#Tether #Adecoagro #ShareTenderOffer #Investment #Acquisition #Stocks #Finance #Business #MarketNews
According to PANews, Tether Investments, a subsidiary of the Tether Group, has announced the results of its tender offer for common shares of Adecoagro S.A. The offer, which aimed to purchase up to 49,596,510 shares at a cash price of $12.41 per share, expired at midnight on April 24, 2025, New York time. The offer's custodian, Computershare Trust Company, NA, informed Tether that a total of 67,075,545 common shares were validly tendered by the expiration.
Previously, on March 27, 2025, Tether and Adecoagro announced a transaction agreement, unanimously approved by Adecoagro's board of directors. Under this agreement, Tether sought to acquire up to 70% of Adecoagro's outstanding common shares through the tender offer to achieve a controlling interest. Tether will accept and purchase 49,596,510 common shares based on the valid tenders at the offer's expiration.
Due to the tender offer's oversubscription, Tether will allocate shares proportionally before finalizing the acquisition. Specifically, Tether will purchase shares based on a proportion of each tendering shareholder's validly tendered shares, with fractional shares rounded accordingly. The calculated proration factor is approximately 73.9%.
Tether will instruct the depositary to promptly pay the purchase price to all accepted tendering shareholders and return any common shares not acquired due to proration to the respective shareholders.#Tether #Adecoagro #ShareTenderOffer #Investment #Acquisition #Stocks #Finance #Business #MarketNews

🚀 Gitcoin to Close Grants Lab Amid Evolving Ecosystem Challenges
#Gitcoin #GrantsLab #Ecosystem #PublicGoods #Layer2 #Funding #TeamTransition #RevenueModel #SoftwareDevelopment #Blockchain
According to BlockBeats, Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki announced on social media that the organization will shut down its main software development division, Grants Lab, and part ways with several talented team members. This decision marks one of the most challenging moments since Gitcoin's inception.
The closure is attributed to shifts in the ecosystem, including evolving public goods funding methods, the maturation of Layer 2 ecosystems, innovative collaboration mechanisms, and the emergence of new competitors. Additionally, key members of Grants Lab have departed, and the team lacks a clear, sustainable revenue model in its current form, leading to financial expenditures exceeding manageable limits.
As a result, Grants Lab will not apply for the budget for the second half of 2025, and remaining funds will be allocated for severance compensation for affected employees. Gitcoin has committed to supporting the transition of departing staff with respect and care.#Gitcoin #GrantsLab #Ecosystem #PublicGoods #Layer2 #Funding #TeamTransition #RevenueModel #SoftwareDevelopment #Blockchain

🚀 Bitcoin Market Faces Increased Volatility Amid Rising Leverage
#Bitcoin #Volatility #Leverage #MarketAnalysis #ShortPositions #FundingRate #Liquidations #StopLoss #ShortSqueeze #BullishMomentum
According to BlockBeats, Glassnode has reported that as Bitcoin's price rebounds, market leverage is increasing, heightening the potential for volatility through liquidations and stop-loss orders. Despite the rise in open interest positions, the average funding rate has decreased to -0.023%, indicating a market bias towards short positions. Bitcoin traders appear to be shorting the current rally, which could lead to a short squeeze if bullish momentum continues.
The seven-day moving average of the long funding rate premium has declined and continues to decrease. This suggests a reduced demand for long exposure to Bitcoin, further reinforcing the view that perpetual contract positions are predominantly short.#Bitcoin #Volatility #Leverage #MarketAnalysis #ShortPositions #FundingRate #Liquidations #StopLoss #ShortSqueeze #BullishMomentum
