Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Tuesday. The company disclosed a conditional commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42180279/rivian-receives-conditional-commitment-for-up-to-6-6-billion-loan-from-the-u-s-department-of-energ" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Loan Program for up to $6.6 billion</a>.
The loan comprises $6 billion in principal and approximately $600 million in capitalized interest.
Rivian expects the loan to support its growth and strengthen its hold in EV design, development, and manufacturing in the U.S.
If finalized, the DOE loan will help Rivian&#8217;s construction of a new facility in Stanton Springs North, Georgia, significantly expanding its U.S. production capacity to meet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42173555">domestic and international demand.</a>
The funding will primarily support the production of Rivian&#8217;s midsize platform, which includes the R2 SUV and R3/R3X midsize crossovers.
Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the U.S., these vehicles are expected to combine capability, performance, functionality, and competitive pricing, positioning them as key contributors to Rivian&#8217;s long-term growth and profitability.
The DOE loan would boost the U.S. EV industry, creating 7,500 operational jobs and 2,000 construction jobs at Rivian&#8217;s planned Georgia facility, with Phase 1 production starting in 2028.
The facility will add 400,000 units of annual capacity in two phases, supporting domestic and international markets.
These efforts complement jobs at Rivian&#8217;s Illinois plant, strengthening the U.S. EV ecosystem and economy.
Rivian plans to build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at the Stanton Springs site near Atlanta, incorporating advanced construction techniques, environmental management, and community investments while preserving natural spaces.
The DOE&#8217;s conditional loan commitment signals intent to finance Rivian&#8217;s project, pending fulfillment of technical, legal, environmental, and financial conditions.
If approved, the loan will be secured by the project&#8217;s assets, fixed assets, and guarantees from Rivian Automotive, Inc. and select subsidiaries.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Renaissance IPO ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPO#NYSE">IPO</a>) and First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCLN#NASDAQ">QCLN</a>).
Price Action: RIVN shares are up 6.037% at $12.30 premarket at the last check Tuesday.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has completed the environmental assessment for the impact of the increased number of Starship launches from Boca Chica, Texas, up to 25 launches a year.
What Happened: Members of the public can comment on the assessment till Jan. 17, 2025. 
Starship is presently cleared for 5 Starship launches in a year. As per the FAA&#8217;s assessment, the increase in launch cadence is not expected to result in any additional impact.
&#8220;Based on the above review&#8230; the FAA has concluded that the modification of SpaceX's existing vehicle operator license for Starship/Super Heavy operations conforms to the prior environmental documentation, consistent with the data contained in the 2022 PEA (Programmatic Environmental Assessment), that there are no significant environmental changes, and all pertinent conditions and requirements of the prior approval have been met or will be met in the current action,&#8221; the FAA said. 
Formal approval will come after the FAA takes in comments and reviews them. It is unclear how long it would take. 
Why It Matters: Starship is currently in the testing and development phase. 
The company has conducted six test flights of the vehicle thus far but without a payload. The last flight test took place earlier in November and NASA is looking forward to taking humans back to the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">custom version of Starship</a>.
&#8220;&#8230;I would not be surprised if we fly 400 Starship launches in the next four years," SpaceX President and COO&nbsp;Gwynne Shotwell&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42105704/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-reveals-technical-glitch-that-led-company-to-drop-key-objective-of-starships-6th-test-flight">said at the Baron Investment Conference</a> in New York earlier this month.

Bitcoin-related stocks saw a decline in Tuesday&#8217;s pre-market trading as Bitcoin&#8217;s price slipped from its recent highs. The cryptocurrency&#8217;s rally appears to be losing steam after nearing the significant $100,000 milestone.
What Happened: Bitcoin, often dubbed &#8220;King Crypto,&#8221; was trading at $93,590.38 at 5:00 AM Eastern Time. A prominent trader has warned that if Bitcoin fails to break through the $100,000 resistance level, it could experience a significant correction, potentially dropping to $85,600 in a worst-case scenario.
As Bitcoin&#8217;s momentum seems to be waning, stocks tied to the cryptocurrency also face declines. As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) dropped by 3.63%, MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) fell by 3.33%, and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) decreased by 3.40% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.

Why It Matters: The recent dip in Bitcoin&#8217;s price comes amid a broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42163156/why-bitcoins-rally-is-stalling-below-100000">cooling of bullish sentiment </a>in the cryptocurrency market. According to&nbsp;Santiment data, the enthusiasm that fueled a prolonged rally since September is waning, especially for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 
Adding to the concerns, a&nbsp;crypto analyst&nbsp;known for accurately predicting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42154900/crypto-expert-who-called-2022-market-crash-warns-about-bitcoin">2022 market crash</a> has warned that Bitcoin may be approaching a local top. The analyst, known as Capo, has highlighted indicators such as overextended bullish sentiment and diminishing momentum as signs that a correction could be imminent.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly changing its approach to software updates. The tech giant appears to be opting for staggered rollouts of new features instead of bundling everything into annual iOS releases.
What Happened: In his latest weekly "Power On" newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman said that Cupertino plans a significant update with iOS 18.4 this spring.
However, several features that were initially set for the latter half of 2025 are now delayed.
Previously, the analyst reported that the much-anticipated Siri overhaul, which aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42129847/apple-prepares-to-take-on-openais-chatgpt-google-gemini-live-with-llm-siri-in-2025-report">incorporate in-house</a> LLMs for a more conversational assistant, was also pushed back. 
Beyond LLMS, a larger-than-usual number of features for iOS 19 are also postponed till spring 2026. That's around when iOS 19.4 will be released, said Gurman in the newsletter.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, Cupertino alerted investors about the potential uncertainty in the profitability of its future products, including AI and virtual reality.
In its updated annual report, Apple included a new &#8220;risk factors&#8221; section, highlighting that some of its upcoming products may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41773589/apple-signals-profit-risks-in-ai-and-vr-shift-what-it-means-for-investors">not achieve the same revenue</a> and profit margins as its flagship product, the iPhone.
Apple reported fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $94.9 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $94.56 billion. The company also posted adjusted earnings of $1.64 per share, beating the anticipated $1.60 per share.
This marked the seventh straight quarter that Apple has outperformed analyst forecasts for both revenue and earnings, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
During the earnings call at the time, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared that the adoption rate of iOS 18.1 is double that of iOS 17.1.
During the same call, Apple CFO Luca Maestri was asked about the company's capital expenditure outlook, particularly concerning investments in private cloud computing and AI.
What Analysts Are Saying: Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng inquired whether these investments could affect Apple&#8217;s typical annual capex range of around $10 billion.
In response, Maestri explained that Apple uses a hybrid model for its data centers, combining both proprietary and third-party resources. This makes its capex numbers distinct from other companies.
He confirmed that Apple is already investing in infrastructure to support its AI-related features, with additional spending planned for fiscal year 2025.
In its 10-K filing filed in November, Apple reported research and development expenses of $31.37 billion, rising 5% over 2023.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock rose 1.31% on Monday, closing at $232.87, but dipped 0.18% in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, the company&#8217;s shares have increased by 25.44%, slightly trailing the Nasdaq 100 index, which has gained 25.8%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

In a recent investor webinar,&nbsp;Cathie Wood&nbsp;shared her perspective on how a potential second term for&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;might influence the IPO market. 
What Happened: Wood expressed optimism about the future direction of the market.
&#8220;If the market continues to move forward in the way we believe it will…we believe that the IPO market will open up and that will give us a chance, lots of opportunities to diversify our portfolios and it will give our venture funds liquidity events that they have not enjoyed during the last four years,&#8221; she said.
Her comments, made during a session released on Friday, come at a time when the market is experiencing increased volatility that anticipated the effect of a second term of Trump on the Wall Street.

&#8220;The IPO market is what the IPO market is. And if the 10 year is back to 4.5-5%, that&#8217;s not a compelling strategy for some SaaS company or some internet business that didn&#8217;t take an opportunity to go public when rates were at zero. So if you just look mathematically at what the actual fair value of these companies should be, I don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s not like such a great IPO market,&#8221; he said during one of the recent episodes of the All-In Podcast.
Investors are keenly observing which of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future"> Trump&#8217;s campaign promises</a> might translate into policy actions. While some pledges, like reducing corporate taxes and deregulation, could benefit the economy and stock prices, others, such as strict immigration policies and high tariffs, might pose economic challenges.
Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;has warned that Trump&#8217;s proposed economic policies could lead to significant economic disruption.

Cathie Wood Bets On Thriving IPO Market Under Trump: 'Will Give...Liquidity Events That They Have Not Enjoyed During The Last Four Years'

Cryptocurrency markets are on the cusp of a potentially transformative period, with leading analysts forecasting a significant surge in alternative cryptocurrencies driven by complex <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179986/bitcoin-dogecoin-reverse-ethereum-gains-as-stocks-touch-new-peaks-top-analyst-anticipates-no-major-correction-for-btc-until-135k">economic indicators and market sentiment</a>.
What Happened: Mikybull, a prominent crypto trader, offered an intricate market perspective on X, emphasizing that if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues hovering around the $95,000-$94,000 range, alternative cryptocurrencies will likely experience substantial performance. 
He boldly <a href="https://x.com/MikybullCrypto/status/1861286914227052863">proclaimed</a> that the &#8220;Altcoins dominance&#8221; has climbed above the trend ribbon, signaling an impending outperformance in the coming weeks.
The trader further predicted that Ethereum&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) next rally to $6,000 has already commenced, suggesting that the &#8220;Altseason storm&#8221; is about to reach its next intensity level. This forecast comes amid a dynamic market landscape where cryptocurrencies are responding to nuanced economic signals.

Michaël van de Poppe, another crypto analyst, provided deeper insights into Ethereum&#8217;s remarkable performance. He highlighted a &#8220;massive bullish divergence&#8221; in Ethereum&#8217;s market behavior, directly linking its outperformance to dropping government bond yields.

Poppe emphasized that the sole reason for Ethereum&#8217;s significant movement is the impact of yield markets, creating a complex interplay between traditional financial instruments and digital assets.

Looking ahead, Poppe anticipates that the upcoming Labor Market Week could be pivotal. He suggests that potentially weak labor market data might prompt the Federal Reserve to implement more rate cuts, consequently driving down yields and potentially propelling Ethereum&#8217;s valuation.
Why It Matters: Current market data from the CME FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a> indicates shifting rate cut probabilities. The likelihood of a rate cut at the Dec. 18 Federal Reserve meeting has decreased to 55.9% from 74.6% a month ago, with the current federal funds rate sitting between 450-475 basis points.
The cryptocurrency landscape has witnessed notable movements, with Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179986/bitcoin-dogecoin-reverse-ethereum-gains-as-stocks-touch-new-peaks-top-analyst-anticipates-no-major-correction-for-btc-until-135k">breaking past $3,500 for the first time</a> in four months. This rally triggered strong inflows into Ether spot exchange-traded funds, totaling $283,000, while Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows exceeding $684 million.
Traders define &#8220;Altcoin Season&#8221; as a period when 75% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42030200/bitcoin-dominance-decline-expected-next-month-analyst-projects-altseason-to-peak-by-march-2025">alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin</a>—a threshold that indicators suggest that the market may be rapidly approaching.
