Founded in 2015, Airwallex has grown into a global player by helping businesses send, receive, and manage international payments at scale, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/fintech-airwallex-valued-over-6-billion-latest-funding-round-2025-05-21/">Reuters</a> reports.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Growth Amid Industry Slowdown</h2>
While fintech startups exploded in valuation post-pandemic, many are now facing investor fatigue. According to Reuters, persistently high interest rates, recession concerns, and geopolitical volatility have forced many firms to delay fundraising or accept lower terms.
Airwallex has bucked that trend since its 11% increase in valuation from the previous round in 2022 is a signal of both operational strength and investor confidence. The company now counts industry giants like Shein, Qantas, and Xero among its client base, Reuters says.
CEO Jack Zhang told Reuters that more than 70% of the company's net revenue now comes from online payment processing and spend management, rather than just cross-border infrastructure.
The diversification strategy appears to be paying off. Zhang emphasized in the company&#8217;s announcement that Airwallex is no longer just a cross-border payments solution, but a broader financial operating system for modern businesses.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
&#8220;The global financial system wasn't built for today's borderless economy,&#8221; Zhang said. &#8220;Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that's slow, costly, and fragmented. At Airwallex, we're building a new foundation for the global economy – one that's fast, seamless, and built for scale. This investment marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine global banking, and to empower businesses everywhere to grow without limits.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding Global Footprint With U.S. And Asia Focus</h2>
Airwallex is also doubling down on global expansion. The company said it opened its U.S. headquarters in San Francisco last year and recently opened new offices in New York, Toronto, and Paris. According to Reuters, the startup is joining other payment providers competing with major players like JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>).
In addition to its growing presence in North America, Airwallex is targeting Japan, South Korea, and Latin America as core areas for future growth. With a global headquarters now based in Singapore, the company is positioning itself as a truly borderless platform for modern business finance, Reuters says.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Riding A New Wave Of Fintech Infrastructure</h2>
Airwallex said it developed a proprietary global infrastructure designed to modernize how businesses move money across borders. By building direct connections to local clearing systems and card networks, the company has created a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional banking rails. Most of the company&#8217;s transactions are completed within hours, with a majority processed instantly.
With tools that span global business accounts, FX, spend management, and embedded finance APIs, Airwallex is positioning itself as the operating system for modern businesses. With the new funding, Airwallex said in its funding announcement that it is now preparing for its next phase: deeper integration, bigger partnerships, and an even broader global footprint.&nbsp;

Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) is trading higher Tuesday, up 3.12% to $18.82, as the broader crypto market gains momentum. ETC&#8217;s rise Tuesday follows a surge in investor interest across digital assets, catalyzed in part by major news from Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, which announced plans to raise $2.5 billion to build a bitcoin treasury.
What To Know: Trump Media, parent company of Truth Social and controlled by Donald Trump's family, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45626792/djt-tanks-10-on-bitcoin-bet-peter-schiff-warns-of-trump-front-running-the-reserve">aims to raise</a> $1.5 billion via common stock and $1 billion through convertible notes. CEO Devin Nunes said the move is designed to shield the company from financial institution "harassment" and to integrate cryptocurrency into the firm's ecosystem.
This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45620103/whats-going-on-with-trump-media-stock-tuesday-2">high-profile embrace</a> of crypto by Trump Media may be fueling optimism across the sector, with Ethereum Classic among the beneficiaries.
What Else: ETC is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that split from Ethereum in 2016 following a major hack. It maintains the original Ethereum blockchain and supports smart contracts without centralized governance.
As bitcoin hits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45620850/bitcoin-climbs-5-1-amid-pakistans-support-for-btc-mining-whale-shorts-1b">record highs</a> and mainstream players deepen crypto involvement, Ethereum Classic is gaining renewed attention from investors seeking alternatives to Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Shares of MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) surged approximately 10% Tuesday afternoon to $16.20 following a bullish analyst update and ongoing enthusiasm around Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What To Know: Rosenblatt Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MARA/analyst-ratings">maintained</a> its Buy rating on MARA Holdings and raised its price target from $17 to $20, citing favorable market dynamics and the company's strong positioning within the crypto mining sector.
MARA Holdings is one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miners in North America. The company operates data centers powered by renewable energy to mine Bitcoin, offering investors exposure to the digital asset without directly holding it.

The stock's rally comes as Bitcoin-related sentiment intensifies. Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45620103/whats-going-on-with-trump-media-stock-tuesday-2">announced plans</a> to raise $2.5 billion to build a Bitcoin treasury on Tuesday. The firm, co-founded by President Donald Trump, said it secured commitments from about 50 institutional investors for a mix of equity and convertible debt.
While Trump Media shares dropped around 10% on the news, the announcement highlights growing corporate interest in Bitcoin, which was trading near record highs above $110,000 at last check. The crypto enthusiasm is boosting sentiment for companies like MARA Holdings that are deeply tied to the Bitcoin ecosystem. MARA Holdings shares were up 9.91% at $16.20 at publication time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MARA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in MARA Holdings&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July. Additionally, the sector may be up in anticipation of NVIDIA's upcoming Q1 report.

Bank Of America Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan reiterated a Neutral rating for NetApp, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>) with a price forecast of $120 ahead of the fourth quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings release on May 29</a>.
The analyst&#8217;s rating reflects confidence in NetApp&#8217;s ability to recover revenue, but persistent margin pressure from rising NAND costs in the second <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NTAP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">half of FY25 remains a concern</a>.
The analyst estimates fourth-quarter revenue and EPS of $1.726 billion and $1.89, respectively, slightly above Street estimates of $1.720 billion and in line with consensus EPS.

This also aligns closely with the company&#8217;s midpoint guidance of $1.725 billion and $1.89 for revenue and EPS, respectively, notes the analyst.
Going forward, Mohan sees potential risk from a pause in enterprise IT spending, which could delay storage purchases.
Additionally, aggressive pricing from competitors like Dell may cap near-term upside in the storage market, says the analyst.
Also, the analyst sees FY26 revenue/EPS of $6.91 billion/$7.59 vs. consensus of $6.84 billion/$7.68.
Mohan says that NTAP is likely to exhaust prebuys in the fourth quarter, so higher input costs may pressure FY26 margins.
Also, continued public sector weakness (10%–13% of revenue) is expected to weigh on guidance, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via WisdomTree Cybersecurity Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WCBR#NASDAQ">WCBR</a>) and iShares U.S. Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDGT#NYSE">IDGT</a>).
Price Action: NTAP shares are up 1.85% at $99.81 at the last check on Tuesday.

NetApp Beats On Revenue But Faces 2026 Margin Squeeze

Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday after the company said it will expand its autonomous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45612556/tesla-autonomous-driving-rival-pony-ai-to-expand-robotaxi-fleet-into-dubai-following-agreement-with-regulators">robotaxi fleet into Dubai</a>.
What To Know: The surge in shares comes after Pony AI announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai&#8217;s Roads and Transport Authority to deploy driverless taxis in the region.
The company said the rollout will happen in phases, with supervised trials set to launch later this year followed by a fully autonomous taxi launch in 2026. Pony AI also stated its intention to scale its global fleet to thousands of vehicles within the next two years. The move is part of Dubai's broader goal to convert 25% of its transportation network to autonomous systems by 2030.
&#8220;Dubai stands at the forefront of intelligent urban mobility innovation, and we are honored to collaborate with RTA on this transformative initiative. By combining our proven autonomous driving technology and extensive fleet operation experience, we are committed to accelerating Dubai&#8217;s transition to autonomous transportation,&#8221; said Leo Wang, CFO of Pony AI.
The Dubai agreement marks another step in Pony AI's ongoing global expansion. The company already has licenses in the U.S., South Korea, China and Luxembourg, and has more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45612556/tesla-autonomous-driving-rival-pony-ai-to-expand-robotaxi-fleet-into-dubai-following-agreement-with-regulators">270 robotaxis in its fleet</a> in China. Recent partnerships with Uber and Tencent further indicate Pony AI's push to advance autonomous vehicle technology.
The rally in Pony AI shares began in pre-market trading, where the stock was up over 6% before continuing higher in Tuesday&#8217;s regular session. The deal further positions Pony AI as a competitor to Tesla, which is planning a limited rollout of its robotaxi service in Austin next month.
The market's response shows increased confidence in Pony AI's execution strategy and its ability to form high-level partnerships to expand internationally in the competitive autonomous driving space.
PONY Price Action: Pony AI shares were up 16.9% at $20.36 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

B of A Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan revised full-year estimates for Pure Storage, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSTG#NYSE">PSTG</a>) ahead of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings release on May 28</a>.
The analyst forecasts first quarter fiscal 2026 revenue and EPS at $772 million and 26 cents, respectively, slightly ahead of Street expectations of $770 million and 25 cents.
The analyst highlighted that the first quarter is typically the company&#8217;s weakest from a seasonal perspective. Historically, since 2016, the first quarter has shown an average sequential revenue decline of 16%.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45626048/why-marvells-ai-revenue-could-top-4-billion-by-2025-analyst-explains" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why Marvell&#8217;s AI Revenue Could Top $4 Billion By 2025, Analyst Explains</a>
Mohan sees a more moderate 12% quarter/quarter (Q/Q) decline, slightly above typical seasonality, reflecting continued momentum from FlashBlade/E adoption.
Despite the continued adoption of FlashBlade/E, which is expected to negatively impact product margins in the first fiscal quarter, the analyst forecasts an operating margin of 10.7%.
This is higher than both the Street&#8217;s estimate of 10.6% and the company&#8217;s guidance of 10.4%. The analyst noted that the primary driver for this stronger-than-expected operating margin is robust subscription margins.
Also, the analyst estimates the second quarter revenue to be $835 million, slightly below the Street estimate of $839 million.
The analyst expects the recent weakness in NAND pricing to support margin expansion in the second and third quarters. PSTG typically prebuys raw NAND during weakness in NAND pricing, and the analyst expects some offset to margins from this.
The analyst anticipates PSTG to reiterate its full-year operating margin guidance of 17%.
Mohan expects an enterprise IT spending pause in the second and third quarters of 2025 due to macro uncertainty, broadly impacting IT hardware but especially storage (due to deferrable purchases). Increased competition from Dell Technologies Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) new products and aggressive pricing is also expected to limit the upside in the storage industry.
Apart from this, Mohan revised EPS for FY27 to $2.07 (from $2.06) and FY28 to $2.46 (from $2.49 earlier).
The analyst states the upside risks to the price forecast include a faster commercial segment recovery, lower flash costs, quicker supply chain recovery, and unexpected market share gains.
The downside risks are an extended economic slowdown, rising costs, intense competition from established vendors (NetApp, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ntap#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell-EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>)) and private companies, enterprise migration to the public cloud, execution challenges from high growth, and potential erosion of its software competitive advantage.
The analyst maintained a Neutral rating with a price forecast of $73 as product growth has yet to re-accelerate, hyperscaler deals remain a future catalyst, and competitive pressure from HDD and ongoing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PSTG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">investments present margin risk</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKYY#NASDAQ">SKYY</a>) and&nbsp;Collaborative Investment Series Trust Mohr Company Nav ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNAV#BATS">CNAV</a>).
Price Action: PSTG shares are trading lower by 0.08% to $55.40 at last check Tuesday.
