The market has recently seen significant declines among various companies, with iCoreConnect Inc. (NASDAQ:ICCT) leading the way. ICCT's stock price plummeted by 47.5% to $0.063, a sharp fall from its year-high of $15. Despite offering diverse HIPAA-compliant services, the company faces challenges. A 1-for-20 reverse stock split is planned for December 2024, as highlighted by NASDAQ.

Ribbon Acquisition Corp Rights (RIBBR) experienced a 35.67% drop to $0.18. As a blank check company, RIBBR's volatility is typical of shell companies focused on mergers and acquisitions without specific operations. This highlights the risks associated with investing in such entities.

Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:WTMA) saw a 35.36% decrease to $7.75. Despite plans to merge with businesses in the technology metals sector, market skepticism remains. A registration statement filed with the U.S. SEC for a proposed business combination with Evolution Metals LLC marks a strategic move.

NAYA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVF) dropped by 25.13% to $2.59. The company's focus on fertility care through INVO Fertility, Inc. and its proprietary INVOcell® device hasn't reassured investors. A 1-for-3 reverse stock split is set for July 2025, as highlighted by NASDAQ.

GraniteShares 2x Long MARA Daily ETF (MRAL) faced a 25.03% decrease to $22.87. This underscores the risks of leveraged ETFs, especially those tied to specific companies like MARA Holdings Inc.
