What Happened: The collaboration, announced Wednesday, initially provides FalconX with access to Standard Chartered&#8217;s comprehensive banking services and extensive currency pairs, enhancing cross-border settlement capabilities for institutional clients.
&#8220;We are pleased to partner with Standard Chartered, one of the most forward-thinking global banks in digital asset adoption,&#8221; said Matt Long, General Manager for APAC &amp; Middle East at FalconX. &#8220;This relationship strengthens our ability to deliver robust banking and FX solutions to clients who rely on us to operate in crypto markets.&#8221;

Standard Chartered Partners With FalconX To Fuel Institutional Crypto Access As Bitcoin Soars Past $103K

French authorities are on the hunt for armed men who attempted to kidnap a woman, believed to be the daughter of a cryptocurrency&nbsp;tycoon, on Tuesday.
What Happened: Three men in a van&nbsp;arrived in a busy street in Central Paris with the intent to kidnap the woman, <a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/tentative-denlevement-en-plein-paris-jai-vu-des-hommes-encagoules-et-armes-senfuir-13-05-2025-DM4IRACBTVCOPBAX7OUWAHVT7E.php">reported </a>Le Parisien, a French daily newspaper. 
The&nbsp;woman, who is the daughter&nbsp;of a cryptocurrency company&#8217;s CEO, was saved by her partner, who intervened and was subsequently assaulted by the kidnappers. The shocking incident was caught on camera

The kidnappers, clad in black and wearing balaclavas, escaped the scene in their vehicle, leaving behind a fake handgun. The vehicle was later found abandoned a few streets away. The couple&#8217;s two-year-old child, who was present during the incident, was also affected by the tear gas used by the kidnappers, according to the report.

The Paris prosecutor&#8217;s office has handed over the investigation to the Brigade de Répression du Banditisme (Brigade for the Suppression of Banditry), a special police unit within the French Ministry of the Interior. The unit had recently investigated another kidnapping involving the father of a young online poker player and cryptocurrency entrepreneur.
France 24 <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/france/20250513-armed-gang-tries-to-kidnap-crypto-ceo-s-daughter-grandson-in-central-paris">reported </a>that woman is the daughter of the CEO and co-founder of Paymium, a French cryptocurrency exchange allowing users to trade Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), among other popular tokens.
This failed kidnapping incident comes days after French police rescued a man kidnapped in an attempt to force his cryptocurrency millionaire son to pay a ransom, <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250504-kidnapped-dad-of-crypto-firm-boss-released-in-french-police-raid">according </a>to France 24.

Cryptocurrency Tycoon's Daughter Escapes Kidnapping Attempt: Viral Video Captures Terrifying Ordeal

Senior Democratic lawmaker Sen.&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) called President Donald Trump-backed stablecoin a potential threat to national security and a conduit for corruption on Tuesday.
What Happened: Warren, a known cryptocurrency critic, took to X to express her concerns about the dollar-pegged cryptocurrency USD1, currently available on Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>). 
&#8220;Trump's stablecoin is shady and a national security risk,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He's cashing in on foreign crypto deals—and weakening guardrails that protect our advanced technology.&#8221;
Warren urged the Senate not to enable this &#8220;corruption&#8221; by passing the GENIUS Act, popularly known as the stablecoin bill, without necessary amendments.

The White House didn&#8217;t immediately return <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Elizabeth Warren Calls Out Trump-Linked Stablecoin As A National Security Risk: 'He's Cashing In On Foreign Crypto Deals'

Raymond James has initiated coverage on Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) with an Outperform rating. This move comes in light of Supermicro&#8217;s strong standing in the AI-optimized infrastructure sector and its swift revenue growth.
What Happened: AI platforms constitute approximately 70% of Supermicro&#8217;s revenue, positioning it as a dominant player among branded server vendors. Raymond James has set a $41 price target for the company, projecting Supermicro&#8217;s FY26 revenue at $29.8 billion with an EPS of $3.03, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 25%, <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/raymond-james-initiates-smci-coverage-with-outperform-rating-on-ai-tailwinds-4826948">reported</a> Investing.com.
Raymond James highlighted that Supermicro has effectively carved out a niche for itself and &#8220;positioned itself in a sweet spot&#8221; between traditional branded IT vendors such as Dell (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) and contract manufacturers like Quanta.
The firm noted that while Supermicro has shown impressive growth, its valuation was impacted by past performance inconsistencies and internal control issues, which caused delayed SEC filings and auditor changes. These problems have since been resolved with no misconduct found.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Supermicro&#8217;s financial performance has been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236823/super-micro-computer-stock-slips-after-q3-results-uncertainty-and-tariffs-may-have-a-short-term-impact-ceo-says"> under scrutiny</a>, especially following its Q3 results in 2025. The company reported quarterly earnings of 31 cents per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 50 cents by 38%. Its quarterly revenue of $4.6 billion also fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of $5.42 billion by 15.1%.
CEO Charles Liang said the company isn&#8217;t providing fiscal 2026 guidance due to tariff-related uncertainty, noting that "economic uncertainty and tariff impacts may have a short-term impact,&#8221; reported CNBC.
Despite these financial setbacks, Raymond James remains optimistic about Supermicro&#8217;s future, particularly due to its robust position in the AI-optimized infrastructure sector. The firm&#8217;s bullish stance is further supported by Supermicro&#8217;s plans to expand&nbsp;its U.S. manufacturing to produce&nbsp;1,500 liquid-cooled AI racks per&nbsp;month.
SMCI stock surged 16.02% to close at $38.89 on Tuesday. On a year-to-date basis, it soared over 29%.
SMCI holds a momentum rating of 40.25% and a growth rating of 93.38%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

O&#8217;Leary stated that this deal is going to transform cross-border trading. &#8220;We're finally connecting crypto between Canada and the U.S. right before stablecoin regulations hit. FX trading is about to get a major upgrade,&#8221; he said.
He also added that the deal will lead to &#8220;No more outrageous bank fees. You'll be able to move money between your Canadian and U.S. accounts instantly and at a fraction of the cost.&#8221;

DA Davidson analyst&nbsp;Gil Luria&nbsp;has proposed that&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(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>) should contemplate splitting up Google&#8217;s various businesses to enhance its overall value. This recommendation comes amid Google&#8217;s struggle to retain its supremacy in the search engine market due to the rise of AI chatbots.
What Happened: Luria, in an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-needs-big-bang-breakup-that-would-value-its-businesses-at-37-trillion-as-ai-threatens-search-analyst-171143842.html">interview</a> with Yahoo Finance, has expressed that Google&#8217;s resistance to a breakup is contributing to its unusually low earnings multiple for a growth company. The U.S. Department of Justice has previously called on Google to divest its Chrome browser and advertising network and potentially its mobile Android division as well.
Luria&#8217;s clients, a broad spectrum of institutional investors, are pushing for a &#8220;big bang breakup&#8221; rather than &#8220;isolated spinoffs&#8221;. Luria suggests that Google should divide its businesses into individually traded entities.
According to Luria&#8217;s analysis, Google&#8217;s&nbsp;individual businesses would be valued&nbsp;much higher as separate entities. While Google&#8217;s market capitalization is currently less than $2 trillion, Luria estimates that the total value of Google&#8217;s&nbsp;businesses, when valued separately, would&nbsp;be $3.7 trillion.
The analyst proposes that Google should separate&nbsp;YouTube, Search, Google Cloud, Waymo and its AI segments. He contends that Alphabet&#8217;s stock is currently trading at a historically low valuation—just 16 times its forward earnings—significantly below the overall market multiple.
Luria also stated that Google&#8217;s individual businesses would trade at levels comparable to their peers, with Waymo comparable to&nbsp;Uber&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), Google Cloud to&nbsp;Snowflake&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), YouTube to&nbsp;Netflix&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)&nbsp;and Google's TPU business to&nbsp;Nvidia&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).

Why It Matters: Google&#8217;s current predicament can be traced back to May 8, when it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45288753/google-at-staggering-42-discount-to-sp-500-after-150-billion-value-dive">experienced </a>one of its worst trading days since 2023, losing over 7% and nearly $150 billion in market cap. This massive loss was triggered by a statement from Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Eddy Cue, who revealed a decline in search volume on iPhones, an event that hadn&#8217;t occurred in 20 years.
This revelation sparked a debate on the All-In Podcast, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45339953/apple-exec-says-iphone-users-are-ditching-google-search-now-chamath-palihaptiya-urges-the-tech-giant-to-stop-waiting-for-data-and-start-fighting-models-like-chatgpt">venture capitalist</a> Chamath Palihapitiya urged Google to stop waiting for data and start fighting models like ChatGPT.
Luria&#8217;s &#8220;big bang breakup&#8221; is seen as a strategic suggestion for Google to regain its lost ground and boost its overall value in the face of these challenges.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place Alphabet in the 81st percentile for quality and the 67th percentile for growth, reflecting its strong performance in both areas. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check the detailed report here.</a>

Alphabet's Value Could Skyrocket To $3.7 Trillion With Google's 'Big Bang Breakup' Over 'Isolated Spin-Offs,' Says Analyst

Editor&#8217;s Note: The story has been updated with Amazon&#8217;s statement.
The Federal Trade Commission has accused Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) of concealing key evidence in the antitrust case that claims the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42822625/big-techs-date-with-antitrust-alphabet-meta-amazon-brace-for-legal-showdowns-in-2025">retail giant abused its market power</a>. As per a new court filing, the FTC says Amazon withheld thousands of non-privileged documents by incorrectly labeling them as protected.
What Happened: Following an order by a federal judge to re-review its privilege claims, Amazon withdrew 92% of them and presented around 70,000 documents it had withheld earlier, according <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/ftc-accuses-amazon-of-hiding-evidence-in-antitrust-case/">to</a> the Courthouse News Service. 
The FTC discovered that around 75% of those had been completely shielded from view. In a small in-camera review, a single sentence out of nine documents was deemed privileged. 
One document quoted a top executive calling founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos Amazon's "chief dark arts officer" when describing the "shady world" of tactics employed to boost Prime subscriptions, the report noted.

Why It Matters: The FTC says these documents were withheld not because they were legally protected, but because they &nbsp;damaging evidence. "In essence, Amazon's privilege log — on which the FTC has relied throughout discovery — was almost entirely wrong," the commission wrote in its motion. "It is impossible to square a 92% error rate across tens of thousands of documents with a mere mistake."
The commission also said that Amazon has a pattern of falsely labeling routine communications as "privileged" and alleged that the company instructs staff to mislabel documents to sidestep regulatory scrutiny. "The blatant nature and ubiquity of these actions demonstrate&#8230; a purposeful plan," the FTC added.
Calling the withheld records &#8220;probative, inculpatory, and entirely nonprivileged,&#8221; the FTC has asked the court for another 90 days of discovery and for Amazon to bear the resulting costs. 
&#8220;The FTC wants to distract from the facts because the facts don't support this vague and unprecedented legal case,&#8221; an Amazon spokesperson told Benzinga in a statement.
Regarding the meeting notes that reference "dark arts," the spokesperson added: &#8220;These notes are from a much longer conversation that included discussion about non-Amazon subscription programs. The way Amazon drives Prime subscribers is by making the service useful and valuable. It is correct that an element of driving that value is an art rather than a science. And our approach works — Prime, with hundreds of millions of members, is among the highest-performing subscription programs of any kind, as measured by renewal rates and customer satisfaction.&#8221;
Amazon is not the only tech giant locking horns with the FTC. Last month, hearings began as part of the FTC's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44888906/meta-faces-an-antitrust-lawsuit-ftc-says-company-holds-a-social-network-monopoly">antitrust lawsuit against Meta</a>.
Amid these high-profile cases, the FTC is also facing a shortage of resources due <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44310724/doge-cuts-to-ftc-sow-confusion-in-case-against-amazon">to cuts enacted by DOGE</a>.
