Lawsuit Background: The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announced that investors in DeFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:DEFT) can join a class action lawsuit due to undisclosed delays in executing its key DeFi arbitrage strategy, which occurred between May and November 2025, leading to investor losses.
Competitive Risks: The complaint alleges that DeFi underestimated competition from other DAT companies, which not only hindered its ability to execute its arbitrage strategy but also raised concerns about the company's ability to meet its revenue guidance for fiscal year 2025.
Financial Impact: The failure to accurately disclose the challenges faced by the business has rendered DeFi's positive statements misleading, potentially leading to investor misconceptions about the company's financial health and adversely affecting its stock price.
Participation Opportunity: Investors are encouraged to contact the law firm before January 30, 2026, to participate in the lawsuit, highlighting concerns over corporate governance and transparency, which may impact future investor confidence.

Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer lowered the firm's price target on DeFi Technologies to $3 from $8 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. DeFi's sharply reduced 2025 revenue guidance and the surprise announcement that co-founder Olivier Roussy Newton would step down as CEO and executive chairman "might, at first glance, look like the hallmarks of a broken story," but such an assessment is not supported by the fundamentals, the analyst tells investors.
