The Exploration Company (TEC) has announced a successful funding round, raising $160 million to further develop its reusable space capsule, &#8220;Nyx.&#8221; This capsule is designed to transport both astronauts and cargo to space stations.
What Happened: The funding round was led by venture capital firms Balderton Capital and Plural. Additional support came from French Tech Souveraineté and DeepTech &amp; Climate Fonds, initiatives backed by the French and German governments. The Nyx capsule&#8217;s reusability is a key feature, allowing it to re-enter Earth&#8217;s atmosphere and be used for multiple missions, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/17/the-exploration-company-european-spacex-rival-raises-160-million-for-reusable-sapce-capsule.html">reported</a> on Monday.
Hélène Huby, the founder and CEO of TEC, emphasized the increasing demand for space travel, stating, &#8220;It&#8217;s a big market, and it&#8217;s growing about a bit more than 10% per year.&#8221; 
TEC is currently developing the second version of Nyx, with plans for a launch next year and a final version targeted for 2028. The European Space Agency is partially funding this project. The company has already secured $800 million in contracts, including agreements with Starlab and Axiom Space.

Why It Matters: The space industry is undergoing a transformation, with private companies playing a pivotal role in what is being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/general/24/09/41012312/investing-in-the-space-race-whos-set-to-dominate-orbit">termed &#8220;Space Race 2.0.&#8221; </a>This shift began in 2011 when the focus moved to public-private partnerships, with SpaceX emerging as a key player through its Falcon launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft.
In October, SpaceX, led by CEO Elon Musk, successfully demonstrated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41317860/elon-musk-went-from-examining-debris-from-falcon-1-flight-to-spacex-successfully-catching-booster-of">catching a booster propeller</a> for a Starship after it returned to Earth. The launch tower at Starbase caught the propeller with mechanical arms. The key objective of the flight test was to demonstrate the reusability of the Starship's design.
However, Starship <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42025066/elon-musks-spacex-delays-starship-test-flight-next-attempt-now-set-for-tuesday">recently faced a delay </a>in the sixth test flight. This flight, now due Nov. 19, will aim to catch Starship&#8217;s booster back at the launch site as on the previous flight and splash down the upper stage in the Indian Ocean. 
Past Flights:&nbsp;On Starship's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41317860/elon-musk-went-from-examining-debris-from-falcon-1-flight-to-spacex-successfully-catching-booster-of" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fifth flight test in October</a>, it lifted off from Starbase, and the booster returned to Earth after propelling Starship to space. The booster was subsequently caught by the launch tower at Starbase.
Musk has also been eyeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">taking humans to Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard the Starship.

SpaceX's European Rival Raises $160M For Reusable Space Capsule

Polish presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzen announced his intention to establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve if he emerges victorious in the forthcoming election, joining a growing list of politicians around the world attempting to make cryptocurrency a poll issue.
What Happened: In an X post on Sunday, Mentzen stated that if he is elected as the president, Poland will adopt a more cryptocurrency-friendly approach. This would include friendlier regulations, lower taxes, and support from banks and regulatory agencies. 
&#8220;BTC to the Moon,&#8221; the presidential hopeful wrote, a slang phrase used by Bitcoin maximalists having strong conviction in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s upside potential.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Poland should create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

BTC to the Moon! <a href="https://t.co/izKc4spkkV">pic.twitter.com/izKc4spkkV</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Presidential elections in Poland are slated for May 2025. Mentzen belongs to the far-right libertarian party New Hope, which has just 8 seats in the Sejm, Poland's lower house of parliament.

Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders</a>
Why It Matters: Mentzen&#8217;s pledge is similar to that of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who made several such Bitcoin-supportive promises during his campaign, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40179714/trumps-bitcoin-stockpile-plan-would-have-positive-impact-on-crypto-prices-but-would-leave-">the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin stockpile</a>.
Since his electoral triumph, expectations of such a reserve have surged significantly. Senator Cynthia Lummis, who (R-Wyo.) proposed the legislation earlier in July, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41784950/pro-bitcoin-senator-cynthia-lummis-vows-to-build-a-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-as-industry-e">reiterated her vow to establish the reserve</a>. If the bill is passed, it would create a Bitcoin fund to act as a hedge against the national debt. The bill aims to accumulate a million Bitcoins over a five-year period, which would be held for at least 20 years.
Apart from Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41847581/el-salvadors-bitcoin-bet-is-paying-off-heres-how-much-the-country-is-up">globally renowned for introducing pro-Bitcoin policies</a> in his tenure, including recognition of the cryptocurrency as a legal tender. 
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $91,779.08, up 1.50% 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>.

Nuclear energy stocks and ETFs have come to the fore as ARK Invest&#8217;s founder Cathie Wood <a href="https://www.ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/nuclear-energy-could-contribute-meaningfully-to-securing-net-zero-emissions">reshared the firm&#8217;s study </a>on how regulatory hurdles and anti-nuclear sentiment have caused cost overruns and rendered nuclear energy less cost-competitive than natural gas today.
This comes as Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is all set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) along with Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy. As the task force promises to dismantle bureaucracy, reduce regulations, and cut wasteful expenditures, ARKinvest tried to redirect DOGE&#8217;s official page on X (formerly Twitter) to focus on the regulatory hurdles that nuclear energy as a sector has faced in the last 20 years.

What Happened: &#8220;The International Energy Agency has identified nuclear energy as vital to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, yet nuclear power in the United States has stagnated at ~20% of the energy mix since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986,&#8221; said an ARKInvest note based on data from IEA as of October 2023.
In addition to its cost-effectiveness, nuclear power provides a reliable, continuous, and carbon-free supply of energy. These are important now since an explosion in demand for artificial intelligence is taxing the electricity consumption of data centers.

Daniel Maguire, research associate at ARKInvest stated in his report dated April 2024 that stringent regulatory changes and anti-nuclear sentiment have stunted the build-out of nuclear capacity and caused cost overruns in developing US nuclear plants.
Regulatory changes in the mid-to-late seventies, including the establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Energy Research and Development Administration, introduced stricter licensing measures, increasing costs significantly. Without such stringent regulations, ARKInvest&#8217;s research suggests that lower cost trajectories could have saved the US about $345 billion, or ~72% of the total.

Why It Matters: With the introduction of the U.S. Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project and other emerging government support programs, nuclear cost overruns should reverse course as countries look for robust clean energy solutions to meet their net carbon emissions reduction commitments.
Maguire&#8217;s tweet shared by Wood, tagged the Department of Government Efficiency, to bring this to light. The department is scheduled to complete its work by July 4, 2026, coinciding with America's 250th independence anniversary. Focus on this area could help spur activity in the nuclear energy sector by developing clean, carbon-free energy production avenues at lower costs.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Sunday acknowledged the need for bigger, family-sized electric vehicle models from the EV giant.
What Happened: &#8220;Ok,&#8221; Musk wrote to an X user who flagged the need for a bigger Tesla EV for bigger families. 
&#8220;We need big Teslas for big families,&#8221; the user wrote.

Tesla unveiled its dedicated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284847/tesla-reveals-two-seater-cybercab-that-drives-itself">robotaxi offering called Cybercab</a> in October, featuring just two seats. Other Tesla vehicles come with five-seat interiors in the U.S., except the long-range all-wheel drive variant of Model Y in which Tesla offers a 7-seat interior option for an added $1,000 or $2,000, depending on the choice of color for the interiors.
Tesla also revealed a Robovan together with the two-seat Cybercab in October with no pedals or wheels capable of transporting up to 20 people or cargo without a driver. However, the company did not provide a production timeline for the vehicle. 
Why It Matters: Musk believes that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39443823/elon-musk-once-said-collapsing-birth-rate-is-the-biggest-danger-civilization-faces-he-has-fathered-1">population collapse</a> is coming with people choosing to have fewer or no children.

Global investment banks revealed significant positions held in cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) stock MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), according to their latest 13F filings with the SEC.
JPMorgan Chase
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., the world&#8217;s largest bank by market capitalization, made sizable investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs for the quarter ending Sept. 30.
The bank purchased 387 shares, worth $13,982, of iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) after offloading them all in the last quarter.
JPMorgan also reallocated to Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>), bagging 213 shares worth $11,877. Overall, the banking giant's Bitcoin ETF exposure reached nearly $65,000.

Together, its stake in the two funds amounted to roughly $30,700.
The bid to increase cryptocurrency exposure caused JPMorgan to boost its MicroStrategy portfolio by 12.5% to 660,693 at the end of Q3, worth $111.39 million.&nbsp;

Goldman Sachs
Another Wall Street giant, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), reported its 13F filing last week.
The bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42010782/goldman-sachs-expands-bitcoin-etf-holdings-to-710-million">disclosed </a>$710 million invested across multiple Bitcoin ETFs, with a stake of 12.7 million shares valued at $461 million in IBIT.&nbsp;
These investments solidified Goldman&#8217;s position as the second-largest holder of IBIT, now the world's biggest Bitcoin investment fund, with assets worth $42.89 billion as of this writing.&nbsp;
Goldman Sachs holds $25.16 million in Ethereum ETFs, split between Grayscale&#8217;s Mini Trust and Fidelity&#8217;s Ethereum Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FETH#BATS">FETH</a>).

Reported Friday, Procaps Faces Nasdaq Delisting Threat Due To Form 20-F Filing Delay, Seeks Hearing And Stay To Avoid Suspension

A prominent Wall Street analyst has reported a milestone for Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Full Self-Driving technology, completing an unassisted journey from Manhattan to Connecticut, marking a notable advancement in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42028323/gary-black-defends-tesla-strategy-amid-clash-with-elon-musk-bulls-we-dont-trade-tesla-we-trim-when-the-price-goes-higher">company&#8217;s autonomous driving capabilities</a>.
What Happened: Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at New Street Research, shared his experience on X, formerly Twitter, stating, &#8220;Last night FSD got me out of deep into Manhattan and drove me back home to Connecticut. Got through a number of challenging and confusing situations with mastery. Not a single intervention. Robotaxi never felt that close ever before.&#8221;
For context, the drive from Manhattan to Connecticut spans approximately 94.7 miles and typically takes up to 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The successful navigation of complex urban environments represents a significant step forward for Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving technology, particularly in challenging city conditions where s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41047267/safety-disaster-tesla-fsd-galaxies-away-from-being-anywhere-close-to-competition-says-bearish-analys">elf-driving systems typically face their greatest tests</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
This development comes as Tesla continues to enhance its FSD technology amid growing competition in the autonomous vehicle sector from companies like Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)-backed Waymo, Baidu (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and Mobileye Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>).

Why It Matters: The achievement is particularly notable given New York City&#8217;s demanding driving environment, known for its dense traffic, complex intersections, and unpredictable pedestrian movements.
Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving progress comes at a crucial time as reports suggest a potential easing of federal regulations for self-driving vehicles, which could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42028797/tesla-soars-over-5-in-overnight-trading-as-trump-administration-reportedly-seeks-to-ease-fsd-norms">accelerate the company&#8217;s robotaxi ambitions</a>.
The stock has shown significant volatility over the past year, trading between $138.80 and $358.64, as investors weigh the company&#8217;s autonomous driving progress against market challenges, including changes to the federal EV tax credit structure.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $320.72 on Friday, gaining 3.07% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up 0.0062%. Year to date, Tesla's stock has risen by 29.10%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Pierre Ferragu Says 'Robotaxi Never Felt That Close Ever Before' After Tesla Drove Through Challenging Roads With No Intervention

Elon Musk has predicted that AI will surpass doctors and lawyers after a study revealed OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT-4 outperformed medical professionals in diagnosing illnesses.
What Happened: A study <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/health/chatgpt-ai-doctors-diagnosis.html">reported</a> by&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;revealed that AI achieved a 90% accuracy rate, compared to 76% for doctors using ChatGPT as a tool and 74% for doctors relying on traditional resources.
Following the publication of the report, Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus.AI, stated that an AI doctor with access to all lab reports would be able to diagnose problems and&nbsp;suggest remedies better than most&nbsp;human doctors.

She added that the same would be true for lawyers and other knowledge-heavy professions.
Musk agreed with Reddy&#8217;s prediction, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;We can&nbsp;serve as a biological backstop&nbsp;for intelligence, as we are&nbsp;less brittle than silicon, and&nbsp;perhaps as a source of&nbsp;will.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Last month, while speaking with Dr. Peter H. Diamandis, founder and executive chairman of the&nbsp;XPRIZE Foundation, Musk predicted that AI could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41618261/elon-musk-predicts-ai-will-match-human-capabilities-in-few-years-the-cup-is-80-full-maybe-90">reach human-level capabilities by 2029</a>.

&#8220;I think, long-term… the ratio of humanoid robots will be more than one-to-one. So, there probably might be two humanoid robots, or more, maybe 10, for every one human,&#8221; he earlier this year.
Earlier, Roman Yampolskiy, an AI safety researcher, also said that Musk&#8217;s company Neuralink, which aims to merge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39138007/elon-musks-neuralink-incredible-technology-can-make-humans-superhuman-says-ai-expert-but-warns-of-fu">human brains with Artificial General Intelligence</a> (AGI), could potentially make humans obsolete.

Elon Musk Says AI Will Surpass Doctors, Lawyers After ChatGPT Tops Medical Diagnoses — Humans Becoming 'Biological' Backups

Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) has reached a major milestone by becoming the first company to deliver a new generation of super-powerful computer systems designed specifically for artificial intelligence.
What Happened: Michael Dell, the company&#8217;s CEO, announced on social media platform X that Dell is shipping its first liquid-cooled PowerEdge XE9712 systems to CoreWeave, a company that provides computing power for AI applications.
&#8220;The AI rocket just got a massive boost!&#8221; Michael Dell in his announcement, highlighted the significance of this achievement.
These new systems, developed in partnership with tech giant NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), are unlike traditional computers. They use special cooling technology that helps them handle the intense processing needed for advanced AI tasks. Think of it as the difference between a regular car engine and a Formula 1 racing engine – both are engines, but one is designed for much more powerful performance.

Why It Matters: The system, called the GB200 NVL72, combines 72 powerful processing chips (GPUs) and 36 central computers (CPUs) working together as one unit. This allows it to run AI programs 30 times faster than previous systems, particularly when handling complex AI tasks like chatbots and image generation.
CoreWeave, the company receiving these first systems, specializes in providing high-powered computing services to businesses working with AI. They work closely with Nvidia, which designed the core technology inside these systems.
This development is particularly important as companies worldwide are racing to build and access more powerful AI computing systems. Industry experts predict high demand for these systems, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39168191/nvidia-maintains-lead-as-key-ai-beneficiary-analyst-boosts-estimates-after-taiwan-e">estimates suggesting 20,000 to 25,000 similar systems could be shipped in 2025</a>.

"As we prepare for the start of COMET-HF, the confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of omecamtiv mecarbil, we look forward to evaluating its potential to reduce the risk of adverse heart failure outcomes across the spectrum of these very high-risk patients failing guideline-directed medical therapy."

On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump picked pro-Starlink Republican Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC.
What Happened: &#8220;Commissioner Carr is a warrior for Free Speech, and has fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans&#8217; Freedoms, and held back our Economy. He will end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America&#8217;s Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America,&#8221; Trump wrote in his statement. 
Carr, a vocal critic of big tech companies, wrote on X that he is &#8220;humbled and noted&#8221; to take on the role.

Carr wrote last week that &#8220;Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others have played central roles in the censorship cartel,&#8221; adding that they must be &#8220;dismantled.&#8221;
Carr currently serves as the senior Republican on the FCC. The FCC is an independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress and regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. 
Jessica Rosenworcel currently serves as the Chairperson of the Commission. 
Why It Matters: Carr is a strong supporter of Musk&#8217;s Starlink. He staunchly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40672229/starlink-ineligible-for-nearly-900m-in-subsidies-says-fcc-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-it-is-flat-out-l">opposed the FCC&#8217;s decision not to offer nearly $900 million in subsidies to Starlink</a> alleging that the FCC had added itself to the growing list of administrative agencies taking action against Musk's businesses following the billionaire's acquisition of Twitter (now X) on the instructions of President Joe Biden. 
Carr also said on Monday that the FCC will stop promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEI) initiatives.
&#8220;The FCC's most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency's second-highest strategic goal. Starting next year, the FCC will end its promotion of DEI,&#8221; he wrote on X. 
Musk is also staunchly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38064076/mark-cuban-vows-to-defend-deis-positive-impact-on-business-because-they-are-opposite-of-elon-musk-an">opposed to DEI programs</a>, terming them &#8220;racist.&#8221; Musk regards preference for certain sections of the population in DEI programs as &#8220;racism&#8221; towards the majority white population.
