Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick Signals Interest in Crypto Transactions Amid Regulatory Talks

After President Donald Trump returned to the White House and pledged procrypto regulations, U.S.based banks sought to increase their involvement in cryptocurrencies. Talks with U.S. regulators, including the Treasury, will intensify in the upcoming months, according to Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick, who announced plans to investigate the banks potential as a cryptocurrency transactor while preserving regulatory compliance. Morgan Stanley has historically taken a cautious approach to virtual assets. Still, it recently started letting financial advisors suggest Bitcoinbacked exchangetraded funds ETFs to a limited number of highnetworth customers. The SEC has established a task group to hasten the draughting of crypto laws, and the crypto industry is eagerly expecting the fulfilment of Trumps promises. Once regulations are defined, traditional banks are anticipated to adopt crypto services rapidly. Read More..

The merger plan between Perplexity AI, a U.S. search engine startup, and ByteDance, the parent firm of TikTok, has been changed to create a new company that will unite Perplexity and TikTok U.S. Under the plan, a new U.S. holding company called "NewCo" would be established, with the goal of the U.S. government owning up to 50% of the latest business at its subsequent initial public offering IPO. New investors would purchase TikTok U.S. from ByteDance, omitting the apps core recommendation system. According to the plan, the IPO will be valued at least $300 billion. With TikTok services recently restored in the United States, Perplexity AIs updated bid demonstrates its conviction that a merger rather than a sale could increase the likelihood of success.

To help stabilise the faltering economy, Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghanas new finance minister, intends to approach the International Monetary Fund IMF for further funding. Reliance on Treasury bills has not worked, Forson said ahead of a meeting with an IMF group in Accra, underscoring the necessity of working with local and foreign partners for essential funding. He wants to stop inflation, cut waste, cut public spending, and resume issuing domestic bonds by midyear. Ghana, which defaulted on most of its external debt in 2022, is almost finished with a problematic restructuring procedure. Since taking office, President John Dramani Mahama has prioritised fixing issues in the cocoa industry and revitalising the economy. Read More..

TSMC Projected to Report 58% Surge in Q4 Profit Amid AI Demand Boom

Due to rising demand, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. TSMC, the worlds top manufacturer of cuttingedge chips for AI applications, is expected t

Due to rising demand, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. TSMC, the worlds top manufacturer of cuttingedge chips for AI applications, is expected to record a stunning 58% increase in fourthquarter profit, hitting T$377.95 billion $11.41 billion. The U.S. technology restrictions on China and the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming Trump government, which may impose sweeping import taxes, pose problems for TSMC despite the AI megatrends benefits. Analysts predict that AI clients will be the primary driver of TSMCs growth in 2025. While keeping the majority of its operations in Taiwan, the business is making significant investments in new plants, including a $65 billion project in Arizona. TSMC will also update its capital expenditure and output outlook at its next earnings call. Read More..

New Banshee Infostealer Version Evades macOS XProtect Antivirus

An updated variant of the Banshee infostealer, a macOSspecific spyware that can evade Apples XProtect antivirus, has been found by Check Point Researc

An updated variant of the Banshee infostealer, a macOSspecific spyware that can evade Apples XProtect antivirus, has been found by Check Point Research. It began as a $3,000/month stealerasaservice in the middle of 2024, but its source code breach in November 2024 caused it to spread widely among threat actors. The upgraded version no longer avoids Russian users and uses sophisticated string encryption to prevent detection, suggesting a new development team. It targets negligent software engineers by posing as genuine software and spreading via GitHub. Lumma Stealer, Banshees Windows counterpart, has operated since September 2024. Researchers emphasise the necessity for proactive cybersecurity measures by warning of macOSs growing prominence as a target for sophisticated cyber assaults. Read More..
