The prices of cryptocurrencies surged on Monday evening as new details emerged about the Securities and Exchange Commission advancing the process for the first U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ethereum-etf">exchange-traded funds</a> holding Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
What Happened: On Monday, the SEC&#8217;s Trading and Markets Division instructed asset managers to revise their 19b-4 filings, which are typically used to request the SEC&#8217;s permission to amend their rulebooks for the listing of a new type of ETF, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-jones-05-20-2024/card/crypto-prices-jump-on-ether-etf-approve-hopes-0bGFUEbtjiRzilJ2QPgh?mod=lctimeline_finance">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal.
This move was seen as a positive development by many investors, leading to a surge in crypto prices. The updated filings are anticipated to be live in the near future, WSJ reports.
Despite the lack of communication between the SEC staff and potential ETF issuers, the SEC&#8217;s decision to instruct asset managers to amend their filings has raised hopes for an Ether ETF approval this week, according to the Journal. This has led to an 18% surge in the price of Ether and a more than 5% increase in the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
Why It Matters: The potential approval of an Ether ETF is a significant development for the cryptocurrency market. Ether is the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, and an ETF would make it easier for investors to gain exposure to this digital asset.
What&#8217;s Next: The updated 19b-4 filings are expected to go live in the coming days, WSJ reports. Some analysts have raised their estimates for an ether ETF approval to 75% following this development.

Why It Matters: The SEC&#8217;s recent actions have sparked hope for the approval of Ether ETFs, with analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart raising the odds from 25% to 75% on Monday. However, they later clarified that the odds were related to the 19b-4 approvals, not the final ETF authorization.
The SEC is expected to make a decision on the VanEck spot Ether ETF on Thursday. The SEC has been investigating whether Ether, the primary native asset to the Ethereum blockchain, is a security. If deemed a security, this could be grounds for the regulator to reject the spot Ether ETF applications.
What&#8217;s Next: The potential approval of Ether ETFs has already had a significant impact on the market. Following the news, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38926646/bitcoin-smashes-70k-ethereum-pumps-12-on-etf-approval-bombshell-odds-of-approval-75-tweets">Bitcoin surged past $70,000 and Ethereum&#8217;s price rose by 14%</a>.
Ethereum&#8217;s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38911118/vitalik-buterin-says-proud-ethereum-doesnt-censor-critical-views-social-media-users-compla">praised the platform&#8217;s culture of welcoming criticism</a>, a sentiment that was met with mixed reactions on social media.

The U.S. has taken a firm stance against a proposed global wealth tax on billionaires, as announced Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/janet-yellen">by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.</a>
This idea, championed by Brazil, France and other nations, aims to reduce economic inequality by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/billionaires">targeting the global billionaires. </a>
Yellen emphasized that while the U.S. supports progressive taxation, it cannot back a worldwide initiative of this nature, as reported by the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/a-global-tax-on-billionaires-janet-yellen-says-no-cdb22e2f?mod=hp_lead_pos2">Wall Street Journal</a>.
&#8220;We're not supportive of a process to try to achieve that. That's something we can't sign on to," she said.
As the leader of the Group of 20 major economies, Brazil has urged the group to develop a unified approach to taxing extremely wealthy individuals who often relocate their funds to low-tax jurisdictions.
The goal is to create a system similar to the global minimum tax on corporations, agreed upon by roughly 140 countries in 2021, though the rollout has faced significant obstacles, particularly in the U.S.
Although the Biden administration has proposed significant tax increases for high-income Americans, it has avoided advocating for a wealth tax, which involves collecting a portion of an individual&#8217;s net worth annually. Instead, President Joe Biden has proposed a plan that would require Americans with a net worth exceeding $100 million to pay a 25% tax on their total earnings each year, including unrealized capital gains.
Yellen made it clear the U.S. would not endorse discussions on a global wealth tax. She is set to meet with finance ministers from the Group of Seven advanced democracies later this week, where this topic is expected to be on the agenda.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">G20 Discussions On Billionaire Tax</h3>
As reported by the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1f1160e0-3267-4f5f-94eb-6778c65e65a4">Financial Times</a> on Sunday, French economist Gabriel Zucman presented a proposal for a global billionaire's tax to G20 finance ministers in February, at the request of Brazil. 
Officials from Brazil, France, Spain, Germany and South Africa have discussed a plan requiring billionaires to pay taxes equivalent to at least 2% of their overall wealth annually.
Supporters of the global wealth tax argue that a coordinated effort would prevent the wealthy from moving their assets to tax-friendly countries. This would enable governments to raise more tax revenue to support other priorities and address the growing income inequality.
&#8220;The super-rich will fight it tooth and nail, but yes — we will have, one day, a coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich. And perhaps sooner than you think!&#8221; Zucman commented on social media X.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dominance Of American Billionaires </h3>
According to the Forbes 2024 Billionaires List, the United States dominates with 26 billionaires in the top 50, including nine out of the top 10. 
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), is the richest U.S. citizen and ranks second globally with a net worth of $195 billion, just behind Bernard Arnault. 
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com and Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, follow closely with fortunes of $194 billion and $134 billion, respectively.
Other prominent U.S. billionaires include Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms Inc.; Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.; and Larry Ellison, CTO of Oracle Corp.,highlighting the significant presence and influence of American entrepreneurs and business leaders on the global stage.

Treasury Secretary Yellen Rejects Global Billionaire Tax: Big Relief For Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates And Mark Zuckerberg

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk is the world's third richest person, with a net worth of $190 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index. But it's not like Musk's life has been spot-free – the billionaire has made several major money mistakes, and one of them is worth nearly a fourth of his current net worth.
Here are five of Musk&#8217;s biggest money mistakes:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Musk's $44B Acquisition Of Twitter</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="553" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/30125143/musk-twitter-x-shutter-1024x553.jpg" alt="Elon Musk Twitter" class="wp-image-153279" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/30125143/musk-twitter-x-shutter-1024x553.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/30125143/musk-twitter-x-shutter-300x162.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/30125143/musk-twitter-x-shutter-768x415.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/30125143/musk-twitter-x-shutter-1536x829.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/30125143/musk-twitter-x-shutter.jpg 1850w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Musk&#8217;s biggest money mistake by far &#x7C; Photo courtesy: Shutterstock</figcaption></figure>
Perhaps the biggest money mistake Musk has made so far is his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, now X. The social media platform's recent valuation by Fidelity shows the value has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36895228/fidelity-raises-x-valuation-heres-how-much-its-fallen-from-elon-musks-twitter-purchase-price">fallen to just $14.1 billion now</a>, down from the $44 billion that Musk paid to acquire it.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. ‘Funding Secured'</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/17051222/Tesla-CEO-ELon-Musk-1024x683.jpg" alt="Tesla CEO Elon Musk" class="wp-image-342959" style="width:920px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/17051222/Tesla-CEO-ELon-Musk-1024x683.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/17051222/Tesla-CEO-ELon-Musk-300x200.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/17051222/Tesla-CEO-ELon-Musk-768x512.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/17051222/Tesla-CEO-ELon-Musk-1536x1024.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/17051222/Tesla-CEO-ELon-Musk.jpg 1620w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Musk&#8217;s ill-fated social media post on taking Tesla private cost millions in fines &#x7C; Image made via photos on Shutterstock</figcaption></figure>
Another one of Musk's biggest money mistakes is his "Funding secured" post on X about Tesla which led to an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC,) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36895228/fidelity-raises-x-valuation-heres-how-much-its-fallen-from-elon-musks-twitter-purchase-price">resulting in a $20 million fine</a>.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Musk's Multiple Divorces</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22020655/shutterstock_2425470833-1024x683.jpg" alt="Tesla CEO Elon Musk" class="wp-image-224855" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22020655/shutterstock_2425470833-1024x683.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22020655/shutterstock_2425470833-300x200.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22020655/shutterstock_2425470833-768x512.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22020655/shutterstock_2425470833-1536x1024.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22020655/shutterstock_2425470833.jpg 1620w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Musk&#8217;s multiple divorces have proven costly &#x7C; Photo via Shutterstock</figcaption></figure>
Musk's multiple divorces have cost the Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder a pretty penny. He <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/correcting-the-record-about-my-divorce-2010-7?IR=T">revealed</a> that he pays an average of $20,000 to his first wife, Justine Musk, apart from having footed an average of $170,000 in monthly legal bills.
He then married and divorced actress Talulah Riley twice, which ended up costing $20 million in alimony.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Roadster Failure</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="674" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/19042530/shutterstock_1747839884-1024x674.jpg" alt="Tesla Roadster" class="wp-image-256796" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/19042530/shutterstock_1747839884-1024x674.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/19042530/shutterstock_1747839884-300x197.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/19042530/shutterstock_1747839884-768x505.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/19042530/shutterstock_1747839884-1536x1011.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/19042530/shutterstock_1747839884.jpg 1641w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tesla Roadster &#x7C; Photo via Shutterstock</figcaption></figure>
Tesla's first car, the Roadster, proved to be a disaster for both the company and Musk. Tesla unveiled the Roadster prototype in 2006 and launched it commercially in 2008. The company spent $25 million on the car, and BBC's Jeremy Clarkson <a href="https://www.tesla.com/blog/tesla-vs-top-gear">panned it</a> for range and quality control issues. Tesla even sued the BBC over this but eventually lost its case.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Crashing McLaren F1</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="941" height="514" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/15014854/McLaren-F1-Photo-by-dimcars-on-Shutterstock.jpg" alt="McLaren F1 Photo by dimcars on Shutterstock" class="wp-image-68536" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/15014854/McLaren-F1-Photo-by-dimcars-on-Shutterstock.jpg 941w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/15014854/McLaren-F1-Photo-by-dimcars-on-Shutterstock-300x164.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/15014854/McLaren-F1-Photo-by-dimcars-on-Shutterstock-768x420.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">McLaren F1 &#x7C; Photo courtesy: Shutterstock </figcaption></figure>
Fresh off his successful sale of Zip2 for $300 million, Musk purchased the McLaren F1 for $1 million as his daily drive. Then, in order to impress PayPal Inc. co-founder Peter Thiel, Musk went ahead to show off the sports car's power.
He ended up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37016578/elon-musk-spent-1-million-on-a-super-rare-mclaren-f1-but-then-crashed-it-trying-to-impress-peter-thi">crashing the $1 million car</a> after hovering about 3 feet in the air.

Semiconductor giant NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will report first-quarter financial results after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Wednesday.</a>
Here are the earnings estimates, what analysts are saying and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Nvidia to report first-quarter revenue of $24.60 billion, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/feature/newsfeed/?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348">data from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company reported first-quarter revenue of $7.19 billion in the previous fiscal year. Nvidia has beaten analysts' revenue estimates in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters.
Analysts expect Nvidia to report earnings per share of $5.58 in the first quarter, compared to earnings per share of $1.09 in last year's first quarter. The company has beaten analysts' earnings per share estimates in five straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37247922/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-q1-guidance-and-more">Guidance from Nvidia </a>calls for first quarter revenue to be $24.0 billion, plus or minus 2%.

What Analysts Are Saying: While Nvidia is likely to report strong year-over-year growth, analysts see potential volatility ahead of the Blackwell transition.
Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya, who has a Buy rating and $1,100 price target, expects a beat and raise from Nvidia despite the volatility.
The analyst said expectations for Nvidia are $26 billion based on speaking with investors ahead of the quarterly report.
"Even if NVDA were to potentially deliver on these bullish expectations, the stock could still react unfavorably," Arya said.
The analyst said slowing demand, lower quarter-over-quarter growth and pricing pressure could be factors that bears are watching.
"On the other hand a favorable scenario could be perhaps NVDA reporting only modest FQ1 beat, but then guiding FQ2 up 10%+, while retaining favorable 76-77% GM (gross margins) as Blackwell ramp comes later in the year while Hopper cost structure remains favorable."
Stifel analyst Ruben Roy is expecting another strong quarter and outlook from Nvidia.
The analyst, who has a Buy rating, raised the price target from $910 to $1,085.
"Once again, a beat/raise is widely anticipated with investor focus likely to remain on medium-term sustainability of accelerating AI infrastructure investment," Roy said.
The analyst said supply chain checks indicate robust demand for existing Nvidia products ahead of the Blackwell launch.
"NVDA remains our top pick relative to the AI infrastructure investment theme."
The analyst said strength in the Data Center segment will drive "significant year-over-year growth" in coming quarters, leading to estimate increases.
"The scaling of recent large-scale models coupled with NVDA's Blackwell ramp in 2025 suggests to us that we are likely to see meaningful growth well into next year."
The analyst estimates Nvidia&#8217;s total addressable market to reach $100 billion by 2025, potentially growing to $1 trillion in the future.
A beat and raise from Nvidia is also anticipated by Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann.
The analyst, who has a Buy rating and $1,400 price target, said the beat and raise might be lower than the previous quarter due to supply shortages.
"We do not subscribe to the air-pocket theory in the Hopper to Blackwell transition for the July quarter guide as the transition to B100 is scheduled for later in 2024," Mosesmann said.
The analyst said Nvidia could maintain or increase its market share due to its platform and software stack.
"We also anticipate that Blackwell will be completely sold out, at least for a year."
Mosesmann said shares of Nvidia could be volatile ahead of and after the first-quarter earnings report.
"We expect volatility into this week's print but are nonetheless positively biased on a story that is increasingly resonating with the best secular idea in all of technology."

China has taken a new step in the ongoing economic battle with the west, launching a new anti-dumping probe of plastics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">made in the U.S. and the European Union</a>.
The move can be read as a possible retaliation against recent protectionist measures by Western countries, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38824198/biden-announces-massive-tariffs-on-chinese-imports-to-protect-us-industries-clean-energy-solar-stock">a recent increase of tariffs on Chinese imports led by President Joe Biden</a>.
The Chinese probe was announced on Sunday by the country's commerce ministry, looking into imports of polyoxymethylene copolymer, a type of plastic widely used in consumer electronics, household items, car parts as well as in industrial applications.
Public companies manufacturing this material include Celanese Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CE#NYSE">CE</a>),&nbsp;BASF SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BASFY#OTC">BASFY</a>), DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DD#NYSE">DD</a>), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTLHY#OTC">MTLHY</a>), Asahi Kasei Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AHKSY#OTC">AHKSY</a>) and SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SABRY#OTC">SABRY</a>).
Over the next year, China will look into imports of the chemical, also known acetal or POM, coming from the U.S., Japan, Taiwan and the EU, in efforts to find out if imports are being priced at equal levels to their domestic markets.
In an anti-dumping probe, a country will try to assess whether companies from a different country are pricing items at lower prices in order to gain market share and take out the local competition.
The probe could be extended for a period of six months after the one-year period is completed.

Is China Striking Back? Biden's measures from last week struck a nerve in China as the U.S. government pushed forward a plan to further protect U.S. manufacturing jobs by imposing higher tariffs on Chinese goods.
The heavy taxes include a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum, a new 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, a 25% tariff on EV batteries and critical minerals, upsized tariffs on Chinese solar panels, raised from 25% to 50%, and a new 50% tariff on semiconductors made in China.
The move is said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38839620/bidens-new-tariffs-on-chinese-imports-are-a-clear-giveaway-to-these-two-tesla-rivals-jim-cramer-">to directly benefit U.S. carmakers Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>)&nbsp;and General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>)</a>.
Biden's recent measures are part of an all-out campaign to attract undecided voters by pushing protectionist measures aimed at safeguarding U.S. jobs and industrial capabilities. His GOP opponent Donald Trump, who has boasted the more protectionist, anti-China discourse in recent years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38923614/trump-vs-biden-hush-money-trial-fails-to-dampen-support-trump-maintains-1-point-lead-in-2024-ele">maintains a one-point lead, according to the most recent polls</a>.
EU Eyes Chinese EVs, Steel, More: Biden's new tariffs build on previous ones imposed by Trump during the previous White House administration. The new tariff announcement synced with another blow to Chinese international commerce coming from across the Atlantic.
The European Commission, which is the executive arm of the European Union, is halfway through a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36751546/xi-jinping-representative-slams-eu-for-unfair-probe-into-ev-subsidies-mostly-targeted-at-china"> probe looking at whether the bloc should impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles</a>, following the example of the U.S. 
Last week, the EU announced several new probes aimed at finding out whether Chinese companies are benefiting from state subsidies that could allow them to market cheaper products in Europe, therefore displacing European companies.
The investigations, being carried out by the European Commission, are centered on iron or steel products coming from China, as well as wood flooring and medical devices.
Several Chinese products associated with the production of clean energy, including wind turbines, solar panels, are also being researched by the bloc, according to Reuters.&nbsp;
