MicroStrategy, SoFi Technologies And Carvana Are Among Top Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (Jan 13-Jan 17): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

TikTok went dark in the U.S. at around 10:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night, with a pop-up message on the widely used app expressing hope that President-elect Donald Trump will intervene after he takes office.
What Happened: ByteDance&#8216;s TikTok became inaccessible in the U.S. about an hour and a half before the scheduled shutdown. Usere were then met with a pop-up message that read, &#8220;Sorry, TikTok isn&#8217;t available right now.&#8221;
As per a report <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/01/18/tiktok-banned-in-america/77728915007/">by</a> USA Today, the ban was implemented due to fears that Beijing might use the app to influence U.S. public opinion and collect sensitive user data, as the app is owned by a Chinese company.
&#8220;A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can&#8217;t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!&#8221; the message read for users. 
&#8220;Just watched TikTok shut down in real time. First the likes and comments stopped working, then saving was disabled, then no new videos would load, then I was kicked out. The last TikTok I could see was of someone peacefully bopping along to if I were a fish,&#8221; one TikTok user wrote on X.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Consequently,&nbsp;app store providers and internet&nbsp;hosting services could be hit with substantial penalties for making TikTok accessible to U.S. users.

Subsequent to the ban, TikTok was removed from both&nbsp;Apple and Google&#8216;s app stores.&nbsp;Oracle, a provider of cloud computing services, instructed its employees to turn off the servers that hosted TikTok.
Over 170 million monthly users in the U.S., for whom TikTok was a vital part of their daily routine, are now grappling with its absence.
Trump is said to be exploring ways to delay the ban. He said on Saturday that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43074714/donald-trump-may-grant-tiktok-a-90-day-reprieve-from-us-ban">he may provide a 90-day extension to TikTok to delay or prevent a ban in the U.S.</a>
However, TikTok did not hold out for a last-minute stay and chose to shut down instead. CEO Shou Chew expressed his gratitude to Trump in a video on the app and hinted at future developments, stating, &#8220;More to come.&#8221; Shou is expected to attend Trump&#8217;s inauguration on Monday.
Despite the ban, there is still a chance for TikTok to return to the U.S. market if Trump can find a solution, or if the app divests its U.S. operations. Chinese officials have reportedly considered the option of allowing Elon Musk to invest in or assume control of its U.S. operations.
Why It Matters: The sudden ban on TikTok in the U.S. has not only left millions of users without their favorite app, but also raised concerns about data privacy and international business operations. 
The potential involvement of Musk could signal a significant shift in the tech landscape. The future of TikTok in the U.S. remains uncertain, with potential legal and political battles on the horizon.

Apple Watch to the Rescue
In a podcast interview, Apple CEO Cook revealed how the Apple Watch saved his father&#8217;s life.

Despite the positive outcome, Cook&#8217;s father was reportedly more upset about the door that had to be broken down by the emergency services.

Apple is reportedly in talks with&nbsp;Barclays Plc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCS#NYSE">BCS</a>)&nbsp;and Synchrony Financial to replace Goldman Sachs as its credit card partner.

Apple&#8217;s Declining Market Share in China
Apple&#8217;s market share in China is reportedly on the decline, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The decrease in iPhone shipments and the cautious approach to 2025 iPhone production plans are cited as reasons for this decline.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)&nbsp;CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple for its lack of innovation and restrictive policies. He suggested that Apple&#8217;s potential downfall could be imminent if it doesn&#8217;t adapt to the rapidly changing industry.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extending support to wildfire-stricken California, Mary Trump criticizing her uncle&#8217;s wildfire comments, Steve Bannon targeting Elon Musk, and a significant shift in cannabis policy.

Biden's Tech Oligarchy Warning, Tesla's Wildfire Support, Bannon's Musk Attack, And Cannabis Policy Shift: This Week In Politics

When it comes to modern politics, it's not just about policies – it's about how you sell them. And according to billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Democrats and Republicans are playing vastly different games when it comes to winning over voters.
Cuban's comments came during a <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lfiyz2sycs2d">discussion</a> on Bluesky about job growth under President Joe Biden. While Biden boasts impressive numbers – 16.1 million jobs <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/10/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-the-december-2024-jobs-report/">created</a>, more than the full terms of Trump, Obama or George W. Bush–Cuban thinks these numbers aren't connecting with everyday people the way they should.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>With 100+ historic trademarks including some of the high grossing characters in history, like Cinderella, Snow White and Peter Pan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">this company is transforming the $2 trillion entertainment market with patented AR, VR, and AI tech. — For a short window, investors are able to claim $2/share ($980 min).</a></li>

</ul>
The conversation started when Peter Baker, chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times and MSNBC analyst, shared an Axios article that highlighted how more jobs have been created under Biden than during the full terms of Trump, Obama or Bush 43.
In response, journalist Kara Swisher said, &#8220;It is truly about who tells a better story – or really a story people want to hear and makes them see what they believe rather than believe what they see.&#8221;
Cuban replied, &#8220;The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties. The Dems couldn&#8217;t sell dollar bills for 50c. Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5. When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Numbers Don't Lie</h2>
Axios reported that the U.S. economy has added more jobs under Biden than any of his recent predecessors. In 2024 alone, 2.23 million jobs were created, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42912480/us-economy-adds-256000-payrolls-in-december-as-tight-labor-market-tops-forecasts-dollar-treasury-yields-spike">including 256,000 in December</a>. Here's how it stacks up:
<ul>
<li>Joe Biden (2021–2024): +16.1 million jobs</li>
<li>Donald Trump (2017–2020): -2.1 million jobs (pandemic losses; pre-pandemic gains: +6.6 million)</li>
<li>Barack Obama (2009–2016): +7.1 million jobs</li>
<li>George W. Bush (2001–2008): +5.2 million jobs</li>
</ul>
By comparison, Bill Clinton's presidency saw a whopping 23 million jobs added. However, Biden's annual average growth is higher, driven by the post-pandemic recovery. Despite these numbers, Cuban argues that the Democrats are failing to share this message and connect with voters.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Masterclass in Selling</h2>
Trump, on the other hand, has mastered the art of selling. He understands his audience and crafts simple, catchy ideas that stick. From rallies to social media posts, he's turned complicated issues into statements his supporters can get behind.
Cuban's metaphor about dollar bills stresses the stark difference in approach. While Trump can persuade his followers to buy into his vision – even at a premium – the Democrats struggle to make their case even when the value is obvious.
After all, Trump famously said in 2016, &#8220;I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn&#8217;t lose any voters. It&#8217;s, like, incredible.&#8221;
Cuban's critique is a wake-up call for Democrats to rethink their approach. Biden's job growth numbers are strong, but without a good story to back them up, they're being drowned out by louder, flashier messages from Republicans.
In a world driven by algorithms and attention spans measured in seconds, the ability to sell a story is a necessity. As Cuban points out, that&#8217;s where the Democrats are failing.

Mark Cuban Says Trump's Messaging Skills Overshadow Biden's 16 Million Jobs–'He Can Sell Them Dollar Bills For $5'

Online trading platform Robinhood reportedly transferred a whopping 131 million Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) within the span of an hour, sparking intrigue and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42256959/dogecoin-trading-volume-skyrockets-76-indicating-potential-major-price-upswing">speculation among crypto enthusiasts</a>.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://whale-alert.io/transaction/dogecoin/942ce5c784b2e9f4d6c5b0fde2c028767d54eefd13c00068b10c71c543c80935">data</a>, this massive amount of DOGE was moved in two significant transactions.
The initial&nbsp;transaction involved the transfer of&nbsp;80,452,117 DOGE, valued at approximately&nbsp;$33,127,063, from Robinhood to an&nbsp;unidentified wallet. 
The subsequent transaction witnessed&nbsp;51,954,195 DOGE, worth around $21,334,106,&nbsp;being transferred from Robinhood to leading cryptocurrency exchange,&nbsp;Coinbase.

These considerable transactions could&nbsp;be associated with whales or&nbsp;institutional entities. The transfer to Coinbase might imply&nbsp;a potential sale or preparation&nbsp;for trading activity.

Conversely,&nbsp;the transfer to an unknown&nbsp;wallet could suggest private custody or acquisition&nbsp;by a large holder or&nbsp;whale. Nevertheless, the precise motive behind the transfers remains a mystery.
Why It Matters: These recent transactions underscore the increasing activity and interest in DOGE. The transfers could potentially indicate a shift in the market dynamics, with large players possibly moving their assets for various strategic reasons. However, without concrete information, these remain speculative assumptions.
The movement of such a large amount of DOGE also highlights the role of Robinhood as a significant player in the crypto trading space. The platform&#8217;s involvement in these transactions could have implications for its user base and the broader crypto market.

Robinhood Moves 131 Million DOGE In An Hour: What's Happening?

Billionaire hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller regrets the decision to sell his fund&#8217;s stake in Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a frontrunner in the artificial intelligence sector.
What Happened: In an interview with Bloomberg last year, Druckenmiller confessed that offloading Nvidia was a &#8220;big mistake.&#8221; The decision was primarily driven by the stock&#8217;s valuation, given that its price had tripled within a span of a year.
Nvidia, a significant player in the AI realm, has been registering&nbsp;record revenue and profit growth,&nbsp;courtesy of its industry-leading graphics processing unit (GPU) technology.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Despite Druckenmiller&#8217;s remorse, other billionaire investors like Ken Griffin of Citadel and David Shaw of D.E. Shaw have also downsized their Nvidia holdings.&nbsp;David Tepper of Appaloosa Management&nbsp;offloaded a substantial chunk of his Nvidia stake due to uncertainties surrounding long-term performance.

While Nvidia continues to reign supreme in the GPU market, several of its clients,&nbsp;including Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla,&nbsp;and Meta Platforms, are venturing into chip development. This could potentially decelerate Nvidia&#8217;s growth due to heightened competition.
Despite the promising outlook, some speculate that the stock&#8217;s recent surge is not entirely rooted in solid fundamentals, but is more likely a result of clever marketing strategies in the run-up to the Blackwell launch.
Why It Matters: The regret expressed by Druckenmiller underscores the potential of Nvidia and the AI industry. Despite the stock&#8217;s high valuation and increased competition, Nvidia&#8217;s innovative technology and potential revenue growth make it a key player in the market. 
However, the decisions of other billionaire investors to reduce their positions highlight the uncertainties surrounding the company&#8217;s long-term performance.

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller: Selling This AI Stock Was a 'Big Mistake'

President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that he may provide a 90-day extension to ByteDance-owned TikTok to delay or prevent a ban in the U.S.
What Happened: During an interview with NBC on Saturday, Trump suggested that he is &#8220;most likely&#8221; to grant TikTok a 90-day extension from a potential U.S. ban.
"I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it's appropriate. You know, it's appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It's a very big situation," Trump said.
This extension would provide ByteDance additional time to sell to a non-Chinese buyer, in compliance with the law enacted by President Joe Biden last year. However, Trump&#8217;s final decision on this matter is still pending.
As reported <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-likely-give-tiktok-90-day-extension-avoid-ban-rcna188258">by</a> NBC News, the existing deadline for TikTok&#8217;s compliance is midnight Sunday. An extension announced on Monday might not be able to prevent the app from going offline for at least a day. The future of TikTok has been a major concern during the last days of the Biden administration.
The Biden administration has consistently stated that it does not intend to enforce the law, thereby shifting the responsibility to the incoming Trump administration. However, TikTok expressed apprehensions on Friday that the assurances from the White House might&nbsp;not be enough to prevent&nbsp;the app from being shut down.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43073056/tiktok-says-it-will-be-forced-to-go-dark-in-us-on-jan-19-after-supreme-court-upholds-ban">TikTok Says It Will Be &#8216;Forced To Go Dark&#8217; In US On Jan 19 After Supreme Court Upholds Ban</a>
Trump&#8217;s potential support for TikTok marks a significant departure from his previous&nbsp;stance during his first term,&nbsp;when he attempted to ban the app along with&nbsp;the Chinese messaging app WeChat.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, on Saturday, the Biden administration called TikTok&#8217;s statement on going dark on Sunday a &#8220;stunt.&#8221;
&#8220;It is a stunt, and we see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump Administration takes office on Monday,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told Reuters. 
&#8220;We have laid out our position clearly and straightforwardly: actions to implement this law will fall to the next administration. So TikTok and other companies should take up concerns with them.&#8221;
&#8220;President Biden&#8217;s position on TikTok has been clear for months, including since Congress sent a bill in overwhelming, bipartisan fashion to the President&#8217;s desk: TikTok should remain available to Americans, but simply under American ownership or other ownership that addresses the national security concerns identified by Congress in developing this law,&#8221; Jean-Pierre added in the statement.
Why It Matters: TikTok&#8217;s potential ban in the US has been a contentious issue, with the app&#8217;s fate hanging in the balance during the transition between the Biden and Trump administrations. 
The proposed 90-day extension could provide much-needed respite for TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, allowing them additional time to comply with US regulations. 
However, the future of the app in the US market remains uncertain until a final decision is made by the incoming Trump administration.

Trump Floats Possibility of 90-Day Reprieve From TikTok Ban

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has shown interest in funding a TikTok alternative. This move comes in light of the potential shutdown of TikTok this weekend, with Cuban considering leveraging the protocol developed by microblogging site Bluesky.
What Happened: Cuban is contemplating this step in response to legislation requiring TikTok to sell its platform or face a nationwide ban. ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, has continually asserted that it is not for sale.
In a TikTok video on his account Tuesday, Cuban proposed this&nbsp;alternative version of the video-sharing&nbsp;app. 
He said, &#8220;There&#8217;s an app called Bluesky and it&#8217;s built on the AT Protocol. I would be open to investing in supporting anybody — or somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the AT Protocol.&#8221;
Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform, enables users to host their data on servers not owned by the company. The platform, created by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey in 2019, has expanded to a user base of over 27 million people, <a href="https://gizmodo.com/mark-cuban-says-hell-back-a-tiktok-alternative-built-off-blueskys-protocol-2000551599">reports</a> Gizmodo.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43073056/tiktok-says-it-will-be-forced-to-go-dark-in-us-on-jan-19-after-supreme-court-upholds-ban">TikTok Says It Will Be &#8216;Forced To Go Dark&#8217; In US On Jan 19 After Supreme Court Upholds Ban</a>
However, the fate of TikTok&#8217;s U.S. app remains uncertain. Reports suggest that the company is seeking a last-minute reprieve from incoming President Donald Trump. TikTok CEO Shou Chew is scheduled to attend Trump&#8217;s inauguration, and Trump is reportedly contemplating an executive order to save the platform.
Why It Matters: The potential shutdown of TikTok in the U.S. has sparked interest in alternatives to the popular video-sharing platform. Cuban&#8217;s proposal of a TikTok alternative based on Bluesky&#8217;s protocol could potentially offer a new avenue for social media users, especially with the growing concerns over data privacy. 
The move also highlights the increasing interest in decentralized social media platforms, which offer users more control over their data. 
The unfolding events surrounding TikTok&#8217;s future in the U.S. will undoubtedly have significant implications for the social media landscape.

Mark Cuban Open To Financing TikTok Alternative Based on Bluesky Protocol

The cryptocurrency market saw a notable surge on Saturday. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) all experienced a rise in value, as traders anticipate a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42379899/trump-fuels-bitcoin-rally-but-where-will-it-go-next-year">&#8216;Trump bump&#8217; with the upcoming second Donald Trump presidency.</a>
What Happened: The crypto market sprung to life on the final trading day before the Trump&nbsp;administration takes over. Bitcoin spearheaded the rally, surging 2.81% and almost touching&nbsp;$104,987 per token. Ethereum (ETH&nbsp;-0.22%) and Dogecoin (DOGE -0.16%) also saw gains.
There is widespread speculation that President-elect Trump will prioritize cryptocurrency, with rumors of an executive order on his first day in office. This might include the appointment of a more crypto-friendly chairman for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
However, traders are advised to be cautious of the speed of policy changes in Washington. While changes to the industry&#8217;s rules may require congressional action, this doesn&#8217;t necessarily translate to a direct value gain for meme coins and blockchain tokens.
Instead, it could lead to&nbsp;assets like stocks and bonds&nbsp;trading&nbsp;on the blockchain and more&nbsp;business formation taking place on the blockchain.

Despite the current speculation-driven surge, the market may face disappointment if the news doesn&#8217;t meet high expectations. 
The Federal Reserve cannot&nbsp;make Bitcoin or any other&nbsp;cryptocurrency a reserve currency without&nbsp;Congressional action, which seems unlikely in the current political climate.
The market movement today is largely driven by speculation that Trump will be beneficial for the crypto market. However, similar speculation in 2021 led to a market crash in 2022, cautioning investors against buying tokens based solely on speculation.
Why It Matters: The potential for a &#8216;Trump bump&#8217; in the cryptocurrency market is significant, given the President-elect&#8217;s rumored focus on this sector. 
However, the history of speculation-driven surges and crashes in the crypto market serves as a warning to investors. The potential for policy changes under the new administration could have far-reaching implications for the industry, but these changes are uncertain and could take time to implement.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin Spike on Optimism Over New Trump Presidency

As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) nears the $106,000 mark, the probability of the U.S. establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve has surged to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42049183/heres-how-a-bitcoin-whale-nets-179m-from-a-120-investment">an all-time high of 70%</a>.
What Happened: Well-known venture capitalist and Bitcoin enthusiast Anthony Pompliano shared data indicating a significant increase in the likelihood of incoming president Donald Trump creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve in 2025.
This information was shared as Bitcoin briefly hit the $106,000 mark before experiencing a minor pullback. The cryptocurrency is currently trading at $103,120 per coin, marking&nbsp;a 2.71% decline within several&nbsp;hours.
The speculation surrounding the new presidential administration&#8217;s plans to approve&nbsp;the creation of a strategic&nbsp;Bitcoin reserve has been a key factor in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s recent price surge.

Another significant factor driving Bitcoin&#8217;s price is the upcoming inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has also recently received court permission to sell 69,370 BTC seized from a Silk Road hacker in 2020.
The sale could net the US government over $7 billion, but many in the crypto community hope President Trump will prevent the sale and retain the Bitcoin for the proposed strategic reserve.
Why It Matters: The establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve by the US government would be a significant endorsement for the cryptocurrency, potentially driving its value even higher. 
The move would also mark a shift in the government&#8217;s stance towards cryptocurrencies, which have been viewed with skepticism by some regulators.
The potential sale of the seized Bitcoin by the DOJ could also have a significant impact on the market. If the sale goes ahead, it could flood the market with Bitcoin, potentially driving down the price.

The meeting, which lasted around an hour, focused on a range of issues concerning New York City, including border security, the deportation of violent offenders, and ways the federal government could assist with the city&#8217;s needs, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/eric-adams-donald-trump-meeting/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> CBS News.
Adams also highlighted discussions on improving public safety through the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas and the potential for bringing manufacturing jobs back to New York, especially in the Bronx.
In a statement, Adams described the conversation as productive, emphasizing the importance of federal investments in New York, particularly regarding infrastructure and public safety, CBS News adds. He noted that working with the federal government is crucial to the success of New York City.
While the meeting itself was not surprising, as Adams has consistently shown a willingness to engage with all levels of government, some of his political opponents raised concerns about an ulterior motive.

Adams, however, dismissed these claims, stating that his primary focus was on securing federal assistance for New York.
He reaffirmed his intention to collaborate with the incoming administration for the benefit of the city&#8217;s residents, CBS News adds.
This meeting came as preparations were underway for Trump's inauguration, including heightened security measures in Washington, D.C. With the inauguration now moved indoors due to freezing temperatures, security concerns remain a priority as 250,000 guests, including prominent figures, prepare to attend.

Mayor Eric Adams Meets Donald Trump Before Inauguration: Focus on NYC Priorities and Federal Help

In the wake of the launch of a meme coin themed to President-elect Donald Trump, the cryptocurrency Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) has surged 15% on Saturday.
What Happened: According to Coinmarketcap, the SOL token of Solana experienced a significant value increase following the launch of a Trump-themed meme coin on the Solana blockchain. 
On Saturday, SOL&#8217;s price soared more than 15% to $254.71. The newly introduced meme coin, named &#8220;Official Trump&#8221; (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), was unveiled on Trump&#8217;s social media accounts late Friday and has since garnered more than $5 billion, making it the largest meme coin on the Solana network, according <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/solana-meme-coins">to</a> CoinGecko.
Trump himself, and entities directly connected to him, have earned as much as $25 billion from the offering, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/18/trump-meme-coin-25-billion">according</a> to Axios.
This development is timed ahead of Trump&#8217;s inauguration on Monday, which is anticipated to usher in a new era of innovation and productivity in the crypto industry. It also coincides with the conclusion of Gary Gensler&#8216;s term as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Solana,&nbsp;the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market&nbsp;cap, was established in 2020 as a quicker and more affordable alternative to Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). It hosts&nbsp;popular meme coins like dogwifhat and&nbsp;Pudgy Penguins, in addition to&nbsp;decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming&nbsp;projects.
The decision deadline&nbsp;for potential ETFs from Bitwise,&nbsp;VanEck, 21Shares, and Canary is January 25. ProShares&nbsp;also filed for four different&nbsp;ETFs based on SOL on Friday.
Why It Matters: The introduction of the Trump-themed memecoin and its subsequent success highlights the growing influence of political figures on the cryptocurrency market. 
The surge in Solana&#8217;s value following the meme coin&#8217;s launch underscores the potential of such themed coins to drive market trends. With the end of Gensler&#8217;s term, the crypto industry is poised for potential regulatory changes that could further impact the market dynamics.

According to a report <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/17/crypto-money-trump-inauguration-00199088">by</a> Politico, these contributions will be used to finance official events related to the inauguration, symbolizing the industry&#8217;s support for Trump, who is anticipated to be the first U.S. president with a clear pro-crypto stance.
The cryptocurrency industry also hosted a sold-out unofficial inaugural ball on Friday night at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington. The event, which included Snoop Dogg as a musical guest, was partly organized by David Bailey, who manages a Bitcoin conference where Trump was a speaker last summer.

Ripple, currently facing&nbsp;enforcement action from the SEC, has&nbsp;donated $5 million in digital&nbsp;tokens to the inaugural committee.&nbsp;U.S. crypto exchanges Coinbase and&nbsp;Kraken, as well as stablecoin company Circle, each donated $1 million. Online brokerage Robinhood made a contribution of $2 million.
Why It Matters: These donations have sparked controversy, with Democrats and watchdog groups accusing the president of trading influence. However, the crypto industry perceives this as a celebratory moment and a chance to interact with the incoming administration. 
Amid ongoing regulatory uncertainties, these firms are likely seeking to build a strong relationship with the new administration, hoping for a more favorable regulatory climate for cryptocurrencies.

Crypto Firms Donate Millions to Trump Inaugural Fund, Host Unofficial Ball Featuring Snoop Dogg

According to the New York Post. According to the New York Post, creating &#8220;a modern-day Berkshire Hathaway&#8221; is no mean feat, but that&#8217;s exactly what billionaire investor and hedge fund manager <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/01/42991402/bill-ackman-backs-former-hedge-funder-whitney-tilson-for-nyc-mayor">Bill Ackman</a> intends to do. The Pershing Square CEO plans to increase his stake in real estate company Howard Hughes Holdings and take the company private.&nbsp;
Ackman said in a letter to investors that Pershing currently holds a 37.6% stake in HHH and plans to offer $85 a share to buy out the rest of the firm.

&#8220;With apologies to Mr. Buffet, HHH would become a modern-day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43004055/warren-buffett-has-advice-for-people-trying-to-get-rich-by-copying-his-moves-you-can-piggyback-but-you-cant-buy-the-whole-businesses">Berkshire Hathaway </a>that would acquire controlling interests in operating companies,&#8221; Ackman, 58, who has a net worth of $9.2 billion, wrote.&nbsp;
Following the news, Howard Hughes shares increased 9.5% to $78.62. Ackman has been involved with the real estate company for a decade and only stepped down from its board in April after serving as its chairman since 2010.
&#8220;We, like other long-term shareholders and this board, have been displeased with the company&#8217;s stock price performance,&#8221; Ackman said in the letter, according to<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/billionaire-ackmans-pershing-square-offers-85-per-share-rest-howard-hughes-2025-01-13/#:~:text=Ackman%20has%20been%20personally%20involved,Sign%20up%20here."> Reuters</a>. When the deal is complete, it would increase Pershing Square&#8217;s stake in Howard Hughes to somewhere between 61% and 69%, depending on how many investors agree to be bought out from the 38% it currently holds.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Roots Of Howard Hughes</h2>
Howard Hughes was an offshoot of real estate investment trust General Growth Properties, forming its own entity in 2010. It owns and manages various types of US real estate, including commercial, residential and mixed-use. It has a market value of $3.6 billion.&nbsp;
Ackman formed Pershing Square in 2004. One of his most notable moves was the rescue of mall operator General Growth Properties, from which he became involved in Howard Hughes. According to Forbes, Pershing Square&#8217;s stock portfolio is concentrated in seven companies, including Chipotle, Hilton and Google parent Alphabet, the latter of which he has over 20% of its stock invested, according to<a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2024/02/26/billionaire-bill-ackman-20-percent-1-stock/#:~:text=resources%2C%20and%20more.-,Billionaire%20Bill%20Ackman%20Has%20Nearly%2020%25%20of%20His%20Pershing%20Square,in%201%20%22Magnificent%20Seven%22%20Stock&amp;text=Bill%20Ackman's%20firm%20took%20advantage,strength%20are%20all%20attractive%20traits"> </a>The Motley Fool.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Shrewd Gamble On Alphabet</h2>
Ackman has been bullish on Google&#8217;s parent company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43014233/google-expands-collaboration-with-associated-press-to-deliver-up-to-date-information-in-gemini-ai-app">Alphabet</a>. When Google&#8217;s answer to ChatGPT, Bard, stumbled and the share price dropped, Ackman began aggressively buying stock. His Pershing Square hedge fund owns class A and class C shares of the tech giant worth roughly $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2024. It was a prescient move. In the second quarter of 2024, Google Cloud revenue increased 29% to $10.3 billion. Its operating income almost tripled year over year to $1.17 billion. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in the Q2 earnings call that his company&#8217;s generative AI solutions &#8220;have already generated billions in revenues and are being used by more than 2 million developers.&#8221;
In emulating Berkshire Hathaway with his Howard Hughes purchase, Ackman is again carefully treading in Warren Buffet&#8217;s footsteps. Preferring to look at a company&#8217;s enduring competitive advantage over short-term stumbles is a classic Berkshire Hathaway move. Ackman has been quite open about sticking to the Buffet playbook. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been a kind of Warren Buffett devotee,&#8221; he told<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/28/cnbc-transcript-pershing-square-capital-management-ceo-bill-ackman-speaks-with-cnbcs-scott-wapner-live-during-the-cnbc-delivering-alpha-conference-today.html"> CNBC</a> in 2023. &#8220;He&#8217;s been my unofficial mentor for many years.&#8221;&nbsp;

Bill Ackman Offers $1B For Real Estate Giant Howard Hughes To Emulate Berkshire Hathaway

President-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a> has confirmed that his inaugural address on Monday will take place indoors in the Capitol Rotunda due to dangerously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43036258/polar-vortex-brings-winters-coldest-air-for-trumps-inauguration-day-what-it-means-for-utilities-retailers-energy-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cold weather in Washington, D.C.</a>
The move comes as temperatures are expected to plunge into the teens, with the wind chill making it feel even colder, BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceq9917rl18o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Trump announced the move indoors on his Truth Social platform, saying he didn't want anyone to be harmed by the extreme conditions, particularly the tens of thousands of law enforcement, first responders, and supporters expected to attend.
The inaugural parade, as well as the three official inaugural balls, will also be moved indoors to the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, about a mile from the Capitol.
While the change in venue is a historic first for a U.S. presidential inauguration, it is not unprecedented.
The last time an inauguration was held indoors was in 1985 at the start of President Ronald Reagan's second term, when similarly harsh weather forced the ceremony indoors, BBC adds.

Polymarket Traders Say There&#8217;s A Chance</a>
Temperatures in Washington on Inauguration Day are expected to be unusually cold, with lows dipping to 12°F (-11°C) and highs reaching only 23°F (-5°C).
The cold is part of a larger polar vortex affecting much of the country.
For those planning to attend, Trump advised on social media to "dress warmly" if they decide to brave the elements, though he emphasized that everyone's safety would come first, BBC reports.
In addition to the indoor address, a live viewing of the inaugural speech will be available at the Capital One Arena.
Trump, who plans to visit the arena after his swearing-in ceremony, expressed confidence that the event would still be memorable and safe for all involved.
Despite the changes, Trump reassured his supporters that the inauguration would still be a historic occasion, calling for a united effort to "Make America Great Again."
Although attendance will be limited due to the indoor setting, the event will be broadcast widely, allowing many to witness the occasion from afar.

Dangerous Temperatures Force Trump Inauguration Indoors

Top banks reported strong earnings this week, with impressive results from Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>).
Despite significant gains in their stock prices, analysts believe these banks still have room for growth, thanks to lower price-to-earnings multiples compared to the broader market, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/17/jim-cramer-parses-bank-earnings-stocks-have-quite-a-bit-more-upside.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> CNBC.
Investors who owned shares in these banks likely benefitted from the positive earnings reports, with some experts suggesting adding one or two of these names to portfolios moving forward.
Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; reviewed the week&#8217;s earnings and expressed confidence in the banking sector&#8217;s continued potential.
Cramer also discussed how next week&#8217;s market could be influenced by the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, who is expected to take action on deregulation and other pro-business policies, CNBC reports.

Cramer noted he is optimistic about results from 3M Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) and United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), predicting a strong quarter for both.
He is especially bullish on GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), citing the growing demand for energy in the data center sector, though he is more cautious about Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>)&nbsp;&nbsp;due to market uncertainties.
With earnings rolling in and political changes ahead, investors should stay vigilant, as market conditions could shift quickly in the coming days. Cramer&#8217;s advice is to keep an eye on both corporate performance and potential regulatory changes under the new administration, CNBC adds.

Jim Cramer's Market Outlook: Strong Earnings, Trump Inauguration, and What's Next for Investors

If your car has started breaking down or is racking up repair bills, it might be time for a replacement. But how much car can you afford?&nbsp;
Financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42467913/dave-ramsey-warns-against-hammock-parenting-7-2-million-able-bodied-men-arent-even-looking-for-work-and-its-not-their-fault">Dave Ramsey</a> has a straightforward answer: only buy what you can pay for in cash. This principle could save you thousands and help you avoid the trap of long-term debt.
Financing might seem easy, but it can cost significantly more in the long run. As of late 2024, the average interest rate for a new-car loan was 6.6%, while used car loans averaged 10.8%, according to Edmunds.com.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
That means financing a $30,000 car for five years at 6.6% interest would add over $5,300 in extra costs. Ramsey's advice is simple: avoid the debt and stick to what you can pay up front.
To set your budget, start by looking at your savings.&nbsp;
How much can you spend without affecting your other financial priorities? If you have debt to pay off or are saving for a house, those goals should come first. If you're trading in your current car, tools like Kelley Blue Book can help estimate its value and add that to your budget.&nbsp;
Ramsey also recommends a key rule: the total value of all your vehicles should not exceed half your annual income. For example, if you earn $70,000 a year, your cars' combined value should stay under $35,000. This guideline helps prevent tying up too much of your wealth in assets that lose value over time.

Depreciation is a big reason to think twice about buying a new car. According to a 2024 report by LeaseLoco, new cars can lose up to 20% of their value in the first year and nearly 50% within three years.&nbsp;
Ramsey suggests avoiding new cars unless you have a net worth of at least one million dollars. Opting for a reliable used car can save you thousands while still providing a dependable ride.
It's also important to factor in the cost of owning a car beyond the sticker price. In 2024, AAA estimated the average annual cost of owning a vehicle – including fuel, maintenance and insurance – at $12,297.&nbsp;

According to CarEdge, luxury vehicles often incur higher maintenance and repair costs than standard cars. For instance, the 10-year maintenance cost for a BMW 7 Series is approximately $14,768, whereas a standard Toyota Camry averages around $4,203 over the same period.&nbsp;
Even hybrids and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41198502/toyota-slows-down-ev-production-amid-industrywide-shift-heres-why-theyre-changing-course">electric vehicles</a> may not always provide the savings you expect, given their higher up front prices.
If your current vehicle still runs, Ramsey suggests keeping it while you save for your next one. Set a goal based on the cost of the car you want and divide that amount by the months you plan to save.&nbsp;
For instance, saving $1,250 monthly could get you $15,000 in a year – without a single loan payment. If your car breaks down unexpectedly, repairing it or using your emergency fund may be better than rushing into a new purchase.

Dave Ramsey Warns: 'Asking How Much a Month' Could Cost You $10,000 Extra On Your Car Purchase

Elon Musk has stirred the pot with a recent post on X shifting &#8220;from MAGA to MEGA&#8221; to &#8220;Make Europe Great Again!&#8221;
What Happened: On Saturday, Musk&nbsp;took to X to express his new vision, transitioning from MAGA to MEGA. His post has since garnered significant attention, with over 28.7 million views.

Musk&#8217;s post, &#8220;From MAGA to MEGA: Make&nbsp;Europe Great Again!&#8221; implies a shift in focus towards Europe, a region that has been a significant player in the global tech and automotive industries.
The slogan associated with Hungary&#8217;s hard-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked controversy among European political leaders.
Last week on Thursday, the European Commission demanded documents related to X&#8217;s &#8220;recommender systems,&#8221; which suggest content to users.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s tweet comes at a time when Europe is striving to establish itself as a leader in the tech and automotive sectors. His call to &#8220;Make Europe Great Again&#8221; could be seen as a rallying cry for European innovation and progress.
As the CEO of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;SpaceX, Musk&#8217;s words carry weight in the industry. His endorsement of Europe&#8217;s potential could stimulate further growth and investment in the region.
However, Musk&#8217;s post also raises questions about his future plans. Could this be a hint towards a greater European focus for his companies, or is it merely a commentary on the current global landscape? Only time will tell.
