Why Pinterest Shares Are Trading Higher By 13%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, has unveiled her latest venture,&nbsp;Planet Harvest. The company aims to enhance the accessibility of fresh produce and address supply chain inefficiencies.
What Happened:&nbsp;Trump made her first significant public appearance since her father&#8217;s return to the White House&nbsp;at the Heartland Summit in&nbsp;Bentonville, Arkansas. Here, she spoke about her role in Planet Harvest, a Chicago-based &#8220;profit-for-purpose company&#8221; founded in 2023.
Trump expressed her vision for Planet Harvest and <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/08/exclusive-ivanka-trump-plans-new-focus-on-access-to-fresh-produce">told </a>Axios in an interview, stating that the company&#8217;s goal is to &#8220;reimagine how American produce moves&nbsp;— not just through the&nbsp;supply chain, but across communities.&#8221;&nbsp;The company aims to link surplus crops with those in need, helping farmers, cutting food waste, and enhancing access to healthy food.
Ivanka Trump stated that her commitment to aiding American farmers and boosting food access in underserved communities began during her involvement with the USDA's Farmers to Families Food Box program amid the pandemic.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s new venture comes as a sharp contrast to the recent moves of her father&#8217;s administration. In March, the USDA cancelled up to $1 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43901558/snap-benefits-in-focus-trump-admin-targets-bidens-food-assistance-policies">local food sourcing </a>for schools and food banks, a move that was widely criticized by school administrations and health experts. 
The Trump administration also scrapped a major local food program worth $660 million while also withdrawing the planned 2025 Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program, cutting support for schools, childcare centers, and food banks.
The cuts coincide with rising food insecurity in the nation, affecting 13.5% of Americans in 2023 — the highest rate in nearly a decade, as per data from the USDA.

Actor Seth Rogen stood his ground against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) executives, insisting on a surprising Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) cameo in his Apple TV+ comedy series despite the company's push for its own CEO.
What Happened: Rogen's The Studio is packed with celebrity cameos, but one guest star raised eyebrows even inside Apple's own boardrooms. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos appears as himself in episode eight of the series, which aired on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-studio-ted-sarandos-cameo-apple-wanted-tim-cook-seth-rogen-2025">reported</a> Business Insider.
"They asked if we could use Tim Cook instead, and we said no," Rogen told the publication at the red carpet premiere of The Studio during the SXSW Film &amp; TV Festival in March.

Discovery Pulling Back From &#8216;More Is Better&#8217; Streaming Strategy, Bets Big On Premium Content — And Letting Scooby-Doo Sniff Out New Fans On Netflix</a>
Why It's Important: Rogen's decision to feature Sarandos, a top executive at Apple's biggest streaming rival, speaks volumes about the current streaming landscape.
While Netflix has soared past 300 million subscribers and turned a once money-losing operation into a profitable empire, Apple TV+ remains a costly experiment, the report said.

Reports suggest Apple is losing over $1 billion per year on the streaming service, with an estimated 45 million subscribers — a fraction of Netflix's audience.
Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $10.54 billion, marking a 12.5% increase compared to the same period last year. The figure came in slightly above the Street consensus estimate of $10.52 billion.
Apple, on the other hand, posted fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">second-quarter revenue</a> of $95.36 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $94.53 billion.
Price Action: According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple shares have declined 19.01% year-to-date, while Netflix shares have gained 29.06% over the same period.

Tim Cook's Apple TV+ Cameo Rejected By Seth Rogen, Opts For Netflix's Ted Sarandos Instead: 'We Said No'

U.S.-based Hydrogen fuel cell company Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) will use German Chemical Company BASF's (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BASFY#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) purification solutions in its Hydrogen liquefaction plants.
What Happened: Plug Power will utilize BASF's Private Pd15 DeOxo catalysts as well as implement BASF's Oxygen and water removal solutions, Offshore Energy reported <a href="https://www.offshore-energy.biz/plug-power-to-use-basfs-purification-solutions-in-its-hydrogen-liquefaction-plants/">on</a> Thursday.
The collaboration will primarily focus on hydrogen liquefaction plants with capacities of 30, 60, and 90 tons per day, according to the report.
"We are proud to have also earned the approval of other leading players in the green hydrogen sector," BASF's Senior Vice President Detlef Ruff said.
"We believe this collaboration will provide our clients with proven and reliable end-to-end solutions that enhance the economic viability of liquid hydrogen plants," Plug Power's Vice President Daniel Kennedy shared in the statement.
Why It Matters: Plug Power recently announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45038400/plug-power-rallies-as-new-financing-cost-cuts-boost-confidence-in-turnaround-plan">$525 million debt facility deal </a>with Yorkville Advisors as the company looks to implement its turnaround plan successfully.
The company also launched its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44875414/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today">Hydrogen liquefaction facility </a>in Louisiana as part of a joint venture with Olin Corporation. The plant is capable of liquifying over 15 metric tons of Hydrogen on a daily basis.
Plug Power had shared the company's Q4 earnings, which showcased a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44614627/plug-power-stock-plagued-by-earnings-miss-cost-cuts-280m-capital-raise-in-march">revenue of $191.5 million</a>, falling well below analyst estimates of $263.2 million. The company also posted a gross margin loss of 122%.

Himax Unveils Ultra-Luminous Dual-Edge Front-lit LCoS Microdisplay At Display Week 2025

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady Wednesday between 4.25% and 4.50%, marking the third consecutive pause in rate policy and extending the wait for potential homebuyers seeking relief from elevated mortgage costs.
What Happened: Housing market participants hoping for signs of mortgage rate relief were disappointed as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized that no further action on interest rate cuts will be taken until sufficient economic data supports such moves, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/real-estate/another-pause-in-fed-interest-rate-cuts-may-disappoint-homebuyers?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> The Street. 
The decision comes as recent mortgage applications <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/45022780/high-mortgage-rates-economic-uncertainty-rain-on-spring-home-buying-season">plunged 12.7% </a>and existing home sales fell 5.9% in March, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association and National Association of Realtors data.
&#8220;The financial hurdles to owning a home have rarely been higher, especially for young households that don&#8217;t yet have their foot in the door,&#8221; said BMO, according to the report. This reality is reflected in the record-high median first-time homebuyer age, which reached 38 last year.

Why It Matters: The 30-year fixed mortgage rate recently stood at 6.90%, up from 6.81% the previous week and reaching the highest level in two months. This marks a dramatic increase from the 3.5% rates seen before 2022&#8217;s spike to nearly 7%, which effectively ended the Covid-era housing boom, the report noted.
Market watchers now look toward potential rate cuts later this year, with CME FedWatch forecasting a 51.1% chance of a reduction in July. However, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. analysts remain pessimistic, predicting the housing market will stay <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43977811/mortgage-rates-drop-to-lowest-levels-since-december-but-housing-market-remains-largely-stuck">&#8220;largely stuck&#8221;</a> through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43977811/mortgage-rates-drop-to-lowest-levels-since-december-but-housing-market-remains-largely-stuck">2025 unless mortgage rates approach 5%</a>.
The Fed noted in its statement that &#8220;uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further&#8221; and &#8220;risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen,&#8221; introducing new cautionary language that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45263291/fed-keeps-rates-steady-warns-of-rising-uncertainty-about-the-economic-outlook">suggests continued policy restraint</a>.

'Financial Hurdles To Owning A Home Have Rarely Been Higher,' Says BMO As Fed Holds Rates, Extending Wait For Homebuyers

Prominent economist Mohamed A. El-Erian has highlighted potential &#8220;adverse implications&#8221; for domestic industries following a surprisingly strong surge in China&#8217;s exports for April. In a post on X, El-Erian noted that China&#8217;s exports jumped by 8% in April, significantly exceeding the consensus forecast of 2%.
What Happened: This robust growth occurred even as China experienced a substantial 21% drop in sales to the United States, a key trading partner. El-Erian&#8217;s analysis suggests that this export surge is being fueled by China&#8217;s strategic redirection of its goods to other countries.
&#8220;This surge comes as China redirects more of its exports to other countries, which is likely to exacerbate concerns about the adverse implications for certain domestic industries,&#8221; El-Erian stated in his X post.
El-Erian&#8217;s commentary points out that Chinese goods are entering new markets, as they navigate reduced demand from the U.S. According to him, this could put significant pressure on local producers.
This is likely to lead to increased competition, potentially impacting pricing, market share, and the overall viability of certain domestic industries.

Why It Matters: The redirection of Chinese exports is likely a consequence of ongoing trade tensions and geopolitical factors influencing the relationship between China and the United States.
As the U.S. seeks to reduce its reliance on Chinese goods in certain sectors, China appears to be actively seeking and expanding its trade relationships with other nations.
However, the U.S. and China agreed to hold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45242461/donald-trumps-trade-war-sparks-first-major-us-china-talks-scott-bessent-jamieson-greer-to-meet-chinese-delegation-in-geneva">high-level trade talks</a> in Switzerland this weekend, their first major meeting since President Donald Trump initiated the trade war. The meeting comes amid growing U.S. market concerns over tariff impacts. 
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Thursday.

On Friday, the futures of the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 advanced during the trade.

Mohamed El-Erian Flags 'Adverse Implications' For Domestic Industries As China's Exports Rise 8% Despite 21% Drop In US Shipments

According to a leading fund manager and venture capitalist, Google-parent Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) search dominance is facing mounting challenges, with a high-profile antitrust lawsuit, and emerging technologies that are reshaping consumer behaviours.
What Happened: On Thursday, Gene Munster, the managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, appeared <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoPkgcdBuBw">on</a> CNBC&#8217;s Fast Money to discuss the challenges currently facing the search giant.
Munster notes the rapid acceleration in OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, &#8220;It took 10 months to go from 1 to 200 million users, then just six months to reach 400 million,&#8221; he says, &#8220;It's on track to hit 800 million by June,&#8221; warning of a seismic change in how users search for information online.
This shift, Munster says, creates a difficult scenario for Google, as it will struggle with traditional monetization options if it has to keep up with GenAI competitors. 
&#8220;The golden goose is showing its age,&#8221; he says, while citing Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Senior Vice President of Services, Eddie Cue, who recently said under oath during the United States Department of Justice hearing that search usage within Apple&#8217;s Safari browser has declined for the first time. &#8220;That caught my attention,&#8221; Munster said, as &#8220;Safari accounts for about half of browser use on iPhones.&#8221;
This comes amid the DOJ turning up the heat on Apple&#8217;s $20 billion a year deal with Google, which involves making it the default search engine on the iPhone.
Drawing parallels with Google, Munster gives the example of Redbox, the movie rental service that once disrupted Blockbuster, but eventually faded into oblivion. &#8220;I thought Redbox would be over before it started, but it took 10 years to wind down,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The pace of change [with Google] is faster than I expected,&#8221; he adds.
At the end of the day, Munster says, the central question is &#8220;how [Google is] going to create a product that people want, that still allows them to monetize.&#8221;

Why It Matters: News that Apple may be reconsidering its long-standing partnership with Google in favor of an AI-powered search alternative prompted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45259675/apple-alphabet-shares-tumble-amid-potential-ai-search-shift">pullback in Alphabet shares</a> this week.
Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, weighed in on Alphabet's stock decline with a post on X, stating, &#8220;AI is eating search.&#8221; His comment comes as <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45277969/ai-is-eating-search-google-rival-perplexity-ceo-arvind-srinivas-says-as-dan-nile-predicts-agents-to-take-future-share-amid-alphabet-apple-stock-fall">Perplexity positions itself</a> as a leading contender in the rapidly evolving search landscape.
Price Action: Alphabet shares were up 1.93% on Thursday and 0.48% after hours.

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) is offering discounts of up to $20,000 on the company's Air sedan in May amid uncertainty cast by the Trump administration's tariffs.
What Happened: The EV manufacturer, on Thursday, on its website, revealed that it is offering discounts across multiple trim levels of the Air sedan. The Lucid Air offers a range of up to 512 miles on a single charge.
The Lucid Air Touring Trim is available for a discount of $20,500, including the $7,500 Federal EV credit, $1,000 On-Site bonus, $2,000 Conquest Offer, as well as $10,000 as Air Credit.&nbsp;
On the other hand, the Pure and Grand Touring trims are available with discounts of up to $18,000 and $15,500, respectively.

Lucid also announced plans to enter the Mid-size space in 2026 and set a production target of 20,000 units by the end of the year.

Coinbase, Lyft And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index gaining around 250 points during the session after the Trump administration signed its first major trade agreement with the United Kingdom.

Dow Surges 250 Points After US Announces First Trade Deal: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Microsoft Corporation&#8216;s co-founder and billionaire philanthropist, Bill Gates, has recently criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his actions that Gates believes are detrimental to the world&#8217;s poorest children.
What Happened: Gates, in his <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bdd9bb89-ac3c-4043-9ca4-bc7efbd41fed">interview</a> with the Financial Times, expressed concerns over Musk&#8217;s decision to significantly reduce the funding of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the primary channel for U.S. aid, back in February. Gates, who was also once the world&#8217;s richest man, believes that these abrupt cuts have led to the expiration of life-saving food and medicines in warehouses, potentially causing a resurgence of diseases like measles, HIV, and polio. 
Musk and the White House did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
"The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one," stated Gates. 
Gates also pointed out that Musk had withdrawn grants from&nbsp;a hospital in Gaza Province,&nbsp;Mozambique, which was instrumental in preventing the transmission of HIV from mothers to their babies. He said this was due to Musk&#8217;s mistaken belief that the U.S. was supplying condoms to Hamas in Gaza.
"I'd love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money," stated Gates, taking a dig at Musk.

Why It Matters: This is not the first time Gates has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43781034/bill-gates-hopes-elon-musk-will-rethink-slashing-usaid-their-work-is-something-every-taxpayer-would-be-proud-of">expressed </a>his concerns over Musk&#8217;s actions. In February, Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development—the primary channel for U.S. aid—stating it was "time for it to die." Following that, Gates had hoped that Musk would reconsider his decision to slash USAID programs. Gates has been a vocal advocate of USAID, stating that their work is something every taxpayer would be proud of.
Gates and Musk have previously disagreed over philanthropy, despite Musk signing the Gates-backed Giving Pledge in 2012. Musk later dismissed philanthropy as "bullshit," favoring commercial solutions like Tesla to tackle global issues, according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson.
In 2020, Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45305930/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-has-no-clue-after-gates-claimed-electric-trucks-may-never-be-practical-because-they-can">fired back</a> at Bill Gates, saying he &#8220;has no clue&#8221; after Gates suggested electric trucks might &#8220;never be practical&#8221; due to their limited range. 
On Thursday, Gates pledged to donate 99% of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45286464/bill-gates-commits-99-of-his-remaining-fortune-to-gates-foundation-set-to-wind-down-in-20-years-somebody-should-give-more-money-than-i-did">remaining fortune </a>to the Gates Foundation to support various humanitarian causes. The philanthropist said accelerated spending aims for maximum impact, targeting lasting solutions like eradicating polio and curing HIV.

Bill Gates Slams Elon Musk Over Abrupt USAID Cuts: 'The Picture Of The World's Richest Man Killing The World's Poorest…'

Dating app giant Tinder, Hinge, and Match.com&#8217;s parent company, Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>), missed estimates but announced restructuring plans spearheaded by new CEO Spencer Rascoff during its first quarter earnings call.
What Happened: Rascoff unveiled a strategy focused on unifying the company&#8217;s diverse portfolio of brands, integrating artificial intelligence across its platforms, and prioritizing product innovation to spur growth.
However, layoffs were also the primary part of the company&#8217;s plan.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve also taken some hard, but appropriate steps today to sharpen our focus, including a planned 13% reduction of our workforce, as well as closing a number of open roles and further tightening operating expenses,&#8221; he said.
He explained that the deep integration of artificial intelligence with Tinder aimed at attracting a younger, Gen Z audience. These include &#8220;Double Date,&#8221; allowing users to pair up with friends, and &#8220;The Game Game,&#8221; a voice-based experience using AI for flirting practice.
Rascoff highlighted that Hinge continues to be a strong performer in the &#8220;intentioned dating&#8221; category.
The app saw a 23% year-over-year increase in direct revenue, driven by user growth and the successful launch of an AI-powered recommendation algorithm that has boosted matches and contact exchanges.

Why It Matters: While the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45296499/match-group-stock-falls-after-q1-revenue-decline-and-tinder-weakness-prompt-restructuring-plan">total revenue</a> of $831.2 million slightly surpassed the analyst consensus estimate of $827.5 million, representing a 3% year-over-year decline, its GAAP earnings per share of $0.44 missed the expected $0.45.
The number of paying users also fell by 5% to 14.2 million compared to the same period last year.
Looking ahead, Match Group reaffirmed its full-year 2025 total revenue guidance but noted potential headwinds from macroeconomic conditions and foreign exchange rate volatility.
MTCH shares were lower by 15.76% on a year-to-date basis and 10.17% over a year. On Thursday, the shares closed 9.58% lower.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Thursday.

Gogo Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

After posting record earnings on Thursday, D-Wave Quantum Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) management highlighted its progress in enabling energy-efficient measures to enhance blockchain hashing using quantum computing.
What Happened: CEO Alan Baratz highlighted the inference of its recent research paper titled Blockchain with Proof of Quantum Work.
The study showed that quantum computation can be used to generate and validate blockchain hashes. Hashes are unique &#8220;digital fingerprints&#8221; of data, which makes it easy to detect tampering.
The CEO said that &#8220;using quantum computation for hashing and proof of work could potentially require a fraction of the electricity used by classical resources alone and reduce electricity costs by up to a factor of 1000.&#8221;
He explained that blockchain &#8220;security and efficiency&#8221; can be increased by adding quantum to traditional blockchain computation.
&#8220;D-Wave scientists deployed the blockchain architecture across four of its cloud-based annealing quantum computers in Canada and the United States, performing distributed quantum computing for the first time,&#8221; he said during the earnings call.
Baratz said that D-Wave was eyeing &#8220;potential partnerships&#8221; after being approached by interested &#8220;blockchain-focused organizations.&#8221;

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Essent Group Expectations Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

MARA Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) CEO Fred Thiel reiterated the company&#8217;s commitment to its Bitcoin holding strategy on Thursday, emphasizing the potential benefits for its stockholders.
What Happened: During the first quarter earnings call, Thiel said MARA held a &#8220;distinguishing&#8221; position in the market, allowing shareholders to gain from its Bitcoin HODL play as well as pure-play mining activities. 
&#8220;What MARA is doing is a twin turbocharge strategy,&#8221; Thiel said. &#8220;And then when you drive a twin turbo engine, you see the benefit of both the sides.&#8221;
Thiel also noted that the decision to pivot to a &#8220;full HODL&#8221; strategy was based on careful market conditions and macroeconomic factors analysis, which he believed would yield long-term benefits for MARA stockholders.
&#8220;So I think we&#8217;re going to continue to see things move up in Bitcoin longer term, which is why we are still in very much a full HODL position,&#8221; he added.

世界的な経済学者であるPeter Schiff氏が、ETFでビットコイン（仮想通貨:BTC）を保有することの価値や目的について議論を巻き起こし、その方法がビットコインのいくつかのコアバリューと矛盾していると主張しました。
出来事： Schiff氏は、火曜日に世界最大の仮想通貨に対する露出を得ると、ビットコインの主要な原則、つまり非中央集権性とピアツーピア性を無効化してしまうと述べました。
「ビットコインはもはや非中央集権的でなく、ピアツーピアではなく、当局に簡単に押収され、支払いのための通貨として使用できず、国境を越えて送金することもできません。それはあなたの鍵ではない、あなたのコインでもありません」とSchiff氏は述べています。
ビットコインの批判者は、ETFへの需要の大半は、キング・クリプト（ビットコインの通称）の基本を理解していない人々から来ており、彼らはそれを利益を得るための手段だと見ていると追加しました。 「これはピラミッドスキームがすぐに崩壊することを示している」と彼は警告しました。
ビットコインは、取り立ててみると2022年に多くのビットコインを摘発したことで知られる<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/11/29596887/us-department-of-justice-seizes-3-36b-in-bitcoin-from-silk-road-dark-web-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">悪名高いダークウェブのシルクロードオンラインマーケットプレイス</a>の件でも政府当局に押収される可能性があります。

ETFで<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a>を保有することは、それをまず最初に保有するという目的を全く無力化してしまう。それはもはや非中央集権的ではないし、ピアツーピアでもない。それは当局に簡単に押収されてしまうし、支払いのための通貨として使うこともできず、国境を越えて送金することもできない。それはあなたの鍵、あなたのコインではない。

ブルームバーグのETFアナリストエリック・バルチュナス氏は、Schiff氏の発言を公正だと見なしました。しかし、機知に富んだ返答で、バルチュナス氏は同じ論理がSchiff氏が強く支持する資産である金の価格を追跡するETFに適用すべきか？と疑問を投げかけました。 「金を追跡するETFに対するモットーは「自分の金庫に入っていない金ではない」ということだろうか」とバルチュナス氏は問いかけました。
米国を拠点とするビットコインETFは、8月6日時点で総額1億4856万ドルのネット流出を記録しています。これは、Soso Valueのデータによるものです。Grayscale Bitcoin Trust（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>）は3218万ドル、Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund（BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>）は6448万ドルの資産を失いました。
なぜ重要なのか： Schiff氏の批判は、ビットコインにとって波乱の時期の中で起きています。最近、この仮想通貨の価格が5万ドルを下回ると大きな議論が巻き起こりました。
Schiff氏は、ビットコインが7月の安値を下回った場合、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40195646/bitcoin-rebounds-after-plunge-as-peter-schiff-warns-of-crypto-graveyard">「暗号の墓場」</a>という潜在的な未来があると警告し、その際には大量のビットコインETFが売却されることを予測しました。 彼のコメントにより、新しいお金は各国に採用される前には低いボラティリティを持たなければならないとする意見がいくつかのコメントとともに、ビットコインの価値と安定性についての議論も巻き起こりました。
株価の行動： 本稿執筆時点では、ビットコインの価格は8万321ドルで、過去24時間で1.51%上昇しています。これはBenzinga Proのデータによるものです。。
