JOYY Q4 Outlook: Expects Net Revenues To Be Between $546M-$563M Vs. $564.667M

In a big legal win for the cryptocurrency industry, a U.S. appeals court has overturned sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department on popular cryptocurrency mixer, Tornado Cash, causing the price of the associated coin to zoom 430%.
What Happened: A three-judge panel from the Fifth Circuit Appeals Court in New Orleans on Tuesday <a href="https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rWi4YTmtAT5I/v0">concluded </a>that&nbsp;the Office of Foreign Assets&nbsp;Control (OFAC) had exceeded its authority, reversing a lower court&#8217;s decision and granting a partial summary judgment in favor of Tornado Cash users.
The judges ruled that Tornado Cash&#8217;s immutable smart contracts do not qualify as&nbsp;property under the International Emergency&nbsp;Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—a federal law that grants sweeping powers to the president to control economic transactions—as they cannot be owned or controlled. 
&#8220;We hold that&nbsp;Tornado Cash's immutable smart contracts&nbsp;(the lines of privacy-enabling software&nbsp;code) are not the "property"&nbsp;of a foreign national or&nbsp;entity, meaning (1) they cannot&nbsp;be blocked under IEEPA, and&nbsp;(2) OFAC overstepped its congressionally&nbsp;defined authority,&#8221; Circuit Judge Don Willett wrote in the judgment.
The Treasury Department didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

The ruling was cheered by influential names in the industry like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and the company&#8217;s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal who described it as a &#8220;historic win for crypto.&#8221;
&#8220;Proud of this outcome. The courts ruled in our favor that the Treasury Department cannot sanction open-source code.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The ruling followed a turbulent period for Tornado Cash, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36190138/vivek-ramaswamy-thinks-penalizing-tornado-cash-mixer-was-illegal-and-unconstitutional" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blacklisted</a> by the department in 2022, making it illegal for U.S. citizens, residents, and companies to use the platform.
In August 2023, the platform&#8217;s founders,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/34010989/tornado-cash-founders-indicted-for-1b-crypto-laundering-1-arrest-1-at-large">Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, were indicted</a>&nbsp;for allegedly laundering over $1 billion through the cryptocurrency mixer, including funds from the notorious North Korean cybercrime group, Lazarus Group.
Critics argued that Tornado Cash is software, not an individual and that the Treasury had overstepped its authority by sanctioning the mixing service. This sentiment was echoed by Vivek Ramaswamy, a prominent member of the incoming Donald Trump administration, who argued that penalizing an entire protocol was &#8220;illegal and unconstitutional.&#8221;
For the curious, a cryptocurrency tumbler, also known as a mixer, is a service that mixes cryptocurrency funds to make them harder to trace. The goal is to improve the anonymity of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), whose public ledgers are otherwise easily available.
Price Action: Following the ruling, the price of the associated token Tornado Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TORN</a>) exploded 430%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Inc.

What Happened: Tesla's updated referral program includes enhanced discounts and rewards, with specific incentives for the Cybertruck.
The changes were announced via one of Tesla&#8217;s official accounts on X.

Referrers in the U.S. can earn up to $10,000 via referrals, while Canadian participants can earn up to CAD13,000. Participants also have a chance&nbsp;to win an invitation to&nbsp;a future Tesla event.
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s enhanced referral program is part of a broader strategy to boost sales in the fourth quarter.

SMCI Stock Slumps 10% As Loan Agreements With Banks End Amid Ongoing Nasdaq Challenges

China's Huawei Technologies will replace Google's Android with its in-house developed operating system in smartphones and tablets starting next year.
What Happened: On Tuesday, at a live-streamed event, Huawei announced that its Mate 70 series will debut HarmonyOS Next, the latest iteration of the company's operating system, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-26/huawei-plans-to-drop-android-entirely-in-gadgets-from-2025?leadSource=uverifywall">reported</a> Bloomberg.
The Mate 70 and Mate 70 Pro will be available on Dec. 4, marking the company's first flagship phones without any reliance on Android, the open-source OS by 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.
Richard Yu, chairman of Huawei's consumer business group said that the Mate 70 series is expected to deliver a 40% performance boost over its predecessor. The device has a starting price of $760 (5,499 yuan) for the 6.7-inch model.

Meanwhile, the HarmonyOS Next will take another two to three months to improve user experience, but the plans remain to integrate it into future devices.
The Mate 70 series is expected to include Huawei's in-house Kirin chips, although their performance might lag behind those of competitors like Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) and MediaTek.
Huawei has forecasted production of more than 10 million units over the product&#8217;s life cycle, indicating strong expectations for demand.

Why It Matters: The new devices aim to compete directly with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in China&#8217;s premium smartphone market.
In the third quarter of this year, Huawei&#8217;s market share in China increased to 15.3%, up from 8.6% last year. This development marked it as a strong rival to Cupertino in the high-end smartphone arena.
Earlier this year, Huawei also surpassed Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) in global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39107001/after-apple-huawei-takes-on-samsung-in-race-to-become-worlds-top-foldable-phone-maker-report">foldable smartphone</a> shipments.
Meanwhile, Google generates billions from Android, mainly via the Play Store. In the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">third quarter of 2024</a>, Google Services reported $76.5 billion in revenue, a 13% increase year-over-year.
Moreover, the decision to move away from Android is significant considering the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42132104/huawei-to-launch-mate-70-smartphone-with-advanced-homegrown-chip-challenging-apple-in-china-amid-us-sanctions-report">U.S. sanctions</a> that have limited Huawei's access to critical technologies. Other Chinese tech companies are seeking ways to reduce their reliance on foreign technology.
Price Action: As of this writing, Alphabet's Class A shares rose 0.047% in after-hours trading to $169.20, while Class C shares increased by 0.11% to $170.80. During Tuesday's regular session, Class A shares closed up 0.88% at $169.12, and Class C shares ended 0.70% higher at $170.62, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Apple&#8217;s stock gained 0.94% on Tuesday, closing at $235.06, and saw an additional 0.20% rise in after-hours trading. Since the year began, Apple stock has risen 26.62%, more than the Nasdaq 100 index's 26.47% gain in the same period.

The senator brushed off the past criticism of Trump in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jd-vance-addresses-past-criticism-trump-after-hes-chosen-vp-bought-medias-lies-distortions">his interviews</a> before the election. &#8220;I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind,&#8221; Vance said.

Donald Trump's presidential victory gave an unprecedented boost to the cryptocurrency market, pushing major assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to new highs.&nbsp;
However, the bull market has also managed to draw attention back to those altcoins that have struggled to gain traction this year.
What happened: Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>), now rebranded to POL, has been one of the biggest benefactors, surging over 61% over the last month. The token climbed to a five-month high earlier this week.
In fact, the coin&#8217;s 30-day gains have significantly exceeded those of blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which rose nearly 36%.
Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez foresaw strong upside potential for POL, based on multiple bullish indicators.
In an X post on Monday, Martinex highlighted that despite the uptick, only about 15% of POL holders were in profit, reducing the possibility of immediate sell-offs.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Furthermore, on-chain activity showed promise, with active addresses, transaction volume, and whale transactions all experiencing spikes.
In fact, whales have been on an accumulation spree, scooping millions of POL tokens.
With no "major" selling pressure and surging whale interest, Martinez issues a bold forecast.
"I believe that POL consolidates in a multi-year descending triangle, and a weekly close above $0.7973 could trigger a rally to $15.27 or $36.17,&#8221; he said.
This would amount to a staggering upside from the current level, in the range of 2725%-6592%.

Several technical indicators also flashed a bullish signal for POL.&nbsp;
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (MAs), flashed a "Buy" signal, according to <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/POLYGUSD/technicals/">data </a>from TradingView.
Additionally, most MAs, including exponential and simple, gave a bullish prediction.&nbsp;
That said, the derivatives market anticipated price declines as the number of traders levered short on the coin exceeded those placing bullish bets, data from the Long/Short Ratio showed.
Price Action: At the time of writing, POL was trading at $0.5405, down 2,75% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The coin has lagged other cryptocurrencies in 2024, falling over 46% year-to-date.&nbsp;

Crypto's Next Mega-Rocket? Analyst Forecasts Insane 2725%-6600% Surge For This Coin

The incoming Donald Trump administration is reportedly planning to extend the regulatory power of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to oversee a major portion of the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: The&nbsp;CFTC's role could soon expand&nbsp;to include the regulation of&nbsp;spot markets for major assets such as&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), along&nbsp;with the exchanges that facilitate&nbsp;their trading, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-admin-eyes-cftc-lead-digital-asset-regulation">reported </a>on Tuesday, citing sources close to Trump&#8217;s team.
The proposed move is&nbsp;part of a broader effort&nbsp;by President-elect Trump and&nbsp;the Republican majorities in Congress&nbsp;to scale back the regulatory power that&nbsp;the SEC has exerted&nbsp;over the digital asset industry&nbsp;under President Joe Biden and his&nbsp;outgoing SEC chairman, Gary Gensler.
Key figures&nbsp;in the incoming Trump administration&nbsp;believe that less stringent regulation&nbsp;is needed to spur innovation&nbsp;in the cryptocurrency business.
If implemented, the move would give the CFTC, the regulator of the U.S. derivatives market, jurisdiction over a nearly $2.24 trillion market for Bitcoin and Ethereum, making up more than 70% of the global cryptocurrency market.
The CFTC didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation. A mail sent to Trump&#8217;s former campaign spokesman wasn&#8217;t responded to either.

Why It Matters: The CFTC has long considered digital assets like Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/03/31270768/ethereum-a-commodity-too-cftc-chair-thinks-it-should-be-added-to-gary-genslers-bitcoin-onl">as commodities</a>, as stated by CFTC Chair Rostin Benham in his testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee, in contrast to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37538468/sec-chair-gary-gensler-declines-to-say-whether-ethereum-is-a-commodity-its-about-circumsta">SEC&#8217;s ambiguous position</a> on the asset.
As for Bitcoin, the asset has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/06/27866983/commodity-or-security-new-bitcoin-insights-from-sec-chairman-gary-gensler">long been recognized as a commodity</a>, even by the SEC, protecting it against regulatory scrutiny.
The Trump transition team has been considering the creation of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">White House role dedicated to cryptocurrency policy</a>, indicating a potential shift in the U.S. government's approach to digital assets (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">source</a>).
This change in regulatory oversight comes as SEC Chair Gary Gensler, known for his stringent regulatory approach towards cryptocurrencies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">announced his resignation </a>effective from Trump&#8217;s inauguration day.

In a provocative discourse on modern military technology, leading tech innovators are challenging traditional warfare strategies, arguing that autonomous drones and artificial intelligence will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42157649/trumps-doge-co-lead-elon-musk-slams-lockheed-martins-f-35-fighter-jets-advocates-drone-warfare-as-pentagon-defends-1-8-trillion-program">fundamentally transform military combat</a>.
What Happened: Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk sparked widespread discussion by asserting that &#8220;future wars are all about drones &amp; hypersonic missiles&#8221; and that human-piloted fighter jets will be quickly decimated in modern conflict.
Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at New Street Research, further proposed redirecting Defense Department budgets toward innovative startups, drawing parallels to NASA&#8217;s approach two decades ago.
Musk&#8217;s perspective was amplified during a podcast with Joe Rogan and Marc Andreessen, where they detailed the potential of AI-controlled aircraft. The experts highlighted critical advantages of drone warfare, including:
<ul>
<li>Unprecedented processing speeds</li>
<li>Ability to withstand extreme G-forces</li>
<li>Elimination of human physical limitations</li>
<li>Potential for larger, more numerous deployment</li>
</ul>

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), remains a focal point of debate.

Musk, recently appointed to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been vocal about reducing government expenditures.

Amid Elon Musk's Push For Drones And AI For Combat Transformation, Analyst Pierre Ferragu Says Shift The Defense Budget In Favor Of Startups

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, is doubling down on biologics, seeing unprecedented potential at the intersection of artificial intelligence, genetic sequencing, and gene editing technologies.
What Happened: Wood&#8217;s enthusiasm centers on what she describes as a transformative convergence of technologies that could revolutionize medical treatment and drug discovery. 
Speaking candidly about the sector, Wood highlighted the remarkable progress in genetic therapies, particularly in companies like Crispr Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>), Intellia Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTLA#NASDAQ">NTLA</a>), and Beam Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>).
Her most striking example involves Crispr Therapeutics&#8217; recent breakthrough in sickle cell disease treatment. Wood noted, referencing how patients who previously required 12 to 20 annual blood transfusions might now be free from such interventions.
The strategy extends beyond treatment breakthroughs to drug development itself. Wood points to companies like Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RXRX#NASDAQ">RXRX</a>) as leveraging artificial intelligence to dramatically reduce clinical trial failure rates and accelerate drug development timelines.
However, the market performance of these innovative companies tells a more nuanced story. Year-to-date, the stocks have experienced significant volatility: Crispr Therapeutics is down 25.36%, Intellia Therapeutics has dropped 52.21%, Beam Therapeutics declined 3.04%, and Recursion Pharmaceuticals fell 9.80%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why It Matters: ARK&#8217;s commitment to this sector is evident through its Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>), which manages net assets of $1.179 billion. The fund&#8217;s performance reflects the sector&#8217;s volatility, with annual returns ranging from a high of 180.50% in 2020 to a low of -53.94% in 2022.
The ETF&#8217;s current top holdings underscore Wood&#8217;s strategic focus on innovative biological technologies. Twist Bioscience Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWST#NASDAQ">TWST</a>) leads the portfolio at 8.90%, followed by Crispr Therapeutics at 7.88% and Recursion Pharmaceuticals at 6.17%.

Wood&#8217;s vision suggests a potential $400 billion market opportunity in biologics over the next five years, driven by the unprecedented convergence of AI, sequencing technologies, and gene editing.

Cathie Wood Sees $400B Opportunity In Biologics — How Have Her Bets Fared?

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI's unreleased Sora text-to-video AI model has reportedly been leaked by a group of beta testers protesting its handling of artists.
What Happened: A group of Sora beta testers claimed responsibility for leaking access to the model on Tuesday, which included a working interface, on Hugging Face, a public repository for AI tools.
According to an open letter, the artists accused OpenAI of exploiting their work for &#8220;unpaid R&amp;D&#8221; and &#8220;art washing.&#8221; They alleged that the company used them to create promotional credibility while denying fair compensation.
&#8220;We are sharing this to the world in the hopes that OpenAI becomes more open, more artist friendly, and supports the arts beyond PR stunts,&#8221; the letter read.

What Happened: Bitcoin fell to an intraday low of $90,770 before recovering to $92,500 in overnight hours. The corrective action has wiped all of the gains made over the week, halting the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s rise to $100,000.
Long-term Bitcoin holders have offloaded 728,000 coins in the past 30 days, marking the largest sell-off since April.

Over $364 million in long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, out of a total of $477 million. Bitcoin's Open Interest also declined by over 5% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
That said, the number of Binance traders going long on Bitcoin still heavily outpaced those betting against the asset, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to the Long/Shorts Ratio indicator.
Additionally, around $695 million in leveraged shorts risked liquidation if the apex cryptocurrency rebounds to $98,000.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.18 trillion, following a contraction of 2.29% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks climbed to new records Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 123.74 points, or 0.28%, to close at 44,860.31, while the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.57% to end at 6,021.63. Both the broad-based indexes closed at record highs. Tech-focused Nasdaq Composite added 0.63% higher to close at 19,175.58.
Investors parsed the minutes from the Federal Reserve meeting, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42198763/fed-minutes-reveal-confidence-in-inflation-reduction-yet-flag-divergent-views-on-interest-rate-path-ahead">revealed </a>a consensus among policymakers that inflation was gradually reducing.
Market participants raised the odds of a 25 basis-point cut in next month's FOMC meeting to 57.7%, up from 52.3% a day earlier, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according </a>to the CME FedWatch tool.
The personal consumption expenditure (PCE) data, considered the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, is slated to be released Wednesday.

Analyst Notes: In a note shared with Benzinga, Haider Rafique, Global Chief Marketing Officer at cryptocurrency exchange OKX, commented on why Bitcoin was fumbling around the $100,000 mark.
&#8220;There&#8217;s definitely profit-taking at these levels. The average holding price is around $30,000, representing a two to three-times upside for investors. So, there&#8217;s significant sell pressure, but we also see equal buyback pressure," Rafique stated.
He added, "Many people have had $100,000 as a price target for liquidation. We&#8217;re seeing institutions like MicroStrategy buying and holding significant supply, which naturally reduces available liquidity on exchanges and creates upward momentum."&nbsp;
Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez spotted a ‘buy signal' from the TD Sequential indicator on Bitcoin's hourly chart.
Additionally, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) forming a higher low, a bullish divergence was witnessed, potentially helping Bitcoin to rebound to $95,000-$96,000.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Tumble As 'Diamond Hands' Lock In Gains: Top Analyst Anticipates BTC Rebound

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). The trades included the sale of Tesla shares across multiple ETFs, reflecting strategic adjustments in Ark&#8217;s portfolio.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to sell Tesla shares on Tuesday was a continuation of its recent trading strategy. The ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) offloaded 33,837 shares, while the ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) sold 19,474 shares. With Tesla&#8217;s closing price at $338.23, these sales amounted to approximately $18.03 million. 
This move follows a series of trades where Ark has been recalibrating its holdings, including significant transactions involving Tesla earlier in the week. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42180029/ark-invest-shakes-up-portfolio-with-big-tesla-and-amazon-trades">Recent adjustments</a> came amid potential impacts from California&#8217;s consumer rebates proposal affecting Tesla&#8217;s eligibility.
Despite the sale, Cathie Wood has previously expressed a bullish outlook on Tesla&#8217;s future, particularly in the autonomous vehicle sector. She <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41200165/cathie-wood-predicts-trillion-dollar-revenue-opportunity-for-tesla-in-autonomous-vehicles-winner">envisions</a> a &#8220;trillion-dollar-plus revenue opportunity&#8221; for Tesla, driven by advancements in autonomous driving technology. Wood&#8217;s confidence in Tesla&#8217;s long-term prospects remains strong, even as Ark Invest strategically reallocates its portfolio. Wood&#8217;s predictions highlight the potential for Tesla to dominate the market with its innovative technologies.

Cathie Wood's Latest Tesla Dump: Ark Sells $18M Worth Of Stock

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has agreed to pay $43.25 million to settle a gender pay discrimination lawsuit, ending years of legal proceedings.
What Happened: The lawsuit, filed in 2019 by Disney employee LaRonda Rasmussen, alleged that she was paid less than male colleagues in similar roles.
The case expanded as more female employees joined, leading to a California judge granting class certification in December 2023.
Plaintiffs argued that Disney had a company-wide policy before 2018 that resulted in women receiving lower starting salaries than men.
This was partly due to basing pay on prior salaries, which often reflected gender disparities.
A labor economist&#8217;s analysis, cited by the plaintiffs, indicated that from 2015 to 2022, women at Disney earned less than their male counterparts, with a 2.01% female pay penalty.

Disney contested these findings, maintaining their commitment to fair pay. A Disney spokesperson stated, &#8220;We have always been committed to paying our employees fairly and have demonstrated that commitment throughout this case.&#8221;
Christine Webber, representing the plaintiffs, praised the women involved, stating, &#8220;This settlement would not be possible without these courageous women. Because of them, women can expect equitable treatment at Disney in the future.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The settlement comes amid a broader trend of gender pay discrimination lawsuits in major corporations.
Earlier this year in June, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/06/39322674/apple-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-over-alleged-unequal-pay-for-women">a class-action lawsuit</a> alleging unequal pay for women, highlighting ongoing issues in Silicon Valley.
Similarly, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) settled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32280690/goldman-sachs-woes-doesnt-end-women-employees-discrimination-lawsuit-costs-215m">gender discrimination lawsuit</a> for $215 million in May 2023, and Alphabet Inc. (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>) agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/06/27660579/google-agrees-to-pay-118m-to-settle-gender-discrimination-lawsuit">$118 million settlement</a> in June 2022.
Earlier this month, Disney reported strong financial performance, with a 6% revenue growth in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41971559/disneys-q4-boosted-by-streaming-gains-strong-box-office-and-solid-parks-performance">the fourth quarter of 2024</a>.
Price Action: Disney&#8217;s stock declined 0.47% on Tuesday, closing at $115.45, followed by a 0.11% drop in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, Disney shares have risen 27.27%, slightly outperforming the Nasdaq 100 index, which is up 26.47%, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">according to Benzinga Pro data</a>.
