Venture capitalist&nbsp;Chamath Palihapitiya&nbsp;deemed gold as the &#8220;only safe trade&#8221; Thursday following reports that quantum computers could crack Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) encryption faster than anticipated.
What Happened: In an X post, Palihapitiya expressed concern about Bitcoin&#8217;s vulnerability to quantum computing and questioned the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s safe haven narrative.
&#8220;If this is even remotely true, combined with everything else happening rn, the only safe trade are hard assets and, dare I say, gold,&#8221; the tech investor said.

Aravind Srininvas, CEO of Perplexity AI, responded, saying, &#8220;Quantum is over hyped right now.&#8221;
A few cryptocurrency enthusiasts accused Palihapitiya of spreading FUD. Quinten Francois asked,&#8221; Do you have some financial interests in spreading it?&#8221;

Chamath Palihapitiya Says This Old-Fashioned Asset Is Among 'Safe' Trades If The Possibility Of Quantum Computing Cracking Bitcoin Is Even 'Remotely True'

Chipmaker Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) better-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">first-quarter earnings</a> resulted in a spike in the stock, but leading analysts and fund managers believe the market&#8217;s reaction didn&#8217;t go far enough.
What Happened: On Thursday, Gene Munster, Managing Partner of Deepwater Asset Management, posted on X expressing his disappointment in the market&#8217;s reaction to Nvidia&#8217;s strong first-quarter performance, amid substantial macroeconomic turmoil and uncertainties.
Munster believes just the company&#8217;s guidance alone should have sparked an 8% to 10% rally in the stock, referring to its $45 billion revenue forecast for the second quarter, despite losing $8 billion in potential sales due to export restrictions.
&#8220;Just based on the guid[ance] (excluding what could be said on the call and the shelf), the stock should be up 8-10%,&#8221; Munster said.

He argues that Wall Street is underestimating Nvidia's forward momentum and failing to properly adjust estimates based on the company's underlying growth, excluding the impact of U.S. export restrictions, which he says &#8220;will only last a year at most.&#8221;
Nvidia posted a 69% year-over-year growth in revenue during its first quarter, but Munster believes it would have been 79%, had it not been for the chip export restrictions to China. Similarly, he says, guidance for second-quarter sales growth would have been 76%, as opposed to 50%, due to the same reason.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Munster points out that the company&#8217;s revenue growth slowed slightly from the prior quarter, but he notes that it did so while operating off a much larger revenue base, which he finds &#8220;impressive.&#8221;
&#8220;That fractional decline of revenue growth quarter over quarter off of a much bigger base is impressive,&#8221; he said, framing it as &#8220;the latest evidence that the company's growth will be higher for longer.&#8221;
Despite these robust figures and fundamentals, the stock rallied a mere 3.25% on Thursday, which Munster finds too muted.
Why It Matters: Munster&#8217;s opinions were echoed by leading Wall Street banks and analysts, with as many as 12 institutions raising their Price Targets for the stock, following its results, as compiled and reported by Walter Bloomberg on X.

Nvidia's Q1 Results Should Have Sparked A Bigger Rally, Says Gene Munster—Deserves An 8-10% Pop, Not Just 3%

A leading Democratic lawmaker launched a probe Thursday into the private dinner held by President Donald Trump for top investors in his Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>)
What Happened:&nbsp;Rep.&nbsp;Jamie Raskin&nbsp;(D-Md.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Trump demanding he disclose the guest list of invitees for the event held last week. Raskin also inquired about the origin&nbsp;of the funds the investors used to&nbsp;purchase the meme coin
&#8220;Publication of this list will also let the American people know who is putting tens of millions of dollars into our President's pocket so we can start to figure out what—beyond virtually worthless memecoins—they are getting in exchange for all this money," Rasking wrote.
The legislator also objected to the presence of foreign individuals at the dinner, including controversial cryptocurrency mogul Justin Sun, the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45367052/trump-memecoin-exclusive-dinner-guest-list-revealed-with-justin-sun-shining-at-the-top-rep"> largest investor</a> in the meme coin.
"Foreign nationals—who are not allowed to donate a dollar to your presidential campaign under federal election laws—are now purchasing access to you by buying millions of dollars of your personal memecoin,&#8221; Raskin alleged.
The White House didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The exclusive dinner was held at Trump&#8217;s private golf club near Washington, D.C., amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45581129/trump-gala-dinner-saw-president-wine-and-dine-top-memecoin-holders-as-protestors-flashed-don-the-con-signs-exclusive">protests and ethical concerns</a>.
Since the dinner&#8217;s announcement last month, there has been a growing uproar. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">Democrats</a>, as well as some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45563302/pro-trump-crypto-enthusiasts-slam-trumps-memecoin-dinner-as-distasteful-and-an-unnecessary-distraction-hes-becoming-a-salesman-in-chief">pro-Trump crypto aficionados</a>, have expressed concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the likelihood that mysterious buyers will obtain access to Trump through such gatherings.
Trump has&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/05/45187462/trump-denies-personal-profit-from-memecoin-venture-i-havent-even-looked" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">refuted claims</a>&nbsp;that he is financially benefiting from the venture. The team behind the meme coin—80% of which is managed by a Trump Organization affiliate—states that TRUMP is neither a political endeavor nor an investment opportunity, but rather a statement of support for Trump&#8217;s principles.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $11.74, down 6.46% 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>.

Jamie Raskin Wants Trump To Disclose His Crypto Dinner Guest List, Says Foreigners Can't Donate Dollar But Are Buying Access To President Through Memecoin

On Wednesday, the legal battle between OpenAI and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk escalated as the ChatGPT maker urged a judge to allow its countersuit to proceed, accusing the billionaire of fraud and media manipulation.
What Happened: In a court filing, OpenAI argued that Musk's motion to dismiss its countersuit has "no grounding in facts" and should be denied, reported Reuters.
The AI firm said its claims of fraudulent business practices under California law should remain part of the upcoming expedited trial.
OpenAI's countersuit, filed in April, alleges that Musk launched a "sham" <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43646042/elon-musks-97-4-billion-openai-takeover-bid-reportedly-not-received-by-chatgpt-parent-another-one-of-his-tactics-says-sam-altman">$97.4 billion takeover bid</a> through a consortium earlier this year, leaking it to the press before presenting it to OpenAI's board in an attempt to generate public attention.

What Happened: Bitcoin plunged below $105,000 overnight while its trading volume rose over 15% from the previous day.
Bitcoin&#8217;s slump pushed the entire market lower, with Ethereum falling below $2,600 and Dogecoin down more than 7%.

Meanwhile, the SEC ended its nearly two-year-long enforcement action against Binance, which alleged that the cryptocurrency exchange had violated securities law and misled customers.
Binance celebrated the legal win, thanking SEC Chair Paul Atkins and President Donald Trump.

Trump Says He Is Having Elon Musk Over At The White House Tomorrow For A Press Conference As Billionaire Exits Government: 'This Will Be His Last Day, But Not Really…'

Trade negotiations between the United States and China have reached an impasse, with both sides awaiting potential involvement from their respective leaders to break the deadlock, according to a report on Thursday.
What Happened: Trade discussions between the United States and China have encountered a slowdown. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated. He described the negotiations as &#8220;a bit stalled.&#8221;
Bessent said that achieving a final agreement might require direct input from President Donald Trump and China&#8217;s President Xi Jinping, reported Reuters.
Two weeks have passed since&nbsp;breakthrough negotiations led by Bessent&nbsp;resulted in a temporary truce&nbsp;in the ongoing trade conflict between the two largest global economies. However, Bessent mentioned to Fox News that progress has been sluggish since then.

Despite the current stall, Bessent remains optimistic, stating that he anticipates further discussions in the upcoming weeks. The involvement of both nations&#8217; leaders is deemed crucial to push the&nbsp;deal over the finish line.
Why It Matters: The recent slowdown in trade talks comes after a series of significant developments in U.S.-China relations. Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">high-level trade discussions</a> resumed in Geneva, marking the first face-to-face negotiations since the imposition of heavy tariffs by both countries. 
Trump described these talks as a &#8220;very good&#8221; meeting, expressing hope for improved Chinese receptiveness to American businesses.
However, Trump dealt a double blow to US-China relations by cutting off China&#8217;s access to key semiconductor design software and announcing plans to aggressively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45664141/trump-administration-to-revoke-visas-of-chinese-students-tied-to-ccp-or-critical-fields-tightens-screening">revoke visas for Chinese students</a>, particularly those in sensitive fields or linked to the Communist Party, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/29/china/china-us-truce-chips-student-visa-intl-hnk">reported</a> CNN.
China recently urged the U.S. to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45664337/china-tells-us-to-entirely-revoke-wrongful-unilateral-tariffs-after-court-blocks-trumps-liberation-day-levies">revoke unilateral tariffs</a> after a U.S. federal court blocked most of Trump&#8217;s extensive tariffs. He Yongqian, a spokeswoman for China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce, called for the U.S. to heed international and domestic voices and withdraw these measures.
Adding to the complexity, a federal appeals court <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45683326/trump-tariffs-temporarily-preserved-as-appeals-court-pauses-lower-ruling">temporarily preserved</a> Trump&#8217;s tariffs, granting a stay on a lower-court ruling that had invalidated a significant portion of them.

Scott Bessent Says US-China Trade Talks At Stalemate, Need Trump And Xi Jinping Touch To Break The Deadlock

Retiring by 40 might sound like a pipe dream—unless you're 23, just hit a scratch-off for six figures, and think the stock market is about to do you a solid.
That's the situation one young man <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MiddleClassFinance/s/C0eO2LnzPG">shared on Reddit's r/MiddleClassFinance subreddit</a> after his fiancée won a $200,000 lottery prize. Post taxes, they're sitting on $137,500—and they already have a plan.
"We're planning on putting roughly $50K into the S&amp;P 500. $20K into some sort of high-yielding savings account or another investment instrument. $10K on silver and gold," he wrote. The rest? A new car, bathroom remodel, dental surgery for their dog, and a little "fun money to enjoy life."
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest before it's too late.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
The goal? "Financial freedom by our 30–40s." And if you've been around personal finance circles, you know the phrase: The first $100,000 is the hardest. Even Charlie Munger famously said, "The first $100,000 is a b&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;, but you gotta do it."
So does that early head start mean they're on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">road to financial independence</a>?
Reddit had opinions. Lots of them.
"Invest it in a low-cost index fund like [Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/voo#NYSE">VOO</a>)] and forget about it," one user advised. "Let your money work for you while you keep working."
Another chimed in saying: "You'd be surprised how fast money can go. $100K is not life-changing unless you put it into VOO or something equivalent and don't touch it until you reach your retirement number."
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.
But others were quick to hit the brakes.
"If they invest $100K for the next 20 years at 10% a year, they'll have about $800K," one wrote. "Not exactly financially free in your early 40s."
Another walked them through a more detailed strategy:
"Open a Fidelity account. Move the $100K. Actually invest it. Set $450/month to VOO. If you live below your means, you may be able to coastFIRE."
But the warnings came just as fast.
"My grandmother passed away. Most of her kids got $100K checks… gone within 2–3 years. They basically lived on it and weren't replacing it."
Some saw the post as grounded. Others saw fantasy. One user questioned if the couple even fit the sub's "middle class" theme, since the original poster is military and said his fiancée doesn't currently work.
"With how young they are, I'd be surprised if they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42173927/how-rich-are-you-find-out-whether-you-rank-as-upper-middle-or-lower-class-based-on-income-and-other-factors">were actually at middle-class income</a>," a commenter said.
Still, whether you think it's wise or wildly optimistic, the idea that $137,000 could launch an early retirement lit a fire. And if there's one thing the internet never scrolls past, it's a 23-year-old casually mapping out financial freedom before most people pay off their student loans.
But let's talk reality.
See Also: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a>
According to <a href="https://www.westernsouthern.com/retirement/how-much-do-i-need-to-retire-at-40">Western &amp; Southern Financial Group</a>, the "golden rule" of early retirement is to have 25 times your annual expenses saved. That's the idea behind the 4% rule: you withdraw 4% of your portfolio each year and it lasts around 30 years.
But if you're retiring at 40? You're aiming to cover 50+ years—and you'll probably need more.
Let's say you expect to live on $50,000 a year. You'd need at least $1.25 million by the time you hit 40. And that's in today's dollars.
Because inflation? It doesn't care about your scratch-off dreams.
At <a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2025/the-consumer-price-index-rose-3-0-percent-from-january-2024-to-january-2025.htm">just a 3% inflation rate</a>, that same $50,000 lifestyle could cost you closer to $90,000 a year by the time you're 60. So when Redditors raised eyebrows, it wasn't just about the car or gold—it was about whether this windfall could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42236322/ebri-study-reveals-58-of-retirees-retire-earlier-than-expected-heres-why">seriously stretch over five decades</a> of "freedom."
That's the question that lingers: is this couple being bold—or just banking too much on beginner's luck?

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Direct Token Sale, No Venture Terms</h2>
World Assets Ltd., a subsidiary of the Worldcoin Foundation, conducted the token sale. According to the Worldcoin Foundation, the token sale involved a direct purchase of WLD tokens at market prices by Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, and Bain Capital Crypto, with "no venture-style lockups or discounts." The foundation said the transaction added over 100 million tokens to the circulating supply.
The foundation clarified that the sale was not structured as a typical venture round but as a direct purchase of liquid tokens at market price, with no discounts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Iris Scans, Identity, And AI Risk</h2>
Worldcoin uses a proof-of-personhood model, where users scan their irises via the Orb in exchange for airdropped WLD tokens. These tokens can then be used within Worldcoin's in-app ecosystem, according to<a href="https://whitepaper.world.org/"> </a>a Worldcoin <a href="https://whitepaper.world.org/">whitepaper</a>.

As of May, the project reported over 26 million users, with 12.5 million having completed Orb-based verification. According to the foundation, the funding supports the World's long-term mission to provide scalable human verification tools in the age of artificial general intelligence. The network is expected to become one of the first self-sustaining protocols, driven in part by protocol fees.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Orb Expansion, AI Risks, And Regulatory Theater</h2>
To meet growing demand, Worldcoin is rapidly scaling its Orb infrastructure across the U.S., with deployments already underway in Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/30/sam-altman-eye-scanning-id.html">CNBC</a> reported.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://world.org/blog/announcements/world-launches-in-the-usa-at-last">company</a> plans to distribute 7,500 Orbs across the country by the end of the year, offering access to biometric verification for over 180 million Americans. A <a href="https://world.org/blog/announcements/world-launches-san-francisco-flagship-in-iconic-union-square">flagship storefront</a> has been launched in San Francisco, and a Texas-based facility will support nationwide Orb production and distribution, including placement in gas stations and convenience stores.
Despite these expansion efforts, Worldcoin faces regulatory pushback in multiple regions. Authorities in Spain, Indonesia, and Kenya have raised concerns over data privacy and biometric compliance, with some halting or investigating the project, <a href="https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/indonesia-sam-altmans-worldcoin-us">CNN</a> reported.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Backers Signal Long-Term Conviction</h2>
Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Crypto were among the earliest backers of Worldcoin, having previously invested in Tools for Humanity—the company developing the project—during a $115 million round led by Blockchain Capital in May 2023, according to <a href="https://news.crunchbase.com/fintech-ecommerce/crypto-web3-venture-tools-for-humanity/">Crunchbase</a>.
Their latest $135 million token purchase at full market price—despite a 90% price decline over the past 14 months—was seen by some as a bold vote of confidence.
"A16z and Bain just bought $135 million of Worldcoin (WLD) at the current market price… a price that is down 90% over the past 14 months. I'm not sure I've ever seen something like that," said Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, in <a href="https://x.com/Matt_Hougan/status/1925383315634503744">a post on X</a>.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Canadian cryptocurrency company VirgoCX is entering a phase of growth and working on providing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stablecoins"> stablecoin solutions</a> for people around the world.
Stablecoin Solutions: In an exclusive interview with Benzinga at Consensus 2025, <a href="https://virgo.co/">VirgoCX </a>CEO Adam Cai shared how his company is growing from offering cryptocurrency trading in Canada to becoming a full-service solution all around the world.
"What we envision is there's a lot of people globally need a stablecoin, either for their trading purposes or for their payment needs," Cai told Benzinga.
The CEO said there are a lot of people who don't have a bank account and others who need stablecoins to trade.
"We want to have a lot of different channels in the world where people can have real-time payments to convert money to stablecoins."
Cai said the company recently launched VirgoPAY, a payment solution that will work with credit cards and local transfers to "reinvent the system."
Currently, global payments can be costly with card payments anywhere from 3% to 5% in fees and also take a long time to process, Cai said.
VirgoPAY wants to make fees around 1% and transfers take a few seconds.
"That's making that use case much easier," Cai said of VirgoPay.
Crypto Wallets: Cai said one of his biggest beliefs for the cryptocurrency sector is that every person on earth should have a crypto wallet five years down the road, if not before.
With Virgo's Wallet V, the company has a self-custody wallet that includes features like multi-chain storage, on-chain crypto swaps and cross-chain swaps.
Cai said in the future, the wallet will be the one stop shop to do everything, including instantly connecting to VirgoPAY.
Cai said the goal is for Virgo's crypto wallet to be the easiest to use.
While some people remain skeptical using crypto wallets, Cai said that they are good to help manage private keys and more people are trusting with reports of banks going bankrupt and governments struggling financially around the world.
"A lot of people are now trusting their own abilities."

In a video posted with that message, O&#8217;Leary elaborated, saying, &#8220;Sometimes you make the deals you don&#8217;t do. I&#8217;m not kidding—there&#8217;s so many deals that I looked at, was tempted to do, and didn&#8217;t. And just waited a year later, and they were zeros.&#8221;
O&#8217;Leary, known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful,&#8221; has invested millions into dozens of companies on the show. While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40557261/the-stupid-idea-that-made-kevin-oleary-a-massive-20x-return-it-was-such-a-crazy-pitch-i-bought-it-an">some bets paid off</a>, like his investment in a meal-kit company, Plated, which later sold for $300 million, not all pitches result in profit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One $500K Mistake Still Stings</h2>
One of his worst deals <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42935505/kevin-olearys-worst-shark-tank-investment-ever-cost-him-500000-because-he-ignored-the-red-flags-the-lesson-is-listen-to-your-gut">cost him $500,000</a>, and it&#8217;s a mistake he still remembers vividly. In a 2022 interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/31/kevin-oleary-worst-shark-tank-investment-ever-lost-half-a-million.html">CNBC</a>, O&#8217;Leary said, &#8220;In my stomach, I didn&#8217;t feel right about it … I ignored it, and it cost me half a million bucks.&#8221;
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
He initially put $250,000 into a telecom startup. A few months later, the founder came back asking for more money. &#8220;My gut said, &#8216;No,'&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;But because I knew the guy and I liked him, and he was a friend, … I gave him another [$250,000].&#8221;
That second round of funding disappeared in just 60 days. O&#8217;Leary never got a dime back.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What He Learned</h2>
That failure wasn't just about the money. It became a turning point in how he approaches investing. &#8220;The lesson is: Listen to your gut, because that is your experience [talking],&#8221; he told CNBC.

O&#8217;Leary also pointed out a common thread in his losing deals: founders who refuse to pivot. &#8220;They can&#8217;t get out of their own way,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They won&#8217;t listen to anybody else.&#8221;
He added that it&#8217;s crucial to find reliable business partners and stick with them once you&#8217;ve made a commitment.
&#8220;You make 10 investments, you get two to three huge hits. And it pays for the other seven [failed investments],&#8221; he explained in the CNBC interview.
But above all, O&#8217;Leary believes the key is knowing when to walk away. As he said on X, &#8220;Don&#8217;t invest in everything. You don&#8217;t have to.&#8221;
