If crypto tokens were used cars, how would you tell a bargain from a clunker? The answer might have spared investors in Libra or Hawk Tuah a lot of pain.
According to a study by Solidus Labs,&nbsp;nearly 99% of tokens on DIY meme platform Pump.fun collapse into <a href="https://www.soliduslabs.com/reports/solana-rug-pulls-pump-dumps-crypto-compliance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">worthless pump &amp; dump schemes</a>. On Raydium's DEX, the firm found roughly 93% of token liquidity pools have ‘rug pull characteristics.'
An analysis of token promotions on Telegram by CertiK found that nearly half of the 93,930 new tokens promoted between 2023 and 2024 were&nbsp;<a href="https://www.certik.com/resources/blog/evil-in-the-shadows-unveiling-the-chaos-in-ethereums-token-ecosystem" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">involved in deceptive exit swindles</a> — an astonishing 46,526.
Fraudsters got 282,699.96 ETH off the back of these cons, roughly $800 million.
The numbers are staggering  —  and not just the losses. Tokens proliferate at a pace that makes it all but impossible for buyers to discern a promising investment from a money-losing sinkhole.
But experts say volume isn't the issue , it's&nbsp;lack of transparency.&nbsp;A dearth of reliable information has created what 1970s economist&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1879431" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Akerlof</a>&nbsp;called&nbsp;A Market for Lemons, where information asymmetry can cause entire markets to collapse.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Are tokens broken?</h2>
In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99XsVSN_doQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent presentation</a>&nbsp;at Blockchain VC DBA's Research Day 2025,&nbsp;Theia Research co-founder Felipe Montealegre captured the nub of the problem.
"In Akerlof's model, there are peaches and there are lemons. Peaches are good, but lemons don't work, and even if you get them fixed, they'll be broken again in months. The problem is that buyers don't know which of these two car types they're buying, because there's no credible signal to differentiate between the two."
In other words, a salesman may tell you a car is in great shape, but a lack of credible support for the claim means it can't be trusted.
"This is the risk with token markets. We have asymmetric information about what's going on with market maker deals, what's going on with insider selling, and what's going on with basic financial disclosures." As a result, he says the market "is beginning to price all tokens as loans. That creates problems."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Death by 1,000 Unlocks</h2>
One is a dampening effect on token valuations across the board. If you can't have full confidence in the quality of any car, Montealegre said it is safest to assume that only people with lemons are selling. The price of cars generally will tend to drop as a result. That's happening with tokens.
Another is the visibility of the price signals investors rely on to make decisions about where to allocate their money. In token markets, the ‘feedback loop' between investors and end customers is broken. He added:
"Capitalism works when investors can see product-market fit (companies making products customers are happy to pay for) and allocate funds appropriately. If your companies don't find product market fit, you are removed from the capital allocator gene pool.
"The problem in token markets is that the feedback loop has not been based on ‘Can we get customers to pay for this product?' It has been based on ‘Can I get this token to pump long enough to exit my position?"
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prediction Markets Offer a Way&nbsp;Out</h2>
To help ensure that any hidden issues make their way to the surface, Montealegre suggests new projects look to&nbsp;<a href="https://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/futarchy.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">futarchy</a>, a form of governance that borrows from prediction markets.
It works by creating two conditional markets around any big change to a token's economic or underlying model.
Let's say a project decided to turn on a fee switch that redirected transaction fees to token holders, liquidity providers, or other ecosystem stakeholders.
"You'd create one market that lets you buy or short if the fee switch&nbsp;is&nbsp;turned on, and another market that lets you buy or short if the fee switch is&nbsp;not&nbsp;turned on," Montealegre explained.
Because prediction markets have an uncanny ability to surface hidden information, "the market knows, and that information gives a team the ability to know which of the two decisions will lead to a higher token price."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Take&nbsp;Away</h2>
In the end, Akerlof's lemon problem was solved, more or less, by the auto industry. Manufacturers decided to allow third-party audits and inspections of factory processes, sending powerful trust signals that made it much easier for buyers to differentiate between lemons and peaches.
Safe harbor regulations proposed by Trump-appointed SEC commissioner Hester M. Peirce will also help, Montealegre said, though he believes the crypto industry needs to clean up its act first.
"We want permissionless, cheap, programmable capital raising on an open internet, but that's not the way regulators think. They're operating off a 90-year-old securities framework.
"If they look at the state of token markets today, and they see a cesspool of fraud, waste, and abuse, they will not take us seriously. So we need to get our own house in order before this happens, so we can persuade them to consider our view of the world."&nbsp;

Looking At AST SpaceMobile's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Fitness stocks witnessed a sharp sell-off this week, after a provision that would allow Americans to use pre-tax dollars from Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to pay for gym memberships and fitness equipment was excluded from the Senate&#8217;s budget reconciliation bill.
What Happened: Shares of Peloton Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTON#NASDAQ">PTON</a>) and Xponential Fitness Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPOF#NYSE">XPOF</a>) fell by 11.65% and 6.67%, respectively, on Tuesday. 
This was in response to the PHIT Act (Personal Health Investment Today) being excluded from the Senate&#8217;s version of the bill, according to a report <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/news/the-fly/fitness-stocks-fall-after-senate-bill-omits-health-savings-accounts-thefly">by</a> TipRanks. The act was expected to provide substantial tailwinds for the health and fitness industries.
The bill would have made Peloton&#8217;s products more affordable to customers, alongside Xponential&#8217;s services and memberships, by offering customers a potential tax offset. Thus, its exclusion was seen by the markets as a setback for the industry.

However, not all fitness stocks were hit, with Planet Fitness Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>), which despite having witnessed a decline on Tuesday, has since mounted a decent recovery, and is up 4.4% so far this week.
This can be attributed to a bullish analyst note leading up to it, with a Canaccord Genuity analyst raising their target on the stock to $126, representing a 17% upside from current levels. 
The analysts cited its resilient, value-based gym model, along with an asset-light franchise strategy that is currently seeing strong membership trends without any FSA-related tailwinds, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/planet-fitness-price-target-raised-to-126-from-120-at-canaccord-genuity-93CH-4092853">reported</a> by Investing.
Why It Matters: Three weeks ago, it was estimated that President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; would potentially add 20 million more Americans to the 60 million who are already covered by HSAs, thus creating significant tailwinds for the industry. 
This was, however, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/05/45692784/20-million-more-americans-could-gain-hsa-access-under-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-but-it-wont-be-cheap">met with criticism</a> since experts believed it would mostly be beneficial to people with higher income, and was projected to cost&nbsp;$180.8 billion&nbsp;in lost revenues between 2025 and 2034.
During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45284425/planet-fitness-q1-membership-gains-strong-says-tariff-exposure-is-currently-limited">first quarter results</a> last month, Planet Fitness missed Wall Street estimates, with $276.7 million in revenue, up 11.5% year-over-year, with a profit of $0.59 per share, against a consensus of $0.62 per share.
The company, however, touted its strong growth amid an increasingly turbulent global macro backdrop, saying that its exposure to the trade and tariff policies was limited.
Price Action: Shares of Planet Fitness were up 4.89% on Wednesday, closing at $107.69, and it is flat in after-hours trading.

Small business expert Codie Sanchez has acquired many Main Street businesses and teaches others how to do the same. As you set bigger goals and acquire businesses, you start to change as an individual, and that transformation can make you feel isolated. The further you pursue career growth and other goals, the harder it is to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@realcodiesanchez/video/7515804964606823726?lang=en">find like-minded people</a>.
Sanchez presents a solution to this problem while saying something that sounds contradictory.
"I don't need friends anymore," she stated.
Sanchez then revealed how this mindset can expand your network and introduce more opportunities.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meet People Who Have The Same Goals</h2>
Sanchez recommends meeting people who have the same goals. For instance, Sanchez said that she needs business partners instead of friends. Business partners can be great friends, but these people also have the same goals and can work with you toward your dreams.
You can meet like-minded people on social media, business conferences, online groups, and other locations that these individuals regularly attend. You have to get yourself out there to meet these types of people. While you can meet people online, it's even better to get out of your house and meet people in person.
Sanchez's TikTok video included multiple clips where she meets business partners and other individuals who align with her goals. While posting on social media and interacting with people online can be a great starting point, it's great to capitalize on your area. If you can't find any like-minded people in your location, it may be worth it to move somewhere else.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apply This Same Strategy Outside Of Your Career</h2>
Sanchez doesn't only use this strategy to meet business partners. She's also intentional about finding more gym buddies and allies who push her.&nbsp;
Working out with gym buddies may not seem like something that improves your business and finances. However, getting regular exercise and pursuing hobbies can expand your creativity and ability to solve problems. If you do rigorous workouts, it's easier to commit to long-term financial goals that require plenty of sacrifices along the way.
If you want to improve in any skill, consider who you have to surround yourself with to make it easier to succeed. Trying to make new friends is the luck of the draw, but if you're intentional about the type of people you want to meet, you have a higher likelihood of finding them.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Look For People Who Motivate You</h2>
Sanchez wrapped up her TikTok video by saying that she regularly looks for hustlers who motivate her. Finding these types of people can introduce you to new ideas that can boost your income and move you closer to your goals.
However, motivational people don't have to have a higher status than you. You may be motivated by someone who is hustling hard to make their ventures work and is in the process of upscaling their career. Serving as a mentor for these types of individuals can remind you of valuable lessons that you may have forgotten.
You can also find someone that motivates you in one of your hobbies. You may be further along than someone with your finances, but if that same person is further along in your hobby than you are, it's possible to be motivated by that person.&nbsp;

Codie Sanchez Shares Who You Should Meet To Build Your Network: 'I Don't Need Friends Anymore'

AstraZeneca's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NYSE">AZN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.33% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.92 million shares sold short, which is 0.22% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.56 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>AstraZeneca Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750435230_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AstraZeneca has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AstraZeneca's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AstraZeneca's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.86%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
