Quick Take
Coinbase’s CFTC-regulated derivatives arm plans to launch 24/7 trading and “perp-style” futures for Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot, Shiba Inu, Stellar, and SUI in early December.
The move follows similar launches for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP earlier this year.
Coinbase Derivatives is planning on expanding 24/7 trading for its listed altcoin futures, including Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot, Shiba Inu, Stellar, and SUI. 

Nonstop trading for these assets will go live Dec. 5, according to a post on X from Coinbase Markets. This adds to Coinbase Derivatives existing 24/7 support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP products, including nano and “perp-style” futures products. 

Additionally, Coinbase is looking to add U.S. perpetual-style futures for those altcoins, according to the X post on Friday. These long-dated futures are similar to other crypto-native perps contracts in that they use a funding rate mechanism to keep futures contract prices aligned with spot markets. However, they come with a five-year expiration, while true perps are indefinite. 

Coinbase’s CFTC-regulated derivatives arm unveiled 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading in May and perps-style futures in July. The product launches followed shortly after Coinbase’s historic $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit.

Coinbase’s expanding futures offerings come as more and more trading activity shifts to decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid and Lighter. The Block’s measure of DEX to CEX Futures Trade Volume is currently at an all-time high.

XRP has been hit by one of its most aggressive sell waves this year, with on-chain data revealing that major whale wallets offloaded nearly 200 million XRP, roughly $400 million, within just 48 hours.

Related Reading: Ethereum Dead Cat Bounce Puts Price At $3,400, But What’s The Ultimate Target?

According to Santiment analytics, wallets holding between one million and ten million tokens were the primary contributors, adding significant sell-side liquidity to an already fragile market.

This sudden influx of supply arrived at a time when XRP was already battling bearish sentiment across the broader crypto space. The asset slipped 10.32% in 24 hours, falling below the key $2 psychological level, touching lows near $1.85, and posting double-digit losses within a single day.

Extreme Fear Grips the Market
Market indicators paint a grim picture. XRP is trading below both its 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages, signalling sustained downward momentum. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 14, firmly in “extreme fear” territory, while selling volume surged past $7.2 billion in 24 hours.

Analysts warn that a failure to reclaim resistance near $2.30 could open the door to deeper losses, with short-term projections suggesting a potential drop toward $1.50 if bearish pressure continues.

The weakness is not isolated to XRP. Bitcoin’s retreat below the $85,000 zone and Ethereum’s slide below $3,000 have triggered market-wide liquidations, with macro uncertainty adding fuel.

Concerns over a possible delay in Federal Reserve rate cuts, driven by soft U.S. jobs data and rising unemployment, have dented investor appetite for risk assets across the board.

Will XRP Stabilize or Sink Further?
The big question now is whether whales will continue distributing or pause their offloading. If no new wave of large-scale selling emerges, analysts believe XRP could stabilize and attempt to reclaim the $2 mark in the coming sessions.

Recovery projections place the short-term target between $2.50 and $2.70, though this would require a decisive break above long-standing resistance.

Medium-term predictions remain cautiously optimistic but restrained. Many experts expect XRP to trade between $1.96 and $2.27 into the end of 2025, with stronger upside momentum unlikely until regulatory clarity and upcoming ETF activity begin shaping demand heading into 2026.

For now, XRP faces a heavy supply overhang, and whether the bleeding stops depends on what the whales do next.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

XRP is now moving into a new chapter marked by the arrival of Spot XRP ETFs, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes this is about to cause a rush toward the asset.

Garlinghouse’s latest comment about an incoming rush to XRP arrives at a moment when the cryptocurrency has been struggling with bearish price action. The cryptocurrency has spent the past several days trading in a downtrend, even as market participants continue to digest the recent launch of the Bitwise Spot XRP ETF on the New York Stock Exchange. 

Ripple CEO’s XRP ETF Rush Message
The market is still adjusting to the launch of Bitwise’s Spot XRP ETF on the New York Stock Exchange, a listing that marks a significant step forward for institutional access to the asset. Bitwise’s product now sits alongside Canary’s XRPC ETF on the NASDAQ, making it the second US-based Spot XRP ETF to go live. 

This expansion of regulated XRP investment vehicles has pushed XRP into a much smaller category of cryptocurrencies that have secured full exchange-listed status in the United States.

The arrival of a second fully regulated product is being viewed as an early sign that the XRP ETF surrounding is just beginning to take shape. It also signals that issuers are becoming more confident in the regulatory footing surrounding XRP, especially after years of uncertainty.

Responding to Bitwise’s launch on the social media platform X, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse described this moment as a turning point that could open the door to a rush of new interest in XRP ETFs. 

Ripple CEO’s message was a mix of congratulations for Bitwise and a hint that more activity may follow, and this is only the start of a much larger movement in the XRP investment landscape. “The pre-thanksgiving rush (shall we say, ‘turkey trot’!?) for XRP ETFs starts now,” he said.

What The Rush Could Mean For XRP Going Forward
The question now is how this new ETF environment will influence XRP’s market performance. Bitwise’s XRP ETF first trading saw $105.36 million in inflows, bringing the cumulative total net inflow of XRP ETFs to $410.76 million.

So far, the token has not responded with the kind of explosive rally that some expected around the ETF launches. Price action is somewhat restrained, having broken below the $2 price level despite the new investment access points.

The next phase could arrive sooner than expected because several additional XRP ETFs are positioned to launch in the coming days. 

One of the most closely watched is the Grayscale XRP Trust ETF, which Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart confirmed is scheduled to begin trading as early as Monday, November 24th, alongside Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF. Seyffart also highlighted that Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF may debut on the same day. The clustering of these launches, arriving just days apart, reflects the wave of products Garlinghouse referred to as the “pre-Thanksgiving rush for XRP ETFs.”

Bitcoiners were noticeably more upbeat on social media today as the odds of a US Federal Reserve rate cut in December nearly doubled compared to just a day earlier.

Some crypto market participants are speculating that this could be the catalyst Bitcoin (BTC) needs to halt the asset’s downward trend.

“Let’s see if that’s enough to find a bottom here for now,” crypto analyst Moritz said in an X post on Friday, as Bitcoin’s price trades at $85,071, down 10.11% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.

On Friday, the odds of an interest rate cut at the December Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting almost doubled to 69.40%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Just the day before, on Thursday, it was nearly 30.30% lower, at 39.10%. 

The odds of a US Federal Reserve rate cut jumped 30.30% on Friday. Source: CME GroupMany in the wider market attributed the spike at least partly to dovish remarks from New York Fed president John Williams, who said the Fed can cut rates “in the near term” without endangering its inflation goal. Bloomberg analyst Joe Weisenthal said it was the reason the odds have “massively increased.”

The setup is looking “unfathomably bullish,” says analystHowever, economist Mohamed El-Erian warned market participants not to get “carried away” by the comments. Meanwhile, the broader crypto community has reacted even more bullishly. “Usually this would be bullish,” Mister Crypto said in an X post on Friday. 

The Fed cutting rates is typically bullish for riskier assets such as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, as traditional assets such as bonds and term deposits become less lucrative to investors.

Source: TedCrypto analyst Jesse Eckel pointed to the surging rate cut odds and said, “If you zoom out, the setup is unfathomably bullish.”

“I don’t know why we keep going lower,” Eckel said. “We are going from a tightening cycle into an easing cycle,” he added.

Crypto analyst Curb said, “Crypto will explode in a massive rally.”

The odds of a rate cut were previously “mispriced”Coinbase Institutional said in a X post on Friday, “While markets are leaning toward ‘no cut’ this time, we believe the odds for a rate cut are actually mispriced. Recent tariff research, private market data, and real-time inflation indicators suggest otherwise.”

“Since the October FOMC meeting, futures have shifted from expecting a 25bps cut to favoring a hold, mainly due to rising inflation concerns,” Coinbase Institutional said.

“However, studies show that tariff hikes can lower inflation and increase unemployment in the short term, acting like negative demand shocks,” it added.

It comes as sentiment across the entire crypto market has remained weak over the past seven days. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, posted an “Extreme Fear” score of 14 in its Friday update.

Dogecoin continues to trade quietly after several weeks of muted activity, with price drifting toward $0.155 as the market waits for direction. Volatility has compressed, trading volume has thinned, and short-term sentiment remains pessimistic.

Internet Computer (ICP) extended its downturn over the past 24 hours, trading around $4.36 after a sharp fall below the long-standing $4.33 support level. The drop followed one of the steepest intraday declines in recent weeks, with ICP plunging rapidly from $4.97 to $4.30, a move largely driven by technical factors rather than fundamentals, according to CoinDesk Research’s market data.

Trading activity spiked significantly during the European morning session on Friday, reaching 7.86 million tokens, a massive 224% increase compared with the previous 24-hour average. This surge in volume aligned precisely with the breakdown of the crucial $4.33 support—an area that had consistently acted as a rebound zone throughout October and early November. Once this level failed, sellers quickly pushed the price into the $4.20–$4.30 range, where ICP briefly steadied before slipping back into a narrow consolidation pattern.

Intraday data captured a small recovery attempt at 13:41 UTC, with ICP ticking up to $4.344 on heightened volume. Although this suggested temporary stabilization around the psychological $4.30 threshold, buying interest faded just as quickly. The token soon dipped again toward $4.298, reinforcing the broader bearish momentum that continues to weigh on the market.

With no new fundamental catalysts emerging, ICP’s price movement remains heavily dictated by technical levels. A new resistance zone has formed near $4.69, the region where selling pressure intensified earlier in the week. The market now sits tightly between $4.30–$4.34, leaving limited room for decisive trends until traders return with stronger volume.

For bulls to regain control, a convincing move back above $4.33 is essential. Otherwise, bears are likely to push for another test of the $4.20 support floor if downward pressure persists.

Key Takeaways
What happens when mining becomes unprofitable?
Miners may shut down rigs and sell their Bitcoin reserves to cover costs, adding sell pressure and risking a market downturn.

Does a drop in miners weaken the network?
Yes. Fewer miners mean reduced hashrate, lower security, and slower block processing.

Bitcoin mining has entered a worrying phase, raising fresh concerns across the crypto market.

According to the latest data from MacroMicro, the average cost to mine a single Bitcoin has dropped to $112,025. This has sparked questions about the industry’s profitability and long-term sustainability.

This sharp decline comes at a time when market sentiment is uncertain, fueling fears that miners may soon face financial pressure if prices continue to fall.

All about mining costs
Highlighting the same, Jacob King, CEO of SwanDesk, noted, 

“People don’t realize how much chaos is coming for Bitcoin in the next few months. Bitcoin mining has entered its most unprofitable stretch in a decade.”

He added, 

“It currently costs a whopping $112K to mine a single Bitcoin, that’s now only worth $86K and falling fast. It’s only a matter of time before miners shut down, the network shrinks, and a cascading crash follows.”

Needless to say, a decline in miner profitability doesn’t just affect operations. In fact, it can trigger a chain reaction across the market.

When mining costs outweigh returns, companies are forced to liquidate their Bitcoin [BTC] reserves to stay afloat. This could increase the sell pressure, potentially dragging prices lower.

Thus, if this trend intensifies, the market could see miner capitulation. This is where large numbers of miners shut down, weakening network security and reducing overall hashrate.

Together, these factors could heighten the risk of a deeper market downturn. Especially if Bitcoin continues to trade below its production cost.

Analysts are not worried – Why?
However, some like CoinW’s Chief Strategy Officer Nassar are not worried. He said, 

“Many people see mining costs above spot as a crisis signal, but this phase is actually part of Bitcoin’s economic design.”

Despite the growing panic around sub-cost mining, the analyst argued that this phase may actually strengthen the Bitcoin network rather than weaken it.

Nassar explained that when Bitcoin trades below the marginal cost of production, inefficient miners shut down first, reducing hashrate and triggering a difficulty reset.

This process removes weaker participants and eases selling pressure, allowing the network to rebalance.

Historically, such stress points do not lead to a simple “miners quit, price collapses” outcome. Instead, they often precede supply squeezes and renewed accumulation once the market stabilizes.

In essence, short-term pain creates a more efficient network and sets the stage for healthier long-term growth. This, even though market participants rarely recognize this shift until after the reset.

Bitcoin price action and more trends
Worth noting, however, that this recalibration is unfolding as Bitcoin falls sharply on the price charts. In fact, BTC lost over 10% of its value in the last 24 hours, while also falling by 23% over the past month.

Such a downturn can be reflected by the performances of public mining companies like Cipher Mining, IREN, Bitfarms, and CleanSpark. Each one of them has registered notable losses. 

Meanwhile, miner earnings have taken a substantial hit too, with monthly revenue falling from $1.62 billion in October to $851.84 million in November. 

Source: The Block

Combined, these figures highlight just how financially pressured miners have become. Even as the network mechanically adjusts to restore long-term stability.

While miners still face short-term financial stress, cost efficiency could ultimately support a healthier mining ecosystem.

Solana’s price is now sitting inside a crucial support zone, and what happens in this region will decide whether the next major bullish wave can truly begin. The broader correction has brought SOL to a defining moment, where micro-level price behavior will determine if buyers can regain control or if deeper levels must be tested first.

Market Correction Nears First Major Support Zone
According to a recent update by More Crypto Online, SOL still maintains the chance to begin a larger upward move in this current cycle. The analyst notes that the market has been in a correction since mid-September and has now reached its first major structural support zone, putting the asset at a crucial juncture.

The first key support zone is defined as sitting between $138 and $118, which is currently being tested by the market. However, More Crypto Online cautions that there is currently not enough evidence that support is being confirmed here. While there is a small green candle on the weekly chart, this is merely something to watch and is “not yet a signal.”

SOL crucial levels that could trigger a bounce | Source: Chart from More Crypto Online on X
More Crypto Online outlines the bearish contingency: if Solana breaks sustainably below the $117–$118 area, the focus will shift to a deeper correction scenario, targeting the next major macro support zone between $90 and $62.

In the weekly chart, these are the two zones that matter most on the macro level. However, More Crypto Online emphasizes that traders cannot automatically assume one or the other will hold. Meanwhile, the key is always to observe how the microstructure behaves inside these zones.

Why Micro-Timeframe Structure Is the Decisive Factor
The analyst further clarified that a weekly support zone only becomes meaningful when lower time frames begin to form clear 5-wave impulse structures from the lows. These impulses act as early confirmation that buyers are stepping in with strength rather than producing temporary reactions.

Without these smaller-time-frame impulses, any bounce that appears within a weekly support zone remains unconfirmed. It simply signals that price is reacting to the area, not that a true bottom has formed or that a bullish reversal is underway.

To distinguish between a weak bounce and a confirmed hold, the analyst emphasized tracking micro price action on the 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour charts. These lower time frames reveal whether buyers are defending levels with conviction.

Until Solana prints a clean and structured 5-wave move from a low, neither support zone can be considered validated. In the meantime, both the higher and lower support scenarios remain fully in play.

XRP’s recent price action continues to reveal a weakening market structure, with the asset sliding deeper into a long-standing descending channel. Since topping out near $3.50, every attempted recovery at the channel’s upper boundary has been swiftly rejected, reinforcing the dominance of sellers. XRP now trades slightly above $2, resting on the channel’s lower trendline — a level that has historically sparked short-lived rebounds but has failed to alter the broader bearish trend in recent months.

This support zone remains important, but its inability to trigger a meaningful shift in momentum suggests that the downtrend is far from over. The key question now is whether XRP can stay above this support long enough to avoid a potential drop toward the critical $1 “reset” region. This is not an arbitrary figure; the $1–$1.20 range acted as a high-liquidity consolidation zone before XRP’s major rallies in late 2024 and early 2025. If the descending channel finally breaks down decisively, market structure alone increases the probability of a retest of that region. Many long-term holders also view $1 as a fair correction value, historically attracting strong buyer interest.

What raises additional concern is the rising volume accompanying XRP’s recent declines. Growing sell volume typically reflects conviction selling rather than panic, an indication that market participants expect further downside. Momentum indicators also provide little relief, as no clear bullish divergence has formed to signal a potential trend reversal.

Still, a complete breakdown is not guaranteed. If buyers manage to defend the lower boundary again, XRP could stage a rebound toward the $2.40–$2.60 resistance zone. Any such move, however, should be viewed as a temporary counter-trend rally rather than a bullish reversal unless the price escapes the descending channel and reclaims key moving averages overhead.

Robert Kiyosaki, the well-known author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and a frequent voice in the financial education space, has revealed that he recently sold his long-held Bitcoin holdings for a total of $2.25 million. According to his latest social media update, Kiyosaki originally purchased the coins years ago for about $6,000 per BTC, making his sale at roughly $90,000 per coin a highly profitable move. His decision comes as Bitcoin trades near $84,475, following intense volatility that briefly pushed the price below $81,000 earlier in the day on Bitstamp.

Despite previously forecasting that Bitcoin could skyrocket to $250,000, Kiyosaki said the sale was strategic, not a retreat from crypto. The outspoken investor, who once filed for bankruptcy in 2012, emphasized that the purpose of cashing out was to acquire assets that would generate steady cash flow. With the proceeds from his Bitcoin liquidation, he purchased two surgery centers and invested in a billboard business, ventures he believes will produce approximately $27,500 per month in tax-free income by February. He describes this income as positive cash flow that exceeds operating costs, reflecting a major principle he often teaches about building long-term wealth.

Kiyosaki also made it clear that he remains bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Earlier this month, he claimed he continued buying Bitcoin and Ethereum during the market correction, expressing confidence in what he called “massive riches” ahead. Although he has temporarily divested, he intends to buy more BTC in the future using the returns from his new businesses.

His latest move highlights a shift from speculative gains to income-producing assets, a strategy consistent with his long-standing financial philosophy. Even with a short-term exit, Kiyosaki maintains that Bitcoin remains one of the most valuable opportunities for investors looking beyond market turbulence.

Presentation

Operator

Good morning, and welcome to the Jefferies 2025 Healthcare Conference. It's my pleasure now to introduce David Kirn, CEO; and Chris Simms, Chief Commercial Officer of 4D Molecular Therapeutics.

David Kirn
Co-Founder, CEO & Director

All right. Thank you very much. I'm Dave Kirn, sometimes the R and N merge and it looks like Kim, so I get that a lot. So David Kirn, good to see you. Co-Founder and CEO of 4D, and Chris Simms and I will be tag-teaming this. Chris is our Chief Commercial Officer. So this is 4D Molecular Therapeutics at a glance. We're developing an adaptable genetic medicines portfolio, including a focus on ophthalmology and pulmonology.

Our lead asset, 4D-150 is a potential backbone therapy that really dramatically reduces the treatment burden on patients with wet AMD and DME. So this really has an opportunity to be a highly disruptive product in a market that's roughly $17 billion annually. We think 4D-150 has a potential to really transform this field given its safety, clear efficacy with treatment burden reductions that you'll see later in the presentation, and it fits seamlessly into the commercial flow of a busy retina practice, which we believe gives us an advantage for commercialization.

And unlike most gene therapies, cost of goods here is very, very low. So we have great pricing flexibility. 4D-710 is our aerosol delivered genetic medicine for cystic fibrosis. This product delivers a CFTR transgene throughout the airways with highly reproducible transduction and gene expression, and we'll be updating this program later in December from our Phase I program. So gene therapy generally has a number of limitations that have held

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. 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.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Freeport-McMoRan did not adequately ensure safety at the Grasberg Block Cave mine in Indonesia; (2) the lack of proper safety precautions constituted a heightened risk that could foreseeably lead to the death of Freeport's workers; (3) this constituted an undisclosed heightened risk of regulatory, litigation, and reputational risk; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about Freeport-McMoRan's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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 has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. 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, James Hardie Industries plc misled investors about the strength of its key North America Fiber Cement segment between May 20 and August 18, 2025. Despite knowing by April and early May that distributors were destocking inventory, James Hardie falsely claimed demand remained strong and that stock levels were "normal." When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Jayud Global Logistics Limited (NASDAQ: JYD) securities between April 21, 2023 and April 30, 2025. The Company claims to provide a range of worldwide cross-border supply chain solution services.

For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.

The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Jayud Global Logistics Limited (JYD) Engaged in a Fraudulent Stock Promotion Scheme    

According to the complaint, during the class period defendants failed to disclose: (1) that Jayud was the subject of a fraudulent stock promotion scheme involving social media-based misinformation and impersonated financial professionals; (2) that insiders and/or affiliates used offshore or nominee accounts to facilitate the coordinated dumping of shares during a price inflation campaign; and (3) that Jayud's public statements and risk disclosures omitted any mention of the false rumors and artificial trading activity driving the stock price.

Plaintiff alleges that in the weeks leading up to April 2025, Jayud's share price surged from roughly $1.00 to an all-time high of around $8.00 per share, despite no fundamental news from the Company to justify such a spike. Investigations and public reports have since revealed that Jayud used a primary vehicle for an illicit "pump-and-dump" promotion scheme. Impersonators touted Jayud in online forums, chat groups, and social media posts with sensational but baseless claims to create a buying frenzy among retail investors.

What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Jayud Global Logistics Limited. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must file their papers with the court by January 20, 2026. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. For more information, click here.

(“South Star” or the “Company”) (TSXV: STS) (OTCQB: STSBF) is pleased to announce the closing of its third and final tranche of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the “Unit Offering”) and to report the results of its Annual General and Special Meeting (the “AGSM”) held on November 17, 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

AGSM Highlights

the re-election of Marc Leduc, Tiago Cunha, Priscilla Lima and Dan Wilton;the re-appointment of MNP LLP as auditors of the Company;the re-approval of the 10% rolling Omnibus Incentive Plan;and the approval of the creation of a new control person of the Company, being Tiago Sampaio Cunha and his affiliates. Closing of Third and Final Tranche

Further to its news releases dated September 30, 2025, October 10, 2025, October 31, 2025 and November 7, 2025, the Company has closed the third and final tranche of its previously announced Unit Offering, issuing 22,744,253 units (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$3,411,638 (approximately US$2,454,416).

Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at a price of C$0.20 per Share for a period of five (5) years from the closing date, subject to acceleration. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated, at the option of the Company, if at any time after four (4) months following the closing date, the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) is at or above C$0.40 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, provided that the Company gives thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the holders by news release.

The securities issued under the third tranche of the Unit Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. Net proceeds from the Unit Offering will be used for exploration and development activities, general and administrative expenses, and working capital. The Unit Offering remains subject to final approval of the Exchange.

Including the first and second tranches closed on October 10, 2025 and October 31, 2025, the Company raised total gross proceeds of C$6,672,000 (approximately US$4,800,000) under the Unit Offering.

As a result of receiving shareholder approval of the creation of a new control person of the Company at the AGSM, funds directed and controlled by Mr. Tiago Cunha, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, purchased an additional 12,342,087 Units in the third tranche of the Unit Offering, representing the balance of their C$2,085,000 (approximately US$1.5 million) investment commitment. At closing of the third and final tranche, funds directed and controlled by Mr. Tiago Cunha own an aggregate of 25,455,552 Shares, or 23.92% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares. Such insider participation constitutes a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) thereof, as the fair market value of the securities subscribed for does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

In connection with Unit Offering, the Company paid aggregate finder’s fees of C$258,995 (approximately US$186,328) in cash, including US$178,752 paid to A8 Capital Advisors. The Company also issued 1,987,722 Shares to A8 Capital Advisors as a finder’s fee.

President Donald Trump on Friday hosted New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House where they discussed affordability issues and called for lower electricity prices in the city, which caused a major utility's stock to sink.

Trump and Mamdani, a democratic socialist, spoke to reporters in the Oval Office following their meeting and said that they intend to focus on addressing affordability issues, which Mamdani noted helped increase Trump's level of support in New York City and was something his campaign tapped into.

"When we asked those New Yorkers who had voted for the president, and when we saw an increase in his numbers in New York City, that came back to the same issue – cost of living, cost of living, cost of living. They spoke about the cost of rent, the cost of Con Ed, the cost of childcare," Mamdani explained.

Consolidated Edison, commonly known as Con Ed, is the main utility provider in New York City and has over 3 million customers, and President Trump echoed the need to reduce energy bills facing New Yorkers – saying there need to be talks with the company about lowering prices.

"We talked about Con Edison. We have to work a little bit on getting the prices, because you know, we've gotten fuel prices way down, but it hasn't shown up in Con Edison," Trump said.

"We're going to have to talk to them, you know, if we're sending them fuel at a much lower price than it was a year ago, which is true, we have to get Con Edison to start lowering their rates," he added.

Con Edison told FOX Business the company "powers the economic engine of our country by delivering the most reliable energy to more than 9 million people who live, work, and travel through New York City every day."

"We recognize affordability is a critical issue and work every day to balance the investments needed for resilience and reliability with customer costs. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the Mayor-elect on solutions that make New York affordable for everyone," the company added.

Following Trump and Mamdani's comments, Con Ed shares sank to close the week. Con Ed stock opened Friday's session at $101.48 and hit a high of $103.28 – but it sank to a low of $99.55 following those remarks. The stock closed at $100.16, down 0.78% on Friday.

The Fox News Voter Poll found that while a 59% majority of New York City voters felt their family's financial situation was holding steady, 22% felt that they were falling behind and just 17% felt they were getting ahead – with Mamdani leading among those holding steady or falling behind.

Voters said that the cost of living was the most important issue facing New York City, with 55% of respondents to the Fox News Voter Poll focusing on pocketbook issues, with the next closest issue being crime at 23%.

The company is wasting little time figuring out the particulars of a sweeping capital investment program.

AstraZeneca (AZN +2.62%) stock finished the trading week in style, rising by nearly 3% in value on Friday. That was due to news from the company that it's expanding its manufacturing footprint in the U.S. That price rise was high enough to convincingly beat the S&P 500 index, which crept up by almost 1%.

$2 billion for 2 facilities
AstraZeneca announced it is investing $2 billion in expanding its drug-making capabilities in Maryland, specifically at an existing plant in Frederick and a new one in Gaithersburg. The former is a manufacturing site for biologics, while the latter is planned as a state-of-the-art facility for innovative molecules that will be used in clinical trials.

The pharmaceutical company said that once completed, the Gaithersburg plant will double its current capacity. This will allow it to produce the entirety of its rare disease portfolio at the plant.

AstraZeneca added that the two complexes are to harness artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in their processes. They are expected to be fully operational by 2029.

The Maryland projects are part of a much larger $50 billion global investment program announced by the company in July.

A good time for expansion
AstraZeneca is certainly ambitious, and these days it has the resources to make projects like this happen -- it held over $6 billion in cash at the end of its most recently reported quarter. Onshoring the rare disease drugs to this country is a clever move, given the size and resiliency of the U.S. market, and we could say the same for beefing up its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region generally.
