[PRESS RELEASE – Frisco, TX, United States of America, July 8th, 2025]

GameSquare’s Board approves $100 million Ethereum treasury authorization to expand the Company’s crypto-based treasury management strategy over time.

Initial investment fuels GameSquare’s strategic alliance with Ryan Zurrer and Dialectic to deploy an Ethereum-native yield strateg.y

GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), (“GameSquare”, or the “Company”), a next-generation media, entertainment, and technology company, today announced the pricing of its previously announced underwritten public offering for the sale of 8,421,054 shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a price of $0.95 per share for expected aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company intends to use the majority of the proceeds to accelerate the launch of its newly formed Ethereum (“ETH”) based treasury strategy, supported by a strategic alliance with Dialectic, a global leader in crypto-native capital management.

“Today’s announcement reflects the confidence of a proven group of high-quality investors and leaders in decentralized finance,” said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. “We’ve partnered with one of the world’s top crypto investment firms to generate real, on-chain yield while deepening our expertise in decentralized finance, pursuing new revenue streams, and strengthening our balance sheet.”

“This new treasury management strategy enhances our financial flexibility and allows us to support a defined capital allocation plan that is focused on pursuing additional ETH asset purchases, funding potential share repurchases, and reinvesting in our growth initiatives,” added Kenna.

GameSquare’s ETH-focused yield generation strategy is built on top of Dialectic’s proprietary platform Medici, which applies machine learning models, automated optimization, and multi-layered risk controls to generate best-in-class risk-adjusted returns. Targeted yields of 8-14% significantly exceed the current ETH staking benchmarks of 3-4%.

Dialectic’s program includes multi-layered risk management protocols that are widely recognized as the best risk-adjusted yields in DeFi. GameSquare’s new Ethereum-focused treasury vehicle may also incorporate additional yield-generating strategies across the Ethereum ecosystem, potentially utilizing assets such as stablecoins and non-fungible tokens to diversify and amplify returns.

GameSquare’s Board has approved an ETH allocation of up to $100 million, based on staged investments over time, while keeping adequate working capital for the operating business.

“Our crypto strategy reinforces our existing foundation in gaming, technology, and media, and is aligned with the broader trend of institutional adoption of digital assets,” Kenna continued. “Our strategic partnership with leaders in the crypto space including Ryan Zurrer of Dialectic and Rhydon Lee of Goff Capital is just getting started and I am excited to update investors on the quick progress we are making.”

Lucid Capital Markets is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.

In addition, the Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,263,157 shares of its common stock (or common stock equivalents) at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering is expected to close on or about July 9, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2025. A preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering have been filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. A final prospectus supplement will be filed with the SEC. Copies of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering, when available, may also be obtained by contacting Lucid Capital Markets, LLC, 570 Lexington Avenue, 40th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Ripple Taps The Oldest US Bank to Custody RLUSD

letizo News

Published

on

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon) continues to serve as a global partner for different cryptocurrency-related initiatives, and the latest involves Ripple and its recently launched stablecoin.

According to a press release by the company, the oldest bank in the US will serve as a custodian for RLUSD.

The statement reads that both parties are “jointly committed to paving the way for digital asset adoption at institutional scale, and together, are bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto.”

RLUSD saw the light of day at the end of last year when the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) gave the green light. It’s now one of the few global stablecoins issued under the agency’s Trust Company Charter.

It is pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio, and it is backed by “high-quality liquid assets,” the company stated. Unlike other stablecoins, RLUSD is not focused on retail engagement. Instead, it has been “purpose-built for enterprise utility, particularly in improving the speed, cost, and efficiency of cross-border payments.”

“As primary custodian for RLUSD, we’re proud to support the growth of digital assets by providing a differentiated platform, designed to meet the evolving needs of institutions in the digital assets ecosystem,” commented Emily Portney, Global Head of Asset Servicing at BNY.

In addition to the collaboration for RLUSD custody, Ripple will also utilize BNY’s transaction banking services to “underpin its operations and continue delivering seamless solutions for its customers.”

BNY was one of the first US banks to dip its toes in the cryptocurrency market years ago, well before the country’s political and regulatory landscape became as favorable as it is now. Since the early COVID days, the institution has launched several BTC and crypto-related products and provides custody to certain digital asset firms, such as Grayscale.

Ripple (XRP) Eyes Breakout After 32-Week Hold Pattern

letizo News

Published

on

TL;DR

  • XRP completes a 32-week consolidation, matching the 2017 pattern that led to an explosive breakout.
  • Futures open interest hits $5.17B, with traders betting big on near-term XRP momentum.
  • Tight Bollinger Bands suggest volatility ahead; the past setup led to a 600% price pump.

XRP Price Trends Higher Amid Low Volume

Ripple (XRP) was trading at $2.34 as of Wednesday, posting a 2.4% gain in the last 24 hours. This follows a rise from $2.26 and extends the asset’s weekly gain to 6.48%. Its total market capitalization now stands at approximately $137.4 billion.

Meanwhile, trading volume has dropped 42.4% in the same period, with $2.58 billion in tokens changing hands. Lower volume during a price rise can signal weaker conviction, though the overall trend remains positive. The 24-hour trading range sits between $2.26 and $2.34.

Technical Setup Mirrors 2017 Pattern

According to trader @Ripplesinwales, XRP’s price has completed a 32-week consolidation period. This pattern matches a similar formation that occurred in 2017, which preceded a sharp breakout in week 33.

Chart data confirms the token is moving out of a long-term symmetrical triangle, a structure that often leads to a directional move. Volume has shown small signs of picking up. This has led traders to monitor the next few sessions closely as a potential breakout window.

Futures Market Open Interest Nears Record

Open interest in XRP futures reached $5.17 billion, marking a 3.07% increase and the highest reading since January. This surge brings XRP’s open futures positions near their previous all-time high. The metric has risen 33% since the June 22 low, showing stronger interest in derivatives markets.

In addition, Coinglass data indicates that open interest peaked at 800 million XRP before settling slightly lower at 743 million. Futures open interest reflects how much capital is deployed in active positions, and growth in this area suggests that traders are positioning for possible larger moves.

As previously reported by CryptoPotato, Steph Is Crypto pointed out that XRP’s Bollinger Bands have recently tightened. The last time the asset saw this setup, it resulted in a 600% price move.

Why Is AAVE Pumping? $1T Borrow Target Fuels Rally

letizo News

Published

on

TL;DR 

  • AAVE gains 14% in 7 days as cumulative borrows edge toward the $1 trillion mark.
  • Aave dominates DeFi with 22% of total TVL, surpassing Lido in protocol share.
  • The price nears $300 as technical indicators show strength, trading above the Bollinger midline with rising volatility.
  • Analyst says AAVE’s timing aligns with monthly pivot pattern, keeping bulls on alert.

AAVE Approaches Major Borrowing Threshold

Aave (AAVE) was trading at roughly $300 at press time, reflecting a 6.41% increase in the past 24 hours. Over the last 7 days, the price has gained 14.16%, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.54 billion based on a circulating supply of 15 million tokens.

Trading volume has also picked up, with $494.6 million recorded in the last 24 hours. The current daily range is between $280.39 and $300.84, showing sustained interest and strong upward movement from traders and investors.

Consequently, Aave’s total cumulative borrow volume has reached $775 billion, according to a recent update from the protocol. “Trillions next,” the Aave account posted on X, suggesting continued growth and borrowing activity on the platform.

DeFi analytics platform DefiLlama reports that Aave now represents 22% of total DeFi TVL and 46% of TVL within the lending sector. The current TVL across all DeFi platforms stands at $26.426 billion. Aave leads with the largest share, overtaking Lido, which has seen a decline in its dominance within the staking category.

Technical Setups Show Bullish Strength

Looking at the daily chart, AAVE is currently trading near the upper Bollinger Band. The bands are expanding, indicating increased volatility and the possibility of a continued trend. The price remains above the midline of $266.38, a sign that bullish pressure is still active.

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at +0.10, pointing to mild positive inflows. A reading above zero reflects buying activity, though current strength remains moderate. If CMF rises further, it could support a stronger move upward.

Analyst Sees Monthly Timing Patterns Align

Crypto analyst Jip Molenaar noted that AAVE often forms its first monthly pivot in the first six days. 

“Around 58% of months the last 5 years form the first pivot early,” they said. 

The second pivot usually appears during the final nine days, which could align with the current market setup.

Meanwhile, with more than two weeks left in the month, traders are watching closely. The price action around this timing window may help define the next direction as AAVE edges closer to key resistance at the $300–$310 zone.
