AC Exits Sonic Board, 'DeFi Godfather' Pulls Off Another Strategic Retreat

Andre Cronje, known as the "DeFi Godfather," and two other founding directors have stepped down from the Sonic Labs board. The S token, once valued at $1.03, has plummeted 97% to $0.028, and the chain's TVL has evaporated 98% from its peak. In his exit statement, Cronje clarified he was a technical architect, not a founder, and distanced himself from token economics and migration decisions behind the token's crash. Cronje revealed his focus for the past 18 months has been his new project, Flying Tulip. This project raised $200 million privately last year at a $10 billion valuation. Its token design includes a perpetual put option (ftPUT NFT) for early investors, allowing them to redeem their initial investment at any time—a protection not extended to public market buyers. This pattern mirrors Cronje's past exits from projects like Yearn Finance and Fantom, where he departed near peak hype, leaving later holders to bear significant losses. Sonic itself has seen a complete management overhaul in recent months. The article frames this as a microcosm of the broader crypto bear market, where Layer-1 chains are bleeding value. It highlights a harsh reality: a project's valuation is often tied to a founder's reputation rather than fundamentals. Ironically, Flying Tulip is set to launch first on the Sonic chain Cronje just left, underscoring a disconnect between the person and the platform.

Lowering Expectations for BTC's Next Bull Market

The author, Alex Xu, explains his decision to significantly reduce his Bitcoin holdings (from full to ~30% of his portfolio) during the current bull cycle, citing a lowered long-term outlook for BTC's price appreciation in the next cycle. He outlines six key reasons for this reduced expectation: 1. **Diminished Growth Drivers:** The narrative of exponential user adoption has largely played out with institutional ETF adoption. The next major growth phase—adoption by sovereign national reserves or central banks—seems unlikely in the near future. 2. **Personal Opportunity Cost:** More attractive investment opportunities have emerged in other assets, such as undervalued companies. 3. **Industry-Wide Contraction:** The broader crypto industry is struggling, with most Web3 business models (SocialFi, GameFi, DePIN) failing. This overall萧条 (depression) reduces the fundamental demand and consensus for Bitcoin. 4. **Strain on Major Buyer:** MicroStrategy, a major corporate buyer of BTC, faces rising financing expenses for its debt, which could slow its purchasing rate and create significant marginal pressure on the market. 5. **Increased Competition from Gold:** The emergence of "tokenized gold" has closed the functional gap (portability, divisibility) between physical gold and Bitcoin, offering a strong competitor in the non-sovereign store-of-value space. 6. **Security Budget Concerns:** The block reward halving continues to exacerbate the long-standing issue of funding Bitcoin's network security, with new fee source explorations like Ordinals and L2s largely failing. The author's decision to hold a significant (though reduced) position reflects a cautious, not bearish, outlook. He remains open to increasing his exposure if the fundamental reasons for his skepticism change or if new positive catalysts emerge.
