A securities class action has been filed against DeFi Technologies Inc. (DEFT) on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired DeFi Technologies securities between May 12, 2025 through November 14, 2025. This case has been filed in the USDC – EDNY.
DeFi Technologies purports to be a technology and digital asset treasury (“DAT”) company that develops exchange traded products in Canada that synthetically track the value of a single decentralized finance (“DeFi”) protocol-that is, a set of standards and rules that govern a system of lending, borrowing, and trading a cryptocurrency-or a basket of DeFi protocols. The Company also offers asset management services, such as indirect exposure to underlying digital assets, digital asset indexes, or other DeFi instruments. As a DAT company, part of DeFi Technologies’ operations include accumulating cryptocurrency assets.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) DeFi Technologies was facing delays in executing its DeFi arbitrage strategy, which at all relevant times was a key revenue driver for the Company; (ii) DeFi Technologies had understated the extent of competition it faced from other DAT companies and the extent to which that competition would negatively impact its ability to execute its DeFi arbitrage strategy; (iii) as a result of the foregoing issues, the Company was unlikely to meet its previously issued revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2025; (iv) accordingly, Defendants had downplayed the true scope and severity of the negative impact that the foregoing issues were having on DeFi Technologies’ business and financial results; and (v) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
