Brandt&#8217;s comments reflect concerns over potential aggressive actions from not only the SEC but also the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the U.S. Treasury.

Why It Matters: Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38741679/joseph-lubin-accuses-sec-of-stifling-crypto-growth-amid-legal-showdown">accused the SEC of hampering the growth</a> of the crypto sector. His company, Consensys, is embroiled in a legal battle with the SEC over Ethereum&#8217;s classification.
This aggressive stance by the SEC seems linked to the regulator's concerns over the growing influence and capital within the crypto ecosystem, particularly following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Amid these developments, there have been a series of legal challenges and regulatory actions that have heightened tensions within the crypto market. A recent court ruling against Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37961500/coinbase-legal-setback-court-rejects-motion-to-dismiss-secs-securities-allegations">largely dismissed the company&#8217;s motion </a>to fend off SEC allegations of unregistered securities activity, particularly concerning its staking program.
Furthermore, the market has seen significant volatility with major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38661166/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-dip-after-robinhood-gets-wells-notice-from-sec-analyst-says-eths"> experiencing price dips following regulatory scrutiny</a>.

Veteran Trader Peter Brandt Warns Of Impending Regulatory Crackdown On Crypto Staking: 'It's Going To Be A Bloodbath'

Piper Sandler analyst Craig Johnson has predicted a period of consolidation in the markets as they approach all-time highs. He noted an uptick in staples, utilities, and financials.
What Happened: During CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Last Call&#8221; on Thursday, Johnson reflected upon the recent market activities. Dow Jones picked up gains for the seventh session in a row by picking up 331.37 points, S&amp;P 500 jumped over 5,000 in a month and Nasdaq continued its pace for the longest win streak in three months with 0.27% gain.
Johnson said, &#8220;For 2024, we are going to be in this high-level consolidation range&#8230;We think we&#8217;re going to be chopping around and consolidating around.&#8221;
&#8220;Because as we look into the internals of this market&#8230;we&#8217;re seeing a pick-up in staples. We&#8217;re seeing a pick-up in utilities. We&#8217;re seeing a pick-up in financials.&#8221;

Piper Sandler Predicts 'High-Level Consolidation' As Market Nears All-Time Highs: 'We're Seeing A Pick Up In Financials'

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) miners may heave a sigh of relief as the network experienced its largest negative difficulty adjustment since November 2022.&nbsp;
What Happened: The Bitcoin blockchain underwent its fourth negative difficulty adjustment for the year, according to CryptoQuant's Head of Research Julio Moreno, making it easier for the halving-battered sector to produce blocks and generate new Bitcoins.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</figure>
The mining difficulty is adjusted every 2.016 blocks, or roughly two weeks, to ensure block production time remains at 10 minutes. It is positively correlated with hash rate, the computational power dedicated by miners.
The latest 5.7% drop in difficulty comes as a likely response to the 10% decline in the 7-day moving average of the hash rate from 655 EH/s on the halving day to 586 EH/s as of May 10, <a href="https://data.hashrateindex.com/network-data/btc">according</a> to Hash Rate Index.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: The quadrennial halving that slashed block rewards, severely impacted miners' revenue streams. CryptoQuant's Moreno noted, "As revenue has declined sharply after the halving, Miners are currently underpaid by the most since March 2020, the COVID crash."&nbsp;
The loss in earnings prompted many participants, particularly those operating on a small scale, to turn off their machines and abandon the market. This caused a hash rate decline and subsequently led to a negative difficulty adjustment.
The sentiment was echoed by Luxor mining pool CEO Nick Hansen who reportedly told <a href="https://decrypt.co/230133/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-plummeting-why">Decrypt</a>, "If there isn't enough margin for miners to make a profit, they turn off, which causes the hash rate to go down.&#8221;
That said, CEO of mining firm Optiminer Scott Noris pointed out that this bodes well for the sector&#8217;s future growth. "The miners who planned properly will grow or the ones who turned off will get newer tech and find cheaper energy while everyone waits for the price to reflect the halving," he told Decrypt.
With difficulty lowered and competition lessened, mining costs could decrease, providing temporary relief for the sector.
Miners earn the majority of their revenues through fixed subsidies from every block produced. Halvings attack this very component severely, as each occurrence reduced rewards by 50%.&nbsp;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading up 2.81% at $62919.46, 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>.

Bitcoin Is Getting Less Difficult To Mine After Halving — But Is That A Good Or Bad Sign?

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), has accused President Joe Biden of actively working to stifle the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and cryptocurrency industry in the United States.
What Happened: Hoskinson, in a video posted on social media platform X on Thursday, criticized the Biden administration for its alleged efforts to &#8220;destroy the American cryptocurrency industry,&#8221; <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/president-joe-biden-trying-kill-crypto-says-cardano-founder">reported</a> Cointelegraph.
The Cardano founder pointed out that the U.S. government has been detrimental to the crypto industry through various means, including restricted access to bank accounts and the Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s policy of regulation by enforcement. He also criticized the White House for obstructing the legislative process.
"A vote for Biden is a vote against the American cryptocurrency industry," Hoskinson said.
Hoskinson&#8217;s comments were in response to a statement from the White House, indicating that President Biden would veto legislation aimed at overturning SEC guidelines that discourage banks from holding crypto assets.
"The [Trump] administration had its issues but mostly ignored our industry. The Biden administration has engaged in a coordinated effort to kill crypto," Hoskinson said.

He also criticized the SEC for using outdated legislation that he believes should not apply to new and emerging asset classes. Hoskinson cited other countries such as Switzerland, Singapore, and Dubai, which have welcomed crypto companies and reaped the benefits of substantial investments.
Notably, Hoskinson&#8217;s comments were challenged by a Twitter user who pointed out that the Trump administration had also been unsupportive of crypto. Hoskinson, however, stood by his claims, asserting that the Biden administration&#8217;s stance was &#8220;completely wrong.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The Biden administration&#8217;s approach to cryptocurrency has been a subject of debate and scrutiny. The House of Representatives recently voted in favor of a resolution seeking to overturn a controversial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38733156/house-challenges-sec-over-crypto-custody-rules-biden-vows-blockade">SEC cryptocurrency accounting directive</a>, indicating a growing divide between legislative preferences and executive defense of regulatory measures.
Earlier in March, a poll revealed that former President Donald Trump was the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37724562/trump-or-biden-new-poll-reveals-which-2024-candidate-voters-with-crypto-holdings-surprisin">top choice for U.S. voters</a> who own cryptocurrencies. This indicates a potential shift in voter sentiment towards the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the crypto industry.
On the other hand, Trump has recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38736514/donald-trump-says-you-better-vote-for-him-if-youre-pro-crypto-but-has-he-always-been-fine-">publicly endorsed cryptocurrency</a>, positioning it as a significant election issue, which contrasts with President Biden&#8217;s perceived unfamiliarity with the crypto world.

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Says Voting For Biden Is A 'Vote Against American Crypto Industry'

Apple Inc.&#8217;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) first-generation mixed-reality headset, Vision Pro, continues to gain popularity among surgeons in India, with over 30 &#8220;keyhole&#8221; surgeries performed using the device.
What Happened: Even Before Apple Vision Pro became available to users, some doctors, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36732169/apple-vision-pro-for-healthcare-surgeon-thinks-it-can-give-superpowers-to-doctors-i-am-excited">especially surgeons were enthusiastic</a> about the device&#8217;s applications in healthcare. Now it appears surgeons in India have widely adopted the headset for performing precise laparoscopic surgeries. 
At Chennai&#8217;s GEM Hospital, surgeons are employing the headset for laparoscopic surgeries, commonly referred to as &#8220;Keyhole&#8221; surgeries. Vision Pro has been used in over 30 procedures to date. Its applications have extended to treating conditions such as gall bladder problems, stomach cancer, fistulas, and hernias, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/05/09/more-doctors-are-embracing-apple-vision-pro-for-precision-keyhole-surgeries">reported</a> AppleInsider, citing FirstPost.

Tech Giant Reportedly Eyes Rivian Partnership</a>
Dr. R. Parthasarathy, the COO and surgical gastroenterologist at GEM Hospital in Chennai, has been a strong advocate for the Apple Vision Pro. &#8220;There is no delay in transmission,&#8221; he told&nbsp;The Hindu. &#8220;I had a better vision and was connected to the real world.&#8221;
&#8220;In addition, if I want to view a CT scan, I can simultaneously see it in the device itself. It will display the scan adjacent to the surgery screen,&#8221; he added. This aids in preventing the surgeon from needing to turn their head to view various monitors, a potential disruption to the surgical procedure. 
Dr. Parthasarathy also noted that the headset allows for easy communication with other medical professionals, enabling second opinions during surgeries.

Why It Matters: The&nbsp;Apple Vision Pro has been&nbsp;making waves in the medical community since its launch. In January,&nbsp;Dr. Rafael Grossmann, a pioneer in introducing Google Glass to the operating room, expressed excitement about the potential of the Apple Vision Pro in healthcare. 
He believed that the device could give doctors &#8220;superpowers&#8221; by providing data without the need for a nearby display.
Apple&#8217;s headset has previously&nbsp;been used in surgeries in&nbsp;Brazil, the U.S., and the U.K., where it replaced the HoloLens 2 for one surgeon, the report noted. 
Meanwhile, Vision Pro has also been making strides in other areas. Earlier this year, it was reported that the device could soon&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37926450/apple-vision-pro-could-soon-support-apple-pencil-allowing-air-drawing-to-become-reality">support the Apple Pencil</a>, allowing for air drawing. Additionally, Apple announced plans to launch the Vision Pro headset in China within the year, marking its entry into the virtual and augmented reality headset market.

Apple's Vision Pro Headset Becomes Surgeons' Tool Of Choice For 'Keyhole' Surgeries

Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/38680360/apples-secret-project-and-bold-move-towards-in-house-ai-chips-could-this-be-a-threat-to-nvidia">developing in-house artificial intelligence chips</a> even as it charts out plans to make a big splash in the AI arena, multiple media reports suggested recently. Against the backdrop, a bullish analyst weighed in on what this could mean for the tech giant.
Another Breadcrumb: &#8220;Cupertino [is] ready to play chess on AI..while others [are] playing checkers,&#8221; said Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives in a note. Apple&#8217;s rumored plan to put some of its most advanced high-end chips in data centers and use them to process its more advanced AI-based services was another breadcrumb, heading into the company&#8217;s annual World Wide Developers Conference, the analyst said.
&#8220;Apple is not going to be driving 45 MPH in the right lane when it comes to its AI strategy set to be unveiled at WWDC in June and will be riding in the left lane at 80 MPH,&#8221; Ives said. The company would be looking to monetize AI on the Services front, with developers the linchpin to this strategy, he said. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-artificial-intelligence-stocks">Best Artificial Intelligence Stocks</a>
Why It&#8217;s Important: Apple&#8217;s intent to use its advanced homegrown chips around AI gives the company more control over its AI plan, the Wedbush analyst said. He expects the company to build out a broader chip ecosystem for its AI strategy.
&#8220;In this AI Revolution [Tim] Cook and Apple are much further down the path of its own proprietary AI LLMs and technology than the Street expects in our view and this move is another tipping of the hand heading into what could be the biggest unveil event for Cook and Cupertino in roughly a decade,&#8221; Ives said.
What To Expect At WWDC: At the conclave of developers kickstarting on June 10, Apple will likely unveil its &#8220;long-awaited&#8221; AI strategy to its &#8220;golden installed base&#8221; and developer community, Ives said. The analyst expects an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38701300/apples-new-m4-ipads-more-powerful-than-any-ai-pc-today-set-to-boost-sales">AI-driven super-cycle, starting with the iPad lineup, </a>launched this week, and continuing through the AI-powered iPhone 16 this fall.
Ives also sees the launch of an AI App Store, which would be the foundational starting point for developers and AI apps over the coming years. Tapping into the 2.2 billion iOS devices worldwide along with an iPhone 16 model that will break new ground in AI and begin this next supercycle at Apple, he added.
Ives has an Outperform rating and a $250 price target for Apple.
Apple ended Thursday&#8217;s session up 1% at $184.57, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

DigitalOcean Likely To Report Higher Q1 Earnings; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

The UK has successfully navigated its way out of a recession, with the gross domestic product expanding by 0.6% in the first quarter, according to official figures released on Friday.
What Happened: The Office for National Statistics <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/gdpfirstquarterlyestimateuk/latest">revealed</a> that the UK&#8217;s GDP grew by 0.6% in the first quarter of 2024, marking the end of a mild recession that began in the second half of 2023. The UK&#8217;s production sector saw an expansion of 0.8% during this period, while construction experienced a 0.9% decline.
On a monthly basis, the economy grew by 0.4% in March, following a 0.2% expansion in February. The Bank of England&#8217;s Monetary Policy Committee has kept its main interest rate at 5.25% due to elevated indicators of persistent inflation.
Renowned economist Mohamed A. El-Erian, Chief Advisor at Allianz, emphasized the need for sustainable growth in light of the UK&#8217;s exit from the technical recession. He stated, &#8220;The UK is no longer in a technical recession. GDP grew by 0.6% in the first quarter, exiting the mild July-December contraction. Having said that, the economy's growth dynamics remain too timid — this after what already has been too long a period of growth that is insufficiently robust and insufficiently inclusive/sustainable.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The UK&#8217;s exit from recession comes at a time when global economic concerns are on the rise. In the U.S., for instance, there are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38109673/top-economist-flags-warning-signs-of-possible-recession-in-us-economy-it-certainly-">warning signs</a> of a possible recession, with the Economic Cycle Research Institute&#8217;s Leading Economic Index showing a downward trend. This has raised concerns about the vulnerability of the U.S. economy to shocks.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38720656/feds-rate-cut-could-trigger-stock-market-melt-up-warns-investment-strategist">monetary easing through interest rate cuts</a> could lead to a stock market &#8220;melt-up,&#8221; potentially propelling the S&amp;P 500 to record highs by the year&#8217;s end, according to investment strategist Ed Yardeni.
Earlier in the year, a survey revealed that only 25% of experts predict a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37063210/only-25-of-experts-predict-us-recession-in-2024-china-conflict-and-external-factors-pose-risk-survey">U.S. recession in 2024</a>, with potential triggers being external factors such as a conflict involving China, rather than domestic economic issues like increased interest rates.
Before the UK&#8217;s recent GDP growth, the country&#8217;s economy had officially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37976434/economic-downturn-hits-uk-as-2023-growth-plummets-to-0-1-setting-stage-for-pm-sunaks-pre-election-st">entered a recession</a>, raising concerns for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as he prepared for an upcoming election.
