As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the stability and/or diversity of its crypto services revenue was misrepresnted; (2) failed to disclose Bakkt's Crypto services revenue was substantially dependent on a single contract with Webull; (3) misrepresented its ability to maintain key client relationships.

The Company revealed that in the prior nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the full year ended December 31, 2023, Webull made up 74% of Bakkt's crypto services revenue. In that same period, the Company derived 98% of its revenue from crypto services.

The Company revealed Bank of America made up 17% of Bakkt's loyalty services revenue in the prior nine months ended September 30, 2024. The customer cancellations will collectively result in a 73% loss in top line revenue going forward.
On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.50 or 27.3%, to close at $9.33 per share on March 18, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Why BioNTech Stock Soared Today
BioNTech and Bristol Myers Squibb are teaming up to develop a new cancer drug, BNT327. BioNTech has moved the drug into phase 3 trials, and now Bristol will help to fund further trials. Cash payments to BioNTech could exceed $11 billion over time. 10 stocks we like better than BioNTech Se › BioNTech (NASDAQ: BNTX), one of the companies made famous for its role developing vaccines with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, soared 20.2% through 12:50 p.m. Monday on news entirely unrelated to COVID. The German biotech announced this morning it is partnering with pharmaceuticals giant Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) to "co-develop and co-commercialize" BioNTech's drug candidate BNT327 as an immunotherapy against multiple kinds of cancer. BioNTech and Bristol will evenly split the costs of developing and commercializing BNT327, and will "work jointly to broaden and accelerate the development of this clinical candidate." The drug is already involved in "multiple" ongoing clinical trials, including an advanced phase 3 trial testing its usefulness in treating breast cancer and both small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. BioNTech CEO Dr. Uğur Şahin expressed the belief that "BNT327 has the potential to become a foundational immuno-oncology backbone, moving beyond single-mechanism checkpoint inhibitors and expanding into multiple solid-tumor indications." Bristol CEO Christopher Boerner agreed that BNT327 has "significant potential for transforming the standard of care for patients with solid tumors." There are more immediate benefits for BioNTech stock, beginning with Bristol Myers Squibb paying BioNTech $1.5 billion up front for the rights to team up and a further $2 billion in noncontingent payments through 2028 as drug development continues. Additional developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones, which are contingent on successful development, could add a further $7.6 billion to BioNTech's balance sheet over time. With its lucrative COVID days behind it, BioNTech reported nearly $690 million in losses last year and turned free-cash-flow negative. A tidal wave of cash from Bristol Myers Squibb could really come in handy right about now.

Why IonQ Stock Soared 47% in May
IonQ shares soared last month as the CEO compared it to Nvidia. The company also got a boost from its first-quarter earnings report and its acquisition of Lightsynq. Trading at a lofty price-to-sales ratio of over 100, the stock could easily fall from here. 10 stocks we like better than IonQ › Shares of IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a developer of quantum computers and related platforms, were soaring last month, primarily in response to favorable coverage in Barron's, and an article that said it was aiming to be "the Nvidia of quantum computing." Additionally, the company reported first-quarter earnings that were generally in line with estimates and benefited from a broader risk-on sentiment in the market as worries about a trade war and a weakening economy faded. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, the stock finished the month up 47%. As you can see from the chart, shares surged on the Barron's report on May 22, but then gave up some of those gains the following week as bullishness in the stock seemed to fade following an Nvidia's earnings report that did not highlight quantum computing. Quantum stocks generally rallied last month, as some investors bet that it could be the next big technology after artificial intelligence (AI), but IonQ, which is the most valuable of the group of quantum stocks, got a particular boost on May 22 thanks to the coverage in Barron's, as IonQ soared 37% that day. In an interview with Barron's, CEO Niccolo de Masi said, "We're in the business of quantum just like Nvidia and Broadcom are in the business of classical GPUs," adding, "I believe IonQ will be the Nvidia player. There will be other people that copy us and follow us; they have always copied and followed us." It was a bold statement coming from a company that earlier in May reported just $7.6 million in revenue in its first quarter, or less than 0.1% of what Nvidia and Broadcom reported. IonQ also continues to lose money as it invests in its technology. In the first quarter, the company reported a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net loss of $32.3 million, and an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) loss of $35.8 million. Last month, the company also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KISTI), a technology research institute and supercomputing center. According to the MOU, the two companies will work together to collaborate in multiple areas to advance quantum computing. IonQ is now targeting revenue of $75 million-$95 million for the full year following its acquisition of Lightsynq, though justifying a market cap of $10 billion at that level of revenue seems difficult, especially when the company reported flat growth in the first quarter. Investors bullish on quantum computing might consider taking a small position in the stock, but it could easily plunge, considering it's been bid up on mostly hype.
