Dogecoin has yet to deliver the kind of rally many expect in the current market cycle, but one analyst believes that is only a matter of time. Posting on the social platform X, the analyst with the handle @EtherNasyonaL described a parabolic run for Dogecoin as inevitable, pointing to recurring chart structures that preceded Dogecoin’s explosive rallies in 2017 and 2021.
Dogecoin’s price movement in this cycle has largely been characterized by short-lived bursts of momentum followed by lengthy stretches of sideways consolidation or gradual retracements. Yet, there is a strong conviction among the most bullish Dogecoin proponents that the true rally for this cycle has not yet taken place. To them, Dogecoin is still in the build-up stage for a strong rally.
Dogecoin Hasn’t Pumped Yet This Cycle
One such example is a recent analysis that was posted on the social media platform X, where the analyst noted that Dogecoin hasn’t actually pumped up in the current cycle yet.

The chart posted by the analyst draws attention to a series of descending trendlines that Dogecoin has historically broken through and gone on exponential rallies shortly after. These periods often lasted years, with prices moving sideways and testing investor patience before then going on a rapid pump.
Particularly, the analyst highlighted the 2017 breakout, where Dogecoin climbed out of a multi-year base, retested the moving average, and then rallied in the months after. As well as the 2021 rally, where the meme coin broke above the multi-year base and retested the moving average again before finally soaring to its current all-time high of $0.7316.

The current setup shows Dogecoin in a similar position. Having broken above the resistance trendline months back, the Dogecoin price went back to retest the monthly moving average again, as shown by the red circle in the chart below.
Now, it seems Dogecoin is trying to extend a rally, as evidenced by the price action in the past two months above $0.22. If history repeats, the present stage may be laying the groundwork for yet another multi-month price surge.
The Current Cycle Looks Different
Dogecoin’s current price cycle presents unique dynamics compared to past rallies. Unlike in 2017 or 2021, which were mostly based on meme coin hype, Dogecoin is now trading in a crypto market with higher liquidity and greater institutional investments. As such, the factors for any projected rally at this point will depend on the amount of institutional inflows that come into Dogecoin.
Discussions around Spot Dogecoin ETFs have added a new dimension to how capital could flow into the asset. If such products gain regulatory approval, they could open up Dogecoin to institutional inflows, much like what has already been seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Nonetheless, Dogecoin’s on-chain data and trading metrics have begun to reflect behavior consistent with accumulation phases seen ahead of past breakouts. September, in particular, has been highlighted by multiple whale purchases. For example, DOGE whales added 2.08 billion DOGE to their holdings during the most recent price pullback below $0.23.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.231.

Bitmine-Linked Wallet Grabs $106M In Ethereum From FalconX – Details
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Ethereum is once again trading at a decisive level after reclaiming the $4,000 mark, a zone closely watched by traders and analysts. Bulls have managed to defend the $4,100 area, showing resilience after weeks of volatile price swings. However, momentum remains fragile, and ETH needs a decisive push above higher resistance levels to confirm that a trend shift is underway. Without such a breakout, the risk of renewed consolidation remains on the table.
Despite the uncertainty in price action, on-chain data provides a more constructive view of the market. Fresh figures reveal that whales continue to accumulate ETH even as broader sentiment has wavered. This steady inflow of capital from large holders suggests growing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term outlook, reinforcing the idea that recent corrections may represent opportunities rather than weakness.
Such accumulation has historically preceded periods of renewed strength, as deep-pocketed investors tend to build positions during phases of market doubt. If ETH can maintain its hold above $4,100 and build momentum, whale activity could provide the support needed to spark a stronger recovery. For now, all eyes remain on Ethereum’s ability to sustain this critical level and challenge higher resistance zones.
Whale Activity Signals Confidence in Ethereum
Ethereum’s recent price action has left traders uncertain, but whale behavior tells a different story. According to on-chain data from Lookonchain, large holders continue to accumulate ETH despite the recent market drop. In just the past few hours, two major transactions highlighted this ongoing trend.
A newly created wallet, 0x93c2 — which analysts suggest may belong to Bitmine — received 25,369 ETH, worth approximately $106.74 million, from FalconX only three hours ago. Such a large inflow into a fresh wallet suggests strategic accumulation, likely intended for long-term holding or staking rather than short-term trading. In parallel, another new wallet, 0x6F9b, withdrew 4,985 ETH (about $21 million) from OKX just an hour later. These moves reduce supply on exchanges, often considered a bullish sign since it limits the immediate selling pressure.

This pattern highlights a broader market dynamic: while retail traders and smaller participants react to short-term volatility, whales appear to view the correction as an opportunity. Their accumulation not only demonstrates confidence in Ethereum’s resilience but also signals preparation for future price appreciation. Historically, consistent whale inflows into fresh wallets have coincided with periods of structural support and eventual recovery.
ETH Struggles To Reclaim $4,200
Ethereum is trading near $4,138 after a volatile week that saw the price tumble below $4,000 before bouncing back. The 8-hour chart highlights a recovery attempt, but ETH now faces significant resistance around the $4,200 level, where both the 100-period (green) and 200-period (red) moving averages converge. This confluence creates a heavy supply zone that bulls must overcome to confirm further upside momentum.

The recent decline from the $4,600–$4,800 range left Ethereum in a fragile state, with selling pressure intensifying during the drop. The rebound shows resilience, but price action remains capped by overhead resistance, keeping sentiment cautious. The failure to reclaim the 50-period moving average (blue) earlier underscores the challenge of reversing short-term bearish momentum.
On the downside, the $4,000 mark acts as the first critical support. A breakdown below that level could re-expose ETH to $3,800 or even $3,600, where stronger demand may appear. For now, Ethereum trades in a consolidation phase, and the next decisive move will likely depend on whether bulls can force a breakout above $4,200. A clean move higher would open the door toward $4,400, while rejection risks renewed downside pressure.

Why Michael Saylor Is Building Toward a Trillion-Dollar Bitcoin Balance Sheet
Michael Saylor has never shied away from grand visions, but his latest roadmap Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy may be his boldest yet.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Bitcoin Magazine, the Strategy co-founder sketched out an “endgame” where his firm builds a trillion-dollar bitcoin balance sheet — and then uses that capital base to help reinvent the global credit system.
“I think the endgame is we accumulate a trillion dollars worth of bitcoin and then we grow it 20, 30% a year,” Saylor told Bitcoin for Corporations Managing Director George Mekhail. “The endgame is get to a trillion dollars of collateral growing 30% a year”
At the core of Saylor’s vision is scale. He believes Strategy — and other Bitcoin treasury companies likely to follow — can ultimately accumulate a trillion dollars worth of BTC.
Once there, the mechanics of bitcoin’s long-term appreciation, historically averaging around 21% annually, would supercharge that capital stock.
Bitcoin-backed credit with favorable yields Layered on top of that, Saylor sees new opportunities to issue bitcoin-backed credit at yields far superior to the fiat system.
The result, he argues, would be a dual flywheel: a massive store of digital collateral growing in value while simultaneously fueling the creation of digital credit markets.
Unlike today’s fiat-based debt systems, where risk-free rates are often suppressed near zero, Bitcoin-collateralized credit could deliver healthier yields, potentially two to four percentage points above traditional corporate or sovereign debt.
That, in Saylor’s telling, could reinvigorate credit markets worldwide. Instead of investors enduring years of “financial repression” in Europe or Japan, where trillions of dollars sit in low-yielding bonds, digital credit backed by Bitcoin would provide stronger returns and greater transparency.
With capital 2x over-collateralized, he says, the system could be safer than even the most conservative AAA corporate debt.
Traditional financial means will become indirect Bitcoin vehicles Saylor extends the vision beyond credit. As bitcoin becomes embedded in the balance sheets of corporations, insurers, banks, and even sovereign wealth funds, equity indexes like the S&P 500 would gradually become indirect bitcoin vehicles.
That shift, he argues, would inject health into equity markets as well — allowing public companies to benefit from bitcoin’s compounding growth.
The implications stretch across finance: savings accounts yielding closer to 8–10% instead of near-zero; money market funds denominated in bitcoin rather than fiat; insurance products reimagined around bitcoin collateral.
Tech giants like Apple and Google could eventually integrate bitcoin custody and services into their global platforms, pulling hundreds of millions into the digital economy almost overnight.
In this scenario, Bitcoin treasury companies serve as the dynamos powering a new financial architecture — what Saylor calls the foundation of 21st-century banking, credit, and capital markets.
The scale could reach tens of trillions in digital credit backed by hundreds of trillions in Bitcoin capital.
The transformation, he says, would create a world that is “smarter, faster, stronger — 10x better” than the current system, with those participating in the Bitcoin economy enjoying vast advantages over those left outside.
Over the course of the final full week in September, Strategy added 196 bitcoin to its treasury last week for $22.1 million at an average price of $113,048 per coin.

Solana ETF issuers gear up for SEC approval as soon as next week: Sources
Behind the scenes, issuers are preparing for the SEC’s green light to potentially come for SOL ETFs within days, sources tell Blockworks.
Following the SEC approving generic listing standards for crypto ETPs and a flurry of amended Solana fund forms being submitted, many are speculating that a wave of new crypto ETFs is about to crest.
People familiar with the filings at three separate ETF issuers told Blockworks that next week could be a realistic timeline for Solana ETF approval.
Read more: Crypto ETF swell approaching after Grayscale’s latest launch
However, a looming US government shutdown could throw a wrench in things, two of the people noted. One said a potential shutdown at midnight would put everything on pause.
Another source said they had “high conviction” that Solana ETFs’ S-1s would go into effect in the first half of October.
It was not immediately clear if issuers expect approved spot SOL ETFs to include staking, but the most recent round of S-1 amendments did address staking.
The biggest hurdle to the optimistic approval timeline is a US government shutdown, which looks increasingly likely. Listing approvals are “very unlikely to happen during a shutdown,” Blockworks reported today.
Issuers first filed for spot solana funds in the summer of 2024, and the SEC began actively engaging with S-1 forms in June, Blockworks first reported.
Solana could become the third crypto asset to achieve a spot ETF, following bitcoin and ether. Solana’s market capitalization of $113 billion makes it one of the handful of largest tokens, albeit significantly smaller than bitcoin and ether, which have market values of $2.2 trillion and $503 billion, respectively.
Other tokens, such as ripple and litecoin, could see fast approvals as well, especially after the SEC passed generic listing standards for digital assets. These standards would allow crypto ETFs to gain the SEC’s approval without rule-changing 19b-4 forms. The SEC has asked filers for a raft of crypto ETFs, including Solana, to withdraw their 19b-4s in light of the generic listing standards, crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported.
Despite the possible shutdown, the conversation surrounding new crypto ETF approvals is now centered on “when,” not “if.”
“Honestly, the odds [of new crypto ETF approvals] are really 100% now. Generic listing standards make the 19b-4s and their ‘clock’ meaningless,” Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas wrote on X, later adding: “The baby could come any day. Be ready.”

DoorDash launched Dot, its first standalone autonomous delivery robot
DoorDash has launched a new delivery robot named Dot, putting the company deep into the self-driving game. Dot rolls through streets, parking lots, and sidewalks to drop food off to hungry customers. This is the company’s first real, in-house leap into autonomous delivery, without relying on external tech firms.
Before this, DoorDash tested drones and partnered with Coco Robotics, a Sam Altman–backed startup focused on sidewalk robots. But Dot changes the game, as this one was built specifically for the scale DoorDash operates at.
“The scale and complexity of the business demands something like autonomy, and there isn’t anything out there that fits our use case,” said Stanley Tang, co-founder of DoorDash, in a statement to CNBC.
DoorDash begins testing Dot in Phoenix
Tang, who heads DoorDash Labs, the company’s robotics division, said Dot was created to handle more complicated deliveries and help local shops tap into autonomous tech. Dot can hit speeds up to 20 miles per hour and carry up to 30 pounds—about six pizza boxes in total.
Right now, Dot is being tested in Phoenix, Arizona. Merchants in the area can already try it out using DoorDash’s autonomous delivery system, which also includes drones when available. The plan is to expand to other cities once things run smoothly in Phoenix.
This launch isn’t happening in isolation. Just last week, Uber made headlines with a drone delivery deal with Israeli startup Flytrex. Uber had also tried driverless food delivery using Waymo vehicles. Everyone wants in, but DoorDash is clearly moving to lock down its own turf.
Dot stands four and a half feet tall and weighs 350 pounds. It’s also 29 inches wide, making it just a bit wider than a baby stroller. That size lets it roll right up to a restaurant door. Workers can slide food directly into its shell. According to Ashu Rege, head of DoorDash Labs, Dot’s size may even let it pass through standard doorways in future designs.
Robot tech meets TikTok appeal
Dot is loaded with tech. The robot uses eight cameras and three lidar sensors to scan its surroundings. This setup helps Dot steer around stuff like traffic, blocked paths, or jammed sidewalks. There’s also a camera inside to keep an eye on the food during the ride.
Rege said at a San Francisco event that Dot wasn’t just built to move food but also to interact. “Beyond the tech details, we’ve also put a lot of thought into the personality and character of Dot,” he said. Dot has glowing LED lights that look like eyes and greets restaurant staff with a robotic “Oh, hello!” when it arrives to pick up an order.
That focus on character might be strategic. Last month, a video went viral on TikTok showing a Coco robot, one of DoorDash’s past delivery partners, trying to cross a street. In the clip, a woman cheers, “Oh my god, don’t hit Coco! Coco just wants to cross the street,” as the robot dodges traffic. Moments like that are pure internet gold, and clearly, DoorDash knows it.

SOL retail longs briefly flushed, but traders' bullish forecast unchanged
SOL late leverage longs got rinsed by the flash crash to $205, but data shows pro traders buying the dip and retail traders opening fresh spot and margin positions.
90
Key takeaways:
SOL retail leveraged longs who entered Monday’s range high were partially flushed out on today’s sell-off to $205.
Despite the brief downturn, institutional investor-sized entities bought the SOL price dip.
The risk of a US government shutdown is the main culprit in the sell-off, but traders remain focused on the Oct. 10 SEC Solana ETF deadline.
SOL (SOL) price abruptly fell to $204.17 on Tuesday as US stock markets sold off on the news that the US government is on track to shut down starting Oct. 1 after Democrats and Republicans failed to secure an agreement to fund the nation.
Despite the negative news headlines and rancour among opposing political parties, the DOW, S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 200 finished the trading day in the black, with the DOW achieving another record high.
Par for the course, crypto markets followed in the stock markets’ footsteps, with Bitcoin (BTC) rebounding from an intra-day low of $112,656 to $114,400 at the time of writing. Most altcoins have yet to regain their Monday highs, but the reversal in BTC and stocks appears to have at least arrested the decline in large and small-cap cryptocurrencies.
SOL is still down 1.38% for the day, but has recaptured its median range from the weekly open, to currently trade above $209.50. Data from Hyblock shows retail traders bearing the brunt of the flush out, while the institutional-investor size cohort (1 million to 10 million anchored CVD) shows larger entities stepping in to buy the decline.
SOL/USDT 1-hour chart. Binance Futures. Source: HyblockCharts suggest that late leveraged retail longs were liquidated on the move down to $205, but retail and pro day traders viewed the resulting negative funding rate as an opportunity to open fresh spot and leveraged longs.
SOL/USDT 1-hour chart. Binance Futures. Source: Velo Beyond the knee-jerk reaction to the increasing chance of a US government shutdown, Bitcoin and SOL traders have chosen to focus on the numerous positive catalysts present across the crypto market.
Bitcoin traders remain focused on the anticipated trio of upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and a Trump-friendly Fed chair eventually being appointed. On the other hand, SOL traders expect the rising tide that is Bitcoin to lift all altcoins, and have kept their sights set on the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s Oct. 10 deadline to render a decision on the fate of numerous spot SOL ETFs.

Phantom's CASH Stablecoin on Solana Takes Aim at Stablecoin Market
Phantom has launched Phantom Cash, a superapp for cryptocurrency payments built on the Solana blockchain.
The new app is powered by the US dollar-pegged stablecoin CASH, designed for everyday transactions.
Phantom aims to improve crypto payments by integrating with Stripe’s global merchant network.
The stablecoin market is nearing a $300 billion cap, intensifying competition among issuers like Phantom.
Solana’s fast and scalable network makes it a key platform for stablecoin solutions and crypto payments.
Phantom has officially launched Phantom Cash, a superapp for cryptocurrency payments, built on the Solana blockchain. The new service includes the US dollar-pegged stablecoin, CASH, which aims to reshape crypto payments. This move intensifies the growing competition in the stablecoin market, which is nearing a $300 billion market cap.
Phantom’s new superapp, Phantom Cash, is designed to simplify cryptocurrency payments on Solana. The app supports the newly launched CASH stablecoin, which is pegged to the US dollar. Phantom claims existing stablecoins were not built for everyday transactions, prompting the creation of this new solution.
Phantom has released a new stablecoin on Solana
the stablecoin wars on Solana are about to heat up
the days of issuers taking all yield for themselves or doing backrun deals that cut users out are gonna end fast https://t.co/g86aG12Wul
— mert | helius.dev (@0xMert_) September 30, 2025
The stablecoin aims to make crypto payments safer and easier for users. Phantom has also promised an integration with Stripe’s global merchant network. This step will enable users to pay with cryptocurrency seamlessly across various platforms.
Phantom’s launch aims to address the current limitations in the stablecoin market. By leveraging the Solana blockchain’s speed and low transaction costs, the app promises improved usability. According to the announcement, this launch is a step toward making crypto more accessible for everyday transactions.
Solana’s Role in the Stablecoin Wars
The stablecoin market is experiencing rapid growth, with its market capitalization nearing $300 billion. Phantom’s decision to build its own stablecoin on Solana reflects a larger trend in the crypto space. Solana’s fast and scalable network makes it a prime candidate for cryptocurrency solutions, including stablecoins.
Our mission to make crypto safe and effortless remains.
Phantom Cash does just that by bridging the gap between crypto and your daily life.
— Phantom (@phantom) September 30, 2025
Experts believe this marks the beginning of the “stablecoin supercycle,” where competition will drive innovation and foster further advancements. Helius co-founder Mert emphasized that stablecoin issuers will no longer be able to take all yields for themselves. This growing competition among payment apps is expected to ultimately benefit users.
Solana has positioned itself as a key battleground in this competition. Its robust network effect and liquidity make it a crucial player in the stablecoin landscape. As Phantom Cash joins other players, including Tether and Circle, Solana’s influence in this space will only continue to rise.

Bitcoin Buyers Step Back After Failed Push Beyond $115,000
Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a cooling period as September comes to a close, trading within a narrow corridor and showing signs of weakening momentum. After attempting a breakout above $115,000, the market failed to sustain gains, prompting traders to adopt a cautious approach rather than a bullish or panicked stance.

Solana Primed For Its Next Major Parabolic Advance As SOL ETF Approval Odds Hit 100%
Layer2 network Starknet has announced several new initiatives, including Bitcoin staking and a 100 million STRK incentive program. Other initiatives include an institutional-grade BTC yield product.
Staking allows holders to stake their BTC on Starknet without relinquishing custody and earn rewards while contributing to the network’s security.
Bitcoin Staking Is Live On Starknet Starknet has officially launched Bitcoin staking, along with a 100 million STRK fund to boost the BTCFi ecosystem. The project describes its Bitcoin staking initiative as the first trustless way BTC can be staked on a Layer 2 network. The initiative allows holders to earn rewards while maintaining custody of their assets, and helps secure the network.
“Bitcoin doesn’t change. But what you can do with it is just what you did. From the June 2024 announcement that Starknet would scale Bitcoin to the product rollouts of March 2025, the path has been clear. BTCFi on Starknet is where that momentum now leads.”
The staking mechanism does not alter Bitcoin’s base layer, which utilizes a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism and does not support staking. Starknet’s staking initiative uses wrapped versions of BTC, including WBTC, tBTC, Liquid Bitcoin, and SolvBTC. These can be delegated on Starknet and can participate in Starknet’s consensus along with the STRK token after an on-chain vote. The tokenized holdings are secured by zk-STARK cryptography, providing post-quantum security. StarkWare CEO and co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson released a statement, stating,
“Last year, I said Starknet would unleash Bitcoin's power. Today we're making good on that promise … bringing value to bitcoin holders with no loss in trust. For me, it's two dreams converging. The ZK-tech that I willed into existence, merging with Satoshi's vision that you own your life, now you get real yield, real consensus powered by your own bitcoin.”
STRK Initiative The Starknet Foundation also announced the allocation of 100 million STRK ($12 million) to support the BTCFi ecosystem on Starknet. This includes incentivizing borrowing against BTC to make Starknet the most cost-effective avenue for using Bitcoin as collateral and powering yield strategies. Ben-Sasson added,
“Bitcoin is the best form of collateral. Everyone from Saylor to Wall Street now realizes this, but I want you to be able to borrow against it and then invest what you're borrowing.”
BTC-Denominated Yield Product Digital asset investment firm Re7 Capital has announced plans to launch a BTC-denominated yield product on Starknet in October. The strategy is designed to generate returns directly in BTC through a combination of off-chain derivatives trading, curated DeFi yield strategies, and participation in BTC staking on Starknet. The fund will also be available in a tokenized format, making it accessible beyond professional investors.
“When an investment firm with a strong on-chain track record of Re7's calibre brings its bitcoin product to Starknet, it’s a clear declaration of the network's great promise.”

XRP Gears Up For Breakout, But Bearish Divergence Clouds Outlook
XRP is showing signs of strength as it holds above key support levels, but the road to a breakout remains far from clear. While momentum off the trendline brings optimism, bearish divergences on higher timeframes are raising caution.
Bearish Divergence Signals Market Caution
CasiTrades, in a recent update, noted that XRP has managed to show some momentum after bouncing off the black trendline highlighted last week. The respect of this level is encouraging, but the market is not out of danger just yet. Its price still faces the critical $3 resistance, which remains the key hurdle to confirm the start of a new bullish trend. Until that level is broken, downside risks remain valid, with $2.79 (0.5 retracement) and $2.58 (0.618 retracement) identified as the main support zones.
However, the move from the trendline appears to be forming a clean ABC corrective pattern rather than a 5-wave impulsive rally. Price action has already rejected the targets for the C-wave, and bearish divergence has been spotted on the 4-hour chart. This combination of factors does not align with the characteristics typically expected at the beginning of a true Wave 3 breakout.
XRP at a critical moment | Source: Chart from CasiTrades on X
On the 1-hour RSI, XRP is now testing the lower support trendline, which CasiTrades is closely monitoring for confirmation of the next move. Looking ahead, the key level to watch is $2.69. Ideally, XRP avoids a new low beneath this zone, as that would force a reset of the wave count and shift the outlook.
However, a retest of $2.58 remains valid and could still serve as a springboard for a larger bullish move. The overall picture suggests XRP is at a pivotal stage: breaking through resistance could ignite a long-awaited rally, but failure here risks invalidating the bullish structure entirely.
XRP Supports Hold Firm As Momentum Builds
CasiTrades emphasized that XRP’s support levels remain unchanged for now, and the market is still waiting for one of these key zones to spark the momentum required to break through resistance. Without a decisive push, the price risks lingering in its current range while testing lower levels.
According to the analysis, a true Wave 3 breakout will only be confirmed when XRP cleanly clears the major resistance levels at $2.79, $3.00, and $3.25. These barriers must fall without hesitation or repeated rejection; otherwise, the price action would simply signal weakness and the likelihood of further downside testing.
CasiTrades also advised keeping a close watch on Bitcoin’s movements for broader market alignment, as well as on signs of bullish divergence forming during the next pullback. Once that momentum appears, XRP could finally have the setup to trigger the breakout that traders have been anticipating.

Upexi Taps SOL Big Brain and Arthur Hayes to Strengthen Solana Focus
Upexi has appointed SOL Big Brain, a Solana investor, to its advisory committee.
The company now has Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, on its advisory team.
Upexi’s Solana strategy includes holding over 2 million SOL tokens, valued at approximately $410 million.
The company stakes most of its Solana holdings to earn an 8% yield for investors.
Upexi’s net asset value has increased to $433 million, thanks to Solana’s rising market price.
Upexi, the Nasdaq-listed company, has named prominent Solana investor SOL Big Brain to its advisory committee. The move, announced Tuesday, aims to strengthen the company’s crypto strategy. SOL Big Brain joins Maelstrom Fund co-founder Arthur Hayes, who was appointed earlier this year.
Upexi’s Solana Strategy Grows Stronger
Upexi has increasingly focused on Solana, after shifting from its origins as a consumer brand aggregator. In April, the company began its large-scale accumulation of Solana’s SOL tokens with a $6.7 million purchase. It now holds over 2 million SOL tokens, valued at around $410 million.
The company states that it stakes most of its Solana holdings to earn about an 8% yield. By doing so, Upexi offers investors institutional-grade exposure to Solana without requiring them to manage infrastructure. This approach aligns with Upexi’s broader strategy to leverage cryptocurrency for growth while maintaining simplicity.
Key Figures in Upexi’s Crypto Leadership
Upexi’s advisory committee now includes two well-known figures from the crypto world. SOL Big Brain, a prominent Solana investor, brings significant expertise to the team. Hayes, a former BitMEX co-founder, brings his experience from aggressively trading memecoins like PEPE.
Hayes has shifted his focus toward high-yield decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, such as EtherFi and Ethena. He believes that the next wave of crypto growth will come from projects that reward tokenholders with shared revenue. His insights further strengthen Upexi’s strategic positioning within the crypto space.
Upexi’s Solana bet has been advantageous, particularly with the rise in SOL’s market price. When the company started accumulating SOL, it was priced around $100, near a 13-month low. Since then, the price has more than doubled to $208, boosting Upexi’s net asset value to $433 million.

Bitcoin Faces Volatility as U.S. Government Shutdown Deadline Nears

154,448,000,000 SHIB Restores Hope as NetFlow Plunges 21%
Shiba Inu is down 1.83% in its trading price over the last 24 hours. However, a relative decline in its exchange net inflow has triggered attention from investors.
According to data from an on-chain analytics platform, Shiba Inu has recorded a decrease of 154.4 billion SHIB in its overall net inflow across all supported exchanges, including Coinbase, Binance, and others.
SHIB holders show resilience Despite the slowdown in Shiba Inu’s trading price, its exchange flows have shown a 21.83% decline, suggesting that holders have shown less interest in selling.
HOT Stories
While this key metric signals a dramatic shift in investor sentiment, it appears that the decline in SHIB’s trading price is not entirely attributed to speculative trading. Rather, it might be the leading altcoin responding to the broader market trend.
The metric, which marks the difference between exchange inflows and outflows, suggests that the amount of Shiba Inu tokens withdrawn from exchanges is larger than the amount of tokens deposited for sale by 154,448,000,000 SHIB.
This trend indicates that many small and large SHIB holders have shown no interest in selling their holdings despite the negative price trend. Instead, they are moving their tokens into self-custody wallets to hold for longer periods.
While the decline in exchange flows stands as a bullish indicator, it aims to tighten the supply available on crypto exchanges while propelling the token toward a potential price upsurge.
Although the low selling activity could highlight strong investor confidence, it is also important to note that the slow market activity could mean that investors are trading with caution.
The sharp plunge in net flows could help stabilize the price movements of the leading memecoin, and investors are confident that the token might be set for bigger price rallies ahead.
To further build momentum for the dog-themed meme cryptocurrency, its burn activity has also surged decently by 22.98% after staying flat in previous days.
With 171,407 SHIB tokens moved out of circulation today, the resurgence in the SHIB burn rate aligns with the decline in exchange net flows, as they work hand in hand to tighten the SHIB supply while driving demand for the token.

Michael Saylor ignores Strategy critics, makes bold $1T commitment to BTC
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has outlined an audacious endgame for his company, and that is to accumulate $1 trillion worth of Bitcoin. This is coming at a time when criticisms of him and his company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy have gone up a few decibels.
In a recent conversation with Bitcoin Magazine, Saylor compared Bitcoin to historic breakthroughs such as fire, electricity, and oil, calling it property, capital and energy in cyberspace.
Saylor’s trillion-dollar Bitcoin endgame
Saylor envisions Strategy building its Bitcoin treasury to $1 trillion and moving far beyond that. Strategy has already become the most prominent corporate Bitcoin holder since it pivoted in 2020 from business software to a digital asset-focused balance sheet.
Strategy now holds 640,031 BTC, purchased through a mix of cash reserves, convertible debt, and repeated equity issuance. It announced the acquisition of 196 Bitcoins for $22.1 million when the token dipped below $110,000, as Cryptopolitan reported on Monday.
Saylor insists the model is only beginning to take hold. He notes that while only a handful of listed firms held Bitcoin in 2020 when Strategy went all in on the cryptocurrency, more than 180 do today. He predicts this will grow to thousands as companies shift their balance sheets toward digital assets.
Saylor also believes that tech giants such as Apple, Google and Microsoft will eventually embed Bitcoin into their operating systems and hardware.
For Saylor, the stakes go beyond corporate profits. He frames Bitcoin as a foundation of economic integrity, decentralization, and energy efficiency, a financial system that can transfer value across time and space.
Skeptics question the model
Critics, however, remain unconvinced. There is also a very vocal group speaking about the “impending doom” that awaits Saylor’s Strategy and the people and institutions who have invested in them.
In June this year, veteran short-seller Jim Chanos described parts of Saylor’s valuation logic as “financial gibberish,” questioning why Strategy trades at a premium to the value of its Bitcoin holdings.
Peter Schiff, chief economist and strategist at Euro Pacific Capital, also shared similar sentiments in an X post last week, calling Saylor’s business strategy “harebrained” and pointing out that Strategy (MSTR) has been “down 45%” since its November 2024 high.
A recent report showed that Strategy’s stock, which for years traded well above the net asset value of its Bitcoin stash, has lost some of its luster. Saylor has brushed off the trend, saying he is unbothered.
Analysts warn of dilution risk, since Strategy funds purchases largely by issuing stock or convertible notes. While the strategy boosts the Bitcoin treasury, it also leaves common shareholders with a smaller slice of the company.
Saylor’s struggle to defend his vision is perennial
Saylor dismisses such concerns, likening criticism of Bitcoin to historic resistance against electricity or nuclear power. Each new price milestone, he argues, brings a new wave of skeptics, yet adoption continues to expand.
He also rejects the notion that corporate buying crowds out retail investors, pointing to the estimated $1.8 trillion in gains enjoyed by individuals since companies such as Strategy and BlackRock entered the market.
The scale of his ambition, however, raises questions of feasibility. To reach a trillion-dollar Bitcoin reserve at current prices, Strategy would need to hold around 9 million BTC, close to half of the total supply that will ever exist. Even if Bitcoin rises sharply, the capital required would dwarf the company’s present means.
However, the symbolic power of Saylor’s claim may be as important as its literal execution. In his telling, Bitcoin offers not just a speculative hedge but a chance to power a global system of trust. According to him, Strategy’s model will be remembered as a paradigm shift in corporate treasury management.

Michael Saylor Reveals Strategy's Plan to Accumulate $1 Trillion in Bitcoin
Michael Saylor revealed that Strategy aims to accumulate $1 trillion in Bitcoin for its treasury.
Saylor believes Bitcoin represents a revolutionary form of energy, capital, and property in cyberspace.
Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy has inspired over 180 publicly traded companies to adopt Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
Saylor predicts that major companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft will eventually embed Bitcoin support into their systems.
He dismissed concerns about corporate investors crowding out individual investors, citing significant gains for retail holders.
Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of Strategy, has outlined an ambitious plan to accumulate $1 trillion in Bitcoin. Saylor believes Bitcoin represents a new form of energy and capital, comparing it to transformative forces like fire, electricity, and oil. According to Saylor, the end goal for Strategy is to hold a trillion dollars’ worth of Bitcoin and expand its influence from there.
Saylor sees Bitcoin as a revolutionary force in digital energy, offering a unique way to transfer value. He views it as property, capital, and energy in cyberspace, transcending traditional forms of wealth. Saylor’s vision is for Bitcoin to become a core asset for both corporations and individuals in the digital age.
Bitcoin as a Paradigm Shift in Corporate Strategy
Saylor highlighted the growing importance of Bitcoin within corporate strategies. Since 2020, Strategy has led the charge in adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset, inspiring numerous other companies to follow suit. He predicts that over 180 publicly traded companies already hold Bitcoin, and the number will rise into the thousands in the coming years.
As more companies adopt Bitcoin, Saylor expects major firms like Apple, Google, and Microsoft to integrate Bitcoin support into their operating systems and hardware. He believes that such moves will signal widespread mainstream adoption. Saylor’s bold prediction is that Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 indefinitely, changing the financial landscape.
Saylor Believes Bitcoin Growth Benefits All Investors
Saylor is confident that Bitcoin’s growth will benefit both corporations and individual investors. He rejected concerns that corporate investments in Bitcoin would crowd out retail investors. In fact, he pointed out that individual investors have seen significant gains since corporations like Strategy began accumulating Bitcoin.
Strategy’s strategy of acquiring more Bitcoin has not only boosted the company’s performance but also strengthened the entire Bitcoin network. According to Saylor, corporate adoption of Bitcoin is a net positive for early investors. He emphasized that Bitcoin’s decentralized nature ensures that individuals, companies, and even governments can hold their own reserves without relying on central institutions.
Saylor’s vision for Bitcoin extends beyond corporate success. He views it as a global system of trust and economic integrity. For him, the trillion-dollar goal is a step toward a new foundation of digital energy and value.

Ashland production unit at Calvert City is offline, equipment requires replacement with no impact expected to customer orders
Wilmington, Del., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH) today announced that a production unit at its Calvert City, Kentucky manufacturing facility is currently offline following an equipment-related incident that occurred earlier this month.
The affected unit was safely shut down for repairs and fabrication and installation of new equipment will be required to restore full functionality. Based on current assessments, repairs are expected to be completed during fiscal Q1 2026, primarily due to the lead time required for sourcing parts.
The damage and repair activities are confined to Ashland’s upstream operations. While a production unit will be temporarily shut down during the repair period, the site remains partially operational. Ashland does not anticipate any impact on customer deliveries or sales commitments during the outage period, supported by finished goods inventory and ongoing production from unaffected units.
The company expects the primary impact to be operational in nature, including repair costs and absorption-related inefficiencies. Ashland is actively coordinating production and inventory across its integrated network to support efficient operations and optimize working capital. Ashland currently estimates the Adjusted EBITDA impact to be minimal in fiscal 2025 with a carryover impact of approximately $10 million in fiscal 2026, depending on final repair timing and absorption dynamics. The financial impact remains an estimate and will be updated as new relevant information becomes available.
Ashland expects to provide its next update on the status of repairs and operational impact during its Q4 earnings release.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Investors in MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ: MLTX) saw the price of their shares crater $55.75, or about 90%, after the company announced disastrous VELA-2 trial results for sonelokimab, its highly anticipated treatment for patients with skin disease (hidradenitis suppurative or “HS”).
The development and severe market reaction has prompted national shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into whether MoonLake may have misled investors about sonelokimab’s trial design and efficacy.
The firm urges investors in MoonLake who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (MLTX) Investigation:
The investigation is focused on MoonLake’s disclosures about the company’s planning for possible intercurrent events after participants start treatment and about the likelihood of achieving the HiSCR75 primary endpoint - a scale which defines treatment success as at least a 75% reduction in inflammatory lesions.
Before Sept. 29, 2025, MoonLake expressed confidence to investors in sonelokimab’s trial designs, encouraged the belief that the studies could show at least a 20% difference between the sonelokimab group and patients given a placebo, and has assured investors that “we really have a drug here that can become the gold standard and obviously that will facilitate any winning that we do with sonelokimab in HS.”
Investors’ expectations were dashed on Sep. 29, 2025, when MoonLake announced that in its VELA-2 trial “intercurrent events in the higher-than-expected placebo arm precluded the study from achieving statistical significance in the week 16 primary endpoint using the composite strategy (HiSCR75, delta to placebo of 9%[.]”
On this news, the price of MoonLake shares cratered $55.75 (-90%) that day, with one analyst reportedly writing in a note to investors that the results “’arguably fall[] into the worst case outcome.’”
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether MoonLake may have misled investors about the VELA-2 design and planning for potential intercurrent events while claiming that sonelokimab could become a ‘gold standard’,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

FLR Investors Have Opportunity to Join Fluor Corporation Fraud Investigation With the DJS Law Group
, /PRNewswire/ -- The DJS Law Group reminds investors that it is investigating claims against Fluor Corporation ("Fluor" or "the Company") (NYSE: FLR) for violations of securities laws.
The investigation centers on whether the Company made false and/or misleading statements or omitted information critical to investors. On August 1, 2025, Fluor announced its second-quarter financial results and reduced its full-year forecast. The Company attributed its underwhelming performance to rising expenses across several infrastructure projects—citing subcontractor design flaws, cost escalations, and timeline setbacks. It further stated that clients are cutting back on capital expenditures. These challenges were not previously disclosed when the Company reaffirmed its full-year outlook. Following this announcement, Fluor's stock declined by over 30.5% during early trading that same day.

Key Takeaways Utilize a Zacks screen to help find some of the best #1 (Strong Buy) stocks to buy now.Buy soaring AI data center infrastructure stock Sterling for long-term upside.
The bullish pillars of surging earnings growth and interest rate cuts remain in place to start the fourth quarter.
Even if there is healthy selling to recalibrate a slightly overheated market heading into Q3 earnings season in the middle of October, it should be bought up rather quickly.
This backdrop is why investors likely want to buy stocks in October and throughout Q4. Today, we explore how investors can use a Zacks screen to help find some of the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks out of a group of over 200 highly-ranked companies.
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks outperform the market in good and bad times. However, there are over 200 stocks that earn a Zacks Rank #1 at any given time.
Therefore, it’s helpful to understand how to apply filters to the Zacks Rank in order to narrow the list down to a more manageable and tradable set of stocks.
The Best "Strong Buy" Stock Screen ParametersClearly, there are only three items on this screen. But together, these three filters can result in some impressive returns.
• Zacks Rank equal to 1
Starting with a Zacks Rank #1 is often a strong jumping off point because it boasts an average annual return of roughly 24.4% per year since 1988.
• % Change (Q1) Est. over 4 Weeks greater than 0
Positive current quarter estimate revisions over the last four weeks.
• % Broker Rating Change over 4 Week equal to Top # 5
Top 5 stocks with the best average broker rating changes over the last four weeks.
This strategy comes loaded with the Research Wizard and is called bt_sow_filtered zacks rank5. It can be found in the SoW (Screen of the Week) folder.
Here is one of the five stocks that qualified for the Filtered Zacks Rank 5 strategy today…
Buy Soaring AI Data Center Infrastructure Stock STRL NowSterling Infrastructure, Inc. (STRL - Free Report) , as its name suggests, is a leading player in the U.S. infrastructure space, operating across three core businesses: E-Infrastructure, Transportation, and Building Solutions.
STRL is benefitting from the AI data center boom, reshoring, energy industry expansion, and beyond. The firm specializes in the first phase of construction, from site selection to planning and site prep. Sterling boasts that it can “scale to meet any size project.”
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
STRL’s E-Infrastructure division works directly with some of the fastest-growing areas of the economy, including AI data centers, e-commerce and distribution centers, and beyond. The Texas-headquartered firm has posted impressive revenue and GAAP earnings per share (EPS) growth over the past several years.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The company posted a blockbuster beat-and-raise second quarter in early August. The AI data center infrastructure company grew its backlog by 24% YoY to close Q2 at $2 billion, as it lands “mission-critical projects, including data centers and manufacturing.”
Sterling’s EPS estimates for FY25 and FY26 climbed around 10% since its Q2 release to earn it a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and extend its impressive run of upward earnings revisions.
It is projected to grow its revenue by 7% in 2025 and 13% next year to reach $2.54 billion. Better yet, Sterling’s adjusted earnings are expected to expand by 57% this year and 15% in FY26 to reach $10.98 a share.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
STRL stock has skyrocketed 2,300% in the past five years as part of a much larger surge over the past 25 years, which included a rough stretch between 2006 and 2015.
The stock has pulled back a bit after hitting new all-time highs last week and reaching its most overbought RSI levels over the past year. Sterling is attempting to hold its ground at its 21-day moving average. On top of that, all four brokerage recommendations Zacks has for Sterling are “Strong Buys.”

MPA Contract Extended to Continue Delivering the Transformational Hudson Tunnel Project, the Most Urgent Rail Project in United States
Hudson Tunnel Project Proves that America is Building Again
, /PRNewswire/ -- MPA Delivery Partners, the joint venture of Mace, Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN), and Arcadis (AMS: ARCAD) announced today that the team has been awarded a $665 million, 4.5-year contract extension by the Gateway Development Commission (GDC) to continue managing the successful delivery of the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP).
The HTP is progressing on-schedule and expected to create more than 95,000 jobs around the United States and generate more than $19 billion in economic activity. In addition to the thousands of talented employees in the New York/New Jersey region, the project is driving demand for U.S. suppliers of steel, aggregates, rail and track, and ventilation systems. Companies from North Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, Colorado, and Tennessee are benefiting from the Hudson Tunnel Project, unlocking the power of American ingenuity, and proving that the country is building again. With multiple active construction sites managing different portions of the HTP, the project is on-schedule for the new Gateway Tunnel completion in 2035, and the existing tunnel's rehabilitation by 2038.
"This is a once-in-a-generation project and a true collaboration between the public and private sectors that will serve as a model for delivering future mega-infrastructure projects around the world," said Joe Marie, senior project executive for MPA Delivery Partners. "We are united in our goal of successfully completing this critical project, which will transform the Northeast Corridor and deliver billions of dollars of economic growth to the U.S. economy. GDC and MPA function as a fully integrated partnership, working closely together to ensure the Hudson Tunnel Project is completed on time and within budget."
The Hudson Tunnel Project is the cornerstone of the Gateway Program and is widely considered the most urgent rail infrastructure project in the United States. The transformational project involves building a brand new two-tube rail tunnel under the Hudson River and rehabilitating the existing 115-year-old tunnel as well as nine miles of new passenger rail track between New York and New Jersey to improve passenger rail service and enhance the reliability of the Northeast Corridor. These improvements will accelerate economic prosperity and growth around the country while improving long-term reliability and redundancy of the regional and national rail networks for NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak. Ultimately, the Hudson Tunnel Project will establish a new 100-year legacy of engineering excellence built by and for America.
MPA was selected as the delivery partner on the project in February 2024. The delivery partner model has an internationally proven track record for helping public agencies deliver large-scale infrastructure projects. The collaborative delivery partner model has an internationally proven success record for helping public- and private-sector organizations deliver large-scale capital projects with benchmark efficiency and socioeconomic benefits.

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

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

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

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

, /PRNewswire/ -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against Lantheus Holdings, Inc. ("Lantheus" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: LNTH) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) today announced that Carnival Corporation (the "Company") priced its private offering (the "Notes Offering") of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "Notes").
The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem its $2.0 billion 6.000% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "2029 Unsecured Notes") after the closing of the Notes Offering.
The transaction is a continuation of the Company's strategy to reduce interest expense. In addition, the indenture that will govern the Notes will have investment grade-style covenants.
The Notes Offering is expected to close on October 15, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Notes will pay interest semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2026 at a rate of 5.125% per year. The Notes will be unsecured and will mature on May 1, 2029. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by Carnival plc and certain of the Company's and Carnival plc's subsidiaries that also guarantee our first-priority secured indebtedness, certain of our other unsecured notes and our convertible notes.
This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2029 Unsecured Notes.
The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Oatly Announces Issuance of SEK 1,700 million Nordic Bonds, Entry into SEK 750 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Intention to Complete Prepayment of Term Loan B, as well as Repurchase and Cancellation of Certain Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028
MALMÖ, Sweden, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oatly Group AB (Nasdaq: OTLY) (“Oatly” or the “Company”) announced today that it has issued SEK denominated senior secured floating rate bonds in a total amount of SEK 1,700 million (the “Nordic Bonds”), entered into a new sustainability-linked SEK 750 million super senior revolving credit facility agreement and intends to complete its repurchase of certain U.S. Notes (as defined below).
Marie-José David, Oatly’s CFO, commented, “These transactions represent yet another step forward in our company’s transformation journey. They strengthen our financial foundation by reducing our total outstanding debt, lowering costs related to the remaining outstanding debt, improving the terms of our capital structure, as well as reducing the dilution impact of our convertible notes. We have done all this while not raising additional financing and our business plan remaining fully funded.”
The proceeds from the Nordic Bonds will initially fund into an escrow account and are intended to be released to the Company on or around October 3, 2025, subject to customary conditions. The new senior revolving credit facility is intended to become effective thereafter, subject to prepayment in full of the group’s existing $130 million term loan B credit facility (the “TLB”) and customary conditions. As previously communicated, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Nordic Bonds to prepay the TLB in full, to repurchase and cancel certain of its U.S. Notes as further described below and to pay related transaction costs.
The proceeds from the Nordic Bonds will also be used to complete the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Repurchase Agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) which the Company entered into on September 9, 2025, with certain accredited investors (the “Selling Noteholders”) that are holders of the Company’s 9.25% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (CUSIP No. 67421J AC2) (the “U.S. Notes”). The transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreements will result in U.S. Notes sold by the Selling Noteholders being cancelled and no longer outstanding, and are expected to close on or around October 3, 2025, following release of the Nordic Bonds proceeds from escrow and prepayment of the TLB in full and subject to customary conditions.
Additional information regarding the foregoing transactions may be found in a Form 6-K that will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. There can be no assurances that the transactions will be completed as described herein or at all.

how our future business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by reduced or limited availability of oats and other raw materials and ingredients, which meet our quality standards, that our limited number of suppliers are able to sell us; how a failure to obtain necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product manufacturing and development and other operations; those concerning our cash and cash equivalents maintained at financial institutions, often in balances that exceed federally insured limits; any damage or disruption at our production facilities, which manufacture the primary components of all our products; harm to our brand or reputation due to real or perceived quality, food safety, nutrition or sustainability issues with our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations; food safety and food-borne illness incidents or other safety concerns that have led to product recalls and how such events may in the future materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations by exposing us to lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions, increasing our operating costs and reducing demand for our product offerings; how a failure by our suppliers of raw materials or co-manufacturers to comply with food safety, environmental or other laws and regulations, or with the specifications and requirements of our products, may disrupt our supply of products and adversely affect our business; we may not be able to compete successfully in our highly competitive markets; risks from consolidation of customers or the loss of a significant customer; a reduction in sales of our oatmilk varieties, which contribute a significant portion of our revenue, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; relying heavily on our co-manufacturing partners; our strategic partnerships with co-manufacturers may not be successful, which could adversely affect our operations and manufacturing strategy; failure by our logistics providers to deliver our products on time, or at all, could result in lost sales; that we may not successfully ramp up operations at any of our facilities, or these facilities may not operate in accordance with our expectations; a failure to effectively expand our processing, manufacturing and production capacity through existing facilities, or a failure to find acceptable co-manufacturing or co-manufacturing partners to help us expand, as we continue to grow and scale our business to a steady operating level; failure to develop and maintain our brand; failure to develop or introduce new products or successfully improve existing products may adversely affect our ability to continue to grow; a failure to cost-effectively acquire new customers and consumers or retain our existing customers and consumers, or a failure to derive revenue from our existing customers consistent with our historical performance; consumer preferences for our products are difficult to predict and may change, and, if we are unable to respond quickly to new trends, our business may be adversely affected; a failure to manage our future growth effectively; impairment charges for long-lived assets and other exit costs in connection with our production facilities, and how we may need to recognize further costs in the future; sustainability risks (including environmental, climate change, uncertainty about future related mandatory disclosure requirements, and broader corporate social responsibility matters), which may materially adversely affect our business as a result of lawsuits, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, complaints concerning our disclosures, impacts on our operations and supply chain (particularly in connection with the physical impacts of climate change), and impacts on our brand and reputation; reliance on information technology systems and how any inadequacy, failure or interruption of, or cybersecurity incidents affecting, those systems may harm our reputation and ability to effectively operate our business; how cybersecurity incidents or other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers; risks associated with how our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us; difficulties as we expand our operations into countries in which we have no prior operating experience; risks associated with the international nature of our business; the successful execution of the strategic review of the Company’s Greater China operations, the outcome of the strategic review and the market reaction thereto; how our operations in China could expose us to substantial business, regulatory, political, financial and economic risks; our strategic reset in Asia may not be successful; if we fail to comply with trade compliance and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the United States, the EU and other applicable international jurisdictions, it could materially adversely affect our reputation and results of operations; packaging costs are volatile and may rise significantly; how fluctuations in our results of operations may impact, and may have a disproportionate effect on, our overall financial condition and results of operations; how litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities or costs and have a negative impact on our reputation or business; our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all; failure to retain our senior management or to attract, train and retain qualified employees; if we cannot maintain our company culture or focus on our mission as we grow, our success and our business and competitive position may be harmed; our insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims or we may be unable to find insurance with sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost; disruptions in the worldwide economy; macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation, interest rates and supply chain constraints; global conflicts, other effects of ongoing wars and conflicts, and increasing geopolitical tensions and changes to international trade policies, treaties and tariffs, including as a result of the emergence of a trade war; the risk that legal claims, government investigations or other regulatory enforcement actions could subject us to civil and criminal penalties; how our operations are subject to U.S., EU, China and other laws and regulations, and there is no assurance that we will be in compliance with all regulations; changes in existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations, may increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; how we are subject to stringent environmental regulation and potentially subject to environmental litigation, proceedings and investigations; failure to protect our intellectual property, enforce or defend our intellectual property and other proprietary rights adequately, which may impact our commercial success; if we are unable to remediate material weaknesses, or if other material weaknesses are identified, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner; how our largest shareholder has significant influence over us, including significant influence over decisions that require the approval of shareholders; and the other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2025 and our other filings with the SEC as such factors may be updated from time to time.
