On September 26, 2025, Nasdaq temporarily halted trading of Smart Digital Group stock due to extreme volatility, and its price plummeted by 88%. The United States===United States Securities and Exchange Commission subsequently ordered a temporary suspension of trading due to potential manipulation. Nasdaq later announced a sustained suspension pending additional information from Smart Digital Group.
