Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is reportedly facing bipartisan criticism from U.S. senators over its plans to establish a facility in China, with concerns raised about the potential transfer of advanced technology to the country.
What Happened:&nbsp;Senators&nbsp;Jim Banks&nbsp;(R-Ind.) and&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) have written to Nvidia&#8217;s CEO&nbsp;Jensen Huang&nbsp;expressing their apprehensions about the company&#8217;s Shanghai facility,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/senators-bash-nvidias-plans-for-facility-in-china-6f581018">reported</a>&nbsp;The Wall Street Journal on Thursday. The senators have asked for a detailed timeline and overview of the facility's plans, including specific research and engineering initiatives, as well as any financial incentives involved.
The facility "raises significant national security and economic security issues that warrant serious review," the Senators wrote in the letter.&nbsp; An Nvidia spokesperson stated that the company is only&nbsp;leasing a new space for&nbsp;its existing employees, with no plans to send advanced chip designs to the facility. The company is currently navigating the U.S.-China tech war and has been criticized by China hawks for its overseas activities.
The company is trying to balance access to the world&#8217;s two largest economies while adhering to export restrictions. Nvidia&#8217;s overseas moves are under scrutiny due to fears that its artificial intelligence chips could fall into the hands of adversaries.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, reports emerged that Nvidia is considering a site in Shanghai for an R&amp;D center. As per Reuters, U.S. chipmaker Nvidia began site scouting in early 2025, focusing on Shanghai&#8217;s Minhang and Xuhui districts. The project accelerated following a surprise visit to China by CEO Jensen Huang last month.
Nvidia&#8217;s relationship with China has been a topic of discussion in the past. In May 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45513246/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-chinese-ai-researchers-are-world-class-and-us-companies-are-hiring-a-whole-bunch-of-them">criticized </a>U.S. chip export curbs as counterproductive to America&#8217;s technological leadership. He praised Chinese artificial intelligence researchers as &#8220;world-class&#8221;.
On Wednesday, Nvidia reported a strong first quarter, despite the China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">export ban</a> impacting results. Huang stated that demand was &#8216;incredibly strong.&#8217; This shows the importance of the Chinese market to Nvidia&#8217;s business.
Nvidia stock climbed 5.1% in the Thursday pre-market. Over the past year, it surged 17.4%, as per data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

ARB IOT Group shares are trading lower after the company announced a 1-for-15 reverse stock split.

REX Financial introduced the REX NVDA Growth &amp; Income ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVII#BATS">NVII</a>), the first in its new suite of single-stock covered calls. With this action, REX aims to capture a piece of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">fast-growing single-stock ETF</a> market as investors seek to ride NVDA&#8217;s potential for growth while profiting from volatility with a strategic options overlay.
The fund also represents the general <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250528202762/en/REX-Financial-Unveils-the-REX-NVDA-Growth-Income-ETF-the-First-Fund-in-New-Single-Stock-Covered-Call-ETF-Suite">launch </a>of REX&#8217;s Growth &amp; Income Covered Call ETF Suite. The new product suite builds on the company&#8217;s current covered call lineup, which consists of the REX FANG &amp; Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FEPI#NASDAQ">FEPI</a>), the REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIPI#NASDAQ">AIPI</a>) and the REX Crypto Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEPI#NASDAQ">CEPI</a>).

The fund seeks to provide a combination of leveraged exposure and regular income by going for daily leveraged exposure of 1.25x to Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), with the ability to vary between 1.05x and 1.50x based on the market environment. To provide a weekly income, the fund sells half of its NVDA-linked portfolio options.
Scott Acheychek, COO of REX Financial, said that Nvidia is leading the charge of the AI and semiconductor revolution, and NVII allows investors to enjoy exposure to the company while generating income.
Whereas single-share ETFs have tended to get investors&#8217; attention with concerns about concentration risk, REX&#8217;s approach seems aimed at finding a middle ground between all-out growth and income protection without topping out all the upside potential. As the artificial intelligence-fueled rally continues to push semiconductor stalwarts like NVDA into the limelight, NVII could attract those who want to ride momentum without managing a pure growth strategy.

Immunic shares are trading lower after the company announced a $65 million public offering.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is racing toward its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45548192/tesla-enters-its-most-bullish-window-this-seasonal-trade-delivered-24-average-gain-over-10-years">strongest monthly performance of the year</a>, with shares up over 22% in May, setting the stage for the best rally of 2025 so far. 
The stock is still down 5.9% year-to-date, but if the current pace holds, it will mark the company's biggest monthly gain since November 2024.
A shift in narrative is fueling the sudden turnaround: CEO Elon Musk appears to be back in the driver's seat at Tesla.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Laggard To Leader</h2>
Technically, the momentum is hard to ignore. Tesla shares are now trading at $356.90, sitting comfortably above all key simple moving averages (SMAs). The eight-day SMA ($347.20), 20-day SMA ($322.66), 50-day SMA ($284.17) and 200-day SMA ($301.64) all flash positive signals, suggesting a strong bullish trend. 
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 21.60 reinforces the upside bias, while the RSI (relative strength index) at 67.29 shows the stock is approaching overbought territory — implying potential near-term volatility, but not yet at extreme levels.
Despite a negative 5.9% return year-to-date, Tesla has rallied over 102% in the past 12 months, and May's performance may be the inflection point bulls were waiting for. Still, all eyes are on whether this rally has the legs to continue &#8211; or if it's running hot into a potential resistance zone.

Hedera (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hbar/usd">HBAR</a>) co-founder Dr. Leemon Baird says artificial intelligence will accelerate blockchain adoption by making development accessible to non-technical users, while predicting that &#8220;everything of value in the world&#8221; will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44456074/tokenization-will-merge-crypto-and-equities-bernstein">tokenized within five years</a>.
What Happened: Baird said during an interview with Benzinga at Consensus 2025 that building an AI system, agent or software is hard.
&#8220;What we have is AI Studio that makes it easy. And so it helps you to add AI to your apps and to make it be able to do all the things you want to do,&#8221; he said.
Hedera&#8217;s AI Studio integrates with Eliza OS and includes an MCP server and SDK designed to democratize blockchain development. 
The platform addresses security concerns by implementing a two-step approval process for consequential actions. 
The AI does the &#8220;fuzzy squishy stuff&#8221; but the consequential work is passed to non-AI software and approved by humans, Baird said.
The company has also partnered with Intel and Nvidia through Equity Lab to create immutable records of AI model training data. 
This system addresses growing concerns about data provenance and permissions in AI development. 
&#8220;The chip that does the training that builds the model will digitally sign off and say &#8216;Yep, that&#8217;s the data I use and that&#8217;s the model I created,'&#8221; Baird explained, noting this creates permanent proof of when models were trained and with what permissions.

Why It Matters: Hedera currently supports &#8220;a million people building on top of it&#8221; as a Layer-1 blockchain with dollar-denominated transaction fees that allow businesses to predict costs. 
The platform emphasizes governance through its council structure while maintaining high transaction speeds and low costs.
Regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45585060/pantera-ceo-predicts-surge-in-crypto-ipos-as-us-regulatory-tone-turns-favorable">regulatory clarity</a>, Baird expressed optimism about the changing landscape. 
&#8220;Regulation has been well tangled but also just non-existent. No one knew. You had to guess whether what you&#8217;re doing is okay or not. And so now we&#8217;re going to have clarity,&#8221; he said, adding that this applies to both Web3 and AI development.
What&#8217;s Next: Looking ahead, Baird envisions dramatic changes in how assets are managed and traded. 
He predicts &#8220;everything of value in the world [to be] tokenized&#8221; and tradable within seconds and without middlemen. 
Baird forecasts a safe and quasi-free trading infrastructure, citing title searches on houses as an example that &#8220;will take seconds and be almost free.&#8221;
The co-founder also highlighted AI trustworthiness as a critical challenge, noting that digital signatures and identity verification will become essential as AI-generated content becomes indistinguishable from authentic material.
