President Donald Trump pardoned approximately 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants on Monday, marking his first major executive action after being sworn in as president and fulfilling a key campaign promise to release those he repeatedly called &#8220;hostages.&#8221;
The sweeping clemency includes prominent Proud Boys leaders, with former chief Enrique Tarrio expected to be released from his 22-year seditious conspiracy sentence, according to his attorney Nayib Hassan. Fellow leader Joe Biggs, who was serving 17 years, is also being processed for release.
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to release our great hostages,&#8221; Trump declared at Washington&#8217;s Capital One Arena, reported Reuters. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed immediate releases are possible pending documentation.
The action follows former President Joe Biden&#8216;s pre-emptive pardons in his final hours, which shielded his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43084064/biden-makes-last-day-pardons-to-block-potential-trump-retribution">family members and key officials</a>, including the entire Jan. 6 House Select Committee and their staff. Biden&#8217;s pardons also protected Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley from what he called &#8220;unjustified politically motivated prosecutions.&#8221;
Over 600 people were originally charged with assaulting or obstructing police during the Capitol riot, according to Justice Department figures. The unprecedented scale of Trump&#8217;s pardons signals potential market volatility, particularly in sectors sensitive to political uncertainty.

What Happened: Bitcoin fell steadily, reaching an intraday low of $100,626 as the top cryptocurrency failed to capitalize on its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43079668/bitcoin-hits-record-109000-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration-sparks-market-rally">surge to fresh highs of $109,000</a> ahead of the inauguration.&nbsp;
Ethereum followed a similar trajectory, retracing from a high of $3,425 to as low as $3,228.

About $756 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, including roughly $500 million on upside bets.

That said, over 51% of derivatives traders had short positions opened for Bitcoin, suggesting expectations of further correction in the days ahead.
The market sentiment remained in the "Extreme Greed" zone, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Rekt Capital drew attention to the successful retest of $101,000 as Bitcoin's support.
"This confluent support may serve as a floor for future price action, enabling consolidation within this current $101,000-$106,000 range," the analyst added.

"This demand area must hold to maintain ETH's bullish outlook. A breakdown could invalidate the positive momentum," Martinez remarked.

A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck southern Taiwan early Tuesday, forcing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to evacuate facilities in a region critical to global chip supply, marking the second significant seismic event to impact semiconductor operations in recent months.
The quake&#8217;s epicenter was in Chiayi county&#8217;s Dapu township at a depth of 9.4 kilometers, according to Taiwan&#8217;s weather administration. 
TSMC, which supplies chips to major tech companies including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), confirmed staff evacuations at its central and southern Taiwan facilities, though initial reports indicate minimal structural damage, according to Reuters.
At least 15 people sustained minor injuries, including six rescued from a collapsed house in Tainan city, where TSMC operates major fabrication plants. The incident follows April 2024&#8217;s more severe 7.4 magnitude earthquake that killed 13 people and disrupted semiconductor operations.
Taiwan&#8217;s location along the Pacific &#8220;Ring of Fire&#8221; makes it susceptible to earthquakes, with previous major incidents in 2016 and 1999 causing significant casualties and industrial disruption, according <a href="https://apnews.com/article/taiwan-earthquake-ec33fde6218f097c2aec6aac2a697761">to</a> the Associated Press.
TSMC is trading at NT$ 1,115 ($34.15) on the Taiwan Exchange, down 0.45% as of 9:12 AM local time. Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd., also known as Foxconn, has rebounded from an early dip and is currently trading at NT$ 178.50 ($5.47), up 0.28%.
Meanwhile, the TAIEX index, which tracks companies on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, stands at 23,259.39, down 0.032% for the day.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) faces mounting pressure as Jefferies downgraded the tech giant to &#8216;underperform,&#8217; citing concerns over revenue growth, following President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43079785/trump-announces-apple-plans-massive-investment-in-the-us-following-discussion-with-ceo-tim-cook">remarks about potential new U.S. investments</a> from the company.
The Apple Analyst: Jefferies analyst Edison Lee cut his price target to $200.75 from $211.84, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/20/jefferies-downgrades-apple-to-rare-underperform-rating-says-revenue-may-disappoint.html">reported</a> CNBC, projecting a 12.7% downside for the stock. 
 The rare bearish call stands in contrast to broader Wall Street sentiment, with only three other analysts recommending selling Apple shares compared to 19 buy ratings, according to Tipranks.com. The stock has already declined over 8% in 2024, following last year&#8217;s 30% gain.
The Apple Thesis: Lee warns Apple could miss its 5% revenue growth forecast for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and expects disappointing second-quarter guidance, citing weak iPhone sales and limited artificial intelligence developments.
The downgrade comes as Trump announced potential &#8220;massive investment&#8221; plans from Apple in the United States, revealed during his recent victory rally in Washington D.C. Trump cited a conversation with CEO Tim Cook, linking the investment to his election win and broader initiative to expedite approvals for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43079785/trump-announces-apple-plans-massive-investment-in-the-us-following-discussion-with-ceo-tim-cook">companies investing $1 billion </a>or more in the U.S.

Apple, which recently approached but fell short of a $4 trillion valuation, is set to report earnings on Jan. 30, with investors closely watching for signs of revenue weakness highlighted in the Jefferies report.
The contrasting narratives emerge amid strong market performance, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 gaining 1.9% in its best week since November. Apple&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> stands at $245.17, based on 30 analyst ratings, with recent analysis from MoffettNathanson, Bernstein, and B of A Securities suggesting a modest 2.25% upside potential.

Price Action: Apple closed at $229.98 on Friday, up 0.75% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.21%. Year to date, Apple's stock is down 5.69%, but over the past year, it has gained 18.61%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple Gets Rare Downgrade From Jefferies, Analyst Warns On Slowing Revenue Growth, Missed Forecasts, And Falling iPhone Demand

In a move mirroring his first term, President Donald Trump has announced his intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. This announcement came on the same day as his inauguration for a second term.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s decision echoes his 2017 withdrawal from the global climate pact, a decision later reversed by President Joe Biden. &#8220;I&#8217;m immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Paris Climate Accords,&#8221; Trump declared as he signed a series of executive orders following his inauguration, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-withdrawing-us-paris-climate-agreement-again/">reported</a> CBS News.
In December, Biden had said he rejoined the Agreement because he &#8220;understood we didn&#8217;t have a minute to waste tackling the climate crisis.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">On my first day as your president, America rejoined the Paris Agreement because I understood we didn&#39;t have a minute to waste tackling the climate crisis. That is still true today. Today, we celebrate 9 years of global climate progress under that historic commitment.

The Paris Agreement, a voluntary pact aimed at limiting global warming, allows nations to set their own greenhouse gas reduction targets. The U.S., one of the world&#8217;s top carbon polluters, faces a February 2025 deadline for new individual plans. The Biden administration had previously proposed a plan to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by over 60% by 2035.

Why It Matters: There are 195 signatories to the Paris Agreement, according to the United Nations. Notable nations that have not ratified it include Iran, Yemen and Libya — all in the Middle East.
In June, Trump&#8217;s campaign signaled his intent to withdraw from the Paris climate accord if re-elected. This move puts him at odds with businesses like Exxon Mobil Corp, whose CEO Darren Woods urged Trump to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39563833/trump-campaign-signals-intent-to-withdraw-us-from-paris-climate-accord-again-report">reconsider his decision</a>, stating that policy inconsistency creates challenges for businesses.

Trump Signs Orders To Take US Out Of Paris Climate Agreement, Calls The Deal 'One-Sided' And Unfair

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has been unanimously confirmed as the 72nd U.S. Secretary of State on Monday.
What Happened: Rubio&#8217;s confirmation as the Secretary of State came on the day of President Trump&#8217;s inauguration, making him the first member of the Cabinet to be confirmed on the same day, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5096622-senate-confirms-marco-rubio-secretary/">reported</a> The Hill. The confirmation vote saw overwhelming bipartisan support, with a 99-0 vote, including Rubio&#8217;s own vote.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) praised Rubio for his grasp of American foreign policy and his commitment to the American dream. Rubio&#8217;s Senate seat will be filled by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.
&#8220;No one on this body can doubt that Marco Rubio is an intelligent man with remarkable understanding of American foreign policy and a very deep commitment to the American dream,&#8221; said Grassley.
Descending from Cuban immigrants, Rubio&#8217;s appointment marks him as the first Latino American to serve as the top U.S. diplomat. His nomination has been a source of relief for lawmakers and allies abroad, who were concerned about Trump&#8217;s unpredictable approach to foreign affairs.
Rubio, a 14-year Senator, co-sponsored legislation aimed at preventing any president from withdrawing from NATO. During his confirmation hearing, he raised concerns about Chinese companies operating near the Panama Canal, citing national security risks.

Elon Musk's complex relationship with his eldest daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has reportedly significantly influenced his recent life choices, including selling off his luxurious homes. Despite his efforts, it appears this move didn't have the outcome he had hoped for.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Painful Rift</h2>
Musk's relationship with Vivian, formerly Xavier (after Elon&#8217;s favorite character in the X-Men comics), took a sharp turn four to five years ago. As Walter Isaacson, Musk&#8217;s biographer, told in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BDmC5u_MLE">interview</a>, Vivian announced her transition to him in a note saying, "I'm transitioning, my name is now Jenna and don't tell my father."&nbsp;
She later legally changed her name and chose her mother's maiden name, signaling her desire to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39975349/elon-musks-transgender-daughter-vivian-wilson-speaks-out-about-fathers-absence-and-cruelty-hes-very">distance herself from Musk</a>.

While Musk initially publicly supported her transition, he revealed in Walter Isaacson's biography that the real pain came from her total rejection of him. Vivian has reportedly embraced anticapitalist views, hates billionaires and believes capitalism is theft. Musk's attempts to connect with her have so far been unsuccessful.

<li>A $17 million mansion in Bel Air with a pool, tennis court and breathtaking views he bought in 2012. Listed in 2020 at $30 million.</li>
<li>Gene Wilder's former home, purchased for $6.75 million, which he later sold to Wilder&#8217;s nephew for $7 million. After a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40477567/elon-musk-who-once-vowed-to-own-no-home-now-foreclosing-on-filmmakers-7m-childhood-house">recent foreclosure</a>, it&#8217;s listed for $9.5 million.</li>
<li>He bought several other Bel Air properties for $24 million, $20 million, $4.3 million and $4.2 million. In 2020, they were listed for a collective $62.5 million and sold six months later.</li>
<li>A 16,000-square-foot Bay Area mansion was purchased for $23.4 million and sold for $30 million.</li>

Musk listed these properties and sold them in quick succession, ultimately <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/02/36962520/elon-musks-75-year-old-mother-says-she-sleeps-on-mattresses-or-blankets-on-the-floor-or-in-the-garag">downsizing to a tiny $50,000 prefab house</a> near SpaceX's Starbase in Texas. He hoped living modestly would align with Vivian's anticapitalist values and possibly mend their relationship. As Isaacson put it, he thought that by selling all five of his pretty nice homes, he would just live very frugally, which would please her. Unfortunately, his efforts didn&#8217;t bear fruit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Political Shift</h2>
The rift with Vivian is just one piece of a broader evolution in Musk's political and social views. Once a center-left donor who supported Barack Obama and voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton and Joe Biden in 2016 and 2020, respectively, Musk has become increasingly critical of what he calls the "woke mind virus."&nbsp;
He attributes some of this shift to his daughter's rejection and the influence of her progressive Los Angeles school, Crossroads. Musk has also voiced frustrations over issues like COVID-19 lockdowns and gender ideology, which he believes have gone too far.

President Donald Trump named Mark Uyeda, a Republican member of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), acting chair of the agency.
What Happened: The White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/designation-of-chairmen-and-acting-chairmen/">confirmed</a> Uyedas&#8217;s role as acting chair of the agency. 
Trump picked former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins to oversee the SEC permanently, but Congress must approve the nomination.

Uyeda temporarily takes over duties from Gary Gensler, former President Joe Biden&#8216;s SEC chair, who prosecuted cryptocurrency-related companies like Coinbase and Ripple throughout his tenure. 
Gensler also advocated for more cryptocurrency regulation ahead of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">departure from the SEC</a>. 
Uyeda&#8217;s legal career began at Kirkpatrick &amp; Lockhart, which is now K&amp;L Gates. 
In 2004, then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Uyeda as Chief Advisor to the California Corporations Commissioner, the state&#8217;s securities regulator.
By 2006, he joined the SEC and was eventually named commissioner on June 30, 2022.
He also <a href="https://www.sifma.org/people/mark-t-uyeda/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">served</a> as counsel to commissioner Atkins.
Why It Matters: A Trump appointment to the SEC will likely influence the agency&#8217;s policies regarding cryptocurrency regulation, Reuters reports.
Trump&#8217;s business dealings are heavily tied to cryptocurrency. On Friday, he debuted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43082005/market-to-seek-further-information-on-utilization-of-80-trump-token-supply-says-bernstein">his own meme coin</a> called Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) and, before that, his family helped launch World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform.
According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/01/17/us/politics/trump-conflicts-of-interest.html">New York Times</a>, citing 2024 financial disclosures, Trump owns up to $5 million worth of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). The new SEC is expected to loosen regulations on crypto and implement new guidelines that could bolster the value of Ethereum, Bitcoin (CRYPTP: BTC) and tokens at WLFI.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a turbulent day of trading on Monday, triggered by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43085738/trumps-crypto-silence-inauguration-omission-sparks-questions-after-history-of-mixed-signals">President Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration. </a>
High expectations for a crypto-friendly presidency were dashed when Trump&#8217;s inaugural address did not include any mention of digital currencies. As a result, tokens suffered sharp price drops and substantial liquidations across the market.
The market had rallied significantly in the days leading up to the inauguration. But it fell almost immediately when it was clear that Trump&#8217;s speech &#8212; his second inaugural address &#8212; would not include the topic.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which had been riding a wave of optimism ahead of the inauguration, dropped from $106,000 to $101,000 during Trump's speech before stabilizing around $103,000. 
Among altcoins, Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) — central to the weekend's Trump-affiliated meme coin frenzy — fell nearly 10% from its lifetime high.
The newly launched TRUMP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin, released on Friday, saw an immediate plunge. It fell 30% from $50 during Trump's address.
Though it partially recovered, it remained down over 44% at last check Monday, trading at around $39.88. 
A meme coin inspired by First Lady Melania Trump (CRYPTO: MELANIA), which launched a day after TRUMP, fared worse. It plummeted 46% before rebounding slightly.

According to <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData">data </a>from CoinGlass, the volatility wiped out over $700 million in leveraged crypto positions on Monday alone. Nearly $500 million-worth of those liquidations came from traders betting on price increases.
Including the selloff that began overnight before the inauguration, the total liquidation across digital assets surpassed $1.2 billion in 24 hours—the largest leverage flush this year.
The wild swings of the meme coins has also attracted criticism from key political figures. 
Nic Carter, a founding partner of a crypto investment firm, called the meme coin launch "preposterous," while Congresswoman Maxine Waters criticized it for "tainting the crypto industry" and exposing the need for proper regulation. 
This has led to concern for advocates within the industry that the volatile meme coins may hurt the public perception of legitimate digital assets and push regulators to act <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43083490/melania-rise-and-trumps-fall-signal-crypto-mainstreaming-and-potential-blow-to-tradfi-experts-note">aggressively against digital assets.</a>
