Is Draganfly's Army Partnership a Game-Changer for Investors?
On Sept. 30, the market delivered a powerful and unambiguous verdict on Draganfly Inc. NASDAQ: DPRO. Shares of the drone technology company surged over 17%, driven by an unprecedented wave of investor interest that saw trading volume skyrocket to more than 58 million shares, a staggering figure compared to its daily average of roughly 1.9 million shares. This dramatic market action was ignited by a single, transformative catalyst: the announcement of a multifaceted contract with the U.S. Army.
For investors scrutinizing the company, this event signifies far more than a short-term price spike; it represents the culmination of a focused strategic pivot, potentially launching Draganfly into a new and far more stable phase of growth.
Get Draganfly alerts:
The Army Partnership: A Pillar of Growth
The agreement with the U.S. Army is significant not just for its prestige, but for its intelligent and deeply integrated structure. This contract provides Draganfly with more than a one-time hardware sale. It is a foundational partnership designed for long-term operational readiness, a distinction that fundamentally changes how investors should assess the company's future revenue potential and competitive standing.
More Than Drones: Strategic Depth
The contract's design reveals a forward-thinking approach that creates a durable and defensible relationship. It is built on three core pillars:
Advanced Technology: Draganfly will supply its high-performance Flex FPV (First Person View) drone systems. FPV technology, which gives operators a real-time, in-the-field view from the drone's perspective, has proven to be a game-changer for reconnaissance and tactical missions in modern conflicts, making it a high-priority capability for the U.S. military.
Embedded Manufacturing: As a key strategic differentiator, Draganfly will help establish on-site drone manufacturing within U.S. military facilities overseas. This innovative model is a logistical masterstroke, shortening critical supply chains, accelerating deployment, and embedding Draganfly's processes and technology directly into Army operations.
Training and Support: The company will also provide comprehensive flight and manufacturing training to Army personnel. This creates an ongoing service and support component, ensuring the U.S. Army can sustain its own drone operations and cementing Draganfly's role as an indispensable partner, not just a vendor.
From Plan to Partnership: A Proven Strategy
This landmark contract was the direct result of a series of deliberate strategic moves that validated Draganfly's technology and aligned the company with the stringent requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD). The company’s successful technology demonstrations at the T-REX 24-2 military exercise in September served as a crucial proof of concept.
The win was further enabled by Draganfly's proactive expansion of its U.S. manufacturing footprint and its steadfast focus on building a secure, NDAA-compliant supply chain, a non-negotiable prerequisite for sensitive defense contracts that immediately disqualifies many foreign-based competitors. The contract is the culmination of a clear pattern of execution by management, building on other key partnerships in the defense and humanitarian sectors, such as Draganfly’s work with SafeLane Global on demining drones.
Fuel for Growth: A Strong Balance Sheet
A major contract win can strain a smaller company's resources, but Draganfly's financial planning appears to have positioned it well to execute. While the company is still in its growth phase, it reported a net loss of $4.7 million in its second quarter 2025 earnings report; however, its balance sheet shows considerable strength.
At the end of Q2 2025, Draganfly's cash balance exceeded $22.5 million. This was further strengthened by a $25 million registered direct offering that was finalized in July. This capital base is critical, providing the necessary fuel to scale production and manage the complex logistics of the U.S. Army contract without the immediate need for dilutive financing. It allows the company to confidently fund its operations and bridge the gap toward what could be a significant and sustained increase in revenue.
A New Baseline for Draganfly’s Valuation

The partnership with the U.S. Army fundamentally alters the investment narrative for Draganfly. This contract serves as a powerful validation, effectively de-risking the company's technology and business model in the eyes of the market. It demonstrates a clear ability to move beyond smaller-scale programs and secure a cornerstone contract with one of the world's most demanding clients.
Consequently, prior analyst valuations and price targets, which currently form the consensus average of $6.50, are now based on outdated information. These figures were established before this transformative agreement was announced and are likely subject to upward revisions as financial models are updated to reflect this new reality.
For investors, the conversation has shifted. The question is no longer whether Draganfly can win in the competitive defense sector but rather how effectively it can execute this foundational contract and leverage it to secure future growth. This U.S. Army deal establishes a new, and significantly higher, baseline for Draganfly’s trajectory and potential valuation.

Lifeway is Evaluating Capital Allocation Alternatives to Maximize Value
Danone Will Not Vote or Deliver Consent in Favor of Proposals Contained in the Consent Solicitation
, /PRNewswire/ -- Lifeway Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWAY) ("Lifeway" or "the Company"), a leading U.S. supplier of kefir and fermented probiotic products that support the microbiome, today announced a Cooperation Agreement with Danone North America PBC ("Danone"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Cooperation Agreement, Lifeway agreed to carry out an orderly refreshment of its board of directors (the "Board"), and the pending litigation pertaining to Danone's Stockholders' Agreement with Lifeway will be stayed. Additionally, Danone has agreed not to act by written consent in favor of proposals contained in the ongoing consent solicitation filed by Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky, among others, and to support the Board's recommended director candidates at the 2025 and 2026 annual meetings.
As part of the Cooperation Agreement:
Refreshment of the Lifeway Board – Lifeway agreed that, by October 30, 2025, Lifeway's Board will appoint three directors who are, and by November 14, 2025 Lifeway's Board will appoint one more director who is, independent under Nasdaq rules, selected by the Board's Strategic Review Committee (which is solely comprised of Lifeway independent directors) and unaffiliated with Danone, Ed and Lucy Smolyansky, Lifeway and any current Lifeway officer or director, subject to Danone's good faith review and approval (not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In addition, to promote good governance practices while preserving the benefits of board continuity through an orderly board refreshment process, Pol Sikar will step down from the Board on or before the Company's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, and Jay Scher and another current member of the Board will step down from the Board on or before the Company's 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. Pol and Jay are the longest serving members of the Board, and the Company thanks them for their service and contributions.
Chair – Lifeway agreed that, by the earlier of October 30, 2025 and the date on which the third new independent director is appointed to the Board, the Board will separate the Chair and CEO roles, consistent with good corporate governance practices, and appoint an independent director to serve as Chair of the Board. Julie Smolyansky will continue in her role as CEO of the Company.
Stay of Litigation – Lifeway and Danone agreed to jointly stay pending litigation.
Stockholders' Agreement – Lifeway agreed to comply with the Stockholders' Agreement without contesting or admitting its validity, and Danone has agreed to waive certain rights under the Stockholders' Agreement, including its right to appoint a member of the Board. In addition, Danone has agreed to waive and not to enforce any of its rights under the Stockholders' Agreement (except for books and records rights), if Danone and its affiliates no longer own at least 5% of the number of shares of Lifeway common stock currently outstanding.
No Support for Certain Future Solicitations – In the event that at any time prior to June 30, 2026, Edward or Ludmila Smolyansky call a special meeting of shareholders or commence a consent solicitation, Danone will vote or deliver a consent in accordance with the Board's recommendations with respect to all matters relating to Board composition and, with certain exceptions, Lifeway's organizational documents.
Issuance of equity-based compensation – Lifeway's Compensation Committee will be permitted to issue equity-based compensation to members of Lifeway's management other than Julie Smolyansky and her relatives, enabling Lifeway to attract and retain talent consistent with other public companies.
Shelf Registration Cooperation – Lifeway has agreed to file a shelf registration statement by October 30, 2025, which would facilitate the public registration of Danone's shares for sale, if Danone decides to sell shares of Lifeway common stock. Danone has agreed that, if it determines to sell its stake in Lifeway, it will consider in good faith a potential marketed offering of all or a portion of its shares of Lifeway's Common Stock.
In addition, Lifeway is in the process of evaluating capital allocation alternatives in light of these changes in order to maximize value for shareholders.
Julie Smolyansky, Lifeway's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Lifeway has always been about resilience, innovation, and community. This agreement allows us to move forward with clarity and stability, while continuing to focus on what matters most: bringing probiotic-rich foods to more families and creating value for our shareholders. We are pleased to have this agreement in place as we enter this next chapter of growth."
The full Cooperation Agreement will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Evercore Group LLC is serving as financial advisor, and Sidley Austin LLP is serving as legal advisor, to Lifeway.

ROSEN, A RANKED AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Charter Communications, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – CHTR
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities (as well as purchasers of call options or sellers of put options) of Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) between July 26, 2024 and July 24, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Charter Communications securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Charter Communications class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44682 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 13, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the impact of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”) end was a material event the Company was unable to manage or promptly move beyond; (2) the ACP end was having a sustaining impact on Internet customer declines and revenue; (3) neither was Charter Communications executing broader operations in a way that would compensate for, or overcome the impact, of the ACP ending; (4) the Internet customer declines and broader failure of Charter’s execution strategy created much greater risks on business plans and earnings growth than reported; (5) accordingly, Charter Communications had no reasonable basis to state that it was successfully executing operations, managing causes of Internet customer declines, or provide overly optimistic statements about the long term trajectory of the Company and EBITDA growth; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants materially misled with, and/or lacked a reasonable basis for, their positive statements about Charter Communications’ business, operations, outlook during the Class Period. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Charter Communications class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44682 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

, /PRNewswire/ -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against Lantheus Holdings, Inc. ("Lantheus" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: LNTH) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investors who purchased the Company's securities between February 26, 2025, and August 5, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), are encouraged to contact the firm before November 10, 2025.

This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2029 Unsecured Notes.
The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Oatly Announces Issuance of SEK 1,700 million Nordic Bonds, Entry into SEK 750 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Intention to Complete Prepayment of Term Loan B, as well as Repurchase and Cancellation of Certain Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028
MALMÖ, Sweden, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oatly Group AB (Nasdaq: OTLY) (“Oatly” or the “Company”) announced today that it has issued SEK denominated senior secured floating rate bonds in a total amount of SEK 1,700 million (the “Nordic Bonds”), entered into a new sustainability-linked SEK 750 million super senior revolving credit facility agreement and intends to complete its repurchase of certain U.S. Notes (as defined below).
Marie-José David, Oatly’s CFO, commented, “These transactions represent yet another step forward in our company’s transformation journey. They strengthen our financial foundation by reducing our total outstanding debt, lowering costs related to the remaining outstanding debt, improving the terms of our capital structure, as well as reducing the dilution impact of our convertible notes. We have done all this while not raising additional financing and our business plan remaining fully funded.”
The proceeds from the Nordic Bonds will initially fund into an escrow account and are intended to be released to the Company on or around October 3, 2025, subject to customary conditions. The new senior revolving credit facility is intended to become effective thereafter, subject to prepayment in full of the group’s existing $130 million term loan B credit facility (the “TLB”) and customary conditions. As previously communicated, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Nordic Bonds to prepay the TLB in full, to repurchase and cancel certain of its U.S. Notes as further described below and to pay related transaction costs.
The proceeds from the Nordic Bonds will also be used to complete the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Repurchase Agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) which the Company entered into on September 9, 2025, with certain accredited investors (the “Selling Noteholders”) that are holders of the Company’s 9.25% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (CUSIP No. 67421J AC2) (the “U.S. Notes”). The transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreements will result in U.S. Notes sold by the Selling Noteholders being cancelled and no longer outstanding, and are expected to close on or around October 3, 2025, following release of the Nordic Bonds proceeds from escrow and prepayment of the TLB in full and subject to customary conditions.
Additional information regarding the foregoing transactions may be found in a Form 6-K that will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. There can be no assurances that the transactions will be completed as described herein or at all.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any express or implied statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding our financial outlook for 2025, profitability improvement, profitable growth in 2025, long-term growth strategy, expected capital expenditures, anticipated returns on our investments, anticipated supply chain performance, anticipated impact of our improvement plans, anticipated impact of our decision to discontinue construction of certain production facilities, plans to achieve profitable growth and anticipated cost savings and efficiencies as well as statements that include the words “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “project”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “may”, “should”, “anticipate”, “will”, “aim”, “potential”, “continue”, “is/are likely to” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature. Forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, without limitation: our ability to consummate the transactions discussed herein on terms favorable to us or at all, our history of losses and how we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability, including due to elevated inflation and increased costs for transportation, energy and materials; how our future business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by reduced or limited availability of oats and other raw materials and ingredients, which meet our quality standards, that our limited number of suppliers are able to sell us; how a failure to obtain necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product manufacturing and development and other operations; those concerning our cash and cash equivalents maintained at financial institutions, often in balances that exceed federally insured limits; any damage or disruption at our production facilities, which manufacture the primary components of all our products; harm to our brand or reputation due to real or perceived quality, food safety, nutrition or sustainability issues with our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations; food safety and food-borne illness incidents or other safety concerns that have led to product recalls and how such events may in the future materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations by exposing us to lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions, increasing our operating costs and reducing demand for our product offerings; how a failure by our suppliers of raw materials or co-manufacturers to comply with food safety, environmental or other laws and regulations, or with the specifications and requirements of our products, may disrupt our supply of products and adversely affect our business; we may not be able to compete successfully in our highly competitive markets; risks from consolidation of customers or the loss of a significant customer; a reduction in sales of our oatmilk varieties, which contribute a significant portion of our revenue, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; relying heavily on our co-manufacturing partners; our strategic partnerships with co-manufacturers may not be successful, which could adversely affect our operations and manufacturing strategy; failure by our logistics providers to deliver our products on time, or at all, could result in lost sales; that we may not successfully ramp up operations at any of our facilities, or these facilities may not operate in accordance with our expectations; a failure to effectively expand our processing, manufacturing and production capacity through existing facilities, or a failure to find acceptable co-manufacturing or co-manufacturing partners to help us expand, as we continue to grow and scale our business to a steady operating level; failure to develop and maintain our brand; failure to develop or introduce new products or successfully improve existing products may adversely affect our ability to continue to grow; a failure to cost-effectively acquire new customers and consumers or retain our existing customers and consumers, or a failure to derive revenue from our existing customers consistent with our historical performance; consumer preferences for our products are difficult to predict and may change, and, if we are unable to respond quickly to new trends, our business may be adversely affected; a failure to manage our future growth effectively; impairment charges for long-lived assets and other exit costs in connection with our production facilities, and how we may need to recognize further costs in the future; sustainability risks (including environmental, climate change, uncertainty about future related mandatory disclosure requirements, and broader corporate social responsibility matters), which may materially adversely affect our business as a result of lawsuits, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, complaints concerning our disclosures, impacts on our operations and supply chain (particularly in connection with the physical impacts of climate change), and impacts on our brand and reputation; reliance on information technology systems and how any inadequacy, failure or interruption of, or cybersecurity incidents affecting, those systems may harm our reputation and ability to effectively operate our business; how cybersecurity incidents or other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers; risks associated with how our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us; difficulties as we expand our operations into countries in which we have no prior operating experience; risks associated with the international nature of our business; the successful execution of the strategic review of the Company’s Greater China operations, the outcome of the strategic review and the market reaction thereto; how our operations in China could expose us to substantial business, regulatory, political, financial and economic risks; our strategic reset in Asia may not be successful; if we fail to comply with trade compliance and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the United States, the EU and other applicable international jurisdictions, it could materially adversely affect our reputation and results of operations; packaging costs are volatile and may rise significantly; how fluctuations in our results of operations may impact, and may have a disproportionate effect on, our overall financial condition and results of operations; how litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities or costs and have a negative impact on our reputation or business; our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all; failure to retain our senior management or to attract, train and retain qualified employees; if we cannot maintain our company culture or focus on our mission as we grow, our success and our business and competitive position may be harmed; our insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims or we may be unable to find insurance with sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost; disruptions in the worldwide economy; macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation, interest rates and supply chain constraints; global conflicts, other effects of ongoing wars and conflicts, and increasing geopolitical tensions and changes to international trade policies, treaties and tariffs, including as a result of the emergence of a trade war; the risk that legal claims, government investigations or other regulatory enforcement actions could subject us to civil and criminal penalties; how our operations are subject to U.S., EU, China and other laws and regulations, and there is no assurance that we will be in compliance with all regulations; changes in existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations, may increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

GIG HARBOR, Wash., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT) subsidiary Washington Water Service (Washington Water) has filed a request with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to increase water rates to recover $14.9 million in costs it has incurred to fund the improvement and maintenance of its local water systems as well as increased expenses over the last two years.
Some of the major investments made in Washington Water’s service areas include:
Installing 1,000 feet of water main in the Minterbrook system; 700 feet of main in Sunshine Acres; 2,500 feet of main in the Ranch Acres Shores system; 2,000 feet of main in Cedar Grove; 1,000 feet of main in Evergreen Shores; and 7,000 feet of main in the Southwood system to improve reliability and fire protection, and reduce potential leaks.Installing treatment facilities to remove lead and copper in the Heritage Row system, arsenic in the Quistorff system, and iron and manganese in the Southwood system.Conducting booster pump station upgrades in the Rosario, Cedar Crest, Artondale, Southwood, Olympic Mall, and Driftwood Valley systems.Deploying Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition remote system monitoring in the Sunshine Acres, Rosario, Mirrormont, Palmer Lake, and Southwood systems.Installing a new booster pumping facility to increase reliability and capacity in the Lost Creek zone of the Southwood system. Additionally, the proposed water rate increase accounts for costs incurred due to higher operating expenses, such as cost increases in materials and equipment; depreciation expense due to the addition of newly installed facilities; and increased labor costs. It also accounts for costs incurred for testing for the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in accordance with new federal regulations, and other efforts related to PFAS regulatory compliance.
“We take our responsibility to provide our Washington Water customers safe, clean, reliable water at affordable rates seriously, and the upgrades we have made over the past two years are critical to continuing to deliver on this commitment,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Chairman and CEO. “At the same time, we work diligently to control expenses and keep water service affordable in the face of increasingly stringent federal and state water quality standards and rising costs.”
If approved as filed, new rates could become effective as early as Nov. 15, 2025.

Diversified Will Retain UK Listing on the International Secondary Listing Category
Move Expected to Enhance Trading Liquidity, Increase Visibility with Investors, and Provide Strategic Capital Markets Benefits to Accelerate Growth
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Energy Company PLC (the “Company”) (LSE:DEC, NYSE:DEC) announced today that its Board of Directors, having evaluated the Company’s optimal public company listing venue, intends to move the Company’s primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) while retaining a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”).
Today, the Company is substantially a US business, reporting in US dollars, with all the Company’s operating profit derived from its US operations, which is also the sole growth market for the business. The Company’s executive management team and operational headquarters are based in the US, all of its employees reside in the US and all its assets are located in the US.
Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, over 65% of the Company’s outstanding shares were held by US resident investors. The Company will start filing customary SEC financial statements and periodic reports as a US domestic filer with its year-end 2025 financial results.
The Board has been evaluating the optimal primary listing venue for the Company in the context of its business strategy for the benefit of all its stakeholders. In December 2023, the Company undertook an additional listing of its shares on the NYSE to complement its existing LSE listing. At this time, the Board has concluded that the US market is the natural long-term primary listing venue for the Company and that moving to a US primary listing, while retaining a secondary UK listing on the ESICC Category, is in the best interests of its shareholders.
In arriving at this conclusion, the Board considered several factors and potential benefits, including:
alignment of the primary listing venue with the Company’s business activity, leadership team, and employee baseincreased overall liquidity in the Company’s shares, given access to deeper US capital marketsincreased exposure to US investors through a primary US listing, including additional access to passive investment pools of capitalexpanded Company profile and access to high-quality equity investorssimplified share ownership for the wider employee base of the Company and expanded access to the recruitment and retention of top US talentoptimized positioning of the Company for inclusion in premier US equity indices and Exchange Traded Fundsretention of a secondary listing on the LSE to facilitate trading liquidity for non-US shareholder base The proposed venue change will be implemented by way of a UK scheme of arrangement which will require a formal vote by shareholders of the Company at a general meeting (“General Meeting”) to be approved by a majority in number of the registered shareholders voting in person or by proxy, representing 75% in value of the shares voted. It is currently expected that a shareholder circular containing details of the proposals will be published and that the General Meeting will take place in the coming weeks. Subject to shareholders voting in favor of the proposals at the General Meeting, the Board expects that the scheme of arrangement will take effect during the fourth quarter of 2025, after which the shares are expected to trade on the NYSE and on the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the FCA (the “ESICC Category”) and the Main Market of the LSE.
Further announcements will be made in due course as the process advances.

Novartis receives FDA approval for Rhapsido® (remibrutinib), the only oral, targeted BTKi treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU)
Rhapsido helps to inhibit release of histamine and proinflammatory mediators by targeting BTK, offering unique approach to CSU treatment1Well-controlled disease observed as fast as two weeks, with demonstrated safety profile that requires no lab monitoring1 1.7 million people in US live with CSU; more than half remain symptomatic despite increasing doses of antihistamines2,3Remibrutinib also in clinical development for chronic inducible urticaria, food allergy, and hidradenitis suppurativa, expanding Novartis Immunology portfolio
Basel, September 30, 2025 – Novartis announced today that Rhapsido® (remibrutinib) received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as an oral treatment for adult patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment. Rhapsido is a pill taken twice daily and does not require injections or lab monitoring. It is the first FDA-approved Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) for CSU. Rhapsido helps to inhibit the release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators by targeting BTK, offering a unique approach to CSU treatment.1
“CSU is a serious disease that can cause debilitating symptoms and unpredictable flares. It’s difficult to diagnose and manage,” said Mark Lebwohl, MD, Dean for Clinical Therapeutics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and member of the steering committee for the remibrutinib REMIX Phase III clinical trial program. “Remibrutinib represents a new way of treating CSU. By blocking the activity of BTK, remibrutinib stops a key pathway of the immune response in CSU. This is an exciting new option that has the potential to help a broad range of patients get fast relief.”
CSU is a mast cell-driven condition thought to be caused by immune dysregulation. In people with CSU, the immune system can become activated through allergic (IgE) or autoimmune (IgG) pathways.4 This causes certain immune cells—mast cells and basophils—to activate the BTK protein. While not fully understood, it is believed that once activated, BTK leads to the release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators that may cause the red, swollen, and itchy hives commonly seen in CSU.5,6
CSU symptoms are unpredictable, recurring for six weeks or more without an identified cause.7 Diagnosis can take up to 24 months.8 Many CSU patients say their symptoms negatively impact their sleep, work, and mental health.9,10,11 Antihistamines are the first-line treatment, but over half of patients still have symptoms, even at higher doses.2 Injectable treatments exist for those who don't respond to antihistamines, yet fewer than 20% of eligible patients receive them.12
“The approval of remibrutinib is an important development in CSU care. It quickly reduces symptoms, offering patients control of the hives and itching that they experience on a daily basis,” said Giselle Mosnaim, MD, MS, an Allergist and Immunologist from Endeavor Health, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and REMIX trial investigator. “This is significant because it expands beyond existing injectable treatments and gives patients an oral option that can easily be incorporated into their daily lives.”
“Many CSU patients feel misunderstood and settle for treatments that don’t fully meet their needs,” said Lynda Mitchell, CEO of Allergy & Asthma Network. “We support new treatment options that empower patients to choose what works best for them. This convenient new oral therapy offers a promising new way to manage CSU and potentially improve daily life for those living with this challenging condition.”
Clinical data supporting approval
The FDA approval of Rhapsido in CSU is based on results from the Phase III REMIX-1 (NCT05030311) and REMIX-2 (NCT05032157) clinical trials in patients who remained symptomatic on second-generation H1 antihistamines. Rhapsido demonstrated superiority in change from baseline versus placebo in itch (ISS7), hives (HSS7), and weekly urticaria activity (UAS7) at Week 12.13 Significantly more patients treated with Rhapsido versus placebo achieved well-controlled disease (UAS7≤6) as early as Week 2 and at Week 12, and about one-third of patients achieved complete absence of itch and hives at Week 12.13 Rhapsido has a demonstrated safety profile that requires no lab monitoring.13 The most common adverse events (incidence ≥3%) were nasal congestion, sore throat, and runny nose (nasopharyngitis), bleeding, headache, nausea, and abdominal pain.13
Novartis has completed regulatory submissions for Rhapsido for the treatment of CSU across many countries, including in the European Union, Japan, and China, with priority review granted in China.
Transforming care in Immunology
“This approval of Rhapsido as the first and only BTK inhibitor in CSU is an important milestone in our journey to reshape care for overlooked immune-related conditions and offer more patients the potential to find fast relief,” said Victor Bultó, President, US, Novartis. “Building on our legacy in advancing the treatment of allergic, dermatologic, and rheumatologic conditions, we are deeply committed to further investing in innovative, patient-focused therapies across immunology.”
Discovered and developed by Novartis to target the BTK pathway as a driver of inflammation, remibrutinib is being investigated in ongoing clinical trials across a variety of immune-related conditions, including chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and food allergy.

Chainlink announces a partnership with Swift-USB, enabling tokenized fund control via ISO 20022 messages
Chainlink announced today at SIBOS 2025 a technological solution that will give financial institutions worldwide control over digital asset operations using SWIFT messaging. Swift messages, CRE, and banks will access blockchains through the same Swift infrastructure they have relied upon for decades.
According to Chainlink, financial institutions will be able to handle tokenized fund subscription and redemption processes using Swift via ISO 20022 messages from their existing systems. The innovation powered by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) will eliminate a technical barrier to the widespread adoption of digital assets in the international capital market.

Chainlink announced today a landmark technical solution enabling financial institutions worldwide to manage digital asset workflows directly from their existing systems using Swift messaging and CRE, in collaboration with UBS ↓ pic.twitter.com/X6BcUKEjTi
— Chainlink Everything (@SmartContract) September 30, 2025
Chainlink stated that it has developed a technical process enabling banks to interact with tokenized investment funds through SWIFT. The blockchain data provider noted that the first use case involved a technical and operational pilot with UBS Tokenize, building on prior work with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink co-founder, stated that the solution utilizes CRE, in conjunction with the Swift financial messaging network, to trigger subscription and redemption workflows for tokenized funds. He added that institutions will not replace their legacy systems or build new identity and key management layers. Nazarov stressed that CRE receives ISO 20022-compliant SWIFT messages, which in turn activate smart contract events in the Oracle protocol Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard.
“I’m very excited about this landmark innovation we’ve achieved by leveraging Swift’s standards and UBS’ tokenized asset design.”
–Sergey Nazarov– Chainlink co-founder.
Nazarov emphasized that UBS demonstrates how smart contract-based technologies enable financial institutions to explore enhanced composability of product lifecycles.
Chainlink stated that the ability to interact with complex on-chain workflows through Swift messaging is a groundbreaking development, reducing operational friction and delivering efficiency gains through programmable infrastructure. The Decentralized Oracle Network has revealed that it is positioning the integration as a “plug-and-play” unlock for the $100 trillion-plus global financial industry.
According to the blockchain middleware provider, Swift’s financial messaging services link more than 11,000 institutions in more than 200 countries and serve as the backbone of the infrastructure that facilitates trillions of dollars’ worth of cross-border payments.
Chainlink expands Blockchain pilots with Swift and global banks
Chainlink announced on Monday at SIBOS that it had completed the second phase of a blockchain and AI-driven pilot for processing corporate actions. The Blockchain middleware provider added that the initiative coordinated multiple large language models, including OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude, to generate structured, ISO 20022-compliant records transmitted through Swift’s network. Major players, including DTCC, Euroclear, and banks such as UBS, DBS, and BNP Paribas, backed the effort.
At SIBOS 2016, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazaro described an automated, innovative contract-based solution for the post-trade securities lifecycle, specifically ISO 20022-compliant bond instruments.
The announcement also revealed that, as part of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, UBS Asset Management, and the decentralized oracle network successfully demonstrated how the combination of fintech infrastructure enabled automated fund management operations and transfer agency processes.
Visa highlighted in a report released in June 2025 that ANZ Bank and Chainlink are participants in phase 2 of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s e-HKD pilot program. The report emphasized that participants employed a Payment-vs-Payment (PvP) settlement workflow utilizing an Australian Stablecoin (A$DC) on ANZ’s DAS Chain on Ethereum Sepolia. The PVP used the Web3 infrastructure provider for cross-chain connectivity and compliance verification.
According to the Visa report, the next phase will demonstrate a Delivery vs. Payment (DvP) workflow involving an Australian investor purchasing a tokenized asset in Hong Kong. The phase will leverage cross-chain connectivity, Nav pricing, and the Oracle protocol’s Digital Transfer Agent technical standards.
Jonathan Ehrenfeld Solé, Head of Strategy at Swift, stated that the solution leveraged Oracle infrastructure to feed external interest rate data into a smart contract.
“That was maybe the first steps of this sort of love story between Swift and Chainlink, which continues today.”

At Sibos 2024, Sergey Nazarov introduced a pre-production solution that enabled banks to connect to blockchains using the Swift messaging standards and infrastructure already used in traditional financial systems.

Dogecoin Is Falling Today. Should You Buy the Dip?
The meme coin is falling along with most of the crypto market.
Dogecoin (DOGE -1.04%) fell on Tuesday, down 4.2% as of 1:12 p.m. ET, as measured from 4 p.m. on Monday. The move comes as the S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.09%) and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -0.01%) lost 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively.
The meme coin is falling with much of the market as investors anticipate a government shutdown. More speculative assets like Dogecoin tend to see outsized drops when the market is uneasy.
Crypto investors brace for a shutdown
While a U.S. government shutdown could be avoided, the clock is ticking. Legislators need to pass a funding bill by the end of the day, but both sides of the aisle are playing hardball and refusing to budge. The market seems to be anticipating a shutdown.
Image source: Getty Images.
It wouldn't be the first time -- there have been 14 shutdowns since 1980 -- but a shutdown introduces uncertainty, which often leads to a dip in the market. Investors like stability.
Dogecoin is a very risky asset
Dogecoin's drop today outpaced most of the crypto market because it's a meme coin with no real value. It is highly speculative and built on hype. It really shouldn't be viewed as a serious investment; it is more of a bet.
While today's dip could look like an opportunity to buy, I wouldn't. Dogecoin can fall a lot further. A more serious market event could cause Dogecoin to plummet.
Investors should instead look to cryptos with a proven track record of value and projects with innovative technology. Bitcoin and Ethereum are much smarter plays.

Circle weighs transaction reversibility to counter fraud in USDC network
Circle Internet Group is exploring mechanisms to allow transactions in its USDC stablecoin to be reversed in cases of fraud or disputes, according to a Financial Times report.
In an interview reported by FT, Circle President Heath Tarbert said the company is “thinking through … whether or not there’s the possibility of reversibility of transactions.” He added that enabling refunds in fraud cases, similar to traditional finance, could help bring stablecoins into broader mainstream use.
Tarbert also acknowledged a tension between refundability and irreversible settlement. He said that while the company seeks a system with final settlement, the concept of reversibility introduces a conflict with the ideally immediate and irrevocable nature of blockchain transfers.
Circle is the issuer of USDC, the second‑largest stablecoin by market capitalization, following Tether’s USDT. In 2025, Circle went public through an initial public offering, marking one of the sector’s highest‑profile moves into the public markets.
As of now, Circle has not publicly confirmed detailed designs or timelines for any reversibility mechanism
Dogecoin continues to attract attention as both technical and fundamental factors align, hinting at possible bullish momentum. Despite a mild decline to $0.229 as of press time, analysts highlight that the coin is trading above crucial support zones.
This price action comes as speculation grows around a potential Dogecoin ETF approval in 2025, further fueling optimism. With the market cap holding steady near $34.6 billion, Dogecoin remains a central focus for traders eyeing its next big move.
Historical Patterns Reinforce Bullish ExpectationsAccording to thescalpingpro, Dogecoin has repeatedly demonstrated strong upside moves whenever it flips above the bull market support bands (BMSB). Historical flips in 2021, 2024, and mid-2025 all resulted in explosive rallies, often triggering what traders call “God candles.”
At present, DOGE is consolidating above the BMSB, with support around $0.22–$0.21. This setup raises the prospect of another significant rally if momentum builds. Resistance at $0.30 and $0.45 remains the first hurdle, while a breakout could extend toward the $0.70–$0.90 range.
Short-Term Triangle Formation Strengthens the Bull CaseOn the lower time frame, Trader Tardigrade observes Dogecoin forming an ascending triangle pattern on the 2-hour chart. The resistance zone near $0.237–$0.238 has capped upward attempts, but higher lows are pressuring price against this ceiling.
With support now around $0.233, the structure leans bullish. A close above $0.238 could pave the way for targets at $0.244–$0.245, while losing $0.233 risks a pullback to $0.230. Momentum indicators favor buyers if volume confirms the breakout.
Weekly Chart Structure Points Toward Bigger GainsBesides short-term signals, Dogecoin’s weekly chart paints a broader bullish picture. Trader Tardigrade highlights that DOGE has consistently respected its ascending trendline, sparking rallies with each retest.
Source: X
Current support between $0.22–$0.25 has proven resilient, and as long as it holds, upside targets include $0.35, $0.50, and even $1.00–$1.25 in coming months. However, a decisive breakdown below $0.22 would weaken this bullish structure significantly.
ETF Developments Add Fuel to the SpeculationSource: Polymarket
Meanwhile, the probability of a Dogecoin ETF approval surged on prediction platform Polymarket, now reflecting over 99% odds. Total volume on this market has exceeded $213,000, showing rising investor interest.
Additionally, the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF has already appeared on the DTCC system, marking progress in the regulatory pipeline. With the SEC reviewing spot ETF applications from Grayscale and Bitwise, decisions expected by mid-October could influence sentiment further.

Chainlink Price Holds $20 Support Amid Tokenization With DTA Standard Progress – Is $47 Next?
Chainlink price has attracted fresh attention after recent analyst insights highlighted key technical patterns. The expert emphasized how LINK price is aligning with broader market structure, suggesting a possible continuation of its upward trajectory. Meanwhile, institutional activity around tokenization is also placing the spotlight back on Chainlink’s role in shaping future financial infrastructure.
Chainlink Price Holds Key Support As Analyst Targets $47
Specifically, an analyst, Ali, highlights how the Chainlink price has been moving within a defined ascending channel, repeatedly bouncing from the lower boundary and retesting upper resistance.
His perspective emphasizes that if LINK price maintains the $20 level, the path toward higher zones could remain intact, creating room for a sharp continuation. The expert believes this cycle mirrors earlier expansions, where defended supports opened the door for rapid rallies.
Notably, Ali points out that the technical script rarely changes, even though market reactions appear dramatic. The current Chainlink market price trades at $21.28, and such positioning keeps the token well within the channel’s bullish structure. Meanwhile, Ali stresses that sustained support could form the foundation for larger moves, with $47 emerging as the next key upside target.
LINK/USDT 3-Day Chart (Source: X)
On the 4-hour chart, LINK displays an inverse head-and-shoulders formation, widely recognized as a reversal trigger in technical analysis. The neckline breakout sits near $22, and clearing it could quickly propel LINK toward $24.69 and $25.64.
Specifically, this shorter timeframe structure reinforces the daily channel outlook, suggesting alignment between intraday and broader patterns. The current consolidation near $21 reflects that buyers are absorbing sell pressure and defending key support areas.
Moreover, whales recently scooped up 800K LINK from the demand zone, showing confidence in the asset’s recovery potential. With this backdrop, the expert’s $47 projection gains added relevance, while the broader technical picture continues to validate a sustained long-term Chainlink price prediction that extends well beyond immediate upside targets.
LINK/USDT 4-Hour Chart (Source: TradingView)
Tokenization With DTA Standard: UBS Adoption Strengthens Chainlink’s Case
Beyond technicals, Chainlink’s institutional integrations are adding crucial weight. UBS Asset Management, through its in-house tokenization unit UBS Tokenize, is adopting the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) standard.
This framework streamlines fund workflows, including subscriptions, redemptions, and settlement processes. The inclusion of support for fiat and digital assets makes it highly versatile. Additionally, automated compliance features align operations with regulatory frameworks, ensuring security and efficiency.
Meanwhile, the DTA standard also leverages Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), allowing secure multi-chain transfers. NAVLink feeds enhance valuation accuracy, ensuring transparent pricing for tokenized assets.
Together, these features reduce friction in fund lifecycle management, making Chainlink indispensable for institutional adoption. Notably, the DTA standard positions LINK at the center of the $100 trillion fund industry’s gradual shift to tokenization.
Furthermore, Chainlink’s ecosystem strength is amplified by fresh integrations, with Polymarket partnering with Chainlink to boost its market resolution process, signaling broader real-world adoption of its infrastructure.
To conclude, Chainlink price continues to show resilience as both charts and fundamentals reinforce the bullish outlook. LINK price remains supported by structural patterns and institutional integrations. With tokenization progress and technical setups converging, the narrative remains decisive. Chainlink is now firmly positioned for a stronger climb.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The analyst noted that past bullish cycles often began with accumulation phases before breakout rallies.
A Head and Shoulders formation on the 4-hour chart is guiding near-term expectations.
The DTA Standard supports tokenization growth, reinforcing Chainlink’s adoption in real-world asset markets.

What Gold's Historic Rally Means For Bitcoin's Next Move
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) may soon make a significant move, following a historic gold rally that has seen the commodity surge above $3,800.
What Happened: Prominent analyst Kevin noted in his exclusive Patreon group that Bitcoin has reclaimed its higher-low, lower-high structure after bouncing from the weekly bull market support band, reinforcing the chance of a reversal.
Historically, BTC often delivers a "first move is the wrong move" fake-out before reversing, making the next few days pivotal.
Gold And Bitcoin
Kevin noted that Bitcoin's biggest rallies have often followed gold's macro tops—seen in 2013, 2017, and 2020/21.
With Gold now in its strongest bull run since the 1970s and its monthly RSI at an extreme 91 (last seen in 1979), BTC's ongoing sideways consolidation amid record-low volatility could precede a dramatic surge.
If history rhymes, BTC's sideways consolidation amid historically low volatility could soon resolve with a dramatic move as Gold approaches exhaustion.
Also Read: Bitcoin At $113,000 Waiting For ‘Final Rotiation’ As Analyst Forecasts One Last Dominance Push
Breakout?
Bitcoin's monthly Bollinger Bands and volatility indicators also point to an imminent expansion phase. With compression at historic lows, the market is signalling that a significant breakout is only weeks away.
Why It Matters: Bitcoin's 4-hour chart shows it above key moving averages and the $112,700 Fibonacci level, with a possible inverse head-and-shoulders pattern forming.
Flat daily money flow and declining whale inflows mean stronger capital is needed to fuel a sustained breakout.
Liquidity dynamics show heavy clusters of short liquidations up to $119,000 and long liquidations down to $106,800, coinciding with BTC's prolonged range between $98,000 and $125,000.
Adding complexity, a CME gap at $110,700 could also attract price movement.
The convergence of gold's potential topping signal, Bitcoin's technical patterns, and suppressed volatility makes the coming weeks critical for the crypto market's next major move.

Republic to Tokenize Animoca Brands Equity on Solana to Broaden Investor AccessTokenizing Animoca's private equity will expand global access while adhering to existing securities rules, Republic said. Sep 30, 2025, 6:32 p.m.
Investment platform Republic revealed plans on Wednesday to tokenize shares of crypto venture firm Animoca Brands on the SOL$206.89 blockchain, a move aimed at opening investor access through blockchain rails.
Animoca Brands, known for backing over 600 blockchain startups and projects, remains privately held with shares only traded in limited over-the-counter deals. Republic said its plan will create digital tokens that represent ownership in the company, which can be held in crypto wallets and traded on Republic’s own marketplace.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
"This tokenization aligns strongly with Animoca Brands’ position as a Web3 leader, providing novel options for investors to tokenize and trade their holdings as well as broaden investment accessibility for a wider market," said Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands.
The move could allow a wider, global set of investors to gain exposure to a private tech company without waiting for a traditional public listing. Tokenization, a red-hot trend to create blockchain-based tokens of traditional financial assets such as equity, is often touted as a tool for broadening investor access to assets previously limited to only a select few, proponents say. However, some private equity token offerings such as Robinhood's drew concerns such as limited shareholder rights and fragmented regulations.
Republic said Animoca's equity token will comply with existing regulatory requirements. Details on token pricing and launch timelines are expected later, the blog post said.
"This is a glimpse of the future, where retail investors worldwide can participate in opportunities once reserved for a few, and companies can tap into liquidity and distribution on a global scale," Solana Foundation president Lily Liu said in a statement.

$291 Million Institutional Money Flows Into Solana — Can SOL Price Smash Through $300 in October?
Institutional money rushed into Solana this week, making the network a standout amid broader outflows in digital-asset funds.
At the same time, the coin’s price has been edging closer to the $250 mark, a key psychological and technical resistance level.
Such momentum has not gone unnoticed, as traders and analysts are watching to see whether Solana can sustain this rally.
The move quickly drew attention across the market, as large-scale inflows like this often reflect growing confidence in future price gains.
Solana Surpasses Ethereum in September Inflows, Boosting Bullish Outlook
$291M Flows Into Solana — Can Price Smash Through $250? Analysts and entrepreneurs note that such inflows are not only substantial in size but also in timing, as the overall crypto market exhibits signs of renewed strength.
Advertisement
According to market data, Solana’s share of total institutional inflows now surpasses that of Ethereum for the same period, marking a notable shift in investor preference.
This development adds weight to the argument that Solana is gaining traction as a leading blockchain for scalability and adoption.
The move quickly drew attention across the market, as such large-scale buys often signal strong confidence in future price gains.
Short-term market context: price and volume
Solana’s spot price traded in the low-$200s on September 29, 2025. CoinGecko reported SOL at roughly $210 on that date, with a seven-day range from about $192 to $222.
CoinMarketCap’s live price on the same day showed SOL around US$210 with a 24-hour trading volume in the billions. These price datapoints provide context: the inflows arrived while SOL was well below its January 2025 all-time high near US$293.
The $291 million inflow into Solana ETPs on Sept. 29, 2025, is a clear, data-backed sign of concentrated institutional interest.
The proof of a lasting move will be whether demand strengthens the price above the $245–$250 resistance with commensurate volume, and whether the broader market environment sustains risk appetite.

Coinbase Whales Accumulate 139 Billion SHIB as Traders Dismiss Token
SHIB whales moved 139B tokens worth $1.64M from Coinbase, betting on a rebound as retail traders exit Shiba Inu at yearly lows.
Newton Gitonga2 min read
30 September 2025, 06:33 PM
The price of Shiba Inu has remained muted, stuck near $0.00001159 at the time of writing, leaving retail traders frustrated. Months of lower highs and falling liquidity have dampened sentiment, with many dismissing the meme coin as an unattractive asset.
However, while smaller traders exit the market, blockchain data indicates whales are positioning themselves quietly. Recent accumulation has reignited speculation that large holders are preparing for a rebound in the final quarter of the year.
Large SHIB Transfers Signal AccumulationOn-chain data tracked a significant movement of Shiba Inu tokens from Coinbase into an unknown wallet. Reports confirmed the wallet withdrew 41,958,447,274 SHIB, valued at around $502,240 at the time of transfer. Hours later, the same address received another 97,192,000,000 SHIB, equivalent to $1.15 million. Combined, the wallet secured 139,150,244,953 SHIB, with a total value of approximately $1.64 million at today’s price.
Source: Arkham
The timing of these purchases coincides with Shiba Inu’s weakest levels of the year. The token has lost approximately 70% of its value since December 2024, when it traded at a price of around $0.00004. Its current consolidation suggests whales are capitalizing on discounted levels, building positions that could deliver outsized gains if momentum shifts.
Potential Upside If Market RecoversThe whale might be rewarded with profit if Shiba Inu regains the trading range that the token was in the middle of December 2024. The price varied then between $0.000018 and $0.000020, which is very high at the present level.
At such a price, the contents of the wallet would experience an increase in value of between $2.5 million and $2.7 million as compared to the current amount of $1.64 million. The result of such an increase would give an investor a profit of over one million dollars.
The move by Whale goes against the current retail mood, with it most recently calling SHIB trash. The whales are likely to be waiting on a recovery that runs into Q4 by stockpiling the tokens when sentiment is poor. The purchases highlight the common pattern in the crypto market, where large investors usually use fallen prices to buy.

A7A5 is now recognized as a digital financial asset in Russia
The ruble-pegged stablecoin A7A5 has been recognized as a digital asset under Russian law and will soon facilitate Russia’s cross-border settlements.
The approval will allow Russian companies to use the cryptocurrency for payments in international trade deals, circumventing financial restrictions imposed by the West.
Russia to employ ruble-backed stablecoin in settlements
Russian firms doing business with foreign partners can now legally use the A7A5 crypto as a means of payment, when exporting and importing goods.
The Russian ruble-linked currency has become the first stablecoin accepted as a digital financial asset (DFA), as defined in current legislation, the business news portal RBC reported, quoting an announcement by the project’s team.
According to a dedicated law, which went into force in early 2021, DFAs represent tokenized versions of real-world assets. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies and tokens, these are based on private, not public blockchains.
Russian DFAs are only issued by “information system operators” authorized by the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), such as Sberbank and Alfa-Bank, or the platforms Atomize and Tokeon, among others.
The A7A5 tokens were first minted in February 2025 in Kyrgyzstan. Their market capitalization already exceeds 41 billion rubles (close to $500 million).
On Tuesday, the head of the A7A5 project, Leonid Shumakov, was quoted stating:
“The A7A5 stablecoin has already become a convenient and effective tool for cross-border settlements using blockchain.”
He is convinced the stablecoin can be scaled up further and offer solutions that will “bring significant positive effects for individuals, companies, and the economy as a whole.”
Sanctioned Russian bank and its entities underpin A7A5 payments
A7A5 transactions are processed by the Tokeon digital asset platform, which is part of the PSB Group. Formerly known as Promsvyazbank, PSB is a state-owned Russian bank, placed under sanctions.
The crypto is advertised as backed by deposits at the PSB. Western governments allege it’s being used by Russian actors to bypass measures restricting Moscow’s ability to finance its war in Ukraine.
To utilize A7A5 in foreign trade transactions, a Russian company would have to register as an investor on the Tokeon platform and buy stablecoins. The recipients of the payments will get tokens on either the Tron or the Ethereum blockchain, the RBC report detailed.
Pilot settlements have been successful, unveiled Olga Myamlina, deputy chair of PSB Bank. And according to Igor Egorkin, CEO of Tokeon, the initiative has been supported by the Russian government.
The stablecoin was reportedly created by A7, a Russian company, majority-owned by a fugitive Moldovan oligarch with a Russian passport, Ilan Shor.
However, it’s currently issued by a Kyrgyz-registered entity called Old Vector, which claims the project is now “fully independent.”
Both have been sanctioned alongside other entities linked to A7A5, such as the Kyrgyzstan-based crypto exchange Grinex, alleged successor of the Russian Garantex, shut down in a U.S.-led operation in March.
Around the time the latest sanctions were enforced, the currency briefly lost its peg to the Russian fiat.
According to the issuer’s announcement, the stablecoin is now compliant with existing Russian regulations and has been allowed to circulate as a digital financial asset in Russia, despite its status as a “foreign digital right” (FDR), or a DFA issued abroad.
The news about the regulatory approval for A7A5 comes after, earlier in September, financial authorities in Moscow indicated their intention to regulate stablecoins and securities based on digital assets. It also follows calls to utilize crypto in the development of the country’s economy.
While transactions with cryptocurrencies, especially their use as a means of payment domestically, remain largely prohibited, an “experimental” legal regime allows Russian firms to employ them in cross-border payments.
According to a recent statement by the Kremlin’s business advisor, Boris Titov, Russia’s foreign trade settlements with cryptocurrency reached $12 billion in the first half of 2025.
