Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) has taken a sharp U-turn this week amid the broader cryptocurrency market&#8217;s decline, but that hasn&#8217;t deterred optimists.
What happened: The dog-themed meme coin has descended as much as 19% this week from the 7-day peak of $0.48. The downturn has been precipitated by Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) flash crash on Monday.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Trader Tardigrade observed that DOGE was oscillating between the oversold and overbought zones on the macro chart and that the cycle top was still a long way away.
&#8220;DOGE has just left the oversold zone and is now heading to the overbought zone, which is projected linearly at around $8 to $10,&#8221; the analyst stated. &#8220;I consider this is the top of this cycle.&#8221;
Trader Tardigrade projected that after the top, DOGE could fall to the support zone of $0.8 to $1.8, which could be an entry point for the next cycle.

Another technical analyst with a sizable X following Charting Guy projected that the DOGE&#8217;s choppy movement would end in the next 10 days and the next breakout would propel it to all-time highs.
&#8220;IMO, we are in the final moments to accumulate alts at decent prices; don't let the blood scare you, get greedy,&#8221; the trader said.

Why It Matters: This bullish remark contradicted signals from some well-known technical indicators of the cryptocurrency.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator flashed a &#8220;Sell&#8221; signal as of this writing, per <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">data </a>from TradingView.
The MACD compares two exponential moving averages of an asset&#8217;s price to show the trend&#8217;s momentum.
Similarly, the Momentum indicator, which compares the current price with the previous price from several periods ago, indicated a bearish sentiment.
In the last 24 hours, the balance of long-term DOGE holders declined by 0.88%, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">according </a>to IntoTheBlock, suggesting that they were selling aggressively.

General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) said on Tuesday that it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42425386/general-motors-stock-is-rising-after-the-bell-whats-driving-the-action">no longer fund</a> Cruise&#8216;s robotaxi development but will instead combine the majority-owned unit into its technical teams, to the annoyance of Cruise co-founder Kyle Vogt.
What Happened: The robotaxi development work needs considerable time and resources to scale, GM reasoned, while adding that the robotaxi market is getting increasingly competitive
"GM is committed to delivering the best driving experiences to our customers in a disciplined and capital efficient manner," said Mary Barra, chair and CEO of GM. "Cruise has been an early innovator in autonomy, and the deeper integration of our teams, paired with GM's strong brands, scale, and manufacturing strength, will help advance our vision for the future of transportation."
GM will now focus on developing its driver assistance technology called Super Cruise which requires active driver supervision, the company said. 
Industry Leaders React: &#8220;Achieving a general solution to autonomy is a very hard problem, especially doing so without making the car super expensive,&#8221; Tesla CEO Elon Musk said about GM&#8217;s decision. Tesla is aiming to enable autonomous driving with future versions of its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance software. 
&#8220;In case it was unclear before, it is clear now: GM are a bunch of dummies,&#8221; Kyle Vogt, co-founder of Cruise and former CEO, said in a post on social media platform X. Vogt left the company after the involvement of one of Cruise&#8217;s robotaxis in an accident in San Francisco in October 2023.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Timeline: Cruise, until the accident, was a major robotaxi player in the U.S. in the leagues of Alphabet Inc&#8217;.s Waymo. However, the accident led to increased regulatory scrutiny and the company subsequently suspended all of its operations in the U.S.
The company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38155753/cruise-back-on-phoenix-roads-soon-gms-self-driving-unit-reportedly-gears-up-to-resume-robotaxi-testi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">resumed driving its robotaxis with a human driver in the city of Phoenix</a>&nbsp;to gather road information earlier this year in April and in Houston and Dallas, Texas in June.
In July, the company also said that it is abandoning its plans to build the Origin autonomous vehicle and instead focussing on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39903020/gms-cruise-abandons-pedal-less-origin-autonomous-vehicle-pivots-to-next-generation-chevrolet-bolt-in" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">using its next-generation Chevrolet Bolt&nbsp;</a>for autonomous driving operations, citing costs and the &#8220;regulatory uncertainty&#8221; around the Origin pedal-less vehicle. 
However, hopes re-emerged briefly when Barra said in October that Cruise is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41481122/gm-working-hard-to-resume-driverless-cruise-vehicles-by-end-of-year-says-ceo-mary-barra-we-want-">looking to return to operating driverless vehicles</a> by the end of the year.
Why It Matters: GM currently owns about 90% of Cruise. The company said on Tuesday that it has plans with other shareholders of the company to raise this to 97% by acquiring shares. 
Following the process, the company said it would work with Cruise to restructure its operations, provided it receives Cruise&#8217;s board approval. The automaker expects the restructuring to lower costs by more than $1 billion annually once completed, which is expected to be done in the first half of 2025.
Cruise posted an operating loss of $2.067 billion in the nine months through the end of September. The parent company also spent $583 million on restructuring Cruise this year.

GM's Cruise Exit Draws Sharp Reaction From Co-Founder Kyle Vogt: Tesla CEO Elon Musk Says Autonomous Driving Is A 'Very Hard Problem'

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) CEO David Solomon said on Tuesday that the investment banking giant might explore becoming a spot market maker for leading cryptocurrencies if more regulatory clarity is provided.
What happened: At the Reuters NEXT event, Solomon stated that the firm's ability to participate in spot trading for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) was "extremely limited" from a regulatory point of view.
"You have to ask regulators because, at the moment, as a regulated banking institution, and I think you know this, we&#8217;re not allowed to own a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin as a principal," the CEO said.

Solomon acknowledged the broader sentiment that the regulatory framework vis-à-vis digital assets might evolve in the incoming Donald Trump administration but added that it's still "unclear" as to how it'd evolve.
However, he said that if the regulatory framework changes, the firm would "evaluate" making markets in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
&#8220;If, from a regulatory perspective, we were allowed to interact in these assets, we have a pretty big infrastructure."

Goldman Sachs CEO Says Bank Can Consider Bitcoin, Ethereum Spot Trading If Regulations Allow

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praised Robinhood Markets Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) new Gold credit card for its design quality, on Tuesday, adding to the growing buzz around the fintech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38713973/robinhood-q1-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-over-1-million-on-gold-credit-card-">company&#8217;s latest product offering</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;A few months ago Robinhood sent me a gold credit card with extremely high-quality details,&#8221; Altman wrote on X. &#8220;I thought it was a ridiculous marketing stunt at the time but now it&#8217;s an example I give when talking about great design.&#8221;
The endorsement comes as Robinhood&#8217;s credit card initiative has already attracted over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/fintech/24/05/38581631/1-million-users-join-the-waitlist-for-robinhoods-new-gold-credit-card-within-a-month-whats-behind">one million waitlist sign-ups</a> within its first month of announcement. The card, which launched in March, offers an industry-leading 3% cash back on all purchases with no annual fees or foreign transaction fees.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, who responded to Altman&#8217;s praise on X, said, &#8220;thanks, o1 is pretty nice also,&#8221; Tenev previously told CNBC that the Gold Card is part of a broader strategy to expand the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37964253/robinhood-aims-to-make-gold-membership-a-no-brainer-with-3-cash-back-card-vlad-tenev-says">company&#8217;s financial services ecosystem</a>.

Sam Altman Once Thought Robinhood's Gold Credit Card Was A 'Ridiculous Marketing Stunt,' But Now He Likes It — What Changed The OpenAI CEO's Mind?

The Future Fund LLC Managing Partner Gary Black highlighted on Tuesday that General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is abandoning its robotaxi ambitions to save $1 billion annually, marking a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42425386/general-motors-stock-is-rising-after-the-bell-whats-driving-the-action">shift in the autonomous vehicle race</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Cruise and GM&#8217;s technical teams will be combined into a single effort focused on developing autonomous and advanced driver safety technology for future models sold by GM,&#8221; Black wrote on X, noting the strategic realignment of GM&#8217;s autonomous driving efforts.
Black, a prominent Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull, emphasized GM&#8217;s decision to exit robotaxi development &#8220;given the considerable time and resources that would be needed to scale the business, along with an increasingly competitive robotaxi market.&#8221;
&#8220;The move could clear the way for GM to begin licensing TSLA's full-self-driving technology,&#8221; Black wrote on X.

Why It Matters: The move comes after Cruise suspended operations following an October incident where one of its vehicles dragged and injured a pedestrian.

&#8220;GM is committed to delivering the best driving experiences to our customers in a disciplined and capital efficient manner,&#8221; said GM CEO Mary Barra in a company statement. The automaker will now focus on expanding its Super Cruise driver assistance system, currently available in more than 20 vehicle models.

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) rallied sharply on Tuesday, becoming the biggest gainer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
What Happened: The payments-focused coin lifted over 9% over the last 24 hours to $2.30, erasing afternoon losses that saw it dip to $1.92. The coin&#8217;s trading volume soared 22% to $25 billion, emerging as the third-most traded speculative cryptocurrency. 
The rally outshone returns by higher market cap coins such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)

XRP has been one of the star performers of the ongoing cryptocurrency market bull run, skyrocketing as much as 286% over the past month.
Accordingly, large holders, or &#8220;whales,&#8221; have significantly increased their activity around the coin. 
Over the past 30 days, more than 2.66 billion XRP tokens have been moved to cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the highest since April, per on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant.
&#8220;Whale deposits can often signal potential shifts in strategy, as these players have significant amounts of assets at their disposal,&#8221; JA Maartunn, noted analyst and CryptoQuant author said.

XRP Trumps Bitcoin And Ethereum With 286% Monthly Gains As Whale Deposits Hit Highest Levels Since April: Here's What You Should Know

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has characterized President-elect Donald Trump as the &#8220;president of this AI generation,&#8221; while downplaying public threats from Elon Musk.
What Happened: During an interview at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York on Tuesday, Friar highlighted that Trump is taking office during a pivotal moment in the development of critical infrastructure for advancing artificial general intelligence.
She also addressed concerns about Musk, a close adviser to Trump, stating, &#8220;We trust him&#8230;as a competitor,&#8221; and expressed confidence that the Tesla CEO would prioritize national interests.

Friar, who joined OpenAI six months ago, also spoke about the demand for their new video generation tool, Sora. Account creation for Sora has been paused to ensure a measured release.
Why It Matters: Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, has been critical of its corporate restructuring. The tech mogul now leads xAI, a competitor to ChatGPT-parent.
Trump has also appointed Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253427/elon-musks-doge-dream-team-from-marc-andreessen-to-ubers-travis-kalanick-silicon-valley-titans-join-forces-to-overhaul-federal-spending">Department of Government Efficiency</a>, which aims to cut federal spending by up to $2 trillion.

Earlier, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42334927/sam-altman-brushes-off-elon-musks-trump-ties-but-admits-xai-is-a-serious-threat-to-openai-i-may-turn-out-to-be-wrong-but">confidence in Musk&#8217;s integrity</a> despite his political ties. &#8220;I may turn out to be wrong, but I believe pretty strongly that Elon will do the right thing.&#8221;
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42257564/musk-goes-to-court-to-block-openais-for-profit-transition">Musk filed a court injunction</a> to block OpenAI&#8217;s shift to a for-profit organization. This legal action comes after Musk previously sued OpenAI, alleging that the company was placing commercial interests above its initial mission.
Meanwhile, OpenAI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42382569/elon-musk-asks-was-it-ever-not-a-lie-as-he-accuses-openai-of-selling-out-to-microsoft-and-betraying-its-founding-mission">reportedly strengthening</a> its partnership with Microsoft Corporation. Previously it was reported that OpenAI&#8217;s board is considering removing a provision that currently limits Microsoft&#8217;s access to its AGI technology.

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar Calls Trump The 'President Of This AI Generation,' Downplays Elon Musk Concerns: 'We Trust Him… As A Competitor'

Jim Cramer urged investors on Tuesday to view Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) as a buying opportunity following its post-earnings decline, while cautioning against chasing C3.ai Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AI#NYSE">AI</a>) despite its recent strength.
What Happened: Oracle shares dropped 6.67% on Tuesday after the enterprise software giant reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/12/42396746/oracles-q2-earnings-strong-chart-signals-but-watch-that-rsi">fiscal second-quarter earnings</a> that missed Wall Street expectations. The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.47 per share on revenue of $14.06 billion, falling short of analysts&#8217; estimates of $1.48 per share and $14.11 billion respectively.
&#8220;I&#8217;d be a buyer of Oracle after this pullback, because the most important parts of the business are still doing great,&#8221; Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/10/jim-cramer-suggests-oracle-bought-on-weakness-c3ai-sold-into-strength.html">said</a> on CNBC. He attributed the miss to one-time issues, noting that Oracle&#8217;s core cloud infrastructure and AI businesses continue to show strong performance.
Oracle&#8217;s management reported that demand <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-misses/24/12/42425771/oracle-earnings-fallout-contrarian-opportunity">continues to outpace supply</a>, highlighting partnerships with prominent tech companies including OpenAI, xAI, Cohere, NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).

Why It Matters: However, Cramer expressed caution about C3.ai, which saw its stock rise initially after beating quarterly expectations before settling to a 0.12% gain. &#8220;If you own it, take something off the table,&#8221; he advised, citing concerns about the company&#8217;s revenue growth rate and continued losses.
The contrast between the two companies highlights the current market dynamics around AI stocks. While Oracle&#8217;s pullback represents an opportunity in a fundamentally strong business, Cramer suggested C3.ai&#8217;s rally might be driven more by AI enthusiasm than fundamentals.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Rishi Jaluria maintained a Sector Perform rating on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42420091/oracle-shares-down-after-mixed-q2-results-spark-analyst-caution-guidance-fell-below-consensus">Oracle with a $165 price target</a>, noting that while third-quarter guidance was light, the company&#8217;s cloud revenue outlook remains strong at $25 billion for the full year.

Jim Cramer: 'I'd Be A Buyer' After Oracle Earnings Dip, But Will 'Take Something Off The Table' On C3.ai Rally

Justin Sun, the founder of the&nbsp;TRON (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) blockchain, threw a jibe on Tuesday at Microsoft&#8217;s decision not to consider adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to its reserves, saying that it was motivated due to the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s price not being &#8220;high enough.&#8221;
What happened: Sun took to X to express his views on the keenly monitored annual meeting of the tech giant. The shareholders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42421374/microsoft-shareholders-reject-proposal-to-explore-bitcoin-investment">voted against a proposal</a> urging the company to study adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet.
&#8220;The Bitcoin price is just not high enough for Microsoft to consider it as a reserve,&#8221; the cryptocurrency mogul said in what looked like a cheeky dig. &#8220;I highly recommend buying it when Bitcoin reaches 1 million USD.

Why It Matters: Microsoft&#8217;s board expressed concerns over Bitcoin&#8217;s volatility and wanted to maintain its focus on stable and predictable investments.
A proposal in October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41536822/microsoft-shareholders-want-it-to-buy-bitcoin-say-microstrategy-shares-outperformed">urged the board to evaluate the benefits </a>of a corporate Bitcoin strategy, one on the lines of Michael Saylor&#8217;s MicroStrategy, the biggest corporate holder of the digital asset. In fact, Saylor himself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42259408/michael-saylor-says-bitcoin-could-boost-microsofts-valuation-by-nearly-5-trillion-and-add-584-to-the-stock-by-2034">explained the pros</a> of such a move in a 3-minute presentation earlier this month.

Justin Sun's Takes A Cheeky Dig At Microsoft For Rejecting Bitcoin Strategy: 'Highly Recommend Buying It When BTC reaches $1M'

Alphabet Inc.'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 has reportedly requested the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to dismantle Microsoft Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) exclusive agreement to host OpenAI&#8217;s technology on its cloud servers
What Happened: This request came after the FTC inquired with Google regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42229225/microsoft-faces-federal-investigation-into-cloud-and-ai-practices-amid-antitrust-scrutiny-report">Microsoft's business practices</a> as part of a larger investigation, reported Reuters citing The Information.
Tech giants like Google and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are keen to host OpenAI&#8217;s models.
However, they argue that Microsoft&#8217;s exclusive deal forces cloud customers to rely on Microsoft servers, potentially incurring additional costs, the report noted.

Google and Microsoft did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42359072/sundar-pichai-takes-a-jab-at-microsofts-ai-efforts-theyre-using-someone-elses-models-doubling-down-on-googles-innovation-power">tension between Google and Microsoft</a> over AI dominance has been brewing for some time.
Earlier this year during an antitrust case against Google, an internal email from Microsoft revealed that the investment in OpenAI was driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38582364/microsofts-fear-of-googles-ai-dominance-led-to-openai-investment-internal-email-reveals-were-multipl">fears of lagging behind</a> Google&#8217;s AI capabilities.
In September 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41025160/google-files-eu-complaint-against-microsoft-over-cloud-practices">Google filed a complaint</a> with the European Commission, alleging that Microsoft engaged in anti-competitive behavior within its cloud services sector.

Previously it was also reported that insiders at Microsoft have voiced worries that the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37605368/is-microsoft-turning-into-it-for-openai-insiders-say-tech-giants-ai-strategy-is-overly-reliant-on-ch">AI strategy is overly dependent</a> on its partnership with OpenAI.

What Happened: Bitcoin plunged to $94,300 in the early trading hours but pared losses by rebounding above $96,000 overnight.
Ethereum followed a similar trajectory, plunging from $3,750 to $3.522 before recouping some losses in the second half.
Cryptocurrency liquidations exceeded $625 million in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for $484 million.&nbsp;
Over $700 million in longs further risked liquidation if Bitcoin pulls back to $90,000. On the contrary, a spike to $100,000 would wipe out $719 million worth of short positions.
Bitcoin's Open Interest fell by 3.33% in the last 24 hours, while the number of traders longing the asset also fell, as evidenced by the drop in the Long/Short ratio.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Mirror Stock Declines Ahead Of Crucial Inflation Data Release: Top Analyst Says 'Buy The Dip,' Predicts $275K BTC Target

Editorial Note: The previous version of this article was published with an incorrect headline. We have updated the headline to accurately reflect the content and context of the story.
President-elect Donald Trump has named Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Andrew Ferguson as his choice for FTC chair on Tuesday, potentially reshaping the agency&#8217;s approach to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41986592/microsoft-cloud-is-reportedly-ftc-lina-khans-next-target-investigation-centered-around-alleged-anticompetitive-behavior">tech regulation and antitrust enforcement</a>.
What Happened: Ferguson, who joined the FTC in April and previously served as Virginia&#8217;s solicitor-general and chief counsel to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, would replace current Chair Lina Khan. 
Ferguson, responding to Trump&#8217;s announcement on X, pledged to &#8220;end Big Tech&#8217;s vendetta against competition and free speech&#8221; while promoting innovation. This stance suggests a potential shift from Khan&#8217;s aggressive enforcement approach, though Trump&#8217;s attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41986592/microsoft-cloud-is-reportedly-ftc-lina-khans-next-target-investigation-centered-around-alleged-anticompetitive-behavior">supported Khan&#8217;s tech industry lawsuits</a>.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Thank you President Trump.

I'm honored that you've chosen me to be FTC Chairman in your mission to make our country great again.… <a href="https://t.co/GxmYWfjpqm">pic.twitter.com/GxmYWfjpqm</a>

Why It Matters: Under Khan&#8217;s leadership, the federal firm has aggressively targeted tech giants including Amazon.com Inc.

The announcement comes as the FTC pursues <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41986592/microsoft-cloud-is-reportedly-ftc-lina-khans-next-target-investigation-centered-around-alleged-anticompetitive-behavior">major antitrust investigations</a>, including a reported probe into Microsoft Corp.
