Nasdaq Nordic resumes trading after glitch prompts order cancellations
MILAN (Reuters) -Trading on the Nasdaq Nordic platform resumed as normal on Wednesday, a day after a technical glitch disrupted equity order data and led to the cancellation of trades. The issue began at 1500 GMT on Tuesday and affected cash equities, ETPs and equity derivatives on Nasdaq Stockholm, Helsinki and Iceland, according to a statement on Wednesday. Nasdaq said it had cancelled all trades from the time of the incident and communicated the cancellations to affected members. On Wednesday the incident was marked as "resolved" on the bourse operator's website, with "all systems normal". A fund manager in Helsinki said trading appeared to be back to normal and back-office teams were handling trade cancellations. "No major fuss, but some extra work for them," he said. Nasdaq said the root cause of the problem had been identified and fixed.

Why is Penny Stock Salarius Pharmaceuticals (SLRX) Up 182% Today?
Penny stock Salarius Pharmaceuticals (SLRX) skyrocketed over 182% on Tuesday morning. The upside came after the company received an extension from Nasdaq to regain compliance with listing rules. The extension gives the struggling biotech company a chance to avoid being delisted. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. SLRX Stock's Delisting Extension Deadlines The Nasdaq panel gave Salarius more time to meet two major listing rules. Firstly, Salarius has until mid-August 2025 to raise its stockholders' equity to at least $2.5 million. Further, the company has until late August 2025 to get its stock price back above $1.00. It is worth noting that Salarius received a delisting warning on April 23, 2025, as its stock had remained below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. Normally, companies get 180 days to fix this, but the biotech stock did not qualify since it had already done a reverse stock split in the past year. Road Ahead for Salarius The compliance extension is dependent on Salarius meeting certain goals and keeping Nasdaq informed of its progress. Investors are also watching the company's planned merger with Decoy Therapeutics, a private biotech firm working on peptide conjugate therapeutics. The merger is expected to bring new assets and funding to Salarius. Together, the companies aim to advance treatments for respiratory viruses and gastrointestinal cancers. While Salarius stock's surge reflects renewed optimism, it is not without risk. The company remains under pressure to meet Nasdaq's deadlines and successfully close its merger. If it fails to comply, SLRX stock could be delisted. Is SLRX a Buy or Sell? According to the TipRanks AI analyst, SLRX stock received a score of 30 out of 100 with an Underperform rating. Salarius' unstable financials, with falling revenue and ongoing losses, hurt its stock rating. Also, a negative P/E ratio and absence of dividends make it less appealing to value or income investors.

Fundamental Global Inc. to be Renamed FG Nexus Inc. Fundamental Global Co-Founder Joe Moglia to serve as Executive Advisor to the Company Maja Vujinovic, an Early Blockchain Pioneer, to Lead the Digital Asset Business Strategic and financial investors include Galaxy Digital, Kraken, Hivemind Capital, Syncracy Capital, Digital Currency Group (DCG), and Kenetic Charlotte, NC, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fundamental Global Inc. (Nasdaq: FGF, FGFPP) (the 'Company' or 'Fundamental Global') today announced the pricing and signing of a private placement for the purchase and sale of 40,000,000 prefunded common stock warrants at a price of $5.00 (inclusive of the $0.001 exercise price) per warrant for expected aggregate gross proceeds of $200 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (funded in a combination of cash and cryptocurrencies) to launch the Company's Ethereum treasury strategy. Fundamental Global offers investors a capital markets vehicle engineered for Ethereum - the foundation of digital finance and settlement layer for the majority of stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenized assets. The Company's structure aims to provide investors with multiple value drivers beyond ETH price appreciation, including staking rewards that support network security and access to tokenized real-world asset opportunities. With industry leaders bridging Wall Street, Decentralized Finance, and backed by world-class financial and digital assets institutions, the Company is uniquely positioned to help support the rapid adoption of Ethereum by the global financial ecosystem, which already has stablecoins leading the way. Strategic and financial investors participating in the private placement include Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY), one of the world's leading digital asset investment firms led by CEO Mike Novogratz. Galaxy will also serve as a strategic advisor to Fundamental Global, managing its Ethereum treasury and providing asset management, yield execution, and infrastructure support. Other strategic investors include Kraken, who will work with FG Nexus strategically on treasury management and staking. The private placement saw participation from top tier global financial institutions as well as Hivemind Capital, Syncracy Capital, Digital Currency Group (DCG), and Kenetic. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to purchase ETH, which will serve as the Company's primary treasury reserve asset. In addition to its Ethereum treasury and staking strategy, the Company is in a unique position to apply its digital expertise in its merchant banking and reinsurance businesses to fuel the adoption of the Ethereum blockchain in real-world finance. As part of the transformation, the Company will rebrand as FG Nexus Inc., with new ticker symbols FGNX and FGNXP expected to go live shortly. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about August 1, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following the closing of the offering FG Nexus's digital asset strategy will be led by a deeply experienced team: Maja Vujinovic , CEO of Digital Assets, is an early pioneer, investor, and operator in cryptocurrencies, blockchain and AI. She helped shape the industry by acquiring the first bank for Tether and in her role as CIO of Emerging Technologies at GE, where she launched one of the first institutional-grade finance transactions on blockchain in 2015. Theodore Rosenthal , President of Digital Assets, is a hedge fund founder and manager of TMR Capital which is focused on value and event-driven equity strategies. TMR Capital is an advisor to over $2 billion in family office capital across equities and crypto and was an early investor in AI and crypto projects such asMaker, Aave, and Hyperliquid. Mr. Rosenthal is a Member of the Value Investors Club and a frequent speaker at MOI Global and other forums. Jose Vargas , Head of Business Development, was a seed investor in one of the largest Digital Assets Treasury companies. Mr. Vargas founded and exited 5 companies, including AutoWeb, BlueKite (PayPal), and BrokersWeb. He is a Co-founder and board member of ($1B+ valuation), Osigu, and PeopleFund as well as a seed investor in crypto ventures such as Akash Network. A Leadership Team Bridging Wall Street, DeFi and Web3 Joe Moglia , former Chairman and CEO of TD Ameritrade, will serve as Executive Advisor to FG Nexus, bringing decades of financial leadership and public markets expertise. Said Moglia, 'Throughout my career, I have seen foundational shifts that fundamentally alter global markets. Ethereum is the foundation layer for the next generation of financial services, and I believe that what we are creating at FG Nexus is the most strategic way for investors to not only gain access to ETH, but also participate in the future of the world's fast evolving financial system.' Kyle Cerminara , CEO and Chairman of the Company, stated, 'This marks a pivotal moment in our evolution. FG Nexus will leverage our deep capabilities in merchant banking, reinsurance, and capital markets to unlock the full potential of Ethereum as a reserve asset. We're honored to welcome Joe Moglia in an advisory capacity and thrilled to have Maja, Jose, and Theodore at the helm of our digital asset strategy. This is the future of capital allocation.' Maja Vujinovic , CEO of the Digital Asset division, added, 'Ethereum isn't just infrastructure, it's personal. As CIO of GE, I helped bring Ethereum inside one of the world's largest companies, working with Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder, to explore smart contracts across a variety of business lines. That conviction hasn't changed At FG Nexus, we're building the institutional-grade rails for Ethereum treasuries, secure, transparent, yield-driven. With today marking Ethereum's 10-year anniversary, I am thrilled to be part of the next chapter in a journey that started a decade ago.' Legacy Asset Trust and Shareholder Alignment In parallel, the Company will form FG CVR Trust , a Delaware Statutory Trust, (the 'FG CVR Trust') to hold legacy non-core assets. Common shareholders of record as of August 8, 2025 will receive a non-transferable Contingent Value Right (CVR) linked to monetization of these legacy positions, ensuring alignment with long-term value creation.
