Allegations Against DeFi Technologies
The class action complaint asserts that DeFi Technologies and its executives failed to fulfill their obligations under federal securities laws by making misleading statements and not disclosing critical information. The allegations include:
- Delays in Execution: DeFi Technologies was reportedly facing delays in implementing its DeFi arbitrage strategy, which was vital for driving revenue.
- Understated Competition: The company allegedly downplayed the competition it faced from other digital asset trading (DAT) companies.
- Revenue Forecast Issues: As a result, the company was unlikely to meet its previously issued revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2025.
- Misleading Public Statements: Defendants’ public statements were characterized as materially false and misleading at all times.
Recent Financial Disclosures and Stock Performance

The statement indicated that “[DAT]s have absorbed or delayed a significant share of arbitrage opportunities over the past year.” Following this news, DEFT stock fell by $0.13 per share, equating to a 7.43% decline, closing at $1.62.
Subsequently, on November 14, 2025, DeFi Technologies disclosed significant financial results that included:
- A revenue decline of nearly 20%, substantially below market expectations.
- A downward revision of its 2025 revenue forecast, from $218.6 million to roughly $116.6 million.
- Explanations linking the revenue dip to delays in executing arbitrage opportunities and increased competition.
