NBA legend Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, known popularly as Shaq, has consented to a $11 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit tied to his promotion of the Astrals non-fungible token (NFT) project.
What Happened: After a year of legal wrangling, O&#8217;Neal agreed to the compensation to have the lawsuit dismissed, The Block <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/327317/nba-star-shaq-agrees-to-pay-11-million-to-settle-long-simmering-class-action-lawsuit-over-promoting-nfts?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social">reported </a>Tuesday. 
At the center of the lawsuit is a collection of 10,000 NFT 3D avatars based on Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) and a decentralized autonomous organization for incubating innovative projects.

Why It Matters: The suit alleged that O'Neal, who was the face of Astrals, used his celebrity influence to encourage investors to purchase the NFTs. The lawsuit further claimed that O'Neal abandoned the project following the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;FTX,&nbsp;causing a significant drop in the value of the NFTs.
The plaintiffs&nbsp;claimed that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/05/32545657/shaquille-oneal-in-legal-trouble-again-for-alleged-unregistered-token-sale-but-this-time-n" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;O'Neal was aware of potential regulatory concerns&nbsp;</a>surrounding the selling of unregistered securities but still promoted them to expand his cryptocurrency business.
Earlier in August, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40455811/nba-legend-shaq-scores-partial-victory-in-astrals-nft-legal-case-but-his-battle-is-not-ove">dismissed the claim</a> that O'Neal was a "control person," but upheld the allegation that Astrals sold &#8220;unregistered securities.&#8221;
Price Action: The floor price of Astrals NFT rose 115% in the last 24 hours to 0.153 SOL, or $36.39 at current market prices, as per NFT marketplace Magic Eden. 
The NFT market recorded an 85% jump in sales volume for the week ending Nov. 17, as per the NFT market tracking platform CryptoSlam, coinciding with the gains in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and the broader cryptocurrency market.

Amid growing tariff concerns, CEO of Tesla&#8217;s Chinese rival Xpeng (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) Brian Gu has expressed the company&#8217;s resolve to remain competitive in the global market. Gu emphasized the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing driving systems and improving customer experiences.
What Happened: Despite the challenges posed by tariffs, Gu remains optimistic about Xpeng&#8217;s prospects in the European market. He described Europe as a significant long-term opportunity and highlighted the company&#8217;s commitment to expanding its local presence and capabilities, CNBC<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/20/xpeng-have-to-do-whatever-it-takes-to-stay-competitive.html"> reported</a> on Wednesday.
Gu acknowledged the complexities of operating a global business, especially with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41143690/european-tariffs-on-chinas-ev-makers-could-backfire"> potential tariff increases</a> under the incoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913456/trump-vows-200-tariffs-on-chinese-made-cars-in-mexico-warns-of-us-auto-industry-collapse-if-kamala-h">Donald Trump administration.</a> He emphasized the necessity for Xpeng to adapt by exploring more localized business models and expanding into other promising regions like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

This growth was accompanied by a 24.5% sequential rise in total revenues.

Tesla's Chinese Rival Xpeng Vows To 'Do Whatever It Takes To Be Competitive' Amid Donald Trump's Tariff Threat

Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) announced plans to remove Wrapped Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WBTC</a>) from its trading platform, citing &#8220;listing standards,&#8221; with trading suspension scheduled for Dec. 19.
What Happened: The move follows the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40829437/coinbase-launches-cbbtc-bridging-bitcoin-to-ethereum-and-base-networks">cryptocurrency exchange&#8217;s recent launch</a> of its own wrapped Bitcoin product, cbBTC, on the Base blockchain.
&#8220;We have moved our wBTC order books to limit-only mode. Limit orders can be placed and canceled, and matches may occur,&#8221; the exchange said on X.
Wrapped Bitcoin, introduced in January 2019, is an ERC-20 token that represents Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) blockchain, maintaining a 1:1 peg with Bitcoin&#8217;s value.
The Wrapped Bitcoin protocol ensures that each wBTC token is backed by an equivalent amount of Bitcoin through a network of merchants and custodians. This system allows users to transfer liquidity between Bitcoin and Ethereum networks in a decentralized manner, making it a vital bridge between the two largest cryptocurrency ecosystems.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards. Based on our most recent review, Coinbase will suspend trading for wBTC (wBTC) on December 19, 2024, on or around 12pm ET.

The token, developed by BitGo, enables Bitcoin holders to participate in Ethereum&#8217;s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Why It Matters: Market data <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/wrapped-bitcoin/">according</a> to CoinMarketCap shows Wrapped Bitcoin trading at $92,645.57, marking a 1.15% increase over the past 24 hours and a significant 149.29% gain over the past year. The token maintains a 24-hour trading volume of $517.86 million.
Wrapped tokens have become increasingly important in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, allowing assets to operate across different blockchains. Coinbase&#8217;s decision to launch cbBTC signals growing competition in the wrapped token market, as major exchanges develop proprietary solutions for cross-chain Bitcoin transactions.

Hollywood has witnessed seismic shifts in its business model, from the era of DVD dominance to the advent of streaming giants like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). Now, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> is poised to usher in yet another wave of disruption.
What Happened: Last week, speaking at CNBC's Delivering Alpha Summit, Ben Affleck downplayed fears of AI replacing human creativity. He spoke about how the technology is more likely to reshape the costlier, less creative aspects of filmmaking.
AI &#8220;will lower the barrier to entry and allow more voices to be heard,&#8221; Affleck said, envisioning a future where the technology democratizes the industry.

Following his remarks, Workweek's Trung Phan shared a clip of Affleck&#8217;s co-star from &#8220;Good Will Hunting,&#8221; Matt Damon, where the actor can be seen discussing how streaming replaced DVD economics.
Damon was discussing the topic while appearing on &#8220;Hot Ones&#8221; in 2021. At the time, he noted how the decline of DVDs, once a major revenue source for studios, changed the types of movies that could be made.
&#8220;The DVD was a huge part of our business, of our revenue stream, and technology has just made that obsolete,&#8221; Damon can be heard saying.

Why It Matters: AI's potential applications in Hollywood extend far beyond scriptwriting and editing.
From predictive analytics for box office success to digital casting and de-aging actors, AI promises to reshape every stage of filmmaking.
Companies like Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) have already begun integrating AI into their operations, using tools to predict audience preferences and optimize marketing campaigns.
Last year, reports emerged that the artificial intelligence company Metaphysic was assisting Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, the iconic stars of the 1994 classic &#8220;Forrest Gump,&#8221; in being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/01/30654828/the-rise-of-artificial-intelligence-in-movies-how-the-tom-cruise-deepfake-company-is-helpin">digitally de-aged for a film</a>.
It was also reported that Disney plans to use its Industrial Light and Magic division to digitally de-age Harrison Ford in &#8220;Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,&#8221; for a scene in which he battles Nazis.
For investors, AI presents opportunities reminiscent of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/04/31801202/when-netflix-founders-tried-selling-the-company-to-amazon-blockbuster-they-laughed-us-out-o">early days of streaming</a> when Netflix disrupted Blockbuster — the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/20/10/17960503/heres-how-much-investing-1-000-in-netflix-when-blockbuster-went-bankrupt-would-be-worth-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">movie rental chain that went bankrupt in 2010</a>. 
The entertainment industry is no stranger to disruptive shifts, and AI could redefine how content is created, marketed, and consumed. Studios investing in AI-based platforms, such as Cinelytic or ScriptBook, are leading this transformation.

Netflix Made DVDs Obsolete By Popularizing Streaming. Ben Affleck Thinks AI Will Change The Face Of Hollywood Next

Elon Musk, the CEO of&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has expressed confidence in sending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starship">uncrewed Starships to Mars</a> within two years, carrying Tesla Cybertrucks and Optimus robots as payloads.
What Happened:&nbsp;Musk said in a post on X that he is "highly confident" that SpaceX can send "several uncrewed&nbsp;Starships to Mars in 2&nbsp;years."
"If those ships don't&nbsp;increment the crater count on&nbsp;Mars, then crewed ships can&nbsp;be sent in 4 years."
As far as payloads are&nbsp;concerned, Musk said it will include Cybertrucks&nbsp;and Optimus robots.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has been on a record-breaking run since Donald Trump was elected president earlier this month.
The leading cryptocurrency has been hitting new all-time highs practically every day, with the latest upswing pushing it beyond $94,000 for the first time.
Interestingly, the bullish run has made one Bitcoin worth more than the average retirement savings of Americans.
What happened: According to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s most recent Survey of Consumer Finances, the median retirement savings in the U.S. <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/scf23.pdf">was </a>estimated to be $86,900. This reflected an increase of 15% from 2019.&nbsp;
A separate <a href="https://www.transamericainstitute.org/docs/library/research/post-pandemic-retirement-realities-multigenerational-workforce-press-release-july-2023.pdf?sfvrsn=7b892af_8">study </a>by Transamerica Center in 2023 revealed that millennials, those born between 1981 and 1996, saved only $49,000 in retirement funds, while Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, saved $82,000.

In contrast, the value of Bitcoin has leapfrogged 23,853% in the last decade, rising from $387 in Nov. 2014 to $92,696 as of this writing.
So, if someone bought $1,000 in Bitcoin ten years ago, their investment would now be worth $239,524, more than twice the estimated retirement savings highlighted above.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Additionally, a report disclosed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38466698/are-you-saving-enough-to-be-in-the-top-3-of-retirees-heres-how-much-you-need">the average U.S. adult estimates</a> needing $1.46 million to retire &#8220;comfortably&#8221; in 2024, with Gen Z and Millennials needing more than $1.6 million.&nbsp;
If they invested around $10,000 of their wealth into Bitcoin 10 years ago, their stockpile would have been worth more than $2.39 million today.&nbsp;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $92,696, up 1.01% 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..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Major Chinese fund companies have&nbsp;announced a reduction in fees&nbsp;for a selection&nbsp;of equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move intensifies the price war in the booming $400 billion ETF market.
What Happened: The fee cuts come a day after&nbsp;Wu Qing, China&#8217;s chief securities regulator, expressed support for index investment and fee reform in the fund industry. ETFs, which&nbsp;typically track an index and&nbsp;trade on exchanges, have seen significant growth this year as investors turn away from underperforming active fund managers, Reuters&nbsp;reported on Wednesday.
China Asset Management Co&nbsp;(ChinaAMC), leading the ETF market, announced it would reduce fees on&nbsp;eight ETF products, including the&nbsp;160 billion yuan China SSE 50 ETF. The management fee will drop to 0.15% from 0.5%, and the custodian fee to 0.05% from 0.1%.

Other fund companies such as&nbsp;E Fund Management,&nbsp;Huatai-PineBridge Fund Management,&nbsp;Harvest Fund Management, and&nbsp;HuaAn Fund Management&nbsp;have made similar announcements. This trend is expected to attract more capital into the market, with net inflows into China&#8217;s onshore ETFs surpassing 900 billion yuan this year, according to BNP Paribas. 
Why It Matters: The fee reduction by major Chinese fund companies comes amid a backdrop of economic measures and market fluctuations. In October, investor sentiment was dampened when anticipated large-scale economic stimulus measures from Chinese authorities did not materialize. Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41316058/chinese-stocks-etfs-struggle-as-multi-trillion-yuan-stimulus-hopes-fall-short-yet-m">signals of increased fiscal support,</a> the absence of a substantial economic package left traders underwhelmed.
Furthermore, China&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates in late October led to a decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41426987/us-listed-chinese-etfs-drop-after-beijing-cuts-interest-rates">several China-focused ETFs</a> in the U.S. This move, aimed at stimulating economic growth, instead raised concerns among investors about its broader implications.
Meanwhile, U.S.-listed Chinese ETFs have been providing American investors exposure to Chinese equities, bonds, or a combination of both, while being traded on U.S. stock exchanges. These ETFs are a convenient way for investors to gain diversified exposure to China&#8217;s economic growth without the complexities of directly investing in foreign markets. According to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>), Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>), and iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>) are some of the popular names on the list.
