nder normal market conditions, the Fund, which is an actively managed exchange traded fund or ETF, will primarily invest in the equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes to be best positioned to take advantage of or profit from emerging technological or social trends or developments. As part of the investment process, the Adviser seeks to identify potential opportunities created by changes in technology, consumer preferences, demographics, regulatory, environmental and supply/demand dynamics that unfold over long periods of time (secular trends) and the companies that can significantly benefit and profit from such trends. Through a proprietary research driven process, the Adviser then analyzes those companies across sectors and secular trends or themes (e.g., green energy, online shopping or cybersecurity) to try to identify for investment those companies it believes to be thematic winners (companies that the Adviser believes can benefit from positive secular trends or themes) with reasonable valuations.

Digital Brands Group shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 EPS results and a year-over-year decline in Q3 revenue.

As the U.S. prepares for what could be a defining legislative session for digital assets, expectations are mounting around potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/crypto-regulations">shifts in crypto regulation</a>. 
Robert Leshner, CEO and co-founder of Superstate sees this as a turning point, with Congress possibly advancing long-awaited laws to provide clarity in the industry. 
Speaking ahead of the <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event</a>, Leshner shared his outlook on what might come next.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A New Framework for Digital Assets</h3>
With the prospect of a Congress more favorable to digital assets, Leshner anticipates that lawmakers will focus on three core areas: a framework for stablecoins, structured definitions for digital assets, and repealing the SEC's SAB-121 guidance on crypto custody. 
He pointed out the impact of these potential regulations, explaining that they could finally end a "decade of legal grays" and replace it with "black and white rules" that would allow the industry to expand within a clear legal structure.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13235418/905735A6-57D3-4874-9AA1-75D037842DB3-1-13.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-646877" /></a></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Addressing Stablecoins and Custody Rules</h3>
One priority on the legislative horizon is a stablecoin bill that would establish guidelines for stablecoins in the U.S. The proposed law aims to clarify the issuance and management of stablecoins, which have become widely used in digital transactions. 
Leshner also emphasized the potential impact of repealing the SEC's SAB-121 guidance, which has restricted crypto custody by placing complex accounting requirements on crypto-related firms. Removing these restrictions, he believes, would open new possibilities for digital asset custody services in the U.S.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Defining Crypto Assets</h3>
Leshner highlighted the importance of clear definitions for digital assets, noting that confusion around terminology has long been a barrier for the industry. Proposed measures such as FIT21 aim to categorize digital assets, creating a structured approach that could aid mainstream adoption. Leshner views these definitions as essential for aligning crypto with existing financial regulations, creating a foundation for the industry to grow.
As Leshner prepares to speak at the <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets</a> event, his perspective offers insight into how upcoming legislation could reshape the future of digital finance in the U.S.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
As the digital asset market continues to mature, the convergence of regulatory shifts, M&amp;A activities, and adoption trends will define the future of this dynamic field.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets</a>&nbsp;event in New York City this November will provide industry leaders and investors with a platform to explore these developments further, offering insights into the evolving regulatory environment and the latest market dynamics.

Snap Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat is introducing a new real-time location sharing feature designed for family members, allowing users to share their live<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/consumer-tech"> locations with others. </a>
The update will roll out in the coming weeks, alongside new privacy and location tools. This feature is aimed at improving user safety, especially for parents tracking their teens' whereabouts, the company <a href="https://parents.snapchat.com/parental-controls">announced. </a>
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41618021/snap-touts-new-ad-formats-and-simple-snapchat-10m-users-trial-growth-driving-feature">Snap Touts New Ad Formats And &#8216;Simple Snapchat&#8217; — 10M Users Trial Growth-Driving Feature</a>
Once available, the Family Center will include an option for parents to request their child&#8217;s location, and vice versa. The platform will also allow users to view and adjust location-sharing settings, alongside other privacy controls. 
Additionally, Snapchat will enable automatic travel notifications, alerting family members when someone arrives at or leaves specific locations, such as home or school.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Snapchat&#8217;s Privacy And Safety Concerns</h3>
While the new features have practical uses, their timing has sparked debate.<a href="https://parents.snapchat.com/parental-controls"> According </a>to The Verge, the app is currently involved in a lawsuit filed by New Mexico&#8217;s attorney general, Raúl Torrez, who claims Snapchat failed to act on warnings about the platform being used to target minors for "sextortion" and other forms of exploitation. 
Torrez has also criticized the app's design, which automatically deletes messages, photos, and videos after a set time, arguing that it complicates efforts to keep users safe.
The company's decision to roll out location sharing in the midst of these legal challenges may lead to additional scrutiny, especially as it relates to the platform's ability to protect its users' privacy. 
In response to these concerns, Snapchat is making location-sharing an opt-in feature, available only to friends and family. Users will also receive prompts to review their privacy settings when adding new connections.

Florida GOP Senator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/marco-rubio">Marco Rubio</a> is President-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>'s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41959835/trump-nominates-marco-rubio-as-secretary-of-state-calls-florida-senator-a-powerful-voice-for-freedom">pick for the role</a> of Secretary of State.
Trump praised Rubio (53) as a "highly respected leader" and a "powerful voice for freedom." But, will he be that open-minded when it comes to cannabis policy reform?
Judging by his earlier stance, what's left for cannabis shareholders and advocates, is hope.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rubio Is Just Not That Into Cannabis</h3>
In a 2022 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63UZT6rEAdQ">interview</a> with a Pensacola TV station, Rubio revealed his reasons for taking a stance against federal cannabis legalization. The concept of cannabis as a "gateway" drug, or one leading users to more dangerous drugs, was one of his main concerns.
&#8220;When you decriminalize something, the message that you&#8217;re basically sending people is it must not be that bad,&#8221; Rubio said, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/04/26666538/marco-rubio-reveals-why-he-opposes-cannabis-legalization">highlighted</a> by Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/nina-zdinjak">Nina Zdinjak</a>. &#8220;Now, suddenly, you&#8217;re an 18- or 17-year-old, [and you] say,&nbsp;&#8216;well, I know marijuana, you tell me not to smoke it, but you know what? It can&#8217;t be that bad, because the federal government made it legal.'&#8221;
At the time, Rubio also argued that cannabis bought from illegal sources has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/19/09/14451540/report-synthetic-marijuana-fentanyl-found-in-cbd-labeled-products">laced with the strong opioid fentanyl</a>, a drug involved in about 30,000 overdose deaths last year.&nbsp;

If you're serious about the business, you can't afford to miss out.</li>
</ul>
Asked by the Daily Mail nearly a decade ago whether he ever used cannabis, Rubio answered ambiguously, <a href="https://reason.com/2015/02/04/why-wont-marco-rubio-admit-he-smoked-pot/">reported</a> Reason. 
"I&#8217;ll tell you why I never answer that question,&#8221; he said back in 2014. &#8220;If I tell you that I haven&#8217;t, you won&#8217;t believe me. And if I tell you that I did, then kids will look up to me and say, &#8216;well, I can smoke marijuana because look how he made it.'&#8221;
That&#8217;s because there's "no responsible way to recreationally use" marijuana, according to Rubio, <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marco-rubio-marijuana_n_5352382">reported</a> HuffPost.
This stance doesn't come as a surprise considering that in 2014 he expressed his support for continued criminal penalties for recreational cannabis use. "I don&#8217;t think legalizing marijuana or even decriminalizing it is the right decision for our country,&#8221; Rubio said as <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2024/09/19/better-justice-system-florida-should-legalize-recreational-marijuana-heres-why/">reported</a> by Tampa Bay.
Moreover, during his unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign, he openly supported cracking down on states that have legalized marijuana and enforcing the law, that prohibits marijuana, <a href="https://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/marco-rubio-says-hed-crack-down-on-marijuana-if-elected-president-7174851">reported</a> Broward Palm Beach New Times. "I believe the federal government needs to enforce federal law,&#8221; he said at the time.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">But…</h3>
Interestingly, Rubio also said medical use of cannabis is something he could consider if it is the non-psychoactive type.
In 2016, he reiterated his stance on the recreational use of cannabis, but slightly amended his view on medical marijuana, <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/11/rubio-no-responsible-way-habitual-marijuana-use/">reported</a> the Washington Times. He said "If there's a medicinal use — if you can go to the FDA and prove that it helps with medicine, that's fine. Then turn it into medicine."
Keeping in mind that Rubio once referred to Trump as "the most vulgar person," one cannot help but wonder whether Rubio will take a U-turn on cannabis. Or is the saying "The fox changes its fur but not its vice," a more probable scenario?
