MercadoLibre is experimenting with small pilot programs to develop ventures in industries like pharma and food delivery. This development emerges after Bloomberg first reported that Amazon had acquired a stake in Colombian delivery platform Rappi through a $25 million convertible note. 

Martin de los Santos, Chief Financial Officer of MercadoLibre, discusses why pharmaceuticals have a chance to improve their low e-commerce penetration, as well as why food products create new revenue opportunities for the Latin American powerhouse due to the high frequency of purchases. Martin speaks with Katie Greifeld and Matt Miller on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Business leaders, investors and academics have cheered Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey’s efforts to counter the Trump administration’s research funding cuts with state money — so much so that a recent meeting on the initiative required overflow seating. Healey, a Democrat, in July proposed funneling $400 million to institutions affected by the federal pullback. 
Half of the money in Healey’s proposal would come from revenue raised by the state’s millionaire’s tax and would be reserved for the University of Massachusetts and other public colleges, while the rest could go to hospitals and private schools such as Harvard University.
She’s also seeking to establish a separate fund with contributions from philanthropists and private investors. The funds are meant to be a Band-Aid to help protect the universities and medical organizations that form the backbone of the Massachusetts economy. Healey sees the bill not only as a lifeline for life-saving therapies, but also as a way to retain the research talent that’s made Boston a global hub for the health-care industry.
Today's show features interviews conducted during a special broadcast from Boston Children's Hospital:
Bloomberg News Boston Money and Power Reporter Greg Ryan on a Massachusetts proposal to funnel $400 million to institutions affected by the federal pullback in research funding, Boston’s biotech real estate slump and other key regional issues
Dr. Joan LaRovere, Chief Medical Officer of Boston Children’s Hospital, on why research and innovation are central priorities for the nation’s leading medical institutions
Dr. Lissa Baird, Director of Neurosurgical Oncology and Co-director of the Brain Tumor Center at Boston Children’s Hospital, on leading one of the world’s most advanced pediatric neurosurgery programs
Dr. Ellen Grant, Director of Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging and Developmental Science at Boston Children’s Hospital, on the unmet needs to help treat women’s neurological health issues from migraines to autoimmune disorders to perinatal mental wellness
Dr. Martha Murray, Orthopedic Surgeon-in-Chief for Boston Children’s Hospital, on how she helped transform the treatment of ACL tears by pioneering an innovative, FDA-approved surgical procedure that promotes a more natural healing of ligament tears, an injury most common in teen girls and young women

Massachusetts Making Push to Offset Trump’s Research Cuts

Bitcoin sank deeper below the $100,000 mark, dragged down by a fresh wave of risk aversion and a selloff in tech stocks that reignited Wall Street jitters.
The digital currency fell as much as 3.9% to $97,956, intensifying a slump that’s wiped out more than $450 billion in value since early October. Once-reliable sources of support — including large investment funds, ETF allocators, and corporate treasuries — have stepped back, removing a key prop from this year’s rally and triggering a new phase of market fragility.
Analysts at 10x Research say the crypto market has entered a confirmed bear regime. The firm cites weakening ETF flows, continuing selling by long-term holders, and muted participation from retail buyers. The firm’s models flagged the shift in mid-October and now point to deteriorating sentiment beneath the surface. The next key level is $93,000, according to 10x.
Today's show features:
Eric Trump, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin, on his company’s business model and the regulatory environment for cryptocurrency
Elizabeth Renter, Senior Economist at NerdWallet, on key economic data expectations as the US government reopens
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media Analyst Geetha Ranganathan breaks down quarterly earnings from Disney
