<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/compass-pathways">COMPASS Pathways</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMPS#NASDAQ">CMPS</a>), a key player in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/psychedelics">psychedelics industry</a>, recently experienced a $43 million drop in market capitalization, reducing its value to $302 million. As Simply Wall St. <a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/pharmaceuticals-biotech/nasdaq-cmps/compass-pathways/news/in-the-wake-of-compass-pathways-plcs-nasdaqcmps-latest-us43m">reported</a>, this decline has placed institutional investors, who own 30% of the company's shares, under increasing pressure to act. The stock has already faced a 32% loss over the past year, raising concerns about its future trajectory.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Institutional Ownership And Its Implications</h3>
Institutional investors, often referred to as &#8220;smart money,&#8221; hold the largest stake in COMPASS Pathways. These entities, which include hedge funds owning 13%, are known for their active investment strategies and significant influence on stock prices. A simultaneous sell-off by large institutional shareholders could exacerbate the company's losses, making the current situation pivotal for its stability.
The top nine shareholders collectively own 52% of the company, with George Goldsmith, a co-founder, holding the largest individual stake at 11%. Such concentrated ownership underscores the significant influence these stakeholders wield over the company's future.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insider And Public Stakeholders</h3>
Insiders account for 15% of ownership, valued at $46 million. This level of insider investment suggests a strong alignment of interests between the company&#8217;s leadership and its shareholders. However, balancing the influence of insiders with accountability remains a concern.
The general public holds 25% of COMPASS Pathways, reflecting the involvement of retail investors in the company&#8217;s trajectory. While this group lacks the power to dictate strategy, it plays a critical role in shaping sentiment and trading activity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Private Equity And Strategic Interests</h3>
Private equity firms control 5.6% of COMPASS Pathways, signaling potential for strategic input into the company's operations. Additionally, public companies own 10% of the business, likely reflecting related business interests or a de-merger history, warranting further investigation into these relationships.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Implications&nbsp;</h3>
The recent market cap drop highlights the challenges faced by COMPASS Pathways amid broader industry volatility. As institutions weigh their options, the potential for further sell-offs looms, which could negatively impact retail and smaller investors. Analysts will be closely monitoring the company&#8217;s ability to stabilize its earnings trajectory and maintain investor confidence.
Compass shares traded +2.04% at $4.50 per share at the time of this publication early afternoon on Monday.

COMPASS Pathways: Institutional Pressure Amid $43M Market Cap Decline, What's Next For This Psychedelics Co?

President-elect Donald Trump's legal troubles are set to ease after Special Counsel Jack Smith formally requested the dismissal of federal charges Monday linked to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
The move, filed in a Washington federal court Monday, is based on long-standing Justice Department guidance, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/">CBS News</a> reports.
What Happened: Smith asked the court to drop the charges against Trump, citing constitutional protections that shield sitting presidents from prosecution. The Justice Department concluded that allowing the case to proceed would conflict with these protections. 
Trump's legal team did not oppose the motion, and the dismissal is expected to be approved before his January inauguration.
Federal prosecutors had accused Trump of attempting to block the transfer of power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment alleged a coordinated effort to challenge the election results and pressure officials to overturn Joe Biden's victory.

Why It Matters: The decision brings an end to one of the most high-profile federal cases against Trump. Critics warn that dropping charges could create a precedent where sitting presidents are shielded from federal accountability. 
Smith, whose investigations also included Trump's handling of classified documents, is expected to resign after submitting a final report.
Trump, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42152895/trump-plans-doj-overhaul-including-firing-of-jack-smiths-team">plans sweeping changes</a> to the Department of Justice. Reports suggest he intends to fire Smith's team and revisit allegations of voter fraud, despite repeated findings that such claims lack evidence. Legal experts caution these moves could further erode trust in the Justice Department's impartiality.

Special Prosecutor In Trump's Jan. 6 Case Asks For Dismissal Ahead Of Inauguration Day

Analysts expect CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) to report third-quarter revenue of $982.36 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close Tuesday.</a> That&#8217;s up from $786.01 million in last year's third quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Observers will be closely watching the stock for signs of a recovery following a July IT outage — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870313/microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-caused-largest-it-outage-in-history-showing-how-much-we-depend-on-a-hand">one of the largest in history</a>. 
Earnings Estimates: CrowdStrike has beaten analyst revenue estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.
Analysts expect the company to report third-quarter earnings per share of 81 cents, versus 82 cents in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst earnings per share estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.

What Analysts Are Saying: Investor attention will be on CrowdStrike's recovery from its July 19 outage, Rosenblatt analyst Catherine Trebnick said in a new investor note.
The analyst reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $325 to $385.
"Our channel checks suggest that customers remain confident in the company and are not stepping away," Trebnick said.
Trebnick said CrowdStrike could show "modest upside" from quarterly estimates and raise guidance.
"Some renewals may be delayed, but overall customer retention appears strong."
Guidance and the litigation overhang are key items being watched by WestPark Capital&#8217;s Paul Rodriguez. The analyst has a Hold rating and no price target. Future revenue can be impacted by customer discounts being used to help offset customer complaints about the July outage.
"Our checks suggest CRWD has not suffered much customer churn but CrowdStrike has had to make concessions to its clients base," Rodriguez said.
The analyst said there are concerns about heavy discounting being done in the field.
A litigation overhang mainly revolves around Delta Air Lines, is also a concern for the analyst after Delta decided to move forward with legal action.
"If other companies move further with litigation against CrowdStrike post the Delta news remains to be seen but this scenario does pose a risk to CrowdStrike shares."
Key Items to Watch: CrowdStrike said second-quarter annual recurring revenue was up 32% year-over-year. This remains a key item for investors to watch on Tuesday.
The company said the July outage inspired a renewed focus on becoming a "more customer-obsessed CrowdStrike." 
Cybersecurity remains a key theme going forward with companies increasing focus and spending on this category. Aside from the July outage recovery, new products and commentary on customer spending will be big items to watch for investors.
Price Action: CrowdStrike stock is down 2% to $363.80 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $200.81 to $398.30. CrowdStrike stock is up 47% year-to-date.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-enforcement-administration">Drug Enforcement Administration</a> (DEA) has denied accusations of improper communication with cannabis prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) during the Biden administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling">marijuana rescheduling process</a>.
In a recent filing <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/">reported</a> by Marijuana Moment, the agency dismissed these allegations as "gossip." While the DEA admitted to the communication, it argued they were no unlawful ex parte and that no harm was done and therefore, the motion by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41726679/village-farms-is-only-cannabis-operator-selected-to-represent-weed-industry-at-dea-rescheduling-"> Village Farms International</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFF#NASDAQ">VFF</a>) and Hemp for Victory should be dismissed.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Allegations Of Misconduct</h3>
Part of the accusations stem from social media posts by SAM president and CEO Kevin Sabet.
In a post May 6, 2024 on X, Sabet admitted to having conversations with &#8220;two confidential sources inside DEA.&#8221; Sabet said these discussions provided inside information about the agency's stance on marijuana rescheduling, including a claim that DEA Administrator Anne Milgram would not approve a proposed rule.
This post was presented as evidence by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a> advocacy groups to support their broader claim that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dea-cannabis">the DEA</a> holds a contradictory position, alleging the agency is acting as both judge and participant in the cannabis rescheduling process.
The post by Sabet admitting to the conversations with insider sources is still on X.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DEA's Defense</h3>
According to the DEA's filing, the cannabis organizations' evidence is not proof of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42144540/dea-slammed-over-unlawful-talks-with-cannabis-opponents-the-plot-thickens">misconduct</a>. &#8220;Movants' own evidence fails to demonstrate that any unlawful ex parte communication took place," the agency said. A movant is any party that makes a motion in a case.
The DEA flatly rejected accusations of bias or impropriety, emphasizing that the submitted evidence amounts to little more than hearsay. 
"The Movants would have this tribunal embark on a fishing expedition in search of evidence to support these sweeping, unsupported claims, which at best can be categorized as gossip, not ex parte communications," the DEA stated.
It also dismissed calls for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42144540/dea-slammed-over-unlawful-talks-with-cannabis-opponents-the-plot-thickens">agency's removal </a>from the rescheduling process, arguing that there is no legal precedent for such action. 
"The only authority cited by the Movants on this point simply supports the notion that specific individuals may be removed from the proceeding under the appropriate circumstances," per the filing.
Additionally, the DEA pointed out that no misconduct has been alleged against its attorneys involved in the proceedings, further undermining the motion's validity.
As a consequence, the DEA requested the motion's dismissal. "The tribunal correctly questions the seriousness of the remedies sought by the Movants and as such, should deny the motion," the agency concluded.

What's Going On With Zoom Video Stock Today?

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) recent rally could face a sharp downturn, with a prominent trader warning of a potential correction if the cryptocurrency fails to break the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap/24/11/42171130/russell-2000-dow-sp-500-all-achieve-record-highs-in-wall-streets-historic-day-bitcoin-gold-tumble-whats-driving-markets-monday">$100,000 resistance level.</a>
The <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1860409141677662707">forecast</a>, which points to a drop as low as $85,600 in a worst-case scenario, comes as Bitcoin shows signs of a cooling rally after nearing the critical $100,000 milestone. 
On Nov. 23, chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1860409141677662707">flagged</a> a bearish signal on Bitcoin's 12-hour chart using the TD Sequential indicator.
Ali predicted that Bitcoin could correct to $91,583, with a deeper drop to $85,610 if selling pressure intensifies.
The apex crypto is trading around $94,660 at the time of writing, down 1.6% over the past 24 hours.

Altcoins such as Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) are down over 5%, while Solana's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Ether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Cardano's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) and Binance's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>) fell between 2% and 5%.
This market-wide retreat caused the overall crypto market capitalization to decline by 2.4%.
The volatility also hit crypto-tracked futures, with over $400 million liquidated in both long and short positions.
According to Coinglass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData">data</a>, $283 million in bullish bets and $156 million in bearish bets were wiped out over the past 24 hours. 
Interestingly, small altcoins and midcap futures saw higher liquidation volumes than Bitcoin and Ether, suggesting increased risk-taking among traders.
The market correction comes against the backdrop of deteriorating sentiment in the cryptocurrency industry as Bitcoin failed to break <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42163156/why-bitcoins-rally-is-stalling-below-100000">the $100,000 threshold</a>.

The Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event featured a panel on NFTs and the metaverse, sparking discussions about their long-term potential despite current skepticism. Post panel, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138947/bitcoin-zeroes-in-on-100000-but-this-indicator-signals-one-more-brief-correction">Ian Horne, head of content </a>for Money20/20 Amsterdam, shared his perspective on how these technologies may evolve and gain broader acceptance over time.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Beyond Skepticism</h1>
Horne acknowledged the criticism NFTs and the metaverse have faced in recent years, often due to unrealistic expectations and failed projects. But, he argued that their core concepts remain relevant for the future of digital interaction.
"These concepts have been derided rightly for failures in recent years," Horne said, "but long term, the idea of a metaverse becoming a thriving idea, and NFTs being important to identity and how we relate to others online, is completely still valid."
The panel conversation, which included Alex Salnikov of Rarible, delved into how practical applications of NFTs and metaverse technology could reshape online experiences. Horne emphasized that discussing these ideas in a grounded way helps audiences better understand their potential.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Adoption Through Integration</h1>
Addressing skepticism, Horne explained that widespread adoption of these technologies would likely happen when seamlessly integrated into daily activities without being labeled as NFTs or metaverse applications. 
"I think the real adoption of these things is going to happen when we don't talk about it like it being the metaverse or like it being an NFT," he said. Instead, users will engage with digital tools like tokens or online marketplaces without understanding the underlying technology.
Horne stressed the focus should shift to the value these technologies add rather than their technical definitions. "When we're talking about the value add and not the technology, that's when I think we're nailing it," he added.
The panel discussion at the event reflected a broader sentiment that while challenges remain, the long-term promise of NFTs and the metaverse lies in their ability to integrate seamlessly into the digital world and shape how individuals interact online.
