Cabinet Agrees To Lift Martial Law In South Korea

<a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/12/03/meta-facebook-nuclear-power-ai-data-centers">https://www.axios.com/2024/12/03/meta-facebook-nuclear-power-ai-data-centers</a>
&nbsp;
Facebook parent Meta is seeking developers that can bring nuclear reactors online starting in the early 2030s to support data centers and communities around them.
Why it matters: Meta is joining Amazon, Google and other tech giants in turning to nuclear generation to fuel energy-thirsty AI data centers with zero-carbon electrons.
Driving the news: The company <a href="https://sustainability.atmeta.com/blog/2024/12/03/accelerating-the-next-wave-of-nuclear-to-power-ai-innovation/">just announced</a> a "request for proposals" that targets a large pipeline — one to four gigawatts — of new generation.
<ul>
<li>It's seeking partners that can "help accelerate the availability of new nuclear generators and create sufficient scale to achieve material cost reductions by deploying multiple units," an RFP summary states.</li>
</ul>
The intrigue: While some tech players have unveiled nuclear deals with <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/14/google-nuclear-deal-power-ai">specific</a> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/16/amazon-invests-small-modular-nuclear">startups</a>, Meta is casting a wide net for now.
<ul>
<li>Meta's open to many ideas on the size and type of reactors, the locations and more, Urvi Parekh, Meta's head of global energy, said in an interview.</li>
<li>The company is hunting for parties "who are going to be there from the beginning to the end of a project" — that is, everything from finding real estate to permitting to design, construction finance, operation and more.</li>
</ul>
"We want to partner with those people today so that they can have the certainty that we're going to be there and that we can work with them to try to optimize this cycle, to make it scale faster," she said.
<ul>
<li>Meta is being "geographically agnostic," because places where reactors can be deployed the fastest may not tie into specific data center sites, she said.</li>
</ul>
The big picture: Meta is open to cost-sharing early in the development cycle, in addition to purchasing power when projects are online, Parekh said.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>"We want to be really open to creative solutions," she said.</li>
<li>Parekh noted that the project pipeline they're seeking to build is very large. Meta is hopeful that their approach can help overcome industry "hesitancy" to deploy capital needed for that much development.</li>
</ul>
Catch up quick: Meta has long invested in renewable power projects.
<ul>
<li>While nuclear is more heavily regulated and capital-intensive, she sees parallels to their corporate renewables contracting that began over a decade ago.</li>
<li>"There were a lot of steps in that process, and there was a lot of need for certainty that there would be someone to buy the electricity on the other side," Parekh said.</li>
</ul>
What's next: Meta is seeking initial responses by Feb. 7.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Axon Enterprise

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are to address the members of U.S. Congress on Thursday with regards to their plans for the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), drawing the attention of the crypto community to Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
What Happened: Crypto trader Bluntz encouraged his followers to get positioned in "either DOGE", referring to Dogecoin and the D.O.G.E. meme coin on Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ahead of Thursday&#8217;s discussion, hinting at the potential for significant price action following the event.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The D.O.G.E community anticipates this event to be a decisive moment, with implications for taxpayers and government efficiency. 
The discussion could potentially highlight divisions between those advocating for taxpayers' interests and those defending bureaucratic traditions.
The crypto community is buzzing with bullish speculation for the meme coins:

Why It Matters: The upcoming discussion could serve as a major catalyst for both Dogecoin and D.O.G.E prices. In the past month, D.O.G.E has rallied 682.3%, outperforming Dogecoin's 182.9%, fueled by optimism surrounding Donald Trump's electoral prospects and their potential impact on the meme coins.

MatterFi on Tuesday announced the launch of its decentralized financial platform, designed to secure digital transactions against phishing and other cyber threats while simplifying usability for enterprises and consumers. 
The launch follows a six-month beta phase aimed at testing the platform's capacity to provide secure and efficient financial operations.
The platform's Send-to-Name solution enables users to complete transactions without relying on traditional wallet addresses, replacing them with cryptographic proofs to mitigate risks such as phishing, hacking, SIM swaps, and money laundering. 
MatterFi's system eliminates the need for passwords or logins while maintaining privacy between transacting parties.
MatterFi supports integration with software wallets, hardware wallets and AI agents.
The infrastructure is chain-agnostic and adheres to AML/KYC requirements, with decentralized identities available for transactions. 
The platform also aims to improve accessibility, drawing on design principles found in traditional financial applications like PayPal and Revolut.

"Adoption of decentralized financial technologies has been slowed by concerns about security risks and complexity," said Michael "Mehow" Pospieszalski, MatterFi's founder. "We aim to address these concerns while enabling secure and compliant transactions."
The launch comes amid a rise in cyber threats targeting financial systems. 
A BBB Scam Tracker report indicates that phishing attacks increased by 150% in 2024, with 80% of scam targets losing funds. 
MatterFi's system is designed to address these vulnerabilities, which have been exacerbated by the growing integration of AI into financial operations.
By offering a security-focused infrastructure, MatterFi seeks to enable organizations to integrate decentralized technologies into their services while meeting regulatory requirements.

MatterFi Introduces Infrastructure To Address Phishing, Cybersecurity Risks In Digital Finance

Art Cashin, Wall Street legend and UBS director of floor operations at the New York Stock Exchange, died on Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42277474/wall-street-loses-iconic-voice-art-cashin-dies-at-83">at 83 years old.&nbsp;</a>
Cashin was a respected Wall Street fixture for more than 60 years and an enduring presence on CNBC for over 25 years. Cashin delivered daily stock market commentary in &#8220;Cashin&#8217;s Comments&#8221; in which he made complex market events and trends relatable to investors of all levels.
Bob Pisani, Cashin's friend and CNBC reporter, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/02/art-cashin-new-york-stock-exchange-fixture-for-decades-dies-at-age-83.html">described him</a> as "that rarest of creatures: a man respected by all, bulls and bears, liberals and conservatives alike" and "a great drinker and raconteur, a teller of stories."&nbsp;

Barry Ritholtz, chief investment officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management LLC, shared a story Cashin told over dinner about trading as tensions ran high during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Cashin said word was spreading that Russia had launched nuclear missiles towards the United States, which were due to strike in 11 minutes.&nbsp;
Cashin ran around the trading floor trying to sell short, but was unable to. Time passed without a missile strike and Cashin later told his boss about the events of the day. His boss told him that in the event of the end of the world, the proper trade is to go long.&nbsp;
"He asked his boss, ‘Why go long if the world is ending?' ‘It never does end,' his boss told him, and even if it does, ‘who are you going to settle the trade with?'" Ritholtz <a href="https://x.com/Ritholtz/status/1240358125359816704">recounted</a> while sharing Cashin's story.
Cashin seemed to have learned a valuable lesson from that boss and was later quoted giving similar advice.&nbsp;
&#8220;You never bet on the end of the world, that only happens once, and the odds of something that happens once in an eternity are pretty long,&#8221;&nbsp;Cashin said.&nbsp;
Here are more bits of humor and wisdom from Wall Street legend Art Cashin:&nbsp;
"If your birthday is coming and you hope for a pony, any gift makes you happy.&nbsp; But if you expect a pony, you better get a pony."
&#8220;Today is a waste of cab fare and a clean shirt," Cashin said on a low trading volume day.&nbsp;
"How do I like my steak? As long as it&#8217;s not through my heart, anyway is okay.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&#8220;You do not survive in the business for 50 years if you do not find out where the exit signs are at the minute you enter a room,&#8221; Cashin said.&nbsp;

Art Cashin's Lessons: Cuban Crisis Trades To Timeless Wall Street Wit

Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins has surfaced as a top contender to succeed Gary Gensler as chair of the U.S. <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">Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a>.
What Happened: With his reputation for regulatory pragmatism and extensive experience, Atkins is seen as a potential game-changer for the financial services industry, particularly for the crypto sector.
Atkins, founder and CEO of Patomak Global Partners, a consulting firm specializing in risk management and regulatory compliance, is reportedly hesitant to accept the role.
A source close to Atkins&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/12/03/trumps-top-sec-chair-pick-paul-atkins-reluctant-to-take-job-source" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a>&nbsp;Coindesk that his reluctance stems from the significant effort required to reform what he sees as a bloated and mismanaged agency under Gensler's tenure.
His reluctance aligns with sentiments expressed by former Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Chris Giancarlo, who has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42221726/crypto-dad-chris-giancarlo-advocates-for-passing-crypto-regulation-from-the-sec-to-another-commission-heres-why"> publicly advocated for Atkins</a> but previously declined to pursue the position himself.
"His breadth of experience, proven leadership, as well as commitment to innovation should bring a balanced and forward-thinking culture back to the Commission," said George Georgiades, General Counsel at Borderless.xyz, speaking to Benzinga.
"We look forward to engaging with him to collaboratively develop a clear and effective regulatory framework that supports innovation."
Atkins was recently seen at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, where sources suggest he participated in interviews for the role over the weekend.
His past tenure as an SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008, under President George W. Bush, and his subsequent work at Patomak have cemented his standing within conservative financial circles.
During his time at the SEC, he worked closely with Mark Uyeda and Hester Peirce, who now serve as commissioners and are also being considered for the role.
Atkins' potential appointment comes at a critical juncture for the SEC. Under Gensler, the agency faced criticism for its enforcement-heavy approach to cryptocurrency regulation, creating uncertainty in a rapidly evolving market.
Industry leaders are hopeful that Atkins' leadership could foster a more collaborative regulatory environment.
Paul Atkins is a conservative, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42221293/donald-trump-eyes-former-sec-comissioner-paul-atkins-as-gary-genslers-successor">former SEC commissioner</a> and proponent for regulatory clarity in crypto, Joe McCann, founder and CEO of Asymmetric told Benzinga.
He further highlighted that Atkins was the first Libertarian to ever serve in the SEC which very much aligns with most Bitcoin and crypto proponents. Atkins appointment will bring &#8220;common sense&#8221; to crypto regulations but actually providing it, something the industry has been asking the SEC of for years now, McCann said.

What&#8217;s Next: Atkins' decision to accept the role may hinge on his ability to ensure the continuity of his consulting firm.
Sources suggest he would only step away from Patomak once it is well-positioned to operate without his direct involvement.
Atkins' connections within conservative circles also add weight to his candidacy.
He is reportedly on friendly terms with Scott Bessent, founder of Key Square Group and President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Treasury Secretary.
These relationships could enhance coordination across financial policy initiatives under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269038/crypto-faces-regulatory-shift-as-gensler-exits-and-trump-prepares-to-overhaul-sec-approach">the new administration</a>.

Paul Atkins Reportedly Tapped For SEC Chair Under Trump Administration

Nebius Group shares are trading higher following bullish comments on the stock from Citron Research.

General Motors Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. They may also be breaking support.
Stocks that break support tend to head lower and that could be the case here. This is why our team of technical analysts have made it our Stock of the Day.
Some analysts don't understand technical analysis. They try to identify patterns on charts without understanding the price action that causes them to form.
If understood and applied correctly, technical analysis is the study of supply and demand in a market.
If a stock is trending lower, there isn't enough demand, or buy orders, to absorb all of the supply, or sell orders. As a result, investors and traders who wish to sell are forced to offer their shares at a discount to draw buyers into the market.
This forces the shares into a downtrend.
When a stock drops to a support level, the situation changes. There is enough demand to absorb all of the supply. People can sell as many shares as they wish without worrying about pushing the price lower.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="569" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03144950/GM.12.2024-1024x569.png" alt="" class="wp-image-675234" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03144950/GM.12.2024-1024x569.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03144950/GM.12.2024-300x167.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03144950/GM.12.2024-768x427.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/03144950/GM.12.2024.png 1459w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

As you can see on the chart, the $55 level has been well-defined support for General Motors since the beginning of November. But this support may be breaking.
If a stock trades below what had been support, traders say the support has been &#8220;broken.&#8221; This isn't just symbolic. It illustrates an important market dynamic.
It shows that the investors and traders who created the support with their buy orders are gone. They have finished or canceled their orders. Either way, they have left the market.
With this large amount of demand or buy orders out of the way, the stage could be set for a new downtrend to form. In order to draw buyers back into the market, traders will once again be forced to offer their shares at a discount to get buyers interested.
This is why stocks tend to head lower after support levels are broken. A new downtrend may be forming in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GM">General Motors</a>.
