The Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s (SEC) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">lawsuits against cryptocurrency companies</a> will likely reach settlements once Chair Gary Gensler steps down in January 2025, according to crypto asset manager Pantera&#8216;s chief legal officer Katrina Paglia.
What Happened: Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas on Thursday, Paglia <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-lawsuits-quietly-go-away-after-gensler-steps-down-pantera-clo">said</a>, according to Cointelegraph that while the SEC won&#8217;t completely withdraw its claims, many cases will &#8220;quietly go away&#8221; with defendants paying settlements under &#8220;neither admit nor deny&#8221; terms.
&#8220;The regulator will get to make some level of a statement and get something for the value of time and energy spent,&#8221; Paglia said, noting this would be &#8220;very beneficial&#8221; for resolving the extensive litigation.
The comments come as President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s transition team actively shapes what appears to be a dramatically different approach to crypto regulation.

The billionaire Republican megadonor and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has expressed openness to selling a minority stake in the $65 billion hedge fund he established in 1990.
What Happened: Griffin has previously sold stakes in his ventures. Two years ago, Sequoia Capital acquired a stake in Citadel Securities for $1.15 billion, valuing the market maker at $22 billion. Recently, Citadel Securities received a $5 billion investment offer from a private equity firm, which Griffin mentioned would help the company remain private longer.
In an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/ken-griffin-says-he-s-open-to-selling-minority-stake-in-citadel">interview</a> with&nbsp;Bloomberg on Thursday at the Economic&nbsp;Club of New York, Griffin stated,&nbsp;"We would be open to&nbsp;the possibility of selling a&nbsp;minority stake in Citadel at&nbsp;some point in the future."
Griffin highlighted the challenges of public capital markets, stating,&nbsp;"We need to make being&nbsp;public in the United States&nbsp;a much more attractive proposition."&nbsp;
Despite the offer, Griffin did not confirm acceptance and ruled out taking Citadel Securities public soon. When considering potential partners, Griffin seeks firms similar to Sequoia that can enhance Citadel&#8217;s business operations.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Griffin, a prominent figure in the financial world, has built&nbsp;Citadel&nbsp;into a powerhouse with over $65 billion in assets. As a mega-donor to the Republican Party, he recently voiced concerns over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-policies-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies</a>, warning they could hinder U.S. competitiveness. 
In the past year, Citadel has achieved remarkable financial success, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/12/36365068/show-me-the-money-inside-ken-griffins-citadels-jaw-dropping-7-billion-return">returning $7 billion to clients </a>after a 30% profit surge. Citadel&#8217;s multistrategy fund, Wellington, has gained nearly 15% year-to-date, making it one of the top-performing hedge funds.

Gap, Ross Stores And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Deepwater Asset Management's managing partner Gene Munster has weighed in on the implications of Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41616230/sundar-pichai-admits-doj-proposals-could-have-unintended-consequences-google-mapping-out-plan-b-in-c">regulatory challenges</a>, including the potential divestment of the Chrome browser.
What Happened: On Thursday, in an interview with CNBC, Munster highlighted the potential impact of a Chrome spin-off on Google&#8217;s search market share.
According to Munster, spinning off Chrome could reduce Google&#8217;s dominant 90% search market share in developed regions to approximately 80%.
This shift could significantly affect Google&#8217;s search growth, which has been averaging 10–14% in recent quarters, potentially dropping to low single digits or even negative in the short term.
He said, &#8220;People love Google, and they will slowly come back,&#8221; but the stock is down about 5% because this gets to the &#8220;core of half their business, which is search.&#8221;&nbsp;
Despite these concerns, he believes the likelihood of a Chrome spinout is low, citing a lack of precedent for such a move.

Munster also pointed out that Google's search business forms a significant portion of its revenue and is also a critical pillar for its AI initiatives like Gemini. A drop in search market share could weaken Google's ability to compete with rivals such as ChatGPT-parent OpenAI.
He went on to speak about the interconnectedness of regulatory challenges, noting that the DOJ's scrutiny of Google&#8217;s search deal with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) could further damage the company's search business.
Earlier this year, a lawsuit uncovered that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42083150/googles-20b-search-deal-with-apple-faces-collapse-after-antitrust-ruling-what-it-could-means-for-both-tech-giants?itm_source=parsely-api">Apple received a substantial $20 billion</a> in 2022 to set Google as the default search engine on the Safari browser for iPhones.
For investors, the stakes are high. Munster warned that if such worst-case scenarios unfold, Google's stock could drop another 10–15%.

Why It Matters: The DOJ has been actively pursuing measures to dismantle Google&#8217;s search monopoly, demanding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42105079/googles-unlawful-behavior-stifles-market-entry-for-rivals-doj-says-alphabet-must-sell-chrome-to-end-search-monopoly">Google divest its Chrome browser</a>. This move is part of broader efforts to restore competition in the search market.
The DOJ has also suggested that Google might need to sell its Android operating system if other measures fail.
The impact of these legal actions has been significant, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42119020/alphabet-bleeds-over-120-billion-in-market-value-eyes-worst-day-in-10-months-after-doj-demands-google-chrome-sale">Alphabet&#8217;s market value</a> dropping by over $120 billion on Thursday, marking its steepest decline since January.
In response to the DOJ&#8217;s push, Perplexity AI&#8217;s CEO has also speculated about acquiring Chrome, while OpenAI is considering developing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42130303/chatgpt-parent-openai-considers-building-its-own-web-browser-to-challenge-googles-search-monopoly-following-doj-push-to-break-up-chrome-dominance">own web browser to challenge</a> Google&#8217;s dominance.
Price Action: On Thursday, Alphabet's Class A shares fell 4.74%, closing at $167.63, while Class C shares dropped 4.56%, ending at $169.24. In after-hours trading, Class A shares declined an additional 0.42% to $166.93, and Class C shares decreased 0.38%, closing at $168.59, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) is taking aim at &#8220;gate lice&#8221; &#8211; an industry term for passengers who crowd gates before their boarding group is called &#8211; with new technology being rolled out to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42076876/what-could-trumps-new-dot-pick-mean-for-evs-airlines-railroads">more than 100 U.S. airports during the holiday season</a>.
What Happened: The system, which automatically rejects boarding passes from passengers attempting to board ahead of their assigned group, comes as a welcome relief to airline staff who have long struggled with boarding zone violations.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve heard from our customers that the ability to board with their assigned group is important,&#8221; said Julie Rath, Senior Vice President of Airport Operations, Reservations and Service Recovery at American Airlines. &#8220;The initial positive response from customers and team members has exceeded our expectations.&#8221;
The technology triggers an audible alert if passengers try to board early, allowing gate agents to redirect them to wait for their proper boarding group. 
Following successful trials at airports in Albuquerque, Washington D.C., and Tucson, the expansion will include major facilities such as Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Why It Matters: Flight attendants and gate staff have long identified premature boarding attempts as a significant source of frustration, leading to the informal &#8220;gate lice&#8221; nickname for chronic offenders. The new system aims to eliminate such disruptions while preserving boarding privileges tied to &#8220;AAdvantage&#8221; status and fare class.
The software platform also provides gate agents with real-time data on boarding group sizes and incoming flight connections, consolidating multiple applications into a single interface. For passengers traveling with companions in earlier boarding groups, agents can override the system with a single click.
American Airlines, which operates thousands of daily flights to more than 350 destinations across 60+ countries, plans to extend the technology to its hub airports in the coming months.
Price Action: American Airlines&#8217; stock closed at $14.20 on Tuesday, down 1.80% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up 0.21%. Year-to-date, the stock has gained 5.65%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bath & Body Works Gears Up For Q3 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Thursday tempered down customer expectations of purchasing the company&#8217;s dedicated robotaxi offering &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tesla-cybercab">the Cybercab</a> &#8211; and its humanoid robot called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/optimus">Optimus</a> for about $30,000 each, saying it would be possible only on the &#8220;long-term.&#8221;
What Happened: Production needs to exceed a million a year before the company can sell the two products for about $30,000, Musk said. 
&#8220;We need to reach >1M/year production volumes, but, long-term, yes,&#8221; he wrote in a post on X, without clarifying if he is hinting towards a collective production volume of a million or a million individually for both the products.

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1859656599897506229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 21, 2024</a></blockquote>

Tall Promises: During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June, Musk said that there will be at least&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39246781/elon-musk-thinks-humanoid-robots-will-one-day-exceed-human-population-from-nvidias-project-gr00t-to" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">one humanoid robot</a>&nbsp;for every person in the world in the future, implying a total humanoid robot population of at least 10 billion or more, of which the EV company will have a significant share.
Musk then said that he expects to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37950895/elon-musk-says-cost-of-making-an-optimus-is-half-that-of-manufacturing-a-tesla-ev-despite-complexity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">able to sell Optimus at a price point below $30,000</a> once it reaches high-volume production.
In July, the CEO said that the EV company would have "genuinely useful" humanoid robots in low production for use within its factories next year. The company will "hopefully" increase production for other customers in 2026, he said.
As for the Cybercab, Tesla unveiled the car with no pedals or steering wheel in October. The vehicle, CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;then said, will enter production "before 2027" and be priced below $30,000.
History Of Underdelivering: Musk is known for providing price points that the company cannot deliver. 
During the Cybertruck&#8217;s unveiling in November 2019, Musk presented tentative pricing for the stainless steel truck. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant was projected to begin at $49,900 but is now priced at $79,990 in the U.S.
The top-tier tri-motor all-wheel drive was projected to start at $69,900 but is now priced<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36039263/did-tesla-overpromise-and-underdeliver-with-the-cybertruck"> at a whopping $99,990</a>.
