Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), an artificial intelligence (AI)-created meme coin, rallied sharply Tuesday ahead of the third-quarter earnings of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based cryptocurrency pumped over 12% in the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $1.21 billion.
The latest uptick pushed the coin to the top of the daily gainers list, outstripping the returns of blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
GOAT was up more than 42% over the week, and a whopping 1013% since its launch more than a month ago.

Why It Matters: GOAT has caught the cryptocurrency market's attention, cracking the $1 billion market capitalization club in a quick time. In the process, it also became the first coin launched by Pump.fun, Solana's token launchpad, to hit the $1 billion milestone.
Launched by AI chatbot Truth Terminal, which has a dedicated X account, the meme coin stands as more of an experiment. Truth Terminal was created by researcher Andy Ayrey, and he controls the cryptocurrency wallet tied to GOAT.
Notable figures in the industry, like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, have taken notice of the project's rise and even proposed setting up independent wallets to give Truth Terminal more autonomy.

Dogecoin, Bitcoin Left In The Dust By AI Meme Coin GOAT As Nvidia's Q3 Earnings Draw Near

Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella highlighted Bing's strong growth countering concerns about its minimal impact on Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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's global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34990297/microsoft-considered-selling-bing-to-apple-as-google-rival-but-iphone-maker-remained-skeptical">search dominance</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, during a conversation with a CNBC Overtime anchor Jon Fortt, Nadella was asked when AI was integrated into Bing, the hope was to gain more share from Google.
However, one year down the line, Google still has roughly 90% of the global search share. In response, the Microsoft CEO said that Bing search is one of the fastest-growing businesses, showing strong double-digit growth.
When asked about search share, Nadella responded that it&#8217;s a game of 100 basis points, and any progress is good.

He then expressed excitement about the success of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT and its partnership with&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which he said is beneficial for Microsoft as it runs on Azure.
&#8220;That's all incremental for even us,&#8221; Nadella stated, adding, &#8220;We are giving them the Bing index and powering ChatGPT search using our APIs.&#8221;
Regarding the relationship with OpenAI, Nadella expressed satisfaction with the partnership&#8217;s progress.
&#8220;We are thrilled to be an investor. We're thrilled to be a partner around I.P. They're one of our biggest customers now. We also compete in some areas. And so the partnership has all of those dimensions to it,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Microsoft launched Bing in 2009 to compete directly with Google. However, despite its efforts, Google <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31823704/is-bing-the-new-google-samsung-devices-could-ditch-google-search-for-microsoft-bing">remains the dominant player</a>, with Bing capturing less than 10% of search queries.
Meanwhile, the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI has been a topic of interest in the tech world, especially since reports started surfacing about OpenAI&#8217;s shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit model.
Microsoft has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41556636/microsoft-and-openai-clash-over-14-billion-as-the-ai-leader-converts-to-a-for-profit-business-disrup">invested nearly $14 billion</a> in OpenAI since 2019, leading to a high-stakes financial and governance tug-of-war. OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">valuation soared to $157 billion</a> in its latest funding round.
Earlier in May it was reported that OpenAI&#8217;s potential agreement with Apple had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39109729/openais-apple-deal-sparks-concerns-in-microsoft-could-shift-ai-market-dynamics">sparked concerns within Microsoft</a>.
Last month, Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41636770/microsoft-q1-earnings-highlights-ai-driven-transformation-is-changing-work-company-beats-revenue-ep">first-quarter earnings</a> reported a 16% year-over-year increase in revenue.
Price Action: Microsoft shares rose 0.49% on Tuesday, closing at $417.79, with a slight additional gain of 0.05% in after-hours trading, reaching $418 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia, Microstrategy, Apollo Global Management, Joby Aviation, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Deepwater Asset Management, projects that Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) will spin out its autonomous driving unit Waymo within the next 2-4 years, potentially reaching a valuation between $350 billion and $850 billion by 2030.
What Happened: In a detailed research note, Munster and analyst Brian Baker suggest the spinoff could add 12-28% to Alphabet&#8217;s current market capitalization, depending on the parent company&#8217;s ownership stake, which they estimate is currently around 70%.
&#8220;Today, Waymo alone is too small for Alphabet investors to care about,&#8221; Munster wrote. &#8220;However, the management team is sharing more about their rapid progress, plans to expand operations, and has raised additional outside capital.&#8221;
The analysis comes as Waymo continues to expand its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41541316/waymo-fleet-hits-25m-driverless-miles-autonomous-driving-company-says-its-fleet-is-safer-than-human">autonomous ride-hailing service</a>, now operating in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with Austin launching later this year. The company currently provides over 150,000 rides weekly across its 700-vehicle fleet.
Munster&#8217;s valuation model hinges on Waymo&#8217;s potential market share in the U.S. ride-sharing industry by 2030. In the most optimistic scenario, capturing 70% market share could generate $28 billion in earnings and an $850 billion valuation. A more conservative 30% market share scenario suggests an $11 billion earnings potential and $337 billion valuation.

Why It Matters: The report highlights that despite high upfront vehicle costs of approximately $200,000 per unit, removing human drivers could save about $82,000 annually per vehicle. Munster expects vehicle costs to decrease to around $100,000 to make the long-term economics viable.
Waymo recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567166/waymo-closes-5-6b-investment-round-to-expand-robotaxi-operations">raised $5.6 billion</a> in a Series D funding round led by Alphabet, with participation from major investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Fidelity, valuing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41665245/alphabets-self-driving-subsidiary-waymo-hits-45-billion-valuation-surpassing-ford-other-major-brands">company at approximately $45 billion</a>. The funding suggests growing institutional confidence in Waymo&#8217;s autonomous driving technology and business model.
Munster predicts the autonomous ride-sharing market will primarily be contested between Waymo and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), with the first company to achieve widespread autonomy likely to capture the majority share.

Waymo Maybe Too Small For Alphabet Investors To Care About Today, But The Self-Driving Spinoff's Could Be Valued At $850B By 20230, Says Gene Munster

In a big development, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Chairman Michael Saylor will present a case for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investment to the board of directors at Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
What Happened: During an X space hosted by asset manager VanEck, Saylor said he was contacted by the activist who put up the shareholder proposal to present to the board. 
&#8220;I agreed to provide a three-minute presentation. That's all you're allowed. I'm going to actually post that online and I'm going to present it to the board.&#8221;
Saylor said he even proposed meeting with CEO Satya Nadella to discuss the strategy, but the offer was not accepted.

&#8220;I think it&#8217;s not a bad idea to put it on the agenda of every company. It ought to be put on the agenda of Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, and Google because they all have huge hordes of cash and they&#8217;re all burning shareholder value,&#8221; Saylor argued. 
The MicroStrategy chief said that Microsoft stock would be &#8220;much less risky&#8221; if half of its enterprise value—which was currently just around 1.5%— is based on tangible assets like Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Saylor also offered to discuss the implications of adding Bitcoin to the Treasury with Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) CEO Chris Pavloski.

Why It Matters: Microsoft was set to vote on an assessment of investing in Bitcoin during next month&#8217;s shareholders meeting. The shareholders&nbsp;requested&nbsp;the board conduct the assessment, citing Bitcoin&#8217;s healthy gains over the last five years.
The proposal explicitly mentioned MicroStrategy, a pioneer in corporate Bitcoin adoption whose shares have outperformed Microsoft in 2024.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $92,054.06, up 0.86% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Microstrategy's Michael Saylor To Advocate For Bitcoin At Microsoft Board Meeting, Offers To Educate Rumble CEO As Well

Cannabis wholesale platform Nabis has launched in the New York cannabis market. The move officially marked its status as a bicoastal operator.
"Expanding to New York is about more than moving into a new market — by planting our roots on the East Coast, we're laying the groundwork for our next chapter of building the national wholesaling infrastructure for brands and retailers across America," Vince C. Ning, CEO and co-founder of Nabis, said.

Similarly, Microsoft reported a capex of $20 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41636770/microsoft-q1-earnings-highlights-ai-driven-transformation-is-changing-work-company-beats-revenue-ep">for the first quarter</a>, nearly double the $11.2 billion from the same period last year. The company&#8217;s CFO Amy Hood expects a sequential increase in capital expenditure due to the projected demand&nbsp;for cloud and AI services.
Why It Matters: Analysts have predicted a &#8220;beat-n-raise&#8221; performance in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42068962/nvidia-q3-earnings-preview-analysts-expect-beat-n-raise-on-continued-data-center-strength">Nvidia&#8217;s third-quarter earnings</a>, with an expected revenue of $33.12 billion, a significant increase from last year&#8217;s $18.12 billion.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Gain, Ethereum Drops As BlackRock's ETF Options Volume Breaches $1B On Debut: Analyst Flags 'Opportunity' To Buy ETH Before It Outperforms BTC

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made a notable move by offloading a significant number of shares in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). This decision comes amidst a surge in Tesla&#8217;s stock, fueled by reports of the incoming administration&#8217;s plans to ease restrictions on self-driving vehicles.
The TSLA Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to sell Tesla shares coincides with a period of significant growth for the electric vehicle giant. The company&#8217;s stock has been on an upward trajectory, largely due to reports suggesting that President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s administration intends to prioritize a federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42052848/cathie-woods-ark-sells-10m-of-tesla-stock-as-trumps-av-plans-boost-stock">framework for autonomous vehicles</a>. Such a move could potentially simplify the operation of self-driving cars, providing a significant boost to companies like Tesla.
According to data provided, Ark Invest sold 44,520 shares of Tesla on Tuesday. Given the closing price of $346 per share, the total value of the trade amounts to approximately $15.4 million. The trade was made through the ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>).
Meanwhile, CNBC host Jim Cramer supports owning Tesla stock but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42056899/jim-cramer-thinks-trumps-plans-for-robotaxis-are-fanciful-but-he-is-still-bullish-on-tesla-stock-the-musk-premium-will-work-its-magic-in-other-ways">dismisses reports </a>of Trump easing self-driving regulations as a "bad reason" to buy.

As Tesla Rides Trump Rally, Cathie Wood Sells $15.4M Worth Of Stock

In the early hours of Wednesday, Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX successfully launched its colossal Starship rocket from Texas, with President-elect Donald Trump in attendance.
What Happened: The Starship rocket, standing at 400 feet (122 meters), took off from SpaceX&#8217;s Texas rocket development site at around 3:30 am (IST).
The rocket, designed to transport astronauts to the moon and Mars, saw its first stage booster, the 233-foot-tall (71-meter-tall) Super Heavy, detach from the second stage, Starship, at an altitude of about 40 miles (62 km), propelling the craft into space.
This launch marks a significant stride in SpaceX&#8217;s spaceflight capabilities, despite a failed attempt to land the booster back on Earth.
Trump, who was present at the SpaceX facility in Texas, observed the launch alongside Musk, underscoring the president-elect&#8217;s ongoing interest in space exploration.
Musk celebrated a milestone for SpaceX as the Starship successfully completed an ocean landing during its sixth flight test. &#8220;We will do one more ocean landing of the ship,&#8221; Musk stated on X formerly known as Twitter, adding, &#8220;If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.&#8221; 
The splashdown marks a crucial step in the Starship program, which aims to revolutionize space travel with reusable spacecraft.

"The days of retail being a fringe player are over," said Eric Krueger, CEO of GTN Americas at <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/fintech-awards/6073689">Benzinga Fintech Deal Day</a>, during a panel called "Bridging Divides: Connecting Wall Street with Main Street.&#8221;
The panel, moderated by Brandis DeSimone, head of data sales at Nasdaq, brought together voices from Public.com, Alpaca, TradeZero and GTN to explore innovation, education and the global rise of retail trading.
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/11/42072183/will-ai-become-an-assistant-or-a-master-experts-beg-to-differ-at-benzinga-fintech-conference"> Will AI Become An Assistant Or A Master? Experts Beg To Differ At Benzinga Fintech Conference</a> Reflecting on his early days at Merrill Lynch, Krueger described how trading has evolved from $100 commissions to instant, no-cost trades on a mobile app. "That friction is gone, and it's made retail a major force in the market."
But the increasing presence of retail investors raised questions about their readiness for sophisticated markets. 
On one side, Samuel Nofzinger, head of Brokerage and Crypto at Public.com, argued that learning through mistakes is essential. "We can't be too paternalistic," he said. "Guardrails are important, but you have to let people fail. That's how they grow from chasing meme stocks to building diversified portfolios."
Yoshi Yokokawa, CEO of Alpaca, offered a cautious counterpoint, warning about the dangers of pushing risk too far. "We've seen what happens when innovation outpaces responsibility, like during the crypto boom and bust," he said. 
Yokokawa, who worked at Lehman Brothers during the 2008 financial crisis, stressed that fintech companies have a duty to balance access with protection. "We have to ask: how much risk should we be introducing to the average investor?"
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Innovation vs. Responsibility</h1>
One recurring theme was how to simplify complex financial products without oversimplifying their risks. Nofzinger pointed to Public's approach to fixed-income products as an example. 
"Bonds are complicated, but we've repackaged them into something retail investors understand: a yield-focused account," he said. The result was striking — on launch day, Public handled 8% of all U.S. bond trades.
"Offering a new product is great, but making it digestible is where the real work happens," Krueger noted. He warned against overwhelming retail users with overly complex choices. "Retail investors don't wake up thinking, ‘Let me buy some bonds.' They think, ‘Where can I get the best yield?' Simplifying that process is key."
Yokokawa agreed but remained wary of the long-term implications. "When you chase yield, you're pushing the limits," he said. "That's how boom-and-bust cycles happen. We have to remember that retail isn't just numbers — it's people's savings, their futures."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Striking A Balance: Education and Risk</h1>
Panelists debated the best approach to educating retail investors without stifling their autonomy. Nofzinger talked about meeting users where they are, including platforms such as TikTok and Meta Platform&#8217;s Instagram. "If you're not there, you're invisible to this generation of investors," he said.
Meanwhile, Daniel Pipitone, co-founder and CEO of TradeZero, focused on working with unbiased educators to teach strategies and risk management. He echoed Nofzinger's belief that mistakes are part of the process. "You can't control what people do, and they need room to learn. But platforms need to provide tools that help guide them responsibly."
Krueger added a different perspective, calling for education to be embedded directly into trading platforms. "It's not enough to have a help section buried in a menu. If someone is overtrading after a loss, we need to deliver advice right then and there," he said. "It's about personalization, not one-size-fits-all solutions."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Main Street Is Everywhere</h1>
Retail's expansion is not just a U.S. story — it's a global one. Pipitone described how demand for U.S. equities is booming abroad. "Main Street has expanded beyond borders," he said. "People everywhere want to trade Tesla or Nvidia because these brands are part of their lives."
Krueger noted that 90% of trading volumes for GTN's international partners are in U.S. markets, driven by the consistent outperformance of American stocks. 
Yet scaling globally isn't easy. "Serving smaller markets means you need incredibly low costs," Yokokawa explained. "That only works if you internalize every part of your operations, from technology to customer acquisition."

EXCLUSIVE: Wall Street Meets Main Street — Fintech Experts Weigh In On Retail's Rise

Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, told a panel at the Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets">Future of Digital Assets </a>conference on Nov. 19 that options volume on the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) breached the 1 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42058823/blackrocks-spot-bitcoin-etf-to-open-for-options-trading-heres-why-it-could-be-a-big-deal-for-bitcoin">mark on Tuesday. </a>
"Things happen fast here," Mitchnick said. 
The Details: Nasdaq began listing options on BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF on Tuesday with 73,000 contracts traded in the first 90 minutes, ranking IBIT options among the top 20 most active non-index options. 
BlackRock's IBIT is currently the only spot Bitcoin ETF listed on Nasdaq, but competitors listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Cboe Global Markets are expected to launch similar options trading in the coming days.
Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the volume was almost entirely calls, indicating a strong bullish sentiment in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).

If Bitcoin derivatives follow a similar trajectory, the listing of IBIT options could significantly expand the reach and functionality of Bitcoin-linked financial products.
"There's a ton of work to do to flesh out the investor opportunity and uptake around what we have," Mitchnick said.

BlackRock's Head Of Digital Assets Says IBIT Spot Bitcoin ETF Options Blow Past 1 Billion In Trading Volume

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) resigned from office after he was announced as President-elect Donald Trump's pick<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41956594/matt-gaetz-is-trumps-attorney-general-pick-would-be-top-cop-is-under-house-ethics-investigation"> for attorney general.</a>
While Gaetz has not been formally nominated for the White House role, his resignation could keep an investigation into his actions from being publicly released.
What Happened: Prior to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42024613/lawyer-ethics-committee-witness-says-she-saw-ag-nominee-gaetz-having-sex-with-a-minor"> resigning from Congress</a>, Gaetz was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use and more.
With Gaetz no longer a member of Congress, the Ethics Committee has no jurisdiction over him, but their decision of whether to release their findings publicly remains one of the biggest topics for Congress this week.
The Ethics Committee, which is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, is expected to meet Wednesday to determine their next step in whether to release the report or not, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/senators-want-details-on-sexual-misconduct-allegations-as-gaetz-seeks-fair-shake-7a1bfad7?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reported</a>.
The report would likely include the committee's findings into allegations that Gaetz had sexual relations with a 17-year-old minor. The former minor and another woman both said Gaetz paid them for sex, according to comments from their lawyer on Monday.
Gaetz denied allegations of having sex with a minor, sex trafficking or paying for sex previously.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) said this week it would be a bad precedent if the committee releases the report with Gaetz no longer a member of Congress.

Some members of Congress, including members of the Republican party, want to see the results of the committee ahead of a potential vote for Gaetz to be a member of Trump's cabinet.
"I'm saying to the people that want any cabinet person to get through — not just Gaetz — but it's going to be a lot faster if you give us all the information that we want," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said.
The Ethics Committee previously planned to release their findings last week before Gaetz surprising resignation.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While The Republicans will have a majority of 53-47 when the new Congress term begins in January, four Republicans voting against any pick could see them fail to be approved through, assuming all Democrats vote against the candidate.
On Tuesday it was reported that an "unknown and unauthorized third party" gained access to depositions from witnesses in the Gaetz investigation, as <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-gaetz-depositions-leak-investigations/">reported </a>by CBS News.
The reported leak, which could include testimony from the minor who allegedly had sex with Gaetz, could put into question whether more details from the case will be released publicly, even if Congress doesn't do so.
On <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-be-trumps-attorney-general?tid=1732054162608">Polymarket</a>, the odds of Gaetz being approved as attorney general currently stand at 38%, up from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42014985/matt-gaetz-to-be-confirmed-as-attorney-general-in-a-trump-administration-not-so-fast-polymarket-traders-say">28% four days ago. </a>The odds had previously hovered between 25% and 30%, before growing in recent days.
Gaetz has the best odds of any name listed in the Polymarket attorney general prediction market. On Polymarket, users can deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network, or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
Each betting market sees the winning option pay out at $1. Like the 2024 election markets, the odds of potential cabinet members are becoming hot betting markets on Polymarket.

Trump's Attorney General Pick Matt Gaetz Resigned From Congress, Ethics Committee To Decide If Report Will Be Released

President-elect Donald J. Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/42077057/trump-picks-dr-oz-as-centers-for-medicare-and-medicaid-services-administrator">announced on Tuesday afternoon</a> that he will nominate TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the administrator of the Centers for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/24/11/42044642/trump-appears-frustrated-as-elon-musk-chimes-in-on-treasury-secretary-adds-more-names-to-a-list-of-potential-picks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)</a>. The appointment is among a string of TV hosts — mostly from Fox News — to be chosen to join Trump's cabinet.
In a statement, Trump said the celebrity TV host will "work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on the illness industrial complex."
Though a household name due to his long-running &#8220;The Dr. Oz Show" (2009-2022), Oz got into politics when he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/06/27558526/dr-oz-to-face-john-fetterman-in-unprecedented-unpredictable-pa-senate-race-and-cannabis-is-on-th">unsuccessfully ran for Senate</a> against now Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) in 2022, during which time the good doctor seemed to forge an alliance with Trump.
At the time, Scientific American&nbsp;<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dr-oz-shouldnt-be-a-senator-or-a-doctor/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote </a>Dr. Oz should not&nbsp;be a senator or a doctor, noting that his misinformation had already tarnished medicine and would do much worse in the halls of Congress.&nbsp;"Dr. Oz&nbsp;has long pushed misleading, science-free and unproven alternative therapies such as homeopathy, as well as fad diets, detoxes and cleanses."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Donald Trump Begs To Differ</h1>
News outlets are quick to<a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/19/trump-dr-oz-cms-cabinet"> point out</a> that Dr. Oz has no experience running a large government body like the CMS but that seems to not matter because, according to the President-elect.
&#8220;There may be no Physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to Make America Healthy Again,&#8221; Trump said in a statement, referring to the words of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/robert-f-kennedy-jr">Robert Kennedy Jr</a>. who will, if confirmed run the Dept. of Health and Human Services.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Dr. Oz On Cannabis</h1>
The multimillionaire TV host initially called cannabis a &#8220;mixed bag for easing pain.&#8221; But a recent discussion with&nbsp;Michael Roizen,&nbsp;M.D., of the Wellness Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40492959/trump-endorsed-dr-oz-on-medical-marijuana-and-pain-give-it-a-try">Oz said</a>, &#8220;Our advice: If your physician recommends it to manage pain, especially if you&#8217;re 65 and older, give it a try.&#8221;
While Dr. Oz cautions against cannabis consumption for recreational purposes, he said he believes marijuana for pain represents a "safer solution than, for example, narcotics in many cases."
During his Senate race, Dr. Oz often criticized Fetterman&#8217;s support for cannabis legalization though several years earlier he himself <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dr-oz-claims-dea-and-fda-blame-each-other-for-keeping-marijuana-illegal/">referred to cannabis</a>&nbsp;as "one of the most underused tools in America" and that the U.S. should&nbsp;"completely change our policy on marijuana."
