<p>Cryptocurrency <strong>Solana </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) has soared in value in recent days, driven by companies filing to launch Solana ETFs, the continued strength of meme coins, and optimism <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42139601/solana-hits-264-record-high-as-etf-filings-regulatory-optimism-drive-market-momentum">for the crypto sector.</a></p>
<p>On Nov. 21, Solana hit an all-time high, which comes years after the cryptocurrency was nearly left for dead and investors fled after former <strong>FTX </strong>CEO <strong>Sam Bankman-Fried</strong> was arrested.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a look back at the fall of FTX and Bankman-Fried&#8217;s arrest, which may have been a good starting point to buy Solana.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Solana's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122387/solana-soars-10-reaches-new-all-time-high-market-cap-what-is-going-on"> all-time high</a> comes with meme cryptocurrencies once again surging in popularity and optimism that ETFs based on the fourth-largest crypto could be approved similarly to <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and <strong>Ethereum </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs.</p>
<p>With a market capitalization of $121.0 billion, Solana ranks fourth trailing only Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoin <strong>Tether</strong>.</p>
<p>While Solana now trades over $200 a coin, the crypto was one of many that fell on previous news surrounding FTX, including the company's bankruptcy and the arrest of founder <strong>Sam Bankman-Fried</strong>.</p>
<p>On Dec. 12, 2022, Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas after criminal charges were announced against him by U.S. prosecutors.</p>
<p>He was later <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/11/35581805/ex-ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-found-guilty-on-all-criminal-fraud-charges-faces-up-to-115-ye">found guilty</a> on seven counts of criminal fraud in November 2023. The announcement of the verdict initially caused a decline in the prices of&nbsp;<a href="http://benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/11/35583286/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-after-sam-bankman-fried-found-guilty-on-all-charges-analy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">several major cryptocurrencies</a>.</p>
<p>Among the charges against the former FTX CEO were wire fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.</p>
<p>The former FTX CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37988324/sam-bankman-fried-sentenced-to-25-years-judge-points-to-ambition-political-manipulation">was sentenced to</a> 25 years in prison in March 2024.</p>

<p><strong>Investing $1,000 in Solana:&nbsp;</strong>The bankruptcy of FTX and arrest of Bankman-Fried were among the top negative headlines for the cryptocurrency sector over the last year.</p>
<p>Solana is one of many cryptocurrencies that saw high volatility around those events. The cryptocurrency was also linked closely to FTX, given the cryptocurrency platform&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/11/29685871/ftx-is-dead-solana-is-not-sol-sees-positive-volatility-as-community-concurs-sam-bankman-fr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">former large position</a>&nbsp;in the coin and Bankman-Fried once telling a user on Twitter, now known as X, that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/11/24160231/ftx-founder-sam-bankman-fried-may-have-had-one-of-the-best-2021-crypto-callouts-how-much-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he would buy</a>&nbsp;all the Solana coins he could at $3 each.</p>
<p>For an investor in Solana, the arrest of Bankman-Fried could have been an ideal entry point, considering the cryptocurrency's price drop and subsequent rebound following the event.</p>
<p>On Dec. 12, 2022, Solana traded as high as $13.46. A $1,000 investment in the coin at its daily high could have acquired 74.29 SOL. The $1,000 investment would be worth $18,924.63 today. This represents a potential return of 1,792.5% over the past nearly two years.</p>
<p>For comparison, the <strong>S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust,</strong> which tracks the S&amp;P 500 stock market index, is up only 49.2% over the same time period.</p>
<p>While it remains to be seen if Solana can continue moving higher, investors who recognized that Bankman-Fried&#8217;s arrest and trial would be short-term bearish for cryptocurrency would have been pleasantly rewarded.</p>

If You Invested $1,000 In Solana When Sam Bankman-Fried Was Arrested, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

<p><strong>TILT Holdings</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLLTF#OTC">TLLTF</a>) is at a critical juncture as it explores divesting its plant-touching business (PTB), which generates 75% of its revenue but continues to struggle with declining margins. Massachusetts operations, contributing two-thirds of revenue, are under pressure from market saturation, while Pennsylvania's wholesale arm faces reduced purchases as vertically integrated operators prioritize in-house products. </p>
<p>Gross margins across TILT fell from 18% in Q1 to 14% in Q3, reflecting challenges across all divisions. Analyst <strong>Pablo Zuanic </strong>values the PTB between $20–$30 million, a modest sum given the company's $3 million market cap and heavy debt burden.</p>

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Debt Remains A Major Hurdle Despite Positive Cash Flow</h3>
<p>TILT's financial health is constrained by $62 million in net debt, with $12 million due in 2025 and $38 million in 2026, alongside $44 million in lease obligations. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic">Zuanic highlights</a> a positive development: TILT generated $2 million in operating cash flow in Q3 2024. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Jupiter&#8217;s Challenges: A Dual Front</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37083640/jupiter-research-weed-vape-cartridges-mso-brand">Jupiter, TILT's vape subsidiary</a>, is contending with both operational setbacks and broader market shifts. U.S. sales dropped to $9.4 million in Q3 2024, down from $15 million in the same period last year, even after adjusting for the transition of half its sales to a 15% distribution fee model. </p>
<p>Canadian sales grew 11% to $6.4 million but saw gross margins collapse from 29% to zero. Zuanic calculates that Jupiter's distribution fees could generate $9 million annually at 100% gross margins, with the remaining $53 million in sales yielding 20% margins. This would produce $20 million in gross profit, making Jupiter potentially profitable with $10 million in EBITDA.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, Zuanic remains cautious about the sustainability of these projections given continued market share erosion. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Competitive Landscape And CCELL Partnership</h3>
<p>Jupiter's long-standing partnership with CCELL is adapting to shifting market dynamics. CCELL has diversified its production outside China to mitigate geopolitical risks, while also strengthening direct U.S. customer support. Zuanic raises concerns about potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/10/35228569/whos-who-among-cannabis-hardware-vaping-suppliers-zuanic-associates-take-a-deep-div">overlap between CCELL's direct operations and Jupiter's business</a>, warning that structural changes may be necessary to preserve market leadership. </p>
<p>Consumer preferences are shifting toward all-in-one devices (AIOs), prompting Jupiter to invest in proprietary technologies and bolster its supply chain. Despite these efforts, the company has yet to reverse a five-year trend of declining market share. Zuanic underscores the importance of aligning innovation with operational efficiency to stay competitive. For a deeper dive into his methodology and projections, visit <a href="https://zuanicgroup.com/">Zuanic &amp; Associates' research portal</a>.</p>

What's Next: Agilent Technologies's Earnings Preview

<p>For the first time in years, the U.S. is witnessing a <strong>sustained decline in overdose deaths</strong>. Federal data reveals a 14.5% drop in fatalities over 12 months ending June 2024, marking a significant shift after years of grim records. Experts attribute the change to a combination of expanded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39470316/un-health-officials-new-report-calls-for-end-to-drug-war-harm-reduction-scientific-approach-to-d">harm reduction</a> efforts, increased accessibility to treatment and changes in the illicit drug supply itself.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Drivers Behind Decline In Overdose Deaths </strong></h3>
<p>According to a recent <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/health/overdose-deaths-decline-drug-supply.html">article</a> in The New York Times, weakened fentanyl potency has played a critical role. <strong>Anne Milgram</strong>, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), <a href="https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2024/11/15/deas-third-annual-national-family-summit-fentanyl-highlights-progress">announced</a> a decline in fentanyl potency for the first time since 2021. The DEA linked this shift to crackdowns on Mexican cartels and international supply chains.</p>
<p>Another notable factor is evolving drug use behavior. Increasingly, users are smoking or snorting fentanyl to avoid necrotic wounds caused by xylazine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/04/31788751/biden-administration-calls-fentanyl-laced-with-xylazine-emerging-threat-what-now">an animal tranquilizer often mixed with fentanyl</a>. This shift, though not necessarily safer, reflects growing awareness of harm reduction messaging.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Combating Overdoses With A Pragmatic Approach</strong></h3>
<p>Harm reduction programs, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31549189/fda-approves-over-the-counter-sale-of-opioid-reversal-drug-narcan">wider distribution of naloxone</a> (Narcan), fentanyl test strips and syringe exchanges, have further contributed to the decline.</p>
<p>Additionally, more states now prescribe medications to suppress opioid cravings. Programs providing sterile syringes and community education further empower users to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39912563/exclusive-this-new-harm-reduction-group-wants-home-testing-kits-available-for-all-drugs">take precautions</a> against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40990399/fentanyl-laced-with-toxic-chemical-btmps-raises-alarms-nationwide-experts-warn-of-danger">dangerous adulterants</a>.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Racial Disparities In Overdose Deaths Death Rise</strong></h3>
<p>However, while these developments are promising, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41829368/overdose-crisis-in-shadows-of-elections-as-black-indigenous-americans-deaths-rise">overdose death rates among Black and Indigenous Americans are still rising</a>.

</ul>
<p>Eastern and Midwestern states have seen sharper declines, possibly due to more seasoned responses to fentanyl. In contrast, overdose deaths are still rising in some Western states where fentanyl arrived later.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Communities Still Struggling With Ongoing Crisis</strong></h3>
<p>Despite the progress, policymakers caution against complacency as fatalities remain alarmingly high, with overdose deaths exceeding 97,000 in 2024. "There are entire communities that are not seeing that progress. Many families continue to be impacted by it every day," said <strong>Dr. Allison Arwady</strong> of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to The NY Times.</p>
<p>As the U.S. continues to grapple with the overdose crisis, experts stress the need for sustained prevention efforts and addressing systemic disparities in access to treatment and resources.</p>

Bitcoin 'On Brink Of Breaking $100,000,' Dogecoin Up, Ethereum Down: Crypto Community Holds Its Breath As BTC Guns For Milestone

<p><strong>Needham</strong> analyst Tom Nikic initiated coverage on <strong>Foot Locker, Inc. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) with a Buy rating and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price forecast of $27</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst writes that Foot Locker is positioned for an earnings recovery in 2025, with improvements expected from a strengthened <strong>Nike, Inc </strong>partnership, growth in non-Nike brands, recent SG&amp;A investments, and the recovery of merchandise margins.</p>
<p>Despite a current lull post-back-to-school, the analyst expects trends to pick up after Thanksgiving and is encouraged by a recent consumer survey indicating strong holiday interest in sneakers.</p>
<p>Nikic notes that Foot Locker faced challenges due to Nike&#8217;s decision to reduce high-demand product supply but believes Nike&#8217;s shift to increase product allocations to Foot Locker starting in the fourth-quarter of 2024 will drive positive sales growth.</p>

<p>Additionally, Foot Locker is benefiting from expanding Hoka and On availability, along with strengthened relationships with brands like <strong>Adidas AG</strong>, New Balance, <strong>Crocs, Inc.</strong>, and UGG.</p>
<p>The analyst explains that Foot Locker&#8217;s EBIT margin was significantly lower last year compared to pre-COVID levels and is only expected to see modest improvement in FY24 due to aggressive long-term growth investments.</p>
<p>However, as spending tapers off next year, Foot Locker is expected to leverage these investments to expand margins.</p>
<p>Additionally, with merchandise margins still over 300bps below pre-COVID levels, there is further opportunity for gross margin improvement, Nikic adds.</p>
<p>The analyst projects the company to report FY24 revenues of $8.164 billion and earnings per share of $1.61.</p>
