Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) co-founder&nbsp;Vitalik Buterin&nbsp;proposed a long-term solution Sunday to improve the scalability and efficiency of the network&#8217;s execution layer, one that handles smart contracts and transactions.
What Happened: In a blog post, Buterin <a href="https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/long-term-l1-execution-layer-proposal-replace-the-evm-with-risc-v/23617">suggested </a>replacing the&nbsp;Ethereum Virtual Machine contract&nbsp;language with the open-source RISC-V instruction&nbsp;set architecture. This, he argued, would address long-term scaling bottlenecks like keeping block production competitive and enhancing the efficiency of zero-knowledge EVM proving—a vital feature that enables off-chain computation and verification of transactions.
Buterin theorized that implementing the said proposal could, in limited cases, generate efficiency gains of over 100x.

Why It Matters: Buterin&#8217;s proposal comes at a time when the Ethereum base layer was battling a sharp dip in transaction activity and fees.
According to Etherscan, ETH&#8217;s average transaction fees have <a href="https://etherscan.io/chart/avg-txfee-usd">slipped </a>to levels not seen since May 2020. Typically, this happens due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ethereum-gas-fees">low network demand</a>. 
Since a portion of the transaction fees is burned to add deflationary pressure to ETH, the drop in fees resulted in a lower number of ETH removed from circulation and, subsequently, inflation, <a href="https://ultrasound.money/?timeFrame=since_merge">according </a>to Ultrasound Money.
Analysts interviewed by Benzinga attributed this to the rise of Layer-2 blockchains and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37667987/ethereum-dencun-upgrade-drops-layer-2-fees-by-99">Dencun Upgrade</a>, which significantly reduced transaction costs on L2s. This resulted in on-chain activity being diverted away from the Ethereum foundation chain.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $1,644.66, up 3.28% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;Year-to-date, the coin has plunged more than 50%.

Aclarion, Inc., ("Aclarion" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACON#NASDAQ">ACON</a>, ACONW)),&nbsp;a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today the publication of a peer-reviewed article in Clinicoeconomics and Outcomes Research titled "The Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness Between Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Provocative Discography in the Identification of Chronic Low Back Pain Surgery Candidates."
"Chronic low back pain is a complex problem that is complicated to diagnose," said Doug Beall, MD, Chief of Radiology Services, Clinical Radiology of Oklahoma and co-author.&nbsp;"I have a keen interest in advanced diagnostics and clinical decision support tools like Nociscan. The profound conclusions within this important paper will not only benefit surgical intervention, but also my non-surgical colleagues in Pain Management and Interventional Radiology. Our industry needs more evidence showcasing clinical and economic improvements when comparing alternatives, and our paper clearly illustrates the cost-effectiveness of Nociscan compared to provocative discography."
ClinicoEconomics and Outcomes Research&nbsp;is a&nbsp;peer-reviewed&nbsp;healthcare journal&nbsp;focusing on covering the economic impact of health policy and health systems organization. The journal was established in 2009 and is published by&nbsp;Dove Medical Press.
"We are pleased with the cost-effectiveness results illustrated in this important paper," said Ryan Bond, Chief Strategy Officer at Aclarion. "We believe the results demonstrating Nociscan's economic outperformance over provocative discography will be important to our physician customers and their patients, but will also speak clearly to the payer community, who are constantly challenged to reconcile the health outcomes achieved for the dollars they spend, in other words, the value in healthcare."
Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a global healthcare problem with approximately 266 million people worldwide suffering from degenerative spine disease and low back pain. Aclarion's Nociscan solution is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient's low back pain.

U.S. stock futures fell on Monday, following a holiday-shortened week that ended with a mixed performance on Thursday. Major benchmark indices were trading lower in the premarket session.
Chinese Ministry of Commerce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44891949/chinese-commerce-ministry-pledges-retaliation-against-countries-isolating-beijing-with-us-at-the-expense-of-china">warned its trading partners</a> of retaliation in case of Beijing&#8217;s isolation by the U.S. "It should be pointed out in particular that China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China's interests," said the Ministry spokesperson, according to a translated version of the statement.
If the trading partners try to isolate Beijing, "China will never accept it and will resolutely take countermeasures in a reciprocal manner."
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.36% while the two-year bond was at 3.75%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing an 89% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

The SPY was down 1.07% to $520.79, while the QQQ declined 1.17% to $438.87, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From Last Session:
While several S&amp;P 500 sectors posted gains on Thursday, led by energy, consumer staples, and real estate, the broader U.S. market mostly closed lower.
The Dow Jones marked its third consecutive day of losses. All major indices finished the shortened week in the red, pressured by steep declines in technology and health care.
The downturn was largely influenced by declines in information technology stocks like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), down around 3%, and health care stocks like UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), which plummeted over 22% after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44869920/unitedhealth-ceo-says-high-cost-of-us-health-care-simply-not-sustainable">disappointing earnings</a> and guidance.
Meanwhile, Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) soared over 14% on positive weight-loss drug trial data.
Economic data from Thursday showed a decline in housing starts, a drop in jobless claims, and a sharp contraction in the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index.
By Thursday&#8217;s market close, the S&amp;P 500 had fallen 14.1% from its record high of 6,147.43. The Dow Jones was down 13.15% from its 52-week peak, and the Nasdaq 100 had dropped 17.84% from its high.

Insights From Analysts:
According to the data shared by Ryan Detrick from Carson Research, &#8220;the best and worst days tend to occur near the same time.&#8221;
He cautioned the investors with a graph of best and worst days and said, &#8220;So once again, if you sell after the worst days, odds are the best days are right around the corner.&#8221;

Damodaran warned that &#8220;buying the dip&#8221; can be like &#8220;catching a falling knife,&#8221; as an initial decline might precede a much steeper and prolonged sell-off. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Damodaran outlines several distinct paths for contrarian investors:
<ul>
<li>The Value Contrarian: This investor seeks out fundamentally undervalued companies that have been unfairly punished by the market. Their focus is on intrinsic value, patiently waiting for the market to recognize the discrepancy between price and worth. Buying the dip for a value contrarian involves identifying fundamentally sound companies whose temporary price decline offers an even more attractive entry point.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Sentiment Contrarian: This investor bets against prevailing market sentiment, often buying when fear and pessimism are rampant. They believe that markets tend to overreact, creating opportunities to profit from the eventual correction. For this type, buying the dip is about capitalizing on widespread panic, assuming the underlying fundamentals are not severely compromised.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Catalyst-Driven Contrarian: This investor looks for companies facing temporary setbacks or negative news that they believe will eventually be resolved. They buy in anticipation of a specific catalyst that will trigger a positive re-evaluation by the market. Buying the dip here is a calculated bet on a turnaround or the dissipation of current concerns.</li>

Elon Musk says that Neuralink, which specializes in creating Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), will help ‘completely blind' people see again.
What Happened: On Sunday, an account on X called &#8216;Whole Mars Catalog&#8217; shared a post hailing Tesla's FSD technology, calling it a means for ‘freedom for all people&#8217; and how being disabled wouldn&#8217;t impact people&#8217;s ability to travel.
Musk responded to the post by saying, "With Neuralink interfacing directly to the visual cortex, even those who are completely blind will be able to see again."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">With <a href="https://twitter.com/neuralink?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Neuralink</a> interfacing directly to the visual cortex, even those who are completely blind will be able to see again. Computer vision will be limited at first, like early computer graphics, but ultimately will exceed the best human eyes.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1913691149514010626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 19, 2025</a></blockquote>

The billionaire also added that while computer vision would be ‘limited' initially, it will ultimately exceed the ‘best' human eyes.
Why It Matters: While the sector is still in its early stages, technology for BCI and ‘thought-controlled' devices is steadily growing. Be that as it may, Neuralink still is the dominant force in the field.
Neuralink's application has showcased success in the recent past, with Noland Arbaugh, a recipient of a Neuralink implant, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44358022/paralyzed-man-moves-objects-with-his-mind-thanks-to-elon-musks-brain-chip">controlling computers </a>with his thoughts.
However, Neuralink has its share of critics. Recently, former White House strategist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44891849/steve-bannon-says-elon-musk-is-evil-blasts-his-brain-chip-ambitions-as-technofeudalist-plot-to-hijack-humanitys-future">Steve Bannon criticized</a> Musk and Neuralink in an interview. "By seeking to implant computer chips in people&#8217;s brains, Musk is attempting to disrupt humanity itself," Bannon said.
Besides Neuralink, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42523165/elon-musks-neuralink-faces-fierce-competition-as-precision-neuroscience-raises-102-million-to-advance-thought-controlled-devices">Precision Neuroscience</a> is another big player in the BCI sector, having recently secured FDA approval for its implants.

Elon Musk Says Neuralink Will Help Blind People See Again: 'Will Exceed The Best Human Eyes'

New U.S. tariffs are impacting the cold drink companies, with the Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) ending up with a cost advantage over PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>).
The key factor behind the change is where each company manufactures the concentrate that forms the base of their sodas.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/04/44773952/a-closer-look-at-pepsicos-options-market-dynamics">PepsiCo</a> manufactures almost all of its concentrate for U.S. sodas in Ireland, which is now subject to a 10% tariff.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44786256/coca-cola-stock-looks-refreshing-after-the-relief-rally">Coca-Cola</a>, by producing its concentrate largely in Atlanta and Puerto Rico, has managed to avoid this import duty. The Wall Street Journal reports that both companies also have to deal with a 25% tariff on imported aluminum, which has raised concerns about packaging costs.

Why It Matters: Pepsi's decision to base concentrate production in Ireland for tax benefits has landed it with an unexpected disadvantage.
Dr Pepper recently raced ahead of it in U.S. market share—Pepsi must now absorb increased costs or pass them on to consumers. Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDP#NASDAQ">KDP</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43966231/keurig-dr-peppers-dirty-soda-success-social-media-fuels-eighth-consecutive-year-of-market-share-growth">exceeded analyst expectations</a> in the fourth quarter.
As the trade war continues, production geography is becoming a central factor in business strategy. With its domestic operations, Coca-Cola is better positioned to tackle the impact, while PepsiCo faces new challenges in an already competitive market.
