<li>Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller says he's "a big advocate of stablecoins"</li>
<li>Voicing his support for stablecoin acts like the GENIUS act and the STABLE act, he says he sees no need for the government to develop a coin of its own</li>
<li>"I prefer to let the private sector handle these problems," he told audiences at a NY Fed event</li>
</ul>
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that he's a fan of stablecoins and believes they have a place in the payment system, but does not see the need for the government to adopt one of their own.&nbsp;
"I&#8217;ll say I&#8217;m a personal, big advocate of stablecoins. I have been saying this for over three-plus years now, about how this could bring competition, efficiency and speed into the payments system,&#8221; he told audience members at a conference held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Friday, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/feds-waller-stablecoins-bring-benefits-payment-system-2025-04-04/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to have a stable price. Their value is attached to that of another asset, like gold or a government-issued currency, in order to maintain a more consistent value. Originally designed to help bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, there are currently around 200 globally distributed stablecoins on the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recently, two stablecoin-oriented bills have been working their way through Congress. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/394/text/is">GENIUS Act of 2025</a>, and the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2392/text/ih?overview=closed&amp;format=xml">STABLE Act of 2025</a>, both seek to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins. The difference between the bills lies in their scope and approach, but the passing of either one would increase the chances of Congress passing a law certifying stablecoins as a global financial tool.&nbsp;

Thus far, stablecoin legislation has received bipartisan support. But Waller said Friday that he saw no need for the government to create its own stablecoin should either of the bills pass. "I prefer to let the private sector solve these problems,&#8221; Reuters quoted him as saying. &#8220;It&#8217;s not my job as an unelected bureaucrat to tell everybody how they should do things."
As for the concerns that tons of new stablecoins will flood the market should the legislation pass, Waller said watchers shouldn't worry. "I don't think… there's going to be 100 stablecoins circulating after the legislation happens." Though two companies, Tether and Codex, have already indicated that they will make moves to establish their own stablecoins in the US as soon as there are regulations firmly in place, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1b3cccad-ad33-4dd9-b2b6-1514f80e39ad">Financial Times</a> and <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/04/04/codex-seed-round-dragonfly-coinbase-circle-15-8-million/">Fortune</a>.&nbsp;
Waller's stance on crypto aligns with President Donald Trump's, who promised last month to make the US "the crypto capital of the world."&nbsp;

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blasted President Donald Trump over his tariff policy last week, warning that it could result in serious economic damage for American families. She also invoked Republican icon Ronald Reagan to drive home her point.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Referencing Reagan</h2>
To reinforce her message, Pelosi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44269552/ronald-reagan-warned-that-tariffs-destroy-prosperity-trump-is-doubling-them-anyway-and-now-us-tech-giants-like-apple-and-nvidia-are-bracing-for-impact">quoted Reagan</a>: &#8220;We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends – weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world – all while cynically waving the American flag.&#8221; She added, &#8220;President Reagan's words were true then and they're true today.&#8221;
She also urged Republicans in Congress to reconsider their support for Trump's trade agenda.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Medicaid Cuts and Tax Breaks for Billionaires</h2>
Just weeks earlier, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43612979/nancy-pelosi-says-extreme-maga-republicans-have-revealed-their-tax-scam-to-plunder-medicaid-for-giving-tax-cuts-to-billionaires">Pelosi took aim</a> at what she called a &#8220;tax scam&#8221; by &#8220;extreme MAGA Republicans&#8221; that she claims is designed to slash Medicaid in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

&#8220;Extreme MAGA Republicans revealed their tax scam to raid Medicaid to give more tax cuts to billionaires,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/TeamPelosi/status/1889100925673054462">shared</a> on X. &#8220;But we can stop them! We&#8217;ve done it before — we saved Social Security in 2006, the Affordable Care Act in 2018 and we&#8217;ll stop them now to save the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid.&#8221;
Pelosi described Republican efforts in Congress as &#8220;unbearable for people on Medicare and Medicaid,&#8221; and called for public pressure to stop the cuts, urging &#8220;outside mobilization.&#8221;
The Trump administration&#8217;s agenda has been stalled in Congress because of internal Republican disagreements on how deep the cuts to Medicaid should go.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Context and Fallout</h2>
The debate over tariffs and spending cuts comes amid other major moves by the Trump administration. A temporary freeze on federal grants and loans has put $3 trillion in funding under review.

The Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, has also begun auditing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, with Musk claiming there is &#8220;big money fraud&#8221; in the system. The agency is under pressure to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending.

'Trump's Tariffs Will Drain Retirement Savings, Push Us To The Brink Of Recession,' Says Nancy Pelosi While Quoting Ronald Reagan

You may want that new car. The smell, the shine, the 0% financing—what's not to love?
But Dave Ramsey just reminded everyone why that shiny $72,000 BMW might actually be torching your financial future. In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16FzUzF3Aa/?mibextid=wwXIfr">viral Facebook post</a>, he dropped a meme featuring Adam Sandler green-screened into a car dealership, shaking his head, saying "No, no, no, don't say that," before punching a wall in frustration. The caption?
"When you're trading in your $72K BMW and the dealer offers you $17K but you still owe $49K on it."

</ul>
And Ramsey didn't stop there. He followed it up with a caption that hits harder than a monthly payment:
"That $72,000 BMW isn't just costing you a car payment. It's costing you your future."
He's not exaggerating. <a href="https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/average-car-loan-interest-rates-by-credit-score/">According to Experian</a>, the average new car loan now clocks in at $40,927, with monthly payments pushing $734 for 68.4 months. Meanwhile, car values plummet the second you drive off the lot.&nbsp;
"Let me break it down: Open your car window on the way to work once a week and toss out a $100 bill. That's what driving a new car really costs you."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Invest in the Future of Digital Engagement. Own a Piece of the $100 Billion Metaverse Today for Just $500.</a>
He's not just talking about luxury vehicles, either. Even a "reasonable" $28,000 new car will lose around $17,000 in value over four years. That's about $100 a week in pure depreciation—money that vanishes whether you're financing at 7% or zero.
Ramsey's take on 0% interest? Not impressed."Even 0% interest isn't a deal. It's a distraction from the $17K you just lost in depreciation. You didn't get a car. You got taken."
Here's his rule: "No, you can't afford a new car <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44389799/why-dave-ramsey-says-your-typical-millionaire-may-look-just-like-your-next-door-neighbor">unless you are a millionaire</a> and can, therefore, afford to lose thousands of dollars, all in the name of the neat new-car smell."
He's not saying you'll never own a new car. But if dropping tens of thousands without blinking isn't an option, you're not ready for that kind of luxury.&nbsp;
"Until you have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42122576/dave-ramsey-guarantees-if-you-have-a-car-payment-you-will-be-broke-your-whole-life-heres-how-he-says-you-can-become-rich">so much money you can lose big bucks</a> and not notice, you can't afford the luxury."

Want to know what most millionaires drive? It's not a brand-new German badge with 48 payments attached.
"Most millionaires drive two-year-old used cars with no payments—not because they're too cheap to buy new, but because they know how money works."
And that's the real lesson. You might think you're buying freedom, style, status—but if you're not careful, you're buying debt, depreciation, and regret.
So before you fall for the 0% APR pitch, remember what Ramsey said. You didn't get a deal. You got taken.

Dave Ramsey Says If You Want To Know What Driving A New Car Really Costs, 'Open Your Car Window Once A Week And Toss Out A $100 Bill'

BofA Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler downgraded Cboe Global Markets Inc. (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) from Buy to Neutral, lowering the price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CBOE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">target to $227 from $260</a>.
The analyst noted that while the broader diversified financials sector has declined 10% year-to-date amid the growing tariff dispute, CBOE Global Markets has stood out by delivering a 5% return —outperforming its peers by about 15%.
This strong performance, according to Siegenthaler, is largely attributed to CBOE&#8217;s defensive business model, which tends to benefit during periods of heightened market volatility and increased trading volumes.
However, despite the solid year-to-date gains, the analyst expressed caution going forward.

The stock's recent outperformance has led to a &#8220;higher relative valuation&#8221; compared to peers.
Siegenthaler pointed out that CBOE&#8217;s next 12 months, or NTM price-to-earnings ratio, has increased by 2% so far this year, while the average PE multiple for the broader diversified financials sector has dropped by 13%. As a result, CBOE now appears about 15% more expensive compared to its peers on a relative valuation basis.
The analyst also pointed to potential deceleration in trading volumes during the second half of 2025, which could weigh on future performance.
Siegenthaler writes that the first half of 2025 will likely mark the cyclical peak for exchange volumes, with a significant decline expected in the second half.
The analyst projects a 6% drop in volumes from the first to the second half of the year, and only a 7% year-over-year increase in total options volume for 2H25.
The analyst is especially concerned about the retail trading segment, where participation may fall due to poor investor performance so far this year.
Siegenthaler lowered earnings estimates for the second half of 2025 and the following years.
The new projections are $4.60 for the second half of 2025, $9.89 for 2026, and $11.37 for 2027 — down from previous estimates of $5.07, $11.16, and $12.99, respectively.
CBOE Price Action: CBOE shares closed Thursday up 2.05% to $210.02.

CBOE Loses Its Edge? Analyst Downgrades Stock On Valuation Worries, Volume Slowdown

Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney upgraded BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWA#NYSE">BWA</a>) from Neutral to Buy, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BWA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $34</a>.
Per Delaney, BorgWarner has a below-average level of U.S. imports, which means it faces relatively limited risk from ongoing or future tariffs.
In contrast to many Western suppliers that have struggled in China due to an unfavorable customer mix, BorgWarner stands out with a stronger positioning in the region.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44746593/goldman-sachs-hits-the-brakes-auto-tariffs-slumping-demand-may-shake-up-ford-tesla-rivian-lear-visteon" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goldman Sachs Hits The Brakes: Auto Tariffs &amp; Slumping Demand May Shake Up Ford, Tesla, Rivian, Lear &amp; Visteon</a>
Around 20% of the company's total revenue comes from China, and approximately 75% is tied to domestic Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). About 90% of its eProduct business in China is also linked to these domestic OEMs.
Delaney highlighted that BorgWarner's hybrid and internal combustion engine products are expected to have a longer runway, and the company's broad portfolio—which includes products for all powertrain types—positions it well to navigate evolving market trends.
The analyst also highlighted that BorgWarner has a number of upcoming product launches with domestic Chinese auto OEMs, further strengthening its foothold in this key market.
With higher content per vehicle opportunities in both hybrid and battery electric vehicles, BorgWarner is expected to benefit from the rising share of hybrid volumes in the near to medium term.
While its eProduct division is still operating at a loss, the analyst stated that ongoing restructuring efforts, coupled with long-term growth, will help the company move toward profitability.
Price Action: BWA shares closed lower by 4.54% to $25.67 on Thursday.

What Analysts Are Saying About Addus HomeCare Stock

In the current market session, Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>) stock price is at $164.31, after a 3.75% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 2.04%, and in the past year, by 48.85%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>A Look at Interactive Brokers Group P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.84 in the Capital Markets industry, Interactive Brokers Group Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 24.63. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Interactive Brokers Group Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744322460_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

The Analyst Verdict: Dana In The Eyes Of 7 Experts

BofA Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes reiterated a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WMT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating</a> on the shares of Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) with a price forecast of $120.00.
At the Investment Community Meeting in Dallas, the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44711688/walmart-maintains-steady-growth-forecast-despite-tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance</a>, initially shared during its fourth-quarter results in February.
While the sales outlook for the first quarter remains intact, Walmart has adjusted its EBIT growth projection for the period to reflect a wider range.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44703031/this-beverage-maker-tobacco-company-and-packaged-food-giant-outshine-in-a-recession" rel="noreferrer noopener">This Beverage Maker, Tobacco Company And Packaged Food Giant Outshine In A Recession</a>
This revision comes amid a weaker product mix early in the quarter, particularly in general merchandise, although trends improved as the quarter progressed.
Additionally, the company is accounting for roughly $200 million in increased casualty-related costs and aims to preserve the ability to adjust pricing strategies in response to potential tariff impacts, which could support accelerated market share growth, said the analyst.
The analyst opined that despite ongoing ambiguity surrounding the scale and rollout of new tariffs, WMT appears better equipped than many peers to manage potential fallout.
The retailer highlighted that more than two-thirds of its U.S. merchandise is sourced domestically. For the rest, China and Mexico represent its primary import partners.
Walmart's strong supplier network, pricing and automation systems, along with efficient inventory management, offer meaningful strategic advantages.
Early-stage growth engines are also beginning to take effect including improved profitability in e-commerce, expansion in digital advertising and Marketplace, pharmacy delivery services, continued momentum in India through Flipkart, and gains at Sam's Club in both the U.S. and China.
Importantly, Walmart has not seen any notable anti-American sentiment across its international markets such as Walmex and Sam's Club China, further supporting its global positioning, noted the analyst.
Walmart's digital advertising revenue, which reached $4.4 billion in fiscal 2025, continues to grow despite economic headwinds. The company benefits from its large omni-channel footprint and increasing third-party marketplace participation.
Walmart's U.S. e-commerce segment turned profitable in the first quarter and is expected to remain profitable throughout the year.
With plans to reach 95% of U.S. households with same-day delivery and expand ultra-fast service, Walmart is also seeing strong gains from digital ads, fintech, automation, and membership programs, the analyst observed.
Price Action: WMT shares closed at $90.61 on Thursday.

Stocks staged a ferocious <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44720903/nasdaq-100-eyes-strongest-day-since-2008-as-magnificent-seven-add-15-trillion-in-historic-market-rally">rally</a> on Wednesday after President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729384/trump-pauses-tariffs-after-yields-surge-bond-vigilantes-hit-another-homerun-experts-point-to-bond-market-panic-for-reversal">reversed his ‘reciprocal' tariff policy</a> in response to plummeting markets and alarming bond market activity. 
While most countries are now exempt from the steepest import taxes, a 10% flat tariff remains in effect, and the tariffs on China have increased to 145%.
However, bond yields remain high, and stocks remain significantly below the all-time highs set in February, then fell again on Wednesday. Uncertainty continues to dominate the markets, and the risk of recession remains elevated.
It&#8217;s a great time to invest in dividends rather than capital gains. You can do that while still investing in tech stocks.
Here are five great tech stocks paying huge dividends.
Now, tech stocks aren't usually considered dividend payers, but there are a few with relatively sturdy payouts that investors can use to ride out this storm of uncertainty.
Today, we've compiled a list of four tech companies that have been raising their dividend payouts for at least 10 years. Each company has a dividend yield of at least 2%, a manageable payout rate, fair valuation, and a path to avoiding the most stringent tariffs currently being levied on China.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avnet Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Avnet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVT#NASDAQ">AVT</a>) is a distributor of electronic components, including semiconductors, active and passive components, and other electromechanical parts, as well as design solutions and technical training. The company operates on every continent except Antarctica and is the largest chip distributor in Europe. Avnet's vast market reach should help it avoid the worst of the tariffs, and its valuation looks appealing following a rough showing in 2024.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcmcfLl3ZsWWHoGtw6seHhwWx95e7BOQptusKU6TvTEPpdOGv-20E1IHbachpysrHEXFOZ-p49dyxIX1H8kAmlmUaMxLnRWNPylAaClRBflOb2ddtsMzixfSGXQB60-0pBxMRyz?key=2e8fRf9pKK3lM-HifJLKLjPq" alt="" /></figure>
AVT shares are still underwater for 2025, but the stock trades at just 8.3 times forward earnings with a 0.18 Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio. The dividend yield is currently 3.17%, and the payout rate is just 37%. Avnet has raised its annual dividend payout for 12 consecutive years and the 12% annualized growth rate over the last three years. The stock also has a 91.81 Value score from Benzinga Edge ratings, indicating a potentially undervalued company with a steady dividend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cisco Systems</h2>
Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) was the poster child of the dot-com bubble excess as its market cap rose above $500 billion by the turn of the millennium &#8211; a number it's never come close to reaching in the two-plus decades since. It's also been 25 years since the stock made a new all-time high over $77 per share (split-adjusted), although it came close in January this year when shares topped $66. Cisco will never dominate the tech landscape like it did during the dot-com years, but that doesn't mean it&#8217;s still an uninvestable company.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe5fyzjG6ZB1JA5EMH2BVYHKTjMKC4q4JXlzZ3QaOcIdU6E-qoe_28yCwg-P_QCmTOtPBSwPtFXGwUhEgSqtP_SwP43WBoa5sUMgEQbFuuLowQNwHAyiQ_PRzm95261khbqW2tIXA?key=2e8fRf9pKK3lM-HifJLKLjPq" alt="" /></figure>
Cisco currently yields 3.08% with a 12-year history of raising annual payouts. The dividend payout rate (DPR) is relatively high at 71%, but it&#8217;s still sustainable for a company that sells as much high-margin software as Cisco. The company posted more than $54 billion in sales in the last 12 months but still trades at just 14.6 times forward earnings.
With a focus on cybersecurity software over hardware, the company should be minimally impacted by the China tariffs. Analysts have a consensus Buy rating on the stock with an average price target of $63.43, including an $80 price target from Rosenblatt issued on February 13.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Qualcomm Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) is an example of a remarkable turnaround story in the market. Like Cisco, Qualcomm was a dot-com darling that rose to unsustainable heights during the bubble. Once the bubble popped in late 2000, Qualcomm shares plummeted and continued making new lows until the great financial crisis in November 2008. However, the stock rallied in the decade following the GFC and finally topped its dot-com bubble high in early 2019.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc8M0O3izmpY0oKP52vW_Zmz8ljLYJGnyPblxrxL1wCSPo-UmEhwolQsyR5FlAdJehJ9CtZ7sYl7wEhwv_aha7Z66xu_7XO7ioj7rRMJejhIhXA_223nVSvzV5Jz4NyCJCRd6Kp?key=2e8fRf9pKK3lM-HifJLKLjPq" alt="" /></figure>
Qualcomm's focus is on the development and licensing of wireless tech and chips for smartphones. Qualcomm products can be found in nearly every wireless device, and it does more than $40 billion in annual sales. QCOM shares also have a strong and steady dividend, yielding 2.73% with a manageable 36% payout rate. The company has a 22-year history of dividend increases, including a 7% annualized growth rate over the last three years. An affordable valuation backs the dividend; the stock trades at just 11.7 times forward earnings with impressive margins (26% profit margin in the most recent quarter).
Analysts are also bullish, with a $195 average price target indicating an upside potential of 35%. Benzinga Edge also gives Qualcomm a 91.82 Value score, the highest of today's selections.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGS#NASDAQ">CSGS</a>) runs a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform specializing in financial management and customer experience solutions.

The company has solid margins (47% gross margin last quarter) and trades at just 12 times forward earnings.

Small and mid-cap companies are usually known for substantial dividends, but CSG Systems is an exception. The stock currently yields 2.13% and has a healthy 42% dividend payout rate. Despite its relatively small stature, CSGS has raised its annual payout for 12 consecutive years with a 6.3% annualized growth rate over the last three.
Unlike the rest of the market, CSGS shares are still positive year-to-date, including an impressive 17% gain over the last three months. Even during the worst of the tariff tantrum, the stock only dropped from $61 to $56 before rebounding back above $60 when the tariffs were withdrawn. This stability during the madness is likely why CSGS scored a 90.51 Momentum ranking from Benzinga Edge &#8211; shareholders barely noticed the disturbance!
