Up to 18,121,496 Shares of Common Stock
Including 17,784,064 Shares of Common Stock Underlying 39,943 Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus (the "Selling Stockholders") of up to 18,121,496 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, including 337,432 shares of Common Stock currently issued and outstanding and 17,784,064 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 39,943 shares of Series B preferred stock ("Series B Preferred") held directly or indirectly by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders.
We will bear all registration expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred (the "Conversion Shares"). The Selling Stockholders will be responsible for any underwriting discounts, selling commissions, and similar expenses incurred for the sale of their Conversion Shares.
Each share of Series B Preferred has a stated value of $1,000 and is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $2.246 per share of Series B Preferred. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required before we may issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of closing of the offering of the Series B Preferred Shares.. Based on the conversion price, the Series B Preferred are convertible into up to 17,784,064 shares of common stock, with each Selling Stockholder's fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share, which represents the number of shares being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "AIXC." The last reported sales price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 1, 2025 was 2.35 per share.
On November 5, 2024, we implemented 1-for-50 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. The share and per share data presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse split.
An investment in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 18 of this prospectus before you make your decision to invest in our securities.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Overview
Until September 19, 2025, we were solely an early-clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on developing treatments for adult and pediatric cancer. Our business now consists of one early-clinical-stage therapeutic program (QN-302) and one preclinical therapeutic program (Pan-RAS).
On October 12, 2025, the Company announced that the C10 Treasury, a subsidiary of the Company, began purchasing its first batch of strategic assets. The Company has established infrastructure such as US dollar cash settlement, bank accounts, and cryptocurrency custody accounts. We are utilizing an 80% passive and 20% active allocation strategy with 80% of the C10 Treasury closely tracking the C10 index, investing in the top 10 cryptocurrencies based on market capitalization, and 20% of the Treasury being allocated to the top 10 cryptocurrencies based on the team's quantitative analysis. The 20% active allocation strategy will be further upgraded to include active hedging strategies including stablecoins, options, and structured products. We intend to employ, among other things, a Quantitatively Driven module to help accurately identify those fundamentally superior assets that have been "mis-prioritized" in the cryptocurrency market.
On April 11, 2024, we entered into a Co-Development Agreement (the "Co-Development Agreement") with Marizyme, Inc. ("Marizyme"). The Co-Development Agreement contemplated that we would invest an aggregate of $800,000 in Marizyme in April 2024 (the "Funding Payment") and pay Marizyme a $200,000 Exclusivity Fee (Provided, that if the parties so agree the total Funding Payment can be increased from time to time to up to a total of $1,500,000.) To date our Funding Payment investment has been $500,000, and in July 2024 we have advanced an additional $1,250,000 pursuant to an 18% demand promissory note, and in August 2024 we amended the Co-Development Agreement to increase the total Funding Payment to up to a total of $1,750,000. In October 2025, we advanced an additional $100,000 to Marizyme and increased the amount of the demand promissory note in this amount. The Funding Payment is designed to provide financial support for commercialization of Marizyme's DuraGraft™ vascular conduit solution, which is indicated for adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgeries and is intended for the flushing and storage of the saphenous vein grafts used in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. In return for the Funding Payment we will receive quarterly 33% payment in the nature of royalties on any Net Sales (as defined with a meaning tantamount to gross profit on net sales) of DuraGraft, capped at double the amount of the Funding Payment cash provided. No such payments-in-the-nature-of-royalties would accrue until after DuraGraft has been launched in the United States and a cumulative total of $500,000 of DuraGraft Net Sales have been made in the United States.
The Exclusivity Fee entitled us to an exclusivity period until May 31, 2024 (the "Exclusivity Period") for purposes of proposing and outlining a broader strategic relationship with Marizyme with regard to Marizyme's DuraGraft business. The Exclusivity Period has ended, and we do not intend to expand the Exclusivity Period.

Our lead program, QN-302, is an investigational small molecule G-quadruplexes (G4)-selective transcription inhibitor with strong binding affinity to G4s prevalent in cancer cells (such as pancreatic cancer). Such binding could, by stabilizing the G4s against DNA "unwinding," help inhibit cancer cell proliferation. QN-302 is currently undergoing a Phase 1a clinical trial at START Midwest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and HonorHealth in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Our Pan-RAS program, which is currently at the preclinical stage, consists of a family of RAS oncogene protein-protein interaction inhibitor small molecules believed to inhibit or block mutated RAS genes' proteins from binding to their effector proteins thereby leaving the proteins from the mutated RAS unable to cause further harm. In theory, such mechanism of action may be effective in the treatment of about one quarter of all cancers, including certain forms of pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers. The investigational compounds within our Pan-RAS portfolio are designed to suppress the interaction of endogenous RAS with c-RAF, upstream of the KRAS, HRAS and NRAS effector pathways.
On July 20, 2023, we sold our Qualigen, Inc. subsidiary, which contained our former FastPack® diagnostics business to Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. ("Chembio"), an American subsidiary of French diagnostics provider Biosynex, S.A. The aggregate net purchase price for Qualigen, Inc. was $5.4 million in cash, of which $450,000 was being held in escrow to satisfy certain of our indemnification obligations until January 20, 2025. On June 4, 2024, the $450,000 escrow account was settled early and liquidated by mutual agreement between us and Chembio. In exchange for the early settlement, $350,000 was paid to the Company, and $100,000 was paid to Chembio. This settlement resulted in a $100,000 loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2024.
On May 22, 2020, we completed a "reverse recapitalization" transaction with Qualigen, Inc. (not to be confused with the Company); pursuant to which our merger subsidiary merged with and into Qualigen, Inc. with Qualigen, Inc. surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company, which had previously been known as Ritter Pharmaceuticals, Inc., was renamed Qualigen Therapeutics, Inc., and the former stockholders of Qualigen, Inc. acquired, via the recapitalization, a substantial majority of the shares of the Company. Ritter/Qualigen Therapeutics common stock, which was previously traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "RTTR," commenced trading on Nasdaq, on a post-reverse-stock-split adjusted basis, under the ticker symbol "QLGN" on May 26, 2020. We are no longer pursuing the gastrointestinal disease treatment business on which Ritter Pharmaceuticals, Inc. had focused before the reverse recapitalization transaction.
On November 14, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its name to AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. The Company's symbol change to "AIXC" took effect on The Nasdaq Capital Market November 20, 2025.
Minority Interest in NanoSynex
We own a minority interest in NanoSynex, Ltd. ("NanoSynex"), a privately-held microbiologics diagnostic company domiciled in Israel. NanoSynex's technology is for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing that aims to enable better targeting of antibiotics for their most suitable uses to ultimately result in faster and more efficacious treatment, hence reducing hospitals' mortality and morbidity rates. On May 26, 2022, we acquired a 52.8% interest in NanoSynex from our related party Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha") and NanoSynex, and entered into a Master Agreement for the Operational and Technological Funding of NanoSynex with NanoSynex (the "NanoSynex Funding Agreement"). On July 20, 2023, we entered into an Amendment and Settlement Agreement with NanoSynex (the "NanoSynex Amendment"), pursuant to which we agreed to, in exchange for eliminating all future NanoSynex Funding Agreement obligations for us to invest further cash in NanoSynex (except for obligations to lend NanoSynex $560,000 on or before November 30, 2023, and $670,000 on or before March 31, 2024), surrender 281,000 Series B Preferred Shares of NanoSynex held by us, resulting in our ownership in NanoSynex being reduced from approximately 52.8% to approximately 49.97% of the voting equity of NanoSynex; in addition, we agreed to surrender approximately $3.0 million of promissory notes which NanoSynex had issued to us under the Funding Agreement. On November 22, 2023 we further agreed to eliminate our obligations to lend NanoSynex $560,000 on or before November 30, 2023, and $670,000 on or before March 31, 2024, by instead surrendering shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of NanoSynex in an amount that reduced our ownership in NanoSynex voting equity from approximately 49.97% to 39.90%.
Recent Developments
The following is a summary of certain material developments since our most recent quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Private Placement Offering
On September 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with certain investors (the "Subscribers"), including Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI)(the "Lead Investor") pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase $41,000,000 in cash (the "Offering") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") and shares of a newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B Stock"). The purchase price of the Common Stock was $2.246 per share and the purchase price for the Series B Stock was $1,000 per share (the "Stated Value"). At the closing of the Offering (the "Closing"), the shares of Common Stock and Series B Stock will be allocated among the investors so that no purchaser's ownership of Common Stock will exceed 19.99% of the number of shares outstanding (the "Exchange Cap").
The Company intends to use up to $6,800,000 of the net cash proceeds from the Offering to pay existing debt and fund the Company's existing business operations, and the balance of the cash proceeds and contributed currency will be used for the establishment of the Company's cryptocurrency treasury operations.
The rights and preferences of the Series B Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation"). The Series B Stock is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Stated Value of the number of Series B Stock being converted divided by the conversion price of $2.246 (the "Conversion Shares"). The Series B Stock may not be converted until the Company has obtained the vote of a majority of its stockholders with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, including the issuance of Conversion Shares as an issuance greater than the Exchange Cap pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635 and the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to certain advisors of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement (the "Stockholder Approval"). Following the Stockholder Approval, the Series B Stock may be exercised at any time until all of the Series B Stock has been converted in full, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations.
The Series B Stock will vote together with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, other than modification of the rights relating to the holders of Series B Stock, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Stock. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the holders of the Series B Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to $1,000, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under the Certificate of Designation, for each share of Series B Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities (as defined under the Certificate of Designation), and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders.
The Company agreed to use its best efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval by the written consent of its stockholders or at a special meeting of stockholders (the "Stockholders' Meeting") no later than October 29, 2025 (or November 28, 2025 in the event that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission conducts a review of the preliminary information statement filed in connection with any written consent of stockholders or preliminary proxy statement filed in connection with the Stockholders' Meeting. The Company obtained Stockholder Approval on November 12, 2025 at the Stockholders' Meeting.
| 8 |
The issuance and sale of the Common Stock, the Series B Stock and the Conversion Shares (the "Securities") will not be, and are not, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. The Securities will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein), the Company is required to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the Common Stock and the Conversion Shares within 45 days of the Closing and use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective 45 days thereafter.
The closing of the Offering occurred on September 29, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Placement Agency Agreements
The Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with Univest Securities LLC (the "Placement Agent"), dated September 19, 2025, pursuant to which the Placement Agent will act as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and to issue to the Placement Agent (or its designees) warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 6% of the securities sold in the Offering, which will be exercisable immediately following the closing date, and have an initial exercise price per share of Common Stock of $2.47 (the "Placement Agent Warrants"). In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $150,000 of its fees and expenses.
Registration Rights Agreement
Also on September 19, 2025, the Company and the Subscribers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the "Resale Registration Statement"), providing for the resale of the Common Stock and Conversion Shares within 45 days of the closing of the Closing, to have such registration statement declared effective with 45 days of the filing date (or 60 days, if the Securities and Exchange Commission conducts a full review) (the date of such effectiveness, the "Effective Date"), and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement.
Lead Investor Agreement
On September 19, 2025, the Company and the Lead Investor entered into a Lead Investor Agreement (the "Lead Investor Agreement"), pursuant to which: (i) the Company agreed to adopt a treasury reserve policy suitable to the Lead Investor; (ii) at the Closing the Company has agreed not to reduce the size of the Board of Directors to five members including the resignations of Cody Price, Campbell Becher and Robert Lim and the appointment of two designees of the Lead Investor; (iii) for as long as the Lead Investor owns at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock (the "Minimum Threshold") , the Lead Investor may appoint a number of directors in proportion to such ownership; (iv) the Company shall expand the size of the Board, at the request of the Lead Investor, if any Board nominee of the Lead Investor is not elected to the Board at a meeting of the stockholders and the Lead Investor shall have the exclusive right to fill such vacancy; (v) the Company shall appoint Jiawei Wang as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Koti Meka as the Chief Financial Officer; (vi) if the Lead Investor's ownership falls below the Minimum Threshold, the Lead Investor shall have the right to obtain Board meetings as a non-voting observer; and (vii) the Company agreed to not adversely amend any of the rights of the Lead Investor under the Lead Investor Agreement. In addition, until the Lead Investor's ownership falls below the Minimum Threshold, the Lead Investor shall have the right to participate in such Subsequent Financing up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to the percentage of the Lead Investor's beneficial ownership percentage of the Common Stock on the date of closing of such Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing
Voting Support Agreements
In addition, as of September 19, 2025, certain holders of the Company's Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Voting Stockholders") agreed to vote any and all of the Company's securities held by the Voting Stockholders in favor of the Stockholder Approval. As of the date of the Closing, it is anticipated the Voting Stockholders will hold a number of shares of the Company's voting capital stock to adopt the Stockholder Approval.
| 9 |
Advisory Agreement
On September 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Capital Market Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with About Investment Pte. (the "Advisor"). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor shall provide the Company independent capital markets advisory and consulting in connection with the Offering with the Lead Investor, assisting the Company with structuring and financing and other capital markets advice. In consideration for such services, the Company shall issue to the Advisor approximately 60,257 shares of Common Stock equal to five percent of the Company's outstanding Common Stock following the Closing.
Amended and Restated Secured Demand Note with Marizyme
On August 21, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Secured Demand Promissory Note (the "Amended and Restated Note") with Marizyme, Inc. in the principal amount of approximately $4.45 million, which amended and restated in full a prior note originally issued in July 2024. The Amended and Restated Note bears interest at a rate of 18% per annum and matures on August 21, 2026, with all outstanding principal and accrued interest due in a single balloon payment at maturity (subject to earlier demand upon an event of default). We agreed to conditionally forbear from demanding payment for 365 days following the issuance of the Amended and Restated Note unless an event of default occurs, in which case the interest rate increases by an additional 5% per annum.
In connection with the Amended and Restated Note, we entered into a Security Agreement granting us a security interest in substantially all of Marizyme's present and future personal property and intellectual property, including accounts receivable, deposit accounts, contract rights, equipment, fixtures, inventory, intellectual property (such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, domain names, trade secrets, and software), general intangibles, and the proceeds thereof. Our security interest is intended to be a first-priority lien, although the Security Agreement provides that if a prior lien is already perfected, our lien will be second in priority, and it may be subordinated in the future to certain institutional financing. The Amended and Restated Note further provides that Marizyme must remain current on all obligations secured by liens senior to ours. A default by Marizyme under any such senior obligations would constitute an immediate event of default under our note, entitling us to pursue remedies without further notice or demand.
On September 15, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Note. Amendment No. 1 corrected the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Note to August 21, 2026, increased the "Advance" and corresponding principal amount outstanding by $75,000, resulting in a revised outstanding principal balance of $4,526,462.18, and provided that the additional advance accrues interest at the same rate set forth in the Amended and Restated Note. Amendment No. 1 also reaffirmed that the Security Agreement and related loan documents remain in full force and effect and continue to secure all obligations, including the additional advance.
On October 30, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Note. Amendment No. 2 increased the "Advance" and corresponding principal amount outstanding by $100,000, resulting in a revised outstanding principal balance of $4,771,142, and provided that the additional advance accrues interest at the same rate set forth in Amendment No,1, Amendment No. 2 also reaffirmed that the Security Agreement and related loan documents remain in full force and effect and continue to secure all obligations, including the additional advance.
Nasdaq Listing Compliance
On September 4, 2025, we received a written decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel in response to our August 19, 2025 submission and request for a compliance determination. On July 24, 2025, the Panel had granted us an exception to remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, conditioned on demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Rule"), which requires companies to maintain stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million, by July 28, 2025. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025 reported stockholders' equity of approximately negative $1.6 million, and we did not evidence compliance by the required deadline.
| 10 |
Although our July 28, 2025 private placement of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and our August 21, 2025 amendment to the Marizyme note improved our stockholders' equity position, the Panel determined that these actions could not be considered as of the July 28, 2025 deadline. The Panel granted us a final exception to demonstrate compliance with the Equity Rule upon the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, which was filed on November 14, 2025. The Panel also noted that we have regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) regarding timely SEC reporting.
We the proceeds from the Offering have satisfied the Company's obligations with respect to the Equity Rule prior to the September 30, 2025 deadline.
Other Developments
Other financing transactions, charter amendments, and the reverse stock split completed prior to June 30, 2025 are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed during those periods, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
C10 Cryptocurrency Asset Treasury (DAT) Purchases
On October 12, 2025, the Company announced that the C10 Treasury, a subsidiary of the Company, began purchasing its first batch of strategic assets. The Company has established infrastructure such as US dollar cash settlement, bank accounts, and cryptocurrency custody accounts. We are utilizing an 80% passive and 20% active allocation strategy with 80% of the C10 Treasury closely tracking the C10 index, investing in the top 10 cryptocurrencies based on market capitalization, and 20% of the Treasury being allocated to the top 10 cryptocurrencies based on the team's quantitative analysis. The 20% active allocation strategy will be further upgraded to include active hedging strategies including stablecoins, options, and structured products. We intend to employ, among other things, a Quantitatively Driven module to help accurately identify those fundamentally superior assets that have been "mis-prioritized" in the cryptocurrency market.
Product Pipeline
QN-302
We exclusively in-licensed the global rights to the G-Quadruplex ("G4") selective transcription inhibitor platform from University College London ("UCL") in January 2022. The licensed technology comprises lead compound QN-302 (formerly known as SOP1812) and back-up compounds that target regulatory regions of cancer genes that down-regulate gene expression in multiple cancer pathways. Developed by Dr. Stephen Neidle and his group at UCL, the G4 binding concept is derived from nucleic acid research conducted over more than over 30 years, including research on G4s, which are higher order DNA and RNA structures formed by sequences containing guanine-rich repeats. G4s are overrepresented in telomeres (a region of repetitive DNA sequences at the end of a chromosome) as well as promoter sequences and untranslated regions of many oncogenes. Their prevalence is therefore significantly greater in cancer cells compared to normal human cells.
G4-selective small molecules such as QN-302 and backup compounds target the regulatory regions of cancer genes, which have a high prevalence of enriched G4s. Stable G4-QN-302 complexes can be impediments to replication, transcription or translation of those cancer genes containing G4s, and the drugs' binding to G4s are believed to stabilize the G4s against possible "unwinding." G4 binders like QN-302 could be efficacious in a variety of cancer types with a high prevalence of G4s.
We believe that QN-302 has the potential to demonstrate superior efficacy and activity against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ("PDAC"), which represents 98% of pancreatic cancers. Pancreatic cancer is the tenth most common cancer in men and the seventh most common in women, but it is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in men and the third leading cause in women; it accounts for about 3% of all cancers in the United States but is responsible for about 8% of all cancer-related deaths. It has one of the lowest rates of survival of all cancer types.
| 11 |
In-vitro and in-vivo studies have shown that G4 stabilization by QN-302 resulted in inhibition of target gene expression and cessation of cell growth in various cancers, including PDAC. In in-vitro studies, QN-302 was potent in inhibiting the growth of several PDAC cell lines at low nanomolar concentrations. Similarly, in in-vivo studies, QN-302 showed a longer survival duration in a KPC genetic mouse model for pancreatic cancer than gemcitabine (the current standard of care for PDAC) has historically shown. Additional preclinical in-vivo studies suggest activity in gemcitabine-resistant PDAC. Data further demonstrated that QN-302 had significant anti-tumor activity in three patient-derived PDAC xenograft models. Early safety indicators in pancreatic cancer mouse in-vivo models suggest no significant adverse toxic effects at proposed therapeutic doses.
On January 9, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted Orphan Drug Designation ("ODD") to QN-302 for the indication of pancreatic cancer. ODD provides advantages to pharmaceutical companies that are developing investigational drugs or biological products that show promise in treating rare diseases or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States, including seven-year marketing exclusivity and eligibility to receive regulatory support and guidance from the FDA in the design of an overall drug development plan.
There are also economic advantages to receiving ODD, including a 25% federal tax credit for expenses incurred in conducting clinical research on the orphan designated product within the United States. Tax credits may be applied to the prior year or applied to up to 20 years of future taxes. ODD recipients may also have their Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) application fees waived, a potential savings of around $3.2 million (as of fiscal year 2023) for applications requiring covered clinical data, and may qualify to compete for research grants from the Office of Orphan Products Development that support clinical studies.
On August 1, 2023 we announced that the FDA had cleared our investigational new drug ("IND") application for QN-302, and on November 1, 2023 the first patient in our Phase 1a clinical trial for QN-302 was dosed at START Midwest in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
We will require additional cash resources to be able to continue and complete this Phase 1a clinical trial.
Pan-RAS (formerly referred to as RAS or RAS-F)
In July 2020 we entered into an exclusive worldwide in-license agreement with the University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc. ("UofL") for the intellectual property covering the "RAS" family of pan-RAS inhibitor small molecule drug candidates, which are believed to work by blocking RAS mutations directly, thereby inhibiting tumor formation (especially in pancreatic, colorectal and lung cancers). Pursuant to the license agreement, we will seek to identify and develop a lead drug candidate from the compound family and, upon commercialization, will pay UofL royalties in the low-to-mid-single-digit percentages on net sales of Pan-RAS inhibitor licensed products. The license agreement with UofL for Pan-RAS was amended in March 2021 and June 2023.
RAS is the most common oncogene in human cancer. Activating mutations in one of the three human RAS gene isoforms (KRAS, HRAS or NRAS) are present in about one-fourth to one-third of all cancers. For example, mutant KRAS is found in 98% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, 52% of colon cancers, and 32% of lung adenocarcinomas. For these three cancer types, cancers with mutant KRAS are diagnosed in more than 170,000 people each year in the United States and cause more than 120,000 deaths. Drugs that target signaling downstream of RAS are available; however, such drugs have shown disappointing clinical durability because RAS is a "hub" that activates multiple effectors, so drugs that block a single pathway downstream may not account for the many other activated pathways.
We also had a sponsored research agreement with UofL for Pan-RAS research; that agreement expired in December 2023.
On February 15, 2024, we entered into a License and Sublicense Agreement with Pan-RAS Holdings, Inc., a New York corporation ("Pan-RAS Holdings"), which contemplated an exclusive out-license of our Pan-RAS drug development program, including our rights under the UofL license agreement, Pan-RAS Holdings. Although the License and Sublicense Agreement called for a closing by March 16, 2024, the License and Sublicense Agreement was in essence structured as a 30-day option in favor of Pan-RAS Holdings. At the contemplated closing, Pan-RAS Holdings would have paid us an upfront fee of $1,000,000 in cash. In addition, Pan-RAS Holdings would have become responsible to pay on our behalf our in-license royalty obligations to UofL, as and when required. Finally, if the contemplated closing had occurred, Pan-RAS Holdings would have been required to pay to us for our own account, on a semiannual basis, royalties equal to 1.0% of net sales of any RAS products. We would have owed certain amounts to UofL under our in-license agreement from them, if, as and when we received any Non-Royalty Sublicensing Income from Pan-RAS Holdings.
| 12 |
Pan-RAS Holdings did not effectuate the closing by March 16, 2024, and we and they voluntarily terminated the License and Sublicense Agreement effective as of March 16, 2024.
Previous Programs
We have discontinued all of our efforts as to the following programs, and we do not plan to resume them:
| 1. | QN-247 (formerly referred to as ALAN or AS1411-GNP) - an oligonucleotide aptamer-based, nucleolin-inhibiting anticancer drug candidate, consisting of QN-165 conjugated with gold nanoparticles. | |
| 2. | QN-165 (formerly referred to as AS1411) - an oligonucleotide aptamer-based drug candidate for the potential broad-spectrum treatment of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. | |
| 3. | Selective Target Antigen Removal System (STARS) - a therapeutic blood-filtering device product concept, which would be designed to remove circulating tumor cells, viruses, inflammation factors and immune checkpoints. |
Research and Development
For research and development of our drug candidates, we have historically leveraged the scientific and technical resources and laboratory facilities of UofL and UCL, through technology licensing, sponsored research, and other consulting agreements. We have engaged contract research organizations ("CROs") and clinical sites for the Phase 1a clinical trial of QN-302. We intend to focus our internal research and development on oversight of these CROs. We currently have no internal research and development facilities.
Regulatory Matters
We have obtained FDA clearance/approval for our QN-302 Phase 1a clinical trial. We have not obtained FDA or other regulatory approval for any other drug candidate.
United States-FDA Drug Approval Process
The research, development, testing, and manufacture of product candidates are extensively regulated by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. In the United States, the FDA regulates drugs under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and its implementing regulations.
The steps required to be completed before a drug may be marketed in the United States include, among others:
| ● | preclinical laboratory tests, animal studies, and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA's Good Laboratory Practice ("GLP") regulations; | |
| ● | submission to the FDA of an IND application for human clinical testing, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin and for which progress reports must be submitted annually to the FDA; |
| 13 |
| ● | approval by an independent institutional review board ("IRB") or Ethics Committee ("EC") at each clinical trial site before each trial may be initiated; | |
| ● | adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials, conducted in accordance with applicable IND regulations, Good Clinical Practices ("GCP"), and other clinical trial related regulations, to establish the safety and efficacy of the drug for each proposed indication to the FDA's satisfaction; | |
| ● | submission to the FDA of a New Drug Application ("NDA") and payment of user fees for FDA review of the NDA (unless a fee waiver applies); | |
| ● | satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of one or more clinical trial site(s) at which the drug was studied in a clinical trial(s) and/or of us as a clinical trial sponsor to assess compliance with GCP regulations; | |
| ● | satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the drug is produced to assess compliance with current GMPs regulations; | |
| ● | agreement with the FDA on the final labeling for the product and the design and implementation of any required Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy; and | |
| ● | FDA review and approval of the NDA, including satisfactory completion of an FDA advisory committee review, if applicable, based on a determination that the drug is safe and effective for the proposed indication(s). |
Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, toxicity, and formulation, as well as animal studies. The conduct of the preclinical tests and formulation of the compounds for testing must comply with federal regulations and requirements, including GLP regulations. The results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND application, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin. We cannot be certain that submission of an IND application will result in the FDA allowing clinical trials to begin.
Clinical trials necessary for product approval are typically conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap or be combined. The study protocol and informed consent information for study subjects in clinical trials must also be approved by an IRB for each institution where the trials will be conducted, and each IRB must monitor the study until completion. Study subjects must provide informed consent and sign an informed consent form before participating in a clinical trial. Clinical testing also must satisfy the extensive GCP regulations for, among other things, informed consent and privacy of individually identifiable information.
| ● | Phase 1-Phase 1 clinical trials involve initial introduction of the study drug in a limited population of healthy human volunteers or patients with the target disease or condition. These studies are typically designed to test the safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism and distribution of the study drug in humans, evaluate the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence of effectiveness. | |
| ● | Phase 2-Phase 2 clinical trials typically involve administration of the study drug to a limited patient population with a specified disease or condition to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, optimal dosages and dosing schedule and to identify possible adverse side effects and safety risks. Multiple Phase 2 clinical trials may be conducted to obtain information before beginning larger and more expensive Phase 3 clinical trials. | |
| ● | Phase 3-Phase 3 clinical trials typically involve administration of the study drug to an expanded patient population to further evaluate dosage, to provide substantial evidence of clinical efficacy and to further test for safety, generally at multiple geographically dispersed clinical trial sites. These clinical trials are intended to establish the overall risk/benefit ratio of the study drug and to provide an adequate basis for product approval. Generally, adequate and well-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials are required by the FDA for approval of an NDA. |
| 14 |
The FDA has various programs, including fast track designation, breakthrough therapy designation, priority review and accelerated approval, which are intended to expedite or simplify the process for the development, and the FDA's review of drugs (e.g., approving an NDA on the basis of surrogate endpoints subject to post-approval trials). Generally, drugs that may be eligible for one or more of these programs are those intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions, those with the potential to address unmet medical needs for those disease or conditions, and/or those that provide a meaningful benefit over existing treatments. For example, a sponsor may be granted FDA designation of a drug candidate as a "breakthrough therapy" if the drug candidate is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. If a drug is designated as breakthrough therapy, the FDA will take actions to help expedite the development and review of such drug. Moreover, if a sponsor submits an NDA for a product intended to treat certain rare pediatric or tropical diseases or for use as a medical countermeasure for a material threat, and that meets other eligibility criteria, upon approval such sponsor may be granted a priority review voucher that can be used for a subsequent NDA. From time to time, we anticipate applying for such programs where we believe we meet the applicable FDA criteria. A company cannot be sure that any of its drugs will qualify for any of these programs, or even if a drug does qualify, that the review time will be reduced.
The results of the preclinical studies and of the clinical studies, together with other detailed information, including information on the manufacture and composition of the drug, are submitted to the FDA in the form of an NDA requesting approval to market the product for one or more proposed indications. The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources. Unless the applicant qualifies for an exemption, the filing of an NDA typically must be accompanied by a substantial "user fee" payment to the FDA. To support marketing approval, the data submitted must be sufficient in quality and quantity to establish the safety and efficacy of the product in the proposed patient population to the satisfaction of the FDA. After an NDA is accepted for filing, the FDA substantively reviews the application and may deem it to be inadequate, and companies cannot be sure that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. The FDA may also refer the application to an appropriate advisory committee, typically a panel of clinicians, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved, but is not bound by the recommendations of the advisory committee.
Before approving an NDA, the FDA usually will inspect the facility or the facilities at which the drug is manufactured and determine whether the manufacturing and production and testing facilities are in compliance with cGMP regulations. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval if, among other things, ongoing regulatory requirements are not met, certain defects exist in the NDA, or safety or efficacy problems occur after the product reaches the market.

Going Concern Qualification
We have a working capital deficiency, a stockholders' equity deficit, and recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph to this effect in its report for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management is exploring financing, strategic, and operational opportunities; however, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed or will file with the SEC, and in other documents which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including all future filings we make with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as well as the risk factors and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into any accompanying prospectus supplement before investing in any of our securities. Our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties described in the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only risks and uncertainties that you may face. For more information about our SEC filings, please see "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference."
Risks Related to This Offering
Sales of a substantial number of shares by the Selling Stockholders may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The resale of the Conversion Shares by the Selling Stockholders could significantly depress the market price of our common stock. A large volume of sales over a short period of time, or even the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital through future equity offerings.
The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred will cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
Each share of Series B Preferred has a stated value of $1,000 and is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $2.246 per share of Series B Preferred. Any conversion of the Series B Preferred will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and may depress the market price of our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Listing
If we fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted.
On July 23, 2025, we received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating that we were not in compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Nasdaq subsequently granted us an extension after reviewing our compliance plan and noting our July 28, 2025 private placement of Series A-3 Preferred. If we fail to continue to satisfy Nasdaq's listing requirements, including the equity and minimum bid price requirements, our common stock could be delisted, which would negatively impact liquidity, reduce the trading market for our stock, and impair our ability to raise capital.
Our common stock has experienced and may continue to experience significant price and volume volatility.
The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in response to various factors, including developments in our business and industry, dilution from future equity issuances, Nasdaq compliance issues, and general market conditions. Volatility in our stock price could cause investors to lose all or part of their investment.
Future equity financings may further dilute stockholders or adversely affect our stock price.
We may need to raise additional capital through equity or equity-linked financings. Such financings may occur at prices below the current market price of our common stock and may involve securities with terms that are more favorable to new investors, such as preferences, senior voting rights, or additional warrants. These transactions could further dilute stockholders, put downward pressure on our stock price, and make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital on acceptable terms.
| 18 |
Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Condition
Our financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have incurred significant losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $123.1 million as of December 31, 2024. Our auditors have included a going concern explanatory paragraph in their audit report. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate positive cash flows and secure additional equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors could lose all or a portion of their investment.
If we fail to remediate our material weaknesses in internal controls, our business and stock price could be adversely affected.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including a lack of accounting resources and inadequate segregation of duties. These weaknesses have resulted in audit adjustments and delayed SEC filings. Although we are taking steps to improve our controls, if we are unable to remediate these weaknesses and maintain effective controls, we could be subject to further financial reporting errors, regulatory scrutiny, loss of investor confidence, and a decline in the market price of our common stock.
Risks Related to the Marizyme Amended Note
There can be no assurance that Marizyme will be able to repay the Amended Note when due.
On August 21, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Secured Demand Promissory Note with Marizyme, Inc. in the principal amount of approximately $4.45 million. The Amended Note matures on August 21, 2026, with all amounts due in a single balloon payment. Marizyme may not generate sufficient cash flows or obtain additional financing to satisfy its obligations, which could result in nonpayment or default.
The Amended Note is secured by substantially all of Marizyme's assets, but the value of the collateral may be insufficient.
Although Marizyme granted us a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including intellectual property, inventory, accounts receivable, and equipment, the value of those assets may be uncertain or difficult to realize. If Marizyme defaults and we seek to enforce our security interest, we may be unable to recover the full amount owed.
If Marizyme defaults, we may be required to take costly and time-consuming enforcement actions.
Our remedies in the event of default include foreclosing on Marizyme's assets. Such actions could be expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain, and could divert management attention from our core operations. There is no assurance that any recovery would be timely or sufficient.
Risks Relating to Investing in Cryptocurrency
Our operating results have and will significantly fluctuate, including due to the highly volatile nature of crypto.
Due to the highly volatile nature of the cryptoeconomy and the prices of crypto assets, our operating results have, and will continue to, fluctuate significantly in accordance with market sentiments and movements in the broader cryptoeconomy. Our operating results will continue to fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are unpredictable and in certain instances are outside of our control, including:
| ● | crypto asset trading activity, including trading volume and the prevailing trading prices for crypto assets, which can be highly volatile; | |
| ● | our ability to attract, maintain, grow, and engage our customer and developer base; | |
| ● | changes in the legislative or regulatory environment, or actions by U.S. or foreign governments or regulators, including fines, orders, or consent decrees; | |
| ● | regulatory changes or scrutiny that impact our ability to offer certain products or services; | |
| ● | our ability to continue to diversify and grow our subscription and services revenue; | |
| ● | our mix of revenue between transaction and subscription and services; | |
| ● | pricing for, or temporary suspensions of, our products and services; | |
| ● | adding crypto assets to, or removing from, our platform; |
| 19 |
| ● | our ability to establish and maintain partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, or strategic alliances with third parties; | |
| ● | fluctuations in the market values of our strategic investments; | |
| ● | market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, the cryptoeconomy; | |
| ● | macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, inflation, changes in tariffs and trade restrictions, and instability in the global banking system; | |
| ● | adverse legal proceedings or regulatory enforcement actions, judgments, settlements, or other legal proceedings, and enforcement-related costs; | |
| ● | the development and introduction of existing and new products and services by us or our competitors; | |
| ● | the amount and timing of our operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business and operations, including investments we make in the development of products and services, as well as technology offered to our developers, international expansion, and sales and marketing; | |
| ● | system failures, outages or interruptions, including with respect to our platform and third-party crypto networks; | |
| ● | our lack of control over decentralized or third-party blockchains and networks that may experience downtime, cyberattacks, critical failures, errors, bugs, corrupted files, data losses, or other similar software failures, outages, breaches and losses; | |
| ● | breaches of security or privacy; | |
| ● | inaccessibility of our platform due to our or third-party actions; | |
| ● | our ability to attract and retain talent; and | |
| ● | our ability to compete with our competitors. |
As a result of these factors, it is difficult for us to forecast growth trends accurately and our business and future prospects are difficult to evaluate, particularly in the short term. In view of the rapidly evolving nature of our business and the cryptoeconomy, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance. Quarterly and annual expenses reflected in our financial statements may be significantly different from historical or projected rates.
The future development and growth of crypto is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to predict and evaluate. If crypto does not grow as we expect, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Crypto assets built on blockchain technology were only introduced in 2008 and remain in the early stages of development. In addition, different crypto assets are designed for different purposes. Bitcoin, for instance, was designed to serve as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, while Ethereum was designed to be a smart contract and decentralized application platform. Many other crypto networks, ranging from cloud computing to tokenized securities networks, have only recently been established. The further growth and development of any crypto assets and their underlying networks and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the creation, transfer, and usage of crypto assets represent a new and evolving paradigm that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate, including:
| ● | many crypto networks have limited operating histories, have not been validated in production, and are still in the process of developing and making significant decisions that will affect the design, supply, issuance, functionality, and governance of their respective crypto assets and underlying blockchain networks, any of which could adversely affect their respective crypto assets; | |
| ● | many crypto networks are in the process of implementing software upgrades and other changes to their protocols, which could introduce bugs, security risks, or adversely affect the respective crypto networks; | |
| ● | several large networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, are developing new features to address fundamental speed, scalability, and energy usage issues. If these issues are not successfully addressed, or if these networks do not achieve widespread adoption, it could adversely affect the underlying crypto assets; | |
| ● | security issues, bugs, and software errors have been identified with many crypto assets and their underlying blockchain networks, some of which have been exploited by malicious actors. There are also inherent security weaknesses in some crypto assets, such as when creators of certain crypto networks use procedures that could allow hackers to counterfeit tokens. Any weaknesses identified with a crypto asset could adversely affect its price, security, liquidity, and adoption rate. If one or more malicious actors obtains a majority of the compute or staking power on a crypto network, as has happened in the past, it may be able to engage in illicit activity, which could cause financial losses to holders, damage the network's reputation and security, and adversely affect its value; |
| 20 |
| ● | the development of new technologies for mining, such as improved application-specific integrated circuits (commonly referred to as ASICs), or changes in industry patterns, such as the consolidation of mining power in a small number of large mining farms, could reduce the security of blockchain networks, lead to increased liquid supply of crypto assets, and reduce a crypto asset's price and attractiveness; | |
| ● | if rewards and transaction fees for miners or validators on any particular crypto network are not sufficiently high to attract and retain miners or validators, a crypto network's security and speed may be adversely affected, increasing the likelihood of a malicious attack; | |
| ● | crypto networks may have consolidated points of failure (such as concentrated ownership or an "admin key"), allowing a small group of holders to have significant unilateral control and influence over key decisions related to their crypto networks, such as governance decisions and protocol changes, as well as the market price of such crypto assets; | |
| ● | the governance of many decentralized blockchain networks, including L2 blockchains like Base Chain (formerly Base), is by voluntary consensus and open competition, and many developers are not directly compensated for their contributions. As a result, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on the governance of any particular crypto network, a lack of incentives for developers to maintain or develop the network, and other unforeseen issues, any of which could result in unexpected or undesirable errors, bugs, or changes, or stymie such network's utility and ability to respond to challenges and grow; and | |
| ● | many crypto networks are in the early stages of developing partnerships and collaborations, any or all of which may not succeed and adversely affect the usability and adoption of the respective crypto assets. |
Various other technical issues have also been uncovered from time to time that resulted in disabled functionalities, exposure of certain users' personal information, theft of users' assets, and other negative consequences, and which required resolution with the attention and efforts of their global miner, user, and development communities. If any such risks or other risks materialize, and in particular if they are not resolved, the development and growth of crypto may be significantly affected and, as a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Cyberattacks and security breaches of our platform, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our business involves the collection, storage, processing, and transmission of confidential information, customer, employee, service provider, and other personal data, as well as information required to access customer assets. We have built our reputation on the premise that our platform offers customers a secure way to purchase, store, and transact in crypto assets. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach of us or our third-party partners may:
| ● | harm our reputation and brand; | |
| ● | result in our systems or services being unavailable and interrupt our operations; | |
| ● | result in improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable privacy and data protection laws; | |
| ● | result in significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory, and financial exposure; | |
| ● | cause us to incur significant remediation costs; | |
| ● | lead to theft or irretrievable loss of our or our customers' fiat currencies or crypto assets; | |
| ● | reduce customer confidence in, or decrease customer use of, our products and services; | |
| ● | divert the attention of management from the operation of our business; | |
| ● | result in significant compensation or contractual penalties payable by us to our customers or third parties as a result of losses to them or claims by them; and | |
| ● | adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. |
Further, any actual or perceived breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other financial institutions or crypto companies, whether or not we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in the cryptoeconomy or in the use of technology to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us, including the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and technology infrastructure.
| 21 |
An increasing number of organizations, including large merchants, businesses, technology companies, and financial institutions, as well as government institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks, including on their websites, mobile applications, and infrastructure.
Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries, including the crypto industry, are increasing in their frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information (including customers' personal data and crypto assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. Certain types of cyberattacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, attacks may be designed to deceive employees and service providers into releasing control of our systems to a hacker, while others may aim to introduce computer viruses or malware into our systems with a view to stealing confidential or proprietary data. Additionally, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target, and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures.
Although we maintain insurance coverage, it may be insufficient to protect us against all losses and costs stemming from security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity, or any resulting disruptions or data theft and loss from such events. Outages and disruptions of our platform, including any caused by cyberattacks, may harm our reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.
We are subject to an extensive, highly-evolving and uncertain regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our business is subject to extensive laws, rules, regulations, policies, orders, determinations, directives, treaties, and legal and regulatory interpretations and guidance in the markets in which we operate, including those governing financial services and banking, federal government contractors, trust companies, securities, derivative transactions and markets, broker-dealers and alternative trading systems ("ATS"), commodities, credit, crypto asset custody, exchange, and transfer, cross-border and domestic money and crypto asset transmission, commercial lending, usury, foreign currency exchange, privacy, data governance, data protection, cybersecurity, fraud detection, payment services (including payment processing and settlement services), consumer protection, escheatment, antitrust and competition, bankruptcy, tax, anti-bribery, economic and trade sanctions, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorist financing. Many of these legal and regulatory regimes were adopted prior to the advent of the internet, mobile technologies, crypto assets, generative artificial intelligence ("AI") and related technologies. As a result, some applicable laws and regulations do not contemplate or address unique issues associated with the cryptoeconomy, are subject to significant uncertainty, and vary widely across U.S. federal, state, and local and international jurisdictions. These legal and regulatory regimes, including the laws, rules, and regulations thereunder, evolve frequently and may be modified, interpreted, and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another. Moreover, the complexity and evolving nature of our business and the significant uncertainty surrounding the regulation of the cryptoeconomy requires us to exercise our judgment as to whether certain laws, rules, and regulations apply to us, and it is possible that governmental bodies and regulators may disagree with our conclusions. To the extent we have not complied with such laws, rules, and regulations, we could be subject to significant fines, revocation of licenses, limitations on or temporary or permanent suspensions of our products and services, reputational harm, and other regulatory consequences, each of which may be significant and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
| 22 |
We operate in a highly competitive industry and we compete against unregulated or less regulated companies and companies with greater financial and other resources, and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to compete effectively.
The crypto industry is highly innovative, rapidly evolving, and characterized by healthy competition, experimentation, changing customer needs, frequent introductions of new products and services, and subject to uncertain and evolving industry and regulatory requirements. We expect competition to intensify in the future as existing and new competitors introduce new products or enhance existing products. We face significant competition from a variety of companies around the world, ranging from crypto-native companies, including decentralized exchanges, to large traditional financial services incumbents and financial technology providers. Our main competition falls into the following categories:
| ● | traditional financial technology and brokerage firms that have entered the crypto asset market in recent years and offer overlapping features targeted at our customers; | |
| ● | companies focused on the crypto asset market, some of whom adhere to local regulations and directly compete with our platform, and others who choose to operate outside of local rules and regulations or in jurisdictions with less stringent local rules and regulations and are potentially able to more quickly adapt to trends, support a greater number of crypto assets, and develop new crypto-based products and services due to a different standard of regulatory scrutiny; | |
| ● | crypto-focused companies and traditional financial incumbents that offer point or siloed solutions specifically targeted at institutional customers; | |
| ● | decentralized and non-custodial platforms; and | |
| ● | stablecoins, other than USDC, and fiat currencies globally. |
Historically, a major source of competition has been from companies, in particular those located outside the United States, who at times are and may in the future be subject to significantly less stringent regulatory and compliance requirements in their local jurisdictions. Their business models rely on being unregulated or only regulated in a small number of lower compliance jurisdictions, whilst also offering their products in highly regulated jurisdictions, including the United States, without necessarily complying with the relevant regulatory requirements in such jurisdictions.
Given the uneven enforcement by United States and foreign regulators, many of these competitors have been able to operate from offshore while offering large numbers of products and services to consumers, including in the United States, Europe, and other highly regulated jurisdictions, without complying with the relevant licensing and other requirements in these jurisdictions, and historically without penalty. Due to our regulated status in several jurisdictions and our commitment to legal and regulatory compliance, we have not been able to offer many popular products and services, including products and services that our unregulated or less regulated competitors are able to offer.
We also have expended significant managerial, operational, and compliance costs to comply with laws and regulations applicable to us in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and expect to continue to incur significant costs to comply with these requirements, which these unregulated or less regulated competitors have not had to incur.
Our competitors have made significant investments in research and development, and we expect these companies to continue to develop similar or superior products and technologies that compete with our products. Further, more traditional financial and non-financial services businesses may choose to offer crypto-based services in the future as the industry gains adoption and barriers to entry lower. As regulations and compliance requirements in the United States become clearer, we may face increased competition from companies based in the United States. Our current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources.
Our existing competitors have, and our potential competitors are expected to have, competitive advantages over us, such as:
| . | ● | the ability to trade crypto assets and offer products and services that we do not support or offer on our platform (due to constraints from regulatory authorities, our financial institution partners, and other factors) such as tokens that constitute securities or derivative instruments under U.S. or foreign laws; |
| ● | greater name recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases, and larger market shares; | |
| ● | larger sales and marketing budgets and organizations; | |
| ● | more established marketing, banking, and compliance relationships; | |
| ● | greater customer support resources; | |
| ● | greater resources to make acquisitions; | |
| ● | lower labor, compliance, risk mitigation, and research and development costs; | |
| ● | larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios; | |
| ● | greater number of applicable licenses or similar authorizations; | |
| ● | established core business models outside of the trading of crypto assets, allowing them to operate on lesser margins or at a loss; | |
| ● | operations in certain jurisdictions with lower compliance costs and greater flexibility to explore new product offerings; and | |
| ● | substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources. |
| 23 |
If we are unable to compete successfully, or if competing successfully requires us to take costly actions in response to the actions of our competitors, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We may become subject to litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and enforcement actions by regulators and governmental authorities. These matters are often expensive and time consuming, and, if resolved adversely, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We have been, and may from time to time become subject to claims, arbitrations, individual and class action lawsuits with respect to a variety of matters, including employment, consumer protection, intellectual property, privacy, information security, data protection, advertising, and securities. In addition, we may from time to time become subject to, government and regulatory investigations, inquiries, actions or requests, other proceedings and enforcement actions alleging violations of laws, rules, and regulations, both foreign and domestic. The scope, determination, and impact of claims, lawsuits, government and regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, disputes, and proceedings to which we are subject cannot be predicted with certainty and may result in:
| ● | substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines, or penalties; | |
| ● | substantial outside counsel, advisor, and consultant fees and costs; | |
| ● | substantial administrative costs, including arbitration fees; | |
| ● | additional compliance and licensure requirements; | |
| ● | loss or non-renewal of existing licenses or authorizations, or prohibition from or delays in obtaining additional licenses or authorizations, required for our business; | |
| ● | loss of productivity and high demands on employee time; | |
| ● | criminal sanctions or consent decrees; | |
| ● | termination of certain employees, including members of our executive team; | |
| ● | barring of certain employees from participating in our business in whole or in part; | |
| ● | orders that restrict our business or prevent us from offering certain products or services; | |
| ● | changes to our business model and practices; | |
| ● | delays to planned transactions, product launches or improvements; and | |
| ● | damage to our brand and reputation. |
A particular crypto asset, product or service's status as a "security" in any relevant jurisdiction is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and if we are unable to properly characterize a crypto asset or product offering, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
The SEC and its staff have taken evolving positions as to whether a range of crypto assets, products and services fall within the definition of a "security" under the U.S. federal securities laws. Despite the SEC being the principal federal securities law regulator in the United States, whether or not an asset, product, or service is a security or constitutes a securities offering under federal securities laws is ultimately determined by a federal court. The legal test for determining whether any given crypto asset, product, or service is an investment contract security was set forth in the 1946 Supreme Court case SEC v. W.J. Howey Co. and whether any given crypto asset, product, or service is a note in the 1990 Supreme Court case Reves v. Ernst & Young. The legal tests for determining whether any given crypto asset, product, or service is a security requires a highly complex, fact-driven analysis. Accordingly, whether any given crypto asset, product or service would be ultimately deemed by a federal court to be a security is uncertain and difficult to predict notwithstanding the conclusions of the SEC or any conclusions we may draw based on our risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular crypto asset, product or service could be deemed a "security" or "securities offering" under applicable laws. The SEC generally does not provide advance guidance or confirmation on its assessment of the status of any particular crypto asset, product, or service as a security. Furthermore, in our view, statements by the SEC and its staff have appeared contradictory at times. It is also possible that the change in the governing administration and the appointment of new SEC commissioners will substantially impact the approach to enforcement by the SEC and its staff.
| 24 |
We currently rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of our operations, and any interruptions in services provided by these third parties may impair our ability to support our customers.
We rely on third parties in connection with many aspects of our business, including payment processors, financial institutions, and payment gateways to process transactions; cloud computing services and data centers that provide facilities, infrastructure, smart contract development, website functionality and access, components, and services, including databases and data center facilities and cloud computing; as well as third parties that provide outsourced customer service, compliance support and product development functions, which are critical to our operations. Because we rely on third parties to provide these services and to facilitate certain of our business activities, we face increased operational risks. We do not directly manage the operation of any of these third parties, including their data center facilities that we use. These third parties may be subject to financial, legal, regulatory, and labor issues, cybersecurity incidents, data theft or loss, break-ins, computer viruses or vulnerabilities in their code, denial-of-service attacks, sabotage, acts of vandalism, loss, disruption, or instability of third-party financial institution relationships, privacy breaches, service terminations, disruptions, interruptions, and other misconduct. They are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, power loss, telecommunications failures, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, pandemics and similar events. In addition, these third parties may breach their agreements with us, disagree with our interpretation of contract terms or applicable laws and regulations, refuse to continue or renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms or at all, fail or refuse to process transactions or provide other services adequately, take actions that degrade the functionality of our services, impose additional costs or requirements on us or our customers, or give preferential treatment to competitors. There can be no assurance that third parties that provide services to us or to our customers on our behalf will continue to do so on acceptable terms, or at all. If any third parties do not adequately or appropriately provide their services or perform their responsibilities to us or our customers on our behalf, such as if third-party service providers to close their data center facilities without adequate notice, are unable to restore operations and data, fail to perform as expected, or experience other unanticipated problems, we may be unable to procure alternatives in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may be subject to business disruptions, losses or costs to remediate any of the deficiencies, customer dissatisfaction, reputational damage, legal or regulatory proceedings, or other adverse consequences which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our strategy and focus on delivering high-quality, compliant, easy-to-use, and secure crypto-related financial services may not maximize short-term or medium-term financial results.
We have taken, and expect to continue to take, actions that we believe are in the best interests of our customers and the long-term interests of our business, even if those actions do not necessarily maximize short-term or medium-term results. These include expending significant managerial, technical, and legal efforts on complying with laws and regulations that are applicable to our products and services and ensuring that our products are secure. We also focus on driving long-term engagement with our customers through innovation and developing new industry-leading products and technologies. These decisions may not be consistent with the short-term and medium-term expectations of our stockholders and may not produce the long-term benefits that we expect, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
| 25 |
Any acquisitions and investments that we make could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, result in dilution to our stockholders, and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
As part of our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions and evaluate opportunities for possible acquisitions, strategic investments, entries into new businesses, joint ventures, and other transactions. We have made, and may continue to make, acquisitions of and investments in, among other things, specialized employees and complementary companies, products, services, licenses, or technologies. In the future, the pace and scale of our acquisitions may increase and may include larger acquisitions than we have done historically. We also invest in companies and technologies, many of which are private companies and technologies that are highly speculative in nature. In the future, we may not be able to find other suitable acquisition and investment candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions or make investments on favorable terms, if at all. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions and investments may be substantial, and there is no assurance that we will receive a favorable return on investment for our acquisitions and investments. We have and may in the future be required to write off acquisitions or investments. Moreover, our previous and future acquisitions and investments may not achieve our goals, and any future acquisitions and investments we complete could be viewed negatively by customers, developers, advertisers, or investors. In addition, if we fail to successfully close or integrate any acquisitions, or integrate the products or technologies associated with such acquisitions into our company, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our ability to acquire and integrate companies, products, services, licenses, employees, or technologies in a successful manner is unproven. Any integration process may require significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage the process successfully, including successfully securing regulatory approvals which may be required to close the transaction and to continue to operate the target firm's business or products in a manner that is useful to us. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired products, services, technology, or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. We may have to pay cash, incur debt, or issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. The sale of equity or issuance of debt to finance any such acquisitions could result in dilution to our stockholders, which, depending on the size of the acquisition, may be significant. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations.
Risks Related to Crypto Assets
Due to unfamiliarity and some negative publicity associated with crypto asset platforms, confidence or interest in crypto asset platforms may decline.
Crypto asset platforms are relatively new. Many of our competitors are unlicensed, unregulated, operate without supervision by any governmental authorities, and do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management team, corporate practices, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. As a result, customers and the general public may lose confidence or interest in crypto asset platforms, including regulated platforms like ours.
Since the inception of the cryptoeconomy, numerous crypto asset platforms have been sued, investigated, or shut down due to fraud, manipulative practices, business failure, and security breaches. In many of these instances, customers of these platforms were not compensated or made whole for their losses. Larger platforms are more appealing targets for hackers and malware, and may also be more likely to be targets of regulatory enforcement actions.
In addition, there have been reports that a significant amount of crypto asset trading volume on crypto asset platforms is fabricated and false in nature, with a specific focus on unregulated platforms located outside the United States. Such reports may indicate that the market for crypto asset platform activities is significantly smaller than otherwise understood.
Negative perception, a lack of stability and standardized regulation in the cryptoeconomy, and the closure or temporary shutdown of crypto asset platforms due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government mandated regulation, and associated losses suffered by customers may continue to reduce confidence or interest in the cryptoeconomy and result in greater volatility of the prices of assets, including significant depreciation in value. Any of these events could have an adverse impact on our business and our customers' perception of us, including decreased use of our platform and loss of customer demand for our products and services.
Future developments regarding the treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Due to the new and evolving nature of crypto assets and the absence of comprehensive legal and tax guidance with respect to crypto asset products and transactions, many significant aspects of the U.S. and foreign tax treatment of transactions involving crypto assets, such as the purchase and sale of crypto assets on our platform, as well as the provision of blockchain rewards and other crypto asset incentives and rewards products, are uncertain, and it is unclear whether, when and what guidance may be issued in the future on the treatment of crypto asset transactions for U.S. and foreign tax purposes. The IRS has not addressed many other significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of crypto assets and related transactions.
| 26 |
There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the timing, character, and amount of income inclusions for various crypto asset transactions including, but not limited to lending and borrowing crypto assets, staking, and other crypto asset incentives and products that we offer. Although we believe our treatment of crypto asset transactions for federal income tax purposes is consistent with existing positions from the IRS and/or existing U.S. federal income tax principles, because of the rapidly evolving nature of crypto asset innovations and the increasing variety and complexity of crypto asset transactions and products, it is possible the IRS and various U.S. states may disagree with our treatment of certain crypto asset offerings for U.S. tax purposes, which could adversely affect our customers and the vitality of our business. Similar uncertainties exist in the foreign markets in which we operate with respect to direct and indirect taxes, and these uncertainties and potential adverse interpretations of tax law could impact the amount of tax we and our non-U.S. customers are required to pay, and the vitality of our platforms outside of the United States.
There can be no assurance that the IRS, U.S. state revenue agencies, or other foreign tax authorities, will not alter their respective positions with respect to crypto assets in the future or that a court would uphold the treatment set forth in existing positions. It also is unclear what additional tax authority positions, regulations, or legislation may be issued in the future on the treatment of existing crypto asset transactions and future crypto asset innovations under U.S. federal, U.S. state, or foreign tax law. Any such developments could result in adverse tax consequences for holders of crypto assets and could have an adverse effect on the value of crypto assets and the broader crypto assets markets. Future technological and operational developments that may arise with respect to crypto assets may increase the uncertainty with respect to the treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes. The uncertainty regarding tax treatment of crypto asset transactions impacts our customers, and could impact our business, both domestically and abroad.
General Risk Factors
Our business, results of operations, and stock price may be materially affected by factors we cannot currently predict. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The common stock offered by this prospectus is being registered for resale by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders, including their transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees, or other successors-in-interest, may sell or distribute the shares from time to time directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act as agents or principals. The shares may be sold at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale.
We are registering the shares of common stock previously issued, to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the common stock from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
| · | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; | |
| · | in the over-the-counter market; | |
| · | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; | |
| · | through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; | |
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
| block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | ||
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; | |
| short sales; | ||
| sales pursuant to Rule 144; | ||
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; | |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
| 31 |
In addition, a selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $100,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended, the "Certificate of Incorporation") provides that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), each person who is involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person is or was a director or officer of AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. or is or was serving as an officer or director of another entity at our request, against all expense, loss or liability reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the right to indemnification includes the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, (i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be provided only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
| II-1 |
Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for such a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising:
| ● | from any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; | |
| ● | from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| ● | under Section 174 of the DGCL; or | |
| ● | from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of such persons for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were serving in such capacity. We believe that these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. Furthermore, we have obtained director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to us.
We also maintain general liability insurance which covers certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The above discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The following is a summary of transactions during the preceding three years (since November 2, 2021) involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act. All share and per share data have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
On December 3, 2021, we issued a common stock warrant to a consultant, entitling the consultant to purchase up to 1,200 of our shares of common stock at an exercise price of $660.00 per share. This warrant expired on September 14, 2023. No underwriter was involved. The issuance was undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from registration described in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On May 26, 2022, we issued 7,000 shares of our common stock and a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant to purchase 6,629 shares of our common stock to Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha") in exchange for 2,232,861 preferred shares of NanoSynex Ltd. No underwriter was involved. The issuance to Alpha was undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from registration described in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On December 22, 2022, we issued to Alpha an 8% Senior Convertible Debenture (the "2022 Debenture") in the aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000 for a purchase price of $3,000,000. The 2022 Debenture has a maturity date of December 22, 2025 and is convertible, at any time, and from time to time, at Alpha's option, into shares of our common stock, at a price initially equal to $66.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Debenture. (After the issuance, such conversion price has been adjusted to $6.50 per share.) The 2022 Debenture accrues interest on its outstanding principal balance at the rate of 8% per annum, which interest is payable monthly or quarterly. Additionally, we issued a common stock purchase warrant exercisable from June 22, 2023 through June 22, 2028 (the "2022 Warrant") to Alpha to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $82.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the 2022 Warrant. (After the issuance, such exercise price has been adjusted to $6.50 per share.) No underwriter was involved. The issuance to Alpha was undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from registration described in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Both the 2022 Debenture and the 2022 Warrant include a beneficial ownership blocker of 9.99%, which may only be waived by Alpha upon 61 days' notice to us.
Between January 9 and 12, 2023, we issued 16,834 shares of our common stock upon Alpha's partial conversion of the 2022 Debenture at $66.00 per share for a total of $1,111,078 principal. The issuances to Alpha were undertaken in reliance upon the exemptions from registration described in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
| II-2 |
In October and December 2023, we issued 6,193 shares of common stock to Alpha in lieu of cash for monthly redemption payments on the 2022 Debenture at a weighted average price of $35.52 per share. No underwriter was involved. The issuances to Alpha were undertaken in reliance upon the exemptions from registration described in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
In February, March April and May 2024, we issued a total of 32,092 shares of common stock to Alpha in lieu of cash for monthly redemption payments on the 2022 Debenture at a weighted average price of $14.47 per share. No underwriter was involved. The issuances to Alpha were undertaken in reliance upon the exemptions from registration described in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
On February 27, 2024, we issued to Alpha an 8% Convertible Debenture (the "2024 Alpha Debenture") in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000 for a purchase price of $500,000. The 2024 Alpha Debenture matures no later than December 31, 2024 and is convertible, at any time, and from time to time, at Alpha's option, into shares of our common stock, at $30.56 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the 2024 Alpha Debenture. The 2024 Alpha Debenture accrues interest on its outstanding principal balance at the rate of 8% per annum, which interest is payable at maturity. Additionally, we issued a 5-year common stock purchase warrant (the "2024 Alpha Warrant") to Alpha to purchase up to 18,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $13.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the 2024 Alpha Warrant. No underwriter was involved. The issuance to Alpha was undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from registration described in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Both the 2024 Alpha Debenture and the 2024 Alpha Warrant include a beneficial ownership blocker of 9.99%, which may only be waived by Alpha upon 61 days' notice to us. Alpha has executed a waiver relinquishing its rights to receive prior notice of, and to participate in, this offering, and waived any provision of the 2024 Alpha Debenture that would otherwise result in the acceleration of the maturity date upon the completion of this offering to a date earlier than December 31, 2024.
On April 12, 2024, we issued to Yi Hua Chen ("Chen") an 8% Convertible Debenture (the "2024 Chen Debenture") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000 for a purchase price of $1,000,000. The 2024 Chen Debenture matures no later than December 31, 2024 and is convertible, at any time, and from time to time, at Chen's option, into shares of our common stock, at $30.56 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the 2024 Chen Debenture. The 2024 Chen Debenture accrues interest on its outstanding principal balance at the rate of 8% per annum, which interest is payable at maturity. Additionally, we issued a 5-year common stock purchase warrant (the "2024 Chen Warrant") to Chen to purchase up to 36,001 shares of our common stock at a price of $13.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the 2024 Chen Warrant. No underwriter was involved. The issuance to Chen was undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from registration described in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Both the 2024 Chen Debenture and the 2024 Chen Warrant include a beneficial ownership blocker of 9.99%, which may only be waived by Chen upon 61 days' notice to us.

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);
| II-7 |
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(i) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
