Fees will bleed crypto treasury companies for decades | Protos

Now the May 2025 crypto treasury stock bubble has well and truly burst, analysts are reviewing the fine print that many investors ignored when they bid up stocks as high as 23x multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV). Digging through Security and Exchange Commission filings, they’ve unearthed millions of dollars in eye-popping fees. Investors primarily value crypto treasury sector stocks, unlike traditional companies, based on the value of a company’s crypto holdings multiplied by mNAV. This mNAV multiplier fluctuates alongside investors’ confidence, fear, and greed. Ultimately, crypto treasury companies trade based on executives’ ability to instill confidence that they will sustainably accrete crypto holdings to shareholders on a dilution-adjusted basis. For up to 20 years into the future, however, publicly-listed crypto treasury companies will be quietly paying advisors and asset managers lavish pay packages . With annual service fees of up to 2% plus options, wa...

SEC confirms end of XRP lawsuit

After five years, the long-running Ripple v. the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally been laid to rest. According to Commissioner Hester Pierce, the SEC can now redirect its efforts toward creating a clear regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto industry. Pierce’s attitude was echoed by SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, who added in a social media post that the agency would also focus on fostering innovation while protecting investors. Commissioner Peirce is right. With this chapter closed, we now have an opportunity to shift our energy from the courtroom to the policy drafting table. Our focus should be on building a clear regulatory framework that fosters innovation while protecting investors. #ProjectCrypto — Paul Atkins (@SECPaulSAtkins) August 11, 2025 The broader market, however, appears most interested in potential new spot XRP ETFs, with Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg even suggesting that they could outperform Ethereum (ETH...

XRP Surges 11% As Ripple, SEC Drop Appeals, Ending Landmark Legal Fight

Image
The XRP price surged almost 12% after Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission ended their years-long legal battle, jointly dismissing appeals in a case that has loomed large over crypto regulation since 2020. According to an Aug. 7 court filing , the Second Circuit Appeals Court acknowledged the dismissal of both Ripple and the SEC’s appeals, effectively finalizing the 2023 ruling by Judge Analisa Torres. The court also noted that each party will bear its own legal costs and fees. “The end,” said Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty in an Aug. 7 X post. “And now back to business.” Ripple Still To Pay $125 Million Fine While Ripple will still pay a $125 million fine over institutional XRP sales—far less than the $2 billion originally sought by the SEC—t he joint dismissal means that the 2023 ruling by New York judge Analisa Torres stands as precedent. Her decision was at the heart of the appeals filed last year and ...

XRP Falls Below $3: Will the Downturn Continue?

Image
Ripple’s native token XRP fell below the $3 mark on Wednesday, shedding 2.5% of its value. The leading altcoin remains rangebound in the charts, offering little to no price spurts this month. The Ripple’s token went north in the last three months, generating stellar returns to traders. The ongoing dip in price comes after the broader markets experienced volatility due to trade wars and tariffs. Source: CoinGecko After Trump slapped India and Brazil with 25% and 50% tariffs, respectively, the markets remain in muddy waters. Dow Jones is down nearly 600 points since then, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped by 225 points. In addition, the S&P 500 index has shed nearly 85 points, and the downturn persists. All of these pushed XRP below the $3 mark and even the cryptocurrency market is trading in the back foot.
