PANews reported on December 8th, citing Bloomberg, that the median stock price of publicly traded digital asset treasuries (DATs) in the US and Canada has fallen by 43% this year. In contrast, Bitcoin has only fallen by about 6% since the beginning of the year. Ethereum treasury company SharpLink's stock price has fallen 86% from its peak, and its market capitalization is even lower than the value of its digital token holdings. Currently, the company's stock price is approximately 0.9 times the value of its Ethereum holdings. SharpLink previously announced it was abandoning its original gaming business and instead issuing shares to purchase a large amount of Ethereum, causing its stock price to surge by over 2600% in a few days. However, it is relatively fortunate compared to Greenlane, whose stock price has plummeted by over 99% this year despite holding approximately $48 million worth of BRA crypto tokens. Furthermore, the stock price of Alt5 Sigma, a WLFI treasury company supported by Trump's two sons, has fallen by approximately 86% since its June peak. Some fortunate DAT companies still have market capitalizations higher than their underlying holdings, but most investors who bought near their peak have lost money, and 70% of these companies' share prices are likely to fall below their beginning-of-year levels by the end of the year. The worst performers are publicly traded companies that have avoided Bitcoin in favor of smaller, more volatile tokens. This volatility is at least partly due to the heavy borrowing by these companies when acquiring cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, for smaller, lesser-known DAT companies, the chances of raising capital are even slimmer as cryptocurrency prices fall and investor enthusiasm wanes.PANews reported on December 8th, citing Bloomberg, that the median stock price of publicly traded digital asset treasuries (DATs) in the US and Canada has fallen by 43% this year.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets.
