Digital Currency X Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:DCX) saw its shares rally sharply in premarket trade, rising 37.9% after the company said it had regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum market value of listed securities rule.
Nasdaq provided written notice to Digital Currency X on January 23, 2026, confirming the company had maintained a market value of listed securities above the required $35,000,000 threshold for a continuous period of 20 business days spanning from December 23, 2025, to January 22, 2026. That confirmation resolved a previously disclosed compliance shortfall.
The compliance issue dated back to December 12, 2025, when Nasdaq informed the company it had failed to meet the minimum market value requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). With Nasdaq's subsequent confirmation that the threshold was met for the requisite window, the exchange has closed the matter.
Digital Currency X is a firm that develops infrastructure focused on cryptocurrency custody and storage solutions. The stock's sizable premarket gain appears to reflect investor relief that the company has satisfied Nasdaq's market value criterion and that its listing status will not be threatened by the specific compliance issue addressed in Nasdaq's notice.
For stakeholders monitoring listing standards, the sequence of events is straightforward: notice of noncompliance on December 12, 2025; the company maintained the required market value for the specified 20-business-day period between December 23, 2025 and January 22, 2026; Nasdaq issued written confirmation on January 23, 2026 and closed the matter.
The development highlights the direct link between regulatory listing requirements and short-term market moves for companies operating in specialized segments of the financial technology and digital asset ecosystem. In this case, the compliance resolution removed a potential regulatory overhang and coincided with a marked uptick in premarket trading activity for DCX.
Clear summary
Digital Currency X regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum market value rule after maintaining a market capitalization above $35,000,000 for 20 consecutive business days from December 23, 2025 to January 22, 2026; Nasdaq confirmed this in writing on January 23, 2026 and closed the related compliance matter, while DCX shares rose 37.9% in premarket trading.
