<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn&#39;t be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci has described Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) current price action as part of its typical cycle.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1870118849959399556">X</a> post on Friday, he explained that Bitcoin is purging leveraged, short-term momentum trades, a normal phenomenon in its market evolution.
However, Scaramucci also suggested that some altcoins may have experienced their "last hurrah" and could be done for good.
Meanwhile, crypto entrepreneur JC X <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1870118849959399556">believes</a> human behaviour remains consistent: when Bitcoin surges, investors feel wealthier and take on more risks, often chasing gains in altcoins due to FOMO. This dynamic suggests altcoins may still have another rally in store.
In an interview, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42491094/anthony-scaramucci-upgrades-his-lamborghinibut-not-at-the-cost-of-selling-bitcoin-why-would-i-sell">Scaramucci expressed optimism</a> about Bitcoin&#8217;s future, stating he would never sell his holdings for luxury purchases. He emphasized Bitcoin's potential to attract <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42378636/scaramucci-bitcoin-is-a-volatile-asset-but-ready-for-prime-time-institutional-investing">mainstream institutional investment.</a>

Why It Matters: Cathie Wood of ARK Invest remains bullish on Bitcoin, projecting a price of $1.5 million by 2030, citing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42609380/cathie-wood-says-bitcoin-is-more-scarce-than-gold-predicts-ma-surge-under-trump-2-0">scarcity compared to gold</a>. 
A 10x Research report highlighted macroeconomic challenges, including the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42612972/bitcoins-2025-outlook-suddenly-looks-uncertain-heres-why">signaling a cautious year ahead</a> for traders and investors.
An expert from Foresight Ventures noted that Bitcoin's recent pullback marks its first significant correction since post-election euphoria. 
The analyst stated that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42614273/bitcoin-crashes-10-ethereum-xrp-down-18-dogecoin-craters-28-what-is-going-on">20% corrections are typical</a> in bull markets, serving as consolidations rather than trend reversals.

Anthony Scaramucci: Bitcoin's Moves Are 'Normal,' But Some Altcoins May Have Had Their 'Last Hurrah'

Rumble shares are trading higher after the company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for a strategic investment of $775 million from Tether.

Adrian Alexandru, representing all similarly affected investors, has filed a federal securities class-action lawsuit against Applied Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APLT#NASDAQ">APLT</a>), alleging the company violated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40921732/applied-therapeutics-stock-soars-as-fda-scraps-panel-meeting-for-its-inherited-metabolic-disorder" rel="noreferrer noopener">federal securities laws</a>.
The lawsuit claims that the company provided misleading information about its clinical trials and failed to disclose key adverse facts, causing significant financial losses for shareholders.

The class action covers investors who purchased Applied Therapeutics securities between January 3, 2024, and December 2, 2024.
Central to the lawsuit are claims that the company touted positive results from its Phase 3 INSPIRE trial for govorestat for Galactosemia, without <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42241059/regulatory-setback-for-applied-therapeutics-lead-program-fda-highlights-deficiencies-in-clinical-application" rel="noreferrer noopener">disclosing significant issues</a>. Bloomberg Law published a copy of the lawsuit online.
Allegations <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/AlexandruetalvAppliedTherapeuticsIncetalDocketNo124cv09715SDNYDec?doc_id=X6AM5BLRTI48QBRMPF9SKEGPKV0" rel="noreferrer noopener">include</a> problems with electronic data capture and dosing errors during the dose-escalation phase of the study, which were concealed from investors.
Investor confidence began to erode on November 27, 2024, when Applied Therapeutics received an FDA Complete Response Letter (CRL).
The CRL indicated that the agency could not approve the company's New Drug Application for govorestat in its current form, citing deficiencies in the clinical application.
Following the disclosure, Applied Therapeutics' stock price dropped sharply, which worsened after the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001697532/000095017024132306/aplt-20241202.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">disclosed</a> receiving a warning letter from the FDA on December 2 highlighting unresolved clinical trial issues.
The FDA's warning letter pointed to electronic data capture problems and a dosing error that resulted in lower-than-targeted doses for some patients during the trial's early phase.
While Applied Therapeutics claims to have addressed these issues through detailed records and prior communications with the agency, investors reacted negatively to the revelations, further eroding the stock's value.
The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased shares at artificially inflated prices, alleging that the company's failure to provide accurate and complete information misled the market.
On Friday, Applied Therapeutics named John Johnson as executive chairman and announced that Shoshana Shendelman has stepped down as Chair and CEO. The company named Les Funtleyder, Applied Therapeutics' CFO, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42613049/applied-therapeutics-appoints-john-h-johnson-as-executive-chairman" rel="noreferrer noopener">as the interim CEO</a>.
RBC Capital analyst maintains Applied Therapeutics with a Sector Perform, lowering the price target from $4 to $1.5.
Price Action: APLT stock closed lower by 13.7% to $0.87 on Friday.

These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks.
