NEW YORK and NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) and KSF partner, former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors with substantial losses that they have until December 30, 2025 to file lead plaintiff applications in securities class action lawsuits against Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: SNPS), if they purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between December 4, 2024 and September 9, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”) and/or purchased or otherwise acquired Synopsys common stock in exchange for their shares of Ansys, Inc. (“Ansys”) common stock in the acquisition of Ansys. These actions are pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California

About the Lawsuits

Synopsys and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On September 9, 2025, post-market, the Company announced its 3Q2025 financial results, disclosing quarterly revenue of $1.740 billion, missing its prior guidance of between $1.755 billion and $1.785 billion, and reported net income of $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline from $425.9 million reported for 3Q 024. Further, the Company reported that its Design IP segment accounted for approximately 25% of revenue and came in at $426.6 million, a 7.7% decline year-over-year, and also provided guidance inferring that Design IP revenues will decline by at least 5% on a full-year basis in fiscal 2025.

On this news, the price of Synopsys’ shares fell $216.59, or 35.8%, to close at $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The first-filed case is Kim v. Synopsis, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-09410. A subsequent case, New England Teamsters Pension Fund v. Synopsis, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv- 10201, expanded the class period.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM) between July 26, 2024 and September 17, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important December 29, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased DexCom 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 DexCom class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28133 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 29, 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 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DexCom had made material design changes to the G6 and G7 continuous glucose monitoring ("CGM") systems that were unauthorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"); (2) the foregoing design changes rendered the G6 and G7 less reliable than their prior iterations, presenting a material health risk to users relying on those devices for accurate glucose readings; (3) accordingly, defendants' purported enhancements to the G7, as well as the device's reliability, accuracy, and functionality, were overstated; (4) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the issues and health risks posed by adulterated G7 devices; (5) all the foregoing subjected DexCom to an increased risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action, as well as significant legal, reputational, and financial harm; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. 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.

HSBC Holdings named Brendan Nelson as its new chairman on Wednesday, replacing Mark Tucker, in a return to appointing the head of its board from within its ranks.

American entrepreneur and investor Kevin O’Leary has pushed back against speculation that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in December — a move that typically signals a favorable outlook for crypto. 

However, O’Leary doesn’t anticipate a Fed rate hold negatively impacting Bitcoin’s (BTC) price.

“I don’t actually think the Fed's gonna cut in December,” O’Leary, also known as “Mr Wonderful,” told Cointelegraph during an interview on Tuesday, emphasizing that it’s not “gonna make a difference to Bitcoin.”

Mr. Wonderful doesn’t tip Bitcoin to move more than 5%“I’m not investing that way. I’m not investing as if the Fed is going to cut rates. So I just don’t see it. I think there are lots of reasons why they might not,” O’Leary said. 

O’Leary pointed to there being “a lot of inflation in the system.” The annual inflation rate rose to 3% in September, the highest since January.

“It’s a dual mandate, full employment and inflation. And so the tariffs are starting to take hold and input costs,” O’Leary said. Despite those concerns, market participants have assigned odds of 89.2% to a Fed rate cut in December, according to the CME’s FedWatch Tool.

The market is tipping a 89.2% chance of the Fed cutting rates in December. Source: CME GroupCrypto traders typically see Fed rate cuts as bullish for riskier assets such as crypto, as investors tend to shift from bonds and term deposits that become less lucrative.

However, an unexpected Fed rate decision could negatively impact Bitcoin’s price and the broader crypto market, some fear.

However, O’Leary doesn’t anticipate this happening. 

O’Leary said that Bitcoin has found “a level for now” and he doesn’t forecast its price going much lower. “I think it’s going to sort of drift within 5% of where it is now, in either direction, but I don’t see a lot of upside catalyst,” O’Leary said. 

Bitcoin has declined by 17.35% over the past 30 days. Source: CoinMarketCapBitcoin is currently trading at $91,440, according to CoinMarketCap.

Fed rate volatility high in lead up to decisionMarket expectations for a December rate cut were far less bullish just weeks ago.

On Nov. 19, the odds of an interest rate cut at the December meeting plunged to 33%, only weeks after investors placed the odds of a December rate cut at about 67% during the first week of November.

However, just a couple of days later, on Nov. 21, the odds nearly doubled to 69.40% after 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 had “massively increased.”

Following the first rate cut of 2025 in September and another cut in November, markets broadly expected the Federal Reserve to continue easing policy through the end of the year.

Bitcoin has fallen back below the $90,000 level after another wave of selling pressure and leveraged long liquidations, signaling that the market remains firmly on the defensive. Each attempt to stabilize has failed, with sellers quickly overwhelming buyers and forcing price into lower ranges. Fear and uncertainty continue to dominate sentiment, and traders increasingly prepare for the possibility of a deeper continuation of the downtrend as volatility accelerates.

Amid this weakness, a new signal has started to attract the attention of analysts. According to Maartunn, one of the market’s most respected on-chain researchers, old coins are waking up again. Dormant Bitcoin—specifically coins held for 3 to 5 years—has begun to move on-chain in noticeable spikes. Historically, this type of activity often reflects structural shifts in holder behavior, appearing during periods of stress, capitulation, or preparation for major market pivots.

While the direction of these moves is not always immediately clear, rising activity among long-dormant coins adds another layer of complexity to an already fragile market. As Bitcoin continues to struggle below $90K, the behavior of these older coins could help determine whether the current decline deepens—or sets the stage for a larger transition ahead.

Old Coins Start Moving as Macro Fear Collides With Policy Shifts
Maartunn highlights a notable rise in activity from 3–5 year-old Bitcoin, a cohort that typically remains dormant unless underlying conditions begin to shift. The Spent Output Age Bands show a sharp increase, jumping from 2,030 BTC earlier today to 3,475 BTC now. These spikes rarely happen randomly. Maartunn believes that “something’s stirring beneath the surface,” suggesting that long-term holders may be reacting to mounting market stress—or positioning ahead of a potential macro inflection.

This awakening of older coins comes at a moment filled with conflicting signals. Fear around Tether’s reserves has resurfaced, sparking concerns over liquidity stability across exchanges. At the same time, renewed headlines about a supposed China Bitcoin ban have circulated again, despite offering no new policy information. These narratives have added yet another layer of anxiety to an already fragile market.

Yet the macro backdrop also contains reasons for cautious optimism. The Federal Reserve is expected to bring its quantitative tightening (QT) program to an end, and markets are increasingly pricing in a potential interest rate cut this December. Such shifts historically improve liquidity conditions and support risk assets.

As long-term coins begin to move and macro forces pull in opposite directions, Bitcoin enters a complex environment—one that could precede either deeper volatility or the early stages of a larger transition.

Bitcoin Struggles to Recover as Daily Trend Remains Firmly Bearish
Bitcoin’s 1-day chart continues to reveal a market trapped in a strong downtrend, with price failing to reclaim the key moving averages that define higher-timeframe momentum. After breaking down from the $115,000 region, BTC plunged directly through the 50 SMA, 100 SMA, and 200 SMA, creating a steep momentum shift that sellers still control.

The current price action around $86,000–$88,000 shows hesitation and a lack of follow-through from bulls, even after several attempts to rebound.

BTC struggling to push above $90K | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView
The 50 and 100 SMAs both slope sharply downward, confirming a bearish trend structure. Meanwhile, the 200 SMA has flattened and now sits far above price, highlighting just how aggressive and extended the selloff has been. BTC continues to print lower highs and lower lows, a clear signal that the market has not yet found a stable bottom.

Volume spikes on major red candles suggest a mix of forced liquidations and panic-driven exits, while green candles remain smaller and less convincing. The lack of strong buy volume shows that investors remain cautious despite the magnitude of the correction.

If Bitcoin fails to break back above $92,000–$95,000, the market risks another leg lower. The next major supports sit between $80,000 and $78,000, levels that align with previous consolidation zones. For now, the bears still control the daily trend.

In brief
GLNK opened on NYSE Arca as the first U.S. spot Chainlink ETF after converting from a private trust.
Grayscale told Decrypt the launch relied on SEC guidance issued during the government shutdown.
GLNK saw more than 1.17 million shares traded on debut, far above typical volume levels for the product.
Grayscale launched its Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK) on NYSE Arca on Tuesday, becoming the first spot Chainlink exchange-traded product to reach the U.S. market.

The conversion shifts the vehicle from a private trust into an ETF holding Chainlink’s native cryptocurrency, LINK,  as its sole asset, following an amended S-1 filed last month that set the structure for the newly listed product.

Asked about why they chose the chain, a Grayscale representative told Decrypt Chainlink was a natural candidate for an ETF wrapper given how the company has been “a longstanding supporter” of the Chainlink oracle network and the trust’s operation as a private fund since 2021.

The debut marks Grayscale as “the first to offer ETF access to the world of blockchain oracles,” the spokesperson said. It would help investors “engage more directly with this critical layer of blockchain infrastructure,” they added.

Chainlink operates an oracle network “designed to connect smart contracts on any blockchain to real-world data, events and off-chain computation,” a description from GLNK’s prospectus reads. The network “serves as infrastructure for synchronizing on-chain and off-chain information,” it adds.

Grayscale’s debut for its Chainlink ETF follows the same trust conversion pathway used in its DOGE and XRP ETF launches late last month, which began trading on NYSE Arca after clearing similar procedural steps.

Cash-only models require authorized participants to handle more of the buying and selling themselves, as the SEC describes in its official documentation. Those extra costs can show up as wider prices when a new ETF first starts trading.

The SEC’s new listing standards, approved in September, played out as a “key factor” in “enabling” the asset manager to launch the product, Decrypt was told.

“We were able to rely on a pathway outlined by the SEC at the onset of the government shutdown,” to submit their filing for GLNK, the company said.

Grayscale shared with Decrypt an SEC statement on how it proceeded to qualify pending registration statements despite the shutdown, which lasted several weeks and affected liquidity for the broader crypto market.

That move “triggered a 20-day window at the end of which the product became automatically effective,” Decrypt was told.

When asked about their assessment of early trading conditions, the Grayscale spokesperson said: “So far, trading volume has been very positive,” in a message sent around Tuesday noon in New York, several hours into the product’s debut.

GLNK closed its launch day at $11.89, up 5.8%, with after-hours trading lifting it to about $12, according to Yahoo Finance data.

Volume reached 1.17 million shares, far above its average of roughly 42,000, indicating outsized first-day interest and active price discovery as the newly listed ETF transitioned from OTC markets to NYSE Arca.

Grayscale claimed it is seeing “enthusiasm from a range of investors,” while secondary market activity appears to align with that sentiment.

A six-year data review shows five large and mid-cap cryptocurrencies often gain during December. However, their “Santa rally” success is clustered in specific bull and recovery years, not every Christmas.

The analysis covers December performance from 2019 to 2024. It focuses on USD returns for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Litecoin and Monero.

Bitcoin: Big December Moves in Bull CyclesBitcoin delivered its strongest December in 2020, rising about 48% from roughly $19,700 to $29,000. It posted another solid December gain in 2023, adding about 12% as ETF optimism returned.

By contrast, Bitcoin fell about 5% in December 2019 and nearly 19% in 2021. It slipped around 4% in 2022 and slightly over 3% in 2024.

The pattern is clear. Bitcoin’s December rallies appear mainly in strong bull or recovery phases, not during tightening or late-cycle stress.

Around Christmas, the biggest moves usually came after the holiday. In 2020 and 2023, the week after Christmas outperformed the week before.

BREAKING: Bitcoin is on track for its biggest daily gain since May 2025, nearing $91,000, as levered short liquidations surge.

In the last 60 minutes alone, ~$140 million of shorts have been liquidated compared to just ~$3 million of longs.

Ethereum: Follows Bitcoin’s Cycle, With Strong 2020 and 2023Ethereum showed a similar December profile to Bitcoin, with standout gains in 2020 and 2023. In December 2020, ETH climbed about 21%, from around $615 to $750.

During December 2023, Ethereum added roughly 11%, tracking the broader market recovery. Both rallies coincided with improving macro sentiment and stronger network activity.

Yet Ethereum fell sharply in bearish or late-cycle years. It dropped about 15% in December 2019, 20% in 2021 and around 8% in 2024, with a smaller 8% decline in 2022.

Overall, Ethereum tends to rally in December when liquidity is ample and risk appetite is high. When macro conditions tighten, its December performance turns negative quickly.

BNB: Explosive December Rallies in 2020 and 2023The formerly labeled Binance Coin shows some of the most dramatic December gains in the dataset. BNB rose about 19% in December 2020 as Binance volumes surged late in the bull run.

Its biggest move came in December 2023, jumping roughly 37% from around $228 to $312. That rally followed improving clarity around Binance’s legal position and a rebound in spot volumes.

However, BNB also suffered heavy December drawdowns. It fell about 13% in 2019, 18% in 2021 and another 18% in 2022 during exchange-related FUD.

BNB’s December record is high beta. When sentiment swings positive, its rallies outpace Bitcoin, but its losses are deeper in stress periods.

Litecoin: Classic High-Beta December PlayLitecoin behaved like a leveraged bet on the market’s December mood. Its strongest month was December 2020, when LTC surged about 42%, from roughly $88 to $125.

That move tracked Bitcoin’s breakout and followed greater payment support, including PayPal’s crypto rollout. It cemented Litecoin’s role as a “digital silver” trade during bull-market holidays.

Litecoin then struggled in later years. It dropped about 13% in 2019, nearly 30% in 2021 and around 12% in 2022.

Even so, it posted modest gains of about 5% in December 2023 and an estimated 7% in 2024. These smaller rallies show Litecoin still benefits from late-year risk-on phases, especially around halving narratives.

Monero: Quiet but Consistent Holiday StrengthMonero stands out for its defensive but positive December pattern. It rose around 15% in December 2020 and roughly 9% in December 2022 while many coins fell.

Monero also gained about 10% in December 2023, moving from the mid-$160s toward $180. Its December drawdowns in other years were relatively mild compared with major altcoins.

This resilience likely reflects steady transactional demand and its privacy use case. Monero tends to act as a defensive crypto asset during periods of exchange or regulatory fear.

Across 2019–2024, Monero avoided extreme December crashes and often finished the month higher. That makes it one of the more consistent late-year performers among mid-cap coins.

Santa Rallies Are Selective, Not GuaranteedThe data shows these five coins have delivered multiple strong Decembers, especially in 2020 and 2023.

However, every coin also logged negative December returns in at least one year.

Rallies cluster in bullish macro environments and recovery phases. Meanwhile, bear-market Decembers reward more defensive assets like Monero and, at times, Litecoin.

For traders, the message is clear. Historical December strength exists, but each year’s macro backdrop and project-specific news still decide whether Christmas turns green.

Chainlink is approaching a decisive moment as its price compresses within a well-defined triangle structure. The pattern remains strong, but the market is signaling that a major move is imminent. Everything now hinges on a single trendline break, one that will determine whether LINK is ready to reverse higher or sink into a deeper correction.

B-Wave Extension Back In Focus: Is The Triangle Still Intact?
According to crypto analyst More Crypto Online in a recent update on Chainlink, it is crucial to step back and examine the bigger picture of the asset’s price action. The analyst believes the market is likely still extending the yellow B-wave correction. At the moment, the analyst is considering that this B-wave may be unfolding as a complex triangle pattern, as seen in the “yellow scenario.”

Despite the triangle hypothesis, the analyst emphasizes that there is currently no evidence that a definitive low has formed. To confirm a structural reversal, LINK requires a clear 1-2 setup to the upside, which would signal the start of a new impulsive trend. As stated in previous updates, a confirmed bottom hinges on a break above the first yellow trendline.

LINK B-wave is expanding | Source: Chart from More Crypto Online on X
The triangle pattern, which typically unfolds as a 5-wave structure (A–B–C–D–E), remains valid for now, without a confirmed low. This pattern suggests that the price will continue to consolidate sideways, trapping both bulls and bears. 

More Crypto Online defined the critical invalidation point for the primary count. If the price were to break below the Monday, April 4th, low at $10.20, the current triangle microstructure would be entirely invalidated. Meanwhile, the broader B-wave correction would still be theoretically possible, but would likely unfold in a different structural path.

Critical Support Cluster: $10.70, $8.94, And $6.90 In Focus
More Crypto Online went further to highlight the next crucial support levels if the current triangle structure fails, which are located at $10.70, $8.94, and $6.90. The analyst cautioned that a definitive break below the $6.90 mark would significantly increase the probability of an alternative scenario for Chainlink: the unfolding of a larger degree Wave 4.

For now, the immediate focus is on how the price reacts within the key Fibonacci support zone defined by the boundaries of $6.90 and $10.70. The analyst concluded by stating the necessary condition for a structural low: the earliest sign of a reversal would be a break above the yellow trendline. Until that happens, the trendline continues to act as firm resistance, keeping the local downtrend structurally intact and signaling that caution remains necessary.

The consensus is leaning heavily toward the Bitcoin price heading into another drawn-out bear market after hitting its $126,000 all-time high back in October. However, some analysts have shared that this will not happen in a straight line. But rather, there will be short relief rallies that send the price higher before moving into the next phase of the bear market. One of these analysts is TradingShot, who has shared what they refer to as ‘realistic’ price targets that the Bitcoin price can still hit before slipping fully into the bear market.

Bitcoin’s Tendency To Recover
TradingShot’s analysis does not go against the idea of a bear market, but rather points to the fact that Bitcoin is yet to enter a new Bull Cycle. The analysis focuses on the sell-offs that the cryptocurrency has suffered since hitting its all-time high, pushing it into a bearish leg. The analyst draws similarities between the current market structure and what was seen in the market decline between January 20 and April 7, showing that they are both part of a “Channel Up” formation.

Another interesting fact about the current trend is the fact that, just like the January-April trend, it has also completed a 1-Day MACD Bullish Cross. This was a formation that led to a brief recovery back in March, and the same could be the case this time around.

Such a rally, the analyst explains, is known as a counter-trend rally, and another one could be underway. If this is the case, then the Bitcoin price could be gearing up to retest the Lower Highs trendline, putting the contact points at significantly higher price levels than Bitcoin is currently trending at.

The Targets That Could Materialize
In the event that this Bitcoin price counter-trend rally does play out, TradingShot outlines two major targets that the cryptocurrency could hit. The first of these lies at $95,850, which coincides with the 0.382 Fibonacci level. This level is the rejection point for the April 2025 rally, making it an important play.

Above this first target lies the second and final target of $106,450. This target, interestingly, lies outside of the Lower Highs trendline, but remains a viable option. It would occur in a situation where the Bitcoin price makes contact with the 1D MA200. The analyst explains that “This is where the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level is, which was also Target 2 for the April fractal and where the second consolidation took place.”

Dogecoin is attempting to steady itself, but expecting a confirmed trend reversal at this stage is premature. The price action remains trapped within a clear descending pattern, with every short-lived bounce quickly met by strong selling pressure. The recent lift from the $0.13–$0.14 support area looks more like a technical reaction than true bullish momentum. DOGE continues to trade below the 20-day, 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, all aligned in a textbook bearish formation and pointing lower. This setup typically indicates that sellers still control the market, and it rarely unwinds quickly.

The key barrier that traders are watching sits between $0.155 and $0.16. This resistance zone has repeatedly rejected upward attempts and represents the midpoint of the most recent decline. Unless buyers can reclaim and hold this level, discussions about a meaningful reversal remain speculative. A breakout would not automatically signal the start of a sustained bull trend, but it would at least show that bearish momentum is weakening and that buyers are beginning to challenge the prevailing downtrend.

External market conditions remain a major factor. Dogecoin historically does not move independently during broad market stress, and Bitcoin’s current weakness reinforces downward pressure. BTC is still entrenched in its own extended downtrend, and each failed bounce tends to spill over into assets like DOGE. As long as Bitcoin struggles against heavy resistance or continues drifting lower, meme coins are likely to remain suppressed, with limited liquidity and waning speculative interest.

So, is Dogecoin’s downtrend ending? At the moment, the charts show no confirmed signs of a reversal. Unless Bitcoin stages a meaningful recovery rally, DOGE will likely continue exhibiting sideways-to-down price action. Short-term pops may occur, but without broader market strength, they remain temporary bounces rather than the start of a new trend.

In brief
DOJ said the tickmilleas.com domain was operated from the Tai Chang compound and used to present fake trading balances to victims.
Google, Apple and Meta removed linked apps and accounts after FBI alerts, targeting thousands of associated profiles.
The action follows sanctions on Cambodia’s Huione Group, which has been forced to wind down operations after losing access to global banking channels.
U.S. agents seized a web domain tied to a major scam compound in Burma on Tuesday, marking the latest push to disrupt fraud networks that have spread across Southeast Asia.

The announcement came the same day a sanctioned financial conglomerate in Cambodia shut its Phnom Penh branches and froze withdrawals under mounting pressure from U.S. and U.K. regulators.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the domain tickmilleas.com was operated from the Tai Chang compound, also known as Casino Kosai, in Kyaukhat, and was set up to appear to be a legitimate trading platform.

Scammers allegedly showed victims fake balances and impressive-looking returns, and instructed them on how to deposit funds.

“Despite the seized domain being registered in early November 2025, the FBI already identified multiple victims who used the domain in the last month and were scammed out of their investments,” the DOJ said in a statement.

A “compound scam” refers to scam operations run from large buildings (or compounds) where trafficked or coerced workers carry out online fraud.

Officials linked the Burma compound to groups sanctioned last month for ties to Chinese organized crime and for helping build out scam centers in the region.

After the FBI alerted tech platforms, Google and Apple removed related mobile apps, and Meta took down more than 2,000 associated social media accounts.

“These CIF scams, such as the ones described by victims in the affidavit, typically begin through unsolicited outreach from strangers over dating applications, social media, messaging applications, and text messages,” the DOJ wrote.

“These strangers form close virtual relationships with their victim targets, convince them to make purported investments in or using cryptocurrency, and direct victims on how to purchase cryptocurrency and invest it using fraudulent domains and applications that appear legitimate,” it added.

The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Decrypt.

Last year, the DOJ said, more than 41,000 cases of cryptocurrency investment fraud were reported, with losses reaching $5.8 billion.

The domain seizure and sanctions against Huione Group this week showed U.S. agencies and their partners are widening their campaign to cut off crypto schemes in the region.

After regulators imposed sanctions on the Huione Group, a conglomerate linked to billions of dollars in illicit transactions, the organization was forced to close its doors following its removal from the global banking system in October.

According to the DOJ, prosecutors have already seized two other domains linked to the Tai Chang compound in recent weeks.

Last month, a report by the Interpol General Assembly said crypto fraud was at the core of the growing scam-compound industry.

“Often under the pretext of lucrative overseas jobs, victims are trafficked into compounds where they are forced to carry out illicit schemes such as voice phishing, romance scams, investment fraud, and cryptocurrency scams targeting individuals worldwide,” the organization said.

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB), a crypto industry group, says it has filed a formal complaint against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, to correct a recent article contained several misrepresentations and factual errors about Bitcoin. 

In its complaint, ABIB claimed that the article painted Bitcoin (BTC) as volatile, a tool for criminals, and ignored the benefits of Bitcoin for energy grids and humanitarian purposes. 

“The article misrepresented Bitcoin’s purpose, conflated it with criminal activity, omitted long-standing publicly available information, and relied on sensational language rather than evidence to inform readers,” ABIB alleges. 

“It ignored well-documented global and local use cases… [and] effectively reduced its coverage to outdated & misleading tropes, and narratives on price swings and US politics.”The ABIB said on X that the “one-sided framing” breached the broadcaster’s editorial policies and code of conduct. Its complaint outlines which sections of the article it wants corrected and which editorial policy has been breached. Under its code of practice, the ABC has 60 days to respond to the complaint. 

The ABC is the country’s national public broadcaster, funded by the Australian federal government, and administered by a government-appointed board of directors. Its monthly readership was estimated to be over 12 million in October, according to the digital audience‑measurement system, Ipsos Iris. 

ABC told Cointelegraph it was not aware of the complaint at this time. 

Source: Australian Bitcoin Industry BodyIn the event the broadcaster doesn’t respond, or the ABIB is dissatisfied with the remedy, the matter can be escalated to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which has the option to open an investigation, and if a breach is found, take enforcement actions, such as a warning, infringement notice or make a licensing decision. 

Only 0.14% of onchain txs are criminalThe ABC article, published on Tuesday, portrayed Bitcoin as a valuable tool for criminals, despite fiat currency still being more frequently used for illicit activities. 

“While Bitcoin remains on the radar as a useful tool for those operating in the shadows — including crime gangs dealing drugs or weapons and shady governments needing to shift reserves — this role has been usurped by stablecoins, particularly one known as Tether,” the article stated. 

A January report from blockchain data platform Chainalysis proves this wrong. It found that just 0.14% of total onchain transaction volume was connected to possible criminal activity in 2024. Compared to fiat, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that the global criminal proceeds make up an average of 3.6% of global domestic product.

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body argues that several claims about Bitcoin in the ABC article are incorrect or misrepresented. Source: ABCBitcoin seen as a store of wealth Other claims in the ABC article are that Bitcoin has never achieved any of its stated goals and has no practical purpose; it is rarely used in legitimate transactions and is no longer considered a reliable store of wealth. 

The ABC article also argued that Bitcoin has never achieved any of its stated goals, has no practical purpose and isn’t considered a store of wealth. Source: ABCHowever, institutional adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has been accelerating over the last two years through investment vehicles like exchange-traded funds and digital asset treasuries. 

BitBo estimates publicly traded and private companies, ETFs and countries hold over 3.7 million Bitcoin, worth over $341 billion. 

At the same time, banks and investment managers, even those who were once skeptical, have begun to make slow advances in the space. 

On Monday, Vanguard, the world’s second-largest asset manager, announced that it would start allowing its clients to trade crypto ETFs on its platform, reversing its previous stance.

Crypto misinformation is a problem in MSM, says lobbyMarket intelligence firm Perception released a July report on mainstream media coverage on crypto in Q2, and found that 31% of the articles published by the 18 outlets it observed for the study were positive, 41% were neutral, and 28% were negative. 

ABIB said members of the public frequently contact it about misrepresentation of Bitcoin in Australian media, particularly from publicly funded institutions. 

“Bitcoin deserves informed, responsible coverage, not dismissal through outdated narratives,” the industry body said.

Canton Network began the week with a bullish outlook, following several institutional partnerships formed over the past few weeks. However, the rally failed to hold.

CC continues to decline, more noticeably over the past three days, as investor sentiment shifts. The 12% drop over the last 24 hours has become more threatening, increasing the risk of a move toward an all-time low.

CC risks an all-time low
Canton Network [CC] has slipped below a key support level that the market had been watching for a potential rebound.

This support, marked in black, previously prevented the price from dropping further, even after forming a brief doji candlestick.

However, the level failed to hold. A decisive bearish candle closed below it, precisely at $0.084.

Source: TradingView

The current candle remains bearish, with another downward candlestick in formation, moving toward the last support level on the chart at $0.072.

A decisive break below this zone would imply that CC could reach an all-time low on the chart, with the possibility of a much steeper decline.

Momentum continues to fade
Momentum is fading, although the possibility of a rebound is not completely off the table.

The Accumulation/Distribution indicator shows that investors continue to sell, as the A/D line trends lower on the chart.

Total trading volume has now reached 643,000 CC, highlighting the depth of selling pressure, with investors willing to exit at lower price levels.

Source: TradingView

However, a unique dynamic is emerging. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has also ticked upward, with the indicator pushing above the 0 mark.

This movement suggests that some buying activity remains present in the market, indicating that sentiment is not entirely bearish, and a rebound is still possible.

There is an increased likelihood of a short-term relief move, as overall market sentiment continues to shift, particularly in the derivatives market.

Market sentiment shows rebound tendencies 
In the derivatives market, despite significant outflows, the impact is yet to fully reflect in trader positioning.

Open Interest has declined by 10% to around $12 million on the chart. However, the Weighted Funding Rate has remained positive, currently sitting near 0.0003%. This suggests that buying pressure still exists in the market.

Source: CoinGlass

A key factor to monitor will be whether the Open Interest-Weighted Funding Rate remains positive into the next session.

If it does, it may indicate early signs of bullish revival, accompanied by fresh capital inflows or investors reallocating existing capital to support a potential upward move.

Final Thoughts

CC remains at a support level, not far from establishing a new all-time high, as expected institutional partnerships fail to gain traction.
Capital flight continues to intensify, with liquidity moving toward safe-haven assets and adding further pressure on the market.

Noted economist Peter Schiff said on Tuesday that gold’s intrinsic value stems from tangible properties as opposed to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), which he deemed “purely subjective.”

Schiff Says Bitcoin Has No Utility Beyond BeliefIn an X post, Schiff refuted claims by Bitcoin advocates that gold’s value is subjective.

“Gold has objective value as a metal with conductivity, malleability, corrosion resistance, and real industrial and commercial uses,” the Bitcoin critic stated.

He contrasted this with Bitcoin, which he argued has “no utility beyond belief” and is “purely subjective.”

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo countered Schiff, stating that the tangible properties instead undermine gold’s role as a monetary ledger. Woo argued that silver is “worse.”

Bullion Market Outshines BitcoinUndeniably, Bitcoin has underperformed compared to the two precious metals over the past year or so.

However, over the last five years, the apex cryptocurrency has grown by 385%, far exceeding gold and silver.

Schiff And CZ Ready To Lock HornsInterestingly, Schiff’s remarks come just ahead of his debate with Binance (CRYPTO: BNB) founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao at the Binance Blockchain week, which will focus on Bitcoin versus tokenized gold.

CZ poked fun at Schiff, who cheered silver’s rally past $58 and said it’s “just getting started.”

“Warm up debate: according to ChatGPT, silver “started” at least 2600 years ago, around 600 BC, if not 1000 years earlier,” CZ said.

Brookifeld Infrastructure has been a surprisingly poor performer in recent years.

Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC +2.94%)(BIP +1.18%) is a leading global investor in infrastructure assets. It owns premier infrastructure operations spanning the utility, energy midstream, transportation, and data segments.

Here's a look at how shares of Brookfield Infrastructure have performed over the past five years compared to the S&P 500 and what impacted the infrastructure stock's returns.

Brookfield Infrastructure's five-year performance
Brookfield Infrastructure's stock hasn't done anything for investors over the past several years:

Data source: Ycharts.

As that table shows, the infrastructure operator has significantly underperformed the S&P 500 in each period.

However, the company's stock returns don't tell the whole story because Brookfield pays a high-yielding and steadily rising dividend. The company's payout currently yields 3.8%, more than double the S&P 500 (1.2% yield). Brookfield has also increased its dividend for 16 straight years, growing the payout at a 9% compound annual rate. Despite its attractive and steadily rising income stream, Brookfield's total return has still fallen well short of the S&P 500 over the last several years:

S&P 500

Data source: Ycharts.

What impacted Brookfield Infrastructure's returns?
Brookfield Infrastructure's poor stock performance in recent years is somewhat puzzling, given its financial results during that period. In 2020, Brookfield generated $1.5 billion or $2.09 per share of funds from operations (FFO). This year, the company expects to produce $2.6 billion or $3.32 per share of FFO, implying compound annual growth rates of 13% and 10%, respectively. Brookfield has grown its earnings faster than the dividend payment, resulting in its dividend payout ratio falling from 78% to 67%.

With earnings rising and its share price stagnant, Brookfield Infrastructure's valuation has gotten significantly cheaper over the years. It currently trades at about 13.5 times its FFO, down from about 21.5 times five years ago.

Today's Change

(

%) $

Current Price

$

46.25

While Brookfield has grown briskly in recent years, it has faced some headwinds. A strong U.S. dollar has caused its FFO to grow more slowly on a constant currency basis, as it would have delivered 12% compound annual FFO per share growth without this headwind. Additionally, higher borrowing costs due to rising interest rates have reduced its annual FFO per share by 2% to 3%.

On a more positive note, those headwinds should fade in the coming years. The Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates, while the U.S. dollar could weaken over the next few years. Additionally, Brookfield has significantly increased its organic project backlog (from $2 billion in 2020 to $8 billion today). As a result, its FFO per share growth rate appears poised to reaccelerate in the coming years, potentially rising toward its long-term average of 14% annually.

Valuation matters
Brookfield traded at a premium valuation five years ago. As a result, its stock has delivered an underwhelming performance since then as headwinds slowed its growth rate.

However, it trades at a much cheaper valuation these days. With its growth rate poised to reaccelerate, Brookfield could deliver much higher total returns for investors over the next several years.

Nextpower has just changed its name from Nextracker; this is a bigger shift than it may seem at first.

Nextpower (NXT 0.96%) offers a product that may seem straightforward, but it provides a significant benefit to its customers. That helps explain why the company has a $5 billion backlog at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, ended Sept. 26, 2025, up from $4.75 billion at the end of the first quarter. There is a lot to like about Nextpower, but there's also a notable reason to tread cautiously. Here's what you need to know.

What does Nextpower do?
Not too long ago, Nextpower was known as Nextracker. The old name made a great deal of sense, given that the company's primary product is technology that helps solar panels move to track the sun. It sounds like an easy thing to do, but it's more complicated than you may think. Nextpower's product is well respected, which is why it was able to increase its backlog by $250 million in a quarter.

Image source: Getty Images.

It is important to consider what that backlog represents. Essentially, the figure is sales that have been made for which product has yet to be delivered. Indeed, it is a spotlight on future revenues. However, the company's ability to grow its backlog means that it added more sales to the backlog than it delivered products to customers. It suggests that demand for Nextpower's products is strong.

That's good news, but there's another important factor to consider here, too. The company carries no debt on its balance sheet with around $845 million in cash. That is a very strong financial position.

Wall Street is aware of the company's business success, given that its shares have risen over 280% since its initial public offering in early 2023. And yet the stock's price-to-earnings ratio of 23.7 doesn't seem particularly outlandish. In fact, management updated its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance for revenue, earnings under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and GAAP earnings per share when it reported second-quarter earnings, slightly increasing each figure. The adjusted earnings range was narrowed, which isn't quite as positive, but the low end was raised, suggesting an improved outlook.

Nextpower's name change is a big deal
If you are a more aggressive growth investor, Nextpower is likely worth a closer look. However, the company's name change is notable because it accompanies a corporate decision to move beyond the core technology the company sells. Going forward, Nextpower will also sell structural and electrical components.

Currently, the new business lines represent a small portion of the overall business, projected to account for approximately 13% of the income statement's top line in fiscal 2026. However, the new business lines are expected to grow to roughly a third of the business by the end of fiscal 2030, which is about three and a half years away. That will likely account for a material amount of the growth that management expects for the entire company over that span.

Today's Change

(

-0.96

%) $

-0.84

Current Price

$

86.60

There is material execution risk for investors to consider. Nextpower is still a relatively young company and doesn't have a particularly extensive track record. While all of the new business lines are adjacent to its core tracking technology, management could be biting off more than it can chew, given the scope of the business expansion that's underway. Conservative investors will likely want to monitor the company's progress for a while before jumping aboard.

Nextpower: A company for risk takers
All investments come with risk. Nextpower appears to have a very solid core business, so the significant risk lies in the new businesses into which it is expanding. While it has the financial strength to withstand a few missteps as a company, investors are likely to view undesirable expansion results negatively. That could lead to a pullback in the stock, even though the valuation doesn't seem outlandish right now. In other words, it is a young and interesting stock that is most appropriate for aggressive growth investors. Viewed through that lens, the risk/reward balance seems fairly reasonable.

GitLab Inc. (GTLB) Q3 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

, /PRNewswire/ --

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR) between March 5, 2024 and October 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important December 29, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Avantor common stock 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 Avantor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47303 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 December 29, 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, 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, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Avantor's competitive positioning was weaker than defendants had publicly represented; (2) Avantor was experiencing negative effects from increased competition; and (3) as a result, defendants' representations about Avantor's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Avantor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47303 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.
