$Apple was sued on Friday by shareholders in a proposed securities fraud class action that accused it of downplaying how long it needed to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its Siri voice assistant, hurting iPhone sales and its stock price.

The complaint covers shareholders who suffered potentially hundreds of billions of dollars of losses in the year ending June 9, when Apple introduced several features and aesthetic improvements for its products but kept AI changes modest.

Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CEO Tim Cook, Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh and former CFO Luca Maestri are also defendants in the lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court.

Shareholders led by Eric Tucker said that at its June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple led them to believe AI would be a key driver of iPhone 16 devices, when it launched Apple Intelligence to make Siri more powerful and user-friendly.

ircle stock's massive rally is showing no signs of cooling.

The issuer of USDC stablecoins soared roughly 15% in morning trading on Friday, extending its stunning post IPO gains as Wall Street bets big on the crypto player.

"Circle as a top-tier crypto 'disruptor' with a sizeable future opportunity," Seaport Research Partners analyst Jeff Cantwell wrote in a note on Friday. He said that the company would benefit from an improving regulatory climate in the US.

"We think the overall stablecoin 'market cap' will reach $500B by the end of next year; longer-term, we think it ultimately can reach $2T," he added.

Cantwell initiated Circle with a Buy rating and a price target of $235. Shares hovered near $228 each during Friday's rally.

The stock is on track to close out the week up more than 65%. Shares are up more than 600% above their IPO price of $31.

The S&P 500 is up just over 9%. Talen? Up 37%.⁠the numbers speak for themselves. $TLN

This isn’t luck or momentum chasing. Talen has been building real infrastructure for real demand. It owns and operates the Susquehanna nuclear plant, which powers AWS data centers and the Cumulus Digital Campus, a massive crypto mining hub. Both are energy-intensive bets on long-term AI and digital infrastructure growth.⁠
⁠
Shares have climbed 150% over the past year and now sit just under $292.⁠
⁠
Talen also has macro tailwinds behind it. The Inflation Reduction Act continues to boost nuclear operators with production tax credits, and demand for clean, stable energy is rising fast. Talen is locking in revenue and buying back shares through a $1.25 billion repurchase plan that runs through 2026.

Elon Musk's #X to launch in-app investment and trading features in a push to become a 'super app,' per the Financial Times.

Here's the big question, will it be on the blockchain?

[Rian Johnson @JohnsonTtict]

Visa $V & Mastercard $MA dropped ~5% today after reports Amazon, Walmart & others are looking at stablecoins — just as the GENIUS Act opened the door.

Why the panic?

Stablecoins can cut payment costs by up to 85%, bypassing card networks entirely.

That’s a huge threat to Visa and Mastercard—they're in danger of losing massive fee revenue if stablecoins go mainstream.
