Transactions Overview
In collaboration with Hazel and Virage, MSP Recovery has agreed to initiate a comprehensive corporate restructuring and funding plan designed to reinforce its financial stability, support operational growth, and streamline recovery servicing. Key components of the contemplated restructuring include:
<ul>
<li>Operational Funding to New Servicer Hazel would provide up to $25 million in operational funding through a structured facility to the New Servicer, funded in tranches of up to $1.75 million per month, subject to meeting certain milestones beginning on September 2025, with a maturity date of June 30, 2027. This funding would create a new servicer subsidiary of MSP Recovery (the "New Servicer") on a go forward basis and will support the buildout of a dedicated team to provide technology-enabled recovery services for Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) claims and similar matters. The New Servicer's directors and management team would be independent from the Company and outside of its control. The team would manage a scalable servicing platform built on MSP Recovery's proprietary data systems.</li>
<li>Operational Funding to Company Hazel has agreed to provide up to $9.75 million of bridge funding to the Company (of which $6.5 million remains available through July 2025) in additional bridge loan funding to the Company under the existing Operational Collection Floor facility. This brings Hazel's total funding under the facility to $25.75 million. Beyond July 2025, the MSP Principals have committed to pledge $25 million of collateral to backstop additional working capital requirements of the Company, in addition to the Company's existing sources of funding such as cash proceeds from the sale of Class A Common Stock to Yorkville pursuant to the Yorkville SEPA and proceeds from claims recoveries, subject to lien repayment on certain claims. In addition, the Company's annual costs, after currently planned cost reductions, are estimated to be reduced by $5.6 million per annum due to New Servicer operations and funded by the Funder (through New Servicer).</li>
<li>Enhanced Servicing Operation The Company plans to establish a servicing operation that will be 100% dedicated to recovering claim rights. MSP Recovery would continue to own 100% of all IP rights that it has developed, which it will license to the New Servicer, and a newly appointed and independent CEO will manage the New Servicer. The Company's objective is to create a servicing operation that is scalable, adequately funded, and capable of serving providers, health plans, and the state and federal government. The New Servicer would have an independent board composed of two world-class experienced executives with experience in legal, data, and healthcare, and an existing board member from MSP Recovery. Lender Hazel would approve the independent board members of the New Servicer. This partnership is expected to enhance the Company's IT/Data know-how and recovery processes.</li>
<li>Debt Restructuring &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
In exchange for a 43% equity interest in the Company (inclusive of shares currently held and those shares acquired through warrant exercises) Virage has agreed to waive all claims and release all liens against the Company relating to the VRM Full Return (approximately $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2025), and the Parties agree that the VRM Full Return will be paid only from: (i) a junior lien against Subrogation Holdings, LLC proceeds, (ii) claims currently owned by Virage, (iii) liens over two tranches of claims currently owned by Hazel (which Hazel shall release as part of the reorganization transaction) and (iv) a non-recourse second lien up to $100 million over 50% of the proceeds from the New Servicer and associated SPVs, to the extent that the VRM Full Return has not been repaid.

Economist and Obama-Era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers offered a strong rebuttal to claims that China has been "cheating" on trade since joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, drawing praise from entrepreneur Arnaud Bertrand.
What Happened: Summers made his remarks during a discussion with historian Niall Ferguson at the University of Austin. Ferguson posited that China engages in unfair competition — including alleged subsidies, dumping, and predatory pricing — suggesting tariffs might be the solution. Summers, however, dismissed that entire framing, likening China's approach to an institution providing free tuition.
"If one goes all the way to 2001, after it was reported to the World Trade Organisation — China cheated in multiple ways," Ferguson said. "China continues to subsidize its industries in all kinds of ways. It engages in unfair competition. It does things that look to me at least like dumping, and it&#8217;s done this for a quarter of a century nearly… What do you do to stop that? …to check that kind of behavior of gaming the free trade system, if it&#8217;s not tariffs? Or is there nothing you can do?"

Summers countered by asking how many in the audience paid tuition of $10,000 or more, highlighting that the event's own institution charges no tuition. "So you have no tuition. Why do you have no tuition?" Summers said. "You have no tuition because somehow you have succeeded in mobilizing funds that have enabled you to admit students without paying. So students get the benefit of an education without paying."

Turning to China's exports, Summers said: "So if China wants to sell us things at really low prices and the transaction is we get solar collectors that help make there be less global climate change or we get batteries that we can put in electric cars and we send them pieces of paper that we print. Think that's a good deal for us or a bad deal for us? Kind of think it's a good deal for us."
He rejected framing China's pricing strategy as "cheating," likening it instead to beneficial innovations that reduce costs for consumers. While acknowledging concerns over "predatory pricing," Summers noted that "in the entire history of economics, there have been almost no examples documented" of a genuine long-term price spike after competition is driven out.
Why It Matters: Bertrand, the former CEO of HouseTrip, seized on Summers' comments in a post on X, formerly Twitter. He applauded the economist for reframing the narrative that China's willingness to sell products at rock-bottom prices is somehow a violation of trade norms. "Who's really being cheated?" Bertrand asked, echoing Summers' contention that the U.S. benefits by obtaining affordable products while paying only with fiat currency.

Obama-Era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers Rejects China 'Cheating' At Trade Narrative: We Get EV Batteries For 'Pieces Of Paper' — It's A Good Deal

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has said the EU is preparing a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44705879/trump-tariffs-push-eu-to-hit-23-billion-in-us-exports-including-orange-juice-poulty-and-steel-from-red-states">slate of retaliatory measures</a> that could include levies on digital advertising revenues from U.S. tech companies like Facebook-parent Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
What Happened: The warning comes as transatlantic trade tensions rise, with President Donald Trump imposing steep new tariffs on European goods.
"We are developing retaliatory measures," von der Leyen <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fba18bd9-46f9-4736-89f3-976afe3abf7a">told</a> the Financial Times, noting the EU would seek a "completely balanced" agreement with Washington during Trump's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44660475/more-than-50-nations-ready-to-revisit-tariffs-says-white-house-advisor">90-day tariff pause</a>.&nbsp;
If talks fail, she warned, "There's a wide range of countermeasures &#8230; in case the negotiations are not satisfactory."

These retaliatory measures could include:&nbsp;
Taxes on American tech companies that earn big money in Europe, especially through digital advertising revenue. Von der Leyen said that this would differ from digital sales taxes implemented individually by member states.
"It's a turning point with the United States without any question," von der Leyen said. "We will never go back any more to the status quo."
Pointing to the disruption in stock and bond markets, she stated, "There are no winners in this, only losers."

Why It Matters: Two of the U.S.&#8217;s biggest trade partners, China and the EU—which represent 8% and 13% of its overall trade, respectively—earlier indicated plans to respond with countermeasures.
However, on Thursday, the European Commission decided to pause its planned retaliatory measures against the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. The proposed EU response would have impacted approximately €21 billion worth of American imports, including items like poultry, orange juice, and yachts.
China has already imposed reciprocal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44645172/china-retaliates-with-34-tariff-on-all-us-imports-urges-trump-to-immediately-cancel-the-tariffs-calls-for-negotiation">tariffs of 34% on all goods imported</a> from the U.S.
On the other hand, the U.K. government is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44663080/apple-facebook-and-google-become-bargaining-chips-in-us-trade-war-eu-threatens-retaliation-uk-offers-tax-relief-for-lower-tariffs">seeking to ease tensions</a> with Trump over trade tariffs by offering substantial tax breaks to major American tech companies.
The proposed relief would impact digital giants such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Google, Facebook, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and others currently paying the UK's DST.

Gold prices surged past $3,212 per ounce on Friday, reaching a new record high as mining stocks continued their impressive post-inauguration rally amid escalating U.S.-China trade tensions.
What Happened: Since President Donald Trump&#8216;s Jan. 20 inauguration, major gold mining stocks have climbed over 20%, with several companies posting year-to-date gains exceeding 30% as investors seek safe-haven assets.
On Thursday, the U.S. announced a 125% tariff on Chinese imports on top of an existing 20% duty, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44753780/us-stock-futures-fall-nikkei-crashes-over-5-as-markets-reel-from-trumps-tariff-shock">bringing the total to 145%</a>. This move overshadowed Trump&#8217;s 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most other countries.
Gold stocks with over 20% year-to-date gains rallied further on Thursday amid trade tensions and record gold prices.

Gold Miners Rally As Bullion Hits $3,212: Trump Tariffs Fuel Over 20% Year-To-Date Surge Across Sector

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) CEO Andy Jassy has warned that President Donald Trump's new tariffs on Chinese imports could result in higher prices for consumers, as many of the company's third-party sellers are unlikely to absorb the additional costs.
What Happened: "I understand why, I mean, depending on which country you're in, you don't have 50% extra margin that you can play with," Jassy said in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-says-he-believes-sellers-will-pass-increased-tariff-costs-on-to-consumers.html">interview</a> with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on Thursday. "I think they'll try and pass the cost on."
Jassy acknowledged the challenge, saying Amazon has made "strategic forward inventory buys" and is working to renegotiate purchase order terms to soften the blow.

Despite this, some early consumer behavior indicates that shoppers may be preparing for potential price hikes.&nbsp;
"In certain categories, we do see people buying ahead," Jassy noted. "But it's hard to know if it's just an anomaly in the data because it's just a few days, or how long it's going to last."
Why It Matters: Trump's executive order last week imposed steep tariffs — as high as 125% — on Chinese goods while reducing duties for other countries. A large part of Amazon's business relies on third-party sellers — about 60% of products sold on Amazon come from them.

Amazon customers are not the only ones who might be affected. Analysts previously predicted that if Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) chooses to pass these additional costs onto customers, iPhone prices could <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44655937/trump-tariffs-could-spike-iphone-prices-to-almost-2300-if-apple-decides-to-pass-on-the-costs-to-buyers">jump by as much as 30% to 40%</a>.
Wendong Zhang of Cornell <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/business/trump-china-tariffs-prices-goods.html">told</a> The New York Times that tariffs could seriously impact the U.S. economy, noting that China provides most of America's smartphones, laptops, game consoles, and toys.
Prices of low-cost items like fast fashion may also rise, as discount retailers like Shein and Temu heavily <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44714336/temu-shein-brace-for-impact-as-trumps-tariff-torpedo-blows-up-the-800-loophole">depend on Chinese vendors</a>.

What Happened: Speaking with Simon Nixon, the publisher of the Wealth of Nations newsletter at the 10th Delphi Economic Forum in Greece this week, Roubini had a rather optimistic take on the state of the economy, owing to the recent advances in AI, as <a href="https://greekreporter.com/2025/04/10/nouriel-roubini-predicts-global-growth-surge/#">reported</a> by Geek Reporter.
He said &#8220;Artificial intelligence is set to transform a dozen major sectors, propelling economic growth,&#8221; before adding that by the end of this decade &#8220;U.S. growth could hit 4 percent. By the end of the next decade, we might see 6 percent.&#8221;

Saying that he&#8217;s gone from &#8220;Dr. Doom to Dr. Boom,&#8221; Roubini insists that technology will offset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/11/03/910566/econ-101-protectionism-for-dummies">protectionist policies</a>, and even amid the trade war, the U.S. economy will continue to expand, with that &#8220;growth spilling over to the rest of the world,&#8221; as for the first time in history, &#8220;we're entering a phase of exponential innovation.&#8221;
Roubini says that large companies will not wait for political clarity and that they aren&#8217;t concerned about tariffs. Taking a shot at Donald Trump, he says it won&#8217;t matter even if &#8220;Mickey Mouse is president—the economy will keep growing,&#8221; thanks to the momentum that innovation brings. 
Speaking about the <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44706557/kevin-oleary-calls-eu-tariff-proposal-a-huge-opportunity-for-trump-to-find-an-off-ramp-amid-global-market-volatility">impact of tariffs on Europe</a>, Roubini believes that while the 10% tariff isn&#8217;t ideal, it won&#8217;t &#8220;devastate Europe&#8217;s economy.&#8221; He further predicts that Trump&#8217;s negotiations in this regard would likely involve demands for more defense spending, preferably through U.S. defense contractors, and commitments to purchase more American LNG. 
He, however, believes that negotiations with China will be a lot more fraught since Chinese Premier Xi Jinping &#8220;doesn&#8217;t face elections&#8221; and is thus less likely to blink, preferring to inject a massive fiscal stimulus package, devalue the Yuan, or boost domestic consumption instead.
While he is no fan of Trump&#8217;s trade policies, calling them &#8220;crazy and unfair,&#8221; Roubini does concede that China &#8220;needs to reform its economic model,&#8221; adding that it&#8217;s not just the U.S. demanding change, but &#8220;rest of the world expects it too.&#8221; 
Why It Matters: Roubini has been increasingly vocal over the past couple of days, and just last week referred to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44620056/dr-doom-nouriel-roubini-trumps-liberation-day-tariff-label-is-orwellian-doublespeak-us-playing-with-fire">Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement</a> on &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217; as "literally Orwellian doublespeak."
He later warned that the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677685/dr-doom-roubini-warns-markets-delusional-about-fed-rescue-as-trump-xi-jinping-jerome-powell-locked-in-high-stakes-standoff">markets were delusional</a> about the Fed&#8217;s willingness to step in amid escalating trade tensions, describing the situation as a &#8220;three-way game of chicken&#8221; between Trump, Jerome Powell, and Xi Jinping, with Trump being mostly likely to blink first.
Price Action: It has been 9 days since Liberation Day, and the S&amp;P 500 (INDEXSP: .INX) is down 7%, the Nasdaq (INDEXNASDAQ: .IXIC) by 6.8%, and the Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) that invests predominantly in AI stocks is down 8.5%, as markets expect a tariff-driven recession.

Dr. Doom Transforms To Dr. Boom, Nouriel Roubini Says Mickey Mouse Could Be US President And 'Economy Will Keep Growing'

Peter Schiff, a well-known economist, took to social media on Thursday to express his views on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the context of the current market conditions. He stated that while Bitcoin emerged from the 2008 financial crisis, the ongoing financial turmoil of 2025 could mark its end. Schiff&#8217;s statement comes amid heightened financial instability and economic challenges.
What Happened: Schiff&#8217;s post on X highlighted his skepticism towards Bitcoin, which he has often criticized in the past. He has previously referred to Bitcoin as a &#8220;digital risk,&#8221; especially during times of economic uncertainty.

<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Bitcoin was born out of the financial crisis of 2008. Ironically, the financial crisis of 2025 will kill it.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1910453702449643572?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
His remarks also coincide with recent discussions on tariff policies and their impact on the economy. Schiff has been vocal about his criticism of Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff strategies, likening them to historical economic blunders.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44749223/trump-affiliated-world-liberty-financial-denies-8-million-ethereum-sell-off-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump-Affiliated World Liberty Financial Denies $8 Million Ethereum Sell-Off Loss</a>
Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s views mirror a broader skepticism among some economists regarding the stability of cryptocurrencies. In a recent analysis, Schiff labeled Bitcoin as a &#8220;digital risk&#8221; amid tariff concerns, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44605294/peter-schiff-calls-bitcoin-digital-risk-amid-tariff-fears-if-it-were-truly-digital-gold">questioning its status</a> as &#8220;digital gold.&#8221; 
Schiff&#8217;s critique also ties into his broader economic commentary, where he has compared Trump&#8217;s tariff policies to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44732982/donald-trump-reduced-himself-to-a-paper-tiger-says-peter-schiff-after-comparing-tariff-rollout-and-pause-to-the-hindenburg-of-trial-balloons">infamous Hindenburg disaster</a>, suggesting they expose vulnerabilities in the U.S. economy. 
Furthermore, Schiff has warned against taking investment advice from the Trump family, especially after Eric Trump&#8217;s endorsement of the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which saw a significant price drop.
Despite Schiff&#8217;s dire prediction, history tells a different story. According to Bitcoindeaths.com, had an investor put just $100 into Bitcoin each time it was declared &#8220;dead&#8221; — which has happened 429 times to date — they would now be sitting on more than $83 million. The cryptocurrency has repeatedly defied its critics&#8217; obituaries.

Bitcoin's Final Crash? Peter Schiff Predicts 2025 Crisis Will End What 2008 Created

TikTok has reportedly laid off some of its U.S.-based e-commerce governance and experience team, just days after President Donald Trump <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44655624/trumps-tariff-hike-pushes-back-tiktok-us-deal-as-china-opposes-the-sale-extending-the-deadline-for-bytedances-divestment">extended the deadline</a> for parent company ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations.
What Happened: The layoffs affected members of the Governance and Experience team, which handles marketplace safety, seller compliance, and intellectual property protection within TikTok Shop, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-lays-off-staff-ecommerce-restructuring-2025-4">reported</a> Business Insider, citing five employees at the company.&nbsp;The total number of job cuts is yet unclear.
TikTok's e-commerce unit has been under scrutiny from global leadership after falling short of expectations. In February, top executive Bob Kang criticized the team during an all-hands meeting, and several employees received low performance review scores in March, leading to severance-based exits or performance improvement plans.

This round of layoffs follows earlier cuts in February to TikTok's global trust and safety team, which oversees broader content moderation.
TikTok did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: The move coincides with fresh uncertainty about TikTok's future in the U.S. Last week, Trump extended the deadline for ByteDance to divest TikTok, giving the company an additional 75 days. The previous deadline had expired Saturday.
A deal had reportedly been approved by ByteDance, the U.S. government, and new American investors but collapsed after Trump imposed steep new tariffs on Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to withhold approval.

In January, ahead of TikTok's initially proposed ban date, Wall Street analysts <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tiktok-ban-stock-winners-alternatives-meta-alphabet-youtube-snap-reddit-2025-1">identified</a> three stocks that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43072303/mark-zuckerberg-stands-to-gain-from-tiktoks-us-ban-analysis-shows-meta-could-reap-billions-in-ad-revenue">experience significant gains</a>: Meta Platforms, Inc.

Meta is widely seen as the top contender to benefit from a TikTok ban. Morgan Stanley analysts suggest that the company stands to gain the most, noting that if just 10% of TikTok users in the U.S. shift their screen time to Meta&#8217;s apps, it could boost Meta's 2026 earnings-per-share (EPS) by approximately $0.60—raising its estimate to around $30 per share.
Deutsche Bank analysts see Snap as the company with the most to gain in terms of percentage upside.
YouTube, Alphabet's video platform, also stands to benefit—especially its short-form content segment. Morgan Stanley estimates that if YouTube manages to draw in 10% of TikTok's screen time, it could see an additional $750 million in ad revenue, representing a 2% lift for YouTube's projected 2026 ad revenue. That would equate to a modest 0.3% increase in Alphabet's total advertising income.
Meta holds a strong growth score of 74.91% based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. You can see how it compares to Snap, Alphabet, and other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">companies by clicking here</a>.

TikTok E-Commerce Team Reportedly Hit With Layoffs Days After Trump's ByteDance Deadline Reset

The cryptocurrency market cap dropped 2.80% in 24 hours to $2.54 trillion following President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff announcement, imposing a 145% duty on Chinese imports and a 10% universal tariff on most other goods.

On Thursday, Trump signed legislation nullifying a revised Internal Revenue Service rule that had expanded the definition of &#8220;broker&#8221; to include decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
The rule, finalized during former President Joe Biden&#8216;s administration, was criticized by the crypto industry as unworkable for DeFi platforms that lack visibility into user identities. This action fulfills part of Trump&#8217;s campaign promise to be a &#8220;crypto president.&#8221;
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered at 21, remaining in &#8220;Fear&#8221; territory for the second consecutive day, significantly down from November&#8217;s yearly high of 88.
Over $297.81 million in crypto positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, affecting 101,191 traders. The largest single liquidation occurred on Binance&#8217;s ETH-USDT pair, worth $11.85 million, according to CoinGlass.

Analyst Notes:
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted the correlation between Yuan strength and Ethereum performance, suggesting a Yuan bounce could improve conditions for altcoins. He added that a decline in Treasury yields and gold prices, alongside dollar weakness, would create favorable conditions for the crypto market.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Tumble As Trump Ups China Tariffs, Scraps IRS Rule In Nod To Crypto Voters: Rising Yuan Could Boost Altcoins, Says Analyst

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made notable trades, prominently featuring Tempus AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>). The trades came as Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44744139/wall-street-tumbles-dollar-crashes-gold-hits-record-highs-as-inflation-cools-more-than-predicted-whats-driving-markets-thursday">reversed Wednesday's rally</a> with a sharp selloff, as cooling inflation and hopes for Fed cuts were overshadowed by economic uncertainty and a 145% China tariff announcement by the Trump administration.
The Tempus AI Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, the ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), acquired 48,909 shares of Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), valued at approximately $1.97 million based on the closing price of $40.29.
Tempus AI has been gaining attention for its advancements in AI-driven healthcare solutions. Ark has been trading shares of the company actively. Last week, it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44704064/cathie-wood-loads-up-on-18-2-million-worth-of-nvidia-stock-adds-5-8-million-worth-of-amazon-shares-to-her-shopping-cart-amid-trump-tariff-upheaval">scooped up</a> stock worth $1.74 million.
The Coinbase Trade
In another significant move, ARKK purchased 11,849 shares of Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), amounting to approximately $2.01 million based on the closing price of $169.62. This acquisition comes at a time when the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency trading in the U.S. is evolving, potentially making crypto leverage trading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44739006/crypto-leverage-trading-in-the-us-may-become-more-accessible-heres-why">more accessible</a> to retail investors.
Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced plans to introduce a first-of-its-kind perpetual-style product in the U.S. and is also reportedly in talks to acquire crypto derivatives exchange Deribit

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought National Health Investors Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $70.66 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 142 shares. Currently, shares trade at $70.20, meaning your investment's value could have declined to $9,935 from stock price depreciation. However, National Health Investors also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
National Health Investors' dividend yield is currently 5.04%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $38.91 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $5,507 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $9,935 and $5,507, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $15,442. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in National Health Investors stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 54.42%. However, this figure is significantly less than the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period, which was 193.10%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>
National Health Investors has a consensus rating of "Hold" and a price target of $68 based on the ratings of 14 analysts. The price target implies a more than 3% potential downside from the current stock price.
On Feb. 25, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $1.12, compared to the consensus of $1.11, and revenues of $85.75 million, compared to the consensus of $82.67 million, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43957300/national-health-investors-q4-2024-ffo-1-12-beats-1-11-estimate-sales-85-75m-beat-82-67m-estimate">Benzinga.</a>

Alibaba, Jpmorgan, Carmax, Janover, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

U.S. stock futures fell on Thursday night as investors prepared to close a volatile trading week marked by dramatic market swings. 
Nasdaq-100 futures led declines, dropping 1.26% to 18,251.75, while S&amp;P 500 futures fell 1.04% to 5,247.00 and Dow futures slipped 0.88% to 39,448.00.
Japan's Nikkei 225 tumbled 5.39% to 32,744.89 in early Friday trading, shedding 1,864 points amid global market volatility. U.S. Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year up 8.4 basis points to 4.47% and the 30-year up 9.6 basis points to 4.94%.
Gold prices surged, with June COMEX contracts rising 1.61% to $3,228.60 as demand for safe-haven assets increased.
Markets remain on edge after President Donald Trump rolled out a temporary 10% universal tariff on most imports, while slapping China with a steep 145% duty, the White House <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/trumps-triple-digit-tariff-essentially-cuts-off-most-trade-with-china-says-economist.html">told</a> CNBC. Still, Trump struck a hopeful tone, expressing confidence in eventually <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44740040/chinas-growth-outlook-dims-as-trumps-125-tariffs-put-millions-of-jobs-at-risk-goldman-warns">reaching a deal with Beijing</a>.
&#8220;Would love to be able to work a deal with China,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44748635/stocks-bounce-off-session-lows-after-trump-says-china-deal-is-going-to-work-out">told reporters at the White House</a>. &#8220;I think we will end up working out something good for both nations.&#8221;
The comments helped major indexes trim earlier losses, with the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed at 5,268, down 3.46% after falling more than 4% midday. The Nasdaq-100, tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), lost 4.19%, dropping to the 18,343 level.
Traders will face additional catalysts on Friday, including major bank earnings from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. and Wells Fargo &amp; Co., along with crucial March <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44751312/wall-street-on-edge-bank-earnings-inflation-data-consumer-sentiment-set-stage-for-friday-fireworks">producer price inflation data</a> that could influence Federal Reserve policy decisions.

US Stock Futures Fall, Nikkei Crashes Over 5% As Markets Reel From Trump's Tariff Shock

The U.S. government has spent roughly $40 million in just six weeks to detain fewer than 400 migrants at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43350606/trump-pledges-to-send-up-to-30000-migrants-to-guantanamo-bay-detention-facility">Guantánamo Bay</a> Naval Base in Cuba, according to estimates shared by anonymous congressional aides with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/us/politics/migrants-guantanamo-costs.html#">The New York Times</a>. This operation, part of President Donald Trump's broader immigration enforcement efforts, has raised serious concerns among lawmakers, particularly regarding its high cost and military impact.
A Senate delegation visited Guantánamo in late March to assess the mission. The lawmakers toured the facilities, met with service members and officials, and came away highly critical of the effort. Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told The Times that the operation is "extraordinarily expensive and unnecessary," saying those resources could be better used to strengthen existing immigration facilities in the US.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Guantánamo?</h2>
The decision to use Guantánamo Bay, known for housing terrorism suspects, for immigration detention is both logistically complex and financially burdensome. The base is isolated from the rest of Cuba by a minefield and must generate its own electricity and water supply. Supplies are flown or shipped in from Florida. As a result, housing even a small number of people there comes at a steep cost.
Since February, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43882547/dhs-fires-fema-officials-after-deep-state-activists-sent-59m-to-nyc-migrant-hotels-trump-admin-claws-it-back">Department of Homeland Security</a> has transferred about 400 migrants to the base, many of them Venezuelan. Roughly half have since been moved back to the US or deported. At one point, as few as 85 people were being held, even as nearly 1,000 U.S. government employees, mostly military personnel, were assigned to the mission.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Military Involvement Raises Concerns</h2>
Lawmakers are also questioning the use of military resources for a task traditionally handled by civilian immigration authorities. In a joint <a href="https://www.reed.senate.gov/news/releases/after-visiting-guantanamo-bay-senators-blast-trump-admin-for-wasting-taxpayer-dollars-and-misusing-military-resources">statement</a>, Sens. Reed, Jeanne Shaheen, Gary Peters, Alex Padilla, and Angus King said that troops were "rushed to Guantánamo Bay without notice, leaving their critical day-to-day military missions behind in order to build tents that should never be filled and guard immigrants who should never be held there."
The senators emphasized that their concern lies with the mission — not the service members. "Our troops in Guantánamo have a uniquely difficult, demanding job," the statement read, praising their professionalism. Still, the lawmakers argued that using Guantánamo for migrant detention diverts military focus and may even be legally questionable.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legal and Transparency Questions Remain</h2>
So far, the administration has offered little public explanation about who is being sent to Guantánamo and why. A secret agreement between the Department of Defense and Homeland Security reportedly allows for the transfer of migrants with ties to transnational criminal organizations. However, some individuals sent to the base were only found to have crossed the border illegally — some more than once — but without any known violent criminal history.

According to The Times, the most recent detainees included Nicaraguans described by DHS as "gang members," though the government has not provided supporting details. Questions about the operation's legality and oversight continue to draw scrutiny, particularly from members of Congress who say they've been kept in the dark.

Following their visit, the senators urged the Trump administration to "immediately cease this misguided mission," calling it "unsustainably expensive" and "harmful to our military readiness." Despite their statement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement transported more migrants to the base just hours after their visit ended.

For now, one thing is clear: the use of this high-security base for a small group of migrants has sparked a heated debate—one likely to continue in the months ahead.

A 'Waste of Resources'? U.S. Spent $40 Million To Hold 400 Migrants At Guantánamo In Just 6 Weeks

<li>Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller says he's "a big advocate of stablecoins"</li>
<li>Voicing his support for stablecoin acts like the GENIUS act and the STABLE act, he says he sees no need for the government to develop a coin of its own</li>

</ul>
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that he's a fan of stablecoins and believes they have a place in the payment system, but does not see the need for the government to adopt one of their own.&nbsp;
"I&#8217;ll say I&#8217;m a personal, big advocate of stablecoins. I have been saying this for over three-plus years now, about how this could bring competition, efficiency and speed into the payments system,&#8221; he told audience members at a conference held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Friday, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/feds-waller-stablecoins-bring-benefits-payment-system-2025-04-04/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to have a stable price. Their value is attached to that of another asset, like gold or a government-issued currency, in order to maintain a more consistent value. Originally designed to help bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, there are currently around 200 globally distributed stablecoins on the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recently, two stablecoin-oriented bills have been working their way through Congress. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/394/text/is">GENIUS Act of 2025</a>, and the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act of 2025, or the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2392/text/ih?overview=closed&amp;format=xml">STABLE Act of 2025</a>, both seek to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins. The difference between the bills lies in their scope and approach, but the passing of either one would increase the chances of Congress passing a law certifying stablecoins as a global financial tool.&nbsp;

Thus far, stablecoin legislation has received bipartisan support. But Waller said Friday that he saw no need for the government to create its own stablecoin should either of the bills pass. "I prefer to let the private sector solve these problems,&#8221; Reuters quoted him as saying. &#8220;It&#8217;s not my job as an unelected bureaucrat to tell everybody how they should do things."
As for the concerns that tons of new stablecoins will flood the market should the legislation pass, Waller said watchers shouldn't worry. "I don't think… there's going to be 100 stablecoins circulating after the legislation happens." Though two companies, Tether and Codex, have already indicated that they will make moves to establish their own stablecoins in the US as soon as there are regulations firmly in place, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1b3cccad-ad33-4dd9-b2b6-1514f80e39ad">Financial Times</a> and <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/04/04/codex-seed-round-dragonfly-coinbase-circle-15-8-million/">Fortune</a>.&nbsp;
Waller's stance on crypto aligns with President Donald Trump's, who promised last month to make the US "the crypto capital of the world."&nbsp;
