Asset management firm VanEck&nbsp;expressed optimism at El Salvador&#8217;s bold Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bet, terming it as a model of innovation for the emerging world.
What Happened: A report penned by Matthew Sigel, VanEck&#8217;s Head of Digital Assets Research, took stock of the Central American nation&#8217;s experience with Bitcoin and its positive impact.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The report highlighted that nearly 8% of Salvadorans have&nbsp;used Bitcoin for transactions by 2024, terming it a &#8220;meaningful step&#8221; forward for a country with traditionally low electronic payment adoption rates.
Sigel touched down on the country&#8217;s soaring Bitcoin reserves, which represented 1.6% of the country&#8217;s GDP. 
The idea of a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36192059/el-salvadors-volcanic-bitcoin-bond-approval-sets-stage-to-build-a-crypto-city">Volcano Bond</a>,&#8221; the proceeds of which are aimed to fund the development of Bitcoin City, an economic zone powered by geothermal energy, was also lauded.

Furthermore, VanEck bet on the country&#8217;s potential as a clean energy-powered Bitcoin mining hub. Interestingly, President Nayib Bukele <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42157461/el-salvadors-nayib-bukele-fancies-the-idea-of-renting-volcanoes-to-mine-bitcoin">floated</a> the "rent your volcano to mine&nbsp;Bitcoin&#8221; idea just a day before.
The report also foresaw strong collaboration between the incoming Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">administration</a> and El Salvador.
&#8220;With Trump's well-documented support for Bitcoin and focus on reshoring and "friend-shoring" supply chains, El Salvador could emerge as a strategic partner in U.S. efforts to build regional alliances.&#8221;
Why It Matters: El Salvador has doubled down on Bitcoin ever since adopting the world&#8217;s largest digital currency as a legal tender in 2021. The country has adopted a plan&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37763988/pro-bitcoin-president-nayib-bukele-says-el-salvador-will-purchase-btc-daily-until-king-cry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to buy one Bitcoin every day</a>, until it becomes unaffordable with fiat currencies.
As of this writing, El Salvador&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcoin.gob.sv/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">holds&nbsp;</a>5,945.77 Bitcoins in its treasury, worth nearly $561 million at current market prices.
But despite the promising figures, the Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40644084/el-salvador-president-nayib-bukele-says-bitcoin-uptake-hasnt-been-a-resounding-success-we-">has not been a resounding success</a>. 
Earlier in August, President Bukele admitted that the uptake of Bitcoin in the country hasn&#8217;t been as widespread as anticipated. However, he emphasized that the government never forced anyone to adopt it, offering it as an option instead.
Price Action: As of this writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,259.83, down 3.74% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Pro-Bitcoin Trump Administration Could See El Salvador Emerging As US 'Strategic Partner,' Says VanEck

Shares of Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCOV#NASDAQ">BCOV</a>) soared 35.42% on Monday to close at $4.32 following news of Halper Sadeh LLC's investigation into the fairness of the company's proposed sale to Bending Spoons for $4.45 per share in cash. 
What Happened: The stock remains volatile, slightly dipping 0.23% in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, BCOV has gained 73.49%, though it is down nearly 70% from its 2021 high of $24.43, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The legal firm is probing whether Brightcove's board secured optimal value for shareholders, citing concerns that the deal may undervalue the company. Halper Sadeh may seek higher compensation or additional disclosures.
This development comes amid a long-term decline in BCOV's valuation, with the stock trading significantly below its all-time high of $24.80 reached in 2012. 
The investigation underscores shareholder apprehension over whether the board has upheld its fiduciary duties in the merger process.

This includes SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company; X, the rebranded social media platform previously known as Twitter; and xAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company.&nbsp;
By investing in this fund, individuals can gain indirect exposure to these high-profile companies that are not publicly traded.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that SpaceX was planning to launch a tender offer next month, allowing the sale of shares at $135 each, which would value the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022150/spacex-to-launch-tender-offer-valuing-company-at-over-250-billion-report">company at over $250 billion</a>.
On the other hand, Fidelity&#8217;s latest valuation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41603930/trump-vs-musk-djt-stock-worth-more-than-latest-x-valuation-thanks-to-2024-election-run-up">estimates X at $9.4 billion</a>, a sharp drop from its $44 billion valuation in 2022 when Musk acquired the company.
However, following major advertisers exodus, things appear to be getting better for Musk's social media platform.
Earlier this month, Musk thanked major brands such as IBM, Walt Disney Co., Comcast, and Warner Bros. Discovery for returning to advertise on X.
After the U.S. 2024 Presidential election, reports indicated that some advertisers are considering returning to X to align with both Musk and President-Elect Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Musk&#8217;s AI startup, xAI, is reportedly seeking to raise as much as $6 billion to acquire 100,000 Nvidia Corporation chips. This new funding round would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022077/elon-musks-xai-seeks-6b-at-50b-valuation-to-acquire-100k-nvidia-chips-for-memphis-data-center">value xAI at $50 billion</a>, more than twice its previous valuation of $24 billion.
Price Action: ARK Venture Fund ended Monday&#8217;s regular session up 0.43%, reaching $28.22, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Renowned economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;came hard at the U.S. government&#8217;s endorsement of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), predicting potential economic consequences.
What Happened: On Monday, Schiff took to X to express his concerns over the incoming Donald Trump administration&#8217;s bet on the world&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency.
&#8220;Thanks to the Trump administration&#8217;s&nbsp;picking Bitcoin, Wall Street is&nbsp;winning bigly misallocating capital to&nbsp;Bitcoin and related value-destroying businesses,&#8221; Schiff stated.
Schiff&#8217;s remarks appeared to be directed at MicroStrategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy, now being emulated by other Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179537/rumble-bets-on-bitcoin-with-new-treasury-strategy-ceo-calls-it-an-excellent-addition">companies </a>like Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>). 
In what appeared to be a dig at Trump&#8217;s popular &#8216;Make America Great Again&#8217; slogan, Schiff said that becoming a Bitcoin superpower would make &#8220;America weaker.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s comments come in the wake of his previous warnings about the potential economic catastrophe that could result from the U.S. government establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. 
He warned that the government would have to print more dollars to buy additional Bitcoin, which could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41886523/peter-schiff-us-bitcoin-reserve-could-destroy-dollar-predicts-its-highly-unlikely-to-happen">spiral into hyperinflation and severely devalue the dollar</a>.
The staunch Bitcoin critic has also been unsparing in his attack on Michael Saylor&#8217;s MicroStrategy, the firm currently hogging all the limelight because of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42159139/microstrategy-shares-rise-in-monday-pre-market-as-michael-saylor-reveals-mstr-generating-500m-daily-amid-bitcoins-surge">aggressive BTC purchases.</a> He&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41478505/peter-schiff-predicts-a-bloodbath-for-microstrategy-stock-calls-it-the-most-overvalued-on-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">predicted a ‘bloodbath'</a>&nbsp;for MicroStrategy's stock, terming it the most overvalued on the MSCI World Index.

These trades were part of a series of strategic moves made by the investment firm.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest sold 20,552 Tesla shares across two of its ETFs. The ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) fund sold 13,136 shares, while the ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) fund sold 7,416 shares. The total value of the sold shares, based on the closing price of $338.59, amounts to approximately $7 million. This move comes amidst news that Tesla vehicles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42175967/whats-going-on-with-tesla-stock-today-3">may not be eligible</a> for rebates under a new California consumer rebates proposal, causing Tesla shares to close lower on Monday.
The Amazon Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKQ fund bought 19,747 shares of Amazon. The value of this trade, calculated from the closing price of $201.45, is approximately $4 million. This purchase follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42176396/amazon-anthropic">Amazon&#8217;s recent investment</a> of $8 billion in artificial intelligence research and development company, Anthropic. Amazon&#8217;s partnership with Anthropic is expected to be mutually beneficial, with Anthropic naming Amazon Web Services as its primary training partner and cloud provider. The Palantir Trade
On Monday, Ark sold 26,047 shares of Palantir worth $1.7 million through its ARKK ETF.
Ark Invest&#8217;s move to trade in PLTR follows a significant endorsement of the artificial intelligence software sector by Wedbush Securities. The firm&#8217;s Managing Director, Dan Ives, has predicted that 2025 will be a pivotal year for AI implementation across the industry. This comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42156160/palantir-price-target-raised-to-75-by-dan-ives-amid-288-ytd-surge-analyst-calls-2025-a-primetime-year-for-ai">Palantir continues its impressive ascent</a>, having surged 288% year-to-date.
In a sector-wide upgrade, Ives raised Palantir's price target to $75, signaling broader confidence in the software sector's AI potential. The last close price for PLTR was $64.65, marking a 0.47% increase.
The AMD Trade
The Wood-led firm purchased 10,753 shares of AMD worth $1.5 million on Monday. The last close price for AMD was $141.13, marking a 2.01% increase.
Ark Invest&#8217;s trade in AMD comes as the company reportedly plans to enter the mobile device market with new accelerated processing unit (APU) chips designed for smartphones. These chips will leverage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42168509/amd-teams-up-with-taiwan-semi-to-take-on-samsung-in-smartphone-market">Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's 3nm process</a>, extending Taiwan Semiconductor's order visibility for 3nm production into late 2026.

Cathie Wood-Led Ark Invest's Latest Portfolio Maneuver: Dumps Tesla And Palantir Shares, Buys Amazon And AMD Stock

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has reaffirmed his $75 price target on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), citing strong growth potential amid the AI revolution.
What Happened: On Monday, while appearing in a segment of CNBC, Ives argued that the market is undervaluing Palantir&#8217;s potential, especially in the software sector.
He highlighted that the company&#8217;s enterprise solutions could generate billions in revenue, positioning Palantir as a future leader like Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>).&nbsp;
Despite the current market price hovering around $37, Ives remains optimistic about Palantir&#8217;s growth trajectory in the coming years.

He acknowledged the skepticism from bears but maintained that the company&#8217;s advancements in AI and software use cases are unparalleled.
"The haters will continue to hate," Ives said, adding, "They are still underestimating when it comes to the software, the use cases." He continued by saying that there's no product out there that matches what Palantir has done with AIP.

Why It Matters: The endorsement from Ives comes as Palantir experiences a remarkable ascent, with its stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42156160/palantir-price-target-raised-to-75-by-dan-ives-amid-288-ytd-surge-analyst-calls-2025-a-primetime-year-for-ai">surging 289.928% year-to-date</a>.
Ives has previously raised Palantir's price target to $75, highlighting 2025 as a pivotal year for AI implementation across the industry.
This optimism is shared with other software companies like Elastic NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>) and Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), which were also upgraded to Buy ratings.
Despite the bullish outlook, some analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/11/42039361/palantir-soars-to-150b-market-cap-as-analysts-flag-risks-in-valuation-insider-sales">flagged risks in Palantir&#8217;s valuation</a>. Hedge fund titans like Renaissance Technologies and ARK Investment Management have trimmed their stakes, selling over 3 million shares in the third quarter, although they still hold significant positions.
Palantir&#8217;s third-quarter earnings report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">showed a revenue beat</a>, with total revenue up 30% year-over-year, driven by &#8220;unrelenting AI demand.&#8221;
U.S. revenue grew 44% year-over-year, with commercial and government sectors showing significant growth, further supporting Ives&#8217; bullish stance.
Price Action: Palantir's stock finished Monday at $64.65, up 0.47% during regular trading. However, it dropped 1.24% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

What Happened: The leading cryptocurrency went downhill during U.S. trading hours, falling as low as $92,600, Overnight buying pushed the digital asset above $94,000.
Ethereum, on the other hand, rallied past $3,500 for the first time in four months. The rally triggered strong inflows into Ether spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) totaling $283,000, <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">according </a>to SoSo Value. In comparison, Bitcoin ETFs bled more than $684 million.&nbsp;
Over $386 million in long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Additionally, more than $832 million in short positions risk liquidation if Bitcoin's price rebounds to $98,000.
Interestingly, the number of traders placing bullish bets on Bitcoin increased sharply against those shorting the asset, as per the Long/Shorts Ratio on cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This suggested that traders were buying the dip.
The reading on the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index fell from 82 to 79, though overall sentiment remained in the "Extreme Greed" region.

Analyst Notes: Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noted the similarities between the ongoing bullish cycle and the ones in 2017 and 2020.

OPI Shares Surge Over 44% As Debt Refinancing Plan Offers $340M Solution For 2025 Notes

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continues solidifying its dominance in the artificial intelligence semiconductor market, with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer emphatically saying that no company can successfully challenge the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">tech giant&#8217;s technological supremacy</a>.
What Happened: Cramer, host of &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; underscored Nvidia&#8217;s unparalleled market position, stating, &#8220;I know lots of people are gunning for Nvidia and there are stories all of the time about how other companies are trying to make chips better faster and cheaper than Nvidia&#8217;s. But they can&#8217;t.

Data Center revenue alone reached $30.8 billion, highlighting the company&#8217;s critical role in AI infrastructure.
The company&#8217;s stock has surged more than 181% year-to-date, dramatically outperforming other &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech stocks like Apple Inc. (25.44%) and Microsoft Corp. (12.92%).
Cramer emphasized the compelling investment thesis behind Nvidia, quoting CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s assertion that customers earn five dollars for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42151958/jim-cramer-doubles-down-on-nvidia-demand-is-accelerating-as-ai-customers-have-no-choice-but-to-buy-i">every dollar invested in Nvidia chips</a>. &#8220;That means they have no choice but to buy Nvidia&#8217;s chips,&#8221; Cramer said.

Cassava Sciences, Zoom, Kohl's, Rivian, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Popular video-sharing platform Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) became the latest Wall Street player to embrace the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury strategy amid the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s record-breaking run.
What Happened: According to an announcement made Monday, Rumble&#8217;s&nbsp;board approved&nbsp;a new strategy to allocate a portion of the company&#8217;s surplus&nbsp;cash reserves to Bitcoin. This&nbsp;move was part of Rumble&#8217;s strategic planning, aimed at supporting the company&#8217;s foray into the cryptocurrency market.
Rumble&#8217;s allocation strategy will include investments of up to $20 million, at the company&#8217;s discretion. At the prevailing market price, this would amount to a purchase of around 212 Bitcoins.
That said, the actual timing and value of the purchase would be decided by the management, contingent on factors such as general market conditions and the price of Bitcoin.

Bloomberg Reported President-Elect Trump Said Monday On His First Day In Office He Would Impose A 25% Tariff On All Products From Mexico, Canada, Plus Additional 10% Tariff On Goods From China

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada in response to the ongoing border crisis, stirring economic concerns.
What Happened: Trump took to Truth Social on Monday, to express his concern over the increasing number of people crossing the borders from Mexico and Canada into the United States. He described the situation as an &#8220;invasion&#8221; and blamed it for rising crime and drug levels.
Trump stated that he would sign an executive order on the first day of his administration to impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the U.S. from Mexico and Canada. He added that the tariff would remain in effect until the drug and illegal immigration issues are resolved. &#8220;Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!&#8221; Trump criticized China for failing to curb the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. despite promises of harsh penalties for drug dealers. He claimed the drugs, largely entering through Mexico, are at unprecedented levels, announcing a 10% tariff hike on Chinese imports, above any additional tariffs, until the issue is addressed. &#8220;Thank you for your attention to this matter,&#8221; he said in a separate post.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42058282/trumps-tariffs-could-have-severe-consequences-for-us-defense-sector-beijing-adviser-warns">raised concerns</a> among economists and industry experts. Ding Yifan, a researcher at China&#8217;s State Council's Development Research Center, warned that such tariffs could significantly impact the U.S. economy, particularly the defense sector.
Moreover, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">Goldman Sachs economist</a>&nbsp;predicted that a universal tariff could push inflation back to 3%, complicating the Federal Reserve&#8217;s efforts to keep inflation at 2%.
Renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42058282/trumps-tariffs-could-have-severe-consequences-for-us-defense-sector-beijing-adviser-warns">cautioned against oversimplifying</a> Trump&#8217;s tariff strategies, emphasizing that the issue is complex and requires a nuanced analysis. While Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals are likely to hurt companies with international supply chains, others like those in the software or entertainment industry like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) that don&#8217;t sell physical products are likely to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/42144357/5-stocks-to-buy-before-tariffs-kick-in">remain protected</a> from any negative impact. Companies that have reliable production units outside China are also likely to benefit, these include names like AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>).

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
