NEW YORK, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chardan, a leading global investment banking and advisory firm, today announced an expansion into the digital asset sector, advising on and structuring a series of transactions that bridge traditional capital markets with the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
As part of its strategic push into crypto finance, Chardan has recently served as a strategic advisor and placement agent in the following notable transactions: Eyenovia's $50 Million PIPE to Acquire HYPE Tokens Chardan acted as sole placement agent in Eyenovia Inc.'s (NASDAQ: EYEN) $50 million PIPE financing. The proceeds are being used to acquire over 1 million HYPE tokens, the native asset of the Hyperliquid blockchain, making Eyenovia the first U.S.-listed company to hold HYPE in its treasury. This transaction positions Eyenovia as a top validator on the Hyperliquid network and includes a strategic staking initiative in partnership with Anchorage Digital. The financing involved the issuance of non-voting convertible preferred stock and warrants, potentially raising up to $150 million in total proceeds. Lion Group's $600 Million Facility to Launch Hyperliquid Strategy VivoPower's $121 Million PIPE to Launch XRP Treasury Strategy Classover's $500 Million Convertible Notes for Solana Treasury Strategy Chardan served as financial advisor to Classover Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: KIDZ) in its $11 million initial tranche which is the first issuance under the $500 million senior secured convertible note financing. Under the terms of the financing agreement, approximately 80% of the net proceeds from the initial tranche will be allocated toward the purchase of Solana (SOL) tokens, subject to certain terms and limitations. Classover has already acquired over 6,400 SOL tokens and is exploring additional opportunities in staking and locked token acquisitions, reinforcing its commitment to blockchain-integrated financial strategy.
