Billions in class action recoveries are distributed each year — yet a meaningful portion never reaches the firms entitled to it.

Not because firms aren't eligible, but because:

• Trade data is fragmented across brokers
• Class periods aren't systematically tracked
• Allocation methodologies are complex
• Filing is operationally intensive

At ARC Solutions, we track new cases as they emerge — representing a meaningful level of annual settlement activity.

For most firms, this isn't a one-time opportunity — it's a recurring source of recovery across portfolios.

We've just finalized our 2026 Case Report, outlining active and developing matters across: Securities, Antitrust (commodities, rates, FX), & Cryptocurrency.

If you're unsure whether your portfolios may be eligible, happy to take a look.

No cost unless there's a recovery.

Over the past few years, there has been a notable increase in litigation related to cryptocurrency markets, including exchange failures, token misrepresentations, and pricing/peg stability issues.

A significant focus has been on stablecoins, particularly USDT. While these coins are designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar, there have been instances of deviation and ongoing scrutiny regarding:

• Reserve backing transparency
• Market impact during periods of stress
• Potential investor reliance on pricing stability

From a claims perspective, these cases can become complex quickly due to:

• High-volume trading across multiple venues
• Wallet vs. exchange-based activity
• Data availability and reconstruction challenges
• Evolving legal theories surrounding "loss" and eligibility

At ARC Solutions, we are actively monitoring developments in crypto-related matters, not only for filed cases but also for emerging risks that could lead to recoverable events.

If you or your clients have traded:

• Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, etc.)
• Crypto pairs involving USD-pegged assets
• Or experienced losses during depegging events

…it may be beneficial to take a closer look. We are happy to review data confidentially and identify potential opportunities. Feel free to reach out if you'd like us to take a look.

The securities class action landscape is shifting. A smaller number of cases now account for the vast majority of investor losses — meaning that missing just one "mega" case could mean walking away from millions in recovery.

At the same time, AI and crypto filings are accelerating, biotech and pharma are under increased scrutiny, and market loss metrics are at multi-year highs. The dollars at stake have never been larger.

For institutional investors, the challenge is clear: opportunity in blockbuster settlements, but real risk of missing out due to record-retention policies, complex eligibility rules, and overlapping forums.

At ARC Solutions, we help ensure no exposure is overlooked. We safeguard data, navigate complex filings, and maximize recovery so you don't leave settlement dollars on the table.

If you'd like to discuss how ARC can protect your firm's exposures and secure every eligible recovery, reach out to us directly.
