Chief among the picks is Paul Atkins, whom Trump intends to nominate to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which regulates cryptocurrency. Atkins, a crypto advocate and former SEC commissioner, is expected to regulate cryptocurrency with a lighter touch than Gary Gensler, who leads the commission under the Biden administration. Bitcoin touched $100,000 just hours after Atkins was announced as Trump’s choice for SEC chair. Bitcoin is up 130% for the year so far, with the post-election rally accounting for a significant portion of its gains. That month, he also purchased burgers from a Manhattan bar frequented by crypto enthusiasts using bitcoin.

☆ Ether ETFs launch may pale in comparison to debut of bitcoin funds, investors say

Tuesday's debut of exchange-traded funds that hold ether is widely seen as a significant event for the crypto industry, although it may not see the success or fanfare that bitcoin ETFs did earlier this year. The ether ETFs come about six months after the launch of bitcoin ETFs , which saw some of the most successful debuts in the industry's history. And so the question is how much impact on price is really going to have?" Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, whose Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF (QETH) began trading Tuesday, agreed ether ETF flows could be small compared to bitcoin funds'. "We think it'll be about 20% as many flows [that] will go into the ether ETF in the first six months that went into bitcoin [ETFs]," he said in a separate "Squawk Box" interview.

"We expect numbers to reset lower (again) with the downward revision a negative catalyst for the multiple, and the margin story likely being pushed out to 2025," wrote analyst Christian Carlino. Analyst Anthony Powell accompanied the move by raising his price target to $204 from $194, implying a potential 15% rally for the stock. The investment firm upgraded the airline stock to market-perform from underperform, boosting its price target to $32 from $26.

Ilia Malinin established such a big lead after his peerless short program at the U.S. After starting his program with a textbook quad axel — a jump only Malinin has landed in competition — he doubled a planned quad loop, fell on a quad lutz and doubled another planned quad. He followed with a perfect quad lutz before a mistake on his planned quad loop, which he turned into a double that appeared to slow down his momentum. Malinin recovered to land a quad salchow before falling on his quad lutz. The 29-year-old Brown, performing his “The Impossible Dream” program from last year, opened with two brilliant triple axels — one in sequence with a double — after missing the same jump during his short program.

☆ Bitcoin ETFs could open floodgates to $30 trillion wealth management market

SEC Chair Gary Gensler continues to issue stern warnings when it comes to crypto investments, but that's not holding back activity. For the $30 trillion advised wealth management industry, the floodgates could be about to open. "For the vast majority of people, a low-cost bitcoin ETF is going to be the easiest way to do that," Hougan said. According to data from Robinhood , 81% of bitcoin ETF trading volume in the first week was in individual accounts, with the rest in retirement accounts. In a report on its website in October, Galaxy Digital said the "strongest marginal improvement" occurred when portfolios moved from a 0% to 1% bitcoin allocation.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California won't be giving unemployment checks to workers on strike, with Democratic Gov. But he said he vetoed this bill because the fund the state uses to pay unemployment benefits will be nearly $20 billion in debt by the end of the year. The fund the state uses to pay unemployment benefits is already more than $18 billion in debt. Meanwhile, unemployment benefits have increased. Lawmakers could attempt to pass the law anyway, but it’s been decades since a governor’s veto was overruled in California.
