As algorithmic trading gains traction in volatile crypto markets, Veles Finance COO Arkadiy Amiryan believes it&#8217;s time for developers and users alike to revisit their expectations from artificial intelligence. 
Speaking with Benzinga, Amiryan said that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot address all challenges in cryptocurrency trading, advocating for a critical and informed approach to automation. 
He highlighted the importance of balancing automation with user accountability as regulatory scrutiny intensifies in the volatile crypto market. 
"AI has already appeared almost everywhere in our lives, but it is important to remember that it will not solve all problems, it is always necessary to resort to a critical solution," he said.
While some platforms chase fully autonomous systems, Veles Finance instead emphasizes human-centric tools with automation built around clearly defined strategies. 
The company&#8217;s proprietary offerings, such as the Kurchatov 3.1 Strategy, integrate technical indicators with historical data insights, encouraging users to understand market dynamics rather than delegate everything to an opaque model.
On Friday, the company launched an integration with crypto exchange BingX, enabling users to automate trading with minimal configuration.

According to the company, the bot supports both spot and futures markets, relies on the official BingX API for secure access and requires no transfer of custody.
The setup can be completed in under 15 minutes, offering an accessible gateway for newcomers while allowing seasoned traders to deploy customized strategies.
Amiryan insists that simplicity must not come at the cost of responsibility.
"Our bots offer customization or ready-made solutions, real-time management and built-in risk management tools, so traders stay in control, not out of the loop," he said.
He also addresses the growing concern over API access limitations from centralized exchanges, especially in jurisdictions tightening rules.
"First of all, it should be an official partnership with the exchange," Amiryan said, stressing that Veles only integrates with trusted platforms and does not retain access to user funds.
Despite the increasing popularity of AI-enhanced bots, Amiryan maintains that success in crypto trading relies on transparency, security, and informed decision-making. 
"In case of trust in any crypto platforms, it is necessary to check their openness," he added.

The stock has charged past its eight, 20 and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs), with the 50-day SMA currently at $52.72 compared to Cameco's share price of $68.08. This wide separation underlines the strength of the current uptrend. 
The 20-day simple moving average sits at $62.73, and the eight-day simple moving average trails at $67.41 — both levels Cameco has cleanly vaulted, reinforcing the bullish bias.
Momentum indicators confirm the trend. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is currently at 4.68, supporting a bullish outlook. 
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) clocks in at 71.20, signaling that while Cameco may be edging into overbought territory, buyers are still firmly in control.
Behind the technicals is a broader investor appetite for nuclear energy, amid rising global interest in low-carbon power solutions. As uranium demand continues to build and sentiment shifts toward nuclear as a clean-energy alternative, Cameco is increasingly seen as the go-to pure play in the space.

Robin Energy shares are trading lower after the company announced the pricing of a $4.0M offering of 763,000 shares at $5.25 per share.

Momentum traders are enjoying their best stretch in over a decade, with the strategy's flagship fund outpacing the broader U.S. market by the widest margin since records began — and it's a selective basket of stocks, led by Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), doing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/screener/top-momentum-stocks">all the heavy lifting.</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Momentum Strategy Crushes S&amp;P 500</h1>
The iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTUM#NYSE">MTUM</a>) is up 11.4% year-to-date through June, versus a modest 2% gain for the S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>). 
That nine percentage point lead marks the largest six-month outperformance since MTUM's launch in 2013.
While the absolute performance is below the first half of 2024 — when the AI-fueled rally sent momentum stocks soaring 25% — the relative gap is now wider, as the broader market cooled following U.S. trade tensions and rate uncertainty.
MTUM targets large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks showing strong recent price momentum, adjusting exposure semi-annually to overweight leaders and cut laggards. 
The momentum style has clearly paid off in 2025.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Five Stocks Are Driving The Momentum Rally – And Weighting Is The Key</h1>
Five stocks are powering the momentum&#8217;s outperformance in 2025, thanks to both strong returns and significantly higher weightings than in the S&amp;P 500.
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Palantir Technologies has surged 83.4% year-to-date and carries a 3.72% weight in MTUM ETF versus just 0.6% in the SPY.</li>
<li>Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is up 38.7% with a 4.88% weight, more than quadruple its 1.03% allocation in the SPY. </li>
<li>Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) has climbed 53.1%, with a 3.25% momentum weight compared to just 0.56% in the broader SPY.</li>
<li>Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), up 18%, holds a 5.2% position in MTUM versus 3% in the SPY. </li>
<li>GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), up 47.5%, has a 2.13% weight in the momentum ETF, far above its 0.3% SPY weighting. </li>
</ol>
Together, these five names account for roughly 6.6 percentage points — or over half — of the MTUM's year-to-date return.

Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) is using its global reach and experience with tech to sell artificial intelligence-related <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">services to other companies</a>.
What Happened: On Friday, the San Francisco-based company announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46022306/uber-expands-ai-data-platform-to-power-next-gen-enterprise-and-ai-lab-needs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">expansion of its</a> AI data services to 30 countries. 
Uber AI Solutions (it used to be called Uber Scaled Solutions) claims to offer tools and data to help train smart AI agents to understand and &#8220;navigate real-world business processes.&#8221;
The Dara Khosrowshahi-led firm is providing access to its global gig worker network for tasks like tagging images, refining translations, and verifying AI output. It&#8217;s also offering tools to help businesses build smart AI agents for customer support, order processing, and more.

Why It Matters: Uber is transforming from just a ride-hailing and food delivery company into a global AI infrastructure provider. It's monetizing its decade of experience managing and collecting data to help others build AI.
This shift puts the car service company in competition with AI businesses. Think of firms like Scale AI and Amazon Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourcing marketplace that allows businesses to outsource processes.
Meanwhile, Uber remains invested in scaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44988070/autonomous-ride-hailing-just-got-real-vw-and-uber-reveal-first-us-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">self-driving mobility</a>, collaborating with car companies like Volkswagen on autonomous EVs, starting in Los Angeles by 2026.

Bank of America Securities&nbsp;analyst&nbsp;Justin Post named Uber <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46005368/meta-amazon-booking-best-positioned-for-agentic-ai-opportunity-says-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">a top pick</a> in the broader travel and transportation sector, driven by AI&#8217;s potential to open up the competitive autonomous vehicle (AV) market.
Price Action: UBER stock is trading higher by 1.3% to $84.55 at last check Friday.

These Analysts Boost Their Forecasts On GMS

Kroger Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) shares rose on Friday after the grocer topped Q1 earnings estimates, boosted margins, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">reaffirmed its full-year outlook</a>.
The company reported first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.49, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n46023241/kroger-reports-first-quarter-2025-results-and-updates-identical-sales-without-fuel-guidance-for-20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.46</a>. Quarterly sales of $45.12 billion missed the Street view of $45.19 billion, with identical sales ex-fuel increasing 3.2%.
The strong earnings came even as Kroger faced a viral backlash on TikTok, where a video showing minimally decorated Juneteenth cakes at an Atlanta store drew criticism for what many called a tone-deaf tribute to a holiday celebrating Black liberation, USA Today <a target="_blank" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/20/kroger-juneteenth-cakes-tiktok/84283252007/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Meanwhile, operating profit in the quarter under review increased to $1.322 billion from $1.294 billion a year ago.
Gross margin in the quarter under review increased to 23% from 22% a year ago. The improvement in gross margin was primarily attributable to the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, lower shrink, and lower supply chain costs, partially offset by the mix effect from growth in pharmacy sales which have lower margins.
The FIFO gross margin rate increased by 79 basis points, including a 46 basis point boost from the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy.
The improvement in rate was primarily attributable to the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, lower shrink and lower supply chain costs, partially offset by the mix effect from growth in pharmacy sales which have lower margins.
Kroger took a $100 million charge in the first quarter for closing around 60 stores over 18 months.
The move is expected to bring &#8220;modest financial benefit,&#8221; which will be reinvested in the customer experience and won&#8217;t affect full-year guidance. All affected employees will be offered roles at other locations.
During the fourth quarter of Kroger&#8217;s fiscal 2024, Kroger entered into a&nbsp;$5 billion&nbsp;accelerated share repurchase program (ASR), which is expected to be completed by Kroger&#8217;s fiscal third quarter of 2025.
After completion of the ASR program, Kroger expects to resume open market share repurchases under the remaining&nbsp;$2.5 billion&nbsp;authorization. Kroger expects to complete these open market share repurchases by the end of fiscal 2025.
The company exited the quarter with total cash worth $340 million and temporary cash investments worth $4.398 billion.
Long-term debt (including obligations under finance leases) expanded to $17.138 billion, compared with $12.021 billion a year ago.
&#8220;Our strong sales results and positive momentum give us confidence to raise our identical sales ex-fuel guidance, to a new range of 2.25% to 3.25%. While first-quarter sales and profitability exceeded our expectations, the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, and as a result, other elements of our guidance remain unchanged,&#8221; CFO David Kennerley said.
He expressed continued confidence in the company&#8217;s strategy and added, &#8220;We continue to believe that our strategy focusing on fresh,&nbsp;Our Brands&nbsp;and eCommerce will continue to resonate with customers, and our resilient model positions us well to navigate the current environment.&#8221;

"Reported Earlier Nationwide McDonald's boycott planned for June 24: What to know"- Newsweek

Children mirror their parents. The way parents act and speak will influence what their children become, and this truth branches out into all areas of your children's lives. With that in mind, financial guru Ramit Sethi revealed what parents should have said to their kids about money. Making <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ramit.sethi/video/7515773491526913311?lang=en">this mistake</a> can cause your children to endure financial hardships and have a more difficult time growing their careers.
"Your kids will absorb it," Sethi said.
Sethi shares what you shouldn't do and offers some suggestions of what you can do to make your kids confident with their finances.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"We Can't Afford It"</h2>
Sethi says that you should never use this phrase in front of your children. Saying it once is bad enough, but if you repeat it, your child may develop negative thoughts about money.
For instance, your child may view money as a scarce resource and feel like it's difficult to get ahead in their career. If your child has a successful career, they may avoid spending money in general, even when spending it would be a good thing.
Children will look at your actions and words as guidance, whether it's for the best or for the worst. Make sure you are very careful about how you speak about money and working hard to achieve goals.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frugal Vs. Cheap</h2>
One of the concerns Sethi brings up is that kids who hear that their parents can't afford anything may be reluctant to spend money, even when they have more than enough. While saving money is a good habit, Sethi is against having millions of dollars in the bank and never tapping into it.
He believes that people should aim to live rich lifestyles. That doesn't mean you go out and buy luxury cars and designer bags that you can't afford. It simply means being smart with your money but giving yourself some flexibility to make discretionary purchases that make you happy.
For instance, he's against impulsive spending and buying things that don't make you happy. However, if you have wanted to go to Hawaii for more than a decade, he's the type of financial guru who would encourage you to make that trip once you have saved enough money.
He's an advocate for frugal spending, which means being tight with how you spend money but being flexible with spending money on things and experiences that meaningfully boost your long-term happiness. However, he's against being cheap, which is the equivalent of a millionaire fasting for the sole purpose of reducing their grocery bill.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Kids Absorb What You Say</h2>
Knowing that your kids will absorb what you say gives you a great advantage. While some families talk about the things they can't afford, you can flip the script. Instead of saying that you can't afford something, you can teach your children valuable lessons about prioritizing how they spend money and building toward long-term financial goals.
Serving as this type of mentor for your child can help them become more successful than you when they get older. You can encourage them to build good financial habits and explain what you are doing to move closer to your long-term goals.&nbsp;
It's okay to talk about money with your children. Doing so can help them in the long run. However, parents talk with their children about money whether they know it or not. Your child will notice things like what quality of life you accept, how you feel about asking for a raise or leaving your current job for a better opportunity, and if you invest money.&nbsp;
Being more intentional about how your children think about money can inspire you to work toward long-term goals, boost your income with side hustles, and attain a higher standard of living.

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest and a prominent backer of digital assets, expressed confidence in Circle's future during ARK's June Fund mARKet Update Webinar <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/webinars/june-2025-fund-webinar?utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_0fmgg_8iaNVHKrSyUFKI-UJzfJ8seaOBFkDxVnRx2D_PQ_zPMJp_qAv0td0DBYzXVf1dWS4UISFGjvB5A-S7-UmTiMQ&amp;_hsmi=367641546&amp;utm_content=367641546&amp;utm_source=hs_email">released</a> Thursday.&nbsp;
