Class Action Initiated: A shareholder has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased DeFi Technologies (NASDAQ: DEFT) securities between May 12 and November 14, 2025, alleging misrepresentations regarding the company's revenue guidance for fiscal year 2025, which may have led to investor losses.
Legal Timeline: Investors wishing to serve as lead plaintiffs must file necessary documents by January 30, 2026, indicating their representative status in the litigation, while those taking no action will be considered absent class members, potentially limiting their recovery options.
Law Firm Credentials: Bernstein Liebhard LLP has recovered over $3.5 billion for clients since 1993 and has been recognized multiple times in The National Law Journal’s “Plaintiffs’ Hot List” for its success in litigating hundreds of class actions, underscoring its expertise in securities litigation.
Transparent Fee Structure: All representation in this lawsuit is on a contingency fee basis, meaning shareholders incur no fees or expenses, thereby reducing the financial burden on affected investors and encouraging broader participation in the class action.

Reason
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.
