Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong said other G20 nations are now examining Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserves following President Donald Trump&#8216;s establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through executive order.
What Happened: &#8220;Now that the U.S. is doing this I think like the rest of the G20 countries and central banks are all starting to look at this. It just kind of instantly legitimized it,&#8221; Armstrong said Monday on the Shawn Ryan Show. The CEO noted that Trump&#8217;s move represents a dramatic shift from government skepticism just five years ago.
Trump signed an executive order in March creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, funded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">entirely through existing government</a> Bitcoin holdings obtained via criminal and civil asset forfeiture proceedings. White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks confirmed the reserve contains approximately 200,000 Bitcoin worth roughly $17 billion, requiring no taxpayer funding.
The reserve operates similarly to existing U.S. strategic stockpiles of gold, oil, palladium and rare minerals. Armstrong emphasized this historical context, calling it &#8220;a huge moment&#8221; that legitimizes Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
Trump has positioned himself as &#8220;the first crypto president,&#8221; declaring America must lead in financial technology to maintain global power. The executive order also established a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile for other cryptocurrencies obtained through government proceedings.

Why It Matters: The G20 comprises 19 countries plus the European Union and the African Union, representing the world&#8217;s major economies, including China, Japan, Germany, and the UK. Armstrong&#8217;s comments suggest broader institutional adoption may follow US leadership.
Corporate Bitcoin adoption continues to expand. MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) leads with 607,770 Bitcoin, while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) holds 11,509 Bitcoin according to Bitcoin Treasuries data. Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp.

U.S. stock futures rose on Tuesday after ending on a mixed note on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher.
Despite a mixed close, the S&amp;P 500 posted its sixth day of record closing high, and the Nasdaq also notched an all-time high on Monday.
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee&#8217;s two-day meeting will begin today, ahead of its press conference, which will be held on Wednesday afternoon.
Investors await results from Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Procter &amp; Gamble Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), and Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) today.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.41% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 96.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

The SPY was up 0.23% at $638.40, while the QQQ advanced 0.42% to $570.54, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From Last Session:
On Monday, the energy and information technology sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed higher, bucking the trend as most sectors, including real estate, materials, and utilities, recorded losses.
This occurred as U.S. stocks settled mixed, with the S&amp;P 500 itself recording gains, as markets reacted to the U.S.-EU trade deal struck over the weekend.
The new agreement means the U.S. will impose a 15% tariff on EU imports like pharmaceuticals and automobiles, while certain sectors such as steel, aluminum, and copper will face steeper tariffs of up to 50%.
All three major indices closed the last week higher, with the 30-stock Dow gaining around 1.3% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq adding 1%. The broad market S&amp;P 500 climbed around 1.5% last week.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) jumped 3% after the U.S. announced lower-than-expected tariffs on European goods, including autos, and following CEO Elon Musk's revelation of a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung Electronics to produce next-generation chips.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior Economist Jeremy Siegel highlighted in his weekly commentary that the U.S. economy is still proving resilient despite global tensions and trade barriers.
However, he cautioned that investors should prepare for some economic drag as these tariffs take hold in the second half of the year. &#8220;The cumulative inflation impact from tariffs is likely to be modest, perhaps 1.5% to 2% over two years, while the GDP drag remains limited and manageable,&#8221; he said.
He explained that the market has come to terms with this dynamic and continues to look ahead to more powerful, longer-term forces, particularly the ongoing AI.
&#8220;I think the market rightly assesses this will buoy productivity and earnings. In particular, the immediate expensing provision for capital equipment that came in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill' is a meaningful tailwind for corporate investment, counteracting some negative tariff effects.&#8221;
According to him, earnings season is not showing signs of a breakdown. While there is some cautious forward guidance, the tone has been far more constructive than feared. &#8220;I'm encouraged by year-end earnings estimates, which remain stable or even modestly positive. I continue to believe we are in a healthy bull market with no signs of internal deterioration,&#8221; he added.
From a valuation perspective, Siegel said that some argue markets are expensive.
&#8220;When measuring forward P/E ratios, we are increasingly pricing in next year's earnings, which are supported by strong productivity trends and expanding technology adoption. The 2025–2026 EPS outlook is solid, and while earnings might come down from lofty year-ahead outlooks, I continue to see upside in equities,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research also reiterated that the market rally has been &#8220;historic,&#8221; but it &#8220;likely has legs left.&#8221;

Stock Market Today: US Futures Rise Following S&P 500's 6-Days Of Record Close—Boeing, P&G, Starbucks Earnings In Focus

Stock of Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) surged 41.05% in Tuesday pre-market following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s (FDA) recommendation to lift the voluntary hold on Elevidys, Sarepta&#8217;s gene therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
What Happened: The FDA advised the removal of the voluntary hold on Elevidys, which had been implemented after the demise of an 8-year-old patient in Brazil. The FDA <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46676099/sarepta-therapeutics-stock-soars-after-fda-removes-hold-on-elevidys-for-some-patients">determined </a>that the death was unlikely to be related to treatment with Elevidys, the only approved gene therapy for Duchenne.
Sarepta&#8217;s CEO, Doug Ingram, expressed his contentment with the FDA&#8217;s prompt and comprehensive review, leading to the recommendation to recommence the distribution of Elevidys for ambulatory patients. However, the therapy for non-ambulatory patients continues to be on hold, as talks regarding the company&#8217;s risk-mitigation strategy are still underway with the FDA.
Following this development, Sarepta&#8217;s shares closed Monday with a 16.18% increase at $13.86.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/07/46678150/cathie-wood-goes-on-a-20m-bitmine-immersion-bargain-hunt-as-ark-trims-robinhood-and-pa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cathie Wood Goes On A $20M Bitmine Immersion Bargain Hunt As Ark Trims Robinhood And Palantir Stakes</a>
Why It Matters: This news comes as a significant development for Sarepta, especially considering the recent challenges the company has faced. The FDA had previously requested a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/07/46657622/fda-probes-death-of-8-year-old-who-received-sareptas-elevidys">voluntary suspension</a> of Elevidys distribution following the death of an 8-year-old boy who had received the therapy. This incident occurred on June 7, 2025, raising safety concerns about the therapy.
Furthermore, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) had issued a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46634492/sarepta-gets-thumbs-down-from-regulators-regarding-elevidys-gene-therapy">negative opinion</a> on the conditional marketing authorization (CMA) for Elevidys for ambulatory individuals aged three to seven years with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The FDA&#8217;s recommendation to lift the hold on Elevidys for certain patients is a positive step forward for Sarepta, potentially paving the way for the resumption of the therapy&#8217;s distribution and providing a boost to the company&#8217;s stock.
In another development, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARWR#NASDAQ">ARWR</a>) has publicly stated that Sarepta owes it $100 million which it must repay within 60 days.

Jeep, Chrysler owner Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) shared the financial results for the first half of 2025 as President Donald Trump's tariffs impacted the automaker's sales.
Check out the current price of<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/stla"> STLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: The company posted a revenue of €74.3 billion ($85.7 billion), down 13% YoY since H1 2024, Stellantis said in a press release published on Tuesday.&nbsp;
The company also updated its tariff impact to €1.5 billion ($1.73 billion) and posted a net loss of €2.3 billion ($2.66 billion). "The Company remains highly engaged with relevant policymakers, while continuing long-term scenario planning," Stellantis said.
In North America, net revenue was down 23%, which, the company says, happened due to production gaps caused by the Trump administration's tariffs on the auto industry. Sales were down in Europe as well for Stellantis, but the company experienced growth in South America.
"2025 is turning out to be a tough year, but also one of gradual improvement. Signs of progress are evident when comparing H1 2025 to H2 2024, in the form of improved volumes, Net revenues, and AOI, despite intensifying external headwinds," CEO Antonio Filosa said in the press release.
The company plans to launch over 10 new models in 2025 across multiple brands in the second half of the year. Stellantis also saw a 5% increase in shipments and posted total liquidity of €47.2 billion ($54.5 billion)
Why It Matters: The news comes as Stellantis has had a troubled 2025, with the company earlier saying that it expected a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/07/46514335/chrysler-jeep-parent-company-stellantis-expects-2-7-billion-net-loss-in-first-half-of-2025-as-trump-tariffs-cause-uncertainty">$2.7 billion loss</a> in H1 2025 amid uncertainty in the auto industry due to the tariffs.

Shares of the company also fell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46616373/stellantis-shares-drop-nearly-7-after-june-car-sales-decline-in-europe">by over 7%</a> recently as European sales declined 12.3% YoY in June. Stellantis also scrapped the planned development of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46437558/stellantis-abandons-hydrogen-vehicle-plans-citing-weak-infrastructure-and-incentives-report">Hydrogen fuel cell technology</a> due to a lack of incentives and no mid-term growth.

Stellantis H1 2025 Revenue Falls 13% As CEO Antonio Filosa Calls 2025 'A Tough Year' Amid Trump Tariffs

The meme stock phenomenon, once primarily seen as a retail-led market rebellion, is being swiftly absorbed by hedge funds and Wall Street institutions.
What Happened: On the Prof G Podcast on Monday, Ed Elson says, &#8220;40% of hedge funds are now using social sentiment analytics for their trading strategies in 2025 compared to 3 years ago when it was 10%.&#8221;
That fourfold increase marks a dramatic shift in how institutional players approach meme-driven volatility. Hedge funds are no longer dismissing Reddit, Twitter, and Google search trends as noise.

&#8220;The other thing you have to keep in mind now is that a lot of institutions are in on the meme thing,&#8221; Elson said. &#8220;They're hiring people who are tracking Google search and tracking Twitter, and tracking Reddit.&#8221;
The rise of social sentiment analytics is part of a broader acknowledgment that meme stocks are here to stay. &#8220;This is just a systemic part of the market now,&#8221; he says. &#8220;And we&#8217;re seeing this resurgence that really hit kind of a boiling point this week.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Elson is referring to a string of stocks that experienced a rally over the past week, such as Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46679779/opendoor-skyrockets-314-in-a-month-amid-meme-stock-mania-hedge-fund-manager-who-reaped-windfall-gains-says-im-not-here-to-pump-up-a-stock">which is up 314%</a> over the past month, Kohl&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>), up 51% and Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) by 41%. 
Fund manager Eric Jackson, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46597179/fund-manager-who-kickstarted-opendoor-frenzy-shrugs-off-meme-stock-hype-says-its-a-real-business-as-stock-craters-for-second-straight-day">kickstarted Opendoor&#8217;s rally</a>, however, is distancing himself from the &#8220;meme&#8221; stock tag, saying that &#8220;it&#8217;s a real business,&#8221; and that its true value and fundamentals will eventually reflect in its price.
Price Action: Shares of Opendoor were down 7.87% on Monday, trading at $2.34, and are up 1.71% after hours.

India has emerged as the leading smartphone supplier to the United States for the first time, capturing 44% of U.S. smartphone imports in the second quarter of 2025 as manufacturers accelerate production shifts away from China amid escalating trade tensions.
What Happened: Made-in-India smartphone shipments to the U.S. surged 240% year-over-year, according to new research from Canalys. China&#8217;s share of US smartphone shipments plummeted from 61% in Q2 2024 to just 25% in Q2 2025 as vendors frontload inventories to mitigate potential tariff risks.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) drove much of this transformation through its &#8220;China Plus One&#8221; strategy, dedicating most of its Indian export capacity to U.S. markets. The iPhone maker began manufacturing Pro models of the iPhone 16 series in India while maintaining dependence on Chinese facilities for a scaled U.S. supply of premium devices.
&#8220;Apple has scaled up its production capacity in India over the last several years and has opted to dedicate most of its export capacity in India to supply the U.S. market so far in 2025,&#8221; said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys.

Why It Matters: The supply chain reorientation comes as President Donald Trump confirmed 25% tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45599904/trump-confirms-25-tariff-on-samsung-and-other-companies-making-smartphones-outside-the-us">smartphones manufactured outside the U.S.</a>, specifically targeting companies like Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) and others. The tariffs are expected to take effect by late June 2025.
Despite the manufacturing surge, the U.S. smartphone market growth remained modest at 1% in the second quarter of 2025, reaching 27.1 million units. Apple maintained its market leadership with a 49% share despite an 11% decline in shipments to 13.3 million units. Samsung gained ground with 38% growth to 8.3 million units, capturing 31% market share.
Motorola continued its expansion with 2% growth to 3.2 million units, while Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google grew 13% to 0.8 million units. TCL declined 23% to 0.7 million units.
India&#8217;s smartphone exports to the U.S. have become the country&#8217;s second-largest export category behind diamonds, jumping from $5.23 million in fiscal 2019 to $5.56 billion in fiscal 2024.

Analysts expect the Long Island City, New York-based company to report quarterly loss at 33 cents per share, versus a year-ago profit of 8 cents per share.

JetBlue Airways shares fell 0.5% to close at $4.36 on Monday.

PayPal Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Silicon Valley investor and economic commentator Balaji Srinivasan predicted that all valuable assets will be secured and managed through blockchain technology in the future.
What happened: In a blog post published on Sunday, Srinivasan provided several examples to support his argument.
He starts by noting that trillions of dollars worth of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>),&nbsp; which BTC advocates frequently refer to as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/06/45796252/bitcoin-in-2025-digital-gold-for-uncertain-times">"digital gold</a>," is already secured on blockchain networks.
Next, he pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/07/46582358/how-trumps-genius-act-could-supercharge-tethers-usdt">stablecoins getting regulatory clarity</a> as a legal "on-chain currency" paves the way for other financial assets, such as stocks and bonds, to be powered by blockchains.

Srinivasan referenced an old video showing a door that can be unlocked using Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) after verifying non-fungible token ownership. He argued that even physical properties, like homes or cars, can be secured with cryptographic keys.
"Indeed, any door can be secured in this way. The door to a plane, to a train, to a boat, to a building. Any door can be secured on-chain," he added.
Srinivasan acknowledged exceptions, such as consumable items, like food or clothing, which, according to him, represented a "negligible fraction" of the total value in the world.
He called blockchain the "only truly secure backend," which, unlike traditional systems like that of the Pentagon, is resistant to hacks.

Why It Matters: A section of users critiqued Srinivasan&#8217;s arguments.
Nick Neuman, co-founder and CEO of Bitcoin-based company Casa, questioned the rationale behind having on-chain storage for smart locks, suggesting that local encryption and Near Field Communication technology could provide a more resilient and cleaner solution for securing physical items like doors.

&#8220;TradiFi has much wider adoption and is much bigger in $ value; crypto people are much riskier,&#8221; Shevchenko said.

'All Property Becomes Cryptography:' Balaji Srinivasan Believes All Valuable Assets Will Be Powered By Blockchain One Day

The Trump administration is contemplating a significant revamp of the U.S. patent system, which could potentially generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue. 
What Happened: The Commerce Department is considering a new fee structure that would require patent holders to pay 1% to 5% of their patent&#8217;s overall value. This change could result in a substantial increase in fees for patent holders. The proposal is part of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick&#8217;s strategy to raise revenue and reduce the government&#8217;s budget deficit, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/patent-system-overhaul-18e0f06f?mod=hp_lead_pos11">reported </a>The Wall Street Journal. 
The current system, which has been in place for 235 years, involves patent holders making flat-fee payments to the government, ranging from a few thousand dollars to approximately $10,000, over several years. The proposed fee would represent a substantial added expense for certain patent holders—comparable to a property tax.
Officials at the Patent and Trademark Office, a part of the Commerce Department, are currently discussing draft proposals and financial models. The total value of U.S. patents is estimated to be in the trillions of dollars, with companies like Samsung and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) acquiring thousands of patents annually.
"It's a total paradigm shift in how you think about protecting intellectual property rights," said Brad Watts, senior vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Innovation Policy Center. 
On the other hand, Marylee Jenkins, a partner at law firm ArentFox Schiff said, "I'm not seeing how charging a percentage of what the U.S. government thinks the valuation of your IP is encourages innovation.&#8221;
