Beneficient Announces Agreement To Enhance Public Stockholder Value Through Liquidation Priority And $10M Tangible Book Value Boost; CEO And Founders Forgo $400M Equity Rights In Customer Relations Initiative To Benefit Stockholders And Customers

At the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech-awards"> Benzinga Fintech Deal Day &amp; Awards</a>, a panel of fintech leaders explored how modern technology and innovative strategies are transforming the way retail investors engage with markets. 
With representatives from Stocktwits, BullRush, SensaMarket, and Stakeholder Labs, the discussion focused on how gamification, personalized tools, and community-focused platforms are reshaping the financial landscape.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Rise Of Gamification In Finance</h3>
Trent Hoerr, CEO of BullRush, emphasized the power of gamification in retaining users and fostering vibrant communities. "Our platform is built entirely around gamified trading competitions," Hoerr explained. BullRush motivates users to participate daily by offering trivia challenges and leaderboards while encouraging knowledge-sharing and interaction. "It's like fantasy sports but for trading," he added, describing how competition and social banter keep users engaged.
Michael Bozzello, head of product and engineering at Stocktwits, echoed this sentiment, highlighting Stocktwits' plans to integrate similar features. "We're moving into gamification, focusing on social capital rather than paid entry," Bozzello said. He explained how top traders on Stocktwits naturally become creators and influencers within the community. "It's about enabling users to find connection and feel like they belong."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Leveraging AI To Simplify Complex Data</h3>
Abdul Zoheb, CEO of SensaMarket, discussed how artificial intelligence is streamlining complex financial tools for retail investors. "Gen Z has grown up with instant data and personalization," Zoheb said. "They want tools that feel intuitive, almost invisible, in their financial journey." SensaMarket offers pre-built strategies and visual profit-loss simulations, allowing users to understand trades quickly.
Zoheb stressed that simplifying data is crucial, especially for newcomers. "The financial world is flooded with information, and AI can help turn that into meaningful insights for users at all levels, from beginners to institutional traders."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Personalizing Engagement With Direct Investor Outreach</h3>
Katie Perry, marketing strategist at Stakeholder Labs, highlighted the growing importance of direct-to-investor communication. Perry explained how her team helps public companies understand shareholder behaviors and tailor their outreach. "Companies are realizing that retail investors are watching earnings calls like TV shows," she noted. Some are even spicing up these calls, as Perry shared: "Duolingo had its AI coach, Lily, read part of the call, and Palantir's CEO opened with a mic drop moment."
Perry also suggested fintech platforms look beyond their industry for inspiration. "Retail engagement doesn't look like it used to," she said. "People are checking stocks from their phones while at dinner. There's a lot to learn from consumer apps about content and user experience."
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Retail Investors Aren't Going Anywhere</h4>
Reflecting on the panel, Bozzello summed up the transformation brought about by the rise of retail investors: "Retail isn't going anywhere. They've proven they're impactful and meaningful." Platforms like Stocktwits, BullRush, and SensaMarket are shaping their tools to reflect this new reality, building communities and empowering investors to engage with confidence.
As retail participation continues to grow, the fintech industry is finding innovative ways to adapt, ensuring that investors at every level have the tools and support they need to succeed.

Can Trading Be Like 'Fantasy Sports'? BullRush CEO And Other Experts Address How Platforms Adapt To Change

The $55 million investment in crypto media platform The Block seeks to shape the future of the cryptocurrency industry, according to Forest Bai, co-founder of Foresight Ventures.
In an interview with Benzinga, Bai recounted how the deal discussions started with a need for a baby gift for The Block&#8217;s CEO, Larry Cermak, noting the unconventional beginning to what became a significant business transaction. 
The investment into The Block was aimed towards a better and more independent media within crypto. 
However, recent turmoil at a prominent crypto media outlet raises questions about the ability of media companies to maintain editorial independence amidst financial and competitive pressures.
The changes at CoinDesk came to light after three top editors were abruptly dismissed, including the editor-in-chief, following a controversy where Bullish leadership allegedly forced editors to remove a critical article about a crypto billionaire, <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/12/20/coindesk-ownership-bullish-layoff-editors-kevin-reynolds-justin-sun/">according</a> to a report by Fortune.
This move sparked immediate backlash and led to the resignation of Matt Murray, a former Wall Street Journal editor who had been appointed to lead an editorial committee at CoinDesk. 
This turmoil raises concerns about the editorial independence of media outlets within the crypto space, particularly those owned by financial entities. 
Bai stated that while shopping, the idea was brewing, but he remained unsure about the deal till the end.
According to Bai, the investment was driven by three core principles. "We believe in the enduring strategic value of media platforms," Bai said, adding that "neutral, objective, and professional content is critical for the industry's stability.&#8221;

He further stated that The Block&#8217;s &#8220;research-driven approach aligned with our performance-driven philosophy."
Bai further revealed that his strategic vision was cemented during meetings in Prague. 
&#8220;We spent four days in focused discussion, articulating a vision for the future of crypto media,&#8221; he recalled. 
The market&#8217;s volatility during those meetings reinforced, as he put it, the need for &#8220;a strong and unbiased voice in the industry.&#8221;
A critical juncture in securing the deal involved a trip to the Bahamas. "When Mike expressed reservations, I flew directly to the Bahamas,&#8221; Bai said, emphasizing that this direct approach was important as it led to quicker decision making.
According to Bai, the key to the deal's execution lies in its approach to cultural integration. "While English isn't my primary language, my focus was to ensure The Block&#8217;s efficient operation," Bai noted. The existing team was retained, a sign of trust, and he emphasized frequent meetings across continents to bring all teams together.
The inaugural &#8220;Emergence&#8221; conference in Prague marked the next stage. &#8220;I had absolute conviction in its success,&#8221; Bai noted, stating that it was backed by The Block&#8217;s reputation, networks, and resources.
Reflecting on the investment, Bai said it has, "secured a pivotal position in the crypto ecosystem&#8217;s information architecture," adding, &#8220;The Block&#8217;s trajectory validates the strategic deployment of this capital."
"The future belongs to those who can anticipate, adapt, and advance," Bai said, adding that this principle is what will guide The Block. 
He added that this investment &#8220;is about strategically shaping the narrative in crypto.&#8221;

First Trust Emerging Markets Equity Select ETF declares $0.1429 dividend

First Trust, one of the largest issuers of smart beta exchange-traded funds, last week introduced six ETFs based on the Nasdaq Riskalyze indexes.
Those benchmarks &ldquo;are designed to provide diversified, value-added exposure to broad equity market categories. The indexes seek to outperform their cap-weighted benchmarks, while maintaining low tracking error by neutralizing sector and/or country exposures versus the benchmark,&rdquo; <a href="http://www.ftportfolios.com/LoadContent/grhdycj3gy3y">according to Illinois-based First Trust.</a>
The six new ETFs from First Trust include four US-focused funds, an ex-U.S. developed markets product and an emerging markets ETF.
<h3>U.S. ETFs And A Dividend Fund</h3>
The US Equity Dividend Select ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RNDV#NASDAQ">RNDV</a>) is the new dividend offering from First Trust. That new ETF tracks the Nasdaq Riskalyze US Equity Dividend Select Index, which features stocks from the Nasdaq 500 Index <a href="http://www.ftportfolios.com/retail/etf/etfsummary.aspx?Ticker=RNDV">which have paid dividends</a> over the past year and yield more than the Nasdaq 500.
RNDV holds 124 stocks and allocates almost 36 percent of its combined weight to consumer discretionary and technology stocks.
The Large Cap US Equity Select ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RNLC#NASDAQ">RNLC</a>) is the large-cap U.S. ETF that follows the Nasdaq Riskalyze methodology. RNLC also draws from the Nasdaq 500 Index and also mandates that members firms paid a dividend over the past 12 months.
The new ETF holds 400 stocks, over 20 percent hail from the technology sector. Consumer discretionary and healthcare names combine for almost 29 percent of the new ETF&#39;s weight. The Mid Cap US Equity Select ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RNMC#NASDAQ">RNMC</a>) and the Small Cap US Equity Select ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RNSC#NASDAQ">RNSC</a>) are the mid-cap and small-cap counterparts to RNLC.
RNSC&#39;s universe is culled from the Nasdaq US 700 Small Cap Index while RNMC holdings come from the Nasdaq 600 Mid Cap Index.
<h3>International Fare</h3>
The Developed International Equity Select ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RNDM#NASDAQ">RNDM</a>) tracks the Nasdaq Riskalyze Developed International Equity Select Index. RNDM&#39;s 75 holdings are ranked by trailing 12-month volatility.
Japan and the U.K. combine for a third of the new ETF&#39;s geographic weight while Germany and France, the two largest Eurozone economies, combine for 18 percent. RNDM charges 0.65 percent per year, or $65 on a $10,000 investment.
The Emerging Markets Equity Select ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/RNEM#NASDAQ">RNEM</a>) also features a low volatility weighting scheme and assigns weights &ldquo;that are equal to the to the country and sector weights within the Nasdaq Emerging Markets Large Mid Cap Index. The index weighting methodology includes a maximum weight cap of 3 percent to prevent high concentrations among larger stock,&rdquo; according to First Trust.
To obtain exposure to Indian and Russian stocks, the ETF uses other ETFs. China and Taiwan combine for 34 percent of RNEM&#39;s roster.
