Harrow Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

North Korea, helped by the infamous hacking syndicate Lazarus Group, has quietly become one of the biggest holders of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The attacker possessed around 13,518 BTCs as of this writing, worth $1.16 billion, <a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/lazarus-group">according </a>to on-chain analytics platform Arkham. The stash was worth more than twice the amount held by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44133314/el-salvadors-president-bukele-remains-defiant-amid-imfs-concerns-on-bitcoin-accumulation-it-wont-stop-now-and-it-wont-stop-in-the-future">El Salvador</a>, the widely known Bitcoin-friendly nation.
Lazarus Group&#8217;s BTC stockpile has soared dramatically since its massive $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43901287/north-koreas-lazarus-group-suspected-in-1-4-billion-bybit-crypto-hack">hack </a>on the cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;Bybit. 
Before Feb. 22, the syndicate owned 778 BTCs, which surged to approximately 14,000 by Mar. 4, suggesting that it laundered stolen funds into Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: The Lazarus Group, a collective of&nbsp;North Korean state-sponsored crypto hackers,&nbsp;is considered one&nbsp;of the most sophisticated on-chain&nbsp;operators globally.
U.S.-based agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40725296/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-backed-hackers-may-target-bitcoin-and-ethereum-etfs-fbi-issues-wa">raised alarms</a> about the infiltration tactics employed by North Korean hackers to steal blue-chip cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The U.S. government&nbsp;has also <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm774" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed</a>&nbsp;that the illegal proceeds from the thefts are used to fund North Korea&#8217;s weapons and missile program.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,644.48, down 0.75% 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>.

Kim Jong Un's North Korea-Backed Lazarus Group Now Has More Bitcoin Than El Salvador

As the AI race intensifies, Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) has positioned itself as a serious contender by launching two new models it says rival top competitors.
What Happened: On Sunday, Baidu unveiled ERNIE X1 and ERNIE 4.5, the latest iterations of its artificial intelligence models designed to compete in a landscape dominated by players like OpenAI and DeepSeek, reported Reuters.
"ERNIE X1 delivers performance on <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44201104/usa-targets-deepseek-weighs-restrictions-on-chinas-ai-firm-that-shook-nvidias-market-value-by-600-billion">par with DeepSeek R1</a> at only half the price," Baidu said in a statement, describing it as a "reasoning-focused" model with superior capabilities in understanding, planning, reflection, and evolution.
The company also said that it's the first "deep thinking" model to use tools autonomously.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44344993/apple-reportedly-fights-uk-governments-unacceptable-encryption-order-behind-closed-doors-no-press-or-public-allowed">Apple Reportedly Fights UK Government&#8217;s &#8216;Unacceptable&#8217; Encryption Order Behind Closed Doors — No Press Or Public Allowed</a>
ERNIE 4.5 reportedly features "excellent multimodal understanding ability," meaning it can process and generate across text, image, audio, and video formats.
Baidu said its language, memory, logic, and content-generation skills are all "comprehensively improved."
The company also touted its model's emotional intelligence: "It has high EQ. It can understand memes and satirical cartoons," Baidu added.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The new models come at a time when <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44254562/deepseek-stays-free-founder-rejects-monetization-plans-new-reasoning-model-amid-alibaba-talks">DeepSeek has disrupted</a> the global AI race by releasing high-performance models at significantly lower costs than U.S. rivals.
Although Baidu was one of China's first tech giants to launch a ChatGPT-style chatbot, widespread adoption has been elusive, the report noted.
Last month, Baidu&#8217;s market value <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43765049/baidus-market-value-plummets-by-24-billion-following-ceos-absence-from-crucial-meeting-led-by-chinese-president-xi">dropped by $2.4 billion</a> following the absence of its founder, Robin Li, from a significant meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Baidu&#8217;s Q4 earnings report revealed a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43778265/baidu-q4-earnings-ai-cloud-grows-margin-slides-expects-ai-investments-to-bear-fruit-in-2025">2% decline in revenue</a> year-on-year, although it surpassed analyst expectations.

Baidu Says Its New AI Is Smarter Than DeepSeek's — And Costs Half As Much: 'Excellent Multimodal Understanding Ability'

Official Melania (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MELANIA</a>) dramatically spiked on Sunday after a whale opened a five-fold leveraged long position in the meme coin.
What happened: The official cryptocurrency of First Lady Melania Trump jumped 6.29% over the previous day, while its trading volume more than tripled to $35 million. The cryptocurrency outperformed 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>) in the last 24 hours.
The price skyrocketed after an influential trader, who made news for taking a 40x <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44348215/bitcoin-whale-takes-332-million-short-position-heres-where-it-gets-liquidated">leveraged short position</a> on Bitcoin, opened a 5x leveraged trade betting on MELANIA&#8217;s price increase.
The position, worth $2.5 million at the time of writing, was opened at an entry price of $0.69135, <a href="https://hypurrscan.io/address/0xf3F496C9486BE5924a93D67e98298733Bb47057c">according </a>to data from the decentralized perpetual trading platform Hyperliquid.&nbsp;
Since opening the long, the trader has made an unrealized profit of over $105,000.
Benzinga Note: Leverage trading allows cryptocurrency traders to open larger positions using borrowed capital. While it can potentially amplify profits, it also significantly increases the risk of substantial losses due to the volatile nature of the cryptocurrencies.

Why It Matters: The high-stakes bet revived interest for a coin that has collapsed since its initial frenzy.&nbsp;
MELANIA has plunged nearly 95% from the all-time high of $13.73 set shortly after its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43078040/trump-coin-tanks-36-even-as-melania-trump-launches-her-own-token-top-analyst-says-his-short-is-going-very-very-well">January launch.</a> Additionally, the downturn has wiped off $13 billion worth of the coin&#8217;s fully diluted capitalization, which was now valued at $724 million.
Price Action: At the time of writing, MELANIA was exchanging hands at $0.7246, up 6.23% 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>.

MELANIA Surges 6% After Whale With 40x Short Bet On Bitcoin Goes Long On First Lady's Memecoin

Popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) traded higher on Sunday, defying the broader meme coin correction.&nbsp;
What happened: The second-largest meme coin by market capitalization jumped 5.45% over the previous day, with trading volume surging 189% to $341 million in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
In doing so, SHIB became the most successful large-cap meme coin in the last 24 hours, outperforming Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and several others that recorded losses.
The rally followed a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44348135/shiba-inus-burn-rate-soars-removing-505-million-tokens-from-circulation">massive 62,000% jump</a> in the token's burn rate, boosted by a meteoric jump in transactions on the ecosystem's Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium.
Note that a portion of transaction fees paid on Shibarium are set aside and burned. This is done to create scarcity and, over time, increase the token&#8217;s market value.

Why It Matters: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Javon Marks maintained a $0.000081 price target for SHIB, which represented a 500% upside over the current price.
"As prices continue to hold broken out, and up since showing responsiveness to this breakout, another nearly +500% upside to reach this target could still be well in the works," the analyst added.&nbsp;

The Momentum indicator, which compares the short-term price and long-term price, flashed a &#8220;Buy&#8221; signal for SHIB as of this writing, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/SHIBUSDT/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.&nbsp;
Conversely, the Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, signaled "Sell," indicating that the rally might not be sustained for long.
Price Action: At the time of writing, SHIB was exchanging hands at $0.00001351, up 5.79% 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>.

Shiba Inu Defies Memecoin Dump With With A 5% Spike — Analyst Says 500% Upside 'Could Still Be Well In The Works'

Young Liu, the CEO of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Technology, has publicly criticized President Donald Trump's tariff policy, warning it's creating chaos for tech giants like Apple and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
What Happened: During an earnings call on Friday, Foxconn CEO Liu said the U.S. government&#8217;s tariff strategy is causing major disruptions across the global tech supply chain.
"The issue of tariffs is something that is giving the CEOs of our customers a big headache now," Liu told investors. "Judging by the attitude and the approach we see the U.S. government taking towards tariffs, it is very, very hard to predict how things will develop over the next year."
Liu said that companies, including Apple and Amazon, are actively exploring U.S.-based manufacturing options with Foxconn. While he declined to disclose details, Liu stated that the company expects "more and more" production to move stateside.

The news was first <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/cc290f55-e45a-42b1-bf2d-cf323053fade">reported</a> by the Financial Times.
Why It's Important: Foxconn's manufacturing operations are heavily concentrated in China, India, and Vietnam — all of which have been impacted or are at risk of being hit by additional tariffs.
The company is also building a major Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) server plant in Mexico.

On Friday, Foxconn announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. In the October-December quarter, Foxconn&#8217;s revenue surged 15% year-over-year to NT$2.13 trillion, while gross profit climbed 15.7% to NT$131 billion. For the full year, net profit totaled NT$152.7 billion, pushing earnings per share to NT$11.01—the highest in 17 years.
The concerns raised by Liu echo broader criticisms of the U.S. tariff policy. Previously, in an interview, Warren Buffett described tariffs <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44070257/warren-buffett-calls-tariffs-an-act-of-war-warns-they-function-as-a-tax-on-goods-amid-market-turmoil">as &#8220;an act of war&#8221; and</a> likened them to a consumer tax.
Similarly, Anthony Scaramucci criticized the tariffs, stating that the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44032329/anthony-scaramucci-says-the-market-doesnt-like-trump-tariffs-compares-trump-to-hitler-appeaser-for-coddling-putin-and-berating-allies">market disapproves</a> of Trump&#8217;s trade policies.

Trump Trade Policy A 'Big Headache' For Customers, Says Apple-Supplier Foxconn's CEO: 'Very, Very Hard To Predict How Things Will Develop...'

Investors funneled cash into U.S. equities at the third-highest pace in history last week, with Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett framing it as a &#8220;correction, not a bear market,&#8221; following four weeks of market turmoil.
What Happened: According to BofA Global Investment Strategy data highlighted by hedge fund consultant Seth Golden on Sunday, private client flows to equities reached approximately 2.5% of Assets Under Management in March, marking the &#8220;3rd largest weekly inflow to equities ever&#8221; from BofA clients.

The massive buying surge comes as U.S. stocks staged a sharp rebound on Friday when the S&amp;P 500 tracked by The SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE: SPY) jumped 1.9%, eyeing its strongest daily rally since November.

Why It Matters: Recent market volatility has been driven by recession concerns, with betting markets tracked by CFTC-regulated Kalshi showing the probability of a 2025 U.S. recession climbing to 37%.

If the economy avoids recession, Jeff Buchbinder at LPL Financial suggests upside potential &#8220;may be as much as double the downside risk&#8221; over the next 9-12 months.

Third-Largest 'Buy-The-Dip' In History — BofA's Sees 'Correction, Not A Bear Market' Amid Wall Street Rebound

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) sent a Japanese radar satellite into orbit on Saturday and is now prepping for another mission just three days later.
What Happened: On Saturday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RKLB">Rocket Lab</a> completed its 61st mission, "The Lightning God Reigns," from Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand.
The mission deployed the QPS-SAR-9 satellite into a 575-kilometer circular Earth orbit for the Japanese customer Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (IQPS).
It marked the second mission Rocket Lab has executed for IQPS following a launch in December 2023.

Analyst Sounds The Alarm, Predicts Elon Musk-led EV Giant Will Move Less Than A Third Of Street Estimates</a>
The satellite is part of IQPS's synthetic aperture radar (SAR) constellation, designed to deliver high-resolution, all-weather Earth imagery.
According to Rocket Lab, the Lightning God Reigns mission is the first of eight upcoming launches for IQPS—one of the company's largest Electron launch agreements to date—with five more expected in 2025 and two more in 2026.
Just three days later, on Tuesday, it plans to launch Mission 62, "High Five," which will deploy five satellites for French Internet of Things company Kinéis. The launch is the fifth and final in a multi-mission deal to complete the Kinéis satellite constellation.

The company posted a loss of 10 cents per share, matching analyst expectations, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
RKLB Price Action: Rocket Lab shares rose 7.06% on Friday, closing at $18.81. However, in after-hours trading, the stock was down 0.053% at the time of writing.

Rocket Lab Launches 'Lightning God Reigns' Mission, Sets Sights On 'High Five' Launch Just Three Days Later

Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo has established a commanding lead in the autonomous vehicle market with over 2 million paid robotaxi rides across multiple U.S. cities, Gary Black, Managing Partner at The Future Fund LLC notes.
What Happened: &#8220;Many investors argue Google&#8217;s Waymo is way ahead in the robotaxi race,&#8221; Black wrote Sunday on X, noting Waymo&#8217;s operations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.
Meanwhile, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43091062/amazons-zoox-eyes-joining-leagues-of-waymo-in-2025-to-offer-rides-to-public-quite-soon">preparing to launch paid services</a> in San Francisco and Las Vegas, positioning itself as a contender for second place against Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which &#8220;still hasn&#8217;t been approved for paid ride-hailing on public roadways without humans behind the wheel,&#8221; Black stated.
In China, Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) has already completed 9 million paid robotaxi rides across four major Chinese cities and is expanding to dozens more, including Hong Kong.
Black emphasized that &#8220;unsupervised autonomy is table stakes for all automotive manufacturers&#8221; – a requirement to remain competitive, similar to smartphone features following Apple Inc.&#8216;s iPhone launch.

Why It Matters: When asked about Tesla&#8217;s potential advantage with 7 million vehicles worldwide, Black noted that Tesla has not demonstrated Level 4 or 5 autonomy, which hinders approval for unsupervised deployment in most jurisdictions.
Black acknowledged Tesla&#8217;s superior scaling capabilities but expressed concern about &#8220;a lack of marketing skills&#8221; – a sentiment echoed in his praise of Apple&#8217;s marketing as crucial to its success.
The competition intensifies as Waymo expands in Santa Monica, with investment manager Ross Gerber recently describing Waymo&#8217;s performance as <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44068902/tesla-fsd-like-a-12-year-old-driving-compared-to-waymo-says-ross-gerber-warning-uber-has-got-to-be-hurting">significantly superior to Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving technology</a>, which he compared to &#8220;a 12-year-old driving.&#8221;
Industry analysts remain cautious, with Goldman Sachs projecting limited initial robotaxi revenue for Tesla of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43036902/tesla-stock-valuation-analyst-flags-long-term-growth-opportunities-robotaxis-fsd">approximately $115 million by 2027</a>.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slide Ahead Of Fed's Interest Rate Decision: Next Week To Be 'Strong & Green' If Altcoins Don't Get Dumped On Monday, Says Trader

On Sunday, President Donald Trump addressed his earlier claim of resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict within 24 hours, clarifying that his statement was &#8220;a little bit sarcastic.&#8221; 
What Happened: During his appearance on &#8220;Full Measure,&#8221; Trump explained that his intention was to express a strong desire to end the conflict and conveyed confidence in his ability to do so. 
&#8220;What I really mean is I'd like to get it settled, and I think I'll be successful,&#8221; said the president, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5197961-trump-says-he-was-being-a-little-bit-sarcastic-when-he-promised-to-end-ukraine-war-in-24-hours/">reported</a> The Hill. Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, he has consistently promised to quickly resolve the war if re-elected.
In a previous conversation with&nbsp;Fox News&nbsp;host&nbsp;Sean Hannity, Trump suggested a straightforward negotiation involving&nbsp;Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky&nbsp;and&nbsp;Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, he refrained from revealing specifics, emphasizing the importance of preserving negotiation strategies.
Since assuming office nearly two months ago, Trump has prioritized ending the ongoing war. In the Sunday interview, he mentioned ongoing discussions with Putin, describing the situation as complex but progressing reasonably well.
Trump revealed that Ukrainians have agreed to a ceasefire framework and expressed optimism about Russia&#8217;s potential agreement. He anticipated further developments by Monday, emphasizing the urgency of halting the conflict to prevent further devastation in Ukraine.

Why It Matters: The probability of Donald Trump brokering a ceasefire in Ukraine within his first 90 days back in office is reportedly increasing, as indicated by data from Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>)-based <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44264824/can-donald-trump-end-the-war-in-ukraine-polymarket-traders-say-the-odds-are-rising-but-one-question-is-key">Polymarket</a>, a leading prediction platform. Traders currently assign a 36% chance to this possibility.
Despite Trump&#8217;s optimism, Zelensky remains skeptical, citing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44333033/trump-boasts-very-good-chance-of-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-but-zelenskyy-says-putin-broke-deals-25-times-before">past instances</a> where Putin allegedly violated agreements. This skepticism follows a tense <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44064917/trump-says-ukraines-zelensky-is-not-ready-for-peace-after-oval-office-spat-he-disrespected-the-united-states-of-america">meeting</a> with Trump at the White House, where the incumbent U.S. president expressed dissatisfaction with his Ukrainian counterpart&#8217;s stance on peace negotiations.

Trump Says He Was 'Little Bit Sarcastic' When He Said He Would End The Russia-Ukraine War In A Day: 'What I Really Mean Is...'

When it comes to money, it's easy to fall into the comparison trap—especially in the age of social media flexing and financial "glow-ups." But let's be real: comparing your net worth to someone twice your age isn't exactly useful. The real question is, how do you stack up against people your age?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 10% Net Worth</h2>
Net worth is a key measure of financial standing, calculated by subtracting what you owe (liabilities) from what you own (assets). Assets include cash, investments, real estate, and valuable possessions, while liabilities cover debts like mortgages, student loans, and credit card balances. The higher your assets and the lower your debt, the stronger your net worth.

• Ages 18–29: $281,550
• Ages 30–39: $711,400
• Ages 40–49: $1,313,700

These numbers might seem discouraging or motivating, depending on where you stand. But <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">hitting the top 10%</a> isn't about luck; it's about consistently making smart financial moves. Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, here are some key strategies to build your net worth over time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Build Your Net Worth No Matter Your Age</h2>
1. Knock Out High-Interest Debt
Debt is the biggest drag on net worth. Prioritize high-interest balances like credit cards first, then move on to lower-interest loans. If your student loans have a low rate, it may make sense to invest instead of rushing to pay them off.
2. Max Out Retirement Contributions
If your job offers a 401(k) match, take it—it's free money. Even beyond that, contributing to tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs or HSAs can boost your wealth without giving extra cash to the IRS.
3. Cut Back on Spending That Doesn't Add Value
You don't have to give up your favorite coffee or stop traveling, but tracking your expenses will show where your money is disappearing. Small tweaks—like canceling unused subscriptions or negotiating bills—can free up cash for saving and investing.
4. Invest, Even If It's Small at First
Leaving all your money in a savings account won't grow your wealth. The earlier you start investing in stocks, index funds, or real estate, the more time your money has to compound.

5. Buy a Car You'll Drive for a Decade
Cars are one of the fastest depreciating assets. Instead of upgrading every few years, buy a reliable vehicle and drive it as long as possible. That alone can save you thousands you can put toward building wealth.
Financial expert Suze Orman advises car buyers to spend the least amount possible on a vehicle that meets their needs, finance it for a short period, and maintain it for as long as possible. She practices what she preaches, having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40963028/suze-orman-says-keep-your-car-for-15-years-or-longer-instead-of-leasing-a-new-one-every-3-years-">owned her current car for over 12 years</a>.
6. Get Professional Financial Advice
A financial advisor isn't just for the ultra-wealthy. Whether it's tax strategies, investment plans, or retirement savings, professional guidance can help you maximize your money and avoid costly mistakes.
Building wealth isn't about hitting a magic number—it's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">financial growth and stability</a>. The goal isn't to compete with strangers online but to improve your own financial situation year after year. No matter where you're starting from, the steps above can help push you closer to the top 10%.

How Does Your Wealth Stack Up Against Your Peers? Here's the Net Worth You'll Need To Be Among The Richest 10% At Each Age

In a new poll, President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Democratic Party all received poor marks on the economy.
What Happened: A poll released by NBC News on Sunday revealed that 54% of voters disapprove of Trump&#8217;s management of the economy, while 44% approve.
The <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/poll-trump-faces-early-challenges-economy-united-gop-backs-big-change-rcna195860">poll</a> also showed similar disapproval rates for Trump&#8217;s handling of inflation and cost of living, with 55% disapproving and 42% approving. This is the first time an NBC poll has indicated a majority of voters opposing Trump&#8217;s economic management.
Despite the negative economic ratings, Trump&#8217;s overall approval rating remains high, with 47% of respondents approving of his presidency, while 51% disapprove.
Musk&#8217;s personal approval rating is even lower, with only 39% of voters approving and 51% disapproving. However, 46% of respondents believe in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk oversees, while 40% think it&#8217;s a bad idea.

The Democratic Party received the lowest ratings in the poll, with only 27% of voters having&nbsp;positive views of the party,&nbsp;compared to 55% with negative views. 
The poll was conducted before recent actions in Congress, where some Senate Democrats sided with Republicans on a&nbsp;resolution to fund the government.
The poll also showed voters are divided&nbsp;on who they want to&nbsp;control Congress after the midterms, with 48% favoring Democrats and 47% favoring Republicans.
Why It Matters: The poll results reflect the public&#8217;s current dissatisfaction with key figures and institutions. The negative ratings for Trump&#8217;s economic management could potentially impact his future political aspirations. 
Musk&#8217;s low approval rating, despite the support for the DOGE, indicates a disconnect between public opinion of him as an individual and his professional endeavors. The Democratic Party&#8217;s low ratings suggest a lack of public confidence, which could influence the outcome of the upcoming midterms. 
These ratings provide a snapshot of current public sentiment, which may have significant implications for future political and economic developments.

Trump, Musk, and Democrats Get Low Marks on Economy in NBC Poll

The Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) network has seen a massive 400% surge in activity. The number of active addresses is now approaching 395,000, indicating a significant increase in interactions with DOGE.
What Happened: According to reports, a sudden and substantial increase in Dogecoin network activity has been observed. This includes a wide range of interactions, such as transactions and trades, and often suggests changes in market sentiment, increased speculation, or heightened network engagement.
Historically, such surges in active addresses have been linked to periods of price volatility. In some cases, these spikes have been a precursor to price surges driven by growing demand and liquidity. However, they could also be a sign of a temporary speculative move that may quickly fade away.
Despite its origins as a meme coin, Dogecoin has consistently shown its potential for genuine engagement. The recent surge in activity may indicate something more than just sentiment, with the increase in transactions and involvement possibly hinting at future developments.

At the time of the report, Dogecoin was trading at $0.16784, a 17.8% increase&nbsp;from the weekly lows. Whether&nbsp;this indicates an upcoming surge or a temporary shake-up in the on-chain realm, it&#8217;s clear that the market is closely watching Dogecoin.
Why It Matters: The surge in Dogecoin&#8217;s network activity is noteworthy because it suggests a heightened level of interest and engagement with the cryptocurrency. 
This could potentially lead to increased liquidity and demand, which are key factors in driving price surges. However, it&#8217;s also important to note that such spikes can sometimes be indicative of temporary speculative moves. 
Therefore, while the market is paying attention to Dogecoin, it remains to be seen whether this surge in activity will translate into a sustained increase in value.

Unprecedented 400% Surge in Dogecoin Network Activity: A Bullish Move?

In a high-stakes gamble, a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) whale has initiated a short position of $332 million, facing potential liquidation if Bitcoin&#8217;s price surges to $85,000.
What Happened: A Bitcoin whale has opened a $332 million short position at an entry price of $84,040, as revealed by data from analytics platform Lookonchain. The position was leveraged 40 times, indicating that the trader borrowed 40 times the initial capital.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $83,945, a 2.3% decrease over the past week, as per data from CoinGecko. If Bitcoin&#8217;s price hits the $85,000 mark, the trader&#8217;s massive position could face liquidation.

Meanwhile, CoinGlass data reveals that crypto worth $94 million has been liquidated in the past 24 hours, with shorts making up the majority ($49 million). 
The largest single liquidation happened on Binance ($582,130 with the BTC/USDT pair), accounting for 38.79% of total liquidations.
Why It Matters: This massive short position underscores the high-risk, high-reward nature of cryptocurrency trading. The trader&#8217;s previous success on the Hyperliquid platform demonstrates the potential for significant gains, but the current risk of liquidation highlights the potential for substantial losses. 
This event serves as a stark reminder of the volatility inherent in the cryptocurrency market, and the potential consequences for traders who engage in high-leverage positions.

Bitcoin Whale Takes $332 Million Short Position, Here's Where It Gets Liquidated

The close relationship between Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and President Donald Trump will be short-lived, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43423724/scaramucci-warns-against-trumps-tariffs-urges-lawmakers-to-take-stand-crazy-nonsense">Anthony Scaramucci, a former Trump adviser</a>.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who served a brief stint as Trump&#8217;s communications director, anticipates that Musk&#8217;s alliance with Trump may soon &#8220;burn&#8217;.&#8221; Scaramucci stated in an interview, &#8220;Everyone flames out with Trump.&#8221;
Scaramucci, a vocal critic of Trump since his dismissal from the White House after only 11 days in 2017, cautioned others against working for Trump, warning, &#8220;He&#8217;s gonna burn you.&#8221;
"There's a lot of people in my life, I say, ‘Don't go work for Trump. He's gonna burn you,'&#8221; Scaramucci <a href="https://qz.com/trump-elon-musk-doge-anthony-scaramucci-1851768418">told</a> Quartz.
He also added that he didn't believe it when other people gave him the same advice. 
"I would've said to those people: ‘No, no, no. He burns other people. He's not gonna burn me.' Then he burned me," he said. 
Musk has been in close collaboration with Trump since the election, even unofficially heading the Department of Government Efficiency. His impact on federal policy has been noticeable, with Trump acknowledging Musk&#8217;s contributions in his first address to Congress.
"I believe past performance is an indication of the future. And so there's nobody in Donald Trump's orbit that likes him," said Scaramucci. Scaramucci also called Trump an "angry guy" and "miserable" person.

However, Scaramucci predicts that Musk&#8217;s influence may be fleeting. &#8220;I&#8217;m&nbsp;giving him a six to&nbsp;eight month duration,&#8221; he stated. Despite this, Scaramucci doesn&#8217;t foresee Musk being entirely sidelined due to his wealth, which he believes Trump values.
He'll be jettisoned from the Trump world. He's too rich and Donald Trump respects that kind of wealth," Scaramucci said. 
Musk has been a substantial benefactor to the Republican party, contributing&nbsp;at least $288 million towards the election of Republican candidates in the 2024 election.
Why It Matters: The potential fallout between Musk and Trump could have significant implications for Tesla and its future dealings with the government. 
Musk&#8217;s influence has been instrumental in shaping federal policy, and a breakdown in this relationship could impact the company&#8217;s ability to navigate the political landscape. 
Furthermore, Musk&#8217;s substantial financial contributions to the Republican party highlight his commitment to the current administration, and a potential split could signal a shift in his political affiliations.
