Huawei Technologies Co. is reportedly set to release its most advanced domestically made chip in the Mate 70 series, amid ongoing U.S. sanctions.
What Happened: The new chip will power select models in Huawei's Mate 70 lineup, which is expected to launch next week, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/huaweis-chip-advances-threaten-apple-in-china-165a1e9e?mod=tech_lead_story">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The launch comes as Huawei continues to increase its market share in China, where it has seen a rise in consumer demand.
In the third quarter of this year, Huawei's market share in China grew to 15.3% from 8.6% last year, positioning it as a significant competitor to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in the high-end smartphone market.

The new chips, produced by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation or SMIC, leverage advanced technologies to improve performance and power efficiency, allowing Huawei to compete more effectively with Apple's offerings.
&#8220;The Mate 70 will continue to put more pressure on Apple in China,&#8221; said IDC vice president Bryan Ma, according to the report.
Although Huawei's chips still lag behind Apple's in terms of power efficiency, he noted that the difference may not be significant as long as users can get through the day without worrying about charging, the report noted.

Why It Matters: This development coincides with an earlier report that suggested Huawei plans to begin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42105518/huawei-to-reportedly-take-on-nvidia-with-mass-production-of-new-ai-chips-by-2025-amid-us-restrictions">mass production of its new AI chip</a>, the Ascend 910C, in early 2025, despite facing major challenges from U.S. trade restrictions.
In May earlier this year, the Joe Biden administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38682654/biden-administration-tightens-grip-on-chinas-huawei-revokes-key-export-licenses-from-us-chipmakers">canceled export licenses</a> for leading U.S. semiconductor companies such as Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), blocking them from providing essential chips to Huawei.
During the same month, a report from Counterpoint Research suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39107001/after-apple-huawei-takes-on-samsung-in-race-to-become-worlds-top-foldable-phone-maker-report">Huawei surpassed</a> Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) in global foldable smartphone shipments for the first quarter of 2024.
Last month, U.S. lawmakers called on the Department of Commerce to take stronger measures against Huawei&#8217;s reported efforts to evade sanctions by using a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41368844/us-lawmakers-demand-tougher-action-on-huaweis-secretive-chip-network">covert network of semiconductor facilities</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Apple shares increased by 0.02% to $228.56 in after-hours trading, following a 0.21% decline to $228.52 during Thursday's regular session, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Faces New Challenge As Huawei Advances Domestic Chip Tech In Mate 70 Series Amid US Sanctions: Report

Abacus intends to use net proceeds of the primary portion of the offering for its operations, including the purchase of life settlement policies, to support its overall business strategy, for working capital purposes, and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding previously announced and future acquisitions and repayment and refinancing of its indebtedness. Abacus will receive no proceeds from the secondary portion of the offering.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/trumps-doge-with-musk-at-the-helm-riddled-with-conflicts-of-interest-says-clinton-era-official-robert-reich/ar-AA1u3Joj">appointed DOGE</a> or the Department of Government Efficiency could potentially save $50–100 billion annually, according to Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyses, said Mario Georgiou, CFA and executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K.
What Happened: Georgiou said that DOGE &#8220;tasked with cutting wasteful spending, could play a role in improving fiscal discipline, but the scale of potential savings is expected to be modest.&#8221;
The U.S. federal budget deficit could reach $1.7 trillion in 2024, entailing mandatory spending on Social Security and Medicare, which accounts for over 60% of expenditures, Georgiou said. &#8220;Even if the DOGE achieves its objectives, potential savings are estimated at $50–100 billion annually, according to Congressional Budget Office analyses, which would have only a marginal impact compared to total federal outlays of approximately $6.7 trillion in 2024,&#8221; he added.
However, Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42069803/elon-musks-doge-job-applications-require-x-premium-subscription">who will co-lead DOGE</a> with Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy had called for &#8220;at least $2 trillion&#8221; in budget cuts last month while speaking at a rally in New York.
On Wednesday, Musk and Ramaswamy outlined their vision for DOGE, &#8220;The two of us will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings,&#8221; the duo wrote in a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/musk-and-ramaswamy-the-doge-plan-to-reform-government-supreme-court-guidance-end-executive-power-grab-fa51c020">WSJ</a> opinion piece on Nov. 20.
Why It Matters: In their opinion piece, the duo said &#8220;DOGE will help end federal overspending by aiming $500 billion-plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.&#8221;
Musk and Ramaswamy aimed a few expenditure programs along with $300 million provided to the other &#8220;progressive groups.&#8221; They mentioned $535 million allotted to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $1.5 billion in grants to Planned Parenthood annually.
Discretionary spending—where most inefficiencies and &#8220;waste&#8221; are typically identified, &#8220;constitutes a smaller portion of the budget and offers limited opportunities for impactful cuts​​,&#8221; Georgiou added.
Musk and Ramaswamy highlighted that several federal contracts have gone unexamined for years. They suggested that a temporary suspension of payments would facilitate comprehensive audits, resulting in substantial cost savings.
&#8220;The Pentagon recently failed its seventh consecutive audit, suggesting that the agency's leadership has little idea how its annual budget of more than $800 billion is spent.&#8221;

&#8220;We are focused on delivering cost savings for taxpayers,&#8221; the duo said in their piece.
Musk and Ramaswamy swiftly defended their stance on cutting the budgets of a few entitlement programs. &#8220;Critics claim that we can't meaningfully close the federal deficit without aiming for entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which require Congress to shrink. But this deflects attention from the sheer magnitude of waste, fraud, and abuse that nearly all taxpayers wish to end,&#8221; they added.

What Happened: Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas on Thursday, Paglia <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-lawsuits-quietly-go-away-after-gensler-steps-down-pantera-clo">said</a>, according to Cointelegraph that while the SEC won&#8217;t completely withdraw its claims, many cases will &#8220;quietly go away&#8221; with defendants paying settlements under &#8220;neither admit nor deny&#8221; terms.
&#8220;The regulator will get to make some level of a statement and get something for the value of time and energy spent,&#8221; Paglia said, noting this would be &#8220;very beneficial&#8221; for resolving the extensive litigation.
The comments come as President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s transition team actively shapes what appears to be a dramatically different approach to crypto regulation.

The billionaire Republican megadonor and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has expressed openness to selling a minority stake in the $65 billion hedge fund he established in 1990.
What Happened: Griffin has previously sold stakes in his ventures. Two years ago, Sequoia Capital acquired a stake in Citadel Securities for $1.15 billion, valuing the market maker at $22 billion. Recently, Citadel Securities received a $5 billion investment offer from a private equity firm, which Griffin mentioned would help the company remain private longer.
In an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/ken-griffin-says-he-s-open-to-selling-minority-stake-in-citadel">interview</a> with&nbsp;Bloomberg on Thursday at the Economic&nbsp;Club of New York, Griffin stated,&nbsp;"We would be open to&nbsp;the possibility of selling a&nbsp;minority stake in Citadel at&nbsp;some point in the future."
Griffin highlighted the challenges of public capital markets, stating,&nbsp;"We need to make being&nbsp;public in the United States&nbsp;a much more attractive proposition."&nbsp;
Despite the offer, Griffin did not confirm acceptance and ruled out taking Citadel Securities public soon. When considering potential partners, Griffin seeks firms similar to Sequoia that can enhance Citadel&#8217;s business operations.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Griffin, a prominent figure in the financial world, has built&nbsp;Citadel&nbsp;into a powerhouse with over $65 billion in assets. As a mega-donor to the Republican Party, he recently voiced concerns over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-policies-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies</a>, warning they could hinder U.S. competitiveness. 
In the past year, Citadel has achieved remarkable financial success, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/12/36365068/show-me-the-money-inside-ken-griffins-citadels-jaw-dropping-7-billion-return">returning $7 billion to clients </a>after a 30% profit surge. Citadel&#8217;s multistrategy fund, Wellington, has gained nearly 15% year-to-date, making it one of the top-performing hedge funds.
