Italy&#8217;s largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, dipped its toes in the cryptocurrency market, conducting its first Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchase worth $1 million, according to a report on Tuesday.
What Happened: Intesa Sanpaolo purchased 11 Bitcoins&nbsp;in what CEO Carlo Messina&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/italys-intesa-buys-1-mln-euros-bitcoin-first-proprietary-trade-2025-01-14/#:~:text=An%20internal%20memo%20seen%20by,through%202028%20for%20company%20investments.">described </a>as &#8220;a test,&#8221; Reuters reported, citing an internal memo.
Speaking to reporters at an event, Messina said that the lender had &#8220;very limited&#8221; room to invest in cryptocurrencies and that the latest trial was conducted to prepare for potential requests for such investments by &#8220;sophisticated&#8221; clients.

&#8220;We tested how to handle any potential requests from clients, but there will anyway be very tight limits and clients will need to prove they understand potential risks,&#8221; Massino said.
He also advised individual investors to avoid cryptocurrency investments, stating, &#8220;I myself don&#8217;t invest in Bitcoin.&#8221;

With total assets of €949.18 million ($977.40 million), Intesa Sanpaolo is Italy&#8217;s largest bank. The company didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.
Why It Matters: This development comes in the wake of Italy&#8217;s recent change in stance towards cryptocurrencies. 
Last month, Italian politicians from the ruling coalition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42430918/italy-backpedals-on-controversial-tax-hike-on-crypto-capital-gains-following-industry-opposition-no-more-prejudices">announced a significant reduction</a> in the proposed tax hike on cryptocurrency capital gains following industry criticism and internal disagreements.
The Treasury had initially planned to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41367903/italy-eyes-drastic-tax-hike-on-bitcoin-profits-42-looming-in-2025-shocking-countrys-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase the tax</a>&nbsp;on cryptocurrency capital gains from 26% to 42% under the 2025 budget. However, due to industry protests and internal debates, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42430918/italy-backpedals-on-controversial-tax-hike-on-crypto-capital-gains-following-industry-opposition-no-more-prejudices">rate was reduced</a> to 33%.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $97,052.07, up 2.82% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

U.S. semiconductor trade groups have mounted strong opposition to the President Joe Biden administration&#8217;s new chip export restrictions, warning of potential market share losses to global competitors in a private letter to Biden.
What Happened: The letter Tuesday, signed by six trade organizations including the Semiconductor Industry Association and SEMI, criticized the administration&#8217;s approach to implementing stricter controls on advanced computing chips and high-bandwidth memory technology, particularly regarding sales to China, Reuters reported.
The pushback comes as the Commerce Department unveiled new regulations Monday creating a three-tier system for global chip exports. The rules require most nations to obtain licenses for building AI data centers using U.S. chips, while providing unrestricted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42967114/what-does-joe-bidens-last-minute-chip-export-restrictions-mean-for-nvidia-that-has-jensen-huang-led-ai-giant-up-in-arms">access to 18 allied countries</a>.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which controls approximately 90% of the AI chip market, saw its shares drop 3% following the announcement. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) fell 2% in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42941939/nvidia-down-3-amd-falls-2-after-white-house-imposes-new-ai-chip-export-restrictions">response to the restrictions</a>.
"This rule threatens to derail innovation and economic growth worldwide," said Nvidia&#8217;s VP of government affairs, Ned Finkle, in a statement on Monday.
The pending regulations could particularly impact companies like Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), potentially reversing earlier interpretations that had allowed hundreds of millions in additional revenue from Chinese memory chip makers, according to the report.
&#8220;We understand that this additional rule will even more strictly control high bandwidth memory, without consideration of how such changes may impact U.S. companies or cede market share to global competitors,&#8221; the letter said.

Why It Matters: Oracle Corp. Executive Vice President Ken Glueck warned the restrictions could reduce the international chip market for U.S. companies by up to 80%, significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42941939/nvidia-down-3-amd-falls-2-after-white-house-imposes-new-ai-chip-export-restrictions">affecting the domestic cloud industry</a>.
The rules arrive amid escalating U.S.-China tensions over semiconductor technology. In December, the U.S. blacklisted 140 Chinese entities and restricted memory chip exports, prompting Beijing to implement retaliatory export <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides">controls on critical minerals</a>.
The regulations are set to take effect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42967114/what-does-joe-bidens-last-minute-chip-export-restrictions-mean-for-nvidia-that-has-jensen-huang-led-ai-giant-up-in-arms">after a 120-day comment period</a>, extending into the incoming President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, raising questions about their long-term implementation and effectiveness in the rapidly evolving AI chip market.

Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, has said that Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s leadership approach at Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has changed since he started learning jiu-jitsu.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Munster pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">Meta&#8217;s 5% workforce reduction</a> is a reflection of this strategic shift.
This follows previous reductions of 5% in 2024, 11% in 2023, and 13% in 2022. Despite these cuts, Zuckerberg plans to refill the positions, ensuring that severance costs do not impact Meta&#8217;s operating margin, he stated.

Why It Matters: At its core, Jiu Jitsu teaches principles of gentleness, mutual welfare, and maximum efficiency, according to Zenyo Jiu Jitsu, a website about the martial art. In 2023, Zuckerberg labeled the year as the company&#8217;s &#8220;year of efficiency&#8221; and announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs.
At the time, he said, &#8220;Change is never easy, but I know we'll get through this and come out an even stronger company that can build better products faster&nbsp;and enable you to do the best work of your careers.&#8221;
In a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32807615/how-mark-zuckerberg-harnesses-jiu-jitsu-to-run-meta-better-your-ability-to-keep-doing-interesting-th">June 2023 interview</a> with Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg underscored the importance of embracing embarrassment as a catalyst for growth.
He explained that his commitment to Jiu-Jitsu embodied this philosophy, as the physically challenging discipline humbled him during his early stages, teaching him valuable lessons through moments of being "kicked" and feeling "stupid."
Meta&#8217;s workforce reductions are part of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42865109/sony-co-founder-akio-morita-once-said-that-management-should-treat-companies-like-families-not-commodities-recession-comes-management-fire-people-but-stays-to-keep-its-profit">broader trend in the tech</a> industry.

California-based EV startup Rivian Automotive said on Tuesday that the company has deployed vehicles to support relief activities in the Los Angeles area <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42935570/newsom-la-wildfires-could-become-worst-natural-disaster-in-us-history">battling wildfires.</a>
What Happened: Rivian said that it deployed vehicles to support the World Central Kitchen, the Labelle Foundation, OpenClosit, SolarPunks, and more to transport relief supplies and support emergency response.
The company is also engaging with first responders on how it can assist further, the company said. 
To help its EV owners evacuate amid the fires, the company made no-cost DC fast charging available to Rivian vehicles at its own Rivian Adventure Network sites within 150 miles of Los Angeles. 
The company also offered its Rivian South Coast Theater in Laguna Beach as a place to rest or charge devices for people evacuating their homes.
Why It Matters: California has been battling multiple wildfires over the last few days. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the current incidents have burned over 40,000 acres with over 12,300 structures destroyed. About 24 people died in the fires, the department said. 
Other carmakers like Tesla and Ford also contributed to relief efforts. 
Earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42939786/despite-elon-musks-feud-with-gavin-newsom-tesla-rolls-out-support-for-california-amid-wildfires-with-cybertrucks-starlink-and-megapack-chargers">warned customers</a> awaiting their Cybertruck deliveries in Los Angeles that their orders might be delayed as the company used the trucks to provide power to Starlink internet terminals in areas of LA that lost connectivity.

Dearborn-based Ford and its philanthropic arm called Ford Philanthropy, meanwhile, announced two new grants to support the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund and cater to urgent relief needs.

Rivian Joins Ford, Tesla In Supporting Relief Efforts Amid California Wildfires

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) announced a significant leadership reorganization on Tuesday marking one of the most substantial executive reshuffles under CEO Jamie Dimon&#8216;s tenure, as President and COO Daniel Pinto prepares to step down after four decades with the firm.
What Happened: Jennifer Piepszak, previously Co-CEO of the Commercial &amp; Investment Bank, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer effective immediately. She will oversee technology, operations, corporate strategy, and diversity initiatives while managing the firm&#8217;s global corporate centers in India and the Philippines, which employ over 80,000 professionals.
In May, Dimon suggested he might retire within five years. Pinto, once a top contender to succeed him, briefly stepped in during Dimon&#8217;s illness in 2020. Dimon has praised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40443847/jamie-dimons-loyalty-play-jpmorgans-second-in-command-loses-grip-after-shakeup">Pinto as &#8220;extraordinarily smart&#8221; and a valuable partner</a>.
The reorganization comes as JPMorgan approaches its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42984073/banks-kick-off-earnings-season-on-wednesday-retail-traders-bet-big-on-financials-ahead-of-regulatory-tailwinds">fourth-quarter earnings report</a>, with analysts projecting earnings of $4.11 per share on revenue of $41.7 billion. The bank&#8217;s stock has shown strong technical indicators, trading above key moving averages at $247.27, up 1.25% ahead of the announcement.
&#8220;Daniel has been an outstanding business leader, who has nurtured many of our top senior leaders and contributed to the success of businesses across the firm,&#8221; Dimon said of Pinto, who will transition to Vice Chairman by June before retiring at the end of 2026.

Why It Matters: In concurrent moves, Doug Petno, former Co-head of Global Banking, will succeed Piepszak as CIB Co-CEO alongside Troy Rohrbaugh. John Simmons will step up as Co-head of Global Banking with Filippo Gori, both reporting to Petno and Rohrbaugh.
The leadership changes come as JPMorgan maintains its position as the largest U.S. bank by assets, with $4.2 trillion in assets and $346 billion in stockholders&#8217; equity as of September. Marianne Lake and Mary Erdoes will continue leading Consumer and Community Banking and Asset &amp; Wealth Management, respectively.
Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42820522/jpmorgan-earnings-are-imminent-these-most-accurate-analysts-revise-forecasts-ahead-of-earnings-call">analysts have expressed optimism</a> about JPMorgan&#8217;s outlook, with Piper Sandler recently raising its price target to $275, while maintaining an Overweight rating. The succession planning reflects Dimon&#8217;s focus on maintaining the bank&#8217;s market leadership amid evolving financial services landscapes.
