Shares of Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) declined in premarket trading on Monday, just weeks after the company announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39693554/why-this-lennar-analyst-is-no-longer-bearish-after-6b-spinoff-plan">spin off its land assets</a>.
Although the company is poised to benefit from its greater exposure to entry level and first-time buyers as the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, this is already reflected in the stock valuation, according to Goldman Sachs.
The Lennar Analyst: Susan Maklari downgraded the rating for Lennar from Buy to Neutral, while reducing the price target from $180 to $174.
The Lennar Thesis: Following the recent outperformance, the stock may remain range bound in the near term, Maklari said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Lennar's exposure to entry level is likely to result in margin expansion, the analyst stated. She explained that Lennar is focusing on adding affordable supply to the market, targeting first-time buyers, and shifting to a manufacturing-based strategy, which boosts efficiency.
"As rates move lower, easing financial incentives, we believe profitability could expand, supporting earnings and greater cash generation," Maklari wrote.
Lennar's proposed spinoff of owned land for $6 billion to $8 billion "could drive a re-rating of LEN over time, as the market assesses the company's new profile if and when the spin is completed, as well as decisions around capital allocation, notably shareholder returns," she added.
LEN Price Action: Shares of Lennar had declined by 1.5% to $168.39 at last check on Monday.

President Joe Biden has announced that<a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1815080881981190320"> he will not seek reelection in 2024</a>. In a letter posted on his official X account, Biden expressed his belief that stepping down is in the best interest of his party and the country.
&#8220;It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President&#8230; I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down,&#8221; he wrote. Biden has <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933">endorsed Vice </a><a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933">President Kamala Harris</a> for the Democratic presidential nomination, leading to potential shifts in the political landscape and regulatory environment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Impact on VanEck&#8217;s Solana ETF Proposal</h3>
So, what does this mean for the future of cryptocurrency? Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, recently confirmed that the firm's proposal for a Solana spot ETF is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39598039/vanecks-solana-etf-proposal-dependent-on-trumps-presidential-win-matthew-sigel-confirms">contingent on the outcome of the 2024 presidential elections</a>. The application deadline for the ETF is set for March 2025. Sigel stated, &#8220;Can confirm,&#8221; indicating the importance of the election results for the proposal&#8217;s success.

Analysts suggest that the ETF&#8217;s approval chances would increase if a Republican administration, like former president Donald Trump, replaced the current leadership, potentially appointing a new SEC chair. Current SEC Chair Gary Gensler has been critical of various crypto regulations, which has drawn significant attention from the industry.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Regulatory Challenges and Market Reactions</h3>
The likelihood of VanEck's Solana ETF approval is closely tied to potential changes in SEC leadership. Gensler has been vocal against parts of the FIT21 Crypto Bill, which he believes could create regulatory gaps. This stance has faced criticism from the crypto community, including from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38814794/billionaire-shark-mark-cuban-warns-the-secs-anti-crypto-stance-could-cost-biden-the-electi">renowned investor Mark Cuban</a>. The regulatory environment remains a critical factor in the approval process for such ETFs.

President Joe Biden's announcement not to seek reelection has caused ripple effects in betting markets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39866311/biden-inspired-boden-meme-coin-keeps-plummeting-but-harris-newsom-coins-surge-on-nominee-s">PoliFi meme coins.</a>
What Happened: Polymarket trader &#8216;AnonBidenBull&#8217; lost $2 million betting on the President to become the Democratic nominee for the 2024 election, winning the Presidential election and the popular vote.

Intuitive Surgical Unusual Options Activity For July 22

‘Dogecoin Killer' Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has treaded water over the past week despite a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39880421/bitcoin-dominates-ethereum-rebounds-heres-how-much-crypto-funds-raked-in-last-week">wider market rally</a>, raising curiosity if the meme coin remains bullish or bearish.
What Happened: Shibburn data shows the burn rate spiking 545.3% in the past 24 hours, with a total of 10.3 million SHIB coins burned. Over the past 19 hours, four transactions burned above 1.4 million coins.
The Shiba Inu community officially petitioned Binance to burn SHIB, requesting the Shib Army to show support by signing the petition. The petition, initiated by Labib, a ShibArmy member, targets 50,000 signatures with 111 signatures received until July 19.
It <a href="https://www.change.org/p/persuade-binance-to-implement-a-daily-1-burn-of-shiba-inu-token-transactions?recruiter=1343953457&amp;recruited_by_id=b9d8ee30-4432-11ef-986d-6fd3973e2a66&amp;utm_source=share_petition&amp;utm_campaign=petition_dashboard_share_modal&amp;utm_medium=copylink">asks</a> Binance to implement a daily burn mechanism of 1% for all Shiba Inu token transactions. This step is taken in the interest of pushing the meme coin's price higher for long-term sustainability.
Price Action: In the past 24 hours, SHIB is down 0.4%, bringing its seven-day losses to 1.7%>

Why It Matters: Shibariumscan data shows daily transactions up to 6,350 as of July 21 from 3,330 as of July 20. New accounts almost doubled from 11 to 21 during the same period.
Whale Alert data shows 2.7 trillion SHIB, worth $48.3 million, <a href="https://x.com/whale_alert/status/1814438934341931394?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1814438934341931394%7Ctwgr%5Eaa390cfeeb44a2c91f023daf59f6e69c453062ee%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcoinist.com%2Fdogecoin-and-shiba-inu-whales-withdraw-millions-from-robinhood-whats-going-on%2F">transferred</a> from Robinhood to an unknown wallet on the weekend. The wallet address is one of the largest SHIB holders, currently owning 36.6 trillion SHIB tokens, worth $654 million. With one whale address holding a significant amount of SHIB, any coin movements could significantly affect the price of SHIB.
Benzinga's technical analysis data shows Shiba Inu's RSI at 66.7 on July 21. The 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the SHIB chart is higher than the 100-day SMA, suggesting a bearish long-term trend. It also implies that recent price action has been less bullish than medium-term price action.
What&#8217;s Next: The influence of meme coins is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.
