The Securities and Exchange Commission met with officials from El Salvador&#8217;s&nbsp;National Commission on Digital Assets&nbsp;on Tuesday to collaborate on cryptocurrency regulation across borders.
What Happened: According to a memo dated April 22, representatives from&nbsp;Perkin Law Firm, LLC, and Heather Shemilt, a retired Goldman Sachs partner, also attended the meeting, the focal point of which was to discuss a proposed cross-border regulatory sandbox.
As part of a pilot program, a U.S.-licensed broker will get a digital asset license to operate in El Salvador to conduct a small-scale real estate tokenization trial in collaboration with a local company. The other scenario includes a small company raising up to $10,000 through tokenized shares in partnership with a U.S.-licensed broker.
The initiative sought to compare El Salvador&#8217;s &#8220;streamlined&#8221; approach to U.S. frameworks and identify efficiencies and gaps.

SEC Zooms In On Nayib Bukele-Led El Salvador's Crypto Regulation Model

With the ongoing shifts in the markets, the U.S.&#8217;s reliance on foreign capital is reversing, leading to lower asset prices. However, its unique position as the issuer of the world&#8217;s reserve currency provides a significant advantage in navigating this shift, according to an expert.
What Happened: In a recent thread on X, Bob Elliot, co-founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited and former investment committee member of Bridgewater Associates, argued that, unlike typical emerging market balance of payments crises, the U.S. can prioritize domestic economic conditions due to its debt being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44895384/dollar-slips-to-a-three-year-low-below-98-mark-higher-rates-are-not-supporting-the-dollar-says-expert">denominated in U.S. dollars</a>.
A balance of payments crisis in an emerging market can often trigger aggressive rate hikes to retain foreign capital, curb consumption, and limit currency depreciation needed to service foreign-currency debt, typically crushing local assets.
However, Elliot argues that the U.S. situation differs fundamentally despite sharing the characteristic of high reliance on foreign capital. Since U.S. debt is not issued in a foreign currency but in its own, &#8220;U.S. policymakers are in the privileged position to prioritize domestic conditions through the adjustment process,&#8221; said Elliot.
While concerns exist about foreign selling pushing rates higher, as seen in an emerging market crisis, the Fed&#8217;s ability to prioritize domestic conditions in the U.S. means it can ease monetary policy even as capital withdraws.
If needed, &#8220;the Fed can always print money and buy the bonds,&#8221; particularly to offset potential deflationary pressures from a weakening economy, said Elliot.
He explains that, unlike typical BoP crises, the Fed&#8217;s focus on domestic conditions, enabled by a weaker dollar and easing interest rates, can limit equity losses from reduced demand.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">But unlike more traditional BoP crises, the US policymakers are in the privileged position to prioritize domestic conditions through the adjustment process.

Why It Matters: According to Elliot, the selloff in U.S. assets is a consequence of the government&#8217;s efforts to reduce consumption through tariff policies and a subsequent narrowing of the current account deficit.
The decades-long buildup in foreign capital inflows since the 1990s, Elliot highlighted, was initially driven by reserve purchases and later by increased equity investments following the Global Financial Crisis. Also, foreign private investors funded substantial federal government deficits in recent years.
&#8220;Never would a country be allowed to run such a classic &#8216;twin deficit&#8217; problem for so long,&#8221; Elliot stated, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of this forty-year dynamic, made possible by the dollar&#8217;s reserve currency status.
Thus, he argues that the dollar&#8217;s reserve status can help policymakers make &#8220;adjustments&#8221; without creating a typical balance of payments crisis.

Piper Sandler set a $400 price target for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) following Tuesday's Q1 earnings call.
What Happened: The investment bank confirmed the price target on Wednesday, with analyst Alex Potter reiterating an overweight rating on the stock despite Tesla's poor performance in the latest quarter.

"In our preview last week, we predicted that (at best) Q1 would be a non-event. With the stock trading up slightly in the after-hours session, it appears our best-case scenario has materialized," the investment bank said.
Piper Sandler also maintained that Tesla didn't ‘hedge expectations' by announcing plans for launching the robotaxis, as well as more affordable models. Referring to the robotaxi launch in June, the statement then mentioned how there were some "interesting catalysts" for the investors ahead.&nbsp;
However, the investment bank did mention that it would largely depend on how Tesla's product launches, like the robotaxi and affordable models, materialize. "We reiterate our $400 price target,&#8221; Piper Sandler said.
Why It Matters: Piper Sandler isn't the only one optimistic about Tesla, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">Wedbush Investment's Dan Ives </a>also setting a price target of $350 on Tesla stock.
The analysts' optimism stems from Elon Musk reiterating his commitment to the EV giant as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940401/elon-musk-says-hell-only-spend-day-or-two-per-week-on-government-matters-to-ensure-fraud-does-not-come-roaring-back-ceos-focus-to-shift-to-tesla-beginning-may">billionaire will scale back </a>on his DOGE duties with the Trump administration.
The company also announced it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942792/tesla-q1-earnings-call-company-says-more-affordable-models-launching-this-year">release an affordable model</a>, which will be based on Tesla's current line-up of vehicles like the Model S, Model Y, Model X, Model 3, and the Cybertruck.

Banning Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips won&#8217;t stop China&#8217;s artificial intelligence development, according to Bernstein analysts, who suggest the export restrictions could instead strengthen domestic competitors like Huawei Technologies.
What Happened: &#8220;Banning the H20 would make no sense as its performance is already well below Chinese alternatives; a ban would simply hand the Chinese AI market completely over to Huawei,&#8221; Bernstein analysts wrote Wednesday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-chip-export-bans-unlikely-hinder-china-ai-growth-2025-4">reported</a> Business Insider.
The President Donald Trump administration is expected to require licenses for exporting powerful AI semiconductors to China, effectively creating an export ban, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44835247/nvidias-reported-failure-to-inform-chinese-clients-on-new-chip-restrictions-could-give-huawei-a-strategic-edge?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Nvidia disclosed in a regulatory filing last week</a>.

Chinese companies have been reducing dependence on Nvidia by training models on unrestricted edge devices like personal computers and connecting Huawei chips with Nvidia processors. According to Bernstein&#8217;s channel checks, &#8220;most companies are able to carry on without H20 chips.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Huawei is reportedly preparing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43945751/huawei-boosts-ai-chip-production-despite-taiwan-semi-and-asml-ban-aims-to-challenge-nvidia-in-china?utm_source=chatgpt.com">mass shipments of its advanced 910C AI chip</a> as early as next month. The chip reportedly matches Nvidia&#8217;s H100 performance by integrating two 910B processors into a single package, according to Reuters.
Huawei has doubled the yield rate of its AI chips from about 20% a year ago to approximately 40% now, making its Ascend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43945751/huawei-boosts-ai-chip-production-despite-taiwan-semi-and-asml-ban-aims-to-challenge-nvidia-in-china?utm_source=chatgpt.com">chip production profitable for the first time</a>, the Financial Times reported. The company aims to reach the industry standard of 60% yield.
Chinese AI companies focused on foundation model subscriptions face the biggest challenge transitioning from Nvidia&#8217;s proprietary CUDA software. Bernstein noted one Chinese company required 200 engineers and six months to migrate to Huawei chips, achieving only 90% of previous performance.

On Wednesday, following Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">first-quarter earnings report</a>, longtime investor and Future Fund managing partner Gary Black voiced skepticism over the company's strategy to offer lower-priced EVs.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Black expressed concern that these upcoming affordable models will simply be decontented versions of the existing Model 3 and Model Y, rather than entirely new vehicles that could expand Tesla's total addressable market (TAM).
Black stated that Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said during the call that these vehicles would be "within the [existing] form factor," which reinforced his view that the models may not attract new buyers but instead cannibalize sales of more expensive versions.
Black also criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44941657/elon-musk-equates-car-ownership-in-future-to-riding-a-horse-while-using-a-flip-phone-pierre-ferragu-says-teslas-iphone-moment-hinges-on-full-autonomy">analogy comparing Tesla's EV strategy</a> to Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) disruption of Nokia Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>).

He argued that without truly new vehicle types, Tesla risks repeating its 2023-2024 pattern, when price cuts led to steep earnings estimate revisions with little volume growth.
A user on X said that cheap base models don't usually sell well because buyers prefer lightly used, better-equipped versions. The user predicted that the same might happen with Tesla, too.
In response, Black said analysts are currently expecting Tesla's sales declines to ease in the second quarter and even turn positive in the fourth quarter. However, if the affordable car flops or gets delayed, then Tesla's full-year 2025 deliveries could drop even more.
&#8220;Without the new more affordable car, TSLA [deliveries] would likely be revised to -5% to -8% YoY,&#8221; he stated.

Why It's Important: Tesla reported first-quarter revenue of $19.34 billion, marking a 9% decline from the same period last year and falling short of Wall Street's consensus estimate of $21.35 billion.
The EV giant noted that it will revisit its 2025 guidance during the second-quarter update. Despite the revenue miss, Tesla said it maintains sufficient liquidity to support both its current product roadmap and long-term plans for capacity expansion.
Tesla also reaffirmed that its more affordable vehicle models are still on schedule to enter production in the first half of 2025. Additionally, the company announced that volume production of its autonomous Robotaxi, dubbed the Cybercab, is slated to begin in 2026.

Outlook 2025
In response to macro headwinds and uncertainty around trade tariffs, the Company is optimizing its 2025 spending plan and will employ its portfolio optionality. Mitigating actions around capex, portfolio, costs and other cash initiatives are expected to offset over €2 bln of negative scenario effects.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>FY gross capex expected to be below €8.5 bln, down from an initial guidance of around €9 bln; net capex is seen below €6 bln from an initial guidance of 6.5-7 bln.</li>
<li>At a revised scenario of 65 $/bbl for the Brent price, 40 €/MWh for the TTF gas spot price, 3.5 $/bbl for the Standard Eni Refining margin and a EUR vs USD exchange rate of 1.1, the FY Group's CFFO before working capital adjustments is expected to be at €11 bln. This reflects a better outcome than the changes to the reference scenario imply.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Oil and gas production is still expected at 1.7 mln boe/d, assuming a FY Brent price of 65 $/bbl.&nbsp;</li>
<li>FY GGP proforma adjusted EBIT is confirmed at €0.8 bln with an upside to over €1 bln in the event of positive negotiation outcomes and supportive market scenario.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Enilive and Plenitude: o FY proforma adjusted EBITDA respectively of around €1 bln and above €1.1 bln; o End of year installed renewable capacity projected at more than 5.5 GW (Plenitude @100%); biorefinery capacity at 1.65 MTPA plus 1 MTPA under construction.</li>

A new biography on Elon Musk sheds light on the billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s Icarus moment. Hubris Maximus, by Washington Post technology reporter Faiz Siddiqui, uncovers &#8220;The Shattering of Elon Musk&#8221; across three distinct periods in recent years.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Siddiqui offered a brief glimpse of his upcoming book on Musk, discussing his opinions on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box.&#8221;
Siddiqui says that his book depicts the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO in three distinct phases, starting with the controversial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30588579/elon-musk-tweets-funding-secured-in-2018-how-much-would-1-000-in-tesla-stock-be-worth-now">&#8220;funding secured&#8221; tweet</a> in 2018, which prompted a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, followed by the COVID-19 era, and then the acquisition of Twitter, or as it&#8217;s now called, X.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44965461/elon-musks-ex-wife-jumped-into-a-random-thread-to-answer-what-it-takes-to-be-a-billionaire-her-message-the-world-doesnt-care-what-you-want">Elon Musk&#8217;s Ex-Wife Jumped Into a Random Thread To Answer What It Takes To Be a Billionaire — Her Message: The World Doesn&#8217;t Care What You Want</a>
The book describes a pattern that Siddiqui notices with Musk, which often involves a big event, such as the acquisition of Twitter, resulting in public backlash, followed by a quiet period, and then reinvention, with Musk moving on to something else.
According to Siddiqui, his book depicts several instances of individuals who &#8220;fiercely&#8221; and &#8220;devotedly&#8221; believed in Musk&#8217;s promises, and while they still support his goals, they were &#8220;disappointed in the man.&#8221;
Unlike Icarus, the author doesn&#8217;t believe that Musk has, or is going to, crash and burn. What&#8217;s &#8220;shattered&#8221; is essentially the &#8220;veneer on Elon,&#8221; Siddiqui says. &#8220;Elon was unimpeachably our Tony Stark,&#8221; he says, but he doesn&#8217;t think that&#8217;s true anymore, thanks to the tech mogul&#8217;s &#8220;Hubris,&#8221; or exaggerated pride. 
Why It Matters: Recently, Musk&#8217;s behavior and <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/42935746/is-elon-musks-mental-health-a-cause-for-concern-biographer-thinks-so">mental health issues</a> came under scrutiny when his biographer, Seth Abramson, voiced his fears.
Musk himself has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37797951/elon-musk-on-ketamine-and-investors-value-if-there-is-something-im-taking-i-should-keep-taking-it">acknowledged and defended</a> his use of prescription Ketamine to treat occasional depressive episodes, adding that the drug has been beneficial for investors in his companies.
Back in 2017, when asked if he was bipolar by a user on Twitter, Musk replied, &#8220;Yeah,&#8221; before adding, &#8220;Maybe not medically [though].&#8221; Around the same time, he tweeted about experiencing &#8220;greater highs, terrible lows, and unrelenting stress,&#8221; hinting at bipolar disorder.

Despite recent turbulence, many investors and analysts continue to express confidence in Elon Musk's leadership and long-term vision. 
On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44955303/tesla-stock-is-ripping-higher-wednesday-whats-driving-the-action">Tesla shares rallied</a> after Musk announced he would scale back his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency starting in May, a market reaction that came in spite of the company's weak first-quarter results.
Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">raised his target</a> for Tesla to $350, a 40% upside from current levels, merely on news of Musk&#8217;s return as a full-time CEO. This comes despite a range of challenges and headwinds now facing the EV giant. This &#8220;removes the black clouds over Tesla,&#8221; Ives said, as he will be &#8220;laser-focused&#8221; on Tesla again. 
Price Action: Tesla shares rallied 5.37% on Wednesday, following the company&#8217;s much-anticipated first quarter earnings, which was released on Tuesday.
