level.
"Now BTC needs to daily close above it and retest it successfully to reclaim it into support," the analyst remarked. "Until then &#8211; $101,000 needs to prove it is not a new resistance."

Another well-known analyst, Ali Martinez, spotted a potential head-and-shoulders pattern for Ethereum.
"ETH must hold above $2,700 to keep the bullish structure intact and have a chance of reaching $7,000," Martinez projected.
The inverse head and shoulders pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, indicating exhaustion of a prolonged downturn.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Stage Strong Rebound As Trump Pauses Canada, Mexico Tariffs: Analyst Flags Significance Of $101,000 For BTC

Tech <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43428104/nvidia-tsmc-apple-and-other-tech-stocks-slide-in-pre-market-trading-as-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-imports-from-china-mexico-and-canada">stocks tumbled on Monday</a> after President Donald Trump imposed steep tariffs on imports from Canada, China, and Mexico, sparking fears of supply chain disruptions — yet Wedbush analyst Dan Ives says Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) won't face immediate fallout.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s tariffs, which include a 25% levy on imports from Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, were set to take effect on Tuesday.
This move sparked concerns about potential retaliation affecting the tech sector. However, Ives said that the immediate impact on the semiconductor supply chain will be minimal.

&#8220;We believe short-term supply chain disruptions for the chip ecosystem will be very limited as it relates to Nvidia, TSMC, and others with retaliatory measures from Beijing as limited in the near term,&#8221; Ives said.
He characterized the situation as part of a &#8220;bigger game of high-stakes poker&#8221; between the U.S. and China, suggesting that while tensions are rising, the immediate risk to Nvidia, TSMC, and other chipmakers remains contained.

Why It Matters: President Trump and the leaders of Mexico and Canada reached eleventh-hour agreements to delay the implementation of steep tariffs on exports to the U.S., <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02/03/us/trump-tariffs">reported</a> the New York Times.
Meanwhile, a 10% tariff on Chinese imports remains scheduled to take effect at midnight. Trump will reportedly speak with Xi Jinping within the next 24 hours, though the exact timing of the call is uncertain.
However, earlier on Monday, the tariffs rattled semiconductor stocks.
Nvidia fell 2.84% to $116.66, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) dropped 1% to $410.92, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) declined 3.39% to $228.01, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) decreased 0.26% to $19.38, Super Micro Computer Inc.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has warned that the tariffs could lead to major supply chain disruptions and rising costs for American businesses and consumers.

Salesforce Cuts 1000 Jobs But Ramps Up Hiring For AI Sales Roles

Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Jeff Bezos-backed Perplexity AI, believes many startup founders fail because they chase market trends instead of working on problems they truly care about.
What Happened: During a June 2024 episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast, Srinivas shared his thoughts on why many startups fail. He argued that passion and personal interest in a problem are essential for long-term success.
&#8220;I think the thing that most people get wrong after they've decided to start a company is work on things they think the market wants,&#8221; he said.

Adding, &#8220;If you work from that perspective, I think you'll give up beyond the point because it's very hard to work towards something that was not truly important to you.&#8221;
He advised that recognizing one&#8217;s motivations and dopamine triggers is vital for achieving founder-market fit.&nbsp;
&#8220;Market will guide you towards making it a lucrative business by its own capitalistic pressure,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;But don't start in the other way where you started from an idea that you think the market likes and try to like it yourself.&#8221;

</figure>
Why It Matters: Srinivas has quickly risen as a major figure in AI. He worked at companies like OpenAI and Google's DeepMind before co-founding Perplexity AI in 2022.
Perplexity AI has gained traction as an AI-powered search engine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42084064/perplexity-ceo-asks-if-ai-startup-should-acquire-google-chrome-following-dojs-antitrust-push-against-search-giant">aiming to rival Google</a>. Srinivas has also become an angel investor, backing AI startups like ElevenLabs and Suno.
Earlier this year, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43219913/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-ai-proposes-deal-to-merge-with-tiktok-giving-us-government-50-stake-report">proposed a deal for TikTok's U.S.</a> operations, suggesting a new U.S.-based company partially owned by the government. If approved, this move could place him at the center of one of the biggest tech transactions in history.
Last week, Perplexity AI also introduced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293869/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-rolls-out-self-hosted-deepseek-r1-model-amid-controversy-over-chinese-ai-influence-ceo-aravind-srinivas-says-theres-a-lot-of-misconception">self-hosted variant</a> of China's DeepSeek R1 model.

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

The White House has appointed Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, as a &#8220;special government employee.&#8221; This designation allows Musk to be employed by the federal government while potentially sidestepping certain disclosure rules.
What Happened: As reported by Reuters, Musk, who continues to helm Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX, has been charged with leading Trump&#8217;s cost-cutting initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency. This role has granted Musk&#8217;s team access to various government systems, triggering concern and turmoil within some agencies.
Musk&#8217;s new designation could enable him to bypass disclosure rules about conflicts of interest and finances applicable to regular government employees. He will not receive a paycheck. This development has sparked scrutiny, with Democratic lawmakers voicing concerns over a billionaire without an electoral mandate gaining substantial power over the federal government.
Trump defended Musk, asserting that Musk cannot act without White House approval. He also lauded Musk&#8217;s instinct and his team&#8217;s talent. 
&#8220;Elon can&#8217;t do and won&#8217;t do anything without our approval,&#8221; said Trump. He said, &#8220;We&#8217;ll give him the approval, where appropriate; where not appropriate, we won&#8217;t. But he reports in.&#8221;
However, questions about accountability persist, as most special government employees are not bound to file financial disclosures, potentially making it challenging for the public and journalists to hold Musk and the government accountable.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s appointment comes amidst his recent <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43442302/elon-musk-says-elizabeth-warren-is-meddling-with-trillions-in-us-treasury-via-his-unqualified-flunkies">criticisms</a> of the Treasury Department and his proposal to use <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43425216/elon-musk-supports-putting-treasury-department-operations-on-blockchain-to-fix-irregularities">blockchain technology</a> to streamline its operations. 
His Department of Government Efficiency was recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43440720/elon-musks-4b-doge-plan-may-cut-federal-spending-30-apples-spring-2025-lineup-revealed-triumph-group-to-go-privat">granted access</a> to a sensitive Treasury Department payment system, a move that coincided with the resignation of a career Treasury official who had disagreements with Musk&#8217;s department. 
The potential implications of Musk&#8217;s new role and his plans for the Department of Government Efficiency, including a $4 billion a day cost-cutting plan, remain to be seen.
Notably, the Department of Government Efficiency shares its acronym with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), a cryptocurrency that Musk has promoted in the past with his social media posts.
Price Action: At the time of writing DOGE was seen trading higher by 7.95% at $0.285, according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Elon Musk Appointed As 'Special Government Employee' Amid DOGE Department Push: 'Can't Do Anything Without Our Approval,' Says Trump

Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/doge">Department of Government Efficiency</a>&nbsp;(DOGE) has been identifying and eliminating a wide swath of federal spending since President Donald Trump took office.
Now, DOGE is setting its sights on two mainstays in U.S. public broadcasting and journalism: NPR and PBS, the National Public Radio and the Public Broadcast System.
In a Monday <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/doge-subcommittee-chairwoman-greene-invites-npr-and-pbs-leaders-to-address-biased-news-coverage-at-public-hearing/">press release</a>, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a>, head of a new House subcommittee, Delivering on Government Efficiency, accused NPR and PBS of "systematically biased content" and is demanding that the heads of both groups testify before Congress for their alleged <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-green-pbs-npr-biased-content-b2691492.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;blatantly ideological and partisan coverage.&#8221;</a>
Greene pointed to NPR's coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Russian collusion story and COVID-19 origins. She blasted PBS for failing "to provide Americans with accurate reporting by incorrectly implying that Elon Musk made a fascist salute during President Trump's inauguration celebration."

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission launched an inquiry on Monday into Crypto.com and Kalshi on how the companies' Super Bowl event contracts comply<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43439189/robinhood-to-offer-super-bowl-event-contracts"> with derivatives regulations.</a>
The Details: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-03/crypto-com-kalshi-s-super-bowl-wagers-probed-by-us-derivatives-regulator">report</a>, the CFTC has requested additional information from Kalshi and Crypto.com, including evidence that the products are not susceptible to manipulation and comply with regulations.&nbsp;
The CFTC will then evaluate the responses before deciding on any enforcement actions or begin drafting a new rule.
"We are continuing to review the contracts in accordance with our regulations," a CFTC spokesman told Bloomberg.&nbsp;

The CFTC put Crypto.com's sports contracts under a special regulatory review in January to determine if they qualified as gaming. The CFTC did not place Kalshi's sports contracts under review at the time.&nbsp;
The CFTC is expected to vote by mid-April on whether to bar the contracts and sports contracts continue to trade in the meantime.&nbsp;
The CFTC's latest inquiry comes as Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) announced on Monday that its clients can access sports contracts through the Kalshi exchange. 
"With an emerging asset class like event contracts, we recognize an opportunity to better serve our customers as their interests converge across the markets, news, sports and entertainment," Robinhood said in a statement.
