- Class Action Filed: Pomerantz LLP has initiated a class action lawsuit against DeFi Technologies in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, representing investors who purchased securities between May 12, 2025, and November 14, 2025, highlighting significant legal risks facing the company.
- Revenue Guidance Cut: DeFi Technologies significantly lowered its revenue forecast for 2025 from $218.6 million to approximately $116.6 million in its Q3 report, reflecting delays in executing its DeFi Alpha arbitrage strategy, which could undermine investor confidence.
- Stock Price Volatility: Following the earnings report, DeFi Technologies' stock plummeted by 27.59% over two trading sessions, from $1.45 to $1.05, indicating market pessimism regarding the company's future prospects and potentially impacting its ability to raise funds.
- Executive Departure Impact: CEO Olivier Roussy Newton announced his resignation to take an advisory role, which may exacerbate concerns about the company's governance and strategic direction, further affecting investor trust.
