New York CNN —The social media platform formerly known as Twitter is worth almost 80% less than two years ago when Elon Musk bought it, according to estimates from investment giant Fidelity. The new valuation from Fidelity implies that it believes X is now worth just $9.4 billion — a far cry from the $44 billion that Musk paid. Other investors could value X differently. Ives said that he believes Twitter was really worth around $30 billion when Musk bought it, and today it’s worth closer to $15 billion. “When Musk bought Twitter, investors didn’t realize we’d be taking off on AI as fast as we are,” Munster said.

Leaders recommend preparing for an IPO well in advance and tailoring the process to a company's needs. Reddit recently made its successful debut on the public market, pricing its shares at the top of the expected valuation range. Business Insider's virtual event "The Road to IPO," in collaboration with Fidelity, brought together a panel to discuss the key preparations, concerns, and decision-making strategies for business leaders looking to go public. "It gave us a chance to really think to practice being a public company without actually being one." Before and after going public, Rose said, the company has valued transparency with its employees.

The oldest Gen Xers are turning 59 this year, and once they reach 59½, they can begin making penalty-free withdrawals from their 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts. However, nearly 70% of Gen X, which is comprised of Americans between the ages of 44 and 59, feel behind on their retirement savings, according to a new retirement savings survey from Bankrate. The average 401(k) balance for people in their 50s, who make up the majority of Gen X, is $214,100. The good news: Many Gen Xers are already taking strides to get their retirement savings where they want them to be. Plus, they've increased their IRA contributions by 30% to the highest level in five years, per Fidelity's second quarter retirement analysis.

Researchers have begun measuring the impact of legalized sports gambling on American households, and the initial results paint a worrisome picture about how its expansion has affected bettors’ finances. In separate papers released this month, academics have found that households in states where gambling was legalized saw significantly reduced savings, as well as lower investments in assets like stocks that are generally considered more financially sound. Meanwhile, states that legalized sports betting saw their residents’ aggregate credit scores decrease, while bankruptcies increased. North Carolina became the most recent state to offer online sports betting earlier this year. Earlier this year, the major sports betting platforms formed the Responsible Online Gaming Association to address problem gambling.

The expectation is that other wirehouses and asset managers, who have been on the sidelines performing in-house due diligence on spot crypto ETFs, might feel the pressure to soon follow Morgan Stanley's lead. The spot ether ETFs, which launched less than three weeks ago, have seen relatively tepid flows compared to the blockbuster launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in January. The bitcoin funds collectively hold $54.30 billion in assets under management, versus $7.25 billion across the spot ether funds.

I'm a financial planner with several easy steps you can take now that will set you up for financial success. These funds should be placed in an easily accessible FDIC-insured high-yield savings account. Park your cash in a high-yield savings accountA common financial mistake people in their 20s make is letting their savings sit in a low-yield checking or savings account. Keep in mind that online banks offer most high-yield savings accounts, so you won't have access to a physical branch. Many online high-yield savings accounts, like Discover, allow you to manage multiple savings accounts under one login, making this strategy even more convenient.
