The Joe Biden administration is reportedly considering restricting the export of advanced AI chips from Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) to specific countries.
What Happened: The proposal which hasn't been finalized yet aims to limit the AI capabilities of certain nations, citing national security concerns, with a focus on Persian Gulf countries, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-15/us-weighs-capping-exports-of-ai-chips-from-nvidia-and-amd-to-some-countries">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.
The development comes following the introduction of the framework that intends to streamline the licensing process for AI chip shipments to data centers in regions such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

If finalized, these caps would strengthen restrictions initially aimed at curbing China's ambitions in AI.
The Biden administration has already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38024971/china-criticizes-us-chip-export-rules-impacting-nvidia-and-amd">limited AI chip exports</a> from companies such as Nvidia and AMD to over 40 nations across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia due to concerns that the technology could be redirected to China.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that despite U.S. semiconductor sanctions, Nvidia&#8217;s AI chips continue to find their way into Chinese markets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40748185/chinas-markets-still-manage-to-get-nvidia-ai-chips-via-smuggling-report">through smuggling</a> and other channels.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, China has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41204521/nvidias-gpu-sales-at-risk-as-china-pushes-local-ai-chips-in-retaliation">pushed for local AI chips</a> including those made by companies like Huawei Technologies, in retaliation against the U.S. sanctions. These efforts could impact Nvidia's GPU sales.
On Monday, Nvidia's stock reached an all-time high. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41318786/nvidia-trump-media-technology-bausch-lomb-sirius-xm-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-monday">stock climbed 2.9%</a>, surpassing $138.71, after its prior record close of $135.58 set in June.
The AI chip giant currently has a market cap of $ 3.386, making it the second most valuable company in the world after Apple Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Sony Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), and Bandai Namco (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCBDF#OTC">NCBDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCBDY#OTC">NCBDY</a>) as the top beneficiaries of the expanding anime market, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/15/netflix-and-more-jefferies-names-stocks-set-to-benefit-from-a-60-billion-anime-boom.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Jefferies&#8217; analysts noted that the global entertainment industry is increasingly focusing on anime-related businesses as a core part of their growth strategies. The primary driver of this trend is the rapid expansion of the overseas market, which has grown to match the size of the Japanese market since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The analysts predict that this growth will be driven by increased anime distribution on streaming platforms and a surge in licensing revenues from merchandise and advertising use.
Jefferies also highlighted the significant global impact of Japanese anime IP, with the top six franchises generating a combined revenue of $311 billion, dwarfing the Marvel Cinematic Universe&#8217;s $30 billion.

Netflix, which has been actively licensing and funding several anime series, is expected to continue its anime strategy into the foreseeable future. Sony Group, described as a leader in anime production and streaming, is also set to benefit from the anime market. 
Bandai Namco, known for leveraging anime IP for various products and digital games, is experiencing rising anime IP popularity through overseas sales expansion. It has produced popular games like the Shonen Jump series and Dragon Ball franchise.
Why It Matters: The anime industry has been experiencing significant growth and diversification, with companies like BloomZ Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMZ#NASDAQ">BLMZ</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41274383/why-is-japanese-anime-production-company-bloomz-stock-jumping-on-thursday">expanding their revenue streams</a> through strategic acquisitions and project rights. 
This growth has also been reflected in the music industry, with Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40470764/spotify-boasts-395-surge-in-anime-music-streams-teams-up-with-crunchyroll">reporting a 395% surge</a> in anime music streams since 2021.

This growth, however, has also raised concerns about copyright infringement, as seen in the case of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/09/34368362/japanese-youtuber-faces-jail-time-for-monetizing-gameplay-videos">Japanese YouTuber who was sentenced</a> to two years in prison for monetizing gameplay videos without permission from publishers.

Netflix One Of The Key Beneficiaries Of $60B Anime Boom, Says Jefferies — Here Are The Others

The team behind World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) project backed by former President Donald Trump, stated that the best way to "Make "America Great" using cryptocurrencies was to encourage the usage of U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins rather than speculative, risky assets.&nbsp;&nbsp;
What happened: The team held a live stream via X Spaces Monday to give details about the widely-publicized project ahead of a token sale.
Zak Folkman, part of the founding team, said that the platform was inspired by the ideals envisioned by Donald Trump, which is to make financial opportunities accessible to everyone while at the same time supporting the U.S. economy

"Through stablecoins, we can in fact make the dollar not only strong but make it safe as the world&#8217;s reserve currency for the next 5000 years," Folkman said.&nbsp;
He emphasized several advantages of the cryptocurrency derivatives of the dollar, such as their stable value and the 1:1 redemption feature.&nbsp;
"We really believe that&#8217;s the best way to make America great through crypto," Holkman stated. "It&#8217;s not through speculating on risky assets."
"Nobody&#8217;s gonna walk into a store and figure out ok, my groceries are $230, how many Satoshis is that? It just doesn&#8217;t make sense," Zolkman added further, pointing toward Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).

Why It Matters: The much-touted DeFi project was launched by Trump last month, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41303639/donald-trump-says-his-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-will-start-selling-tokens-on-"> the sale of the project's governance token</a> WLFI set for Tuesday.&nbsp;
The project aims to raise $300 million from the initial sale of the token by offering 20% of the supply at a $1.5 billion fully diluted valuation.&nbsp;
Mark Cuban, a leading cryptocurrency advocate, and a Trump critic, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41307276/mark-cuban-questions-trumps-motive-behind-wlfi-token-sale-former-prez-failed-in-the-bitcoi">questioned the rationale behind such a move</a>, stating, "I&#8217;ll let this stand on its own."

Notably on the day, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged above $65,000, driven by bullish sentiment and liquidations of downside bets, with market confidence boosted ahead of U.S. elections and a shift from neutral to greed in market sentiment. Robinhood, a popular platform among retail traders, enables users to trade cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly experiencing a shortage in inventory for several of its products, leading to speculation about the imminent launch of new models.
What Happened: On Monday, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman took to X, formerly Twitter, and said that retail inventory for several Apple products, including iMacs, MacBook Pros, Mac minis, iPad minis, and their accessories, is running low.
Such inventory shortages are often indicative of a company preparing to introduce updated versions of its products.
Interestingly, Gurman pointed out that the entry-level iPad is not experiencing the same inventory issues.

The video suggested that the M4 MacBook Pro would come with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM. This leak came during the same time when Gurman reported that Apple is likely to unveil its first M4-powered Macs on Nov. 1.
The expected lineup includes a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip, along with higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros featuring the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
He noted that Apple could also introduce a refreshed iMac with the M4 chip, a revamped Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro options, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40567373/apple-prepping-ipad-mini-refresh-top-analyst-says-stock-shortages-hint-at-ai-powered-update-after-tw">and a new iPad mini</a>.

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez drew attention to his projection from last month and how things were going as anticipated.
On Sept. 23, the analyst had predicted Bitcoin's fall to $60,000, followed by a rebound to $66,000, a retrace to $57,000, and finally a breakout toward $78,000.
Martinez remarked that with the first three prerequisites met, King Crypto was on track for $78,000.

Another widely-followed technical analyst, Rekt Capital stated that Bitcoin needed one daily close above $65,000 and a subsequent retest to sail into the $65000-$71350 area.
"Each of these moves have ended in lower highs, but there is a good chance that this series of lower highs could end with a daily close above $65,000," the analyst said.

What Happened: Gita Gopinath, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, took to social media to congratulate the winners. &#8220;Good institutions are critical to a country&#8217;s prosperity,&#8221; Gopinath emphasized, underscoring the significance of the trio&#8217;s work.

Paul Krugman, a Nobel laureate himself, praised the winners&#8217; research on X. &#8220;Their work on how colonial regimes focused on resource extraction inflicted long-term damage was clever and important,&#8221; Krugman wrote, noting its current relevance.

Jason Furman, a key figure in the 44th President Barack Obama&#8216;s administration, offered a detailed analysis of the award&#8217;s importance. He congratulated the winners &#8220;for helping to show how empiricism can shed light on some of the deepest and most important questions we face&#8211;in this case why some countries are rich and some are poor.&#8221;
Furman contextualized the award within the broader evolution of economic growth theory. He contrasted the empirical approach of Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson with earlier theoretical models, such as those of Robert Solow and Paul Romer. &#8220;Unlike theory, empiricism is like an edifice that builds up over time with the higher layers subsuming the lower ones,&#8221; Furman explained. &#8220;But the edifice will be taller and stronger because of their work.&#8221;

Nvidia, Microstrategy, Trump Media & Technology, Sofi Technologies, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

In a recent post on X, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk outlined his vision for making life multiplanetary, emphasizing the need for a significant leap in rocket technology to reduce costs.
What Happened: On Monday, Musk responded to a post about the cost of launching to low earth orbit. He explained that to make life multiplanetary, rocket and spacecraft technology needs to improve by 1000X. He pointed out that recent US Mars missions have cost about $1B per ton of useful load to the surface of Mars, a figure that has been increasing over time.

Musk emphasized the monumental cost hurdles humanity faces in making life on Mars a reality, while expressing optimism about future advancements in rocket technology. Musk, responding to a user with the handle &#8220;Whole Mars Catalog.&#8221;
Musk began by acknowledging the astronomical costs involved, stating that recent U.S. Mars missions have had a cost per ton of useful load to the Martian surface at around $1 billion. "It has become more, not less, expensive over time!" he added, stressing the increasing difficulty of reducing these costs with existing technology.
He explained that building a self-sustaining city on Mars would require at least a million tons of equipment, amounting to a cost of over $1,000 trillion. Musk highlighted the impracticality of this figure, pointing out that it far exceeds the current U.S. GDP of $29 trillion.
However, Musk expressed confidence that advancements in rocket technology could bring this cost down by 1,000 times, potentially making the total cost for colonization around $1 trillion. He added that if this could be spread over 40 years, it would translate to less than $25 billion annually, a more feasible number that &#8220;wouldn't materially affect people's standard of living on Earth.&#8221;
Musk specifically pointed to SpaceX's Starship, which is designed to achieve the 1,000X improvement needed to reduce costs. He noted the success of recent tests, stating, "especially after yesterday's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41305295/spacex-notches-another-milestone-with-first-booster-catch">booster catch</a> and precise ocean landing of the ship, I am now convinced that it can work."

Elon Musk's Mars Mission Math: 'Building A Self-Sustaining City Would Require At Least A Million Tons Of Equipment' — The Price Tag: A Mind-Boggling $1000 Trillion

Sebastien Bubeck, the vice president of GenAI research at&nbsp;Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is set to join ChatGPT-parent, OpenAI.
What Happened: While Bubeck&#8217;s new role at OpenAI remains undisclosed, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the move, reported Reuters.
&#8220;Sebastian has decided to leave&nbsp;Microsoft to further his work&nbsp;toward developing AGI,&#8221; the spokesperson stated, expressing the company&#8217;s anticipation to continue&nbsp;their relationship through Bubeck&#8217;s work&nbsp;with OpenAI.

The Information initially <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/microsoft-ai-researcher-sebastien-bubeck-to-join-openai?rc=v4bmzs">reported</a> Bubeck&#8217;s departure, stating that most of his coauthors from the research paper on Microsoft&#8217;s Phi LLMs—smaller than conventional large language models—are still with the company and intend to keep advancing the models.
This move&nbsp;follows a series of departures&nbsp;from OpenAI, including the exit&nbsp;of longtime chief technology officer&nbsp;Mira Murati in September.
However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has refuted any connection between these&nbsp;departures and the company&#8217;s planned restructuring, the report noted.

Why It Matters: Bubeck&#8217;s move to OpenAI comes at a time when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/10/41237091/microsoft-stock-nears-death-cross-as-openai-partnership-weakens-time-to-lock-in-gains">Microsoft&#8217;s partnership with OpenAI</a>&nbsp;is reportedly showing signs of strain.
Previously, it was reported that OpenAI is moving towards greater autonomy from Microsoft&#8217;s cloud services by leasing data centers from Oracle Corp in Texas.

Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, defended the Democratic presidential candidate&#8217;s grasp of cryptocurrencies and the significance they hold for young people.
What Happened: On Monday, Cuban defended Harris against allegations that the vice president lacked even a basic understanding of cryptocurrency and monetary policy. 
&#8220;She doesn't know everything. Unlike your guy [Trump], she doesn't pretend. She understands the connection cryptocurrency has to young people. And she spoke about it today,&#8221; Cuban said, highlighting Harris&#8217; latest cryptocurrency regulatory framework.
Cuban also took potshots at Republican challenger Donald Trump, stating that Harris was not trying to sell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41307276/mark-cuban-questions-trumps-motive-behind-wlfi-token-sale-former-prez-failed-in-the-bitcoi">tokens</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40076664/trump-launches-limited-edition-bitcoin-themed-sneakers-following-bitcoin-2024-keynote-repo">sneakers</a>, bibles, etc.

The famous &#8216;Shark Tank&#8217; celebrity also replied to concerns about why Harris cannot transfer state-owned Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to the Treasury Department to demonstrate her support for the leading cryptocurrency.
&#8220;There is a law in place that currently prevents it. Obviously, it&#8217;s been discussed. But no one can change it unilaterally,&#8221; Cuban said. 
Considered a close advisor to the Harris campaign team, Cuban said he argued for holding onto confiscated cryptocurrency assets and warned against the consequences of dumping a huge quantity of Bitcoins into the market in quick successions.

Mark Cuban Defends Kamala Harris' Crypto Knowledge, Appears To Take Dig At Trump For Selling Tokens And Merchandise: 'Unlike Your Guy, She Doesn't Pretend'

Trump-Era White House national security advisor, John Bolton, has called on Israel to target Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, despite worldwide appeals for moderation following Iran&#8217;s recent missile attack.
What Happened: Bolton said on X on Monday, &#8220;The Israeli government should consider retaliating against Iran by going after its nuclear weapons program.&#8221;
&#8220;Iran having nuclear weapons directly threatens Israel&#8217;s national security as well as America&#8217;s.&#8221;

He shared an <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/10808015/israel-iran-nuclear-program-john-bolton/">article</a> from Canada&#8217;s Global News in which he was quoted as saying, &#8220;I think that's the point where Israel can have the maximum impact, precisely by going after the nuclear weapons program.&#8221; The former U.S. official said that there was &#8220;no guarantee&#8221; that Israel would have another opportunity that was as good.
In an interview with Mercedes Stephenson on The West Block, Bolton underscored the need for Israel to prevent Iran&#8217;s next attack from involving a nuclear warhead, according to the report.
&#8220;If you're Israel, and you've seen in both the April attack from Iran and the Oct. 1 attack hundreds of ballistic missiles launched at you, you could have no confidence that the next time you see a ballistic missile coming from Iran, that under its nose cone it might not have a nuclear weapon.&#8221;

His latest call for action comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41321699/oil-prices-drop-after-netanyahu-says-israel-will-attack-military-not-oil-or-nuclear-targets-in-iran">expressed willingness to strike military targets</a> rather than oil or nuclear facilities in Iran. This decision was seen as a move to avoid political interference in the U.S. elections and to prevent a surge in energy prices.
However, experts have warned that any Israeli military action targeting Iranian facilities could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41309234/israels-attack-on-iran-would-rattle-the-nerves-of-oil-market-says-expert">significantly impact global oil prices</a> and lead to potential disruptions in the energy markets. This adds another layer of complexity to the already tense geopolitical situation.
Notably oil prices fell on Monday after Netanyahu said that Israel will not target Iran&#8217;s oil or nuclear targets.At the time of writing WTI Crude November 2024 futures traded 2.9% lower at $71.70. ICE Brent Crude December 2024 futures were down 2.8% at $75.28.

John Bolton Says Israel Should Strike Iran By 'Going After Its Nuclear Weapons Program' — Tehran's Nukes Threaten America's Security

Leading Chinese carmakers have dismissed the idea of challenging Europe&#8217;s legacy manufacturers with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41311787/tesla-rival-byd-slams-eu-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-needs-more-positive-education-trust-is-low">cheaper electric vehicles</a>.
What Happened: At the Paris motor show, Chinese carmakers, including Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNZUF#OTC">GNZUF</a>), emphasized their long-term commitment to the European market. This comes amidst a trade war between Beijing and Brussels and fears of a potential &#8220;invasion,&#8221; <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f0e8cf38-c5b3-4288-b9b3-4f12132628d3">reported</a> the Financial Times on Sunday.
&#8220;We&#8217;re a 10-year-old company. We&#8217;re not going to overthrow anybody who&#8217;s developed over 100 years,&#8221; said Xpeng co-president Brian Gu, while showcasing an electric saloon with advanced artificial intelligence technology. He added that Xpeng aims to be the provider of &#8220;premium electric vehicles&#8221; in Europe and does not intend to compete on price.
Chinese state-owned carmaker GAC, which is also making inroads in the region, echoed a similar sentiment, emphasizing the potential economic benefits of its entry into the European markets and its willingness to collaborate with European suppliers.

These statements come amid growing political anxiety in Europe over the potential risks posed to the region&#8217;s industry. In early October, EU member states <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39635158/eu-imposes-provisional-duties-of-as-much-as-37-6-on-chinese-ev-imports">agreed on tariffs of up to 45% on Chinese EVs</a> in an effort to counter their advance. This has led to a series of profit warnings from local manufacturers.
Why It Matters: The European Union&#8217;s protectionist stance against Chinese EVs has been a point of contention in the industry. The EU&#8217;s decision on tariffs for Chinese EVs could potentially lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41143690/european-tariffs-on-chinas-ev-makers-could-backfire">wider trade war with China</a>, as the 27-member bloc&#8217;s protectionist stance could hurt its export-dependent companies, and its EV targets, and threaten critical raw material supplies.
China has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40914629/china-warns-eu-tariffs-on-evs-will-harm-trade-with-germany">warned the EU</a> about the potential negative impacts on trade, especially with Germany, if the EU imposes tariffs on Chinese EVs. The situation has raised concerns about increased costs for consumers and potential impacts on the automotive market.
Meanwhile, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41311787/tesla-rival-byd-slams-eu-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-needs-more-positive-education-trust-is-low">slammed the proposed EU tariffs</a> on Chinese-made EVs, warning that they could increase costs and discourage buyers. This warning comes as European and Chinese automakers compete at the Paris car show, the largest in Europe, during a time of weak demand and rising costs.

Tesla's Chinese Rivals Move To Calm Fears Of An European 'Invasion' That Threatens Legacy Players: 'Not Going To Overthrow Anybody Who's Developed Over 100 Years'

Former President Donald Trump has gained a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among early voters in battleground states.
What Happened: The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll reveals that 48% of early voters in key swing states are in favor of Trump, while Harris has the support of 47%. An additional 5% of the respondents either opted for another candidate or had not yet cast their vote. &#8220;Trump's swing state strategy is paying off,&#8221; noted Mark Penn, the poll&#8217;s co-director, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4932890-donald-trump-kamala-harris-battleground-states-harvard-harris-survey/">reported</a> The Hill.
Despite Trump&#8217;s slight advantage in swing states, Harris holds a substantial 8-point lead among early voters nationwide, with 51% support compared to Trump&#8217;s 43%. Overall, 45% of voters stated they&#8217;d be voting early, while 50% intend to vote on Election Day.
The poll, conducted from October 11-13, was based on responses from 3,145 registered voters, including 2,596 likely voters and 898 battleground state voters. The margin of error for the total sample was plus or minus 1.8 percentage points.
With less than a month to go until Election Day, the race for the Oval Office is incredibly close, with key battleground states expected to play a decisive role.

However, most Americans expressed a pessimistic outlook on the state of the country.
Simultaneously, the Democratic Party saw a dip in voter registration advantage in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nevada, potentially posing a challenge for Harris, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41306291/trouble-for-kamala-harris-ahead-pennsylvania-north-carolina-nevada-democrats-lose-voter-registration">Benzinga</a>.

Trump Ahead Of Harris Shows Poll Among Early Voters In Key Battlegrounds: Ex-President's 'Swing State Strategy' Is Paying Off

The debate over the effects of different <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/11/29549541/the-strongest-magic-mushroom-species">psilocybin mushroom strains</a> has long divided growers and users. Psilocybe cubensis varieties like Golden Teacher, B+ and Z-strain are often believed to have distinct psychedelic effects, leading to endless online discussions and confusion for newcomers trying to choose the &#8220;best&#8221; strain. However, as Double Blind <a href="https://doubleblindmag.com/variances-in-magic-mushroom-strains/">reported</a>, recent <a href="https://f1000research.com/articles/10-961?trk=public_post_comment-text">research</a> suggests that these strains may be more alike than they are different.
For years, the phrase &#8220;a cube is a cube&#8221; has been used to downplay the idea that specific Psilocybe cubensis strains offer unique psychedelic experiences. This statement rejects the notion that one strain is inherently better for certain uses, like microdosing or intense trips, emphasizing that the differences are largely superficial.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Science Behind Mushroom Strains</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magic-mushrooms">Psilocybin mushrooms</a> belong to the genus Psilocybe, with Psilocybe cubensis being the most commonly cultivated species. Within this species, strains or varieties, such as B+, Golden Teacher, and others, have been differentiated by their appearance, ease of cultivation and purported effects. Yet, as Kevin McKernan et al. demonstrated in a genetic study of 81 strains, there is minimal difference between many strains, even when sold by various vendors. The lack of genetic consistency between strains across different suppliers highlights that most of these variations are not as distinct as once thought.
&#8220;Strains are often little more than marketing labels,&#8221; notes Ian Bollinger, a scientist known for his work with Oakland Hyphae&#8217;s Hyphae Cup, a potency-testing competition. According to Bollinger, &#8220;Potency has less to do with the strain itself and more to do with the supporting of the strain. The three major factors that go into a potent mushroom are how you cultivate it, its genetics, and, furthermore, how you treat it afterward.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cultivation Over Strain</h3>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-grow-magic-mushrooms-at-home">cultivation process</a> plays a far greater role in determining the potency and quality of magic mushrooms than the specific strain being grown. In fact, even with genetically distinct strains like Penis Envy, known for its high psilocybin content, the difference in potency often comes down to how well the mushroom was grown, harvested and preserved. The data from the Hyphae Cup showed that, while Penis Envy is a common submission for potency testing, the results often overlap with those from other strains, further suggesting that cultivation techniques may overshadow any inherent genetic advantages.
Strains like Golden Teacher and B+ may have been originally named to denote specific traits, such as appearance or ease of growth, but over time, these traits become less reliable due to genetic drift and inconsistent spore-sharing practices. As Bollinger points out, only one of the key factors affecting potency is linked to genetics, making cultivation methods far more significant in determining the final product's effects.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Future Of Mushroom Strains</h3>
A 2023 <a href="https://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(23)01460-4">study</a> compared the genetic diversity of 86 cultivated strains and 38 wild strains from Australia, revealing that domesticated strains have far less genetic diversity. This raises questions about the impact of domestication on Psilocybe cubensis, as selective breeding may have reduced traits like contamination resistance, making modern cultivated strains weaker than their wild counterparts.
Looking forward, many experts suggest that instead of focusing on specific strains, growers and consumers should prioritize learning about optimal cultivation practices and experimenting with different species. Wild species like Psilocybe cyanescens, known for their higher potency and resilience to contamination, offer exciting possibilities for both growers and psychonauts.
Until there's more conclusive research on the differences between strains, experts advice for new growers is simple: pick a strain you like the sound of and focus on refining your cultivation technique. As Bollinger says, &#8220;The real magic is in how you grow and handle your mushrooms.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Colorado Sales Up 5% Quarter-To-Date</h3>
In Colorado, legal cannabis sales totaled $122 million in August, holding steady month-over-month but down 8% compared to $132 million in August 2023. However, on a quarter-to-date (QTD) basis, sales reached $245 million for July and August, up 5% from the $233 million recorded in April and May.
The Colorado Department of Revenue (CDOR) reported 673 adult-use dispensaries by the end of August, with an average revenue of $162,000 per dispensary, or approximately $1.9 million annually. This is a slight decline from $172,000 per dispensary in August 2023, but the year-over-year declines in revenue per dispensary have slowed, partially due to a 2% reduction in store count since January.
Notable companies with operations in Colorado include Schwazze (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHWZ#OTC">SHWZ</a>) and The Cannabist Company (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBSTF#OTC">CBSTF</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Connecticut Sales Flat Year-Over-Year</h3>
In Connecticut, legal cannabis sales reached $23.4 million in September, down 9% month-over-month but 7% lower than September 2023. Despite the monthly dip, quarterly sales totaled $74 million in Q3 2024, up 2% from Q2 2024.
With 51 dispensaries operating by the end of September, the average revenue per dispensary was $460,000 per month, down 14% from $535,000 in August.

Washington State University (WSU) researchers have received a $670,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to tackle cannabis misuse among young adults.
The project, led by Stacey Hust and Jessica Willoughby, will focus on educating college students in three states where cannabis is legal. The states are Washington, Illinois and New York, <a href="https://news.wsu.edu/news/2024/10/14/cannabis-intervention-project-receives-nih-backing/">reported</a> WSU Insider.
A particular focus of the study is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-edibles">cannabis edibles</a>, which are increasingly popular but often misunderstood.
The three-year NIH-funded initiative aims to develop and test a technology-based intervention designed to educate young adults on the risks of cannabis. The focus is set on edibles. 
Edibles are a growing segment of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-markets">cannabis market</a>. Yet, many users are unaware of the delayed onset of effects and misunderstand portion sizes, which can lead to accidental overconsumption.
"Adolescents and young adults are not necessarily educated consumers when it comes to cannabis," said Hust. "Our research has shown that many do not understand the THC content in edibles or how to properly gauge serving sizes."

The intervention project includes a mixed-media video presentation. It will be hosted by a former cannabis marketer and is designed to correct these misconceptions by helping users assess cannabis products more effectively. 
The program emphasizes reading labels and understanding THC levels, using examples like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40346905/thc-infused-soda-maker-ramps-up-market-presence-with-debut-in-mi-boosts-ca-product-offering">cannabis-infused sodas</a>.

</ul>
Preliminary results have shown the intervention successfully increased cannabis knowledge and awareness of health risks. 
Now, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/12/36048967/federal-agency-announces-new-cannabis-research-center-to-alleviate-study-barriers-regulatory-hur">NIH funding</a>, the WSU team will refine the program and test it on a larger scale, with plans to customize it for different states&#8217; regulations. 
Ultimately, the researchers hope to secure further funding for a national clinical trial to assess its long-term impact on cannabis use and misuse.

Curious About Cannabis Edibles? Fed Health Agency Funds Project To Study Use Among Young Adults

In a bid to control escalating gas prices, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has signed into law a bill that empowers his administration to regulate the state&#8217;s dwindling oil refineries. The move underscores California&#8217;s ongoing battle with affordability.
What Happened: Newsom approved the ABX 2 1 bill. The legislation mandates oil companies to prevent price surges due to maintenance issues and low supplies. The signing of the bill marks a decline in the political clout of Big Oil in California, a state actively transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/14/gavin-newsom-law-gas-prices-00183615">reported</a> Politico.
&#8220;They have been raking in unprecedented profits because they can,&#8221; said Newsom, according to the report. The governor said that the proposal was not about politics, but took the opportunity to take a potshot at Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. He said the industry was raising gas prices to &#8220;scare voters&#8221; into backing the ex-president.
Western States Petroleum Association CEO Cathy Reheis-Boyd said about the move by California, &#8220;For those ready to stop playing politics, we welcome the opportunity to address the real issues driving fuel prices higher for Californians and their families.&#8221;
Western States Petroleum Association includes companies such as ExxonMobil, Marathon Petroleum, and HFSinclair.

Set to come into effect in January, the law aims to curb price spikes that have seen the state&#8217;s average gas price exceed $6 per gallon in the past two years. It authorizes the California Energy Commission to require refiners to store more gas and share resupply plans with the state.
Why It Matters: The new law comes in the wake of rising concerns over gasoline prices in California. In September 2023, Tai Milder, the director of California&#8217;s Division of Petroleum Market Oversight, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/09/34914870/california-faces-rising-gasoline-prices-division-of-petroleum-market-oversight-raises-concerns">expressed concerns</a> over some refineries&#8217; failure to maintain adequate gasoline levels or import enough fuel to compensate for production shortfalls.
Furthermore, the state has been taking legal action against major oil companies. Last year, California <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/09/34649658/california-sues-exxon-shell-and-bp-over-shameful-deception-sickens-you-to-your-core">initiated a lawsuit</a> against Exxon Mobil Corporation, Shell PLC, BP P.L.C., ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corporation, and the American Petroleum Institute. The state accused these companies of concealing the dangers of fossil fuels for decades, leading to significant climate change-related damages.

Gavin Newsom Approves New Law to Tackle Gas Prices, Says Oil Industry Raising Prices To 'Scare Voters' Into Supporting Trump

In 2025, more than 30 million Americans can file their taxes for free through the IRS's Direct File program. This program was originally launched in 2024 as a pilot and is expanding to cover 24 states, more of which are expected to join in the future.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39874181/irs-finalizes-10-year-rule-for-retirement-withdrawals-making-things-even-more-insanely-complicat">The IRS</a> aims to simplify tax filing with Direct File and says the program is easy, secure and cost-free for eligible taxpayers. Here&#8217;s what you need to know if you're wondering whether you're eligible and what income types qualify.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a></li>
<li>This billion-dollar fund has invested in the next big real estate boom,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> here's how you can join for $10.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Can Use Direct File?</h2>
Only those who have lived in the eligible 24 states for all of 2024 can use Direct File. Participating states include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Alaska</li>
<li>Arizona</li>
<li>California</li>
<li>Connecticut</li>
<li>Florida</li>
<li>Idaho</li>
<li>Kansas</li>
<li>Maine</li>
<li>Maryland</li>
<li>Massachusetts</li>
<li>Nevada</li>
<li>New Hampshire</li>
<li>New Jersey</li>
<li>New Mexico</li>
<li>New York</li>
<li>North Carolina</li>
<li>Oregon</li>
<li>Pennsylvania</li>
<li>South Dakota</li>
<li>Tennessee</li>
<li>Texas</li>
<li>Washington state</li>
<li>Wisconsin</li>
<li>Wyoming</li>
</ul>

This program expansion was made possible by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40696394/inflation-jobs-and-taxes-how-trump-and-harris-economic-policies-differ">Biden-Harris Administration's Inflation Reduction Act</a>, providing a significant boost for working-class and middle-income families. According to a news release from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Americans spend an average of $270 and 13 hours filing taxes. The IRS aims to help individuals and families avoid these costs.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Types of Income Are Eligible?</h2>
With the Direct File program expansions, there will be more eligibility for different types of income, credits and deductions in 2025. Here's a breakdown of the income categories that qualify for free filing through direct file:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>W-2 Wage Income: This covers most employed workers.</li>
<li>Social Security Income: If you receive Social Security retirement benefits, you can file for free.</li>
<li>Unemployment Compensation: For those who received unemployment benefits in 2024, this income type is also eligible.</li>
<li>Interest Income: In 2025, the program expands to allow interest income above $1,500, making it easier for taxpayers with savings or investments to qualify.</li>
<li>Pension and Annuity Income: This includes non-IRA retirement income, a common source for retirees.</li>
</ul>
If your income comes from gig work, contract work (Form 1099-NEC), rental properties or self-employment, you'll need to explore other filing options, as Direct File does not yet support these.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Credits and Deductions You Can Claim</h2>
In addition to filing for free, Direct File users can take advantage of various tax credits and deductions. For the 2025 season, the program supports the following credits:
<ul>
<li>Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): A vital credit for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40586670/survey-finds-46-of-middle-class-workers-are-halting-or-cutting-their-retirement-contributions-du">low-to-moderate-income workers</a>.</li>
<li>Child Tax Credit: For those raising children under 17.</li>
<li>Credit for Elderly or Disabled: This credit can provide relief for qualifying seniors and individuals with disabilities.</li>
<li>Retirement Saver&#8217;s Credit: This credit is for those contributing to retirement savings plans such as 401(k)s or IRAs.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, taxpayers can claim the standard deduction and certain &#8220;above-the-line&#8221; deductions, including student loan interest and health savings account contributions. Direct File does not support itemized deductions, however.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why You Should Check if You&#8217;re Eligible</h2>
For eligible taxpayers, Direct File offers a free and timesaving alternative. The program has no hidden fees, is available in Spanish and works seamlessly on smartphones, tablets and computers. For many, this could mean significant savings, both financially and in terms of time spent on tax preparation.
The expanded Direct File program may provide a practical alternative to traditional tax filing methods. As the 2025 tax season approaches, it&#8217;s worth checking if you can take advantage of this no-cost filing option, especially if your income falls into one of the supported categories. Stay informed about the latest developments and see if this streamlined process might work for you.
