'Labour poised to announce £100m levy on gambling companies' - The Guardian

The cryptocurrency XRP Token (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) from Ripple is soaring in price over the last week with a new filing for an XRP exchange-traded fund adding to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122141/xrp-price-up-8-what-is-going-on-with-ripple"> optimism for the crypto.</a>
What Happened: Asset manager WisdomTree<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42170669/wisdomtree-files-for-xrp-etf-trust-report"> filed to establish</a> a trust entity as part of a step towards launching a potential XRP ETF.
The move follows other companies like Bitwise that have filed to launch cryptocurrency ETFs.
With Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs already approved, cryptocurrency experts see ETFs based on other top 10 cryptos by market capitalization like Solana, Dogecoin and XRP as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42011875/solana-ripple-litecoin-etfs-may-be-on-the-table-under-trump-administration-industry-experts-think">next to be approved.</a>
Ripple Labs, the issuer of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ripple-xrp-price-prediction">XRP</a>, has been involved in several regulatory issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) previously, which could impact the approval of the ETFs and has also impacted the price of XRP in the past.
With SEC Chairman Gary Gensler<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia"> set to resign</a> in January and a new pro-crypto White House administration potentially taking shape, some see past cases against cryptocurrency companies quietly going away.
In July 2023, Ripple received a favorable ruling in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/07/33219187/major-victory-for-ripple-xrp-sales-not-classified-as-investment-contracts-judge-rules" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">case dating to 2020.</a>
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres determined the sale of the XRP token by Ripple is not an offer of "investment contracts." The ruling came after Ripple spent a significant amount of money<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/05/32272013/ripple-ceo-reveals-a-staggering-amount-spent-on-legal-battle-with-sec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> fighting claims that XRP was a security.</a>
Torres said that some assets can serve as an investment contract, including digital tokens. In the case of the XRP token, it is not a security, according to the ruling.
Alongside the ruling, the judge found Ripple's sales of XRP to institutions to be in violation of the Securities Act. This ruling could become a key item to watch for the cryptocurrency sector moving forward.
The case between the SEC and Ripple remains active, with the SEC appealing and having until January to submit additional filings.
Here's a look back at an investment in the XRP token when the lawsuit by the SEC was announced.

If You Invested $1,000 in XRP:&nbsp;The XRP token hit a low of $0.41055 on Dec. 22, 2020, the day the charges were announced.
XRP would fall to a low of $0.1748 on Dec. 29, 2020, hitting new lows for the year. On that day, an investor could have purchased 5,720.82 XRP with $1,000.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $8,409.61 today, representing a gain of 741%.
The return of the hypothetical investment in XRP has outperformed the broader stock market.
The same $1,000 invested in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF, which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, would be worth $1,594.15 today, representing a gain of 59.4%.
XRP has traded between $0.3911 to $1.62 over the last year, with the yearly high hit in the last week. The 36% weekly gain for XRP is the second largest among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, trailing only Cardano (+39%).
While XRP has seen a sharp rise in the last week, the cryptocurrency remains well off of its all-time high of $3.84, which was set in January 2018.

Hemp has long been a cornerstone of American industry, from its vital role in the Mayflower's journey to its symbolic importance in the fight for independence. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, it&#8217;s fitting to reflect on how this versatile crop helped build the foundation of the U.S., in the past as well as in the modern era. From the early days of colonial America to its potential role in today's economy, hemp continues to shape the story of American resilience and innovation.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp: From Sailcloth To Sovereignty</h3>
When the Mayflower set sail in 1620, carrying Pilgrims across the Atlantic, it relied on hemp, a material essential for survival and symbolic of resilience. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hemp">Hemp's strength</a>, durability and water resistance made it crucial for crafting the ship&#8217;s sails, ropes and rigging, ensuring the ship could withstand the journey. 
The Pilgrims, English settlers who established Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, brought knowledge of hemp cultivation from Europe, but their immediate focus was survival. It wasn't until the English government began encouraging hemp farming that its true importance was realized. As Ernest Abel (1980) notes, in 1611, King James I ordered hemp cultivation in Jamestown, Virginia, aiming to reduce reliance on imports. Over time, hemp became a critical crop for the colonies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp And Seeds Of Rebellion</h3>
As colonial America grew, hemp shifted from a practical crop to a symbol of resistance against British economic control. The Wool Act of 1699 banned exports of colonial wool and textiles, forcing reliance on British imports. Hemp offered a vital alternative, allowing colonists to secure materials and defy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/uk-cannabis">British trade</a> restrictions.
During the political unrest following the Stamp Act of 1765, the symbolic power of hemp grew. Families across the colonies began producing their textiles, including osnaburgs &#8211; a coarse linen made from hemp and flax. These homespun fabrics kept colonists warm during harsh winters and represented an act of rebellion against British control over colonial economies. 
George Washington himself championed the crop, producing over 1,300 yards of hemp and flax fabric annually at Mount Vernon by 1767. Soon, America's first innovators expanded hemp's use beyond textiles. It became legal tender in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/virginia-cannabis">Virginia </a>(1682), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/maryland-cannabis">Maryland </a>(1683) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">Pennsylvania</a> (1706), strengthening local economies and reducing reliance on British currency.
In the northern colonies, where hemp was in high demand for shipbuilding, merchants purchased every available fiber. This material &#8211; essential for crafting ropes, sails and fishing nets &#8211; became the lifeblood of New England's maritime industries.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp In Maritime And Industrial Expansion</h3>
Ropewalks, factories dedicated to twisting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hemp">hemp fibers</a> into ropes were first established in Salem in 1635 and later in Boston by 1642, when English rope maker John Harrison introduced advanced techniques. 
Early ropewalks were simple open fields with posts for twisting fibers, but they evolved into enclosed factories powered by steam engines. By the time of the American Revolution, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/massachusetts-cannabis">Boston</a> alone had 14 ropewalks, underscoring hemp's critical role in the colonies' economic infrastructure.
Despite its importance, hemp production often lagged behind demand due to its labor-intensive cultivation and processing requirements. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, advocates of hemp farming, struggled to make it a profitable venture. The shortages of hemp fiber, especially in New England, highlighted the challenges of scaling production to meet industrial needs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Centuries Later, Hemp Is Regulated Then Later Banned</h3>
By 1937, hemp was heavily regulated in the U.S. under the Marihuana Tax Act, making it difficult for farmers to produce. During World War II, the U.S. faced a significant decline in domestic hemp production due to the loss of foreign sources, such as the Philippines, which were under Japanese control. 
In response, the U.S. government initiated the War Hemp Program to ramp up domestic cultivation for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/37271000/u-s-army-invests-1-9m-to-develop-hemp-manufactured-buildings-for-military-operations">military and industrial needs</a>. This program successfully increased hemp acreage to supply the materials necessary for the war effort, including ropes, uniforms and parachutes.
Hemp was then prohibited by the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which classified it as a Schedule I controlled substance. This classification remained in place until the 2018 Farm Bill, which<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41406637/top-5-cannabis-legalization-missteps-in-recent-u-s-history-a-selection"> legalized hemp </a>cultivation once again.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp Belongs In America&#8217;s Industry </h3>
In the northern colonies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hemp">hemp</a> was once the foundation of thriving industries, creating jobs and driving American ingenuity. Today, hemp holds the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42041965/usda-extends-hemp-testing-flexibility-postpones-dea-lab-certification-rule">potential </a>to ignite the next great industrial revolution.

From textiles to bioplastics to advanced construction materials, hemp has always been part of the industrious spirit of the American Revolution, fueled by resourcefulness and hard work.
It&#8217;s time to strengthen American industry, one fiber at a time.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez compared the current bullish cycle to those of 2020 and 2017, <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1861082972901777633">predicting</a> that if historical patterns hold, the first significant correction (ranging from 15% to 30%) might not occur until Bitcoin reaches $135,000 to $159,000.
Rekt Capital highlighted that past Bitcoin cycles typically experienced major corrections six to seven weeks into price discovery: The 2013 cycle saw six weeks of upside before a correction in week seven, while seven weeks of gains followed by a 34% retrace in week eight in the 2017 cycle. Lastly, there were six weeks of rallying before a 16% pullback in the 2020/2021 cycle.
Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1861101519073841355">noted</a> that Bitcoin is currently in week four, suggesting further upward momentum may occur before a significant correction, based on historical trends.
Meanwhile, The Cryptomist suggested targeting long positions around $82,000–$84,000 if Bitcoin loses its current trend.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Dip, Ethereum Stays Green: Trader Predicts 'First Major BTC Correction' Only After One Key Level Hits

Realty Income's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) short percent of float has risen 12.04% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 18.41 million shares sold short, which is 2.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.08 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Realty Income has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Realty Income's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Realty Income's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.78%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Enphase Energy?

Tractor Supply's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NYSE">TSCO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.71% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.00 million shares sold short, which is 6.34% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.66 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Tractor Supply has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Tractor Supply's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Tractor Supply's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 12.61%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) shares are racing higher on Monday. The EV stock appears to be reacting to reports that Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reached a &#8220;conditional&#8221; settlement with Rivian in regard to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156817/tesla-rivian-settle-battery-tech-theft-dispute-after-nearly-4-years">a 2020 lawsuit</a>.
What Happened: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-22/tesla-says-it-s-settling-technology-theft-suit-against-rivian">report</a>, Tesla said it reached a conditional settlement in its 2020 lawsuit against Rivian in which the Elon Musk-led company accused Rivian of poaching Tesla employees to get ahold of its EV trade secrets. 
Tesla reportedly told a California judge that it plans to seek dismissal of the case by Dec. 24 if the terms of the settlement are met. Tesla didn&#8217;t disclose specifics about the conditional agreement in its court filing. 
About four years ago, Musk flagged an &#8220;alarming pattern&#8221; of <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">Tesla</a> employees being poached by Rivian. Tesla even claimed that some workers were caught misappropriating Tesla&#8217;s internal technology for its next-gen batteries. 
Rivian reportedly denied all wrongdoing related to the lawsuit and suggested that Tesla was merely attempting to stifle competition in the EV space. 
Rivian previously failed to get the lawsuit thrown out and a trial was scheduled for March. It appears an agreement between the two EV makers could bring the dispute to a close before the end of the year.

Rivian recently launched a new joint venture with Volkswagen called "Rivian and VW Group Technology"&nbsp;that will focus on providing next-gen electrical architecture and software technology for future electric vehicles.
Rivian and Volkswagen expect to reduce development costs and scale new technologies more quickly through the joint venture, which aims to use existing Rivian architecture and software to enable the launch of Rivian's R2 in the first half of 2026.

Lockheed Martin's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPXI#NASDAQ">UPXI</a>) shares are trading lower. The company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for Nevada to investigate those behind the manipulative fractional share round-up scheme during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41548075/whats-going-on-with-upexi-shares-friday">reverse stock split.</a>
The Details: Upexi believes that through the discovery process the company will be able to decipher who engaged in the manipulative trading transactions.
The company completed a 12-for-1 reverse stock split in early October. Before the split, it had fewer than 5,000 shareholders. Following the split, five brokerage firms requested 199,059 of the 202,183 total roundup shares, which account for about 19% of Upexi&#8217;s outstanding stock. 
This represents approximately 40 times the number of shareholders the company had before the reverse stock split.
&#8220;The company has taken the first and precedent-setting action in exposing the blatant manipulation around reverse stock splits. Since our previous release regarding this issue, I have been contacted by a number of companies who also were victims of this damaging stock manipulation scheme. I am astonished by the extent of the evidentiary support and encouragement I have received from multiple sources to advance our claims against those whom we believe manipulated the shares of Upexi and other securities,&#8221; said Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi.

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has gained traction amid rising burn rates, sparking optimism among technical analysts about bullish momentum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/shiba-inu-price-prediction">for the token.</a>
What Happened: According to Shibburn data, the burn rate for SHIB surged by 486.8% over the past day, with 5.9 million SHIB coins permanently removed from circulation.
 A single transaction alone accounted for around 2 million burned tokens.
Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu, recently <a href="https://x.com/ShytoshiKusama/status/1860503088324387310">noted</a> that while burning 99% of SHIB's supply seemed improbable in the past, it now appears achievable due to increasing collaborations within the Shibarium ecosystem.
Kusama urged more projects to adopt Shibarium's tech stack to accelerate the burn rate

Why It Matters: Despite the spike in the burn rate, data from IntoTheBlock shows a 48% decline in large transaction volumes and a 24.6% drop in daily active addresses. 
Transactions exceeding $100,000 fell from 939 to 626 in a single day.
On the other hand, Shibariumscan recorded a rise in daily transactions, increasing from 4.75 million on Nov. 23 to 4.77 million on Nov. 24. 
DefiLlama data highlighted that Shibarium's total value locked (TVL) reached an all-time high of $4.76 million.
Benzinga Technical Analysis shows a relative strength index (RSI) of 39 for SHIB, suggesting the token is currently oversold, which could lead to a price rebound. 
Shiba Inu's 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) has surpassed its 100-day and 200-day SMA, signaling a bullish trend and potential buying opportunities.
Price Action: Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00002564 at the time of writing, up 2.5% over the past 24 hours.
