Benzinga and WNSTN Expand Collaboration to Bring a Joint AI Solution to Brokerages

Published

on

After over a year of Benzinga AI running inside Benzinga Pro, the two companies are taking a combined offering to market, pairing WNSTN’s compliant AI layer with Benzinga’s real-time and historical market data

DETROIT, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Benzinga, a leading provider of real-time financial news, market data, and financial APIs, today announced an expanded relationship with WNSTN, an AI personalization and engagement platform built for financial institutions. The two companies will go to market together with a combined solution for brokerages, with WNSTN providing the AI intelligence layer and Benzinga providing the real-time and historical data that grounds it.

The expansion builds on a year of collaboration inside Benzinga’s products. Since launching across Benzinga Pro in 2025, Benzinga AI, powered by WNSTN, has delivered natural language chat, news summarization, and market analysis to Benzinga’s base of active traders and financial professionals. The product has generated strong user adoption, including 25x increase in engagement, giving both companies the confidence to take the technology beyond Benzinga and make it available to a broader set of financial platforms.

For brokerages, the offering is designed to shorten the distance between wanting AI in the client experience and being able to defend it internally. WNSTN supplies multiple touchpoints that sit on top of data, including a conversational layer, portfolio-aware personalization, always-on market monitoring, actionable investing ideas, tailored summaries and a compliance agent trained on global regulatory frameworks including FINRA, SEC, CySEC, and MiFID II, with every output routed through that layer before it reaches an end user. Benzinga supplies the underlying market intelligence, including real-time equities news, analyst ratings, earnings and corporate events, SEC filings, and Why Is It Moving explanations of price action, alongside historical archives for retrieval and context.

Data quality has become a practical constraint on financial AI. Models answer confidently regardless of whether the information underneath them is current, correctly attributed, or tagged to the right security, and in a brokerage environment those failures carry regulatory weight. Structured, timestamped, entity-tagged market data reduces that exposure at the retrieval layer, before any guardrail is asked to catch it.

“Most of the failure modes in financial AI trace back to the retrieval layer rather than the model itself,” said Dave Maher, CEO of Benzinga. “If the data arrives late, or without clean timestamps and entity tagging, the output is confidently wrong, and in this industry that gets expensive. Running Benzinga AI on our own feeds inside Benzinga Pro for the past year gave us a live test of that, and answer quality tracked directly to the structure of the data underneath it. WNSTN built the orchestration and compliance layer that makes that structure useful inside a brokerage, so bringing the two to market together was the logical next step.”

The announcement reflects a broader shift in how Benzinga licenses its data. Over the past year the company has expanded its API infrastructure for large language model and retrieval-augmented generation workloads, and established licensing frameworks specifically for AI use cases rather than treating them as exceptions to legacy redistribution terms. Benzinga now licenses content and data to more than 400 clients across 30 countries, a growing share of which are building AI-native products.

“Brokers choose WNSTN because we turn complex market data into something personally relevant, understandable, and actionable for their clients,” said Jamie Rakover, Co-Founder and CRO of WNSTN. “WNSTN doesn’t just summarize information, it digests it, puts it in context, and tailors how it’s delivered to each user. It’s about giving people the right information, at the right time, in the way they can understand it best. That’s how we turn data into action within the broker’s platform, with compliance built into the experience. Benzinga’s real-time and historical coverage strengthens that capability, while its use of WNSTN in Benzinga Pro demonstrates our technology in production with a demanding audience of active traders.”

The impact is measurable. WNSTN’s analysis of one year of data with a U.S. broker-dealer client found that investors who engaged with its AI executed 2.3 times more trades than those who did not, with roughly half of users who interacted with WNSTN chat placing a trade within 24 hours of interacting with the platform.

The combined offering is available to brokerages and financial platforms today, with white-label deployment and API integration options.

Taoping Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

Published

on

By

TIANJIN, China, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Taoping Inc. (Nasdaq: TAOP, the “Company”), a provider of cloud-based smart city, Internet of Things and intelligent infrastructure solutions, today announced that on October 13, 2026, it received a written notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that it is currently not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days from August 31, 2026 through October 12, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of the Notification Letter.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 12, 2027 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares is at least US$1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. However, if at any time during the Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares is US$0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will issue a delisting determination with respect to the Company’s ordinary shares pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii). If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to April 12, 2027 in order to regain compliance.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by April 12, 2027, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, to Nasdaq. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s ordinary shares, at which point the Company will have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker “TAOP”.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
