, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that the Synopsys class action lawsuit – captioned Kim v. Synopsys, Inc., No. 25-cv-09410 (N.D. Cal.) – charges Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) and certain Synopsys top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Sypnosis class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Lead plaintiff motions for the Sypnosis class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than December 30, 2025, 2025.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Synopsys provides electronic design automation software products used to design and test integrated circuits. Synopsys operates in two segments, Design Automation and Design IP.

The Synopsys class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the class period failed to disclose that: (i) the extent to which Synopsys' increased focus on artificial intelligence customers, which require additional customization, was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business; (ii) as a result, "certain road map and resource decisions" were unlikely to "yield their intended results"; and (iii) the foregoing had a material negative impact on financial results.

The Synopsys investor class action further alleges that on September 9, 2025 Synopsys released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing that Synopsys' "IP business underperformed expectations." Specifically, the complaint alleges that Synopsys reported 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 third quarter 2024. Synopsys also reported 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 provided guidance which implied that Design IP revenues will decline by at least 5% on a full-year basis in fiscal 2025, the Synopsys shareholder class action alleges. On this news, Synopsys' stock price fell by nearly 36%, the complaint alleges.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Synopsys securities during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Synopsys class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Synopsys class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Synopsys class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Synopsys class action lawsuit.

Sei (SEI) token's value plummets by over 7% following its listing on Robinhood, amid a broader crypto market downturn and technical indicators suggesting further declines.

The recent listing of Sei (SEI) on Robinhood, a prominent $125 billion trading platform, did not yield the expected price surge for the cryptocurrency. Instead, the token experienced a significant price drop, falling by over 7% on October 30, 2025, according to CoinMarketCap.

Market Trends and Technical Analysis
Despite being made accessible to millions of Robinhood clients across the United States and other countries, the SEI token's price decline aligns with a broader slump in the cryptocurrency market. Technical analysis indicates potential further downside, with Sei's value already plummeting to $0.1835, marking a decline of more than 50% from its peak value in August. Additionally, the token has fallen by over 75% from its highs in November of the previous year.

Impact of Robinhood Listing
Historically, cryptocurrencies tend to rally following listings on major platforms like Robinhood. However, Sei's recent performance deviates from this trend, largely attributed to the prevailing negative sentiment in the crypto market. This downturn has overshadowed the positive impact typically associated with such listings.

Broader Market Influence
The decline in Sei's price is symptomatic of the broader challenges facing the cryptocurrency market. Factors such as regulatory uncertainties, macroeconomic conditions, and investor sentiment continue to exert pressure on digital assets, contributing to their volatile nature.

Future Prospects for Sei
While the current trajectory suggests more challenges ahead, the future of the SEI token remains uncertain. Market dynamics, technological advancements, and strategic developments within the Sei ecosystem could potentially influence its recovery and long-term growth.

TL;DR Steak ‘n Shake and Fold launched a campaign across 400 U.S. locations offering $5 in Bitcoin for every meal purchase. The chain created a

Chainlink (LINK) rebounded strongly late Wednesday after a volatile trading session triggered by Federal Reserve comments sent shockwaves through the broader crypto market. The decentralized oracle network's native token bounced back from intraday lows, signaling early signs of accumulation even as technical indicators remain mixed.

With S2F in the rearview, the live power-law channel indicates that BTC is roughly 20% below fair value, but ETF flows could push it to either extreme.

Bitbo’s implementation of Giovanni Santostasi’s model places the price near $109,700, the fair value near $136,100, the support near $48,300, and the resistance near $491,800, which frames the current cycle within a rising corridor derived from a power-law fit to price over time.

The channel is constructed by running a linear regression of log(price) versus log(time since genesis), then duplicating that line in parallel to form upper and lower bounds that have historically contained cyclical extremes.

The result is a time-based compounding curve with rails that move upward as time passes, making the model more of a location map than a point forecast.

Bitcoin Power Law (Source: BiTBO)The core claim is simple to evaluate in live markets. Bitcoin trades about 20 percent below the fair-value regression and more than twice above the model’s floor, a mid-zone placement that contrasts with prior cycle tops and bottoms when the price tagged the channel’s resistance or support.

Parameterization used by BGeometrics expresses the fair-value curve as P ≈ 1.0117×10^-17 × (days since genesis)^5.82, with a commonly referenced floor at about 0.42 times the curve, which is consistent with the present gap between spot price and Bitbo’s lower rail.

The specification includes historical drawdowns while allowing for late-cycle overextensions toward the upper band.

The logic behind this approach treats adoption as a power function of time and expects volatility to decay as the network matures, a property that appears as tightening oscillations around the regression line over successive cycles.

Bitcoin holds its power-law lane as ETFs rewrite the cycleRecent flows help explain why the price is in the channel’s middle rather than at an extreme. Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) drew a record $5.95 billion in net inflows during the week ending October 4, 2025, with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high of approximately $126,000, alongside strong demand for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The following two weeks showed that flows are not a one-way input. CoinShares recorded a swing to $3.17 billion of net inflows, followed by a reversal to $513 million of net outflows, including a single-week Bitcoin outflow of $946 million.

Over the last two days alone, $958 million has exited US Bitcoin ETFs, with $290 million leaving BlackRock on October 30.

That cadence is consistent with the power-law framing, where transitory demand surges or air pockets push price toward the upper or lower rails over weeks, while the long-run trajectory is anchored to the time-based power curve. October highs were tied to the breakout wave of ETF subscriptions, which are now a visible macro lever for crypto demand.

The forward question, therefore, is not whether the power-law structure still applies, but where within the channel Bitcoin will trade over the next leg.

A base-case path keeps the price oscillating around the regression, currently near $136,100, with a dampened amplitude if the volatility decay property holds.

A bull-case path would see continued ETF inflows and benign macro conditions pull the price toward the upper resistance, near $491,800 today, which prior cycles reached during late-stage runs.

A bear-case scenario would arise from macro tightening, a regulatory shock, or persistent ETF outflows that drive a retest of the lower rail near $48,300. This level has historically seen capitulation wicks before reentry into the channel.

These levels rise with time as the exponent on days since genesis compounds. The rails are directional guardrails, not fixed targets.

For readers tracking levels at a glance, the live model ranges are:

MeasureLevelSpot price≈ $109,700Fair-value regression≈ $136,100Support (floor band)≈ $48,300Resistance (upper band)≈ $491,800The debate over model choice is shaped by the breakdown of the once-popular Stock-to-Flow approach.PlanB’s S2F path called for $98,000 by November 2021 and $135,000 by December 2021, targets that were not met.

The price then spent years below the S2F trajectory, an out-of-sample failure that weakened confidence in using a univariate stock-to-flow ratio to set deterministic targets.

Vitalik Buterin has criticized S2F for providing false precision, and many analysts have identified methodological issues, including overfitting, the omission of demand and liquidity variables, and the treatment of halvings as step-wise valuation shifts that do not account for market microstructure.

Institutional researchers continue to caution that S2F is not a reliable tool for long-term pricing. That leaves S2F as a scarcity narrative rather than a forecasting model.

Stock-to-Flow Bitcoin Model (Source: BiTBO)Power-law adherents, by contrast, argue that the cycle length and amplitude can be bounded without hard-dating outcomes.

CryptoSlate has previously outlined broad windows in which Bitcoin would not sustain prices below roughly six figures after 2028 and could, at some point between 2028 and 2037, touch the seven-figure mark.

Those are ranges, not calendar calls, and they inherit the same caveats as any model that ignores policy shocks or structural changes in market access.

The new structural change is ETF flow, which functions as a demand valve that can overpower the marginal issuance cuts that halvings encode.

Sustained weekly spot inflows above $2 billion to $3 billion would raise the odds of an upper-band test, while persistent outflows would increase the probability of a regression or floor retest.

Macro liquidity, including the path of rates, the dollar, and central bank balance sheets, still takes center stage in determining whether the price holds above the regression or drifts toward the lower rail. That macro overlay is absent in S2F and is only indirectly present in the power-law fit, which is why practitioners track flows and policy alongside the channel.

Method clarity is crucial given the model’s increasing use in institutional decks.The power-law channel is constructed by taking daily BTCUSD closes, transforming them to log(price) versus log(time since genesis), fitting a simple linear regression as the fair-value curve, and then copying that line up and down in parallel to form resistance and support that historically enclose the price.

The elegance lies in its production of a monotonically rising, time-based framework with a visible margin of error, which, so far, has captured cycle extremes without claiming to know the date or magnitude of future blow-offs.

The cost is that it does not mechanistically incorporate known drivers, such as ETF demand or liquidity cycles, which must be monitored to understand where within the channel price is likely to reside in the near term.

For now, the live read is straightforward. Price sits about one-fifth below the regression, well above the floor, with ETF flows and macroeconomic conditions determining whether Bitcoin tags the upper band or fades toward support before reverting to the mean.

The channel continues to rise with time, and the rails define the tradable map.

Bitcoin (BTC) extended its decline on Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered unexpectedly hawkish remarks during his post-policy meeting press conference. The leading cryptocurrency fell over 5% in 24 hours, dipping below the $110,000 mark, as investors adjusted expectations for near-term rate cuts.

Chainlink’s native token, LINK, rebounded 3.6% on Friday, recovering from Thursday’s losses as traders bought around a key support zone. The cryptocurrency briefly surged past the $17 mark, accompanied by a significant increase in trading activity—over 3 million LINK tokens were exchanged during the morning breakout, signaling renewed accumulation according to CoinDesk Research insights. However, U.S. market hours saw some weakness, pulling LINK back below $17, where it last traded around $16.96.

The bullish momentum coincided with a major announcement from Stellar (XLM), which revealed its plans to integrate Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) along with Data Feeds and Data Streams. This integration will allow developers and institutions building on Stellar to access real-time, trusted cross-chain data infrastructure, enhancing support for tokenized assets and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. With over $5.4 billion in quarterly real-world asset (RWA) transaction volume, Stellar’s move signals a growing demand for secure, interoperable financial ecosystems leveraging Chainlink’s technology.

From a technical standpoint, LINK maintains solid support at $16.37, with upside targets at $17.46 and $18.00. The recent 78% surge in volume during the breakout confirms institutional participation, though strong selling volume later in the session reflected short-term rebalancing. Chart patterns indicate a potential oversold setup, which could attract further accumulation if market sentiment stabilizes.

For traders, holding above $16.89 could set up a retest of the $17.46 resistance level, with potential upside toward $18.00. The downside risk remains limited near the $16.37 support area. Whether LINK extends its rebound will largely depend on broader crypto market flows and sustained dip-buying momentum.

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

Crypto pundit Mickle is reminding the crypto community why XRP still holds an essential place in the digital asset world. He explains that the value of XRP stems from its foundational role in the XRP Ledger. He believes many people misunderstand XRP by comparing it to stablecoins or other tokens, but that view misses the main point. 

Mickle Says XRP’s Value Is ‘Foundational,’ Not Just A Pitch
In a recent X post, Mickle said that most people in crypto still do not understand what makes XRP special. He explained that when people ask, “What’s the current pitch for XRP?” they are asking the wrong question. To him, XRP does not need a sales pitch because its value is foundational. The cryptocurrency doesn’t depend on price movements, short-term excitement, or temporary stories. Instead, it is part of the very system that powers the XRP Ledger.

Mickle compared XRP to well-known cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, noting that they share common traits. They are native, non-issued assets that exist without a counterparty, meaning they are not created or backed by any one company or government. Like these leading cryptocurrencies, XRP provides the liquidity that allows value to move and settle across its decentralized network. According to Mickle, this is what gives XRP a lasting importance. It is not a token that depends on external promises or a central authority, but the heart of a decentralized system that operates independently.

XRP Ledger Depends On XRP’s Native Role In Decentralized Settlement
Mickle also suggests that the XRP Ledger cannot exist or operate without XRP. He said this is what many people miss when they compare XRP to other digital assets. The XRP ledger was built in a way that makes XRP an important part of how value moves and settles across the network. He noted that XRP’s speed, ability to handle many transactions, and connection with other systems make it stand out from most blockchains in the crypto space.

Using Ripple’s payment tools as examples, Mickle showed how XRP plays a key role in helping different kinds of assets, like stablecoins, tokenized assets, and cryptocurrencies, move smoothly across decentralized systems. These tools make it possible to send money anywhere in the world quickly and cheaply, without going through banks or middlemen.

Mickle added that XRP is a native digital asset, while stablecoins are tied to fiat money and rely on traditional financial systems to keep their value. He said this is what makes XRP unique and gives it real independence in the digital economy. 

This distinction, he said, is the very essence of crypto and the reason XRP continues to matter as a foundational digital asset. According to Mickle, understanding this difference is what separates those who genuinely understand crypto from those who do not.

Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength as it edges closer to a potential breakout, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency climbed on higher-than-average trading volume before facing resistance near the $3,860–$3,880 range — a critical zone that traders are watching closely for signs of a bullish continuation.

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlighted Ethereum’s strong fundamentals, noting on X that the network remains the best ecosystem to invest in, driven by active developer participation, expanding products, and powerful network effects. He suggested ETH could soon make a push toward a new all-time high above $5,000 if current momentum holds.

ETH gained 1.5% to $3,822.60, with trading volume up 19.01% compared to the seven-day average, indicating increased market participation. The coin traded between $3,771 and $3,822 during the session, recording higher lows throughout. Momentum peaked at 2 p.m. UTC, with a surge to $3,887.35, followed by a late-session pullback of 1.3% as sellers defended resistance levels.

Support remains strong between $3,680 and $3,720, cushioning early-session weakness, while resistance at $3,860–$3,880 continues to cap upside moves. A decisive reclaim above $3,880 could signal a bullish breakout, potentially retesting the $3,887.35 session high and paving the way toward record territory. Conversely, a drop below $3,720 could shift momentum back to sellers, exposing $3,680 as the next key demand zone.

The CoinDesk 5 Index (CD5) mirrored ETH’s movements, rising from $1,878 to $1,925 before easing to $1,901, suggesting profit-taking across major cryptocurrencies. With buyers active but resistance intact, traders are waiting for a clear move beyond the $3,730–$3,880 range to confirm Ethereum’s next major trend.

This week has seen a significant decline in XRP's on-chain activity, as evidenced by recent data showing that payment volume, a key measure of network utility, has dropped by almost 70%.

XRP transfers between accounts have drastically decreased, according to metrics from over 700 million daily transactions at the beginning of October to about 230 million by the end of the month. Concerns regarding network demand and the general perception of Ripple’s ecosystem are brought up by this sharp decline in transactional flow.

XRP/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe decrease in payment volume points to either a short-term slowdown in remittance or institutional activity, or a more widespread drop in organic usage as the token tries to recover its market share. XRPs on-chain metrics have historically experienced prolonged declines in tandem with periods of price stagnation, and the current situation appears to be no exception.

Technically speaking, XRP is currently trading at about $2.49, just above short-term support but still below significant resistance levels indicated by the 100-day and 200-day  moving averages, which are respectively at about $2.78 and $2.81. The asset’s recent failure to hold above the trendline after attempting to break out of its descending wedge suggests that bearish sentiment is still present.

Momentum is still weak, as indicated by the RSI near 45, which shows a neutral position but leans slightly toward bearish territory. A noticeable slowdown in on-chain throughput, along with market skepticism regarding Ripple’s continuing regulatory environment, may limit XRP’s upside in the near future.

The $2.40-$2.35 area is still important as short-term support for the time being; if it is lost, there may be another correction toward $2.10 or even lower if selling pressure increases. Regaining $2.80, with a verified breakout, on the other hand, would be the first indication of a recovery and a resurgence of network demand.

Shiba Inu is not feeling goodAs the larger cryptocurrency market steadies, Shiba Inu is still having trouble, and is not showing any signs of improving. The token has once again dropped below important short-term support levels, which raises the possibility of additional declines.

SHIB is still trapped in a long, descending channel that has dominated its price action for months, with its current price hovering around $0.0000099. The general trend is still bearish, despite short-term recoveries. Constant selling pressure is highlighted by the recent unsuccessful attempt to break above $0.0000105, a minor resistance line that is in line with the short-term ascending line.

Even worse is the overall technical picture, which shows that SHIB is trading far below its 200-day and 100-day moving averages, which have both served as formidable resistance since September (roughly $0.0000128). Every time the token got close to these thresholds, sellers swiftly took back control and drove the price back down.

At 41, the RSI shows no indications of bullish divergence and weak momentum. Additionally, volume has decreased in comparison to previous spikes, suggesting that market players are becoming disinterested, and that volatility is waning, which frequently signals the start of a subsequent decline.

The next logical support is located close to $0.0000075, where buyers previously intervened during the previous sell-off, if SHIB is unable to hold above that level. Shiba Inu’s ecosystem has essentially slowed down, and on-chain data indicates that big holders haven’t accumulated much. There is little chance that the token will change its direction anytime soon, unless there is a catalyst or new demand.

Ethereum loses $4,000Ethereum is currently trading just below the crucial $4,000 mark, which is both a technical and psychological barrier that may determine the course of the market’s future. Following weeks of oscillation, ETH is currently trading at about $3,850, demonstrating its tenacity in the face of numerous unsuccessful breakout attempts and enduring resistance pressure.

Encircled by the 200-day and 100-day moving averages, the daily chart shows Ethereum’s continuous consolidation between $3,600 and $4,200. Throughout the year, these levels have served as both launch pads and rejection zones. ETH is currently holding onto support close to $3600, which has kept a more severe breakdown at bay thus far.

You Might Also Like

Market caution persists, though, as any decline below this level could expose ETH to a retracement toward $3,400. Momentum measures like the RSI, which is circling 44, are neutral but bearish, indicating that purchasing power is still low. Volume has also decreased, suggesting that traders are unsure and are awaiting a signal.

The crucial $4,000-$4,200 range would need to be reclaimed to signal that bulls are taking back control, and could pave the way for $4,500-$4,800, particularly if Bitcoin stays stable above $110,000. Ethereum’s weakness in comparison to Bitcoin, which has been a recurring theme throughout October, would be confirmed by further rejection around $4,000.

When money moves into BTC and large-cap altcoins with greater momentum, ETH may stay range-bound or gradually decline. Investors should not panic, but rather exercise patience during this time. Although the structure is still in place, Ethereum must close above $4,000 with volume in order to return to a bullish outlook. Until that time comes, ETH is balancing between holding onto support and entering another corrective phase, which makes the $4,000 breakout crucial.

Tech entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk is set to launch a standalone messaging app called “X Chat” to compete with Telegram and WhatsApp, with a rollout expected within the next few months. 

“On X, we just rebuilt the entire messaging stack into what’s called ‘X Chat,’” said Musk during The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which aired on Friday. 

“It’s using a peer-to-peer-based encryption system, kind of similar to Bitcoin. It’s very good encryption; we’re testing it thoroughly.” Musk said he hopes the new messaging app will be released in a “few months,” adding it won’t have any “hooks for advertising” as he pointed to competitors like WhatsApp, which “knows enough about what you’re texting to know what ads to show you,” he said. 

“But then, that’s a massive security vulnerability because if it knows enough information to show you ads, that’s a lot of information,” he said, adding that hackers could use those same “hooks” to read private messages. 

Does WhatsApp read your messages?WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, claims it doesn’t have access to private messages, explaining in its FAQ that messages between people are end-to-end encrypted using the Signal Protocol. This also covers voice messages, media and documents. 

WhatsApp’s FAQ on how its end-to-end encryption works. Source: WhatsAppHowever, it’s understood that “metadata,” such as who you chatted with and how often you talk with them, is not encrypted. WhatsApp also does not automatically encrypt backup copies of your chat history. 

WhatsApp’s FAQ section on “Does WhatsApp collect or sell your data?” skirts answering the latter part of the question, only explaining that “we work with other Meta Companies to help provide, improve and support each other’s services.”

“If you choose to integrate your WhatsApp experience with other Meta products, we will share some information with Meta to make this possible.”

X Chat won’t have these hooks, says Musk Musk promised that X Chat won’t have these advertising “hooks.” 

“I’m not saying it’s perfect, but our goal with X chat is to replace what used to be the Twitter DM stack with a fully encrypted system where you can text, send files, do audio video calls, and I think it will be the least insecure of any messaging system.”

He added that the messaging app will be available as part of the X platform and as its own standalone app.

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has once again reaffirmed his unwavering confidence in Bitcoin (BTC) despite the cryptocurrency’s recent price decline. Addressing the ongoing market turbulence, Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin’s long-term potential remains intact, even as a new sell-off cycle emerges. His message resonated strongly within the crypto community, sparking discussions about Bitcoin’s resilience and the broader implications for digital assets.

Accompanying his statement, Saylor shared a striking image of himself seated at a chessboard, surrounded by intricately carved pieces and an hourglass. The symbolism behind the photo portrays a sense of strategic patience—an acknowledgment that the game of investing in Bitcoin is one of time, foresight, and discipline. The hourglass represents the ticking clock of opportunity and volatility, while the chessboard highlights the careful strategy required to navigate Bitcoin’s price cycles.

Saylor’s comments suggest that the cryptocurrency market is currently locked in a “battle” for the continuation of its bull phase. He alluded to the enduring struggle between Bitcoin and traditional financial systems such as fiat currencies and institutional market forces that often seek to suppress decentralized assets. Despite these headwinds, Saylor’s outlook remains steadfastly bullish, reinforcing his belief that Bitcoin represents the future of sound money and digital sovereignty.

As Bitcoin faces another challenging phase, Saylor’s perspective underscores the conviction of long-term holders who view price drops as temporary setbacks rather than signs of weakness. His message serves as a reminder that Bitcoin’s journey is shaped not by short-term market fluctuations, but by the broader adoption curve and the gradual erosion of trust in centralized financial systems.

Wall Street giant Virtu Financial has officially disclosed $63 million worth of XRP holdings, marking a significant milestone in institutional adoption of the Ripple-linked token. According to a recent SEC filing revealed by prominent XRP advocate Bill Morgan, the $7 billion market maker listed XRP alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. This move positions Virtu among the few major U.S. financial institutions directly holding XRP, further signaling growing confidence in blockchain-based assets.

Virtu Financial, known for providing global liquidity across equities, ETFs, fixed income, and currencies, has now expanded into digital assets. Its inclusion of XRP follows increased regulatory clarity in the U.S. surrounding Ripple’s native token. This development mirrors earlier optimism seen when Canary’s proposed XRP ETF removed an SEC delay clause—another indicator of institutional momentum building around the token.

Despite this, on-chain data from Glassnode paints a more cautious short-term outlook. Since early August, XRP’s price has dropped 27%, sliding from $3.30 to around $2.40. During the same period, long-term holders—those who accumulated before November 2024—have increased their spending by roughly 580%, from $38 million to $260 million per day, suggesting profit-taking and heightened sell pressure from whales.

Adding to the bearish signals, Coinglass data shows Coinbase recorded nearly $24 million in net XRP inflows within 12 hours, indicating that traders may be moving tokens to exchanges for potential selling. However, the token still reflects resilience, recently climbing 3.17% in 24 hours to trade at $2.51, up 21.22% year-to-date. Institutional accumulation, including Ripple-backed Evernorth’s $1 billion XRP treasury, continues to highlight a growing Wall Street appetite for XRP despite short-term volatility.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) (“Datavault,” “DVLT,” or the “Company”), a leader in data tokenization and management, has noted that Wolfpack Research recently issued a self-serving and malicious short report targeting the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Nathaniel T. Bradley. The Company strongly condemns this action and issues the following formal statement:

1. The Wolfpack Research Report Contains False and Defamatory Claims Aimed at Manipulating DVLT Stock for Financial Gain

The Wolfpack Research report includes numerous false, misleading, and defamatory statements intended to manipulate Datavault AI’s stock for the financial benefit of short sellers.

These claims lack factual foundation and have caused reputational harm to the Company and its stockholders. Wolfpack Research has openly acknowledged its short position in DVLT shares—demonstrating that its so-called “research” is driven by self-interest rather than truth.

“It’s obvious that these actors are financially benefitting from spreading false information,” said Nathaniel Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. “We intend to file suit to hold Wolfpack Research accountable for its malicious conduct and to protect the rights of our shareholders.”

Short selling is a recognized market practice; however, intentional market manipulation through false and defamatory statements is not. The Company is evaluating Wolfpack Research’s actions and will pursue all legal remedies available under applicable law.

2. Datavault AI Has Engaged Legal Counsel and Formally Demanded Wolfpack Research Cease and Desist its Tortious Conduct

Datavault AI has retained Paul Hastings LLP and Dickinson Wright PLLC to advise on litigation strategy and regulatory action. The Company is evaluating its legal rights and intends to pursue all available remedies to protect its reputation and the legitimate interests of its stockholders.

Jacob Frenkel, Securities Enforcement Practice Chair at Dickinson Wright PLLC and lead litigation counsel for Datavault AI, stated: “the proper place for such purveyors and backers of ‘short and distort’ content is in a defendant’s chair in a courtroom, and that is exactly where the Company intends to put Wolfpack Research. Such abusive, fraudulent and manipulative practices mislead the market, sow distrust and harm shareholders. Mr. Bradley is committed to acting with the best interest of his Company’s shareholders, which is the precise reason for pursuing legal recourse against such defamatory report-writers. The lawsuit will spell out the false and misleading statements with specificity to the point of being a roadmap for federal enforcement authorities also to put the authors and instigators of the Wolfpack Research report in a defendant’s chair.”

3. Datavault AI Reaffirms the Strength of Its Intellectual Property and Strategic Value

Datavault AI’s value is anchored in its robust intellectual property portfolio, which comprises over 70 U.S. and international patents covering AI-driven data valuation, inaudible audio signal technology, blockchain tokenization frameworks, and enterprise data monetization systems.

“Our strategy is rooted in IP and execution, not speculation,” said Bradley. “The technology we’ve developed is already creating value across industries —from digital identity and healthcare to acoustic data and real-world asset tokenization. That foundation is unshakable.”

Datavault’s IP portfolio provides licensing revenue opportunities and a formidable barrier to entry for competitors. Recent patent grants include those covering carbon-credit tokenization on blockchain, virtual-reality data integration, and AI-driven audio tracking systems.

4. Professional History of Nathaniel T. Bradley

Nathaniel T. Bradley is a prolific American inventor and entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in mobile marketing, audio processing, AI, and data monetization. He founded AudioEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE), pioneering digital accessibility technology used worldwide, and later Augme Technologies / Hipcricket, a mobile advertising platform that served Fortune 500 clients. Bradley was recognized as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist and received the Edison Gold Award for Social Impact.

At Datavault AI, Bradley has led the development of innovations in AI data valuation, blockchain for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and AI-powered audio communication through the Company’s ADIO® technology. His reputation for building mission-driven, patent-protected platforms is widely recognized across both technology and capital markets.

5. Recent Successes and Milestones

Formed a strategic alliance with NYIAX to enable smart-contract data exchanges.Completed the acquisition of CompuSystems Inc. (CSI) assets, expanding enterprise event data capabilities.Launched the WiSA E Endeavour™ Receiver Module through the Company’s Acoustic Science division.Partnered with Nature’s Miracle Holding Inc. and Harrison Global Holdings Inc. to launch “The X Club” for the global XRP community.Signed a 12-month national media series with New to The Street to enhance investor visibility.Clarified executive vesting disclosures to reinforce corporate governance transparency.Announced the incorporation and preparation of launching four independent data-exchanges – International Elements Exchange Inc., International NIL Exchange Inc., Information Data Exchange Inc., and American Political Exchange Inc., leveraging Datavault AI’s patent portfolio (now exceeding 70 assets) and targeting real-world asset tokenization, NIL rights monetization, corporate data marketplaces and political donation transparency.

, /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot and The Home Depot Foundation are committing $1 million in product donations, nonprofit grants and other support to provide immediate relief and long-term recovery support to Jamaica and other Caribbean communities devastated by Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest storms in the region's history.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28 as a Category 5 hurricane, resulting in loss of life as well as widespread destruction, including severe flooding, structural collapse and extensive power outages. Over 25,000 residents remain in emergency shelters. Full recovery may take several years.

The Home Depot Foundation is supporting critical resources for immediate relief efforts, including grants to World Central Kitchen to partner with local chefs for emergency meal distribution in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Bahamas, and to Convoy of Hope and Operation Blessing to purchase essential supplies. The Foundation will continue working with its nonprofit partners to facilitate both short-term response and long-term recovery in the coming weeks and months.

"Our hearts go out to the people of Jamaica and the broader Caribbean region as they recover from Hurricane Melissa," said Erin Izen, executive director of The Home Depot Foundation. "Our teams are working around the clock with nonprofit partners to deliver emergency aid and lay the groundwork for long-term recovery."

The Home Depot will donate urgently needed disaster relief and building products and supplies, such as generators, water, toolkits, flashlights, solar lights and other cleanup supplies, to support immediate relief efforts. Further, responding to requests from associates and customers, the company has set up its Miami stores, as well as 30 stores in the New York Metro region, to serve as hubs to expedite orders to impacted communities on the island.

Prior to hurricane season each year, The Home Depot stocks its warehouses and other supply chain locations with essential supplies for hurricane response and recovery, allowing these critical products to get to disaster zones quickly.

"The Home Depot is uniquely positioned to provide disaster-impacted communities with the support they need today, as they look to recover and clean up, and in the future, as they turn to rebuilding," said Jason Arigoni, vice president of field merchandising for The Home Depot.

The company is testing the math behind the artificial-intelligence buildout: How long can you increase capital expenditures out of cash flow—and what do you do when you hit the wall?

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday told investors what to pay attention to next week on Wall Street, highlighting earnings from Palantir, McDonald's, Robinhood and Warner Bros Discovery.

Cramer offered an optimistic outlook for November, even as Wall Street worries about weakrning consumer-oriented companies as the government shutdown persists. He said November and December usually tend to be better months for the market than September and October.

"I think you got to have the long term view here," he said. "We're in the middle of earnings season, just finished the biggest week, and we've come out relatively unscathed. More important, we made it out of October without some sort of collapse — historically, we dodged a real bullet."

Berkshire Hathaway is set to report earnings on Saturday. Cramer said he likes the company, but he warned that investors should expect more profit-taking as CEO Warren Buffet leaves his longtime post.

Monday brings reports from Palantir and Clorox. Cramer suggested that the popular data software company is set to go higher, even though there might be some profit-taking after the quarter. Cramer praised Palantir's management and added that he's not "backing away from this one long-term." He called Clorox a conundrum, as the stock is down more than 30% year-to-date even though consumer packaged goods names usually do well during times of economic uncertainty.

Pfizer, Shopify, Uber, AMD and Axon will post earnings Tuesday. Cramer wondered whether Pfizer will break out after the quarter, saying the drug company has had a "dull run" as of late. He suggested Shopify and Uber are reliable winners, saying he's optimistic about results from both companies. Cramer was positive on AMD and Axon, saying the former is a strong Nvidia competitor and the latter's products are innovative. He also noted that Caterpillar will hold an investor day on Tuesday, and he praised business, remarking that the company's equipment is used to create and maintain data centers.

On Wednesday, McDonald's and Robinhood will report, and Cramer said the burger chain is a good judge of the state of the consumer. Online brokerage Robinhood has been able to win over many investors, he continued, and predicted earnings will be strong. Bank of America has an investor day on Wednesday, and Cramer said he thinks the financial giant will "tell a relatively sanguine story about the state of the economy."

Thursday brings earnings from Warner Bros Discovery, and Cramer said he's looking to find out whether the company is preparing to be taken over. Affirm, Sandisk and MP Materials will also report on Thursday, and he was positive on all three, saying they have had "tremendous stories to tell for a while now."

Wendy's and Constellation Energy are set to report on Friday, and Cramer suggested buying the power company and avoiding the fast food franchise.
