The stablecoin sector has witnessed a significant expansion since the beginning of July, coinciding with the overall upswing in the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: In an X post on Wednesday,&nbsp;Ki Young Ju, CEO of on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant, noted that stablecoins have been flowing into the market since early July, reaching an all-time high last week. He highlighted that Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>), the world&#8217;s largest stablecoin by market cap, accounted for 70% of the total share. 
Previous instances of USDT market growth were followed by notable rallies in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). Though not significant yet, the analyst acknowledged that the upward trend in stablecoins is noteworthy.

In a note <a href="https://decrypt.co/240299/bitcoin-gains-held-back-stablecoin-liquidity-cryptoquant">shared </a>with Decrypt, CryptoQuant noted that stablecoin liquidity needs to expand further, especially from USDT, to justify a continued increase in Bitcoin&#8217;s price.

Why It Matters: As is well known, stablecoins allow traders to preserve their fiat value without cashing out. Due to this, they are the preferred way for traders, especially on non-fiat cryptocurrency exchanges, to enter and exit trades. 
Spikes in stablecoin market cap could therefore be interpreted as bullish signals, as investors are likely using them to buy other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. 
As of this writing, more than $165 billion worth of stablecoins are in circulation, with most major ones pegged to $1. 
Price Action: At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $64,783.01, following a 0.57% dip in the last 24 hours, according to data&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;The market has rallied sharply since pro-cryptocurrency presidential candidate Donald Trump escaped an attempt on his life.

Figma Inc., a San Francisco-based design startup, has secured a $12.5 billion valuation in a deal that involved investment from a group of prominent firms.
What Happened: The investment group includes Coatue Management, Alkeon Capital Management, and General Catalyst Partners, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-17/coatue-general-catalyst-back-figma-at-12-5-billion-valuation">reported</a> Bloomberg on Thursday citing people with knowledge of the matter.
This investment has come through a secondary share sale, which has been finalized. The deal also involved current and former employees, as well as other equity holders.
Figma, which is currently generating over $700 million in annual recurring revenue, is expected to exceed $1 billion by next year. The annual recurring revenue was approximately $400 million in late 2022.
Figma did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

What Happened: Foundation series Cyberbeast customers will receive the overhead light bar first, Awasthi confirmed to a Tesla enthusiast on Wednesday on social media platform X. Awasthi is the Cybertruck Vehicle Program Manager at Tesla.

The lightbar will light up the top end of the vehicle&#8217;s windshield, reemphasizing its angular design. It is designed for off-road use and ought to be retrofitted. 
The company already has several accessories, including products on its online shop, dedicated to the Cybertruck. Earlier this week, Tesla launched a $300 tailgate shield and $100 jumpseats <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39813540/tesla-introduces-new-accessories-for-cybertruck-300-tailgate-shield-and-100-jumpseats">on its shop for the Cybertruck. </a>
Why It Matters: Two variants of the Cybertruck are currently available, namely the all-wheel drive version starting at $79,990 and the higher-end Cyberbeast version starting at an estimated $99,990. A cheaper rear-wheel drive will be available starting in 2025 priced at an estimated $60,990 and with a lower range of about 250 miles. 
The Foundation series, meanwhile, refers to the first few Cybertrucks manufactured by the company.&nbsp;It is unclear as to how many Foundation series units Tesla intends to manufacture. However, in late June, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39590408/tesla-to-deliver-foundation-series-cybertrucks-through-late-2024-due-to-continued-high-demand-contra">sent a mail to</a> Cybertruck reservation holders that the company intends to deliver only the Foundation series Cybertrucks through late 2024, owing to &#8220;continued high demand.&#8221;
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in late November. During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in early June, Musk said that the company has touched a weekly production record of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36039263/did-tesla-overpromise-and-underdeliver-with-the-cybertruck" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,300 Cybertrucks</a>. The company is now ramping production further to touch 2,500 units per week by the end of the year with the aim to deliver 250,000 Cybertrucks a year starting in 2025.

Tesla Executive Assures Cybertruck Light Bar Coming 'Soon' For Foundation Series Cyberbeast Customers

China has decided to suspend talks with the U.S. on arms control and nuclear proliferation. The decision comes in response to the U.S.&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38809049/us-and-taiwan-engage-in-covert-joint-naval-exercises-amid-rising-threats-from-xi-jinpings-army-repor">continued arms sales</a> to Taiwan, a move that China strongly opposes.
What Happened: China&#8217;s foreign ministry announced on Wednesday that it would be suspending talks with the U.S. on arms control and nuclear proliferation. This decision was made in protest against the U.S.&#8217; ongoing arms sales to Taiwan, an island that China considers its territory, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/17/china-suspends-arms-talks-over-us-weapons-sales-to-taiwan">reported</a> The Guardian.
The U.S., a key ally and arms supplier to Taiwan, recently approved a $500 million military financing package for Taiwan, along with $2 billion in loans and loan guarantees. Additionally, $300 million in spare and repair parts for Taiwan&#8217;s F-16 fighter jets were also approved.
China&#8217;s foreign ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, stated that despite &#8220;strong Chinese opposition and repeated negotiations,&#8221; the U.S. continued to sell arms to Taiwan. As a result, China has decided to put a hold on discussions with the U.S. on a new round of consultations on arms control and nonproliferation.
The U.S. State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, criticized China&#8217;s decision, stating that it &#8220;undermines strategic stability,&#8221; and increases the risk of &#8220;arms-race dynamics.&#8221; However, he also emphasized that the U.S. remains open to developing and implementing concrete risk-reduction measures with China.

Analyst Says &#8216;Highly Unlikely,&#8217; Investors Should Consider Unavoidable National Security Risks</a>
Why It Matters: The suspension of nuclear talks follows a series of escalating tensions between the U.S. and China over Taiwan. In June, China reportedly imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39436742/china-sanctions-lockheed-martin-subsidiaries-executives-over-taiwan-arms-sales-report">sanctions on subsidiaries and senior executives</a> of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) in response to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. 
Earlier in March, the U.S. and China reportedly engaged in their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39429701/us-and-china-confront-taiwan-issue-in-first-informal-nuclear-talks-in-5-years-report">first informal nuclear talks</a> in five years, where the Taiwan issue was prominently discussed. Chinese representatives assured their U.S. counterparts that they would not resort to nuclear threats over Taiwan, emphasizing their confidence in prevailing in a conventional conflict.
Additionally, in April, Chinese President Xi Jinping accused the U.S. of attempting to provoke <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39381310/xi-jinping-says-us-trying-to-trick-china-into-invading-taiwan-they-are-having-a-pipe-dream-and-would">China into invading Taiwan</a>. Xi made these allegations during a meeting with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, stating that the U.S. was trying to trick China into a military confrontation with Taiwan.
Recently, comments by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39807774/trump-says-taiwan-should-pay-us-for-defense-ex-presidents-remark-triggers-fall-in-tsmc-shares">suggested that Taiwan should pay</a> the U.S. for its defense, causing a significant drop in shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and other tech giants in Silicon Valley.

China Halts Nuclear Talks With US Over Taiwan Arms Sales After Reportedly Sanctioning Lockheed Martin Executives In June

Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, raised concerns about a potential deflationary cycle, citing a significant drop in commodity prices.
What Happened: Wood, in her letter to investors on Wednesday, pointed out the surprising downtrend in commodity prices since 2008. She highlighted that the Bloomberg Commodity Price Index is currently at the same level as in 1984, indicating a potential deflationary &#8220;Kondratieff wave.&#8221;
Kondratiev waves are long economic cycles, lasting 40-60 years, marked by alternating periods of high and slow growth, linked to the technology life cycle.
Wood also discussed the yield curve, which has been flattening for over a decade and inverted for more than two years. This, she suggested, further supports the notion of a deflationary Kondratieff wave.
&#8220;Characterized by decades-long waves of inflation and deflation, the concept of a wave continuing today might be associated not only with technologically enabled innovation but also with China exporting deflation to resuscitate its economy,&#8221; Wood wrote. 
By &#8220;exporting deflation,&#8221; Wood refers to China selling products to the U.S. at lower prices, made possible through government subsidies.

The CEO noted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39646053/mixed-picture-for-fed-june-payrolls-rise-more-than-expected-unemployment-rate-ticks-up-wage-grow">unemployment rate</a> has risen from 3.4% to 4% since January 2023, and several sectors of the economy, including housing, autos, and commercial real estate, have already entered a recession. She also highlighted the decline in the Index of Leading Economic Indicators, which has not been seen since the Global Financial Crisis.
Wood believes that the economy is gradually slipping into a recession and that the yield curve will only normalize with significant easing by the Federal Reserve.
&#8220;In our view, the economy is continuing its slow recession roll, and not until the Fed eases significantly will the yield curve normalize,&#8221; Wood wrote. 
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s warning of a potential deflationary cycle aligns with her previous predictions. In January, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36764700/cathie-wood-predicts-fed-will-stop-rolling-recession-with-interest-rate-cuts-more-deflationary-force">forecasted a deflationary environment</a> for 2024, despite record highs in the S&amp;P 500 and technology stocks.
Wood&#8217;s recent letter also coincides with her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39830547/why-cathie-wood-is-betting-on-small-cap-stocks-triumphing-over-magnificent-six-amid-restrictive-">forecast of a potential shift</a> in the equity market, and strategic change in her company&#8217;s flagship fund ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), favoring small-cap stocks over large-cap tech companies due to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s current &#8220;restrictive&#8221; monetary policy.
Wood&#8217;s concerns are echoed by former Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39830062/september-may-bring-rate-cut-says-former-dallas-fed-president-robert-kaplan-i-think-theres-a-good-ch">predicts a potential rate cut</a> in September, and New York Fed President John Williams, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39812270/jerome-powells-top-advisor-hints-at-feds-potential-rate-cut-plans-all-moving-in-the-right-direction">hints at a potential rate cut</a> in the coming months if the recent slowdown in inflation persists.

Deflation On The Horizon? Cathie Wood Points At Falling Commodity Prices To Hint At Slowing Economy

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMC#NYSE">TSMC</a>) reported strong revenue and earnings growth for the second quarter, which came in above estimates, buoyed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39824702/ai-infrastructure-ceo-says-customers-are-showing-relentless-demand-for-nvidia-chips-and-nvidia-chips">robust demand for AI chip</a>s used in hyper-performance computing. The company also issued upbeat guidance for the third quarter.
TSMC&#8217;s Key Q2 Numbers: Hsinchu, Taiwan-based TSMC reported consolidated second-quarter revenue of NT$673.51 billion ($20.82 billion), up 40.1% year-over-year. Sequentially, the top line expanded by 13.6%. In dollar terms, the revenue growth was 32.8% year-over-year and 10.3% quarter-over-quarter.
Revenue topped the NT$657.58 billion LSEG consensus estimates, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/18/tsmc-q2-2024-earnings.html">according</a> to CNBC. 
The sequential revenue growth was aided by strong demand for 3-nanometer and 5-nm technologies, partly offset by continued smartphone seasonality, the company said.
High-performance computing and smartphone end markets accounted for 52% and 33% of net revenue, respectively. IoT, automotive, digital consumer electronics and others made up of 5%, 2% and 2%, respectively. HPC revenue climbed 28% sequentially, while smartphone revenue declined 1%.
North American-based customers contributed 65% of the total revenue, China 16%, Asia-Pacific 9%, Japan 6% and EMEA 4%.
Net income and earnings per share climbed a more modest 36.3% each to NT$247.85 billion and NT$9.56 per share ($1.48 per ADR unit), respectively. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, net income rose 9.9%. Analysts, on average, expected a net profit of NT $238.8 billion.
Margin Profile: The company said in a statement that its gross margin, operating and net profit margin were at 53.2%, 42.5% and 36.8%, respectively. Here&#8217;s how margins compare to the prior-year period.

Shipments of the most advanced 3-nanometer processor node tech accounted for 15% of the total wafer revenue, while 5-nm and 7-nm processors made up 35% and 17% of the revenue, respectively. These advanced and more advanced technologies together made up 67% of the total wafer revenue.
Look Ahead: Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei said on the earnings call that &#8220;I also try to reach the supply and demand balance, but I cannot. Today, the demand is so high I had to work very hard to meet customer demand,&#8221; CNBC said.
 &#8220;I hope sometime in 2025 or 2026, I can reach the balance.&#8221;
The top brass expects business to be supported by strong smartphone and AI-related demand in the third quarter, adding that they continue to expect 2024 to be &#8220;a strong growth year for TSMC.&#8221;

Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX on Wednesday revealed a conceptual illustration of the spacecraft it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39516687/elon-musks-spacex-wins-843m-contract-for-historic-nasa-mission">designing to deorbit the International Space Station</a> (ISS) and it resembles the company&#8217;s Dragon spacecraft.
What Happened: SpaceX posted the picture on X, while explaining that the spacecraft will have six times more propellant and four times the power of its Dragon spacecraft.

NASA <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39574766/spacex-overtakes-ula-in-military-space-missions-as-vulcan-centaur-rocket-experiences-delays">chose SpaceX</a> to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit vehicle (USDV) to deorbit the space station and ensure a lack of risk to populated areas in late June. SpaceX will develop the deorbit spacecraft under the contract valued at $843 million and NASA will take ownership afterward and operate it through the mission. 
The space agency said in a statement on Wednesday that the deorbit spacecraft would move the station out of orbit and into a remote area of an ocean at the end of its operations around 2030.
Both the spacecraft and the station are expected to break up through the process of re-entry into Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. Any remnants will subsequently fall harmlessly into the ocean. 
Why It Matters: Which launch vehicle will launch the deorbiting spacecraft into space has not been ascertained to date. 
However, the deorbiting vehicle will be launched about one and a half years before the final re-entry burn, ISS program manager Dana Weigel said in a media teleconference on Wednesday. The crew will stay on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36885276/starlab-to-launch-in-single-flight-before-iss-shutdown-thanks-to-spacexs-starship">board the station</a> until 6 months before the final re-entry, they added.
Once the ISS reaches an altitude of about 140 miles, the USDV will &#8220;perform a series of burns to set us up for that final deorbit, and then four days later it will do the final re-entry burn,&#8221; Weigel said.

Nasdaq Sees Worst Session Since 2022 As Chip Stocks Tumble After Trump's Taiwan Remarks and Biden's Potential Restrictions

Tech stocks sold off on Wednesday, weighed down by comments from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and lukewarm forward guidance issued by European chip-equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>). Tech venture capitalist and Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Gene Munster weighed in on the implications of the geopolitical rhetoric from either side of the aisle for the sector in general and artificial intelligence technology in particular.
What Happened: The Nasdaq Composite Index ended Wednesday&#8217;s session down 2.5% and the Nasdaq 100, comprising 100 of the biggest non-financial tech stocks, fell a steeper 2.94%. The sharp plunge has been triggered by a vortex of geopolitical comments from Trump and President Joe Biden, said Munster in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
&#8220;Trump's comments are part threat and part reality,&#8221; Munster said. Trump threatened to withdraw support for Taiwan, he said, adding that the former president has a history of making threats that he does not follow through on. Munster pointed to the fact that Trump threatened in 2018 about the U.S. exiting NATO, which never materialized.
But in reality, Trump wants to continue supporting Taiwan and &#8220;earn a political win around getting a U.S. ally to &#8216;pay for defense,'&#8221; Munster said. He noted that since 2017 NATO Europe and Canada spending has increased by 28% versus the 20% that the U.S. has been doing.
Regarding Biden&#8217;s comments, Munster noted that the White House wanted to further restrict advanced technology used in building AI to enter China. While companies like ASML were mentioned, greater restrictions could have a negative impact on Nvidia, which could hamper the AI trade in the near term.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-artificial-intelligence-stocks">Best Artificial Intelligence Stocks</a>
Why It&#8217;s Important: The tech entrepreneur sees politics and regulation slowing down AI&#8217;s progress in the near term, i.e. over the next 1-3 years, by making it more expensive to access the underlying hardware. He, however, sees the technology weathering the headwind.
&#8220;This too will pass given the power of AI will eventually surpass the power of politics. In the end, the substance of AI will exceed the hype,&#8221; he added.
The rally seen in the market since the start of 2023 has been fueled by the hype around AI and its long-term potential. Most analysts, including Munster, believe th<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38910879/stock-market-to-rally-for-3-5-years-before-ai-bubble-bursts-predicts-veteran-analyst-gene-munste">e AI bubble will last at least for 3-5 years.</a>
The Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) ended Wednesday&#8217;s session down 3.33% to $35.72, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>
