Donald Trump&#8216;s Treasury Secretary pick Scott Bessent&nbsp;envisions a significant &#8220;global economic reordering&#8221; and aims to play a role in this transformation.
What Happened:&nbsp;In his first interview since Trump made the announcement, Bessent outlined his policy priorities, focusing on fulfilling tax-cut promises made by&nbsp;Trump. These include making first-term tax reductions permanent and removing&nbsp;taxes on tips, social security benefits, and overtime pay, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/scott-bessent-sees-a-coming-global-economic-reordering-he-wants-to-be-part-of-it-533d6e71">reported</a>&nbsp;on Monday.
Additionally, Bessent, who will be replacing Janet Yellen after Trump&#8217;s induction, plans to implement tariffs and reduce government spending. He emphasized the importance of &#8220;maintaining&nbsp;the status of the dollar&nbsp;as the world's reserve currency.&#8221;
Bessent told WSJ that he believes the president-elect&#8217;s strategy&nbsp;to extend tax cuts and&nbsp;deregulate parts of the U.S.&nbsp;economy could lead to an &#8220;economic lollapalooza.&#8221;
He expressed his desire to contribute to this anticipated economic shift, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;are going to have to&nbsp;have some kind of a&nbsp;grand global economic reordering.&#8221; Bessent argues he has studied these dynamics and is eager to be involved in shaping the future economic landscape.

Why It Matters: The appointment of&nbsp;Bessent&nbsp;as U.S. Treasury Secretary by the President-elect&nbsp;is a strategic move that has drawn significant attention. Bessent, founder of Key Square Group, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42150805/trump-picks-hedge-fund-exec-scott-bessent-as-treasury-secretary-what-president-elects-choice-means-for-americas-economic-future">selected over other notable candidates l</a>ike former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and private equity executive Marc Rowan. Trump praised Bessent as a leading international investor and strategist.
However, not everyone is optimistic about this choice. Economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/42157400/economist-peter-schiff-criticizes-trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-says-he-will-have-to-find-buyers-for-trillions-in-new-debt-each-year-his-job-is-to-continue-the-ponzi">criticized the decision,</a> suggesting that Bessent&#8217;s role would involve managing substantial national debt. Schiff humorously referred to him as the &#8220;Secretary of the Debt&#8221; on social media, highlighting concerns about the financial implications of Trump&#8217;s tax cut promises.

Trump's Treasury Secretary Pick Scott Bessent Says A 'Global Economic Reordering' Is On The Way, Argues President-Elect's Policies Will Lead To An 'Economic Lollapalooza'

A whale investor offloaded millions worth of Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) as the frog-themed cryptocurrency corrected sharply over the weekend.
What Happened: On-chain tracking platform&nbsp;Spot on Chain&nbsp;reported a massive sale of PEPE by a trader with huge cryptocurrency holdings. 
The trader, dubbed &#8220;super whale,&#8221; sold 74.07 billion PEPE, equivalent to $1.53 million, for 448.1 Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) on Sunday. In the last three days, they liquidated a total of 130.2 billion PEPE, amounting to $2.71 million, for 891 Ether.
Despite the massive sale, the whale still holds a staggering 3.241 trillion PEPE, valued at $64.1 million, with a profit of $68.3 million, marking a 12.6X return on investment.

Why It Matters: The sale comes amid a price drop in the third-largest meme coin by market capitalization. PEPE retraced as much as 7.7% since Saturday morning and 8.39% over the week. 
Large transactions by &#8216;whales&#8217; or wealthy traders can significantly impact the market, influencing retail to follow suit and causing price swings.
Interestingly, large transaction volume plunged by more than 50% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/?end_offset=20">according </a>to IntoTheBlock. Moreover, the balances of long-term PEPE holders increased marginally by 0.3%.
The observations from the aforementioned indicators suggested a probable shift in trading strategy from selling to HODLing.
Price Action: At the time of writing, PEPE was trading at $0.00002038, up marginally by 0.80% 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>.&nbsp;

Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) today announced one-year data highlighting the continued outstanding performance of its SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve. The data were presented at PCR London Valves 2024 and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): Cardiovascular Interventions.
An analysis of data from more than 9,000 propensity-matched patients in the STS/ACC TVT Registry1 demonstrated that those who received Edwards' newest generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve experienced outstanding one-year outcomes that continuously surpassed recipients of the earlier generation SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra valves. Patients receiving the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve experienced extremely low mortality, low rates of reintervention, larger effective orifice areas, lower echo-derived gradients across all valve sizes and no paravalvular leak in 84.4% of cases.
"These strong, real-world data continue to demonstrate that patients treated with a SAPIEN valve experience excellent outcomes with rapid recovery and improved quality of life," said Larry Wood, Edwards' corporate vice president and group president, transcatheter aortic valve replacement and surgical structural heart. "These data add to the immense body of evidence with multiple years of follow up on the Edwards SAPIEN valve platform and more than 10 years of clinical experience with the RESILIA tissue."
Patients in the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve cohort, who had an average STS score of 3.6 and average age of 77, experienced meaningful quality of life benefits with a clinically significant average 31-point increase in KCCQ2 score and one-day length of hospital stay with 93% discharged to their homes.
"This is the first large-population study that showed the latest generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve results in improved 1-year survival after TAVR versus prior generation valves, given it reduces mild or greater paravalvular leak," said Gilbert Tang, MD, MSc, MBA, Surgical and Academic Director of the Structural Heart Program for the Mount Sinai Health System and Professor and Vice-Chair of Innovation in Cardiovascular Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "This finding particularly affected low surgical risk patients, where the impact would matter more because of their longer life expectancies."
Dr. Tang is a consultant for Edwards Lifesciences. 1 The STS/ACC TVT Registry is a collaboration between the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC). 2 The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item survey that measures the impact of heart failure on a patient's quality of life, symptoms, and physical function.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s pick for Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, is in the process of forging a multi-billion dollar deal with Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>), the company behind the world&#8217;s largest stablecoin by market capitalization.
What happened: Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services firm led by Lutnick, is planning to launch a program with Tether&#8217;s support that would lend dollars to clients who pledged Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as collateral, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-24/lutnick-s-cantor-in-talks-with-tether-about-bitcoin-lending-program-usdt">to</a> a Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The funding for the program is expected to start at $2 billion, eventually running up to &#8220;tens of billions.&#8221;
Both Cantor and Tether didn&#8217;t immediately return <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request to confirm the report.

Why It Matters: Cantor has been Tether&#8217;s Wall Street banker, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40423424/donald-trump-names-howard-lutnick-to-lead-transition-team-heres-what-it-means-for-crypto">acting as the custodian</a> of billions of dollars of U.S. Treasuries that back the USDT stablecoin.
In the past, Lutnick praised Tether, stating that the company had sufficient reserves.
&#8220;I manage many, many of their assets. From what we've seen, and we did a lot of work, they have the money,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36647873/tether-has-the-money-says-billionaire-ceo-bitcoin-will-grow">said in an interview</a>.
Lutnick&#8217;s support and his elevation to a top cabinet post come amid controversy surrounding Tether, which has been accused of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36644909/from-casinos-to-slaves-un-report-details-tethers-role-in-organized-crime">aiding criminal activities </a>like illegal gambling and money laundering.
A report last month also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41555467/federal-probe-into-tether-examines-potential-sanctions-and-money-laundering-breaches-wsj">pointed toward a federal probe</a> into possible misuse of Tether&#8217;s stablecoin in illegal activities. Tether CEO&nbsp;Paolo Ardoino, however, denied being under any investigation.

Zoom Video Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Elon Musk, Donald Trump&#8216;s pick to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has voiced strong criticism against the F-35 stealth fighter program, advocating for the use of drones over manned jets.
What Happened: On Sunday, Musk shared a video on his social media platform X, featuring synchronized drone swarms, and remarked, "Meanwhile, some idiots are still building manned fighter jets like the F-35.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1860574377013838033?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2024</a></blockquote>

</figure>
The Pentagon&#8217;s joint program office defended the F-35, highlighting its preference among U.S. Services and international partners. A spokesperson emphasized its effectiveness and growing global interest.&nbsp;Lockheed Martin&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), the main contractor, expressed its commitment to collaborating&nbsp;with the new administration and&nbsp;praised the F-35&#8217;s capabilities, Fortune<a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/24/elon-musk-f35-stealth-fighter-drones-pentagon-weapons-doge-lockheed/"> reported</a> on Monday.
Despite Musk&#8217;s criticism, the Pentagon continues to operate&nbsp;a mix of manned and&nbsp;unmanned aircraft. The F-35 program, awarded to Lockheed in 2001, has faced scrutiny for cost overruns and delays. The Defense Department&#8217;s estimate for the program&#8217;s total cost is&nbsp;$1.8 trillion, making it the&nbsp;most expensive in its history.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s recent criticism aligns with his ongoing concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40868796/musk-criticizes-governments-fiscal-policy-says-extreme-government-overspending-is-bankrupting-americ">about government spending</a>. Back in September, Musk criticized the U.S. government&#8217;s fiscal policy, warning that &#8220;extreme government overspending is bankrupting America&#8221; and contributing to inflation. He expressed these concerns on X, highlighting the potential financial risks of unchecked spending.
President-elect Donald Trump appointed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to tackle wasteful spending. However, analysts like Mario Georgiou of InCred Global Wealth U.K. predict only a modest impact, estimating potential savings of $50–100 billion annually, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42131911/donald-trump-appointed-doge-to-have-marginal-impact-saving-50-100-billion-says-analyst-as-elon-musk-aims-to-target-500-billion-plus-in-federal-expenditures">Congressional Budget Office</a>. This figure pales in comparison to the total federal outlays of approximately $6.7 trillion projected for 2024.
Musk&#8217;s critique of the F-35 program is part of a broader conversation about fiscal responsibility and the need to reassess costly government programs.

Trump's DOGE Co-Lead Elon Musk Slams Lockheed Martin's F-35 Fighter Jets, Advocates Drone Warfare As Pentagon Defends $1.8 Trillion Program

El Salvador president Nayib Bukele floated the idea of a &#8220;rent your volcano to mine Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)&#8221; policy in the wake of the country&#8217;s successful geothermal-powered mining venture.
What Happened: On Sunday, Bukele took to X to share the success of El Salvador&#8217;s Bitcoin mining venture. He suggested that, given the nation&#8217;s abundant geothermal power potential, a business policy of renting volcanoes to mine Bitcoin might &#8220;make sense.&#8221; 
Bukele was reacting to another X user&#8217;s post on the country&#8217;s stockpile of 474 Bitcoins mined with geothermal power, which swelled to $46 million due to the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s ongoing bull run.

Why It Matters: El Salvador&#8217;s plan to tap its geothermal power led to the idea of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40330518/nayib-bukeles-bitcoin-city-project-in-el-salvador-attracts-1-6b-investment-from-turkey-bas">ambitious Bitcoin City project</a>. 
The city, located near a volcano, is expected to be powered by geothermal energy, exempting all of its activities, including Bitcoin mining, from all taxes except for the value-added tax. It is&nbsp;planned to be a full-fledged metropolis, complete with residential and commercial areas, restaurants, an airport, and a port and rail service.&nbsp;
To finance the development of the city, El Salvador even introduced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36192059/el-salvadors-volcanic-bitcoin-bond-approval-sets-stage-to-build-a-crypto-city">&#8220;Volcano Bond</a>,&#8221; also called a Bitcoin-backed bond. 
El Salvador, the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender, has been strategically investing in the cryptocurrency under Bukele&#8217;s leadership.
As of this writing, El Salvador <a href="https://bitcoin.gob.sv/">holds </a>5,944.77 Bitcoins in its treasury, worth more than $583 million at current market prices.

WASHINGTON — Lithium prices could rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lithium">by more than 60%</a> to hit $20,000 per metric ton, privately held mining exploration and services company GeoXplore Corp.'s CEO Clive Ashworth said at a mining conference this month.



After reaching a record around $80,000 per metric ton in China in 2022, lithium carbonate prices have profoundly slumped amid tempered expectations for global electric vehicle demand. Recent prices were around $12,500.



That price is too low to sustain mine production and will get to $15,000 to $20,000 per metric ton over the next two years, Ashworth told Benzinga on the sidelines of a recent&nbsp;Benchmark Mineral Intelligence&nbsp;battery metals conference in Washington, D.C. A move from $12,500 to $20,000 would be a 62.5% gain.

In a November 2023 blog post, Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein said he views $20,000 as the marginal cost of production based on all-in sustaining costs.



Low prices are not ideal for producers whose margins shrink as prices decline, or explorers who are less able to secure financing for drilling in lower-price environments.



But low prices aren't all bad for the industry as a whole, as they can lead to a weeding out of weak companies.



"They knock out the chaff," he said.



Ashworth is no stranger to the lithium market. His company has optioned lithium claims in Nevada to&nbsp;Pure Energy Minerals Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEMIF#OTC">PEMIF</a>) and&nbsp;ACME Lithium Inc.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACLHF#OTC">ACLHF</a>).



GeoXplor's business model is to find properties that could be developed into producing mines, lease them and then option the claims to junior mining companies who will carry on more intensive exploration, which could include the use of GeoXplor's services.



That model—which involves getting out to a property with handheld equipment used to evaluate its potential—means the company needs to lease properties that contain minerals that will be in demand in the future.



"As exploration people, we have to get ahead of the commodities," he said.



One commodity Ashworth has his eye on is vanadium. It's often used in stainless steel, but it is also an ingredient in an emerging type of battery technology Ashworth thinks will get traction.



Although there are technologies that will eventually begin competing with lithium in certain applications, Ashworth said he sees the demand for lithium remaining strong for decades.



"Lithium is here to stay, at least for the next 20 or 30 years," he said. "We're in the beginning of a new age here. It's the end of fossil fuels."

EXCLUSIVE: Lithium May Jump More Than 60% As Low Prices 'Knock Out The Chaff,' Industry CEO Says

The world will gain another insight into how is the EV future shaping up on March 30th&nbsp;during the Electric Vehicle &amp; Auto Tech Virtual Online Conference which will be presented by Maxim Group and hosted by M-Vest. The conference will cover a range of aspects of the upcoming all-electric world: from charging solutions and batteries to mining and multiple markets that EVs cover.

<h3>Innovations In EV charging</h3>

This ever-evolving field will be presented by Charge Enterprises (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRGE#NASDAQ">CRGE</a>) who recently entered a strategic&nbsp;collaboration with an intelligent power management company with deep automotive OEM expertise, Eaton. With joined forces, they aim to simplify deployment of EV charging infrastructure solutions for fleets, including projects incorporating renewables and enabling net zero models.
