Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 19, 2025, Cypherpunk Technologies Inc. (f./k/a Leap Therapeutics, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Waiver and Modification Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Winklevoss Treasury Investments, LLC (“Winklevoss Capital”), which modifies and waives certain provisions of the Common Warrant, dated October 8, 2025, issued by the Company in favor of Winklevoss Capital (the “WTI Common Warrant”) in connection with the private placement of such securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 6, 2025, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein.
The WTI Common Warrant provides that the Company will reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), shares of Common Stock reserved solely to be issued upon exercise of the WTI Common Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”), which are to remain free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than Winklevoss Capital (the “Share Reservation Covenant”).
Under the Agreement, Winklevoss Capital has waived the Share Reservation Covenant with respect to 57,182,378 Warrant Shares (the “Restricted Warrant Shares”), so as to make such shares available to the Company for their potential offer, issue and sale under the Company’s previously announced “at-the-market” equity offering program, pursuant to which the Company may offer, issue and sell from time to time up to a maximum aggregate offering amount of $200 million of shares of its Common Stock.
In addition, Winklevoss Capital is not entitled to exercise the WTI Common Warrant in whole or in part with respect to such 57,182,378 Restricted Warrant Shares until the fifth trading day after the earlier to occur of (i) the Company’s authorized Common Stock having increased to at least 490,000,000 shares or (ii) the Company’s having effected a reverse stock split of its Common Stock in a ratio of at least 1 to 5 (1:5).
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of the Agreement are not applicable to the remaining number of Warrant Shares issuable under the WTI Common Warrant that are not Restricted Warrant Shares.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of Common Stock, nor shall there be any sale of shares of Common Stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4 of the Warrant, the Holder is entitled to exercise the Warrant at any time on or after the Original Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8 of the Warrant, the Corporation covenanted that it will, at all times while the Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Holder desire to waive and modify certain terms and provisions of the Warrant to permit the Corporation to offer, issue, and sell shares of Common Stock under the ATM Offering, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
| 1. | Modification of Exercise Rights. |

| b. | The Holder hereby waives any rights under the Warrant with respect to the Corporation reserving or keeping available any shares of Common Stock for issuance or delivery upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to any or all of the Restricted Warrant Shares, until the occurrence of the Modified Permitted Exercise Date. |
| c. | For clarity, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2 shall not waive, alter, modify or change the Corporation’s obligation under Section 8 of the Warrant to reserve or keep available a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance or delivery upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to any and all of those Warrant Shares, if any, that are not Restricted Warrant Shares. |
