i3 Verticals Reaffirms FY25 Guidance: Sees Pro Forma EPS From Continuing Operations Of $1.05-$1.25, Revenue From Continuing Operations Of $243M-$263M

Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX&nbsp;may encounter obstacles in their attempts&nbsp;to block the National Labor Relations&nbsp;Board or NLRB cases.
What Happened: On Monday, a panel of U.S. judges suggested that both companies might have prematurely brought their challenges to the NLRB&#8217;s structure to&nbsp;the 5th U.S. Circuit Court&nbsp;of Appeals, reported Reuters.
The panel&nbsp;questioned whether Amazon and SpaceX&nbsp;should have allowed more time for Texas judges&nbsp;to rule before filing appeals.
The legal challenges, if successful, could potentially weaken the NLRB&#8217;s powers. Even if they fail, some have already managed to indefinitely delay NLRB cases.

Amazon and SpaceX are separately trying to block NLRB&nbsp;cases accusing them of illegal&nbsp;labor practices.
Amazon is fighting a case related to its first-ever union at a warehouse in New York City. SpaceX is facing accusations of firing engineers who criticized Musk — a claim the company denies.
Amazon and SpaceX argue that&nbsp;federal judges in Texas &#8220;effectively&nbsp;denied&#8221; their petitions to block&nbsp;NLRB cases&nbsp;by not ruling on them&nbsp;promptly. However, the judges in both cases&nbsp;ruled that the lawsuits did&nbsp;not belong in Texas.

Why It Matters: This development follows a series of legal disputes involving the NLRB and major corporations.

Earlier this year,&nbsp;Amazon argued that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37191759/jeff-bezos-amazon-joins-spacex-and-trader-joes-in-slamming-nlrb-amid-labor-union-dispute">NLRB was unconstitutional</a>&nbsp;in response to a case accusing the company of unlawfully retaliating against workers who voted to unionize.
In October, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41171072/amazon-accused-of-union-busting-after-drivers-unionize-nlrb-files-complaint">NLRB charged Amazon</a>&nbsp;for failing to acknowledge and bargain with the Teamsters Union.
In SpaceX&#8217;s case, NLRB alleged that the company violated federal labor laws by firing employees who, in June 2022, circulated a letter criticizing Musk's controversial tweets and calling him a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36484393/spacex-wrongfully-fired-employees-who-called-elon-musk-distraction-and-embarrassment-us-labor-agency">distraction and embarrassment</a>.&#8221;
Price Action: Amazon shares closed Monday's session down 0.45% at $201.70. In after-hours trading, the stock gained slightly, reaching $201.89 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Asset management firm&nbsp;Ark Invest recently expressed a bullish view on the future of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and its potential impact on the broader digital assets industry.
What Happened: In the weekly newsletter shared Monday, the Cathie Wood-led firm Ark Invest spoke about Tether&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) latest move into the RWA tokenization space. 
Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer, launched Hadron, a platform that enables users to tokenize virtually anything, from commodities and corporate equity to government debt and corporate bonds.
Ark Invest believed that the launch of Hadron signaled a growing appetite for tokenization, which was still a very nascent industry. The total value of tokenized RWAs was only $11 billion, a minuscule percentage of the ~$500 trillion total addressable market.
&#8220;In our view, Tether is extremely well positioned to be a leader in this space, as RWAs represent a natural extension of its core business—tying digital assets to fiat currencies,&#8221; the firm noted.

RWAs are physical or off-chain assets, such as real estate, commodities, art, and financial instruments like bonds or equities, that can be represented digitally, or tokenized, on public blockchains.
Tokenization allows users to trade digital representations of assets, making them more liquid and, because of blockchain technology, more transparent.
Why It Matters: For the curious, RWAs are physical or off-chain assets, such as real estate, commodities, art, and financial instruments like bonds or equities, that can be represented digitally, or tokenized, on public blockchains.
Tokenization allows users to trade digital representations of assets, making them more liquid and, because of the immutable-nature of blockchain technology, more transparent.
The world's largest asset manager, BlackRock entered the sector with the introduction of its tokenized U.S. Treasury product, BUIDL, built atop Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), earlier this year. As of this writing, it boasted of a market capitalization of $541.79 million, <a href="https://app.rwa.xyz/assets/BUIDL">according </a>to RWA market tracker Rwa.xyz.
According to Prophecy Market Insights, the real estate tokenization market was valued at&nbsp;$3.8 billion&nbsp;in 2024 and is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prophecymarketinsights.com/market_insight/Global-Real-Estate-Tokenization-Market-4857" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected&nbsp;</a>to reach $26 billion by 2034 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.90%.

Cathie Wood's Ark Bullish On $500T Tokenization Market As Tether Enters Race

In a recent episode of the &#8220;All-In Podcast,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42025179/chamath-palihapitiya-regrets-this-3-or-4-billion-crypto-mistake-as-bitcoin-rises-above-90000-would-have-made-a-lot-more-money">Chamath Palihapitiya expressed </a>skepticism about a potential boom in mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) for the year 2025. He suggests that the market will remain restrained, contrary to popular expectations.
What Happened: During the discussion, Palihapitiya highlighted, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s going to still be pretty subdued,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think that you&#8217;re going to see these crazy M&amp;A deals that I think everybody is expecting. I also don&#8217;t anticipate a lot of these big companies going public, at least in the first half of the year.&#8221;
He attributes this to the prevailing interest rates, which he argues are not conducive for companies that missed the opportunity to go public when rates were more favorable.
Palihapitiya further elaborated on the current economic conditions, noting that high interest rates make it challenging to execute substantial M&amp;A deals or IPOs. He emphasized that successful M&amp;A should be driven by industrial logic rather than regulatory uncertainties.

Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders&nbsp;Say</a>
Additionally, Palihapitiya pointed out the appeal of risk-free returns, with figures like Warren Buffett investing heavily in T-bills, making large IPOs less attractive compared to the uncertain stock market.
Why It Matters: The anticipation of a surge in M&amp;A activity has been a topic of discussion, especially with the potential policy shifts under the upcoming Trump administration. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">analysts</a>, the Republican control of Congress could lead to a more favorable environment for deal-making. This includes the possibility of removing Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, known for her aggressive antitrust stance, which has been a significant barrier to M&amp;A activity.
Furthermore, Jim Cramer expressed optimism <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41805370/jim-cramer-hopes-m-a-to-come-back-bigly-under-trump-administration">about a resurgence in M&amp;A</a> under the Trump administration, predicting a more lenient approach to M&amp;A approvals. He highlighted the potential benefits for the regional banking sector, which could see growth through acquisitions or mergers to form larger entities.

What's Going On With Mullen Automotive Stock Monday?

Netflix Inc. (NFLX) stock rallied Monday following the streaming giant&#8217;s record-breaking boxing event featuring Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, despite technical difficulties that plagued some viewers during the live broadcast.
What Happened: Gary Black, Managing Partner of The Future Fund LLC, wrote on X, &#8220;One could have made a lot of money scooping up Netflix this morning below $815,&#8221; noting that the stock finished at $848. He emphasized that the technical glitches were &#8220;easy fixes&#8221; and suggested the impressive viewership of 60 million could signal stronger subscriber growth in the fourth quarter.
The streaming platform&#8217;s capacity to manage high-traffic live events is being closely evaluated as Netflix gears up for its next major live programming challenge: two exclusive NFL games on Christmas Day.

Netflix Stock Soars Amid Tyson-Paul Boxing Stream Stutters; Analyst Gary Black Says Viewership Signals Q4 Subscriber Growth

At 33, Tiffany Grant decided to leave North Carolina and start over in Negril, Jamaica. "I feel like I have a better chance of longevity here," she shared in CNBC Make It. What's unfolded since her move is a story of healing, happiness and a completely different way of living.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cd-valet-growth">CD Popularity Soars: Over 50 Million Americans Embrace Safe Savings with 5–10% Annual Growth</a></li>
</ul>
Before relocating, Grant was dealing with the all-too-common struggles of life in the U.S. According to the CDC, nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, often fueled by processed foods, sedentary habits and chronic stress. Grant was no exception​.
Jamaica, emphasizing fresh, Whole Foods and active living, has changed all that for her. She now eats local fruits, vegetables and freshly caught fish, steering clear of the ultra-processed foods that comprise about 60% of the average American's diet​. "The food here is fantastic, especially the produce," she said, noting how affordable it is, too.
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
Walking has also become second nature. Most of her trips in North Carolina were by car, but in Jamaica, walking is a way of life. Whether it's hiking up Negril's hills or strolling to the market, Grant stays active in ways that feel effortless.&nbsp;
"I walk much more now since I got here and I'll stroll to the store most days," she said. Experts back this up – just 20-30 minutes of walking daily can reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 30%, according to Harvard Health​.
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can still get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for with $1,000 for just $0.25/share</a>
The financial difference has been a game-changer too. In the U.S., her monthly expenses hit around $3,000. In Negril, she's living comfortably for closer to $1,900. Rent, in particular, is significantly cheaper.&nbsp;
While the average one-bedroom in the U.S. costs $1,713 as cited by Unbiased, similar accommodations in Jamaica go for about $648 in the city center and $340 outside the city center, according to Numbeo.

But what stands out for her is the sense of community. Despite living there for years, she barely knew her neighbors in North Carolina. In Jamaica, she's surrounded by warmth and connection.&nbsp;
Neighbors come together for domino games or outdoor cooking and there's always someone to share a laugh with. "It's completely different here," she said. Studies show that strong social connections can increase life expectancy by up to 50% and Grant feels this shift deeply​.

This 33-Year-Old Left The U.S. For A Life Minutes From The Ocean In Jamaica: 'I Feel Like I Have A Better Chance Of Longevity Here'

A Washington State University economics professor has cast doubt on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">effectiveness of the newly proposed</a> Department of Government Efficiency named after cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) in addressing the federal deficit, highlighting data showing most government spending goes to entitlement programs rather than bureaucratic salaries.
What Happened: Christopher Clarke, assistant professor at WSU&#8217;s School of Economic Sciences, pointed to long-term federal employment trends showing the proportion of federal workers in the labor force has actually decreased from 4.3% in 1968 to 1.9% today, despite population growth.
&#8220;The number of federal government employees has remained roughly the same for over 60 years,&#8221; Clarke stated in a detailed analysis <a href="https://x.com/EconChrisClarke/status/1858636305644875887">posted</a> on X. He emphasized that non-discretionary spending, including Social Security ($1.3 trillion), Medicare ($800 billion), and other safety net programs, comprises the bulk of government expenditures.
The analysis comes in response to President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement of DOGE, to be led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. The department aims to restructure federal agencies and reduce government spending by Jul 4, 2026.

Why It Matters: Clarke referenced existing efficiency efforts through the Government Accountability Office (GAO), noting that since 2011, they have identified $660 billion worth of improvements, averaging $47 billion annually – approximately 3% of the current $1.7 trillion deficit.
&#8220;While I&#8217;m hopeful for improvements, most government spending goes to entitlements, not the salaries of bureaucrats,&#8221; Clarke concluded. He suggests only two viable solutions exist: &#8220;return taxes to 90&#8217;s level or cut spending on the elderly and poor.&#8221;
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41961161/musk-ramaswamy-headed-doge-department-will-be-an-incredibly-challenging-endeavor-says-ted-cruzshares-this-piece-of-advice">cautious optimism about the initiative</a> but warned about the challenges of applying private sector efficiency methods to government operations.

Economics Professor Doubts Impact Of Dogecoin-Inspired, Elon Musk-Led Department On Federal Deficit, Cites This As Major Concern

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been appointed as a co-chair of the transition team&nbsp;for San Francisco&#8217;s newly elected&nbsp;mayor, Daniel Lurie.
What Happened: Altman, a significant contributor to Democratic campaigns, will advise Lurie on key issues such as drug use and homelessness in the city.
The other co-chairs of the team include local government and nonprofit alumni,&nbsp;Ned Segal,&nbsp;Lurie&#8217;s campaign co-chair, and Twitter&#8217;s&nbsp;former CFO, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-tapped-san-francisco-mayor-daniel-lurie-transition-team-2024-11">reported</a> Business Insider.
Altman expressed his excitement to assist the city where OpenAI was founded, as it embarks on a new chapter with Mayor-elect Lurie.
&#8220;I&#8217;m excited to help the city I love, and where OpenAI was started, as it begins its next chapter with Mayor-elect Lurie stepping into his new role,&#8221; the OpenAI CEO stated.

San Francisco&#8217;s campaign finance database shows that Altman contributed $500 to current Mayor London Breed&#8217;s campaign in 2018, the report noted.
Lurie, who positioned himself as a moderate Democrat and a &#8220;political outsider,&#8221; won the election against incumbent mayor London Breed.
He received substantial support from&nbsp;the Silicon Valley tech community,&nbsp;including six-figure donations from WhatsApp&nbsp;cofounder Jan Koum and investors&nbsp;Jonathan Gans and Oleg Nodelman.
Lurie said, &#8220;I look forward to leaning on them in the days to come,&#8221; to tackle key challenges, including public safety, the behavioral health crisis, housing, and streamlining bureaucracy to make City Hall work for everyone.

Why It Matters: Altman is not the only tech leader who has approached politics this year with a more hands-on approach.
Earlier this month, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was appointed to lead President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency">DOGE</a>), alongside pharma entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
The department will assist the administration with budget reductions and restructuring efforts.
Last month, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) backed OpenAI&#8217;s valuation soared to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">$157 billion following a funding</a> round. Microsoft has invested almost $14 billion in OpenAI since 2019.
Prior to that, it was reported that OpenAI, which started as a nonprofit in 2015, could transition to a for-profit model.
The new structure could grant Altman 7% equity in the company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41043358/sam-altman-poised-for-10-5b-payday-as-openai-transitions-to-for-profit-model-with-150b-valuation-on">potentially worth $10.5 billion</a> if the company&#8217;s valuation goes as high as $150 billion.

Sam Altman Co-Chairs San Francisco Mayor's Transition Team As Daniel Lurie Prepares To Tackles Key City Challenges

Hedera (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hbar/usd">HBAR</a>) soared to the top of the daily gainers list Monday as blue-chip cryptocurrencies traded flat.
What happened: HBAR, the native coin of the Hedera Hashgraph network, rallied 35% in the last 24 hours to hit a seven-month high.
The cryptocurrency's trading volume more than tripled in the last 24 hours to $3.50 billion, suggesting heightened buying pressure. 
The upsurge dwarfed gains made by Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), as both market heavyweights were up just 1.02% and 1.39%, respectively. 
With gains of over 160%, HBAR was the third-best-performing token over the last week.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41873427/shiba-inu-lead-developer-shytoshi-kusama-pitches-s-h-i-b-in-response-to-elon-musks-call-for-new-roles-recommendations-in-trump-administration">Shiba Inu Lead Developer Shytoshi Kusama Pitches S.H.I.B In Response To Elon Musk&#8217;s Call For New Roles Recommendations In Trump Administration</a>
The rally came as odds of Brian Brooks, an HBAR Foundation board member, being named President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s pick for SEC Chair <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxsecchair/next-sec-chair">increased </a>dramatically on prediction platform Kalshi.&nbsp;
Brooks' odds leapfrogged from 8.6% 24 hours ago to 43% as of this writing.&nbsp;
Another likely bullish catalyst was cryptocurrency asset trading and management firm Canary Capital <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42011875/solana-ripple-litecoin-etfs-may-be-on-the-table-under-trump-administration-industry-experts-think">filing </a>for an HBAR exchange-traded fund (ETF), potentially driving mainstream adoption of the coin.
For the uninitiated, Hedera is a public blockchain network, allowing for the development of decentralized applications on top of it. HBAR lies at the center of the network, helping secure it through staking. 
The coin has a market capitalization of $5.70 billion, with a circulating supply of 37.69 billion.
Price Action: At the time of writing, HBAR was trading at $0.1497, up 35% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump SEC Pick Speculation Sends This Altcoin Soaring Past Bitcoin And Ethereum In Daily Gains

Verily, the life sciences subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), has set a deadline to sever its ties with Google by December. This move is seen as a crucial step towards Verily&#8217;s goal of becoming an independent company.
What Happened: Verily has set a deadline of Dec 16 to cut ties with Google, as per internal documents, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/verily-has-a-december-deadline-to-cut-important-ties-with-google-leaked-documents-show/articleshow/115431375.cms">reported</a> Business Insider citing sources familiar with the matter. This includes severing connections to Google&#8217;s cloud infrastructure and employee benefits.
Despite the separation, Verily will remain a part of Alphabet. However, the company&#8217;s leadership has emphasized the necessity of these efforts for Verily to eventually operate as an entirely independent entity.
Verily&#8217;s transition from Google&#8217;s infrastructure is being driven by its secret Flywheel project, which was first reported by Business Insider in 2021. This project is considered a crucial stepping stone towards Verily&#8217;s independence.
Employees have already been issued new laptops, office badges, and email addresses that are no longer aliases of the Google email domain. They will also lose access to Google&#8217;s employee benefits by the end of December, receiving new benefits fully dictated by Verily.

Why It Matters: The move to separate Verily from Google comes at a time when the tech giant is facing increased regulatory scrutiny. The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42053249/google-could-lose-chrome-browser-in-dojs-latest-antitrust-move">preparing to request a court order</a> that would force Google to divest its Chrome browser, following a ruling in August that found Google guilty of illegally monopolizing the search market.
Despite these challenges, Alphabet has been making significant strides in its AI technology. The company recently announced that its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42042074/googles-gemini-app-brings-free-flowing-ai-to-apple-iphone">AI assistant, Gemini</a>, is now available for download on Apple Inc.&#8216;s iPhone as an app, offering a &#8220;free-flowing conversation&#8221; feature.
