JOYY Q4 Outlook: Expects Net Revenues To Be Between $546M-$563M Vs. $564.667M

In a big legal win for the cryptocurrency industry, a U.S. appeals court has overturned sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department on popular cryptocurrency mixer, Tornado Cash, causing the price of the associated coin to zoom 430%.
What Happened: A three-judge panel from the Fifth Circuit Appeals Court in New Orleans on Tuesday <a href="https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rWi4YTmtAT5I/v0">concluded </a>that&nbsp;the Office of Foreign Assets&nbsp;Control (OFAC) had exceeded its authority, reversing a lower court&#8217;s decision and granting a partial summary judgment in favor of Tornado Cash users.
The judges ruled that Tornado Cash&#8217;s immutable smart contracts do not qualify as&nbsp;property under the International Emergency&nbsp;Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—a federal law that grants sweeping powers to the president to control economic transactions—as they cannot be owned or controlled. 
&#8220;We hold that&nbsp;Tornado Cash's immutable smart contracts&nbsp;(the lines of privacy-enabling software&nbsp;code) are not the "property"&nbsp;of a foreign national or&nbsp;entity, meaning (1) they cannot&nbsp;be blocked under IEEPA, and&nbsp;(2) OFAC overstepped its congressionally&nbsp;defined authority,&#8221; Circuit Judge Don Willett wrote in the judgment.
The Treasury Department didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

The ruling was cheered by influential names in the industry like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and the company&#8217;s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal who described it as a &#8220;historic win for crypto.&#8221;
&#8220;Proud of this outcome. The courts ruled in our favor that the Treasury Department cannot sanction open-source code.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The ruling followed a turbulent period for Tornado Cash, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36190138/vivek-ramaswamy-thinks-penalizing-tornado-cash-mixer-was-illegal-and-unconstitutional" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blacklisted</a> by the department in 2022, making it illegal for U.S. citizens, residents, and companies to use the platform.
In August 2023, the platform&#8217;s founders,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/34010989/tornado-cash-founders-indicted-for-1b-crypto-laundering-1-arrest-1-at-large">Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, were indicted</a>&nbsp;for allegedly laundering over $1 billion through the cryptocurrency mixer, including funds from the notorious North Korean cybercrime group, Lazarus Group.
Critics argued that Tornado Cash is software, not an individual and that the Treasury had overstepped its authority by sanctioning the mixing service. This sentiment was echoed by Vivek Ramaswamy, a prominent member of the incoming Donald Trump administration, who argued that penalizing an entire protocol was &#8220;illegal and unconstitutional.&#8221;
For the curious, a cryptocurrency tumbler, also known as a mixer, is a service that mixes cryptocurrency funds to make them harder to trace. The goal is to improve the anonymity of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), whose public ledgers are otherwise easily available.
Price Action: Following the ruling, the price of the associated token Tornado Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TORN</a>) exploded 430%, 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>.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on Tuesday revamped its referral program across North America, as it looks to race to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41443856/tesla-offers-discounts-of-up-to-4k-on-select-model-3-y-vehicles-as-it-looks-to-avert-1st-ever-declin">delivery target of 515,000 vehicles</a> in the fourth quarter.
What Happened: Tesla's updated referral program includes enhanced discounts and rewards, with specific incentives for the Cybertruck.
The changes were announced via one of Tesla&#8217;s official accounts on X.

Referrers in the U.S. can earn up to $10,000 via referrals, while Canadian participants can earn up to CAD13,000. Participants also have a chance&nbsp;to win an invitation to&nbsp;a future Tesla event.
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s enhanced referral program is part of a broader strategy to boost sales in the fourth quarter.

SMCI Stock Slumps 10% As Loan Agreements With Banks End Amid Ongoing Nasdaq Challenges

China's Huawei Technologies will replace Google's Android with its in-house developed operating system in smartphones and tablets starting next year.
What Happened: On Tuesday, at a live-streamed event, Huawei announced that its Mate 70 series will debut HarmonyOS Next, the latest iteration of the company's operating system, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-26/huawei-plans-to-drop-android-entirely-in-gadgets-from-2025?leadSource=uverifywall">reported</a> Bloomberg.
The Mate 70 and Mate 70 Pro will be available on Dec. 4, marking the company's first flagship phones without any reliance on Android, the open-source OS by Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
Richard Yu, chairman of Huawei's consumer business group said that the Mate 70 series is expected to deliver a 40% performance boost over its predecessor. The device has a starting price of $760 (5,499 yuan) for the 6.7-inch model.

Meanwhile, the HarmonyOS Next will take another two to three months to improve user experience, but the plans remain to integrate it into future devices.
The Mate 70 series is expected to include Huawei's in-house Kirin chips, although their performance might lag behind those of competitors like Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) and MediaTek.
Huawei has forecasted production of more than 10 million units over the product&#8217;s life cycle, indicating strong expectations for demand.

Why It Matters: The new devices aim to compete directly with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in China&#8217;s premium smartphone market.
In the third quarter of this year, Huawei&#8217;s market share in China increased to 15.3%, up from 8.6% last year. This development marked it as a strong rival to Cupertino in the high-end smartphone arena.
Earlier this year, Huawei also surpassed Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) in global <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">foldable smartphone</a> shipments.
Meanwhile, Google generates billions from Android, mainly via the Play Store. In the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">third quarter of 2024</a>, Google Services reported $76.5 billion in revenue, a 13% increase year-over-year.
Moreover, the decision to move away from Android is significant considering the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42132104/huawei-to-launch-mate-70-smartphone-with-advanced-homegrown-chip-challenging-apple-in-china-amid-us-sanctions-report">U.S. sanctions</a> that have limited Huawei's access to critical technologies. Other Chinese tech companies are seeking ways to reduce their reliance on foreign technology.
Price Action: As of this writing, Alphabet's Class A shares rose 0.047% in after-hours trading to $169.20, while Class C shares increased by 0.11% to $170.80. During Tuesday's regular session, Class A shares closed up 0.88% at $169.12, and Class C shares ended 0.70% higher at $170.62, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Apple&#8217;s stock gained 0.94% on Tuesday, closing at $235.06, and saw an additional 0.20% rise in after-hours trading. Since the year began, Apple stock has risen 26.62%, more than the Nasdaq 100 index's 26.47% gain in the same period.

Vance: &#8216;Hillbilly Elegy&#8217; Author, Bitcoin Holder, First Millennial VP Pick And More</a>
Why It Matters: Vance is set to become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39799850/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-j-d-vance-hillbilly-elegy-author-bitcoin-holder-first-mi">first millennial VP</a> for a major party in a presidential race.

Trump&#8217;s critic turned running mate, Vance had publicly called the President-elect &#8220;reprehensible&#8221; and said that he is worried about his political ideology, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/07/15/jd-vance-trump-criticism/">reported</a> the Washington Post.
The senator brushed off the past criticism of Trump in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jd-vance-addresses-past-criticism-trump-after-hes-chosen-vp-bought-medias-lies-distortions">his interviews</a> before the election. &#8220;I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind,&#8221; Vance said.

Donald Trump's presidential victory gave an unprecedented boost to the cryptocurrency market, pushing major assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to new highs.&nbsp;
However, the bull market has also managed to draw attention back to those altcoins that have struggled to gain traction this year.
What happened: Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>), now rebranded to POL, has been one of the biggest benefactors, surging over 61% over the last month. The token climbed to a five-month high earlier this week.
In fact, the coin&#8217;s 30-day gains have significantly exceeded those of blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which rose nearly 36%.
Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez foresaw strong upside potential for POL, based on multiple bullish indicators.
In an X post on Monday, Martinex highlighted that despite the uptick, only about 15% of POL holders were in profit, reducing the possibility of immediate sell-offs.

Furthermore, on-chain activity showed promise, with active addresses, transaction volume, and whale transactions all experiencing spikes.
In fact, whales have been on an accumulation spree, scooping millions of POL tokens.
With no "major" selling pressure and surging whale interest, Martinez issues a bold forecast.
"I believe that POL consolidates in a multi-year descending triangle, and a weekly close above $0.7973 could trigger a rally to $15.27 or $36.17,&#8221; he said.
This would amount to a staggering upside from the current level, in the range of 2725%-6592%.

Several technical indicators also flashed a bullish signal for POL.&nbsp;
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (MAs), flashed a "Buy" signal, according to <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/POLYGUSD/technicals/">data </a>from TradingView.
Additionally, most MAs, including exponential and simple, gave a bullish prediction.&nbsp;
That said, the derivatives market anticipated price declines as the number of traders levered short on the coin exceeded those placing bullish bets, data from the Long/Short Ratio showed.
Price Action: At the time of writing, POL was trading at $0.5405, down 2,75% 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>. The coin has lagged other cryptocurrencies in 2024, falling over 46% year-to-date.&nbsp;

Crypto's Next Mega-Rocket? Analyst Forecasts Insane 2725%-6600% Surge For This Coin

The incoming Donald Trump administration is reportedly planning to extend the regulatory power of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to oversee a major portion of the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: The&nbsp;CFTC's role could soon expand&nbsp;to include the regulation of&nbsp;spot markets for major assets such as&nbsp;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>), along&nbsp;with the exchanges that facilitate&nbsp;their trading, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-admin-eyes-cftc-lead-digital-asset-regulation">reported </a>on Tuesday, citing sources close to Trump&#8217;s team.
The proposed move is&nbsp;part of a broader effort&nbsp;by President-elect Trump and&nbsp;the Republican majorities in Congress&nbsp;to scale back the regulatory power that&nbsp;the SEC has exerted&nbsp;over the digital asset industry&nbsp;under President Joe Biden and his&nbsp;outgoing SEC chairman, Gary Gensler.
Key figures&nbsp;in the incoming Trump administration&nbsp;believe that less stringent regulation&nbsp;is needed to spur innovation&nbsp;in the cryptocurrency business.
If implemented, the move would give the CFTC, the regulator of the U.S. derivatives market, jurisdiction over a nearly $2.24 trillion market for Bitcoin and Ethereum, making up more than 70% of the global cryptocurrency market.
The CFTC didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation. A mail sent to Trump&#8217;s former campaign spokesman wasn&#8217;t responded to either.

Why It Matters: The CFTC has long considered digital assets like Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/03/31270768/ethereum-a-commodity-too-cftc-chair-thinks-it-should-be-added-to-gary-genslers-bitcoin-onl">as commodities</a>, as stated by CFTC Chair Rostin Benham in his testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee, in contrast to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37538468/sec-chair-gary-gensler-declines-to-say-whether-ethereum-is-a-commodity-its-about-circumsta">SEC&#8217;s ambiguous position</a> on the asset.
As for Bitcoin, the asset has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/06/27866983/commodity-or-security-new-bitcoin-insights-from-sec-chairman-gary-gensler">long been recognized as a commodity</a>, even by the SEC, protecting it against regulatory scrutiny.
The Trump transition team has been considering the creation of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">White House role dedicated to cryptocurrency policy</a>, indicating a potential shift in the U.S. government's approach to digital assets (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">source</a>).
This change in regulatory oversight comes as SEC Chair Gary Gensler, known for his stringent regulatory approach towards cryptocurrencies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">announced his resignation </a>effective from Trump&#8217;s inauguration day.
