The Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event featured a panel on NFTs and the metaverse, sparking discussions about their long-term potential despite current skepticism. Post panel, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138947/bitcoin-zeroes-in-on-100000-but-this-indicator-signals-one-more-brief-correction">Ian Horne, head of content </a>for Money20/20 Amsterdam, shared his perspective on how these technologies may evolve and gain broader acceptance over time.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Beyond Skepticism</h1>
Horne acknowledged the criticism NFTs and the metaverse have faced in recent years, often due to unrealistic expectations and failed projects. But, he argued that their core concepts remain relevant for the future of digital interaction.
"These concepts have been derided rightly for failures in recent years," Horne said, "but long term, the idea of a metaverse becoming a thriving idea, and NFTs being important to identity and how we relate to others online, is completely still valid."
The panel conversation, which included Alex Salnikov of Rarible, delved into how practical applications of NFTs and metaverse technology could reshape online experiences. Horne emphasized that discussing these ideas in a grounded way helps audiences better understand their potential.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Adoption Through Integration</h1>
Addressing skepticism, Horne explained that widespread adoption of these technologies would likely happen when seamlessly integrated into daily activities without being labeled as NFTs or metaverse applications. 
"I think the real adoption of these things is going to happen when we don't talk about it like it being the metaverse or like it being an NFT," he said. Instead, users will engage with digital tools like tokens or online marketplaces without understanding the underlying technology.
Horne stressed the focus should shift to the value these technologies add rather than their technical definitions. "When we're talking about the value add and not the technology, that's when I think we're nailing it," he added.
The panel discussion at the event reflected a broader sentiment that while challenges remain, the long-term promise of NFTs and the metaverse lies in their ability to integrate seamlessly into the digital world and shape how individuals interact online.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With CMG

Editor&#8217;s note: This article has been updated to clarify that the Czech government approved a draft bill regarding cannabis cultivation rather than having legalized marijuana cultivation and possession of 50 grams as was previously reported.
The Czech government recently proposed a draft law that would reform criminal law regarding cannabis, with changes including relaxed rules on home cultivation and possession. The draft law now needs to be viewed by both chambers of Parliament.
 During a press conference, Justice Minister Pavel Blažek spoke about raising and favoring financial penalties over imprisonment for cannabis offenses.
"Our punishment system is outdated and diverging from the rest of the EU, which is obviously not good," Blažek said, <a href="https://www.echo24.cz/a/H5KfB/zpravy-vlada-schvalila-novela-trestniho-zakoniku-ministr-spravedlnosti-pavel-blazek-vezeni-konopi-tresty">reported</a> Echo24, according to translation.
Under the proposed changes, which could take months to be approved, cultivating up to three cannabis plants and possessing up to 50 grams outside the home and 25 grams inside would be legal. Cultivating four to five plants would be treated as a minor offense, but anything more than that would be considered criminal activity.
The opposition Pirate Party argued that the proposal is inadequate because allowing cultivation of several plants does not permit their harvest, as three plants could yield up to 300 grams.
"Instead of legalization and additional revenue for the budget, the government presents a botched proposal," said former Deputy Prime Minister and ex-leader of the Pirate Party Ivan Bartoš. "You can grow cannabis, but you can't harvest it. Allowing the cultivation of three cannabis plants while limiting possession to 50 grams at home is absurd. It's like being allowed to keep three hens, but if they lay more than one egg, you face a fine or jail time."
Bartoš further argued that proposal is complicating the situation for up to 600,000 medical marijuana patients. The Pirate Party plans to propose increasing the legal possession limit to 900 grams.
The government wants to implement the approved changes before the end of its term.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recent Calls For Regulated Cannabis Market</h2>
The news comes several months after the governing coalition confirmed it supports cannabis cultivation, but not the establishment of a regulated marijuana market. At the same time, former National Drug Coordinator Jindřich Vobořil shared he doesn't believe that the game is over for full legalization and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40626067/full-cannabis-legalization-not-yet-off-the-table-in-czech-republic-some-lawmakers-want-only-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">continues to push for it</a>.
Meanwhile, a recent study conducted by the researchers from the Faculty of Business Economics at the University of Prague concluded that the country could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40879273/this-european-country-could-lose-242m-a-year-if-it-doesnt-regulate-its-marijuana-market-study-fi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing out on hundreds of millions of euros </a>annually if it doesn&#8217;t establish a regulated marijuana market. As per the report a &#8220;comprehensive model,&#8221; incorporating self-cultivation, cannabis clubs and a fully commercial market, could result in "total net social benefits of CZK 5.5 billion (218 million euros; $242 million) per year.

Czech Government Approves Draft Law That Would Legalize Cultivation Of 3 Cannabis Plants, Possession Of 50 Grams (UPDATED)

The COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, concluded yesterday with an agreement to provide $300 billion annually to developing nations by 2035, helping to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change">climate change</a>. While hailed as progress to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41925800/urgency-debate-mark-cop29-as-leaders-push-for-carbon-market-rules-worry-about-trump">previous $100 billion commitment</a>, the sum fell short of the $1.3 trillion initially identified as necessary to address the crisis.
&#8220;Without more substantial financing, many vulnerable countries will remain underprepared for escalating climate challenges,&#8221;<a href="https://www.wri.org/news/statement-cop29-finance-deal-downpayment-safer-more-equitable-future"> said</a> Ani Dasgupta, CEO of the World Resources Institute.
The agreement has drawn mixed reactions. Per BBC, India<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0gx4przejo"> criticized</a> the deal as a "paltry sum," while Nigeria labeled it a "joke." Delegates from the Marshall Islands expressed disappointment, describing the funding as woefully inadequate, yet acknowledged it as a starting point.
Meanwhile, wildlife conservation organization WWF expressed concern, calling the deal far below the ambition needed.
"The world has been let down by this weak climate finance deal. This is a serious blow to climate action, but it must not stall the solutions that are desperately needed around the world,"<a href="https://wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/press_releases/?12844466/COP29-outcome"> said</a> WWF Global Climate and Energy Lead and COP20 President Manuel Pulgar-Vidal.
The world remains on track for a temperature rise of 3.1°C by the century&#8217;s end. That&#8217;s far above the Paris Agreement&#8217;s goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C, according to<a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/10/1156071"> recent</a> UN reports.
Under the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 23 developed nations and the European Union must contribute to climate finance. The agreement also encourages private investment and contributions from institutions like the World Bank to meet the funding targets. The funds will support adaptation efforts. That includes building flood-resistant infrastructure and sustainable agriculture and facilitating a transition to renewable energy in developing nations.
Additionally, the summit finalized rules for a global carbon market. This system will allow companies to offset emissions by purchasing credits linked to reforestation and renewable energy initiatives. These efforts aim to accelerate the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), with countries required to update their climate action plans by February 2025.
President Joe Biden<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/11/23/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-conclusion-of-cop29-conference-in-baku-azerbaijan/"> called</a> the agreement "an essential step toward mobilizing funds to combat the climate crisis" while acknowledging the work ahead. However, President-elect Donald Trump's return raises doubt over the future of U.S. involvement, particularly given his previous withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
The Brazilian city of Belém will host the next summit, COP30, in November 2025. Brazilian officials have promised a high-stakes event they call the "COP of COPs," focusing on limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
iShares Global  Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) rose following the news. At 12:45 pm EST, it was trading 1.83% higher at $12.34.

A potential announcement on Dec. 3, the official anniversary date, could add to the festivities.
PlayStation has historically celebrated its milestones with special product launches, and these black accessories would continue that tradition. They also mark a shift from the white-dominated palette introduced with the PS5, giving fans more personalization options for their gaming setups.
In related news, Sony is said to be in the early stages of developing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42161830/sony-eyes-portable-gaming-market-with-new-handheld-console-in-development">portable PlayStation 5.</a> 
This development aligns with the growing trend of portable gaming, spurred by competitors like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.

Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem. Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.

<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>

Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

The International Monetary Fund believes that most of the impact from tighter money policies has already affected the U.S. economy, with the rest expected this year. Despite worries about a recession, the U.S. has shown resilience and strong growth since interest rates started going up in March 2022. This suggests a positive outlook for the U.S. economy in the coming months. With our economy, looking to perform well this year you need to invest in these <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/healthcare/biotech/">biotech stocks</a> that will provide high returns this year, with their new advances.



<h2>Catalyst Pharmaceuticals (CPRX)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/pill-bottle-biopharma-biotech-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Brown glass pill bottle on its side showing white pills inside, with other pill bottles behind it representing MACK stock."><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Champhei</div></div>


Catalyst Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cprx-stock-quote/">CPRX</a>) is a pharmaceutical company that focuses on licensing the rights to the cures of rare diseases. It has a valuation of $<a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CPRX:NASDAQ?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj0wbXG-uKDAxV1FVkFHUAxAX8Q3ecFegQIDhAX">14.36</a>, with a YoY decrease of <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CPRX:NASDAQ?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj0wbXG-uKDAxV1FVkFHUAxAX8Q3ecFegQIDhAX&amp;window=1Y">28.70%</a>. However, it appears to be poised for growth.



Although Catalyst has consistently <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CPRX?p=CPRX">missed earnings estimates</a> by small margins, 4 Yahoo Finance! investors have given it a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CPRX?p=CPRX">buy rating</a>. Additionally, 5 analysts have given it a price target of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CPRX?p=CPRX">$26.20</a>, far above its current valuation. It has a debt of $3.64 million, with a free cash flow of $120.97 million. This gives it plenty of liquid assets to invest in the development of new drugs.



A few key drugs Catalyst has in its pipeline include drugs for <a href="https://ir.catalystpharma.com/news-releases/news-release-details/catalyst-pharmaceuticals-reports-fda-approval-agamreer">Duchenne muscular dystrophy</a>. This disease will have a market of <a href="https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy-market-A15646">$2.07 billion in 2031</a>, with a CAGR of 4.7%. This is much more than Catalyst&rsquo;s current market cap of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CPRX/key-statistics?p=CPRX">$1.69 billion</a>, showing potential for future growth. Additionally, sales for current drugs are expected to hold steady. This makes it one of those biotech stocks to consider.



Management is expected to continue buying the rights to and developing drugs for niche, in-demand disorders. This opens the possibility of future growth. Coupled with being perceived as undervalued at the moment, it becomes clear why Catalyst Pharmaceuticals is a stock you should invest in.



<h2>Estrella Immunopharma (ESLA)&nbsp;</h2>

Overall, Q3 &lsquo;23 proved to be successful for ESLA, with the company outperforming previous years on net change in cash, increasing 1,886.80% YoY.
