DeFi Technologies is facing intensified regulatory and investor scrutiny as a new wave of class-action lawsuits emerges. The lead concern centers on alleged misleading communications and concealed risks ahead of the January 30, 2026 deadline for lead plaintiffs. Law firm Pomerantz LLP filed an additional complaint against the company and certain executives, aligning with a growing list of filings alleging violations of federal securities laws. The suits focus on corporate statements issued between May and November 2025 and claim management omitted material adverse information about the company’s operations, including delays in implementing its DeFi arbitrage strategy, a core revenue driver.
Plaintiffs contend that undisclosed delays in executing the firm’s DeFi arbitrage strategy undermined its revenue model, and they argue that the competitive threat from rival digital-asset treasury firms was underappreciated. These issues, according to the suits, contributed to the company’s failure to meet its previously stated financial objectives.
Meanwhile, the timing of the legal action coincides with disappointing earnings from November 14, 2025, when DeFi Technologies reported revenue well below expectations. The company cut its 2025 revenue guidance from about $218.6 million to $116.6 million, sparking a roughly 27% drop in the share price. In subsequent trading, the stock slid further, and analysts have offered a range of views; one firm upgraded the stock to Hold, suggesting the recent weakness may already be priced in. With the January 30, 2026 deadline looming and the stock trading below the 50-day moving average of $1.05, investors should monitor for any signs of stabilization in the arbitrage strategy, as volatility could remain elevated.
