Zebec's integrated products - real time payroll apps, on-chain payments infrastructure and networked DePIN - serve companies of all sizes, merchants and individuals and help transcend the boundaries of traditional banking and diminish the role of financial intermediaries.

Zebec Network

Zebec Network is capturing attention as investors react to its new payroll infrastructure integration with the Stellar network, fueling community speculation about a potential future partnership with Ripple. While holders remain focused on the project's real-world utility and long-term staking potential, the stock is experiencing significant volatility as market participants debate whether these announcements represent a lasting catalyst or a temporary pump.

Solana is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for mass adoption by providing a fast, secure, and low-cost environment for decentralized applications. It distinguishes itself by scaling globally without the use of complex sharding or multiple layers, instead maintaining a single, unified ledger to avoid liquidity fragmentation. This architecture allows it to process thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality, often at a cost of less than a penny per transaction.  The network operates on a unique hybrid model that combines Proof of Stake with an innovation called Proof of History, which functions as a decentralized clock to timestamp transactions. This system reduces the need for constant node communication, allowing the Sealevel engine to run non-conflicting smart contracts in parallel across multiple CPU cores. Further efficiency is gained through the Gulf Stream protocol, which reduces confirmation times by forwarding transactions to validators before the current block is finished.  Founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana is now supported by the Switzerland-based Solana Foundation and significant institutional investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital. The platform’s native token, SOL, serves as the primary currency for paying transaction fees, participating in network governance, and securing the system through staking.   Solana has also seen significant institutional adoption ranging from spot Solana ETFs to major partnerships including Visa's 2025 launch of USDC settlement on the network and the tokenization of public equity by firms like Galaxy Digital.

ETF Winners & Losers of Q1 2026

Iran war reshaped Q1 markets: energy, shipping & lithium ETFs surged while tech and airlines lagged as inflation fears and oil shocks rattled sentiment.



<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>UniQure’s AMT-130 is a gene therapy to reduce levels of the Huntingtin protein in the brain.</li><li>The FDA recently said that data from uniQure’s Phase I/II trials were not sufficient and recommended a new randomized Phase III study.</li><li>RBC Capital estimates a 50% chance of eventual approval as Prasad’s exit could reopen a more balanced discussion at the FDA about the risk-benefit profile of AMT-130.</li></ul>Shares of uniQure N.V. (QURE) surged more than 20% on Monday, following upgrades from Wall Street firms, citing a potentially improving regulatory outlook for its Huntington’s disease therapy.Wells Fargo upgraded the company to ‘Overweight’ from ‘Equal Weight’ and sharply raised its price target to $60 from $15, according to The Fly. This implies a 243% potential rise from its current price of around $17.5.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Vinay Prasad’s Reported Departure In Spotlight</h2>Wells Fargo said the outlook for uniQure’s experimental gene therapy AMT-130 could improve following reports that Vinay Prasad will leave the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) next month. Prasad, who serves as both the Chief Medical and Scientific Officer and the Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the FDA, is set to leave next month, according to a Bloomberg report on Friday.Wells Fargo also noted that strong criticism from the media and the Huntington’s disease community over the FDA’s call for a new Phase 3 trial highlights stakeholder support for the therapy. That backing could strengthen the drug’s chances during review, approval, and commercialization.AMT-130 is a gene therapy to reduce levels of the Huntingtin protein in the brain. It uses a virus to deliver genetic instructions that help lower the protein. The treatment is administered directly into the striatum, an area of the brain heavily affected by Huntington’s disease, through a surgical procedure.Separately, RBC Capital Markets upgraded uniQure to ‘Outperform’ from ‘Sector Perform’ and raised its price target to $35 from $11. The firm said Prasad’s exit could reopen a more balanced discussion at the FDA about the risk-benefit profile of AMT-130, estimating about a 50% chance of eventual approval.<h2 class="st-heading-2">FDA Seeks New Randomized Study</h2>The upgrades come after regulatory uncertainty weighed on the company earlier this year. The FDA recently said that data from uniQure’s Phase I/II trials were insufficient to support a marketing application and recommended that the company conduct a new randomized Phase III study, including a controversial sham surgery control group.uniQure has raised ethical concerns about such a trial design, arguing that it could expose patients to surgical risks without therapeutic benefit. The company plans to request another meeting with the FDA in the second quarter of 2026 to discuss potential study designs.Despite the regulatory debate, AMT-130 has shown promising early data. In an earlier study, patients receiving a high dose of the gene therapy experienced about a 75% slower rate of disease progression after three years, along with a slower decline in both motor function and cognitive ability.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>Despite the sharp rally, retail sentiment for <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QURE">QURE</a> on Stocktwits turned ‘bullish’ from ‘extremely bullish’ a day earlier, amid ‘extremely high’ message volumes.One user expects the stock to surge to $150 if the company receives the FDA approval.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/ChineseTakeeout/message/646975511</stembedurl>Another user weighed the options present for short sellers and long-term investors.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/sepsis74/message/646972082</stembedurl>The stock has declined nearly 28% so far in 2026.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/saudi-arabia-begins-slashing-oil-production-tpet-batl-indo-shares-continue-to-draw-retail-buzz/cZdVlsWRIIj">Saudi Arabia Begins Slashing Oil Production – TPET, BATL, INDO Stocks Continue To Draw Retail Buzz</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>H.C. Wainwright conservatively expects approval by the middle of 2026 and sees the shares trading well into the year-end.</li><li>Capricor’s bumper rally on Wednesday helped the stock turn green for the year.</li><li>Retail sees the stock as a long-term winner following the Phase 3 results.</li></ul>Two decades after its modest beginnings and more than a decade after becoming a public company, San Diego, California-based Capricor Therapeutics made another stride toward becoming a commercial-stage company. After a failed first try, the small-cap biotech is hoping to push its experimental cell-therapy for a rare genetic muscular disorder past the finish line without any hiccups.Wall Street analysts and the investment community received the recently released late-stage trial data for the treatment candidate well. While sell-side analysts were generous with their price target hikes, signaling their excitement toward the data, investors sent the stock up by over 530% at one point in Wednesday’s session. The initial euphoria faded slightly, but didn’t die out, as<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CAPR">&nbsp;Capricor’s stock</a> had enough verve to finish the day up 371% at $29.96,&nbsp;ending at an eight-year high and marking its best day ever.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_04_at_2_28_48_AM_png_599beb080a.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-04 at 2.28.48 AM.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Fueled CAPR’s Stratospheric Rally</h2>Wednesday, before the market opened, Capricor reported positive topline results from the Phase 3 study, dubbed HOPE-3, evaluating its Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) cell therapy candidate, Deramiocel.-The primary endpoint, measured as the performance of upper limb (PUL), was met — showing statistically and clinically meaningful treatment effects in 54% of the patients.-The key secondary endpoint of “Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF),” a measure of heart health, was also met.&nbsp;Thus, Deramiocel was shown to produce significant skeletal and cardiac benefits, supporting its credentials as a potential “first-in-class therapy” for Duchenne cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of mortality in DMD. The trial also gave the cell therapy a clean chit for its safety and tolerability.Capricor said it would submit the detailed results from the HOPE-3 study at a future scientific meeting and for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.Earlier in July, the FDA shot down Capricor’s initial application for Deramiocel, issuing a complete response letter (CRL) — a notice that an application cannot be approved in its current form. The agency expressed wariness about the company's efficacy data at the time and sought additional data. Industry experts saw it as a signal that the new leadership at the FDA could be veering toward a cautious approach.&nbsp;&nbsp;CEO Linda Marbán said the study results, in addition to the evidence from the HOPE-2 and HOPE-2 OLE studies, would address the clinical issues in the CRL and support regulatory approval.DMD is caused by a mutation in the DMD gene that prevents the body from producing the protein dystrophin. A lack of dystrophin hits muscle fibres, leading to muscle damage and loss.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">What’s At Stake For Capricor</h2>According to Grand View Research, the DMD drugs<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy-dmd-drugs-market">&nbsp;market</a> is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8% from 2024, reaching $9.91 billion in 2030. North America’s revenue share was at 45% in 2023. Global Data, meanwhile, has a more muted forecast, predicting a $5.2 billion market opportunity in 2033.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_04_at_3_25_08_AM_png_f4173223fa.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-04 at 3.25.08 AM.png">Source: Grandview ResearchThe DMD market is currently led by Sarepta, which has a gene-replacement therapy called Eteplirsen. Elevidys, a one-time single-dose gene transfer therapy, was approved in June 2023, and its label was expanded a year later to include patients ages four and older. The gene therapy generated $131.5 million in revenue for Sarepta in the third quarter.Capricor’s Deramiocel differs from Elevidys in that it is a cell therapy that administers the patient's cardiosphere-derived cells, which secrete exosomes. The latter uses a manufactured gene for delivering the micro-dysrophin gene.Sarepta also has three FDA-approved exon-skipping therapies, Exondys 51, Amondys 45 and Vyondys 53, and it is also currently working on RNA therapies.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Big Price Target Bumps</h2>Following the data, H.C.
