Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) founder Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), predicted Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) could surge to between $250,000 and $500,000 within the next 12 to 24 months, citing growing institutional investment and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42198909/trump-linked-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-appoints-justin-sun-as-advisor-after-30-million-investment">emerging decentralized finance opportunities</a>.
What Happened: In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qh7PlT2tq4">livestream</a> from Colorado, Hoskinson emphasized Bitcoin&#8217;s transformative potential, describing it as more than just a cryptocurrency but a strategic asset for governments and institutions worldwide. 
Hoskinson has deep roots in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s evolution from a &#8220;dormant project&#8221; to a potentially revolutionary financial technology.
The cryptocurrency veteran believes Bitcoin&#8217;s ecosystem could experience unprecedented growth, particularly with the development of DeFi layers that could dramatically expand its utility. 
He stated that &#8220;governments are considering Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset,&#8221; drawing a parallel to gold&#8217;s historical role as a store of value. Hoskinson predicted that &#8220;Bitcoin-based DeFi will surpass all other ecosystems within 24 to 36 months.&#8221;
In a keynote speech at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee, this past July, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to establish the United States as the &#8220;crypto capital of the planet&#8221; and indicated plans to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve utilizing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41770352/bitcoins-future-under-president-elect-donald-trump-a-look-at-his-crypto-policies">cryptocurrency held by the government</a>.

Why It Matters: The prediction comes amid a volatile cryptocurrency landscape. Recent data shows Bitcoin experiencing significant price fluctuations, with long-term holders offloading 728,000 coins in the past 30 days—the l<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206056/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-as-diamond-hands-lock-in-gains-analyst-anticipates-strong-buyback-pressure-to-follow-sell-pressure">argest sell-off since April</a>. 
Despite short-term volatility, market analysts remain cautiously optimistic. Haider Rafique, Global Chief Marketing Officer at OKX exchange, noted the significant profit potential for investors, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206056/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-as-diamond-hands-lock-in-gains-analyst-anticipates-strong-buyback-pressure-to-follow-sell-pressure">average holding price around $30,000</a>.
While bullish on Bitcoin, Hoskinson remains committed to Cardano&#8217;s role in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. He positioned Cardano as a &#8220;spiritual successor to Bitcoin&#8221; and emphasized the importance of creating hybrid applications that integrate Bitcoin functionality, showcasing his continued innovation in the blockchain space.
Price Action: Bitcoin the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is currently trading at $93,201.11. The price has risen by 1.74% over the past 24 hours and 0.63% over the last seven days, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Could Surge To $500K Amid DeFi Boom, Trump's Pledge To Establish A BTC Strategic Reserve, Says Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson

Investors who supported Elon Musk&#8216;s acquisition of Twitter are reportedly seeing significant returns due to the rising valuation of his AI company, xAI. These investors, who received a 25% stake in xAI, are poised for substantial gains.
What Happened: xAI, founded by Musk last year, is reportedly nearing the completion of a $5 billion fundraising round. This could potentially double its valuation to $50 billion within six months, offsetting some of the unrealized losses from the Twitter deal. Notable beneficiaries include Fidelity, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, and Jack Dorsey.
The strategic intertwining of Musk&#8217;s ventures, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX, underscores the benefits for those backing his enterprises. The latest funding round will bring xAI&#8217;s total investment to approximately $11 billion, crucial for its AI model development and supercomputer infrastructure, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5c9ca1f6-b6fe-4c96-84e2-38e3eee90f3b">reported</a> on Wednesday.

Despite Twitter&#8217;s declining value, xAI&#8217;s growth has been advantageous for Musk&#8217;s backers, who initially contributed $7.1 billion for the Twitter takeover. The Financial Times noted that only previous xAI investors could participate in the latest fundraising, maintaining their stake undiluted.
xAI is yet to respond to Benzinga&#8217;s queries.
Why It Matters: The rise in xAI&#8217;s valuation comes as the company seeks to raise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022077/elon-musks-xai-seeks-6b-at-50b-valuation-to-acquire-100k-nvidia-chips-for-memphis-data-center">up to $6 billion </a>to acquire 100,000 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips for its Memphis data center. This move is part of xAI&#8217;s strategy to bolster its AI capabilities and infrastructure.
Additionally,&nbsp;Cathie Wood&#8216;s ARK Venture Fund&nbsp;has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42180383/want-to-invest-in-spacex-and-xai-cathie-woods-ark-venture-fund-brings-musks-private-companies-to-your-portfolio">opened up investment opportunities</a> in Musk&#8217;s private ventures, including xAI, SpaceX, and the rebranded social media platform X. The&nbsp;ARK Venture Fund&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKVX#NASDAQ">ARKVX</a>) would give exposure to the companies, with xAI representing 1.5%&nbsp;of the portfolio.

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>.

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.

Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s enhanced referral program is part of a broader strategy to boost sales in the fourth quarter.

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) experienced a significant stock decline on Tuesday, shedding 10.4% after announcing the termination of two critical loan agreements with major financial institutions.

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.
