Cathie Wood, the founder of asset management firm&nbsp;Ark Invest, hailed the sharp growth of decentralized finance vis-à-vis centralized finance on Tuesday, calling it a &#8220;financial services revolution.&#8221;
What Happened:&nbsp;The influential investor was responding to an X post by Lorenzo Valiente. Director of Research at Ark Invest, who highlighted &#8220;strong, secular trends&#8221; in DeFi.
Valente pointed out that despite&nbsp;market volatility and macro uncertainty, DeFi&#8217;s share in futures trading has grown from 1.6% to 7% since the fourth quarter of 2022, while its share in spot trading has surged from 7% to 20%.
Even more fascinating was the jump in DeFi&#8217;s share in lending, widening from 15% to over 60%. &#8220;DeFi isn't just surviving — it's scaling,&#8221; Valented said.

Why It Matters:&nbsp; Wood&#8217;s optimism comes at a time when DeFi is making significant strides in the financial sector. 
According to DeFiLlama, the decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges <a href="https://defillama.com/dexs">recorded </a>a volume of $6.82 billion in the last 24 hours, with Uniswap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uni/usd">UNI</a>) and Raydium (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">RAY</a>) being the main drivers. The DEX-to-CEX dominance was over 25%, indicating that decentralized exchanges logged a quarter of the volume compared to centralized exchanges.
Unlike CeFi, the traditional system that relies on banks and governments to control the flow of money, DeFi utilizes peer-to-peer blockchain technology to facilitate transactions, making it possible to avoid intermediaries.
Wood&#8217;s firm, Ark Invest, has been investing in cryptocurrencies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43200287/cathie-wood-was-asked-if-she-would-buy-trump-coin-heres-what-she-said">with its focus on the "Big Three,"</a> namely, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>).

Cathie Wood Calls It 'Financial Services Revolution' After Ark Analyst Highlights DeFi's Dominance Over Traditional Banking System

Hong Kong Post announced on Wednesday it has suspended sea mail services for goods to the United States and will halt air mail services for items containing goods starting April 27, citing &#8220;bullying&#8221; U.S. tariffs.
The postal service warned Hong Kong residents they &#8220;should be prepared to pay exorbitant and unreasonable fees due to the U.S.&#8217;s unreasonable and bullying acts&#8221; when sending items to America, reported Reuters. Document-only postal items will not be affected by the suspension.
&#8220;The U.S. is unreasonable, bullying and imposing tariffs abusively. Hong Kong post will definitely not collect any so-called tariffs on behalf of the U.S.,&#8221; the agency stated.
The move comes after the U.S. government eliminated the &#8220;de minimis&#8221; exemption and increased tariffs on postal items from Hong Kong containing goods, effective May 2. Hong Kong has been subjected to the same tariffs as mainland China, according to U.S. government notices.
The former British colony, traditionally known as a free-trading hub, lost its special status under U.S. law following China&#8217;s implementation of a national security law in 2020, which significantly altered the territory&#8217;s autonomy and prompted increased U.S. economic restrictions.

Hong Kong Post Operator Refuses To Collect Trump Tariffs, Calls US An Unreasonable Bully

Renowned investor Steve Eisman continues to bet big on Artificial Intelligence, unfazed by current valuations in the segment, or tariff-related uncertainties.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Eisman the former Senior Portfolio Manager at Neuberger Berman told CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box&#8221; that he has &#8220;taken some risk down&#8221; from his personal portfolio and is just waiting as he expects volatility to be there for &#8220;quite a while,&#8221; before adding that he wasn&#8217;t &#8220;trying to be a hero&#8221; in this market.
When asked about what was in his portfolio, that he thinks would work well over the next 3 to 5 years, Eisman dropped the names of semiconductor giant Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and private equity firm Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), citing their &#8220;strong long term fundamentals&#8221; and adding that &#8220;if you can stick with them you can make money.&#8221; 
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">Nvidia To Take $5.5 Billion Hit Over China Chip Export Restrictions — But Top Analyst Dan Ives Not Overly Concerned: &#8216;All Part Of The High Game Of Poker&#8217;</a>
However, the former fund manager admitted that he would not even &#8220;hazard a guess on what any stock would do over the next few months,&#8221; because the only variable in this market is President Donald Trump, and he cannot &#8220;handicap that right now.&#8221;
Regarding Nvidia&#8217;s valuations, Eisman states that he is quite convinced that we are in the &#8220;very early innings of the AI revolution&#8221; and that the company&#8217;s &#8220;best days are not behind it.&#8221; While he concedes that the $2.7 trillion company cannot grow at the same pace as it has in the past, he still thinks it is one of the best &#8220;long-term stories out there.&#8221;
Why It Matters: While he has always been bullish on AI, this statement from Eisman comes just a week after he signaled a shift <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38135980/big-short-investor-steve-eisman-steers-clear-of-ai-frenzy-bets-on-concrete-infrastructure-instead">away from the sector</a>, in favor of infrastructure, which he believed was safer compared to the concentrated nature of AI, with only a handful of elite firms at play.
The fund manager who rose to prominence following his &#8220;Big Short&#8221; bet against collateralized debt obligations in the lead-up to the 2008 Financial Crisis has constantly raised concerns about subsequent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38062527/big-short-investor-steve-eisman-fears-bubblicious-stock-market-if-fed-slashes-rates-in-2024">market bubbles</a>, such as during the Fed&#8217;s rate cuts last year, and in January this year, amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36464035/big-short-investor-steve-eisman-raises-red-flag-on-rising-market-optimism-everybody">rising market optimism</a>.

'Big Short' Fame Steve Eisman Says Nvidia's 'Best Days Are Not Behind It' But Trump Is The Wild Card In Current Market

A widely followed cryptocurrency analyst predicted a possible bull run for Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) on Tuesday, following a false break in the dog-themed memecoin&#8217;s trajectory.
What Happened: Trader Tardigrade,&nbsp;an X user known for their bullish outlook on Dogecoin, noticed that the coin has made a false break for the first time since December 2024
&#8220;It&#8217;s staying above the support line for days, confirming the characteristics of a false break,&#8221; the chartist stated. &#8220;A new DOGE bull run could start from this false break.&#8221;
As the term implies, false breakouts trick traders into believing that a trend is shifting, only for the price to reverse swiftly, resulting in significant price movements in the opposite direction. In the above example, Trader Tartigrade emphasized DOGE&#8217;s persistence above the support level at $0.153, causing them to publish a bullish reversal forecast.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The bullish sentiment was echoed in DOGE&#8217;s derivative markets as well. According to Coinglass, about 55% of Binance traders with open DOGE positions were <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">long</a>, suggesting expectations of a rebound.
To the contrary, the Awesome Oscillator, a well-known momentum indicator that compares recent market movements to historic market movements, flashed a &#8220;Sell&#8221; signal for the memecoin, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">according</a> to TradingView. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index, used to spot overbought and oversold conditions, was &#8220;Neutral&#8221; as of this writing.

Why It Matters: The projections came as Dogecoin fell overnight on Tuesday, the decline came amid a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830360/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-match-stock-futures-decline-as-nvidia-faces-pressure-analyst-sees-signs-of-resumption-of-btcs-uptrend">broader correction</a> as the cryptocurrency market followed stock futures that fell as news broke that fresh China chip curbs had been imposed on Nvidia.
Large transactions valued at over $100,000 spiked 41% in the last 24 hours, while the daily active address count rose 35%, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">according</a> to IntoTheBlock.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.1558, down 2.45% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Dogecoin Bull Run Could Start After False Break, Says Chartist Even As Key Indicator Flashes 'Sell' Signal

A top Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029445/trump-names-pro-starlink-fcc-commissioner-brendan-carr-as-chairperson">official</a> has urged European allies to back Starlink, a subsidiary of Elon Musk's SpaceX and U.S. tech over China.
What Happened: Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0a086fc2-1955-4ded-8558-6f9f85a0679d">told</a> the Financial Times that European hesitation over Starlink service is misplaced.
His comments follow concerns raised after Washington threatened to shut off Starlink service in Ukraine. "If you're concerned about Starlink, just wait for the CCP's version, then you'll be really worried," Carr said.
Carr has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029445/trump-names-pro-starlink-fcc-commissioner-brendan-carr-as-chairperson">strong supporter of Musk's Starlink</a>. He staunchly opposed the FCC's decision not to offer nearly $900 million in subsidies to Starlink.
The FCC chair criticized what he described as European "protectionism" and an "anti-American" bias, especially in the regulatory treatment of U.S. companies. He added that Europe needs to choose sides: "It's sort of time for choosing."

Ross Gerber Points Out Ordering EU Goods Under $800 Still Keeps You Tax-Free</a>
U.K.-based telecom firms BT and Virgin Media O2 are currently trialing Starlink's tech, though neither has entered a formal agreement.
Carr also warned that European suppliers like Nokia Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) and Ericsson (NASAQ: ERIC) may face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44705879/trump-tariffs-push-eu-to-hit-23-billion-in-us-exports-including-orange-juice-poulty-and-steel-from-red-states">Trump-era tariffs</a> unless they expand U.S.-based manufacturing.
Nokia previously said that it sees the U.S. as its "second home," with major manufacturing and R&amp;D already based in the country. Ericsson already has a factory in Texas and may expand further, depending on tariffs.
Why It's Important: Last week, reports emerged that the EU and China had agreed to explore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44756940/europe-china-eye-ev-price-pact-to-avert-trump-tariff-escalation-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-pushes-for-zero-eu-tariffs-amid-declining-sales">setting minimum prices</a> for Chinese-made electric vehicles. The talks come against the backdrop of rising global trade tensions following Trump's sweeping new tariffs.
Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO reportedly made a direct appeal to Trump, urging him to reverse the tariffs and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44735140/most-people-dont-have-the-balls-to-do-it-says-mark-cuban-praising-musk-for-going-all-in-with-his-own-money-for-his-startups">instead support the creation</a> of a "free trade zone" between Europe and the U.S.
However, despite Musk's substantial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44679026/elon-musk-made-unsucessful-appeals-to-trump-to-reverse-new-tariffs-as-tesla-likely-to-take-a-hit-report">political donations to Republicans</a> and his advisory relationship with Trump, his efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
Earlier, it was also reported that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44784857/eu-threatens-additional-taxes-on-us-tech-giants-amid-ongoing-tariff-war-we-are-developing-retaliatory-measures-says-von-der-leyen">EU is considering implementing taxes</a> on major U.S. tech firms such as Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and 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 if current tariff discussions with the Trump administration do not lead to a resolution.

Trump-Appointed FCC Chair To Europe: If You're Worried About Elon Musk's Starlink After The Ukraine Threat, 'Just Wait For The CCP's Version…'

Real-world asset-focused coin MANTRA (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/om/usd">OM</a>) topped the cryptocurrency gainers list on Tuesday, recovering marginally from its weekend crash.
What happened: OM soared nearly 28% to become the most successful coin in the market, defying the declines in blue-chip assets such as 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>).
OM's trading volume rose 8.51% to $1.42 billion, making it the fifth most traded cryptocurrency (excluding stablecoins) in the last 24 hours.
The recovery followed MANTRA co-founder John Patrick Mullin&#8217;s assurance that the team would release a post-mortem report explaining the events that led to the coin&#8217;s stunning 90% collapse on Sunday.&nbsp;
"After this post-mortem report is released, we will share additional information on an OM token buyback program as well as an OM supply burn program to reinstall trust in the market and show our commitment to OM/MANTRA in the long term," Mullin added.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

On-chain data revealed large OM transfers by Laser Digital, one of MANTRA's biggest investors, before the crash.&nbsp;
However, the MANTRA team stated that the crash was caused by "reckless liquidations" and had nothing to do with the project.
The crash soured sentiment in the real-world asset tokenization industry, with RWA protocols&#8217; overall market capitalization falling by 6% since Sunday, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/real-world-assets-rwa#key-stats">according </a>to CoinGecko.

OM Token Rallies 28%, Gives Marginal Relief To Crash-Hit Holders After MANTRA Co-founder Assures 'Post-Mortem Report,' Supply Burn

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will take a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">multibillion-dollar hit tied</a> to U.S. export restrictions, but a top analyst says the long-term story remains intact.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Nvidia said it would take a $5.5 billion charge this quarter related to halted shipments of its H20 graphics processing units to China and several other markets.
The announcement comes after the U.S. government informed the company on April 9 that it would now require a license to export those chips.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>, shares of Nvidia fell 6.33% in after-hours trading on Tuesday.

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives weighed in on the development, urging investors to maintain perspective.
"The Nvidia China restriction news that just hit will put pressure on shares and it's a concern…BUT this is all part of the high game of poker going on between U.S. and China," he said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"I am not overly concerned by this news despite the headline," he added. "Nvidia remains caught in the tariff spiderweb between [the] U.S. and China. Street knows this.

Why It's Important: The latest Nvidia licensing mandate seems to mark another escalation in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44806095/as-xi-jinping-urges-vietnam-to-stand-against-unilateral-bullying-trump-labels-the-meeting-a-plan-to-screw-the-united-states-of-america">ongoing trade tensions with China</a>. While President Donald Trump recently held off on imposing reciprocal tariffs on most nations, he increased tariffs specifically targeting China.
In response, China retaliated over the weekend with tariffs as high as 125% on U.S. products.
Earlier, Goldman Sachs warned that a potential U.S.-China decoupling could spark a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44787496/goldman-sachs-warns-25-trillion-sell-off-in-the-extreme-event-of-us-china-decoupling-as-scott-bessent-says-everything-is-on-the-table">massive $2.5 trillion market sell-off</a>.
In February, it was reported that Chinese tech heavyweights Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and ByteDance have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">ramped up their orders</a> for Nvidia's H20 AI chips, driven by soaring demand for AI computing power fueled by the rise of DeepSeek's cost-effective AI models.
The DeepSeek R1 AI model, reportedly developed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43256425/nvidia-says-deepseek-an-illustration-of-how-new-ai-models-can-be-created-while-being-export-control-compliant-amid-600-billion-market-value-plunge">for under $6 million</a>, has outperformed leading U.S. models—including those from OpenAI.
In March, Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">server manufacturer H3C flagged</a> a potential shortage of Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips. The company also warned that supply plans beyond April 20 remain uncertain due to shifting raw material policies, logistical disruptions, and manufacturing difficulties.
Price Action: Nvidia shares are down 18.88% so far this year but have still climbed 30.47% over the past 12 months, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, the company holds a strong growth score of 94.82%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare</a> it with Alibaba, Tencent, and other major players.

Nvidia, ASML, Interactive Brokers, Boeing, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Former President Joe Biden delivered a speech in Chicago on Tuesday, criticizing the Trump administration for its approach to Social Security without naming his successor, Donald Trump.
What Happened: Speaking to about 200 attendees at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled conference, Biden accused the administration of damaging the Social Security Administration by cutting jobs and services, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/15/biden-speech-donald-trump-00292450">reported</a> Politico.
&#8220;They're shooting first and aiming later,&#8221; said Biden. He said this was causing &#8220;a lot of needless pain and sleepless nights.&#8221;
Biden emphasized the importance of Social Security, calling it a &#8220;sacred promise,&#8221; and warned that the administration&#8217;s actions have endangered benefits for millions of seniors. His remarks coincided with the &#8220;Social Security Day of Action,&#8221; a protest against perceived threats to the program.
During the 30-minute speech, Biden shared personal stories from his upbringing and political career, using familiar phrases like &#8220;folks&#8221; and &#8220;I mean it sincerely.&#8221; The event marked his first major public appearance since leaving the White House and was held near a previous campaign fundraiser location.
Despite the White House dismissing his speech as &#8220;embarrassing,&#8221; Biden&#8217;s aides suggest he will continue to engage on issues like Social Security. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) emphasized the importance of Biden&#8217;s involvement in the fight against the administration&#8217;s policies.
The official Social Security X account accused Biden of &#8220;lying to Americans.&#8221; In a post on Tuesday, the Social Security Administration said, &#8220;President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect Social Security and ensure higher-take home pay for seniors by ending taxation on Social Security benefits.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption">In the thread, the administration said that none of the field offices had been closed and half of the technology staff had not been laid off. Attacking Biden further, the administration said that an Inspector General report released while Biden was president found $72 billion in &#8220;improper payments&#8221; from fiscal years 2015 through 2022.</figcaption></figure>

Why It Matters:. Recent political discourse has heightened concerns about social security&#8217;s future. The establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration has sparked anxiety among seniors. DOGE, tasked with cost-cutting, has led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44775706/when-i-hear-our-politicians-say-were-not-gonna-touch-social-security-i-dont-believe-them-seniors-are-worried-about-doge-changes">significant job cuts and reorganization</a> within the federal government.
Additionally, recent updates to Social Security rules, effective April 2025, are reshaping benefits for millions. These changes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44682363/aprils-social-security-changes-how-new-rules-could-affect-your-check">include larger checks</a> and new identification requirements, impacting retirees, survivors, and those on spousal benefits. 
Separately, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has advocated for stricter Medicaid eligibility, emphasizing the need to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44783620/speaker-mike-johnson-says-us-must-eliminate-people-on-medicaid-who-are-not-actually-eligible-to-be-there">remove ineligible individuals</a> from the program. This stance aligns with broader Republican efforts to reduce federal spending while safeguarding entitlement programs for qualified recipients.

Joe Biden Calls Social Security A 'Sacred Promise,' Slams Trump Administration's Efforts To Damage The Program: 'They're Shooting First And Aiming Later'

President Donald Trump plans to appoint Gary Shapley as the acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, according to a report. 
What Happened: Shapley provided whistleblower testimony to Republicans, claiming partisan bias hindered the investigation of President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter Biden. His appointment follows the resignation of the former commissioner, who opposed a data-sharing agreement with the Homeland Security Department. The IRS and the White House have not yet commented on Shapley&#8217;s expected elevation, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/15/politics/acting-irs-commissioner-hunter-biden-whistleblower-gary-shapley/index.html">reported</a> CNN.
A Treasury spokesperson praised Shapely for his &#8220;honesty and devotion,&#8221; and said, &#8220;He'll be a great asset to the IRS as we rethink and reform this crucial organization,&#8221; according to the report.
Shapley&#8217;s rise is notable, as he went public in 2023 with allegations that the Justice Department <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33297231/irs-whistleblowers-accuse-doj-of-interference-in-hunter-biden-probe-the-us-attorney-was-constantly-h">obstructed efforts to investigate</a> Hunter Biden&#8217;s tax issues. Recently, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised Shapley as a truth-seeker capable of reforming the IRS. Shapley would be the fourth person to lead the IRS this year, as Trump&#8217;s pick for full-time commissioner, former Missouri Rep. Billy Long, awaits Senate confirmation.
Some former IRS officials expressed dismay over Shapley&#8217;s potential appointment, with one recently departed senior official reportedly stating, &#8220;Glad I&#8217;m not there anymore,&#8221; indicating potential challenges ahead for the agency.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration has been vocal about its intentions to overhaul the tax system. In March, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick revealed Trump&#8217;s goal to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44295365/trump-wants-no-tax-for-anybody-making-less-than-150000-a-year-says-howard-lutnick-thats-what-im-working-for">eliminate taxes for individuals</a> earning less than $150,000 annually. Moreover, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated that Trump aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44205662/president-trump-wants-to-replace-income-tax-with-tariffs-national-economic-council-director-kevin-hassett-says">replace income tax revenue</a> with tariffs.

Trump To Reportedly Appoint Hunter Biden Whisteblower Gary Shapley As Acting IRS Commissioner: 'He'll Be A Great Asset'

Walmart is rewriting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43162437/walmart-boosts-regional-manager-pay-as-retailers-struggle-to-find-leaders">rules on retail leadership pay</a> — and it's not subtle.
In a sweeping compensation overhaul, the retail giant boosted total potential pay for its market managers to the neighborhood of $620,000 a year, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/walmart-regional-manager-pay-raise-867776ed?mod=latest_headlines">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported in January. That's nearly five times more than the role's former $130,000 base salary — and it's sending a clear message: Walmart wants its top people to think like owners, not just employees.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>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 $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.</li>
</ul>
These market managers aren't your average supervisors. Each one oversees around a dozen stores and the store managers running them. Walmart has roughly 440 market managers across the U.S., and all of them are set to benefit from the upgraded pay structure starting in fiscal year 2026.
The revamped package includes:
<ul>
<li>A base salary jump from $130,000 to $160,000</li>
<li>Stock grants rising from $75,000 to $100,000 annually</li>
<li>A 100% bonus potential, up from 90% before</li>
</ul>
Altogether, top performers can now land in the $420,000 to $620,000 range — with $620,000 sitting at the high end, depending on results.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
CEO John Furner laid out the vision during the <a href="https://qz.com/walmart-600000-pay-boost-store-managers-trump-tariffs-c-1851774345">National Retail Federation's State of Retail &amp; the Consumer 2025 event</a>. He emphasized Walmart's push to get managers thinking and operating like true stakeholders:
"What we did last year was make managers feel like owners," he said. "This includes shareholding, which has positively impacted their approach to the company's profits and losses."
In other words, paychecks now come with real skin in the game.
The strategy reflects a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44226602/walmart-ceo-says-consumers-changing-spending-due-to-inflation-egg-prices-the-money-runs-out-before-the-month-is-gone-people-are-buying-smaller-pack-sizes">bigger shift at Walmart</a>, which has been steadily hiking compensation across the board — from hourly associates now eligible for bonuses up to $1,000, to store managers pulling in over $400,000 with stock options. The company says this is all part of a broader investment in talent and leadership that's been in motion for over a decade.
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Industry analysts see the logic.
These managers are running very big businesses and they are often "serving millions of customers every week," Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData, <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/walmart-raises-market-manager-salary-pay-six-hundred-twenty-thousand/738343/">told Retail Dive</a>. "Walmart needs good people in these roles to deliver on its ambitions and to drive growth."
And judging by Walmart's performance — including $115 billion in U.S. sales and <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/walmart-raises-guidance-boosted-by-strong-revenue-e-commerce-growth/733347/">22% e-commerce growth last quarter</a> — the plan might be working.
For a company that employs <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/askwalmart/how-many-people-work-at-walmart">1.6 million Americans</a>, this pay bump suggests something bigger: if you want your team to think like they own it, pay them like they might.
