The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech-awards">Benzinga Fintech Deal Day and Awards</a>, held last week in New York City, served as a hub for financial technology professionals to exchange ideas and growth strategies. Mathew Cashman, principal of investor education at the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) and instructor at the Options Industry Council (OIC) spoke about the tools and strategies Fintech firms can use to expand their reach and engage with broader audiences.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reaching Larger Audiences in the Digital Age</h3>

He noted that this approach creates an opportunity for companies to gain exposure and build meaningful relationships with users more cost-effectively than traditional in-person events.
These tools also benefit traders by providing resources to enhance their decision-making capabilities. Cashman highlighted how OCC's ecosystem includes charting platforms and advertising networks, which allow companies to integrate their offerings with tools that empower self-directed investors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insights on Building and Expanding Fintech Products</h3>
Cashman shared his expertise in launching and expanding Fintech products during the event. Reflecting on his years in the industry, he outlined practical steps for companies looking to strengthen their presence in the financial technology space. He discussed the importance of focusing on clear objectives, creating user-centric products, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
&#8220;Building and expanding products requires an understanding of what users need and how to deliver that effectively,&#8221; Cashman said. He also addressed the role of collaboration, encouraging attendees to connect with ethical partners who share similar values.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Collaboration Drives Industry Growth</h3>
Cashman emphasized how events like Benzinga's Fintech Deal Day create opportunities for meaningful collaborations. By fostering conversations between companies and potential partners, the event provides a platform for building relationships that benefit all parties involved.
&#8220;We focus on helping our partners connect with audiences in impactful and ethical ways,&#8221; he said. Cashman underscored the importance of transparency and compliance in creating long-term value for businesses and consumers.

Why Bitcoin Cash Is Falling Tuesday

Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BERY#NYSE">BERY</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. On Monday, the company disclosed an agreement to sell its Specialty Tapes business to Nautic Partners, LLC, for around $540 million, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42179476/berry-global-announces-agreement-to-sell-specialty-tapes-business-to-nautic-partners" rel="noreferrer noopener">subject to closing adjustments</a>.
The divestment aligns with its strategy of focusing on higher-growth, consumer-oriented markets. The company plans to use proceeds from the sale to reduce debt.
The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Including the cash received from its recent HHNF spin-off and the Tapes sale, Berry's pro forma net debt as of September 30, 2024, is expected to be approximately $5.9 billion, representing a 3.5x LTM net leverage ratio.
Berry CEO, Kevin Kwilinski, said, &#8220;Over the past year, Berry has undergone a significant transformation, completing the spin-off of our HHNF business, enhancing our product mix and optimizing our portfolio. The sale of Tapes further supports these efforts and the continued focus on our high-growth consumer portfolio.&#8221;
This month, Berry Global agreed to merge&nbsp;with Amcor plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMCR#NYSE">AMCR</a>) in an all-stock transaction, with the deal valuing Berry&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42069248/amcor-and-berry-seal-the-deal-73-59-per-share-merger-to-forge-packaging-powerhouse" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock at $73.59 per share</a>.
The companies anticipate a $650 million benefit from synergies by the end of year three, including $530 million in annual pre-tax cost savings, $60 million in financial savings, and $60 million from growth synergies.
Berry Global&nbsp;noted the sale of the Tapes business further reinforces the strategic rationale for the combination and has no material impact on the financial profile of the combined entity.
Price Action: BERY shares are down 1.47% at $70.50 at the last check Tuesday.
