Ethereum Price Soars Past $4,000: What Is Going On With ETH?

As digital assets continue to reshape financial systems, custody solutions are emerging as a central concern for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/institutional-investors">retail and institutional investors</a>. 
During a panel at the recent Benzinga Future of Digital Assets conference, industry leaders explored the evolving role of custody in safeguarding digital assets, balancing security with accessibility, and building trust through transparency.
Kevin Maloney, CEO of iTrustCapital, explained how his platform accommodates over 55,000 users by collaborating with custodians such as Fire Blocks and Coinbase Prime. Our clients want safety and peace of mind without the technical burden of managing their keys," Maloney explained. The company employs a blend of offline cold storage and controlled online withdrawal access, providing security and functionality.

The ability to meet user demands while maintaining robust safeguards has become an essential focus for custody providers. As Maloney described, this approach ensures assets remain secure while accommodating the needs of users moving funds in and out regularly.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Building Trust Through Transparency</h3>
Paul Giordano, vice president of digital asset management at Marathon Digital Holdings, highlighted how public companies depend on audited, federally chartered banks to store digital assets. "Transparency and accountability are non-negotiable. It's the foundation of our strategy," Giordano said.
Maloney proposed adopting regular spot checks for custodians to bolster trust. "Annual audits don't go far enough. Investors need to see proof of reserves more frequently to have real confidence," he stated.
The panel also addressed past industry failures and their lessons. Giordano pointed to rehypothecation, where assets are repeatedly pledged as collateral, as a critical risk. "This practice creates instability and can lead to systemic failures during market downturns," he warned.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Accountability as a Path Forward</h3>
While custody technology has become more reliable, the panelists agreed that human errors and unethical practices often create the most significant risks. Ben Spiegelman, vice president at Figment, emphasized this point: &#8220;The real issues have been about bad actors misusing assets rather than technical vulnerabilities."
Looking to the future, the panelists expressed optimism about greater collaboration between traditional financial institutions and digital asset providers. Giordano remarked on the involvement of established players like State Street, which he believes could help bring more clarity and order to the industry.
Maloney also emphasized education as a vital component of adoption. "The more transparent and clear we are, the easier it will be for new participants to feel confident in this space," he said.
By addressing past missteps and prioritizing transparency, custody providers are laying the groundwork for a more secure and trustworthy digital asset ecosystem. As Spiegelman aptly summarized, "Building trust is essential to encouraging adoption and delivering meaningful value to users."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RIVN Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Rivian Automotive &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RIVN has a 52-week high of $24.62 and a 52-week low of $8.26.

Phunware Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHUN#NASDAQ">PHUN</a>), once a darling of traders during Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign, may be on the verge of a significant technical milestone &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/golden-cross">a Golden Cross</a>. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/16122459/Screenshot-2024-12-16-at-10.17.24-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-694326" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/16122459/Screenshot-2024-12-16-at-10.17.24-PM.png 630w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/16122459/Screenshot-2024-12-16-at-10.17.24-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></figure>

Despite recent bearish trends, this potential shift in momentum has sparked renewed interest in the stock.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PHUN Stock: From Bearish Signals To Bullish Potential</h2>
Phunware&#8217;s current technical indicators paint a grim picture. Its stock price, at $4.39, remains below all major moving averages: the eight-day, 20-day, 50-day and even the 200-day simple moving averages. 
The MACD indicator sits at a negative 0.36, and its RSI of 43.75 reflects ongoing selling pressure.
For now, the technicals remain firmly bearish, signaling a tough road ahead.
But a Golden Cross—a bullish pattern where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average—could mark a turning point. Historically, such events signal a shift from bearish to bullish momentum, attracting traders looking to ride the wave of an uptrend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Ambitions: A New Catalyst?</h2>
While its technicals simmer, Phunware is busy reinventing itself. The company <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/phunware-which-soared-as-a-trump-trade-preps-ai-driven-canvassing-tool-1830f7d5">recently</a> announced its development of an AI-powered canvassing tool in collaboration with MyCanvass, a voter-engagement platform founded by Brad Parscale, Trump's former campaign manager. 
The tool aims to provide campaigns with actionable insights on voter sentiment and outreach effectiveness. Interim CEO Stephen Chen describes it as &#8220;AI-powered civic engagement,&#8221; with broad applications beyond politics, including community building and trust enhancement.
Phunware is also betting big on generative AI, with plans to launch a platform by mid-2025. While leadership changes, including the departure of its CEO and CFO, create some uncertainty, Chen insists the company is well-positioned for growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Path Ahead</h2>
Phunware's stock may still be navigating bearish waters, but the looming golden cross, coupled with its ambitious AI-driven plans, could breathe new life into this former &#8216;Trump trade.&#8217; 
For now, traders are watching closely to see if technical signals align with the company&#8217;s bold new direction.
