<a href="https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-5.html">https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-5.html</a>
&nbsp;
WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released enforcement actions taken against national banks and federal savings associations (banks), and individuals currently and formerly affiliated with banks the OCC supervises. The OCC also announced updates to its enforcement action search tool.
The OCC uses enforcement actions against banks to require the board of directors and management to take timely actions to correct the deficient practices or violations identified. Actions taken against banks are:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.occ.gov/static/enforcement-actions/eaAA-ENF-2024-56.pdf">Cease and Desist</a> Order against Bank of America, N.A., Charlotte, North Carolina, for violations and unsafe or unsound practices related to the bank's Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering, and sanctions compliance programs. Refer to OCC News Release <a href="https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2024/nr-occ-2024-140.html">2024-140</a>. (Docket No. AA-ENF-2024-56)</li>
</ul>
The OCC uses enforcement actions against an institution-affiliated party (IAP) to deter, encourage correction of, or prevent violations, unsafe or unsound practices, or breaches of fiduciary duty. Enforcement actions against IAPs reinforce the accountability of individuals for their conduct regarding the affairs of a bank. The term "institution-affiliated party," or IAP, is defined in 12 USC 1813(u) and includes bank directors, officers, employees, and controlling shareholders. Orders of Prohibition prohibit an individual from any participation in the affairs of a bank or other institution as defined in 12 USC 1818(e)(7). Actions taken against IAPs are:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.occ.gov/static/enforcement-actions/eaAA-EC-2019-81.pdf">Order of Prohibition and Order for Civil Money Penalty</a> against Claudia Russ Anderson, former Community Bank Group Risk Officer at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for her failure to credibly challenge the bank's incentive compensation program, failure to institute effective controls to manage the risks posed by sales practices misconduct, and failure to escalate known or obvious risks related to sales practices misconduct, which contributed to the bank's systemic problems with sales practices misconduct that lasted until 2016, as well as for obstructing the OCC's examination of the bank. The assessed civil money penalty is $10 million. Refer to OCC News Release <a href="https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-3.html">2025-3</a>.

&nbsp;
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the marketing of 20 ZYN nicotine pouch products through the <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/market-and-distribute-tobacco-product/premarket-tobacco-product-applications">premarket tobacco product application (PMTA)</a> pathway following an extensive scientific review. This is the first time the agency has authorized products commonly referred to as <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/market-and-distribute-tobacco-product/premarket-tobacco-product-applications">nicotine pouches</a>, which are small synthetic fiber pouches containing nicotine designed to be placed between a person's gum and lip. &nbsp;
The FDA determined that the specific products receiving marketing authorization met the <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/market-and-distribute-tobacco-product/premarket-tobacco-product-applications">public health standard</a> legally required by the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. This standard considers the risks and benefits of products to the population as a whole.&nbsp;
Among several key considerations, the agency's evaluation showed that, due to substantially lower amounts of harmful constituents than cigarettes and most smokeless tobacco products, such as moist snuff and snus, the authorized products pose lower risk of cancer and other serious health conditions than such products. The applicant also provided evidence from a study showing that a substantial proportion of adults who use cigarette and/or smokeless tobacco products completely switched to the newly authorized nicotine pouch products.

Jade City, a platform focused on tokenizing jade gemstones, has launched &#8220;Flappy Jade,&#8221; a new mini-app game on Telegram, offering players the opportunity to earn JCT tokens and tokenized physical jade gemstones through gameplay.
&#8220;Flappy Jade,&#8221; is a Telegram-based mini-game inspired by &#8220;Flappy Bird,&#8221; designed to engage users and build community interest. 
In &#8220;Flappy Jade,&#8221; players control a dragon, navigating it through obstacles to collect jade gemstones. 
The game, which has been in development for several months with community input from a test group, features leaderboards, rewards, and an incentive system for top-performing players.
High-scoring players will be rewarded with JCT, the upcoming native utility token for Jade City, and tokenized physical jade gemstones, which will grant access to future gemstone loot boxes within the platform.
The game's integration within Telegram enables users to jump into the game without downloading additional apps, said Jade City CEO William Ralston-Saul, &#8220;With the launch of Flappy Jade, our goal is to create a fun, engaging gaming experience with real-world rewards on the line.&#8221;

Jade City&#8217;s platform, built as an EVM-compatible dApp, is led by CTO David Atkinson, who has extensive experience in crypto-economics and ecosystem design.
The platform&#8217;s unique approach aims to offer jade-backed bonds that yield up to 24% annually in tokenized physical jade. 
These bonds will be paid out in real jade, with the platform using a &#8220;buy and burn&#8221; mechanism of generated profit to benefit JCT token holders.
The company has partnered with the owners of the world&#8217;s largest jade mine to secure a significant supply, positioning Jade City to &#8220;democratize global access to the jade value chain.&#8221;
Jade City intends to use blockchain technology to enhance transparency and accessibility within the gemstone trade, allowing users to earn, trade, and speculate with tokenized jade. 
The platform will be funded by issuing jade-backed bonds in return for USD. 
While the press release highlights potential for high yield for bond holders, it is important to note that the value of these assets is not guaranteed.

Shares of Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) were climbing on Thursday, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43003674/netflix-to-rally-around-21-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-wednesday">optimism ahead of its fourth-quarter results on Jan. 21</a>.

The Netflix Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58f614b60bd9910001a77adf/david-joyce">Analyst David Joyce</a> upgrading the rating for from Neutral to Buy, while maintaining the price target at $955.
The Netflix Thesis: The company is "proving out its global original content, fan engagement, live sports streaming, and advertising capabilities," Joyce said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The stock's premium valuation is justified by Netflix's rising share of highly rated content, award-winning original films and series as well as its streaming and connected TV advertising revenues, he added.
The upgrade in rating follows the recent pullback in the shares, given Netflix's "top-line and margin-expanding business model," while the estimate for the global paid net adds reflects "the special sporting events and seasonal new content releases," the analyst stated.
"Our channel checks suggest +26% growth in campaigns for ad buyers who were also buying in 4Q23," Joyce wrote. He added that Netflix's ad revenue could be up 160% to $609 million in the fourth quarter.
NFLX Price Action: Shares of Netflix were up 1.4% to $860.50 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Deere

Bitwise Asset Management has outlined a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42973211/solana-xrp-etfs-could-outperform-ethereum-etfs-says-jpmorgan">strong investment case</a> for Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), emphasizing its unique architecture and potential for mass adoption.
According to a <a href="https://etc-group.com/blog/special-reports/the-investment-case-for-solana/files/Bitwise-Eurupe-The-Investment-Case-for-Solana-SOL.pdf">report</a> titled &#8220;The Investment Case for Solana,&#8221; Solana's high-speed, low-cost transactions, supported by its innovative monolithic design, make it a standout in the competitive Layer-1 blockchain landscape.
The core of Bitwise&#8217;s thesis revolves around the concept of &#8220;Only Possible on Solana&#8221; (OPOS), highlighting how its architecture enables unparalleled scalability and efficiency. 
Unlike Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) modular Layer-2 approach, Solana's monolithic framework supports millions of daily transactions at a fraction of the cost. 
This design is particularly suited for applications in gaming, decentralized finance (DeFi), and high-frequency trading, areas where Solana has already shown dominance.
"Solana's technological backbone sets it apart," the report notes. 
The blockchain uses Proof of History (PoH) combined with Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) to ensure speed and efficiency. 
Upcoming innovations, such as the Firedancer validator client, could push transaction speeds to an unprecedented 1 million transactions per second, attracting institutional players and enabling high-frequency trading use cases.
Bitwise also highlights Solana's robust economic model, which balances inflationary staking rewards with deflationary mechanisms like transaction fee burns. 
This alignment of incentives ensures network security while maintaining token value. 
The staking model, combined with mechanisms to curb supply, creates a dynamic that Bitwise likens to financial market practices like stock buybacks.

Developer activity and ecosystem growth further bolster Solana's investment appeal. 
The platform hosts a vibrant ecosystem with projects spanning DeFi, NFTs and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).
High-profile collaborations with companies like Shopify and Circle validate its real-world utility. 
Additionally, Solana's user experience simplifies the onboarding process for developers, making it a preferred choice for building scalable decentralized applications.
The report acknowledges challenges, including criticisms around decentralization. 
However, Solana's resilience during network stress tests and its ability to maintain performance under pressure have reinforced its position as a leading Layer-1 blockchain.
Bitwise states that Solana offers a compelling combination of speed, efficiency and innovation, making it a strong high-beta investment option compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
With its unique ability to process high transaction volumes while supporting a diverse ecosystem, Solana is well-positioned for institutional and retail adoption in the evolving blockchain space.

온라인 데이팅 산업이 가장 힘든 시기를 겪고 있을 수 있다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/online-dating">전 세계 온라인 데이팅</a> 지출이 2025년 0% 성장으로 정체될 것으로 예상되는 가운데, JP모건의 애널리스트인 코리 카펜터(Cory Carpenter)는 혁신 부족과 젊은 사용자들의 관심 감소로 인한 침체를 보고 있다.
인공지능(AI)이 더 스마트한 매칭의 미래를 약속하는 가운데, 카펜터는 매치 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>)과 범블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>)의 전환 노력이 아직 초기 단계에 불과하며 앞으로 어려운 한 해가 될 것이라고 믿고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">매치 그룹: 틴더 턴어라운드가 실패</h2>
<ul>
<li>등급: 중립</li>
<li>목표 주가: $33</li>
<li>업사이드: 매출 감소 속에서 마진 확장</li>
</ul>
매치의 대표 앱인 틴더는 야심찬 AI 기반 제품 로드맵에도 불구하고 유료 사용자 수 감소에 직면해 있다. 2027년까지 매출 성장이 회복되지 않을 것으로 예상되는 가운데, 단기 전망은 어두운 상황이다. 카펜더는 틴더가 사용자 및 매출 추세를 안정시키기 위해 애쓰고 있음을 강조하며, &#8220;틴더의 회복에는 수년이 걸릴 것이며, 헤지펀드들은 여전히 조심스럽게 접근하고 있다&#8221;고 언급한다.
2025년의 주요 촉매제로는 생체 인식 검사, AI 지원 탐색 기능 및 잠재적인 행동주의 압력이 있다. 2.4%의 배당 수익률과 유망한 마진 중심 전략에도 불구하고, 투자자들은 회의적인 시각을 유지하고 있다.

<li>등급: 중립</li>
<li>목표 주가: $8</li>
<li>업사이드: 제한적인 자사주 매입 가능성, M&amp;A 기회</li>

범블의 성장을 재활성화하기 위한 전환은 순조롭지 않게 시작되었으며, 2024년 앱 재출시가 기대에 미치지 못했다. 2025년에도 매출이 다시 감소할 것으로 예상되며, 주요 경쟁자인 힌지가 계속해서 시장 점유율을 높이고 있다.
카펜터는 범블의 새로운 제품 기능이 &#8220;변화를 주기보다는 점진적&#8221;이라고 언급하며, 회의적인 시각을 유지하고 있다. 겨울 제품 출시에서는 AI 기반 사진 선택 및 신분증 인증과 같은 혁신이 포함되어 있지만, 이는 불확실성 속에서 희망의 빛을 제공할 뿐이다. 경영진의 생태계 강화 및 고객 경험 혁신에 대한 집중은 의미 있는 결과를 보여주기까지 더 많은 시간이 필요할 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">산업의 큰 변화가 올까?</h2>
단기 전망이 밝지 않은 가운데, 카펜터는 산업 통합의 가능성을 보지만, 단기적인 비공개 인수 거래에 대해서는 회의적이다.
데이트 산업의 다음 장은 대담한 AI 기반 제품 혁신이나 성장을 재점화할 획기적인 인수합병에 달려있을 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 매치 그룹의 주식은 금요일 3.30% 하락한 30.81달러에 마감되었다. 반면 범블의 주가는 변동없이 7.56달러에 마감되었다.

키뱅크 캐피털 마켓(KeyBanc Capital Markets)의 애널리스트인 저스틴 패터슨(Justin Patterson)이 범블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>)의 등급을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMBL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">비중확대(</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMBL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">Overweight</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMBL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">)에서 중립(</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMBL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">Sector Weight</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMBL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">)으로 하향 조정</a>했다.
패터슨은 앱 스토어 데이터 지표가 여전히 저조하게 나타나고 있어, 앱 새로 고침으로 인해 범블의 주요 차별화 요소를 훼손했을 수 있다고 경고했다. 또한 2025년 이 회사의 재무 전망에 대한 위험이 증가하고 있다고 언급했다.
범블의 주식이 2025년 예상 EV/EBITDA의 약 5배로 거래되고 있는 상황에서, 이 애널리스트는 인수 관심이 있을 수 있다고 제안했다.
매치 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>)이 명백한 인수자로 언급되었지만, 이 애널리스트는 산업 통합의 정도로 인해 규제 문제가 발생할 수 있다고 지적했다.
범블의 새로운 오프닝 동작(Opening Moves) 기능을 통해 여성들은 다른 사용자들이 대화를 시작하도록 유도하는 질문을 선택할 수 있다.
패터슨에 따르면, 이러한 변화는 매칭 후 여성이 먼저 움직이도록 하는 범블의 독특한 접근 방식을 방해한다
이 애널리스트는 이것이 범블을 다른 브랜드에 비해 더욱 경쟁력 있게 만든다고 썼다.

부정적인 측면에서 패터슨은 범블의 문제가 &#8220;빨리 해결&#8221;될 것이 아니며, 이 회사가 비즈니스를 안정화하는 데 시간이 걸릴 것이라고 강조했다.
이 애널리스트는 2분기 실적 발표 전에 투자자들에게 실적 재조정에 대해 경고했지만, 수정의 범위가 예상보다 더 심각하게 나타났고, 연간 기준으로 하반기 매출이 감소할 것으로 예상된다고 했다.
2024 회계연도에 대해 이 애널리스트는 이 회사가 10억 6,700만 달러의 매출을 기록할 것으로 전망했다.
주가 움직임: 범블의 주식은 금요일 0.16% 하락하여 6.43달러에 마감되었다.

이 회사는 이미 사용자 사진에서 최상의 이미지를 선택하는 AI 프로필 작성 도구의 한정판 출시를 시작했다. 범블도 비슷한 기능을 개발 중인 것으로 알려졌다.
AI &#8216;윙맨&#8217;의 이러한 도입은 온라인 데이트 플랫폼이 새로운 사용자들을 유치하기 위해 고군분투하는 가운데 이루어졌다.
지난 3월 원폴(OnePoll)의 조사에 따르면 데이트 앱 사용자의 75% 이상이 피로감(번아웃)을 경험했으며, 40%는 좋은 짝을 찾지 못하는 반복적인 실패로 인해 피로감을 느꼈다고 이 보고서가 밝혔다.

왜 중요한가요 (Why It Matters): 2분기에 범블은 총 매출이 3% 증가한 2억 6,900만 달러를 기록했다고 보고했다.
한편, 틴더와 힌지의 모회사인 매치 그룹의 2분기 실적은 전년 대비 4% 증가한 8억 6,407만 달러의 매출을 기록하며 예상치와 일치했다.
그라인더는 2024년 6월에 끝나는 분기에 8,235만 달러의 매출을 보고했다. 이 수치는 잭스(Zacks) 컨센서스 추정치를 6.39% 초과했다.
작년 12월에는 그라인더가 내부 AI 기능을 강화하고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36272032/grindr-turns-to-artificial-intelligence-to-help-users-network-and-date">사용자 경험을 개선</a>하기 위해 엑스휴먼(Ex-Human)과 파트너십을 맺었다는 사실이 밝혀졌다.

틴더, 그라인더 혹은 범블에서 연결이 어려운가요? 이제 데이팅 앱들이 AI 윙맨을 제공

범블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>)의 주가가 지난주 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40259982/magnitude-of-misexecution-at-bumble-comes-as-surprise-analysts-slash-forecasts-foll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">눈에 띄는 매출의 예상 미달</a>로 인해 급락한 것은 경쟁이 치열한 데이트 앱 세계에서 이 회사가 성공할 수 없음을 강조했다고 한 분석가가 말했다.
범블은 회사의 2분기 매출 2억 6,860만 달러가 분석가 컨센서스를 1.6% 하회하고, 3분기 매출 중간값인 2억 7,200만 달러가 컨센서스를 8.2% 하회한 후 지난 수요일 시장 마감 이후 30% 하락했다고 로이터가 보도했다.
&#8220;현재 주가 수준에서 우리는 BMBL이 더 이상 복합 수익 성장, 안정적/향상 궤도 마진 및/또는 더 넓은 산업 성장을 달성할 수 있는 능력의 어떤 요소에도 가격을 책정하지 않는다고 믿고 있다&#8221;고 골드만삭스의 분석가 에릭 셰리던(Eric Sheridan)이 금요일에 메모를 작성했다.

골드만삭스는 여전히 해당 주식에 대해 매수 등급을 유지했으며 월요일에는 3.93% 하락한 5.74달러로 마감했다. 2021년 3월 초, 범블은 주당 70달러가 조금 넘는 가격에 거래되었다.
지난 1월 리디안 존스(Lidiane Jones)에게 CEO 자리를 넘겨준 범블의 창립자인 휘트니 울프 허드(Whitney Wolfe Herd)는 지난 5월 회사가 사용자가 다음 배우자를 찾을 수 있도록 앱에 인공 지능을 통합하는 방안을 검토하고 있다고 말했다.
그녀는 블룸버그와의 <a href="https://x.com/buccocapital/status/1788902138858353109">인터뷰</a>에서 &#8220;진짜 밖으로 나가고 싶다면 당신의 데이트 컨시어지가 다른 데이트 컨시어지와 데이트할 수 있는 세상이 있다&#8221;고 말해 큰 웃음을 자아냈다.
범블은 월요일 Benzinga에게 회사의 AI 사용 계획에 대한 인터뷰 요청에 허드와 존스 모두 참석할 수 없다고 말했다.
주가 움직임: 범블을 추적하는 상장지수펀드(ETF)도 월요일 하락했다.

범블은 '더 폭넓은 산업 성장을 달성할 수 있는 능력'에 대해 고민: 분석가

범블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>)의 주가는 회사가 수요일에 2분기 재무 결과를 발표한 후 하락했다. 보고서의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40232453/bumble-inc-announces-second-quarter-2024-results">자세한 내용</a>은 다음과 같다.
주요 사항: 범블은 분기 매출 2억 7,312만 달러에 주당 22센트의 분기 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 분석가 추정치에 약간 못 미치는 수치이다.
범블 앱 매출은 4.8% 증가한 2억 1,800만 달러를 기록했으며, 바두(Badoo) 앱 및 기타 매출은 2.2% 감소한 5,060만 달러를 기록했다. 총 유료 사용자는 410만 명으로 증가했고, 유료 사용자당 총 평균 수익(ARPPU)은 23.23달러에서 21.37달러로 감소했다.
범블의 CEO인 리디안 존스(Lidiane Jones)는 "범블 앱 출시의 첫 번째 장은 더 나은 여성 경험과 향상된 참여를 제공했다"고 말했다.
"우리는 이러한 초기 성공에 만족하지만 장기적으로 범블의 사용자 성장 엔진을 다시 활성화하려면 이번 출시를 넘어서는 고객 가치 제공을 위해 확고한 입장을 취해야 한다는 것이 분명한다. 우리는 생태계, 고객 경험 및 수익 전략을 강화하기 위해 취하는 조치가 범블을 사람들이 자신의 삶에서 성공적이고 건강한 연결을 찾을 수 있는 최고의 장소로 만들어 우리의 성장에 활력을 불어넣을 것이라고 확신한다"고 존스가 덧붙였다.
전망: 범블은 3분기 매출을 추정치 2억 7,300만 달러 대비 2억 6,900만~2억 7,500만 달러로 예상하며, 범블 앱 매출은 2억 1,700만~2억 2,100만 달러 사이이다. 범블은 조정 EBITDA를 7,700만~8,000만 달러, 연간 매출 성장을 1~2%로 예상한다.
BMBL 주가 움직임: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 범블의 주식은 애프터마켓에서 30.52% 급락한 5.60달러를 기록했다.
