MoneyHero Regains Nasdaq Compliance As Share Price Stays Above $1 For 10 Straight Sessions

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) was trading higher early Friday morning after a Nasdaq-listed firm stated that it would establish a reserve of the dog-themed memecoin.
What happened: DOGE was up over 11% in the last 24 hours, with trading volume surging 64% to $5.56 billion.&nbsp;
The coin soared above $0.24 for the first time in nearly five months. The latest uptick pushed its weekly gains to 20% and monthly gains to nearly 40%.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez said that given the meme coin has crossed the key $0.20 resistance, the "next key hurdle" lies at $0.36.

BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>) surged 14.11% in after-hours trading on Thursday, reaching $47.81 per share as the company&#8217;s Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) holdings crossed the $1 billion threshold following its recent pivot to an ETH treasury strategy.
What Happened: The Las Vegas-based company filed an 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, announcing its current ETH holdings position. BitMine recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46432615/bitmine-immersion-technologies-stock-surges-after-hours-whats-going-on">closed a $250 million private placement</a> and now holds 163,142 ETH tokens, worth approximately $1.18 billion at current prices.
The stock has gained 423.75% year-to-date, transforming from a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46432615/bitmine-immersion-technologies-stock-surges-after-hours-whats-going-on">market cap of $25.86 million in early 2025</a> to approximately $2.16 billion as of Thursday&#8217;s close. Thursday&#8217;s regular session saw shares close at $41.90, down 6.47% before the after-hours surge.
Fundstrat&#8216;s Tom Lee, who recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46434516/tom-lee-says-ethereum-set-for-breakout-as-stablecoins-become-chatgpt-moment-for-wall-street-and-crypto">became chairman of BitMine&#8217;s board</a>, has been instrumental in the company&#8217;s strategic shift. Lee emphasized Ethereum&#8217;s role as Wall Street&#8217;s preferred blockchain platform for tokenization. &#8220;Ethereum is like the preferred choice for Wall Street,&#8221; Lee told CNBC. &#8220;JP Morgan&#8217;s stablecoin is built on Ethereum. Robinhood is building their tokenizing business on Ethereum.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The transformation mirrors the success of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), which pioneered corporate Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) adoption. Lee noted that MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock jumped from $13 to over $450 after implementing its Bitcoin treasury strategy, with the treasury approach <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46486386/tom-lee-says-michael-saylor-led-strategys-35x-surge-wasnt-just-bitcoin-treasury-moves-far-more-significant-than-token-price-gain">contributing a 25x rise beyond Bitcoin&#8217;s price appreciation</a>.
Institutional validation came on Tuesday when Peter Thiel&#8216;s Founders Fund Growth II Management disclosed a 9.1% stake in BitMine as of July 8. The billionaire PayPal and Palantir co-founder&#8217;s investment sparked additional buying interest in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46432615/bitmine-immersion-technologies-stock-surges-after-hours-whats-going-on">emerging Ethereum treasury play</a>.
Lee sees Ethereum positioned for a significant breakout as stablecoins create a &#8220;ChatGPT moment&#8221; for cryptocurrency and traditional finance convergence.
The emerging trend has attracted other companies to similar strategies. GameSquare Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAME#NASDAQ">GAME</a>) announced an Ethereum treasury strategy last week, while SharpLink Gaming, Bit Digital and BTCS Inc. have also adopted ETH-focused approaches this year.
With a strong Momentum in the 99th percentile, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings highlight that BMNR has a positive trend across all formats. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Track the performance of other players</a> in this segment.

Hadrian, a defense manufacturing startup, has successfully concluded a $260 million Series C funding round, led by Peter Thiel&#8217;s Founders Fund and Lux Capital.
What Happened: The funding will be utilized to establish a new 270,000 square foot factory in Mesa, Arizona, and expand its Torrance, California, location, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/17/hadrian-funding-round-thiel-founders-fund.html">reported</a> on Thursday.
The expansion is intended to strengthen Hadrian's shipbuilding and naval defense capabilities.
Hadrian&#8217;s CEO, Chris Power, emphasized the need for a substantial advancement in the U.S. manufacturing model compared to China&#8217;s.
The company is disrupting the traditional defense contracting industry, dominated by major players such as Northrop Grumman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), to enhance U.S. defense production and secure Department of Defense contracts.
The new Arizona facility, set to commence operations by Christmas, will generate 350 local jobs. Hadrian plans to establish four to five additional facilities within the next year to support Department of Defense requirements.

Hadrian uses robotics and artificial intelligence to automate its factories, with the goal of boosting American worker productivity. The company says it can train employees in just 30 days and make them ten times more efficient.
Notable investors in this funding round include Andreessen Horowitz and Brad Gerstner&#8217;s Altimeter Capital. This round follows a $92 million funding round that the company closed in late 2023.
Why It Matters: The defense tech industry has been witnessing significant developments in recent times. In June, Anduril Industries secured <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow">$2.5 billion in fresh capital</a>, doubling its valuation to $30.5 billion. This marked a pivotal moment in the company&#8217;s rapid ascent within the national security sector. The funding was also led by Thiel&#8217;s Founders Fund.
Thiel&#8217;s influence in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46214540/palmer-luckey-peter-thiel-joe-lonsdale-launch-erebor-bank-for-startups-crypto-and-defense-a-digital-only-bet-on-the-post-svb-era-report">defense tech sector has been growing</a>. In July, defense tech billionaire Palmer Luckey spearheaded the launch of Erebor, a digital-only bank targeting startups, cryptocurrency businesses, and defense contractors. The venture brought together a powerhouse of tech investors, including Thiel&#8217;s Founders Fund.
In 2024, Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) formed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36613282/palantir-joins-forces-with-israeli-defense-ministry-in-war-tech-partnership-report">strategic partnership with the Israeli</a> Defense Ministry to support military operations, following talks in Tel Aviv between Israeli officials and Palantir co-founders Thiel and Alex Karp.

Streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is seeing renewed strength in subscriber engagement, according to a leading analyst covering the stock. 
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFLX stock here.</a>
What Happened: On Thursday, Alicia Reese, Vice President of equity research at Wedbush Securities, said the company&#8217;s retention was &#8220;shockingly strong&#8221; for the second quarter, while speaking <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-07-17/returning-viewers-could-drive-netflix-earnings-video">on</a> Bloomberg TV, noting that &#8220;quite a few people that came back to the service that had churned out over the last quarter.&#8221;
She further notes that despite the recent price hikes, particularly in the &#8220;Premium Tier,&#8221; user stickiness remains high, which is attributed to the new ad-supported tier, allowing users to downgrade their plans instead of canceling outright.

Content was cited as a major reason subscribers returned, with the analyst pointing to the recovery in programming volumes following the disruptions caused by last year's SAG-AFTRA strikes. 
&#8220;Now we're seeing in the second quarter and we should see through the rest of the year, and throughout the following year, really good content, quality content and volume,&#8221; she said.
She mentions titles such as Squid Game and WWE programming to make her case. &#8220;They had Squid Game that brought back a lot of people,&#8221; and WWE was highlighted as a strong retention driver due to its recurring nature and additional content. &#8220;There's a lot of shoulder programming around that.&#8221;
The company's ad-supported tier was also credited with reducing churn during the quarter. Reese says that with this tier, &#8220;you just trade down for a little while when you don't have quite as much to watch or if you're price sensitive.&#8221; 
While not yet fully accretive globally, the analyst suggested that Netflix&#8217;s ad business &#8220;has a ways to go,&#8221; but adds that it is making strides toward profitability, particularly in North America.
Why It Matters: The company released its second quarter results on Thursday, reporting $11.08 billion, up 16% year-over-year, ahead of consensus estimates at $11.04 billion. 
It posted a profit of $7.19 per share, once again beating analyst estimates at $7.06, driven by a strong content slate and subscriber momentum during the quarter.
Price Action: Netflix shares were up 1.91% on Thursday, trading at $1,274.17 per share, and is down 1.21% after hours, after its earnings announcement.

Netflix Sees 'Shockingly Strong' Retention, Subscriber Comeback In Q2 As WWE Stickiness, 'Squid Game' And Ad-Tier Drives Momentum, Analyst Says

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Jon Prosser and collaborator Michael Ramacciotti, alleging they misappropriated trade secrets tied <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45941076/apples-wwdc-2025-unveiling-ios-26-liquid-glass-interface-and-carplay-enhancements">to the unreleased</a> iOS 26 by secretly accessing a confidential development iPhone.
What Happened: According to Apple's complaint, filed this week and published on Scribd, the leak stemmed from an internal iPhone used by Apple employee Ethan Lipnik, who is now terminated, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/17/apple-sues-jon-prosser-ios-26-leaks/">reported</a> MacRumors.
The tech giant alleges Ramacciotti, a friend of Lipnik's, gained unauthorized access to the prototype device using Lipnik's passcode and timed the entry for when Lipnik would be away.
Apple claims Ramacciotti then made a FaceTime call to Prosser, during which he displayed the unreleased iOS 26 interface, including its redesigned Camera and Messages apps, as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852236/steve-jobs-would-have-fired-everyone-apples-liquid-glass-in-ios-26-gets-roasted-online-dan-ives-calls-wwdc-2025-a-yawner">the new "Liquid Glass" UI</a>.

Prosser allegedly screen-recorded the call and later used the footage to create "re-created renderings" showcased in several YouTube videos.
Prosser's January, March and April videos featured elements later seen in Apple's WWDC unveiling, prompting Apple to act. The company says the development iPhone contained further confidential features that haven't yet been disclosed, and it's unclear how much of this data is now in the pair's possession.
Prosser responded to the allegations on X, formerly Twitter, saying he was "unaware of the situation playing out" and looks forward to discussing it with Apple.

Insights From Analysts:
A key takeaway for investors, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, is the certainty of rising tariffs on numerous U.S. trading partners in the near and intermediate terms. While the recent &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; momentarily sidelined trade concerns, tariffs are firmly back on the policy agenda.
As the second-quarter earnings season unfolds, corporate profitability will be under intense scrutiny. Wells Fargo anticipates a mid-single-digit earnings growth rate for the second quarter, a slowdown from the previous quarter, reflecting both a slightly softer economy and the emerging tariff headwinds.
While some companies have benefited from &#8220;buying ahead&#8221; to mitigate tariff impacts, others are now feeling the pressure on their bottom lines.
Wren highlights that S&amp;P 500 companies have generally enjoyed robust operating profit margins, around 14-15% since late 2021, exceeding the long-term average. This provides some capacity to absorb tariff costs. However, investors will be keenly focused on how much of these additional expenses will be passed on to consumers and the ultimate impact on earnings.
Wells Fargo continues to favor Information Technology and Communication Services for their expected strong earnings. They also see improved comparisons later this year and into 2026 for Energy, Utilities, and Financials.
For now, the firm suggests trimming overvalued sectors like Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and U.S. Small Cap Equities, anticipating better buying opportunities towards the end of the year and into 2026.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 made its ninth all-time high on Thursday.
&#8220;Since 1957 (when it became 500 stocks) today was ATH number 1,250,&#8221; he added.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher After Scaling Record Close: American Express, 3M, Charles Schwab Earnings In Focus

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCLI#NASDAQ">BCLI</a>) shares crashed 42.74% to $0.67 in after-hours trading on Friday after the company announced its voluntary delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BCLI">how BCLI stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: The biotechnology firm received formal notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that its common stock will be suspended from trading at market open on Friday. 
The delisting stems from non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires maintaining minimum shareholder equity.
BrainStorm&#8217;s stock has declined 45.33% year-to-date, closing Thursday at $1.17 before the after-hours selloff. The company has secured approval to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market under the same BCLI ticker symbol, effective Friday.
&#8220;While this delisting from Nasdaq is a challenging outcome, we want to assure our shareholders and the patient community that it does not alter our core mission,&#8221; said CEO Chaim Lebovits in a statement. The company emphasized its continued focus on developing NurOwn, its lead investigational therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

CEO of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Chaim Lebovits, on the company&#8217;s delisting stated, &#8220;While this delisting from NASDAQ is a challenging outcome, we want to assure our shareholders and the patient community that it does not alter our core mission or our unwavering commitment to advancing NurOwn for ALS patients.&#8221;
Why It Matters: BrainStorm develops autologous adult stem cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Its proprietary NurOwn platform uses mesenchymal stem cells to produce neurotrophic factor-secreting cells designed to treat ALS patients. The therapy has received Orphan Drug designation from both the FDA and European Medicines Agency.
The company completed a Phase 3 ALS trial and plans to launch a Phase 3b trial under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the FDA. BrainStorm also conducted a Phase 2 trial for progressive multiple sclerosis, supported by a National MS Society grant.
The delisting does not impact business operations or research programs, according to the company. 
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics has a positive short-term price trend. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Track the performance of other players</a> in this segment.
