<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductor Wafer Shipments To China&nbsp;</h2>
The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) imposed a <a href="https://www.bis.gov/press-release/bis-imposes-500000-mitigated-penalty-against-globalfoundries-74-shipments-entity">civil penalty </a>of $500,000 against GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>) last Friday. The penalty is related to shipments of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41811866/taiwan-semi-and-globalfoundries-finalize-major-us-funding-deals-eye-growth-in-chip-manufacturing">semiconductor wafers</a> valued at approximately $17.1 million to SJ Semiconductor, a China-based company on the BIS Entity List. 
The BIS said GlobalFoundries voluntarily disclosed the shipments and cooperated with the investigation which led to the significantly reduced fine.&nbsp;
"We want U.S. companies to be hypervigilant when sending semiconductor materials to Chinese parties," said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod. "And when, as here, that vigilance falls short and semiconductor materials have gone where they shouldn't, we want companies to make voluntary disclosures, remediate, and cooperate with us."

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAVE#NASDAQ">DAVE</a>) for allegedly using misleading marketing to deceive consumers, charging undisclosed fees and charging so-called "tips" without users' consent. 
"Dave lured in consumers living paycheck-to-paycheck with false claims of big-dollar advances, then reached into their pockets to give itself a so-called ‘tip,'" said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.&nbsp;
"Whether the products are called cash advances, payday loans, or something else, the FTC will take action to protect consumers from unauthorized charges and deceptive claims," Levine added.&nbsp;

Financial Crime Weekly: Alleged Snowflake Hacker Arrested, Banned China Chip Shipments, Payday Advance Company Sued

Financial stocks have surged ahead of tech in year-to-date performance, fueled by a Trump-led rally on Wednesday that lifted banks and brokers amid investor expectations of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">deregulation-friendly political landscape ahead.</a>
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) has risen by 30% in 2024, outpacing the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), which is up 26% this year. 
Small and mid-sized banks, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), have also seen strong performance, with a 13% jump following election results, bringing them in line with tech sector gains. 
Financial stocks, which have lagged behind technology for six of the past seven years, are now catching up, propelled by renewed optimism for deregulation and M&amp;A activities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts Expect M&amp;A Activity to Heat Up</h1>
With the Trump administration&#8217;s return to the White House, analysts are projecting a significant uptick in mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) in the financial sector.
&#8220;Under the upcoming Trump II administration, we expect a more favorable backdrop for M&amp;A which could lead to additional activity in the space after having been quiet for the past few years,&#8221; said Anthony Elian, CFA, analyst at JPMorgan.
Lower regulatory barriers could pave the way for consolidation among smaller banks, while larger financial institutions are expected to benefit from a more active capital markets environment.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Lighter Regulatory Touch Boosts FinTech and Digital Assets</h1>
Devin Ryan, analyst at Citizens JMP Securities, highlighted that a Trump-led "sweep of Congress" could significantly ease regulatory pressures for the broader financial and fintech sectors.
&#8220;The &#8216;Trump Trade&#8217; had already been underway in the market in recent weeks, but the resounding presidential win, and perhaps more importantly, likely sweep of Congress, is adding fuel to the fire in stock moves,&#8221; Ryan explained.
For fintech firms, this shift could relieve recent regulatory scrutiny, particularly in areas such as connectivity with traditional banks and practices overseen by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Companies involved in digital assets stand to benefit even more, as regulatory clarity would open the door for new market entrants and increase industry participation.
"Digital assets could arguably be the biggest winner of them all," said Ryan, who sees sentiment in the space "improving materially from here." 
Ryan indicates the political climate has shifted to one more favorable for cryptocurrencies, as policymakers begin to recognize the economic and electoral weight of pro-crypto sentiment.
The expert is particularly bullish on several key players in the financial sector. 
Among asset managers and retail brokers poised to capitalize on the deregulation wave, Citizens JMP Securities&#8217; top picks are:
