SMX shares are trading higher after the company announced integration of its cutting-edge technology to mark and protect NFC and RFID chips.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued three of the nation's largest banks and the operator of Zelle last week, alleging a failure to protect consumers from widespread fraud on the peer-to-peer payment network, resulting in customer losses of more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40155365/zelle-controversy-heats-up-jpmorgan-considers-legal-action">$870 million since 2017. </a>
The Details: The CFPB's <a href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/enforcement/actions/early-warning-services-llc-bank-of-america-na-jpmorgan-chase-bank-na-wells-fargo-bank-na/">lawsuit</a> alleges that JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Early Warning Services rushed to complete the Zelle payment network in order to compete with Venmo and CashApp and neglected to enact effective fraud safeguards.

"The nation's largest banks felt threatened by competing payment apps, so they rushed to put out Zelle," said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. "By their failing to put in place proper safeguards, Zelle became a gold mine for fraudsters, while often leaving victims to fend for themselves."
The lawsuit further alleges that the banks "systemically failed" their customers by failing to properly investigate customer complaints or share information on known acts of fraud which allowed bad actors to hop between banks and commit repeated fraudulent transactions.&nbsp;
Benzinga contacted JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Early Warning Services for comment on the lawsuit. 
In <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/zelle-fraud-chase-bank-of-america-wells-fargo-cfpb-payments/">a statement</a> given to CBS News, a Zelle spokesperson said the CFPB&#8217;s accusations are &#8220;legally and factually flawed&#8221; and the lawsuit is &#8220;driven by political factors."&nbsp;
JPMorgan also told CBS News that the CFPB has a &#8220;political agenda,&#8221;and the agency is &#8220;overreaching its authority by making banks accountable for criminals, even including romance scammers.&#8221;
The CFPB said its lawsuit aims to stop the banks' alleged unlawful practices, secure penalties for the violations and obtain other relief for consumers.&nbsp;
"The banks failed to fix glaring flaws in their systems even as hundreds of thousands of customers filed complaints about fraud," Chopra said in a <a href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/prepared-press-call-remarks-of-cfpb-director-rohit-chopra-on-the-zelle-lawsuit-announcement/">statement</a>.
"The banks knew their customers were having their money stolen, but since they weren't bearing the cost of these losses themselves, they dragged their feet on fixing the problems," he added.&nbsp;

Spotlight on Celsius Holdings: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

The statistics aren&#8217;t kind. Eighty percent of pro athletes go broke soon after retiring. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41918005/super-bowl-lix-betting-odds-kansas-city-chiefs-favorite-to-three-peat-can-detroit-lions-spoil-the-party-make-team-history">Kansas City Chiefs</a>&#8216; Marquise &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; Brown will not be among them. Despite NFL stars&#8217; eight-figure contracts, in most cases, their financial literacy does not match their salaries. Brown wants to change that.&nbsp;
&#8220;Players often leave their finances up to financial advisers who tend to invest in more traditional avenues, like stocks, because those methods also earn money for the advisers,&#8221; Brown told Mansion Global.

&#8220;It hurts, seeing the stories of these guys who end up with nothing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a problem within the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42512587/netflix-analyst-say-its-only-investable-media-stock-projects-150-million-nfl-christmas-day-boost">NFL</a>, specifically for guys like myself who come from a background without a lot of money. We&#8217;re not educated on how to handle finances,&#8221; Brown, who has earned $25 million during a five-year career, continued.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Private Equity Real Estate Firm</h2>
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, who was first drafted to the NFL in 2019 – first playing for the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens before signing with the Chiefs this year – has cofounded Platinum Pro Capital, a private equity real estate firm with his wife, real estate influencer Zoei Brown. The firm has joined Jason Caraway of Island Sky Investments to educate professional athletes on the advantages of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42484255/seven-of-the-nations-top-10-luxury-listings-are-in-florida-but-trouble-brews-for-landlords">luxury real estate</a> investing – in their case – in the Caribbean and other resort areas.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Resort Investing With Added Advantages</h2>
According to Bloomberg, the company has backed an oceanfront luxury condo development in the U.S. Virgin Islands, is renovating a resort in Grand Bahama Island and is planning other projects in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42532810/61st-coconut-grove-arts-festival-returns-presidents-day-weekend-2025-with-first-horizon-bank-as-pres">South Florida</a> and Costa Rica.
Player investors are not urged to buy high-end rental properties from Brown&#8217;s company. Rather, they invest in his fund passively for returns on their money and the option to stay in vacation properties for free during the off-season.&nbsp;
&#8220;A lot of guys in our field, they like luxurious things, they are drawn to attractive places,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;And a lot of us travel in the offseason, so instead of having a traditional house, they are drawn to places that feel like a vacation. That&#8217;s appealing to guys. I feel like it creates a sense of unity. So, owning property on Caribbean islands saves money in the long term because that&#8217;s where everybody wants to travel in the offseason. It really caught the eye of a lot of people.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brown&#8217;s Kansas Teammate Is Also An Avid Real Estate Investor</h2>
Of course, Marquise Brown isn&#8217;t the only NFL player with a penchant for real estate investing. Many players invest individually or as a group with other players. In fact, Brown&#8217;s teammate at Kansas, Justin Watson, is an investor in Teal Henderson&#8217;s Bones Investment Group, which, as of 2023, had 78 active investors, 97% of them athletes in the NFL. Bones Investment Group&#8217;s strategy is different from Brown&#8217;s, however. They invest in commercial buildings with tenants such as Publix, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/24/12/42492211/heres-how-much-1000-invested-in-home-depot-15-years-ago-would-be-worth-today">Home Depot</a>, Target, Burger King, CVS and Walmart.
&#8220;If I can expand these athletes&#8217; horizons and kind of put them out there, you know their work ethic and their drive and their desire,&#8221; Henderson, whose husband is a former college football player and NFL agent, told ESPN, &#8220;they&#8217;re gonna dominate, right? And they&#8217;re just not in the commercial space because no one has given them the exposure and the access to it.&#8221;

Kansas City Chief's Hollywood Brown Has A Real Estate Investment Company And Wants to Empower Other Athletes To Invest

Following his basketball career, NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant turned to investing in companies like BodyArmor and may have been helped on this new career path by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/06/39547388/happy-birthday-elon-musk-53-facts-and-figures-about-tesla-spacex-ceo-on-his-53rd-birthday"> billionaire Elon Musk.</a>
What Happened: Bryant spoke highly of Musk during an appearance at a 2017 convenience store trade show promoting BodyArmor, a beverage brand <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/11/23794643/kobe-bryant-bought-10-of-bodyarmor-in-2014-heres-how-much-that-investment-is-worth-now">he invested in</a> back in 2014.
"Elon Musk is I think a genius by all accounts," Bryant said in the interview, as shared by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSVdxhTEJP4">CNBC</a>.
Bryant praised the commitment and work that Musk put into his companies during the interview. The former NBA star said that he asked Musk one time about how he continues learning.
"The amount of research and the amount of study that he does is unheard of."
Bryant said that Musk shared an important investment lesson with him.
"He will always say the most important thing is imagination."
Bryant shared with the interviewer that imagination could be the key to elevating great ideas beyond merely reading books and studying.
"If you don't have the imagination to then take it to another level, it doesn't mean anything."
Bryant said his conversation with Musk was great and a joy.
The interviewer asked Bryant if this meant he would buy Tesla stock, prompting a great sound bite from the NBA star.
"I'll buy into Elon," Bryant answered.
You may not be a billionaire like Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Bryant died tragically in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/01/15186099/nba-legend-kobe-bryant-41-dies-in-helicopter-crash"> a helicopter crash</a> in January 2020 at the age of 41.
In the NBA, Bryant spent 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, the second-most seasons with a single team in league history.
Bryant's 33,643 points rank fourth all-time and the NBA Hall of Famer holds several records and ranks among the top players of all time. Bryant won five NBA championships during his career and took home four NBA MVP awards and two NBA Finals MVP awards.
After his basketball career, Bryant became an investor in several companies, including BodyArmor. In 2014, Bryant invested $6 million for a 10% stake in the beverage company.
Coca-Cola later acquired full control of BodyArmor in 2021, increasing its existing minority stake in the company. The beverage giant paid $5.6 billion to acquire the remainder of the company valuing BodyArmor at $8 billion.
This meant that Bryant's early stake went from $6 million to $800 million, representing one of the best returns on an investment ever achieved by a former athlete.
Musk's advice for Bryant may have shaped the way he looked at the BodyArmor and other investments.

SMX (Security Matters) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMX#NASDAQ">SMX</a>) shares are surging after the company unveiled a groundbreaking integration of its technology <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/ac42681455/smx-integrates-its-proprietary-coating-and-digital-platform-technology-for-nfc-rfid-chip-markings" rel="noreferrer noopener">to mark and protect NFC and RFID chips</a>.
This innovation aims to reduce risks of counterfeiting, tampering, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
The company has embedded its unique markers into the coating of standard NFC and RFID chips, enabling precise authentication and verification throughout their lifecycle.
The proprietary coating not only works with off-the-shelf chips but also enhances durability, performance, and resilience to environmental stressors, potentially extending the lifespan and reliability of the chips.
Additionally, the coating can store data and withstand high temperatures (up to 150°C), providing extra protection against the elements.
SMX envisions its technology benefiting the growing market for wearable and flexible electronics, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and medical devices, where secure, lightweight, and durable components are essential.
The technology is also well-suited for use in fashion, sports, and activewear, where components need to endure tough conditions like washing, flexing, and exposure to sweat and corrosion.
This month, SMX and Ybyra Capital formed a partnership. This deal positions Brazil to fully leverage its vast resources while implementing advanced technology for supply chain traceability, accountability, and sustainability, showcasing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/ac42386164/combining-assets-smx-and-ybyr-capital-adds-the-once-missing-link-to-brazils-manufacturing-evoluti" rel="noreferrer noopener">the country&#8217;s commitment to leading global change</a>.
