Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based internet brand Ponke (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PONKE</a>) has partnered with consumer product heavyweight 223 to manufacture and distribute officially licensed toys, apparel and accessories globally, aiming to bring its digital-native IP to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45297511/98-of-pump-fun-tokens-are-frauds-the-extractive-nature-of-solana-meme-coins">traditional retail shelves</a>.
Under the deal, 223 will serve as the master licensee for Ponke, taking charge of manufacturing, sub-licensing, and global distribution of products such as apparel, collectibles, and phygital goods embedded with NFC technology.
223 inherits a legacy of distribution and licensing from JCorp, whose IP portfolio includes some of the most commercially successful brands in entertainment and retail, including Marvel, Disney and Coca-Cola.
JCorp's products are widely distributed in major global chains such as Walmart, Target, and Tesco.
The partnership marks a major step in Ponke's effort to translate its internet-native following into a mainstream commercial brand.
"Ponke fits perfectly into our vision of building culturally relevant IPs that merge digital and physical worlds," <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/19/3084204/0/en/Ponke-Taps-223-to-Lead-Global-Licensing-Push-Bringing-Viral-Memecoin-IP-to-Retail-Shelves-Worldwide.html">said </a>Cole Gurman of 223.
The first major milestone of the collaboration will be Ponke's appearance at the 2025 Las Vegas Licensing Expo, where it will be showcased alongside established global IPs in search of new licensing and distribution partners.

"Collaborating with 223, the spinout of a powerhouse like JCorp, opens the door to a completely new level of scale," a Ponke representative said. "We've always believed Ponke had limitless commercializable potential — and this partnership gives us the tools, network, and infrastructure to realize it."
The agreement reflects a broader trend of meme-driven and online-native intellectual property transitioning from Web3 communities into physical products, aided by traditional licensing infrastructures.
Ponke currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $92 million, positioning it as a smaller player compared to leading meme coins. 
For context, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) leads with a market cap of about $33 billion, Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) follows with around $8.5 billion, and Bonk (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONK</a>), another Solana-based meme coin, stands at approximately $1.55 billion.
Despite its relatively modest market cap, Ponke has achieved a prestigious listing on the GMCI Memecoin Index, signaling increasing recognition in the crypto community .

Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) shares fell 13.9% to $11.46 Monday morning, pulling back after a major rally last week, likely due to profit-taking. The stock had surged 40% over the week following a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45473737/archer-aviation-achr-stock-soars-on-la28-olympics-deal-strong-earnings">bullish developments</a>.
What To Know: The rally was fueled by Archer's announcement that it will serve as the official air taxi provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, transporting VIPs and fans using its Midnight eVTOL aircraft. The partnership includes a media deal with NBCUniversal for Olympic coverage in 2026 and 2028.
Archer also reported a smaller-than-expected first-quarter loss of 17 cents per share and ended the quarter with a record $1.03 billion in cash. The company reaffirmed plans to deliver its first aircraft to the UAE by year-end.
The company is also expanding AI efforts via a new partnership with Palantir Technologies. Analysts at HC Wainwright, Needham and Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated bullish ratings, citing strong momentum, defense and AI potential and progress toward FAA certification.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ACHR Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Archer Aviation &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Archer Aviation, which is trading at $11.46 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 8.6 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ACHR has a 52-week high of $13.92 and a 52-week low of $2.82.

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) on Monday announced its integration in the Nvidia Enterprise AI Factory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45486888/nvidia-enterprise-ai-factory-integrates-crowdstrikes-falcon-platform-into-validated-design-archite">validated design architecture</a>.
What Happened: Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike on Monday announced that enterprises can now deploy CrowdStrike in Nvidia Enterprise AI Factory deployments to secure <a href="http://benzinga.com/topic/ai">AI</a> infrastructure, AI systems and AI models.&nbsp;
The company said the new integration helps those aiming to bring AI into production at scale, offering full-stack infrastructure to build, deploy and operate AI applications, agentic AI and physical AI workflows with speed and control.
&#8220;CrowdStrike pioneered AI-native cybersecurity, and today we&#8217;re securing the standardized architecture that&#8217;s transforming how organizations innovate in the AI era,&#8221; said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. 
As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, they face risks including data poisoning, model tampering and potential exposure of sensitive data. CrowdStrike is using AI to secure AI through a continuous feedback loop that trains CrowdStrike AI to learn and adapt in real time, offering protection against known and emerging threats.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CRWD Stock</h3>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in CrowdStrike's case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

'TotalEnergies Signs New LNG Deal with Proposed Canadian Site'- Bloomberg

The Moody's downgrade of U.S. credit on Friday sent shockwaves through markets, driving 30-year Treasury yields to 5% — a level unseen since October 2023 — reviving fears about debt sustainability and putting downward pressure on equity <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45492889/americas-credit-strength-just-got-cut-again-should-you-panic">valuations across the board.</a>
Moody's decision marks the third U.S. credit rating downgrade since 2011, following S&amp;P's move in 2011 and Fitch's in 2023.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How Higher Treasury Yields Hurt Stock Markets</h1>
Higher yields ripple across the entire financial system, raising borrowing costs and changing how investors value stocks.
There are at least five channels via which higher Treasury yields pressure markets:
1. Bond Prices Fall, Increasing Market Volatility: As yields rise, prices of existing bonds drop — hurting current bondholders and increasing volatility. Rising Treasury yields also ripple through markets as a broad signal of tightening financial conditions.
2. Cost Of Capital Increases: Treasury yields serve as a benchmark for other forms of debt. When they rise, companies — especially those already heavily indebted — must pay more to borrow from investors. That slows investment, expansion and profitability, particularly for heavily leveraged firms.
3. Earnings Yield Becomes Less Competitive: As of mid-May, the S&amp;P 500 earnings yield stood at 3.5%, trailing the 10-year Treasury yield by a full percentage point. This reverses the typical risk-return tradeoff, making &#8220;risk-free&#8221; government bonds more attractive than equities — and increasing the likelihood of investors shifting capital away from stocks.

4. Discount Rates Rise, Valuations Drop: Treasury yields act as a benchmark discount rate in stock valuation models. Higher yields reduce the present value of expected cash flows — particularly for growth stocks and small caps that rely on future profitability.
5. Consumer Spending Gets Squeezed: Higher Treasury yields — particularly longer-dated ones — also push up rates on mortgages, credit cards and loans. That weakens consumer demand and further weighs on earnings outlooks for consumer-facing sectors.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Historical Reactions To U.S. Credit Downgrades: 2011 vs. 2023</h1>
While the full effect of the May 2025 Moody's downgrade is still unfolding, we can look back at 2011 and 2023 for comparison. 
In both instances, equity markets sold off sharply, and volatility spiked in the two months following the downgrade. However, their trajectories diverged in the months that followed.
In 2011, markets staged a strong rebound in October, with the S&amp;P 500 — as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — rallying over 10%, as investors looked past the downgrade. In contrast, 2023 saw continued equity losses through October, before stocks finally bottomed out and launched a powerful rally that lasted through February 2025, driven by easing inflation and AI-fueled tech momentum.
Reactions across other asset classes were more mixed. Treasury bonds — looking at the 10-year benchmark — rose in 2011, as investors fled to safety despite the downgrade. But in 2023, they declined, reflecting fears about long-term debt sustainability and inflation.
The U.S. dollar strengthened in both cases, defying expectations that credit downgrades would dent its safe-haven status.
Gold, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) — saw mixed performance, surging after the 2011 downgrade but falling in the immediate aftermath of the 2023 cut before rebounding.

US Rating Downgrade Pushes Treasury Yields To 5%: What It Means For Stocks

Raymond James analyst John Freeman reiterates Permian Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PR#NYSE">PR</a>) with a Strong Buy and raises the price target from $20 to $23.

Raymond James Reiterates Strong Buy on Permian Resources, Raises Price Target to $23

This week, investor attention shifts to the heart of the U.S. economy: the consumer. Retail earnings are front and center, offering a fresh read on how spending habits are holding up amid persistent conversations around inflation and tariffs. Last week, Walmart gave us an early look, and now we'll hear from TJ Maxx, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe's.
TJ Maxx and Target, in particular, will be closely watched. Both serve as bellwethers for consumer behavior, especially in the face of pricing pressures and shifting demand. On the earnings calls, expect analysts and investors to dig into any commentary around pricing, especially after Walmart hinted at potential increases tied to tariffs. Will others follow suit?
It was a strong week for markets. With tariff-related tensions cooling, optimism has returned. We saw a finalized deal with the UK, a pause in talks with China, and a series of other potential agreements making headlines, all fueling bullish sentiment.
Inflation also surprised to the downside last week, challenging the prevailing narrative. While many economists still expect inflation to pick up in the coming months, I believe we're more likely to see one-off price increases in specific sectors rather than broad, sustained inflation.
With earnings season in full swing and momentum on our side, I remain bullish. If current trends hold, I believe we could see new all-time highs in the coming days.
My advice? Focus on the positive and keep an optimistic outlook.

Where Does The Consumer Stand: Retail Earnings On Tap This Week

B Of A Securities analyst Sara Senatore increased the price forecast for CAVA Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>) from $112 to $121 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CAVA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while reiterating a Buy rating</a>.
On Friday, CAVA&#8217;s first-quarter revenue increased 28.2% year-over-year to $331.83 million, beating the&nbsp;consensus estimate of $326.88 million, and adjusted EPS of 22 cents, beating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45453995/cava-group-reports-q1-earnings-revenue-jumps-28-company-bumps-up-new-restaurant-openings-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst estimates of 14 cents</a>.
CAVA expects full-year same-restaurant sales (SSS) growth to be between 6% and 8%, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">unchanged from prior guidance</a>.

The analyst notes that first-quarter 2025 SSS growth of 10.8% modestly exceeded BofA&#8217;s estimate of 9.7% and the Visible Alpha consensus of 10.4%.
This makes it particularly noteworthy due to its traffic-driven nature (+7.5%) as CAVA maintained pricing discipline (~1.7% compared to the broader food-away-from-home Consumer Price Index (FAFH CPI) of 3.6%), adds the analyst.
Considering the headwinds from weather and LA fires, the analyst estimates the implied 3-year stacked SSS growth was 3-5+ percentage points ahead of CAVA&#8217;s high-30s guidance (reported additive stack was ~+41.5%, including weather impact).
The analyst believes CAVA&#8217;s FY25 SSS guidance is likely conservative, citing the strong performance of recent menu innovations and advertising, along with upcoming catalysts such as menu news (chicken shawarma testing in Dallas, Texas and Western Florida) and the loyalty program.
The analyst maintained the FY25 SSS growth estimate at 7.4%, with stronger traffic growth (+5.2% versus +3.5% previously) offset by a lower mix (+0.5% versus +1.8% previously).
Senatore estimates FY25 Restaurant Level Margin (RLM) of 25.3% and has raised pre-opening costs estimates to $15.2 million from $13.3 million previously, reflecting the new guidance for faster unit growth. As a result, the analyst revised FY25 EPS estimates to 58 cents from 61 cents previously.
Last week, TD Cowen analyst Andrew M. Charles reiterated a Buy&nbsp;rating and maintained&nbsp;a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45476152/cava-beats-q1-expectations-analyst-names-it-a-top-pick-amid-expansion-push" rel="noreferrer noopener">$120&nbsp;price forecast on the stock</a>.
He noted the company&#8217;s unique advantage from organic brand discovery and meaningful sales catalysts. He sees potential upside to 2025 SSS and adjusted EBITDA guidance, maintains estimates, and a &#8220;Top Pick&#8221; rating.
Price Action: CAVA shares are trading lower by 4.65% to $92.30 at last check Monday.

Trader Notes: Crypto analyst Seth recently shared a bullish outlook on XRP, emphasizing the token's strong fundamentals, including increased ledger activity, regulatory clarity and upcoming ecosystem upgrades. 
His base-case projections suggest XRP could see a valuation surge of at least 35%, with bull market scenarios indicating potential gains of over 100%.
Key metrics backing this thesis include over 1 million daily transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), 6+ million active accounts, with notable growth in Asia and Latin America and major feature rollouts including native stablecoins (RLUSD), automated market makers, decentralized exchange support, on-chain oracles and smart contracts.
Ripple's institutional DeFi roadmap also outlines developments such as permissioned DEXs, lending platforms, and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). 
With $3.8 billion in assets already tokenized and more than 18,000 tokens active on XRPL's decentralized exchange, the infrastructure is primed for further institutional integration.
Seth projects market capitalization targets of $175 billion–$230 billion in a conservative scenario and $290 billion &#8211; $500 billion under full bull market conditions.
However, not all analysts are equally bullish in the short term. 
Technical analyst Ali Martinez warned that a break below $2.30 could trigger a retracement to $2.00.

Statistics: According to Coinglass, XRP saw $13.4 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, with $12.28 million in long positions, suggesting bullish bias despite recent price action. 
Derivatives trading volume also surged by 85.7%, signaling renewed trader interest.
Community News: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse <a href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1924476816246337751">stated</a> that the regulated XRP futures launch on CME Group is a key institutional milestone for XRP community. 
He added that prime brokerage Hidden Road cleared the first block trade.
Following its DFSA licensing approval in Dubai, Ripple announced strategic partnerships with Zand Bank and Mamo to expand its blockchain-based payments infrastructure across the Middle East. 
Zand is reportedly developing an AED-backed stablecoin, aimed at improving settlement speeds in the region's rapidly evolving digital economy.
