What to know:
- B. Riley said WhiteFiber’s NC-1 Nscale deal backs the company's timeline and execution.
- Lender talks for a construction facility are advanced, with potential credit enhancements.
- The bank's analysts reiterated their buy rating on the stock while trimming their price target to $40 from $44 following the stock's more than 50% decline from record highs.
Data center developer WhiteFiber's (WYFI) first long-term colocation deal at its flagship NC-1 campus with Nscale Global supports management’s execution and its original deployment timeline, investment bank B. Riley said in a report Tuesday.
"We believe WYFI's reaffirmation of its original deployment timeline demonstrates its execution capability and the benefit of the company's retrofit model," wrote analysts Nick Giles and Fedor Shabalin.

The analysts reiterated their buy rating on the stock while trimming their price target to $40 from $44 to reflect more conservative Cloud Services assumptions. That would be about 127% upside from last night's close of $17.62, down more than 50% from a record high two months ago.
The analysts noted that WhiteFiber is in advanced talks with lenders on a construction facility expected to close in early 2026, potentially with an accordion feature and credit enhancements that could lower its cost of capital.
On valuation, B. Riley said WhiteFiber trades at about 11x EV/EBITDA on its 2026 estimates and roughly 8x EV/EBITDA on its 4Q26 adjusted EBITDA run-rate, which it views as a meaningful discount to peers in the mid- to high-teens.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
