ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/06/39294523/cathie-wood-ark-invest-set-new-2-600-price-target-for-tesla-every-car-becomes-an-ai-powered-c">maintains her ambitious $2,600 price target</a> for Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) by 2029—valuing the company at over $9 trillion—despite the stock&#8217;s near 41% decline since the beginning of the year.
&#8220;It&#8217;s winner take most,&#8221; Wood said of Tesla&#8217;s position in the autonomous vehicle race during <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2025-03-11/cathie-wood-on-what-s-next-for-ai-tesla-big-tech-tsla?srnd=phx-markets">Bloomberg&#8217;s "Odd Lots" podcast</a>. &#8220;And we do believe that Tesla will be and is in the pole position here in the United States.&#8221;
Wood sees robotaxis as an $8 trillion to $10 trillion opportunity that could transform Tesla from an auto manufacturer to a software company. She predicts autonomous vehicles will boost Tesla&#8217;s gross margins from the current 16% to up to 90%, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/04/elon-musk-inventor-of-our-age-doge-distracted-cathie-wood-tesla-stock/">Fortune</a>.

</ul>
Wood's bullish outlook hasn&#8217;t translated into strong performance for her flagship $6 billion ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), where Tesla <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk">represents the largest holding at 10.74%</a>. The fund has gained just 2% over the past five years while the S&amp;P 500 has nearly doubled.&nbsp;
ARKK is down more than 16% year-to-date.
However, retail investors added nearly $300 million to ARKK on Monday—its largest single-day inflow in two years, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-11/arkk-fans-plow-300-million-into-battered-etf-despite-big-losses?embedded-checkout=true">according to Bloomberg</a>. It came despite the fund tumbling about 9% that day amid a broader market selloff.
Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co., told Bloomberg that retail investors are buying tech stocks as the sector has taken a beating this year. The &#8220;buy-the-dip&#8221; mentality is strong, according to Bloomberg, particularly among those seeking Tesla exposure.

Wood called Musk &#8220;the inventor of our age&#8221; and dismissed concerns that his role heading the Department of Government Efficiency would distract from Tesla. &#8220;He&#8217;s surrounded himself by businesspeople and engineers who want to work on the hardest projects in the world,&#8221; she said.
Beyond Tesla, Wood anticipates an &#8220;R&amp;D explosion in health care,&#8221; with CRISPR Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>) representing <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk">nearly 6% of ARKK&#8217;s portfolio</a>. She compared President Donald Trump&#8217;s second term to the &#8220;Reagan revolution,&#8221; calling that era &#8220;the heyday, golden age of active management.&#8221;
Despite Monday&#8217;s inflow, ARKK hasn&#8217;t seen a monthly net positive since December 2023, according to Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Bloomberg noted that many of ARKK&#8217;s top holdings from November 2021 remain unchanged, including Tesla, Roku (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>), Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), and Shopify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>)—none of which have kept pace with the broader market since then.

Cathie Wood Stands By Tesla's $2,600 Price Target Despite 40% Stock Drop: 'It's Winner Take Most

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
This week, U.S. stock markets tumbled into correction territory, with the S&amp;P 500 dropping over 10% from February highs. Investor fears surged over President Donald Trump's tariff hikes on Canadian steel and aluminum, fueling recession concerns and a potential global slowdown.
Consumer confidence plummeted, with the University of Michigan's index falling 11% to 57.9, its lowest since 2022. Trade tensions, government layoffs, and immigration restrictions stoked worries about reduced spending and a weakening job market.
Despite the turmoil, markets rebounded Friday, with the Dow Jones gaining over 200 points as utilities, tech, and energy stocks rallied. However, consumer staples and financials lagged, underscoring persistent economic uncertainty.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: DocuSign, Magnificent 7, Palantir — And Tariffs Keep Roiling Markets

Last year, Warren Buffett was criticized and mocked for sitting on a mountain of cash while markets surged. However, now, with stocks tumbling and recession fears mounting, the "Oracle of Omaha" suddenly looks like the only one who saw it coming.
What Happened: Berkshire Hathaway sold a staggering <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/44018996/buffetts-on-the-sidelines-should-you-follow">$134 billion worth</a> of stocks in 2024 — and barely touched the cash.
Buybacks were paused entirely in the second half, leaving Buffett's firm with a record-breaking <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43904932/warren-buffett-favors-5-treasury-bills-over-buybacks-as-berkshire-hathaways-cash-pile-surges-the-rate-of-change-thats-most-telling-says-lawrence-mcdonald">$334 billion cash reserve</a> by year's end. At the time, critics questioned his reluctance to reinvest as the S&amp;P 500 logged two consecutive years of 20%+ gains.

Now, those same critics are eating their words.
Buffett slashed his Apple Inc. stake from 49% to just 23% of Berkshire's portfolio and reduced holdings in Bank of America. Weeks later, markets began to unravel.

The Internet Is Paying Attention:
"There is only one billionaire in the top 10 whose net worth increased today: Warren Buffett," posted X user Dan Stone, sharing a screenshot of showing Buffett being the only one whose net worth increased by $607 million on March 10, 2025, amid a broader market decline

Another chimed in: "Just remember, there was a reason why Warren Buffett went $$340 billion cash. He knew."
Here are some other reactions:&nbsp;

On Threads, the reaction was even sharper. "Funny how just days before the recent stock market crash, Warren Buffett cashed out $334 billion in stocks," wrote one user. "Meanwhile, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon also sold hundreds of millions in shares. Coincidence? Or do they know something we don't?"
Another said, "Warren Buffett always knows when the collapse is coming because he's the first person they call when they need someone to bail them out."
Why It Matters: Economic uncertainty is growing, with President Donald Trump referring to the current state as "a period of transition" when asked about the likelihood of a recession.
Meanwhile, warning signs from the bond market are flashing, as investors increasingly favor short-term Treasuries amid expectations of interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44212386/stock-futures-drop-as-reverse-trump-trade-takes-holdpeter-schiff-says-market-shift-long-overdue-and-will-likely-continue-for-a-decade">rate cuts by the Federal Reserve</a>.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs have cautioned that a 5% hike in tariffs could slash corporate earnings by 1–2%, potentially leading to a 5% drop in the S&amp;P 500.
Still, Buffett remains optimistic about the future of U.S. businesses, reaffirming his confidence by saying, "A majority of any money I manage will always be in the United States."

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Sold $134 Billion In Stocks In 2024, Timing It Perfectly As Recession Fears Mount: The Internet Is In Awe

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly paused deliveries of Cybertruck after multiple owners complained that exterior metal panels were detaching.
What Happened: Tesla delivery agents have stated that all outbound Cybertruck shipments have been halted due to concerns that the adhesive used to attach the stainless steel panels is failing, <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/03/13/tesla-cybertruck-deliveries-are-on-hold-as-trims-are-flying-off-the-bulletproof-truck/">reported</a> Electrek.
Images shared by owners on social media show sharp-edged trim flapping in the wind and, in some cases, entire bumpers hanging loose.

Owners in colder climates, in particular, have been raising concerns for weeks, with some drivers filing complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Tesla has not issued an official statement addressing the reported defect or the delivery halt. The company has already recalled Cybertrucks for other issues, including accelerator pedals sticking and plastic trim pieces detaching during normal use.
Why It's Important: The Cybertruck, one of Tesla's most hyped vehicles, has faced a rocky rollout since its launch, with delays, recalls, and quality control concerns piling up.&nbsp;
In August 2024, YouTuber Cody Detwiler, known as WhistlinDiesel, drew widespread attention after subjecting a Cybertruck to a series of stress tests, revealing how easily the vehicle's exterior could be damaged.

</div>
</figure>
Additionally, the Cybertruck&#8217;s controversial design has impacted business for some owners. Yoni Menaker, a business owner, reported losing $70,000 in contracts due to customer aversion to the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44249300/tesla-cybertruck-owner-says-hes-lost-70k-in-business-over-backlash-customers-hate-it-but-he-loves-it-the-best-truck-ive-ever-had">vehicle&#8217;s appearance</a>.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk once touted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37306930/elon-musk-dubs-cybertruck-finest-in-apocalypse-defense-technology-after-ev-pickups-cameras-record-fa">Cybertruck as apocalypse-proof</a>, but ongoing quality issues may turn the bold EV into a reputational risk for the brand.
Last month, it was reported that the EV giant has been struggling with inventory buildup as Cybertruck units were seen accumulating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/44037023/tesla-cybertruck-inventory-swells-despite-discounts-falling-short-of-elon-musks-vision">outside Tesla&#8217;s Texas gigafactory</a>. This has led to aggressive discounting strategies to boost sales.
Price Action: Tesla shares closed at $249.98 on Friday, up 3.86% for the day. The stock is down 34.09% year to date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk's Tesla Halts Cybertruck Deliveries After Metal Panels Reportedly Fall Off — Owners Living In Cold Weather Say Glue Is Failing

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly facing internal turmoil as it <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44207932/apple-delays-next-gen-siri-its-going-to-take-us-longer-than-we-thought-to-deliver-ai-upgrades">struggles to fix major AI failures</a> in Siri, with a top executive calling the delays ugly and embarrassing after the company prematurely marketed features that weren't ready.
What Happened: During an all-hands meeting for Apple's Siri division, senior director Robby Walker acknowledged the frustration among employees over the repeated delays of key AI-powered Siri enhancements, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-14/apple-s-siri-chief-calls-ai-delays-ugly-and-embarrassing-promises-fixes">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.
"This was not one of those situations where we get to show people our plan after it's done," Walker told staff, referring to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39228141/apple-intelligence-what-to-expect-from-tim-cooks-wwdc-plans-for-bringing-ai-to-iphone-ipad-and-mac">Apple's demonstration of its AI features</a> at WWDC. "We showed people before."

Walker admitted that Apple's marketing team made the situation worse by promoting the upcoming Siri features in TV commercials and branding campaigns despite knowing they were not ready for launch.
Initially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39665558/apples-most-awaited-siri-ai-upgrade-will-not-come-until-2025-report">expected in early 2024</a>, the AI-powered Siri enhancements—designed to improve personal assistant functionality, data integration, and app control—have been repeatedly delayed due to performance issues.

Walker said Apple found that the features only worked properly two-thirds to 80% of the time, meaning they failed one out of every three attempts.
Apple now aims to roll out the improvements in iOS 19, but Walker warned that even this timeline is uncertain, citing competing priorities within Apple's software and hardware teams.
Why It's Important: The delays highlight Apple's ongoing struggles in AI, particularly as competitors like OpenAI, 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>) Google, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) advance rapidly.&nbsp;
Siri has lagged behind rivals, and these setbacks reinforce concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44068020/apples-ai-crisis-falling-behind-in-the-ai-race">Apple's ability to compete in the AI space</a>.
Apple's AI missteps come as the company faces a 12.45% stock decline year-to-date amid broader market struggles.
Earlier this week, Morgan Stanley raised concerns over Apple&#8217;s AI delay, cutting its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44284821/apple-stock-takes-a-bite-out-of-investors-as-siri-fumbles-ai-race">price target from $275 to $252</a>.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, in a bid to regain its footing, Apple has reportedly partnered with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) to enhance <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43655603/apple-finds-its-ai-wingman-in-alibaba-can-it-power-an-iphone-comeback-in-china">AI features in iPhones</a> for the Chinese market. This collaboration could be crucial for Apple&#8217;s efforts to reclaim market share in China.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock closed at $213.49 on Friday, rising 1.82% for the day. However, after-hours trading saw a slight decline of 0.094%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Continues To Offload UiPath, Roblox: Loads Up On GitLab, Ibotta

On Friday, Vice President JD Vance said <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43604572/jd-vance-quarterbacking-tiktok-deal-will-his-venture-capital-experience-secure-a-win">that a deal to keep</a> TikTok operating in the U.S. under American ownership is close to being finalized ahead of the April 5 deadline.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/jd-vance/vance-high-level-agreement-tiktok-april-5-deadline-rcna196410">interview</a> with NBC News aboard Air Force Two, Vance expressed optimism that a framework to create "a distinct American TikTok enterprise" will be in place, even if all the legal paperwork isn't completed by the deadline.
"There will almost certainly be a high-level agreement that I think satisfies our national security concerns," he said.

"The deal itself will be very clear, but actually creating those thousands and thousands of pages of legal documents, that's the one thing that I worry could slip," Vance added.
Why It's Important: The Joe Biden-era law requires TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app to a U.S. buyer or face a nationwide ban.

President Donald Trump, who issued a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44213698/us-courts-new-buyers-for-tiktok-as-deal-deadline-approaches-all-four-are-good-says-trump">75-day delay on enforcing</a> the ban upon taking office, tasked Vance and national security adviser Michael Waltz with facilitating the deal.
ByteDance has not confirmed any negotiations publicly, but several high-profile U.S. bidders, including Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and entrepreneur Reid Rasner, have expressed interest.
Previously, it was reported that discussions surrounding the sale of TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations had reached a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43511395/trump-pushes-for-tiktok-deal-china-could-oblige-if-it-werent-for-those-tariffs-heres-what-we-know">standstill with ByteDance</a> stalling negotiations as it awaited approval from Beijing.
China has reportedly taken a firm stance on the matter and may prefer allowing TikTok's U.S. branch to shut down rather than consenting to a sale unless Washington agrees to broader trade and technology concessions.

TikTok Ban Deadline Looms, But Vice President JD Vance Confirms 'High-Level' US Ownership Deal Is Nearly Done

Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43903365/apple-ditches-budget-smartphone-segment-with-iphone-16e-launch">newly released</a> iPhone 16e is off to a strong start, but analysts say it won't be enough to offset the tech giant's declining sales in China this year.
What Happened: According to IDC, sales of the iPhone 16e in its first three days were 60% higher than those of the third-generation iPhone SE launched in 2022, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-14/apple-s-iphone-16e-is-outselling-iphone-se-but-won-t-reverse-china-slide?cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-tech&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=tech&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&amp;utm_source=twitter">reported</a> Bloomberg.

However, the device features only a single rear camera, limited base storage, and lacks advanced AI capabilities — a disadvantage in China's competitive smartphone market.

IDC projects Apple's overall sales in China will fall about 2% in 2025. "The competition from Android will be even stronger, strengthened by the national China subsidies which will benefit Android significantly more than Apple," stated Nabila Popal, IDC's senior director.
While Apple plans to roll out its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43683976/apple-intelligence-rollout-in-china-and-europe-to-boost-iphone-sales-says-deepwaters-gene-munster">Apple Intelligence AI suite in China</a> later this year, that may not be enough to shift consumer sentiment, the report noted.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It's Important: Apple may find success elsewhere. IDC expects the iPhone 16e to account for up to 20% of iPhone sales in India in the second half of 2025.
Apple previously reported an 11% sales decline in China over the holiday period, with the iPhone likely a key contributor.
Apple reported $124.3 billion in revenue for its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">fiscal first quarter</a>, surpassing analysts&#8217; expectations of $124.13 billion. iPhone sales reached $69.14 billion, slightly lower than the $69.7 billion recorded in the same period last year.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock closed at $213.49 on Friday, rising 1.82% for the day. However, it edged down 0.094% in after-hours trading. Year to date, AAPL is down 12.45%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple's iPhone 16e Outsells iPhone SE By 60%, But Analysts Say It Won't Stop China Sales From Sliding In 2025

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has raised alarms about the United States&#8217; national debt, predicting an imminent crisis.
What Happened:&nbsp;According <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/12/national-debt-burden-ray-dalio-foreign-government-pressure/">to</a>&nbsp;a report by Fortune, Dalio expressed his concerns during his speech at the CONVERGE LIVE event in Singapore on Thursday.
Dalio highlighted a severe imbalance between supply and demand, noting that the debt-to-GDP ratio has reached 122%, surpassing the nation&#8217;s economic output. He warned that the U.S. might soon face difficulties selling its debt, as foreign investors like China and Japan are pulling back.
The&nbsp;Congressional Budget Office (CBO)&nbsp;projects that the debt ratio could escalate to 166% by 2054.
"We have a very severe supply and demand problem. Some people think we'll handle it because we've handled it so far. I don't think they understand the mechanics of debt," he said, according to the report.
Dalio emphasized that the U.S. will eventually need to sell debt that global markets may not be interested in purchasing, a scenario he described as &#8220;paramount importance.&#8221;
Dalio suggested that the current&nbsp;federal budget deficit of 7.2%&nbsp;of GDP is unsustainable, advocating for a reduction to around 3%.
He hinted at potential measures such as debt restructuring and political pressure on foreign governments to purchase U.S. debt.
Joao Gomes, a finance professor at Wharton Business School, echoed Dalio&#8217;s concerns, noting the declining interest from traditional debt buyers. He warned that if investors demand higher interest rates, it could lead to significant economic disruptions.
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s warnings are not new, but they are increasingly urgent.
In February, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43756938/ray-dalio-warns-of-looming-us-debt-crisis-says-america-faces-economic-heart-attack-without-fiscal-cuts">cautioned</a> that the U.S. faces an &#8220;economic heart attack&#8221; if fiscal cuts are not made, comparing the $36 trillion national debt to plaque in the financial system&#8217;s arteries.
He emphasized the need for fiscal responsibility, urging the government to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966706/ray-dalio-urges-trump-to-cut-deficits-to-3-of-gdp-within-three-years-or-let-the-economy-suffer">reduce deficits to 3% of GDP</a> within three years, or risk economic instability.
His systematic approach to understanding global economic cycles highlights debt as a critical factor, likening it to the circulatory system of financial markets.
The urgency of Dalio&#8217;s message is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44267663/ray-dalio-warns-us-debt-crisis-could-trigger-shocking-developments-calls-to-reduce-deficit-at-3-of-gdp">underscored</a> by the potential for &#8220;shocking developments&#8221; if the U.S. does not address its debt issues promptly.

Ray Dalio Has A Chilling Warning For President Trump: Debt Crisis Is Imminent, And An Issue Of 'Paramount Importance'

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of&nbsp;BitMEX, has projected a significant increase in Bitcoin&#8217;s value, anticipating it will reach $250,000 by the close of the year.
What Happened:&nbsp;Hayes suggests that the current downturn in the crypto market is a temporary setback, part of a natural cycle.
In a recent interview, Hayes explained that the market is experiencing a correction after Bitcoin&#8217;s surge from $20,000 to $110,000.
"This thing is a short-term pain. We're clearing out the deadwood. We had a great run from $20,000 to $110,000 on Bitcoin, essentially FTX low until TRUMP coin, and now we got a 30% correction. It's pretty normal for a bull market," he said.
"I think we're going to clear out all that deadwood, and I still believe that we could be $250,000 Bitcoin by the end of the year."
He emphasized that such corrections are typical in bull markets and are necessary to eliminate weak elements from the market. Hayes remains optimistic about Bitcoin&#8217;s potential, despite the current 30% correction.
"From Bitcoin's perspective, and overall market capitalization of crypto, I think we're going to be much higher by the end of the year than we are today."
Hayes also highlighted the role of increased monetary supply as a catalyst for Bitcoin&#8217;s growth.
He believes that governments will continue to print money to counteract economic challenges, which will, in turn, drive up the value of digital assets.
&#8220;We&nbsp;know the response. When there's&nbsp;financial distress, they always print&nbsp;money.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The prediction by Hayes aligns with other optimistic forecasts in the crypto space. Recently,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44317256/bitcoin-to-hit-250k-by-end-of-2025-tim-draper-predicts-will-be-the-dominant-currency-of-the-world">Tim Draper</a>, a venture capitalist known for his accurate Bitcoin predictions, reiterated his belief that Bitcoin would reach $250,000 by the end of 2025.
Draper has a history of making bold predictions, including a successful call for Bitcoin to hit $10,000 within three years back in 2014.
Additionally,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42719735/bitcoin-could-surge-past-250000-says-tom-lee-citing-btc-halving-cycles-and-us-government-adoption">Tom Lee</a>&nbsp;of Fundstrat has also pointed to Bitcoin's halving cycles and potential government adoption as factors that could propel Bitcoin past $250,000. Lee highlights the recent halving event as a key driver, noting that Bitcoin has already demonstrated significant growth, with its market capitalization nearly doubling in 2024.
Despite the current market correction, Hayes remains confident, urging investors to be patient.
In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44256405/arthur-hayes-be-patient-bitcoins-36-correction-is-just-another-bull-market-move">recent post</a>, he suggested that Bitcoin could find support around $70,000, a typical retracement level during bull markets. Hayes also anticipates a major stock market crash and the failure of a key financial institution before central banks intervene with liquidity measures.

Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Surge To $250,000 By Year-End, Says Current Downturn Is Clearing Out Deadwood: 'Short-Term Pain'

A highly secretive court hearing believed to be Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) appeal against a U.K. government demand for <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43996531/tulsi-gabbard-slams-uks-apple-encryption-demand-as-egregious-violation-of-americans-privacy-warns-of-cyber-threats">backdoor access</a> to its encrypted cloud systems took place Friday in London — with the public and media barred from attending.
What Happened: The BBC and other outlets reported that the hearing, listed only as "an application in private" at the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, centered on a controversial "technical capability notice" (TCN) issued to Apple by the British government.
The TCN reportedly requires the company to weaken its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43901425/apple-bows-out-of-uks-cloud-encryption-amid-governments-backdoor-demands">end-to-end encryption</a> protections, including Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, which Apple has since disabled for new users in the UK.
Neither Apple nor the UK government has confirmed the case or the existence of the order. Top government lawyer James Eadie, KC attended the hearing, reported Reuters.
A lawyer representing 10 media organizations, including Reuters and the BBC, petitioned for the case to be held in public, but no press or public access was granted. The court acknowledged the request but did not allow further arguments before the judges.

Why It's Important: The closed-door nature of the hearing has drawn criticism from civil liberties groups, who say the U.K.'s demand undermines global digital privacy.
It was "unacceptable and disproportionate," said Caroline Wilson Palow, legal director at Privacy International.
Privacy advocates warn the UK's move could violate international agreements, including the CLOUD Act, and set a dangerous precedent. U.S. officials have reportedly raised concerns, with President Donald Trump <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44069785/trump-blasts-uks-apple-encryption-order-warns-against-grave-privacy-violations-thats-something-you-hear-about-with-china">calling the request something</a> "you hear about in China."
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s shares ended Friday at $213.49, gaining 1.82% for the day. However, in after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.094%. Year to date, AAPL has declined 12.45%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Reportedly Fights UK Government's 'Unacceptable' Encryption Order Behind Closed Doors — No Press Or Public Allowed

NASA and&nbsp;Elon Musk-led SpaceX&nbsp;successfully launched a new&nbsp;crew to the International Space&nbsp;Station (ISS) on Friday, aiming to bring back U.S. astronauts&nbsp;Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have been on the ISS for an extended period of nine months.
What Happened: The launch occurred at 7:03 p.m. ET from NASA&#8217;s&nbsp;Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The&nbsp;SpaceX Falcon 9&nbsp;rocket carried four astronauts to replace Wilmore and Williams.
This&nbsp;mission is part of a&nbsp;crew rotation plan that was expedited due to political pressure from&nbsp;President Donald Trump&nbsp;and SpaceX CEO Musk.
The Crew-10 mission is essential for returning Wilmore and Williams to Earth. Initially, they were sent to the ISS aboard&nbsp;Boeing Co.&#8217;s&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) Starliner capsule in June.
The Crew-10 team comprises NASA astronauts&nbsp;Anne McClain&nbsp;and&nbsp;Nichole Ayers, Japanese astronaut&nbsp;Takuya Onishi, and Russian cosmonaut&nbsp;Kirill Peskov.
Upon reaching orbit, McClain introduced a plush origami crane as the mission&#8217;s microgravity indicator. The Crew-10 astronauts are expected to arrive at the ISS&nbsp;on Saturday at 11:30 p.m.&nbsp;ET.
Wilmore and Williams are scheduled&nbsp;to depart with two other astronauts on Sunday.
Why It Matters: The mission <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44296357/spacex-crew-10-astronaut-launch-to-bring-back-stuck-astronauts-delayed-due-to-hydraulics-issue-says-nasa">faced a delay</a> due to a hydraulics issue, which postponed the launch initially scheduled for Wednesday. This delay added to the challenges faced by SpaceX and NASA in the crew rotation process.
Earlier, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43877217/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-pegs-delay-in-returning-sunita-williams-and-butch-wilmore-from-space-station-to-political-reasons">attributed</a> the delay in returning Wilmore and Williams to &#8220;political reasons,&#8221; suggesting that the return was postponed past the inauguration date of former President Joe Biden.
However, Wilmore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43877217/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-pegs-delay-in-returning-sunita-williams-and-butch-wilmore-from-space-station-to-political-reasons">refuted these claims</a>, stating that politics did not play a role in the delay.
The mission&#8217;s success is crucial, especially after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40758526/boeing-starliner-returns-to-earth-without-sunita-williams-and-butch-wilmore-lands-in-new-mexico-afte">Boeing's Starliner returned</a> to Earth without crew due to technical issues.

NASA, SpaceX One Step Closer To Bring Back Astronauts Butch Wilmore, Sunita Williams Stranded Due To Boeing's Starliner Issues: Replacement Crew Launches Successfully

Canadian retailers continue to take a stand against U.S. products, starting with non-essential items such as alcohol. This move, driven by recent tariff disputes, is affecting various segments of the agricultural supply chain.
What Happened:&nbsp;Alisa Gorokhova, a resident from Quebec, observed a rapid shift in consumer behavior following tariff announcements, according <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/canadian-grocers-sideline-us-products-boycott-hit-us-agriculture-businesses-2025-3">to</a> a report by Business Insider.
&#8220;There&#8217;s suddenly &#8216;made in Canada&#8217;&nbsp;labels on things and American&nbsp;booze is gone from the&nbsp;shelves,&#8221; she mentioned, indicating a growing preference for Canadian-made products.
The boycott is a response to repeated tariff impositions by former President&nbsp;Donald Trump, including&nbsp;a 25% tax on Canadian&nbsp;steel and aluminum. Trump&#8217;s controversial remarks about Canada have further strained relations.
American businesses are feeling the&nbsp;impact.&nbsp;Ethan Frisch, CEO of&nbsp;Burlap &amp; Barrel, reported losing Canadian customers.
&#8220;We're&nbsp;not really sure how to&nbsp;handle this,&#8221; Frisch stated, as the boycott contradicts his company&#8217;s mission of supporting small farmers, according to the report.

Large Canadian grocery chains like&nbsp;Sobeys Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Metro Inc.&nbsp;are emphasizing local products. Sobeys, for instance, is working to reduce its reliance on U.S. goods, which previously accounted for 12% of sales.
Why It Matters: The trade tensions between the United States and Canada have escalated significantly.
Canada <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">imposed 25% tariffs</a> on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, including steel and aluminum, as a countermeasure to the Trump administration&#8217;s new duties.
This move was confirmed by Canadian Finance Minister&nbsp;Dominic LeBlanc, who stated that the tariffs would take effect immediately. The situation intensified when Canada announced additional tariffs on $30 billion of U.S. goods earlier in March.
Further complicating matters,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44344906/canadas-retaliatory-tariffs-against-us-draw-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnicks-ire-who-thinks-they-are-tone-deaf-">Canada&#8217;s retaliatory tariffs</a>&nbsp;have drawn criticism from U.S. Commerce Secretary&nbsp;Howard Lutnick, who described them as &#8220;tone deaf.&#8221;
Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44326649/does-canada-really-have-a-250-tariff-in-place-on-us-dairy-products-imported-into-canada-here-are-the-facts">claims of high tariffs</a>&nbsp;on U.S. dairy products have added to the tension, with President Trump accusing Canada of unfair trade practices.
Additionally,&nbsp;Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;has been affected, as its products were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44321211/tesla-charging-stations-cut-from-rebate-program-by-canadian-province-most-people-would-support-their-removal-from-subsidy-list-says-minister">excluded from rebates</a> in British Columbia amid these trade tensions.

Canadian Grocers Boycott US Products As Tariffs, Trump's Annexation Remarks Worsen Tensions: 'American Booze Is Gone From The Shelves'

A U.S. appeals court has permitted the Trump administration to temporarily enforce&nbsp;a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within federal agencies and businesses holding government contracts.
What Happened: A U.S. appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily enforce&nbsp;a ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)&nbsp;programs at federal agencies and&nbsp;businesses with government contracts.
According to&nbsp;a Reuters report, the Richmond-based&nbsp;4th U.S. Circuit Court of&nbsp;Appeals ruled on Friday that President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s directives, including an order for&nbsp;the Department of Justice to&nbsp;investigate DEI policies, are likely constitutional.
This decision overturns a previous ruling by a Maryland federal judge.
Two judges on the panel expressed disagreement with the substance of Trump&#8217;s orders, cautioning that implementing them might risk constitutional violations.
Circuit Judge Albert Diaz stated that DEI advocates deserve praise, while Circuit Judge Allison Rushing emphasized that personal opinions on DEI should not influence the case&#8217;s outcome.
The decision affected a lawsuit filed by the city of Baltimore and three groups, which remained in effect pending the Trump administration&#8217;s appeal.
The White House and Justice Department have not commented, while Democracy Forward, representing the plaintiffs, is reviewing the decision.
Trump&#8217;s orders aim to eliminate DEI initiatives, which he argues are discriminatory, from both government and private sectors.
Why It Matters: The ruling comes amid a broader political and policy shift affecting DEI initiatives.
Recently, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44200499/national-institutes-of-health-terminates-some-research-grants-amid-political-and-policy-shift">National Institutes of Health (NIH)</a>&nbsp;began cutting funding for research grants that do not align with agency priorities, specifically targeting studies on transgender populations and DEI.
Additionally, in January, President Trump controversially linked DEI policies to a tragic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43402439/trump-musk-blame-dei-for-plane-crash-authorities-look-at-staffing-congestion-for-answers-search-continues-after-41-bodies-found">plane crash</a>&nbsp;involving an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter, which resulted in 67 fatalities.
This incident further fueled the administration&#8217;s stance against DEI, as Trump suggested that staffing and regulatory changes influenced by DEI could have contributed to the crash.

Trump's Ban On DEI Programs Allowed For Now By Appeals Court

In a significant escalation of trade tensions,&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;has introduced retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., prompting criticism from&nbsp;Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The move follows the Trump administration&#8217;s recent trade measures targeting Canadian exports.
What Happened: Lutnick expressed dissatisfaction with Canada&#8217;s &#8220;tone deaf&#8221; approach in an interview ahead of a meeting with Canadian officials on Thursday.
Canada&#8217;s tariffs target $15.6 billion&nbsp;worth of U.S. steel and&nbsp;aluminum, mirroring the U.S. tariffs on metals. Additionally, Canada imposed tariffs on $14.2 billion worth of other goods, including tools, computers, and sports equipment.
Lutnick criticized these measures, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;put a tariff on steel&nbsp;and aluminum to make sure&nbsp;the dumping countries of the&nbsp;world stop&#8230;&nbsp;And what does Canada do?&nbsp;They put a tariff on&nbsp;sports equipment.&#8221;
"I mean really? This is just tone deaf," he said, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/14/commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-canada-trump-tariff-response-mexico-uk/">to</a> Fortune.
Lutnick defended the U.S. tariffs as necessary for national security, emphasizing the importance of domestically produced materials for defense purposes.
He accused Canada of relying heavily on the U.S. for protection while contributing less to NATO, citing Canada&#8217;s 2024 contribution of $30.5 billion compared to the U.S.&#8217;s $967 billion.
Despite the tensions, Ontario Premier Doug Ford described the meeting with Lutnick as &#8220;productive&#8221; and expressed optimism about future discussions. Both countries&#8217; tariffs remain in place, but Ford praised Lutnick&#8217;s business acumen and negotiation skills.
Why It Matters: The trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada have been escalating, with Canada announcing plans to impose 25% tariffs on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods.
This move <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">targets</a> a wide range of products, including steel, aluminum, and sports equipment. The Canadian response is a direct counter to the U.S. tariffs on metals, which were justified by the Trump administration on national security grounds.
Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has seen its products <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44321211/tesla-charging-stations-cut-from-rebate-program-by-canadian-province-most-people-would-support-their-removal-from-subsidy-list-says-minister">excluded</a> from rebates in British Columbia, a move linked to the ongoing trade tensions.
This exclusion affects Tesla&#8217;s electric vehicle charging stations and home batteries, highlighting the broader impact of the trade dispute on various industries.
Furthermore, the dairy sector has been a point of contention, with high tariffs on U.S. dairy products being a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44326649/does-canada-really-have-a-250-tariff-in-place-on-us-dairy-products-imported-into-canada-here-are-the-facts">longstanding issue</a>. These tariffs can reach up to 298.5% when U.S. exports exceed quotas set under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
