A trademark filing from Trump Media & Technology Group DJT has the cryptocurrency sector on high alert. President-elect Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance has already led to Bitcoin BTC/USD hitting several new all-time highs since the 2024 election. What Happened: Fresh off of reports that Trump Media & Technology Group was looking to acquire cryptocurrency company Bakkt Holdings BKKT , a new trademark filing could further signal the media company's growing crypto aspirations. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben shared a post about Trump Media Thursday, shown as T Media Tech LLC on the patent filing, which trademarks "TruthFi." The filing was made with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Nov. 18, according to Gerben. Gerben lists the following elements of the trademark filing for TruthFi: Digital wallets Analysis and compilation of data and statistics for financial research purposes Payment processing of cryptocurrency and credit cards Management of financial assets Digital asset trading Benzinga has contacted Trump Media for comment on the trademark filing.

While the trademark filing doesn't guarantee that Trump Media will enter the cryptocurrency sector, Gerben said there is a high chance of this. "In my experience, most of the time if a client is going to file an application, there is something going on," Gerben told the Times. The New York Times said Trump Media launching a cryptocurrency business could involve acquiring a company given its small employee count. The Financial Times previously reported that Trump Media was in advanced talks to acquire Bakkt, a cryptocurrency company backed by Intercontinental Exchange ICE . Bakkt said in June it was exploring strategic alternatives that could include a sale or breakup of the company. Trump does not have a role at Trump Media, but is the largest shareholder of the company he co-founded, with around 53% of shares. Donald Trump Jr. , his eldest son, is on the company’s board. The president-elect previously spoke ill of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency before reversing course before the 2024 election, a move that won him potential votes from single-issue cryptocurrency voters. An acquisition of Bakkt would push Trump’s media company and the president-elect deeper into the cryptocurrency sector, which comes after he promoted a crypto venture called World Liberty Financial with business partners. A push into the cryptocurrency sector by Trump's media company and the appointment of new pro-crypto executives in his White House administration could prove to be a win-win for the president-elect. DJT, BKKT Price Action: Trump Media shares gained 1.3% Thursday, closing at $30.49 versus a 52-week trading range of $22.55 to $79.38. Bakkt shares were down 1.6% to $31.10 versus a 52-week trading range of $5.57 to $68.75. Bakkt stock is down 41% year-to-date, but higher in the last five days by more than 140%.

It’s estimated the car may fetch in excess of €50,000,000, or CDN$73.65 million. What you’re looking at is one of just 14 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R race cars built, specifically chassis 00009/54. It wears the marque’s rather aerodynamic Elektron-alloy Stromlinienwagen bodywork, which together with the car’s 3.0-litre M196 straight-eight engine helped it achieve speeds of up to 186 mph (299 km/h). The specs aren’t what gives this piece of history its value, though: it’s its racing pedigree. This Benz was first campaigned in an open-wheel configuration, without that sleek, streamlined body, by Juan Manuel Fangio at the Formula Libre Buenos Aires Grand Prix in January 1955, near the start of that year’s Formula One season; you won’t be surprised to hear he took the win, there. It went on to become one of four W 196 R racers fitted with that then-experimental Stromlinienwagen coachwork, and in that configuration was raced by a young Stirling Moss at the 1955 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where it was forced to retire mid-race—after setting a record fastest lap, mind you. At the end of the ’55 F1 season, just 10 examples of those 14 W 196 R race cars remained, and Mercedes itself initially held on to all of them. Eventually, it decided to donate four of them to various museums; chassis 00009/54 here thus went to the then-fledgling Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Museum in 1965. The museum kept the car in good nick, refinishing it to a high standard twice, in 1980 and then in 2015. While living most of its life in the IMS Museum vault, chassis 00009/54 got around some, too, for example flying to the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto in 2003, among more prestigious concours and events. Its sale out of the museum collection is being coordinated by Chatham, Ontario, Canada-based RM Sotheby’s; the firm claims “chassis number 00009/54 represents only the second W 196 R ever offered for private ownership,” and the first streamliner-bodied example. It predicts its sale price will exceed €50,000,000, or CDN$73.65 million. The Benz’s standalone auction will take place not in Indianapolis, but in the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, on February 1, 2025. RM Sotheby’s was also behind the (similarly standalone) sale of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé that in May 2022 became the world’s most expensive car ever , when it hammered for €135 million (US$142 million, about CDN$182 million).

Trump has promised again to release the last JFK files. But experts say don’t expect big revelations
A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level MediaGeorgian president calls government illegitimate, claiming rigged election
