WE LIVED IT. WE LEARNED IT. WE BUILT THE SOLUTION.
This is not a sales pitch. This is our war story — the reason CURRENC Capital exists.

April – July 2025
The Attack
Short sellers are part of the market. We understood that. What we did not expect was a coordinated, sustained assault on our equity.
Massive short attacks with huge FTD (Failed-to-Deliver) volumes — evidence of naked short selling
Share price collapsed from listing highs to a devastating low of $0.32
Market capitalization fell below $13 million
Received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq — threatening our listing status
Quant and high-frequency hedge funds running almost 100% algorithmic execution — responsible for a sustained, slow "death spiral" of share price suppression over months
"We did not read about short attacks in a textbook. We watched our market cap evaporate in real time."

November 3, 2025
The Breaking Point
The day we announced our landmark RTO with Animoca Brands — one of the leading Web3 and digital asset groups in the world — should have been a celebration. Instead, it was an ambush.
The moment the market opened, our shares were hit with massive short orders
18 consecutive short-circuit breakers triggered in a single trading day
A landmark partnership announcement was weaponized against us
We realized: short sellers do not care about your good news. They care about your destruction.
"They shorted us on the best day of our corporate life. That is when we knew this was not business. This was war."
Every Night. Every Morning.
The Nightmare You Cannot Wake Up From
The attacks were not just numbers on a screen. They were sleepless nights. Racing hearts at 3 AM. The dread of knowing what the opening bell would bring.
The 3 AM terror. Waking up in the middle of the night, checking your phone, praying the pre-market price has not cratered further. It always has.
The countdown to 9:30 AM. Every morning felt like walking into a courtroom where the verdict was already decided — guilty, and your share price was the sentence.
The helplessness. Knowing your company is executing on its strategy, signing deals, building real value — and watching the market punish you anyway. There is nothing you can say. Nothing you can do.
The death spiral. Quant and high-frequency hedge funds running almost 100% algorithmic execution — relentlessly suppressing your share price, day after day, month after month. Not a quick kill. A slow, systematic bleed designed to grind you into irrelevance.
The silence from those who should help. Your board looks to you. Your shareholders look to you. And you have no answer. Because the system is not built to protect you. It is built to let them win.
"If you have never watched your company's market cap evaporate while you eat breakfast, you do not understand what we are fighting against. This is not a chart. This is a nightmare."

Throughout 2025
We Tried Everything. Nothing Worked.
In our desperation, we explored every conventional avenue. Each one failed — not because we were naive, but because the system is structurally rigged against the target company.
What We Tried
What Happened
ShareIntelligent Investigation
Appointed July 2025. No actionable results. No evidence that regulators could use.
Regulatory Complaint
Informed regulators of our situation. Response: "Without solid evidence, there is nothing we can do."
IR Firm Advice
Recommended engaging research analysts to cover our company — at additional cost. No structural defense offered.
Shareholder Stock Loans
Shareholders pledged shares for liquidity. Institutions sold those shares into the open market, further depressing the price.
Equity Raises
With a $0.32 share price, issuing new shares was massively dilutive and costly. Defeated the purpose of being listed.

The Turning Point
The Hard Lessons
Every failure taught us something critical about the system — and about what was missing. These lessons became the blueprint for our arsenal.
Visibility is everything. We had no idea who was shorting us or where our shares were being lent. Without intelligence, you are fighting blind.
Prime Brokers are not your friends. The shares we deposited were being rehypothecated — your own custody arrangement funds your destruction.
Traditional stock loans destroy value. Shareholders seeking liquidity pledged shares to institutions who promptly sold them into the market.
No one sells a weapon that actually works. IR firms, consultants, and "specialists" all take fees. None offer structural solutions.
A listing means nothing if you cannot defend it. A suppressed share price turns your public company into a liability, not an asset.
The psychological toll is real. Quant and algo-driven hedge funds execute nearly 100% algorithmic short attacks — creating a slow, grinding "death spiral" that wears down your psyche as much as your share price. The 3 AM terror is part of their strategy.
Social media is a battlefield. Coordinated smear campaigns on Reddit, X, and Stocktwits can spread hoaxes faster than your IR team can respond. By the time you see the damage, the narrative has already taken hold.
What We Built
FORGED FROM NECESSITY
Every weapon in our arsenal was built in the trenches — because our survival depended on it.
Weapon 01
C-Intelligence (SaaS)
The Problem:We had no visibility into our shareholder composition, short positions, lending activity, or social media narratives. We were flying blind while sophisticated actors dismantled our equity — and spreading coordinated hoaxes about our company online.
The Solution:The first and only platform that enables real-time tracking of both traditional and tokenized shares across multiple blockchains and lending platforms.
Full shareholder composition mapping
Real-time short interest tracking across prime brokers
"We built the radar we wished we had. Now you can see the attack before it hits."
Weapon 02
C-Tokenization (TaaS)
The Problem:We discovered that shares deposited with Prime Brokers were being lent into the global lending pool and rehypothecated — a single share backing multiple short positions.
The Solution:SEC-compliant share tokenization that removes shares from the Prime Broker lending pool and places them on-chain — permanently out of reach.
Remove shares from the global lending pool permanently
ERC-1400 security tokens with programmable compliance
Live on Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche
Filed with the SEC — fully compliant
Once tokenized, shares cannot be re-lent
"We learned Prime Brokers lend your shares to short sellers. So we built a way to take your shares off their table — permanently."
Weapon 03
C-Lending (DeFi)
The Problem:Shareholders needed liquidity but did not want to sell. Traditional stock loan institutions sold their pledged shares into the market, further crushing the price.
The Solution:DeFi lending that lets shareholders pledge tokenized shares as collateral to borrow stablecoins — without shares ever touching the open market.
Unlock liquidity WITHOUT selling — no price pressure
Pledged shares locked in smart contracts
No margin calls, no forced liquidations
No hypothecation — structural vulnerability eliminated
Access to Aave, Kamino, Morpho protocols
"Traditional stock loans sell pledged shares and destroy your price. Our DeFi lending keeps shares locked — liquidity without the damage."
Weapon 04
C-DEX Listing
The Problem:Traditional exchanges limit trading to market hours, require settlement cycles, and restrict access to global investors.
The Solution:Strategic partnerships with leading Solana DEXs, enabling continuous 24/7 trading of tokenized shares.
24/7 trading — no market hours limitation
Global access — any jurisdiction, no brokerage needed
Instant settlement — T+0 via blockchain
$2T+ crypto investor base accessible
Tight spreads via an institutional market-making partnership
"Your shares trade 8 hours a day on one exchange. Ours trade 24/7 on global markets. Which do you think short sellers prefer?"
The Results
PROOF IN NUMBERS
We do not ask you to trust our strategy. We ask you to trust our results — because we achieved them while under the same attack you are facing now.
We did not theorize these solutions. We deployed them on ourselves — while under active attack. The numbers speak for themselves.
We built this arsenal for ourselves. Now we offer it to every public company facing the same enemy.
Our mission is simple: give public companies the weapons and the intelligence to fight back against short attacks, defend their valuation, and reclaim control of their equity.
Short sellers have institutional-grade tools, Prime Broker relationships, and regulatory blind spots working in their favor. Public companies have had nothing — until now.
"We did not build CURRENC Capital to sell services. We built it because we needed it to survive. And now that we have survived, we are making sure no other public company has to fight with one hand tied behind their back."
