On Tuesday, Jensen Huang-led Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) applauded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/07/46423852/nvidias-china-chip-deal-signals-new-tailwind-for-chip-and-ai-etfs">Washington's AI strategy</a> after Donald Trump's AI advisor, David Sacks, highlighted the need for U.S. tech to outpace global adversaries by becoming the international standard.
What Happened: Nvidia's Newsroom X handle said, "Washington gets it: Winning the AI race means making the American stack the global standard," while sharing a video of Sacks on CNBC.&nbsp;
In the video, Sacks can be heard saying, "We have to basically export American technology around the world," adding, "We want American technology to be the global standard&#8230; We want data centers across the world to be adopting the American technology stack."
Trump's on AI and crypto czar drew parallels between Silicon Valley&#8217;s success and the nation's AI ambitions, stressing that winning means building the biggest ecosystem globally.

Why It's Important: The remarks came as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46412125/trumps-latest-move-on-ai-and-china-propels-chip-stocks">AI chip stocks soared Tuesday</a>, with Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) among the top gainers.
The rally was driven by major Trump investments in AI and energy infrastructure, particularly in Pennsylvania and reports emerging that the U.S. would ease some chip export restrictions to China.
On Monday, Nvidia also announced that it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46407517/nvidia-resumes-h20-shipments-to-china-as-jensen-huang-meets-trump-beijing-officials-fully-compliant-rtx-pro-aims-to-bridge-ai-cold-war">restart sales</a> of its H20 GPU in China and has introduced a new RTX PRO graphics processor tailored specifically for the Chinese market.
Nvidia's China strategy came under scrutiny after reports came that a Chinese AI firm, DeepSeek, used shell companies to acquire H100 chips while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46397545/nvidias-jensen-huang-china-doesnt-need-us-chips">aiding China's military</a> and intelligence agencies.
The AI chip giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45644145/nvidia-stock-is-bullish-ahead-of-q1-earnings-but-will-h20-chip-woes-dampen-the-party">had to suspend shipments</a> of its China-specific H20 AI chips when the U.S. government ruled that a special license was needed, costing the company an estimated $2.5 billion in first-quarter revenue.
Price Action: Nvidia shares dipped 0.29% in after-hours trading after climbing 4.04% during Tuesday's regular session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Nvidia continues to show strong upward momentum over the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">More detailed performance insights are available here</a>.

Nvidia Says 'Washington Gets It' After Trump's AI Czar David Sacks Says US Has To 'Outcompete' Global Rivals

Leading economists react to June&#8217;s Consumer Price Index report, which showed that inflation was largely in line with expectations, while speculating on what this means for Federal Reserve policy and growing tariff-related pressures.
What Happened: U.S. consumer prices rose 0.3% <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_07152025.htm">in</a> June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday, following a 0.1% increase in May. On an annual basis, the Consumer Price Index climbed 2.9%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 2.7% from the prior year.
University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers had a positive take on the results, posting on X that, &#8220;The absence of bad news is good news,&#8221; while noting that the &#8220;numbers are pretty much in line with expectations.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Latest inflation numbers just dropped. Headline CPI rose 0.3% in May, and has now risen 2.7% over the past year.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian, the former CEO of Pimco, believes the figures would &#8220;undoubtedly intensify the administration&#8217;s pressure on the Federal Reserve to reduce rates,&#8221; but warned that it's &#8220;unlikely to sway most Fed officials given their stated criteria for resuming the rate-cutting cycle.&#8221;

Jason Furman, a Harvard economist and former economic advisor to President Barack Obama, posted on X with a more cautious message. 
Furman noted that while core CPI remains below 3%, key inflation segments are being distorted by tariffs. &#8220;You can see signs of tariffs in these numbers,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That is only likely to grow,&#8221; he says, pointing to unusually high prices in tariff-sensitive categories such as appliances and apparel.
Furman added that &#8220;everything ex-housing is worse for the month of June,&#8221; referring to prices excluding rent, which he sees as a reversal of prior trends. 
He also believes that companies are still working through their &#8220;pre-tariff inventories,&#8221; suggesting that the inflation could get worse going forward.

Why It Matters: While President Donald Trump was quick to react to this news, asking the Fed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46430675/trump-powell-june-inflation-fed-rate-cuts">lower the rates</a>, experts such as Mike Konczal&nbsp;of the Economic Security Project have cautioned, saying that, &#8220;This does not strike me as a good CPI print.&#8221;
Last month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told Congress that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46077396/powell-interest-rates-trump-inflation-tariffs">potential rate cut</a> decisions in 2025 would depend on the tariffs. 
&#8220;Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity,&#8221; Powell told lawmakers, acknowledging risks to both consumer prices and business investment.

Economists On June CPI Numbers: 'The Absence Of Bad News Is Good News' — But Fed 'Unlikely To Sway' On Interest Rates

A consumer‑grade Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GeForce RTX 3090, originally a $1,499 PC gaming graphics card, doubled as a powerful appraisal engine, driving a new AI tool that tags Chinese ceramics and predicts auction prices with roughly 99% accuracy, reveals a Nvidia blog post from Friday.
What Happened: Instead of relying on a costly data‑center cluster, researchers plugged an off‑the‑shelf RTX 3090 into a desktop and trained a vision model on centuries of kiln styles and real sales from Sotheby's and Christie's. The system correctly slotted more than 20 ceramic categories, spanning the Tang dynasty era to modern times, into price bands and even pegged a Ming‑dynasty jar within 30% of its final hammer price.
The RTX 3090 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/09/17344344/nvidia-to-launch-new-line-of-graphics-cards-with-samsung-8nm-process-this-month">launched at $1,499</a> and still lists on Amazon for about $1,400, though used cards can dip lower. Nvidia pitched the 24‑GB card to gamers, yet its tensor cores handle AI workloads that once required specialized hardware.
Independent studies on the image detection model <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-96314-x">echo</a> its high precision in other image‑heavy fields, adding confidence to the results.

Why It Matters: For Nvidia, the project showcases how its consumer GPUs keep finding new professional niches, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/20/09/17351990/nvidia-analysts-ampere-based-gaming-gpus-are-compelling-upgrade">echoing analyst claims</a> from almost 5 years back that RTX cards drive demand well beyond gaming. Small museums and private collectors, often priced out of expert appraisals, could now run sophisticated valuation software without renting cloud servers, reveals Siqi Wu, one of the researchers behind the project, speaking with Nvidia.
Academic journals have <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/14/23/11006">shown</a> machine‑learning models can forecast wider art‑auction outcomes, hinting at an industry primed for data‑driven disruption. With pilots already targeting Cantonese opera costumes and mural conservation, the researchers argue their approach could become a template for heritage sectors worldwide.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings&nbsp;shows that NVDA had a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long term. Its momentum ranking is steady; however, its value ranking was poor.

These developments have boosted MP Materials&#8217; stock, which has been on the rise since the beginning of the week.
Why It Matters: The rare earth sector has been gaining attention due to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46422009/rare-earth-royalty-meet-the-power-players-shaping-the-industry">global competition for critical minerals</a> essential to clean energy, defense, and high-tech industries. MP Materials, a U.S.-based company, has been at the forefront of this sector.
Earlier in the week, MP Materials announced a public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, involving a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46426440/reuters-cites-u-s-defense-official-saying-pentagons-investment-in-mp-materials-will-ensure-a-near-te">multi-billion dollar investment and long-term commitments</a>. This partnership has been seen as a strategic move to secure the U.S.&#8217;s access to critical minerals and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/07/46425896/u-s-moving-fast-to-secure-access-to-critical-minerals-to-counter-chinas-dominance">counter China&#8217;s dominance</a> in the market.
These recent developments have not only boosted MP Materials&#8217; stock but have also had a ripple effect on the domestic critical minerals sector, with companies like USA Rare Earth Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USAR#NASDAQ">USAR</a>) also witnessing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46429330/why-usa-rare-earth-usar-stock-is-skyrocketing-today">surge</a> in their stock value.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency trader Mercury compared Bitcoin's recent breakout above a key resistance level to similar occurrences in 2023 and 2024.
"Those breakouts saw us trade ~50% higher within the next ~2 months. This rally likely still has more legs to it," the analyst said.

Bitcoin Slides Amid Uncertainty On Crypto Bills; Ethereum, Dogecoin Gain: ETH Dominance Needs To 'Convincingly Break' 10% For Bullish Bias, Says Analyst

The Nasdaq 100 reached <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46424889/tech-stocks-hit-new-highs-as-ai-momentum-builds-whats-moving-markets-tuesday">new record highs</a> on Tuesday, surpassing the 23,000 mark, driven by a rally in chipmakers such as Nvidia. Investors were optimistic about Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices resuming certain chip sales to China. 
For the day, however, major indices were mixed with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling nearly 1% to 44,023.29, while the S&amp;P 500 declined 0.4% to 6,243.76. The Nasdaq ended the day higher at 0.2% at 20,677.80.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day.

In the after-hours trading the stock rose 3.5%. The surge followed the announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46414833/mp-materials-stock-surges-on-500-million-partnership-with-apple">long-term partnership</a> with Apple to supply rare earth magnets made from 100% recycled materials, manufactured in the U.S.

The increase was driven by the U.S. government&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46421404/nvidias-h20-china-play-cramers-huge-call-ignites-a-15-billion-ai-bonanza">allow Nvidia&#8217;s H20 AI chips</a> to be shipped to China.

The stock&#8217;s rise was supported by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46413630/chinese-stocks-see-broad-rally-as-us-eases-chip-curbs">easing of U.S. chip curbs</a>, which is expected to benefit Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba.

MP Materials, Nvidia, AMD, Alibaba And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

President Donald Trump announced what he called a &#8220;landmark&#8221; trade agreement with Indonesia, opening up the Southeast Asian giant to American companies, while signing big deals for American aviation and energy companies along the way.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BA stock here.</a>
What Happened: In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump laid out the terms of the deal, which involves Indonesia buying $15 billion worth of U.S. energy and $4.5 billion in agricultural products, alongside 50 Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) jets, &#8220;many of them 777s,&#8221; he says.
At the same time, he says, Indonesia will &#8220;pay a 19% tariff on all goods exported to the U.S.,&#8221; while American exports to the nation will be &#8220;tariff and non-tariff barrier FREE.&#8221;

According to Trump, the new agreement opens up &#8220;Indonesia's ENTIRE MARKET&#8221; with a total population of over 280 million people to U.S. ranchers, farmers, and fishermen for the first time.
The deal also targets China&#8217;s efforts to evade tariffs. &#8220;If there is any transshipment from a higher tariff country, then that tariff will be added on to the tariff that Indonesia is paying,&#8221; he said, without specifically mentioning China. Trump ended by thanking the people of Indonesia for their friendship and commitment to balancing &#8220;our trade deficit.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This comes just weeks after a trade pact was signed with Vietnam, which included a similar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46241070/trumps-vietnam-trade-deal-with-40-tax-on-transshipments-may-result-in-chinese-backlash-say-economists-they-want-inflation">40% tariff on transshipped</a> goods, which again reflects U.S. efforts to isolate Chinese firms from global supply chains. 
Recently, there have been growing concerns regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46290263/is-china-dodging-us-tariffs-direct-exports-to-america-plunge-43-as-vietnam-and-indonesia-see-big-spurts-report">China&#8217;s tariff-dodging</a> efforts, as direct exports to the United States plunged 43% in May, while Vietnam and Indonesia saw big spurts in theirs. There was a 30% spike in Chinese exports routed through Vietnam, and a similar 25% increase via Indonesia.
Price Action: Shares of Boeing were down 0.22% on Tuesday, trading at $230.00, and are down another 0.10% after hours.

Boeing ranks high on Momentum in Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, and has a favorable price trend in the short, medium and long terms, but how does it compare with its biggest competitor Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>)?

Trump Says He's 'Finalized' The Trade Deal With Indonesia, Touts Orders For 50 Boeing Jets — Will China Face Tougher Times Ahead?

On Tuesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) sounded the alarm over a Republican-led push to slash billions in already approved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45766300/trump-sends-congress-9-4-billion-doge-cut-proposal-targeting-npr-pbs-lgbtq-initiatives-and-overseas-cl">federal spending</a>, including funds for public broadcasting programs like Sesame Street and National Public Radio.
What Happened: Warren took to X, formerly Twitter, to criticize the proposed legislation, saying, "Donald Trump wants to GUT already approved funds for public media like Sesame Street, NPR, and your local stations."&nbsp;
"If he gets away with this, next time he'll go after your community's funding for education, housing, climate, you name it," she posted.

Her comments come as Senate Republicans move to pass a $9 billion rescissions package before a Friday deadline. The bill, backed by Trump and already passed by the House, would cancel $1.1 billion earmarked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and around $8 billion in foreign aid, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/15/republican-bill-cut-foreign-aid-public-broadcasting">reported</a> The Guardian.
Why It's Important: The rescissions bill is part of a broader Trump administration strategy to reshape federal spending.
In May, Trump signed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45181825/trump-calls-npr-and-pbs-biased-and-partisan-signs-executive-order-to-stop-funding">executive order cutting off</a> federal funding to NPR and PBS, claiming both outlets publish "biased" and "partisan" news.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration also filed a lawsuit against three Corporation for Public Broadcasting board members, seeking their removal after they refused to step down following the President's attempt to fire them, reported Reuters.

Elizabeth Warren Slams Trump's Plan To 'Gut' Sesame Street Funding — 'If He Gets Away With This, Next Time….'

The House of Representatives called off Tuesday&#8217;s votes on pivotal cryptocurrency bills, citing a procedural failure.
What Happened: A procedural vote intended to advance key cryptocurrency legislation failed, resulting in the suspension of further votes scheduled for Tuesday, as <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/362791/house-scraps-tuesday-votes-on-crypto-bills-after-procedural-failure?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social">reported </a>by&nbsp;The Block. Earlier, the House&nbsp;voted 196 to 223 against&nbsp;proceeding with the&nbsp;voting on three bills scheduled&nbsp;for this week.
No additional votes are anticipated for Tuesday, as per&nbsp;the House Press Gallery website.
The House was poised to examine&nbsp;the GENIUS Act, also known as the stablecoin bill, and&nbsp;the CLARITY Act, &nbsp;known as the crypto market structure bill, during the so-called &#8220;Crypto Week.&#8221; 
The GENIUS Act, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45989307/senate-passes-genius-act-coinbases-brian-armstrong-calls-it-big-milestone-scott-bessent-says-passage-could-drive-stablecoins-into-a-3-7-trillion-market">already passed in the Senate</a>, aims to establish the first regulatory framework for issuers of dollar-pegged stablecoins like Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>). The Clarity Act, on the other hand, proposes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213365/maxine-waters-to-obstruct-cryptocurrency-hearing-plans-shadow-hearing-instead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">split&nbsp;cryptocurrency oversight</a>&nbsp;between the SEC and the CFTC.

Why It Matters: The halt came after President Donald Trump wished everyone a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46424764/trump-wishes-bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-happy-crypto-week-it-is-all-part-of-make-america-great-again">"Happy Crypto Week&#8221;</a> and urged all Republicans to support the GENIUS Act to make the U.S. the undisputed leader in digital assets.
Rep.&nbsp;Maxine Waters&nbsp;(D-Calif.), senior Democrat and ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46412235/i-told-you-so-maxine-waters-predicts-massive-fraud-if-crypto-bills-pass">strong disapproval</a> of the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act. She warned that their passage could lead to massive fraud and repeat past deregulatory mistakes that led to financial crises.

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades on Tuesday, involving major companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>) and NVIDIA Corp.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).

The transactions come amid Tesla&#8217;s recent challenges, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46432467/tesla-stock-slides-amid-executive-departure-intensifying-scrutiny-on-self-driving-tech">including the departure</a> of Troy Jones, VP of sales for North America, and increased scrutiny on its self-driving technology. The company has seen a wave of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46432860/tesla-leaders-take-the-exit-lane-where-have-all-the-execs-gone">high-profile exits</a> recently.

The sale aligns with Ark&#8217;s previous strategy of adjusting its cryptocurrency-related holdings, as seen in their earlier reduction of crypto stocks.

Cathie Wood Doubles Down On Tesla Despite Leadership Exodus, Dumps $22 Million Of Crypto Stocks Amid Bitcoin Buzz

A startup created by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46278447/google-wants-to-hit-net-zero-by-2030-so-it-signed-a-massive-deal-with-a-bill-gates-backed-startup-thats-still-years-away-from-making-energy">Google</a> parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)) is stepping into the broadband spotlight as it goes after a share of the federal government's $42.5 billion Broadband Equity Access and Deployment program. The company, Taara, says in a<a href="https://www.taaraconnect.com/post/bead-light-post"> blog post</a> that its wireless Lightbridge technology can beam high-speed internet over the air, offering an alternative to both fiber and satellite options.
Taara has stated on<a href="https://x.com/TaaraConnect/status/1940415341320122877"> X</a> that it is &#8220;BEAD-ready,&#8221; referencing the initiative backed by the U.S. government. The post followed a major revision to the BEAD rules by the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration<a href="https://www.ntia.gov/press-release/2025/trump-administration-announces-benefit-bargain-bead-program-removes-regulatory-burdens-lowers-costs"> announced</a> in early June, which now encourages technology neutrality rather than prioritizing traditional gigabit fiber. That change gives companies like Taara a chance to compete directly with Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44346192/musks-starlink-says-its-not-taking-over-2-4-billion-faa-contract-but-testing-is-underway">Starlink</a> and T-Mobile's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) 5G Home Internet for funding.

</ul>
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in the announcement that the revised BEAD guidelines reflect a shift toward technology neutrality, aiming to deliver high-speed internet more efficiently and cost-effectively without prioritizing any single approach.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet's Taara Targets the Broadband Dead Zone Starlink Can't Reach</h2>
Taara is led by Mahesh Krishnaswamy, a former Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Google engineer who spun the project out of Alphabet's X moonshot factory after working on its earlier initiative, Loon. He has been focused on bridging global connectivity gaps since his early days in Chennai, India. "Today, there are like 3 billion people still unconnected, and there is a dire need to bring them online," Krishnaswamy told<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/plaintext-google-taara-chip-internet-by-light/"> Wired</a>. His mission, he says, is to find scalable ways to bring high-speed internet to the places the fiber can't reach.
Rather than laying cable underground or relying on orbiting satellites, Taara says it uses devices installed on towers to send internet signals through the air across distances of up to 20 kilometers. The company positions this technology as a solution to the "middle mile" infrastructure gap, which connects the main internet backbone to local delivery systems like fiber or 5G towers.
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
According to Taara, this part of the network is especially crucial in remote and challenging environments, where last-mile connections often remain isolated without an efficient link to the larger grid. "Without it, even the last-mile fiber connections or 5G cell towers remain stranded, unable to reach the broader internet," the company wrote in a LinkedIn<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/taara_with-the-june-27faqhighlighting-that-bead-activity-7346180158548062209-19Cu?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAACFfB9ABrae0tWCn0kxTT-AK_zR_u68I34M"> post</a>.
Alphabet&#8217;s <a href="https://fiber.google.com/blog/2025/04/from-fiber-to-airwaves-what-taaras.html">GFiber</a> says Taara&#8217;s Lightbridge can deliver speeds of up to 20 Gbps with ultra-low latency and no packet loss under clear weather conditions. This was demonstrated during a test in San Francisco with GFiber, which reported performance that matched high-end wired networks and exceeded traditional wireless radio systems.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digicomm Deal Signals Taara's Play for Scaled, High-Speed Wireless Internet</h2>
In May, Taara partnered with Digicomm International, a major telecom equipment supplier, to help deploy its Lightbridge system at scale. Digicomm<a href="https://digicomm.com/press/digicomm-international-and-taara-partner-to-bring-wireless-optical-communications-to-broadband-enterprise-and-municipal-networks/"> announced</a> that it will deliver Taara&#8217;s Lightbridge to broadband providers, businesses, and municipalities seeking fast, high-capacity wireless internet.
Wired describes Taara as a high-speed, earthbound alternative to Starlink, one that's already shown success at events like Coachella and in cities where laying fiber is cost-prohibitive. Whether the federal government will see Lightbridge as a worthy investment remains to be seen, but Alphabet is clearly placing a bet on the future of middle-mile infrastructure.&nbsp;

Elon Musk's Starlink Faces A New Alphabet Rival: This Google-Backed Startup Wants Federal Billions To Beam Internet Through Air

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has called for greater transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, diverging from President Donald Trump&#8217;s stance. Johnson urged Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday to provide clarity on her statements regarding the case.
What Happened: Johnson&#8217;s call for transparency comes in the wake of the Department of Justice&#8217;s decision not to disclose further details about the Epstein case, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5402472-speaker-johnson-pam-bondi-epstein/">reported</a> The Hill. This represents a significant departure from Trump&#8217;s position, who has backed Bondi and urged his followers to let the issue rest.
&#8220;I'm for transparency,&#8221; said Johnson in an interview with The Benny Show, hosted by podcaster Benny Johnson. He said, &#8220;President Trump does as well. I trust him. I mean, he put together a team of his choosing, and they're doing a great job. It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it.&#8221;
Johnson, however, has expressed his support for transparency in a conversation with conservative influencer Benny Johnson. He has also suggested the possibility of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein&#8217;s former girlfriend and convicted trafficker, testifying before Congress and subpoenaing documents from the Department of Justice.
Johnson&#8217;s stance has caused concern among Republicans, as it diverges from Trump&#8217;s line, who has asked&nbsp;his supporters to drop the&nbsp;Epstein matter and praised Bondi&#8217;s handling of the situation.

Why It Matters: Johnson&#8217;s call for transparency comes amidst growing public interest in the Epstein case. Earlier, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">reignited the debate</a> surrounding the Epstein row, expressing his discontentment with the lack of arrests in the case.
Shortly after, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46384692/elon-musk-says-trump-wants-everyone-to-stop-talking-about-epstein-reiterates-demand-that-president-just-release-the-files">Musk criticized Trump</a> for his defense of Bondi, who was under fire over a Department of Justice memo stating there was no evidence Epstein had a &#8220;client list.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s hesitancy to release the Epstein files was highlighted in a recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46409029/trumps-remarks-on-hesitation-to-release-epstein-files-were-omitted-from-initial-2024-fox-interview-you-dont-want-to-affect-peoples-lives-if-its-phony-stuff-in-th">Fox News interview</a>, where he expressed concerns about the potential impact on people's lives if the files contained "phony stuff."

Shares of special purpose acquisition company Cantor Equity Partners I Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEPO#NASDAQ">CEPO</a>) surged into the close on Tuesday following a report that the company is nearing a deal to invest billions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BTC-USD">in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)</a>.
What To Know: According to a Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a4a362a6-cc8b-4188-8658-75183a3d6f5f">report</a>, Cantor Fitzgerald chair Brandon Lutnick is in late-stage talks with Blockstream Capital founder Adam Back to buy more than $3 billion in Bitcoin.
Cantor Equity Partners I, which raised $200 million in cash in an IPO in January, would reportedly have Back contribute more than 30,000 Bitcoin to the blank check company and raise up to $800 million in outside capital as part of a broader deal aimed at accumulating the crypto.
Back and Blockstream would provide the Bitcoin in exchange for shares in the Cantor company, which would be renamed BSTR Holdings. 
Two people briefed on the matter reportedly said that the deal is in the late stages and could be announced as soon as this week.
Lutnick, who is the son of U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, took control of Cantor Fitzgerald in May when his father was confirmed as the top trade official of the Trump administration.
Back is a well-known cryptographer whose work was cited in the Bitcoin white paper. There has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto">speculation</a> that Back could be&nbsp;Satoshi Nakamoto,&nbsp;the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, but he has consistently denied the claims.
CEPO Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/cepo">Cantor Equity Partners I shares</a> closed Tuesday up 22.72% after surging on the news ahead of the bell. The stock was down 1.56% in after-hours, trading at $14.49 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), is offering a compelling vision for the future of digital finance and the role of stablecoins in the global economy.
The Details: In an<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zPYEecf9w"> appearance</a> on CNBC's "Money Movers" on Monday, Allaire highlighted that stablecoins, such as Circle's USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), are rapidly gaining traction as a preferred medium for both retail and institutional transactions. 
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46422009/rare-earth-royalty-meet-the-power-players-shaping-the-industry?utm_source=articleShare">Rare Earth Royalty: Meet The Power Players Shaping The Industry</a>
The Circle CEO described stablecoins as a "major upgrade" to the financial system, highlighting their ability to facilitate instant, low-cost and borderless payments.
Stablecoins are as easy to use as sending an email or a message on WhatsApp, and their adoption is accelerating among households, businesses and even governments, he said. 
"We can imagine a world where, you know, stablecoin money is the primary way that transactions happen on the internet. And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going after," Allaire said.&nbsp;
Allaire pointed to financial giants like Visa, Mastercard and Intercontinental Exchange integrating USDC for cross-border settlements, as well as Shopify and Stripe. He predicted that the market could soar into the trillions in the coming years as major banks and payment providers embrace stablecoins.&nbsp;
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon suggested on the company's earnings call Tuesday that banks may need to collaborate on an interoperable digital solution or risk losing ground to digital finance challengers like Circle.&nbsp;
Allaire said that stablecoins are still in their infancy and Circle is positioned to benefit from the enormous growth potential ahead as the financial world adopts them. 
"This is a moment where it&#8217;s been a long time since you&#8217;ve actually had an upgrade to the financial system, to the very nature of what electronic money is. And digital currency really represents that," the Circle CEO stated.&nbsp;
CRCL Stock: Circle shares ended Tuesday's session down 4.58% at $195.33, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"> Benzinga Pro</a>.

Circle CEO: Stablecoins Are Going Mainstream — Fast

A Missourian earns $26,000 per year after taxes and needs help with navigating three debts. The first debt is a personal loan that has a $1,760 balance. The second debt is one to an internet provider that is around $300. However, this charge is incorrect, and the Missourian has deferred it to another debt collector.&nbsp;
The final debt is a $10,000 auto loan with a three-year plan. The Missourian admits to making mistakes in the past and turned to Reddit for <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1lu8hd8/in_a_financial_hole_what_should_i_tackle_first/">advice on managing the loans</a>. These were some of the suggestions Redditors offered.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work On Your Income</h2>
Although it is important to pay off debt and create a plan, you can only get so far with a low income. Penny pinching eventually reaches its limits, and that's why multiple Redditors suggested that the Missourian boost their income.
A side hustle or part-time job can go a long way in helping the Missourian out of debt. The extra work will eat up more time on their schedule, but having more control over long-term finances is worth the short-term sacrifice.
The Missourian may also pursue a higher-paying career after exploring new income streams. Staying at the same job with the same pay isn't a winning strategy in the long run. Looking for ways to increase income is the best long-term solution for the Missourian.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Start With The Smallest Debt</h2>
Some Redditors suggested the debt snowball strategy to pay off debt. After paying off the internet provider, the Missourian can prioritize the personal loan and wrap up by paying the auto loan.
Knocking out the $300 debt will give the Missourian a small win that can compound into something greater. Paying off this debt also frees the Missourian from the debt collector's phone calls.
The Missourian still has to make minimum monthly payments on the personal loan and the auto loan. However, tackling smaller balances can help the Missourian feel like they are getting on the right track. Given that the Missourian admitted to making financial mistakes, the debt snowball method seems more appropriate than the debt avalanche method.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avoid Making Bad Financial Decisions</h2>
It's good that the Missourian acknowledged past mistakes. Some people refuse to admit or address the mistakes that got them into debt. It can also result in a financial recovery. Paying off debt and saving money can put the individual on a better path toward long-term financial goals.
Unfortunately, some people rebound financially only to fall back into bad habits. Some people pay off credit card debt only to blow through the money all over again. Other people make matters worse. These types of people may take out home equity loans to consolidate credit card debt and then proceed to get deeper into credit card debt.
It's important to acknowledge and correct the bad financial habits that put you in an unfavorable position. That way, when you apply good financial habits and recover, you can preserve your success instead of falling back into bad habits.&nbsp;
