The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed a civil forfeiture complaint on Sep. 14 seeking approximately $61 million in cryptocurrency linked to black-market sales of Iranian crude oil.
According to the DOJ, the funds were allegedly meant to support the Iranian government and its military, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC. The U.S. government has designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
A civil forfeiture complaint is a legal action in which the government seeks to seize money or property it believes was involved in or resulted from criminal activity. It is not a criminal charge, the allegations are not proven until a court rules in the government's favor.

The complaint alleges that two Chinese companies, Blessed Trust and Hexa Whale, used trading accounts at Binance to launder proceeds from sanctioned Iranian oil sales. Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by daily trading volume.

SpaceX (SPCX) shares are pushing higher on Wednesday after Cathie Wood, the influential chief executive of ARK Invest, said Starship could be generating $10 trillion in annual revenue by 2030. Elon Musk responded to her ambitious forecast on X, saying it's "not impossible."
SpaceX stock has been a volatile ride for investors since its debut in June. As of writing, it's down about 25% versus its year-to-date high.

Bridgewater generally runs a diversified, macro-driven portfolio that balances exposure across ******* ets, countries and economic environments. ARK concentrates on companies it believes can benefit from disruptive innovation.
Still, Insider Monkey's ******* ysis of their second-quarter 13F filings shows that the two firms shared exposure to several stocks. Among the largest common holdings were Eli Lilly (LLY) and Nvidia (NVDA).
Bridgewater held 87,023 Eli Lilly shares worth about $104.4 million at the end of the second quarter, after increasing its position by 16,211 shares. ARK held 77,254 shares valued at about $92.7 million, after adding 64,578 shares.
Bridgewater's Nvidia stake was much larger, comprising 3.87 million shares worth about $773.6 million. However, it reduced the position by 826,808 shares during the quarter. ARK moved in the other direction, adding 345,821 Nvidia shares to end the quarter with 1.38 million shares valued at about $276.4 million.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood called warnings that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity "ridiculous," while welcoming the industry's push to slow advances at the AI frontier so safety measures can catch up.
Wood also expects President Donald Trump to block new federal rules. Polymarket traders currently give a qualifying U.S. AI safety law just a 19% chance of being enacted before 2027, on about $114,000 in trading.
Wood called the industry's slowdown pledge a "positive step." Drawing on her experience investing through the tech and telecom bubble, she said she welcomed industry leaders publicly confronting AI's risks.
"Half of the solution is understanding the problem," Wood told Reuters.

Cathie Wood, head of Ark Investment Management, often buys her favorite tech stocks when she sees a new opportunity.
That's what she did last week, pouring $27.9 million into Meta Platforms (META) as the company pushes deeper into AI.
Last year, the flagship Ark Innovation ETF gained 35.49%, far outpacing the S&P 500's return of 17.88% in the same period. So far this year, Wood's flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) is up 8.66% as of writing, while the S&P 500 surged 11.85%, Yahoo Finance data shows.
Wood gained a reputation after the Ark Innovation ETF delivered a rosy 153% return in 2020. But her style also brings painful losses in bearish markets, as seen in 2022, when the ETF tumbled more than 60%.
Those swings have weighed on Wood's long-term gains. As of Sept. 11, her Ark Innovation ETF has delivered a five-year annualized return of -6.89%, while the S&P 500 has an annualized return of 11.42% over the same period, according to data from Morningstar.

Including today's gains, Skyworks stock is up more than 50% versus its low in mid-July.

When Cathie Wood makes a move, Wall Street tends to pay attention. Her trades have become something of a market signal, especially when they involve the high-growth themes she has consistently backed. And in September, that shopping list included a little bit of everything — ****** e, fintech, crypto and biotechnology — while ARK Investment Management trimmed several large technology and healthcare positions.
In fintech, ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) has been steadily adding to its Robinhood Markets (HOOD) bet. On Sept. 4, the fund bought 28,589 HOOD shares worth roughly $3.5 million, just a day after the stock jumped 16.6%. ARK then returned to the checkout counter on Sept. 8, purchasing another $3.3 million worth of Robinhood's shares. The buying reflects growing optimism around Robinhood's prediction markets, banking, and crypto businesses. The additions have also pushed HOOD into ARKK's top 10 holdings, with a 4.17% portfolio weight.

September 4 delivered a stark rotation. Memory, connectivity, chip-equipment, and power stocks rallied while Adobe fell 6.7% and Palantir dropped 4.5%. Adobe's decline followed news that Anil Chakravarthy will become chief executive on December 1, while Palantir faced a broader move away from richly valued software. Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) test whether investors are underestimating software monetization or correctly pricing greater disruption risk.
Adobe's bull case is embedded distribution across creative, document, and marketing workflows. Fiscal second-quarter revenue rose 13% to a record $6.62 billion, and AI-first annualized recurring revenue more than tripled to above $500 million. Chakravarthy already runs customer-experience orchestration, which could connect AI creation with enterprise activation. The bear case is that low-cost generative tools erode pricing, while its CEO and interim-CFO transitions complicate execution.
Insider Monkey counted 81 hedge funds holding Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) at June 30, down from 86 at March 31. Arrowstreet Capital, led by Peter Rathjens, Bruce Clarke, and John Campbell, disclosed 6,787,022 shares, roughly 0.1% fewer sequentially. The filing predates the leadership announcement.
Palantir's bull case is already visible in results. Second-quarter revenue grew 93% to $1.94 billion, U.S. commercial revenue rose 149%, and adjusted operating margin reached 62%. Its software can turn model output into governed operational decisions. The bear case is valuation, contract concentration, termination clauses, and the risk that current growth rates normalize as competitors improve.
Eighty-six hedge funds held Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) in Q2, down from 96 in Q1. Cathie Wood's ARK Investment Management reported 3,212,286 shares, about 3.3% more than in the prior quarter.

Cathie Wood appears to have made a sharp choice inside the same AI trade. ARK Invest's August 28 transaction disclosure showed sales of 156,286 shares of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) and purchases of 243,707 shares of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA). Based on the August 28 closing prices, the moves were worth an estimated $72.8 million and $53.0 million, respectively. ARK also bought Broadcom, making the message look less like a retreat from AI chips than a reordering of which suppliers offer the best risk-adjusted exposure.
The bull case for the switch is execution. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported quarterly revenue of $96.2 billion, including $89 billion from its data-center business. Its scale, software ecosystem, and ability to sell complete systems give it a clearer path to monetizing every new cluster. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is growing rapidly from a smaller base, with second-quarter revenue up 50% and data-center revenue up 107%, but it still has to convert product momentum into durable share gains against a rival that sets much of the market's pace.
That does not make AMD the obvious loser. Its Instinct accelerators and EPYC server processors give customers a credible second source, while hyperscalers have strong incentives to prevent one vendor from controlling their economics. If AMD keeps improving its software and wins larger deployments, its smaller revenue base could produce more upside. Nvidia's strength also creates its own bear case: enormous expectations, customer concentration, export restrictions, and the risk that buyers increasingly favor custom silicon can punish even excellent results.
ARK's filing does not disclose its rationale. The same-day trade reduced AMD exposure and increased Nvidia exposure, but it does not mean AMD's thesis has broken. Hedge-fund holder counts rose for both names. At the end of Q2, 164 hedge funds owned AMD, up from 134 one quarter earlier, while Nvidia ownership rose to 285 funds from 275. Marshall Wace increased its AMD common-share position 3% to 3.9 million shares, and Fisher **** et Management raised its Nvidia stake 3% to 90.9 million shares.
AMD's reported short positioning was not exceptionally high. As of the August 14 settlement date, 40.1 million shares were sold short, equal to 2.47% of the float and 1.5 days of average trading volume. The trade is striking, but the fuller picture is a two-winner market: Nvidia offers the cleaner execution story, while AMD offers the more demanding and potentially more explosive share-gain story.

Ondo Finance has filed three comment letters with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), arguing that existing U.S. regulations already have room for products built on blockchain technology, they just need to be applied differently.
The letters, published Sep. 2, cover three separate rulemaking areas: perpetual futures product definitions, portfolio margining, and market data reporting.
Each letter addresses a different rule, but the underlying argument is the same across all three: regulators should judge whether a system works, not whether it looks like the one it's replacing.

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest picked up 243,707 Nvidia shares on Friday at a total cost of approximately $53 million, according to Barron's. The buy came after Nvidia stock closed down 4.6% at $217.55 that day, pulling back from a surge driven by the chipmaker's latest earnings report.
The purchase fits a pattern that has emerged over recent months, with Wood adding to ARK's Nvidia holdings at the same time she has been paring back its AMD exposure. ARK sold 156,286 AMD shares on Friday as well.
Nvidia stock was up 0.5% at $218.70 in premarket trading Monday.
Nvidia's second-quarter revenue more than doubled, clearing ****** yst forecasts by the widest margin in two years, and the company projected 70% revenue growth for its fiscal 2028 year. Nvidia stock climbed roughly 7% on Thursday following the report, lifting chip stocks broadly and pushing major indexes higher. The stock's subsequent pullback on Friday set up the entry point for ARK's purchase.
CEO Jensen Huang said demand for the company's products exceeds its ability to supply them.
