DeFi Technologies Class Action Sets Jan. 30 Lead-Plaintiff Deadline After Guidance Cut

Plaintiffs say undisclosed delays in a core arbitrage strategy made 2025 guidance unrealistic, precipitating a sharp November selloff.

Overview

Investors have until January 30, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff, and eligibility to recover does not require serving in that role.
The case, Linkedto Partners LLC v. DeFi Technologies Inc., No. 25-cv-06637, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
The complaint alleges the company downplayed delays in its DeFi Alpha arbitrage strategy and the impact of growing digital-asset treasury competition, rendering prior guidance unattainable.
On November 13, 2025, the company reported a nearly 20% Q3 revenue decline and cut its 2025 forecast from $218.6 million to about $116.6 million, citing reduced arbitrage opportunities.
Following those disclosures, shares fell 27.59% over two sessions to close at $1.05 on November 17, as multiple firms including Levi & Korsinsky, Kahn Swick & Foti, and Faruqi & Faruqi solicited class members.
