The post Solana news: Why VCI Global’s OOB Deal Didn’t Stop a 99.9% YTD Rout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights Solana news: VCI Global stock is down 99.9% YTD, including a 31% drop in four weeks. OOB deal largely non-cash: 98.4% of tokens came from share transfers; Tether got 39.8% of PIPE shares. Regulatory and listing risks: Missing 13D concerns and reliance on Kraken keeping OOB listed. Solana news rarely moves the needle for traditional equities, but VCI Global’s high-profile plunge into the Oobit ecosystem, backed by Tether and Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, made headlines when the company committed $100 million to OOB tokens on November 11, 2025. However, its Nasdaq-listed shares collapsed another 10.38% that week to $1.17, capping a staggering 99.9% year-to-date decline from an adjusted $1,440 opening price. The deal, detailed in an SEC filing the same day, handed Tether 39.8% of a PIPE issuance and named VCI Global treasury manager for the OOB Foundation, yet the market punished the stock relentlessly. The volume spiked to 5.7 million shares on December 4, triple the 30-day average, and market cap shrinking to just $7.66 million. Despite Solana’s blistering network growth, TVL up 20% to $10 billion in November per DefiLlama, and Oobit’s promise of tap-to-pay USDT at 100 million merchants, the marriage of Solana news and public-company exposure delivered a brutal reminder that crypto tailwinds don’t automatically lift every boat. The Deal That Sparked Solana News — And a Stock Rout VCI Global closed the first $50 million tranche on November 11, acquiring 250 million OOB tokens at $0.20 each via restricted shares. A second $50 million cash purchase followed Oobit’s November 12 listings on Kraken and KCEX. Tether, already the world’s largest stablecoin issuer with $183 billion in circulation, became VCI Global’s biggest shareholder overnight. Oobit itself had migrated to Solana weeks earlier for sub-second settlements, leveraging the chain’s 65,000 TPS capacity audited by OtterSec…

The post Tether hasn’t saved this OOB stock from a 99.9% YTD loss appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. If an investor were to read the SEC filings of VCI Global, they may find it difficult to understand its risky ties to Tether and Solana. Amid a sort of information vacuum and other executive disappointments in 2025, holding shares of VCI Global since their open of trading on a “100 million OOB token digital-asset-treasury transaction” announcement would have earned a 31% loss in less than four weeks. Longer term shareholders have performed even worse. Anyone’s investment since the start of the year has suffered a catastrophic, 99.9% loss. Year-to-date chart of VCI Global. Source: TradingView Oobit (OOB) is a tap-to-pay app that uses its proprietary token as well as stablecoins like Tether (USDT) for mobile device payments. VCI Global is a microcap Nasdaq stock with a market capitalization in the single-digit millions and a float of less than 24,000 shares. The company is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and apparently has a problem with CEO impersonation fraud, according to a prominent notice on the company’s homepage. That’s just the beginning of its problems. On November 26, the company claimed to have acquired 4,174,603 additional OOB tokens “from the open market,” yet that disclosure refrained from mentioning that it acquired the vast majority of its OOB without any purchases, devoid of market forces from exchange listings of OOB. Specifically, the company already owned 250 million OOB tokens — priced before the token was trading on Kraken or other major exchanges. Its 4.1 million token purchase at $0.24 was merely an investment of $1 million. The company characterized the tiny purchase and 1.6% increase as the “initial phase of our US$50 million accumulation plan.” Focusing on what actually matters, 98.4% of the company’s OOB holdings were transferred by investors who received 50 million shares worth of VCI Global stock and pre-funded, immediately…
