- Lawsuit Notification: The Gross Law Firm has issued a notice to shareholders of DeFi Technologies (NASDAQ: DEFT), encouraging those who purchased shares during the class period from May 12, 2025, to November 14, 2025, to contact them for potential lead plaintiff appointment, indicating significant legal risks for the company.
- Allegations of Misleading Statements: The lawsuit alleges that DeFi Technologies failed to disclose delays in executing its DeFi arbitrage strategy during the class period, which has led to the company being unlikely to meet its previously issued revenue guidance for fiscal year 2025, potentially impacting shareholder interests.
- Competitive Risks: The company is accused of underestimating the extent of competition from other digital asset treasury companies, which negatively affects its ability to execute its arbitrage strategy, further exacerbating financial risks.
- Shareholder Action Steps: Shareholders must register by January 30, 2026, to participate in the class action, and upon registration, they will receive status updates throughout the lifecycle of the case, ensuring their rights are protected.

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.
