  • Venmo Introduces 'Stash' Rewards Program With Up to 5% Cash Back
    November 12, 2025, 10:46 PM EST. PayPal-owned Venmo launches its first always-on rewards program, Venmo Stash, offering up to 5% cash back on everyday purchases. The tiered structure starts at 1% with the Venmo Debit Card, rises to 2% with auto-reload of balance, and reaches 5% when users receive direct deposits on Venmo each month. Rewards are deposited into the Venmo balance and can be spent within the app. Stash complements Venmo's existing debit-card rewards and signals a push toward an expanded commerce ecosystem, with broader merchant rewards coming next year across Venmo's network.
  • Venmo's Debit Card Gets Venmo Stash: Up to 5% Cashback on Bundled Merchants
    November 12, 2025, 10:44 PM EST. Venmo is rolling out Venmo Stash, a rewards program for its debit card that uses targeted bundles of stores and restaurants for cashback. The program features a tiered structure: 1% base, 2% with auto-reloads, and 5% when you receive direct deposits into Venmo. Cashback is capped at $100 per month and posts directly to your Venmo balance. It's live now for all debit card users. Note that rewards apply only to the selected bundle partners, not everywhere you tap. This approach aims to boost adoption of Venmo's banking-like products by rewarding deeper use of the app. This could outperform many traditional debit rewards, since up to 5% can apply at multiple chosen merchants.
  • Leak: Japan-Only PS5 Price Cut to ¥50,000 (~$330), Region-Locked
    November 12, 2025, 10:42 PM EST. A fresh leak claims Sony will unveil a Japan-only PS5 Digital Edition priced at ¥50,000, roughly $330, a steep cut from the current $499 in North America. The purported plan coincides with a Japan-focused State of Play, fueling speculation that Sony will test a region-locked model that won't work in the US. The rumor contrasts with Sony's recent price hikes in the West, which cited economic factors. If true, this would mark the largest regional price discrepancy for a modern PlayStation console and raise questions about imports and regional strategy. While fans debate the move, the device is said to be region-locked to Japan to prevent cross-border purchases.
  • SoftBank Sells Nvidia Stake; Citi Sees NVDA Pullback as Buy Opportunity
    November 12, 2025, 10:40 PM EST. SoftBank has sold its entire Nvidia stake for about $5.83 billion, a move driven by capital reallocation rather than concerns about Nvidia's fundamentals. Despite the exit, Nvidia remains a long-term AI leader. Citi analyst Atif Malik is urging buyers on the pullback, eyeing near-term upside to around $220 and roughly 15% from current levels. NVDA stock has surged more than 100% YTD, and sentiment on Wall Street remains bullish, with a consensus rating near Strong Buy and a mean target near $235 (about 23% upside). Citi cites strength in Q3 momentum and AI demand, including progress like 6M Blackwell chips. SoftBank's divestiture funds new AI investments; investors should weigh the move against Nvidia's earnings trajectory and fundamentals.
  • Sony launches Japan-only, Japanese-language PS5 Digital Edition at 55,000 yen
    November 12, 2025, 10:38 PM EST. Sony announces a Japan-only, Japanese-language PS5 Digital Edition with 825GB storage, priced at 55,000 yen (~$350) and due November 21, 2025. The model, exclusive to Japan, follows regional price distinctions and mirrors other localized discounts as Sony aims to broaden its PS5 user base. In the U.S., the PS5 Digital Edition remains $499.99, and the disc version $549.99, with the PS5 Pro at $749.99. Sony also reported the PS5 has sold 84.2 million units through five years, with 3.9 million sold in the latest quarter, underscoring demand and the importance of price-competitive offers in sustaining growth.
