General Dynamics Boosts Partnership With AWS To Drive Quantum Computing And AI For US Government

Morpheus, a platform for creating decentralized AI agents, will hold its first MOR Agents Builder Event, a three-day conference in Austin from April 22 to 24, focusing on the development of decentralized AI technologies.
Organized with partners including the Decentralized AI Society (DAIS), BASE, Akash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AKT</a>), and Coinbase Developer Platform, the event aims to bring together developers, researchers, and builders to collaborate on AI agents that operate on a peer-to-peer network.
The conference follows Morpheus' recent initiatives to incentivize AI development, reflecting a growing interest in open-source AI solutions.
The event will provide Morpheus builders a platform to showcase their AI agents to capital providers, with access to automated funding through Morpheus' smart contracts. 
Earlier this year, on Jan. 15, Morpheus launched $10 million in MOR token rewards for its AI builders, following its mainnet rollout.
Between Jan.15 and Feb. 15, 75 builder subnets earned over $1 million in rewards, according to Morpheus data.
The conference will be co-hosted by Venice.AI, a privacy-focused AI platform with over 100,000 daily active users. 
"The establishment of the MOR Agents Builder Event gives expression to our mission to democratize access to Decentralized AI, uniting developers, researchers, and builders to collaborate on open, transparent, and equitable AI systems," said David Johnston, a Morpheus open-source contributor.

Michael Casey, Chairman of DAIS, highlighted the event's significance, noting Morpheus' rapid growth since a chance meeting with Johnston in 2024. 
"It has been nothing short of inspiring to witness the rapid growth of the energetic, vibrant Morpheus ecosystem, whose community of builders are creating the Agents that will revolutionize the AI economy," Casey said. 
DAIS, a founding member of Morpheus, supports the platform's mission to counter centralized AI dominance by fostering a decentralized network where users control their own AI agents for tasks like crypto trading and smart contract execution.
Morpheus operates on a network powered by the MOR token, which has over 5,000 holders and trades on platforms like Aerodrome (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AERO</a>), Uniswap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uni/usd">UNI</a>), and CoinEx. 
The platform, supported by hundreds of open-source developers and partners like Lumerin, allows users to interact via a ChatGPT-like interface, offering features such as decentralized data routing, crypto payments for AI services, and an AI marketplace. 
Morpheus recently launched its ‘Forge' infrastructure platform, enabling developers to build and manage AI agents using tools like natural language processing and automation, with applications ranging from personal assistants to enterprise solutions.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Wheaton Precious Metals Stock In The Last 5 Years

KINS

Kingstone shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 adjusted EPS results and a year-over-year increase in Q4 sales results. Also, the company raised its FY25 net income per share.

PLRZ

Polyrizon shares are trading lower. The company announced that is signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with a biotech company focused on psychedelic-derived therapeutics, to develop a novel intranasal formulation for psychedelic-based treatment applications.

Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) were climbing in early trading on Friday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44329639/semtech-posts-better-than-expected-earnings-joins-rubrik-docusign-pagerduty-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-friday">upbeat fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Roth Capital Markets On D-Wave Quantum
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/599ecad3ca17380001263601/suji-desilva">Analyst Suji Desilva</a> maintained a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $7 to $10.
D-Wave Quantum reported revenues of $2.3 million, up 23.5% sequentially but down 21% year-on-year, Desilva said. The figure came in higher than consensus, "reflecting steady QCaaS service revenue results," he added.
Bookings stood at $18.3 million, "reflected inclusions of the company's first quantum annealing computer sale booked in the quarter," the analyst stated. "We are encouraged by the growing backlog and opportunity to diversify into hardware sales beyond core QCaaS quantum cloud services," he further wrote.

Benchmark On D-Wave Quantum
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60216a57879cba00010f246b/david-williams">Analyst David Williams</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $8.
D-Wave Quantum delivered "another quarter of strong results, demonstrating continued progress across its technology, financials, customer base, and business development initiatives," Williams said. We think the peer-reviewed publication of the company's quantum supremacy demonstration is a significant achievement and was the highlight since the company's last earnings release.
The company enjoyed momentum in hardware sales, with the first on-site Advantage system sale, the analyst stated. The launch of the next-generation Advantage 2 system, anticipated for later this year, is expected to "serve as a catalyst for additional sales opportunities," he wrote.
Needham On D-Wave Quantum
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e21cde3430dee0001c717dd/quinn-bolton">Analyst Quinn Bolton</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $8.50.
D-Wave Quantum "achieved quantum supremacy on a real world magnetic materials simulation problem, meaningfully strengthened its balance sheet," Bolton said. The company announced the sale of an Advantage system to the Julich Supercomputing Center in Germany, which is the first system sale in its history, he added.
While the system was booked in the fourth quarter, most of the revenue will be recognized in the first quarter of 2025, the analyst stated. "The company is engaged with three other institutions globally for quantum systems but does not expect additional system sales this year," he wrote.
QBTS Price Action: Shares of D-Wave Quantum had risen by 37.7% to $9.52 at the time of publication on Friday.

Gold hit a fresh record high on Thursday, with spot gold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44325928/gold-smashes-through-3000-mark-as-markets-brace-for-turbulence-and-fed-signals">crossing $3,000 per ounce</a>, up 1.8%. It has surged 13% in 2025, outperforming all major asset classes. On Friday, spot gold pared some of the gains and was trading at $2,982.73 as of 11:50 a.m. EST.
Needless to say, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">gold ETFs</a>, which offer investors exposure to gold without owning the metal, have gained from this rally. Some top-performing gold ETFs include:
SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): Tracks spot gold prices closely and has an expense ratio of 0.4%. It has risen 12% year-to-date, illustrating the strong demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>): Follows the performance of the price of gold bullion. It carries an expense ratio of 0.25%. The ETF has climbed 12% YTD, closely mirroring gold's price action.
VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>): Focuses on gold mining stocks and carries an expense ratio of 0.5%. The ETF has gained 23.5% YTD, benefiting from rising gold prices and improved miner profitability.
VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>): Targets smaller, high-growth mining firms. The ETF has surged 22.8% YTD as speculative interest in smaller miners has picked up.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Surging Gold ETF Inflows</h1>
Investor interest in gold ETFs is on the rise. The World Gold Council <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-etfs-holdings-and-flows/2025/03">reported </a>recently that global physically-backed gold ETFs saw $9.4 billion in inflows in February, the highest since March 2022. This marks three consecutive months of strong inflows, pushing total assets under management (AUM) to $306 billion. Holdings have also risen to 3,353 tonnes, the highest since July 2023. 
North American flows rebounded after two months of outflows, while Asian demand remained strong and European inflows narrowed. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Gold Soaring?</h1>
Simply, economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks are driving gold's rally.
President Donald Trump's administration has reignited trade war fears by threatening tariffs. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44308014/gold-hits-record-highs-as-trade-war-fears-fuel-safe-haven-demand-mining-stocks-soar">Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow model projects</a> a 2.4% contraction for the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2025, and JPMorgan raised the probability of a recession to 40%.
A key unknown factor is also influencing gold prices. 
"A large and unknown player is driving gold's recent rally," said Ross Norman, CEO of Metals Daily Ltd., speculating that this could explain the unusual movements in gold prices.
Macquarie Group analysts are bullish, forecasting gold at $3,500 per ounce by the third quarter. "We view gold's price strength to date, and our expectation for it to continue, as primarily being driven by investors' and official institutions' greater willingness to pay for its lack of credit or counterparty risk," Macquarie wrote.
With trade tensions, recession fears and global uncertainty, demand for gold, and naturally, gold ETFs, is expected to stay strong. As price targets rise, investors seeking a hedge against volatility may find gold ETFs a compelling option.
