Cepton discusses national security and cybersecurity concerns in LiDAR industry

Cepton Inc

Brunno Moretti, vice president of product at Cepton Inc, discusses the implications of potential action against Chinese LiDAR companies by Washington in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Moretti highlights two main concerns: national security and cybersecurity. LiDAR technology is crucial for creating high-definition maps around vehicles, but if parts are produced by state-backed entities from non-allied countries, there are risks related to data security and mapping sensitive areas. Moretti also emphasizes the importance of a level playing field in the LiDAR industry and the need to ensure fair competition by preventing state-subsidized companies from gaining an unfair advantage. Cepton is part of the LiDAR Coalition, which includes US and US ally-based companies aiming to raise these concerns with lawmakers. Moretti underlines the significance of this discussion, especially as LiDAR technology is just emerging in the automotive sector. He concludes by reaffirming Cepton's commitment to safety and consumer awareness regarding the technology embedded in their vehicles.

Capturing Steady Consumer Spending on Health Care with XLV

Select Sector SPDR

One pocket of sector investing that can be easily overlooked is the health care sector, which is typically at the top or near the top of consumer spending and increases year over year. This was amplified during the pandemic. But even post-pandemic, health care continues to be a driver of the U.S. economy and deserves a presence in a diversified portfolio, especially when considering our aging population and shifting demographics. Representing a large portion of the U.S. economy, the health care industry provides essential care, prescriptions, and services that many lives depend on. Given the increasing demand driven by an aging population, investing in this sector can offer substantial opportunities. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) offers access to this valuable part of the economy that touches all. XLV tracks health care stocks from within the S&P 500 Index, weighted by market cap. The ETF offers broad exposure to core companies in the U.S. health care industry. The fund’s top 10 holdings* represent over 50% of the fund. UnitedHealth Group is the largest holding at 9.38%, followed by Johnson & Johnson (8.66%), Eli Lilly (7.12%), Merck (5.38%), AbbVie (5.25%), Thermo Fisher Scientific (4.21%), Pfizer (4.05%), Abbott Labs (3.85%), Danaher (3.37%), and Bristol-Myers Squibb (2.60%). Oldest Health Care ETF on Market Launched in 1998, XLV is the oldest health care ETF in the segment and continues to be a go-to tool for advisors and investors. The ETF is used widely for strategic or tactical positions, depending on the portfolio and investor. With more than $40 billion in assets under management and a low expense ratio of 0.10%**, XLV is actively traded with millions of shares exchanged daily. Since XLV is cap-weighted and selects only from the S&P 500, it tilts heavily toward more stable mega-caps. This open-ended fund tracks the Health Care Select Sector Index. But what XLV really does is offer easy access to the top names in the industry, including pharmaceuticals, health care equipment and supplies, health care providers and services, biotechnology, life sciences tools and services, and health care technology industries. And packaged in the exchange-traded fund wrapper, XLV offers a diversified approach to investing in the health care sector. For exposure to the U.S. health care market and the consumer spending behind it, XLV opens the door for advisors and investors of all sizes.

BNB Chain Partners with PLANET on its Mission of Blockchain for Environmental Good

PLANET

Binance-created BNB Chain, one of the most popular blockchains in the crypto space, has announced its partnership with PLANET, the blockchain for good platform directing the power of celebrities, fandom, and technology towards a sustainable future as envisioned by the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). BNB Chain announced the partnership from its official Twitter/X account and sees PLANET become an ecosystem partner to the BNB Chain. While details of the partnership are being released bit by bit, insiders expect broad-based cooperation across PLANET's ecosystem of utilities. PLANET has announced celebrity-backed Real World Assets (RWAs) - rare collectibles that will be made available for sale to PLANET's global communities. These RWAs are an essential part of PLANET's roadmap of carving out a sustainable $100 million annual revenue protocol as it disrupts the $300 billion green tech industry, and it is expected they might be made available on the BNB Chain. PLANET is also releasing digital Mystery Boxes with random attributes - with some carrying these extremely collectible RWAs - presenting another possible area of collaboration. The partnership with BNB Chain builds on a slew of recent announcements from PLANET. The wave began on July 6th, 2023, when football superstar Lionel Messi tweeted an animated video stating that he was working on something. The 33-second video showed the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) footballer kicking away a can labeled pollution. Internet sleuths found an unexpected clue - what seems to be PLANET's logo and an invitation to Join the PLANET on a billboard in the background as Messi walks through a city. This led to speculation that Messi is one of the first celebrities PLANET is partnering with on environmental causes. The momentum continued when Messi's new football team, Inter Miami CF, shared the video from their official Twitter/X account on July 24th, 2023, which renewed excitement about the possibility that the team had joined PLANET's sustainability cause. The Certik-audited $PLANET token has recently been listed on the top-tier Centralized Exchange (CEX) Bybit. It is also listed on other popular exchanges like Gate.io, MEXC, BitMart, and Poloniex. Fair-launched on the Ethereum blockchain's Uniswap DEX on May 30th, 2023, $PLANET has bridged to the BNB Smart Chain and is available on Pancake Swap- where it has recently won a popular vote to be included in a Pancake Swap staking pool and farm. About PLANET PLANET is an ecosystem harnessing the power of the blockchain to address pressing social and sustainability challenges, paving the way for a more transparent and sustainable future. PLANET has unveiled its mission towards global good as outlined by 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These goals address pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges facing our world to promote sustainable development holistically. PLANET is using the power of celebrity and fandom to mobilize the world to address global challenges, with the world's biggest celebrities backing sustainability projects dear to them through the platform. PLANET wants to move the sustainability space from short-term funding to viable long-term revenue streams that can power campaigns for a better future.
