Eric Balchunas, a renowned financial analyst, recently expressed skepticism about the potential success of Grayscale&#8217;s Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) spot ETF due to its high fee structure.
What Happened: Grayscale submitted updated S-1 filings with the SEC Wednesday, revealing the all-important information about the fund management fee. The digital asset management giant will charge 2.5% for its Grayscale Ethereum Trust, significantly higher than its competitors. A miniature version of the fund, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust, will however charge 0.25%. 
Balchunas questioned these moves, asking whether the 0.25% fee would be low enough to attract sufficient organic flows to offset what he referred to as &#8220;The Big Unlock&#8221;.
He further speculated on the ability of new entrants to the market to counterbalance the predicted outflows due to the flagship version&#8217;s high fees, drawing a parallel with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). &#8220;Anyway short story is the 2.5% fee made path to a decent net flow number a little harder,&#8221; Balchunas feared.

Another well-known ETF expert, Nate Geraci, called this a &#8220;huge miss&#8221; by Grayscale, indicating that the mini trust should have been priced much lower. &#8220;Entire pricing strategy around both spot BTC &amp; ETH ETFs seems focused on maximizing short-term revenue vs playing long game,&#8221; Geraci stated.

Why It Matters: These criticisms come even as other funds, including the one by BlackRock, are <a href="https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1813693107214717181">priced much lower</a>. The ishares Ethereum Trust will charge 0.25%, and so will the ETFs by Fidelity and Invesco.
Grayscale, which already operates the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>), faced significant outflows pressure after launch due to its 1.5% fees, highest among all spot Bitcoin ETFs. Since launch, it has recorded net outflows of $18.69 billion as of this writing, <a href="https://sosovalue.xyz/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">according </a>to SoSo Value.

Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, has predicted a potential shift in the equity market, favoring small-cap stocks over large-cap tech companies. This forecast is based on the current &#8220;restrictive&#8221; monetary policy of the Federal Reserve, as outlined in a recent investor letter on Wednesday.
What Happened: Wood highlighted the potential impact of the Fed&#8217;s current policy, which is aimed at curbing inflation following the COVID-19 crisis. She pointed out that previous instances of market concentration, such as in 1973 and 2000, were followed by significant market downturns. 
In contrast, periods of broader market concentration, such as in 1932, 1964, and 2009, signaled the beginning of broader-based equity bull markets.
Wood suggested that the current risk is a result of the Fed&#8217;s &#8220;restrictive&#8221; policy, which is in stark contrast to the &#8220;easing&#8221; policy of 1973 and 2000. She believes that this could create an opportunity for smaller-cap stocks to outperform the mega caps currently dominated by the &#8220;Magnificent Six.&#8221;
Wood wrote, &#8220;In our view, having already paid dues with tight money and higher interest rates in this cycle, the next few years could prove fertile for the broad swath of the equity market beyond the Magnificent Six. As inflation and interest rates continue to unwind during the next few years, smaller-cap stocks should have much more compelling upside potential relative to the mega caps now dominated by the Magnificent Six.&#8221;

Top U.S. tech companies renowned for their advancements in AI have been pivotal in driving stock market growth. These companies include the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; — Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Google&#8217;s parent company Alphabet Inc. (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>).
Last week, Wood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39725875/cathie-wood-touts-palantir-coinbase-and-roku-as-arks-flagship-fund-shifts-focus-from-mag-6-amid-">acknowledged</a> that the company's flagship fund ARK Innovation ETF&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) performance has been impacted by the shift in focus from the "Magnificent Six" to multiomics stocks, which have been adversely affected by the prospect of prolonged high interest rates.
Why It Matters: This prediction by Wood aligns with a recent surge in small-cap stocks. Market strategist Tom Lee noted that small-caps have been on a tear since Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s Congressional testimony, and the rally in the space is only getting started. Lee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39786725/market-strategist-breaks-down-bull-case-scenario-for-small-caps-predicts-40-jump-in-near-term-i-">predicted a 40% jump in the near term</a> for small-caps.
Wood&#8217;s prediction also comes in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39807403/tesla-stock-could-shoot-up-10-times-due-to-robotaxis-says-cathie-wood-the-biggest-ai-project-evolvin">wake of her optimistic outlook</a> for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), where she suggested that the company&#8217;s stock could see a significant surge as it moves into the autonomous taxi business, potentially capturing up to 50% of the autonomous taxi market.
Meanwhile, CNBC&#8217;s "Mad Money"&nbsp;host Jim Cramer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39588207/jim-cramer-has-a-market-strategy-interest-rates-up-buy-mag-7-rates-down-buy-everything" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">advised investors to consider buying the ‘Mag 7' stocks</a>&nbsp;when interest rates rise and to buy everything when rates fall, indicating a potential market strategy shift.

In a historic auction, Ken Griffin, the hedge fund billionaire, has purchased a Stegosaurus fossil for a record-breaking $44.6 million.
What Happened: The 150-million-year-old dinosaur, affectionately named &#8220;Apex,&#8221; was auctioned off at Sotheby&#8217;s on Wednesday. The sale price is the highest ever paid for a fossil at an auction, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/fine-art/ken-griffin-paid-45-million-for-a-stegosaurus-e8b51f17?mod=wknd_pos1">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
Griffin, the 55-year-old founder and CEO of Citadel, expressed his intention to lend &#8220;Apex&#8221; to a U.S. museum. The dinosaur was discovered by commercial paleontologist Jason Cooper on his property in Dinosaur, Colo., two years ago. The skeleton, standing at 27 feet, is almost complete, with at least 254 of its approximately 319 bones found on-site.
&#8220;Apex was born in America and is going to stay in America," Griffin said after the sale.
Griffin has a history of acquiring significant pieces. In 2021, he outbid a group of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and cryptocurrency investors to secure a $43.2 million first-edition copy of the U.S. Constitution, which he later loaned to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

Why It Matters: The sale of the Stegosaurus fossil is part of a growing trend of high-profile auctions of rare and historic items. In July 2022, a 77-million-year-old Gorgosaurus skeleton was auctioned at Sotheby's New York, e<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/07/28017327/who-wants-to-buy-a-77-million-year-old-gorgosaurus-skeleton">xpected to sell for up to $8 million</a>. The Gorgosaurus, unearthed near Havre, Montana, was notable for being the only one not part of a museum collection.
More recently, in September, Bob Ross&#8216;s first artwork from &#8220;The Joy of Painting&#8221; was listed for $9.8 million. The painting, titled &#8220;A Walk in the Woods,&#8221; was featured in the inaugural episode of the beloved PBS show, captivating audiences with Ross&#8217;s tranquil <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/09/34663990/bob-ross-first-artwork-from-the-joy-of-painting-on-sale-for-9-8-million">demeanor and gentle strokes</a>. The painting is currently housed at the Modern Artifact gallery in Minneapolis.
Additionally, in August, several rare Apple Inc. and Steve Jobs-associated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34060563/steve-jobs-signed-check-sells-for-over-135k-alongside-apple-rarities-like-sealed-iphone">items were auctioned</a>, including a sealed iPhone and an Apple-1 computer. These auctions highlight the increasing value and interest in rare and historic artifacts.

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have successfully attached living skin tissue to robotic faces, enabling them to &#8220;smile.&#8221;
What Happened: The smiling robot, featured in&nbsp;a study published&nbsp;by Cell Reports Physical Science,&nbsp;is the culmination of a decade-long&nbsp;research by Shoji Takeuchi and his&nbsp;team on the fusion of&nbsp;biological and artificial machines, reported Reuters.
The scientists cultivated&nbsp;human skin cells in the&nbsp;form of a face and manipulated it into a broad smile using ligament-like attachments.
Living&nbsp;tissue, Takeuchi pointed out, has several benefits over metals and plastics, such as energy efficiency and self-repair capabilities. &#8220;By attaching these actuators and anchors, it became possible to manipulate living skin for the first time,&#8221; he added.

The team intends to incorporate more elements into the lab-grown skin in the future, including a circulatory system and nerves.
This could pave the way for&nbsp;safer testing platforms for cosmetics&nbsp;and drugs absorbed through the&nbsp;skin, and&nbsp;more realistic and functional coverings&nbsp;for robots.
&#8220;There&#8217;s still a bit of that creepiness to it,&#8221; Takeuchi said, adding, &#8220;I think that making robots out of the same materials as humans and having them show the same expressions might be one key to overcoming the uncanny valley.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39659954/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-rejects-idea-for-self-healing-human-skin-wrapped-terminator-like-robots-pointles">dismissed the idea of self-healing</a>, human skin-wrapped robots, by calling the innovation &#8220;pointless.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s comment was in response to an earlier innovation from the University of Tokyo, which allowed for self-healing in robots. 
Musk&#8217;s Tesla is currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39702458/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-teases-new-optimus-design-says-it-is-something-special">developing a humanoid robot</a> named Optimus. This robot, designed to resemble a human, has moving hands capable of performing various tasks in a factory setting. However, it lacks any form of skin.
In June, Musk said that two Optimus robots are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39307242/tesla-says-optimus-bots-are-now-performing-autonomous-tasks-at-its-factory-3-years-after-introductio">currently working in Tesla&#8217;s</a> Fremont factory, where they remove cells from the end of the production line and place them in containers.

The Maelstrom Fund, spearheaded by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, has unveiled a grant program to bolster Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) development. 
What Happened: The Bitcoin Grant Program promises to provide annual funding ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 per developer, capping at $250,000 per annum, as reported by <a href="https://decrypt.co/240287/arthur-hayes-maelstrom-fund-bitcoin-development-grants">Decrypt</a>. The Maelstrom Fund&#8217;s objective is to augment Bitcoin&#8217;s &#8220;resilience, scalability, censorship resistance, and privacy characteristics&#8221; through this initiative. 
&#8220;As loyal followers of Lord Satoshi, we are doing our part to spread the word,&#8221; Arthur Hayes, Maelstrom&#8217;s chief investment officer, stated while introducing the grant program..
The grants will be disbursed over 12-month periods, with monthly payments made in BTC, USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), or Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>). The grantees are required to contribute to Bitcoin&#8217;s technical development, possibly through pull requests or code reviews for the Bitcoin Core software project.

Arthur Hayes's Maelstrom Fund Unveils Grant Program To Boost Bitcoin Development: 'As Loyal Followers Of Lord Satoshi, We Are Doing Our Part'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has demanded the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle over the security failures in the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Greene, in a series of tweets, called for Cheatle&#8217;s resignation, citing the security failure in the assassination attempt on Trump. She also highlighted that the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer&nbsp;(R-Ky.) has issued a subpoena to compel Cheatle&#8217;s appearance before the committee.
Greene wrote on X, that &#8220;the assassination attempt on President Trump was an absolute security failure. As I've said all week, Director Cheatle MUST RESIGN!&#8221;
Greene also quoted her previous post saying, &#8220;Director Cheatle must absolutely appear before our Oversight Committee. But this DEI hire should do the right thing and immediately RESIGN.&#8221;

Despite facing scrutiny and calls for her resignation, Cheatle remains firm in her position. "I am the director of the Secret Service, and I need to make sure that we are performing a review and that we are giving resources to our personnel as necessary," she said. Cheatle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39784760/secret-service-director-kimberly-cheatle-says-the-buck-stops-with-me-on-trump-assassination-attempt">has defended herself</a>, stating that local law enforcement was responsible for the building the shooter was on.
"The buck stops with me," Cheatle stated, accepting her role as the head of the agency to investigate the incident and ensure it doesn't recur.

Why It Matters: It was also revealed that the Secret Service was informed of the local police&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39829608/trump-rally-security-secret-service-was-informed-of-police-inability-to-watch-sniper-location">inability to provide adequate security</a> at the building where the shooter positioned himself. This information raises further questions about the Secret Service&#8217;s handling of the situation.
The incident has had significant political implications, with some Republicans suggesting that it could boost support for Trump in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39763322/republicans-say-trump-rally-shooting-is-a-game-changer-for-former-president-he-just-won-the-election">upcoming November elections</a>.
