Shares of companies involved in psychedelic-tied therapies surged Monday after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expedite research and access. US-traded shares of Compass Pathways spiked as much as 53% while AtaiBeckley surged by 37%. GH Research jumped 34% and Definium Therapeutics rallied 16%. The AdvisorShares Psychedelics ETF (PSIL) also climbed as much as 20% — touching its highest intraday level since July 2023. The new order directs the US Food and Drug Administration to issue expedited review vouchers to psychedelics with a so-called breakthrough designation, shortening the review time to one to two months from six to ten months. AtaiBeckley, Definium and Compass Pathways all have therapies with breakthrough status. Compass Pathways CEO Kabir Nath joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
