Команду Ethena обвинили в присвоении 180 млн ENA

Разработчиков стейблкоина USDe — компанию Ethena Labs — заподозрили в неправомерном использовании 180 млн нативных токенов ENA для фарминга. Об этом сообщил исследователь под ником Nomad.

Alert: Important Notice for ENA/USDe Holders

The Ethena team is currently using 180M ENA tokens (25% of SENA supply that earns sats) to farm sats in Season 3, effectively diluting other participants' rewards. This raises significant concerns about the team's ethics.

Эксперт утверждает, что команда Ethena владеет примерно 25% от общего объема заблокированных в стейкинге ENA. Члены сообщества блокируют монеты для получения баллов Sats в рамках третьего сезона аирдропа.

Nomad предупредил, что такая ситуация может уменьшить объем наград для обычных участников.

Согласно расследованию, в августе на адрес Coinbase Prime Custody поступило более 3 млрд ENA, которые предположительно предназначались для основной команды Ethena Labs и Ethena Foundation, но имели период вестинга.

В октябре, после запуска механизма стейкинга, шесть принадлежащих Ethena криптокошельков получили 180 млн ENA от Coinbase Prime Custody. Все они представлены в таблице лидеров Ethena по объему Sats.

Помимо внутрисетевых поинтов команда протокола также зарабатывала вознаграждения в баллах Ethereal. На связанный с разработчиками кластер кошельков приходится около 20% всех Ethereal, выделенных для сообщества, утверждает Nomad.

«Никто на самом деле не знает, какой доход от финансирования и стейкинга команда Ethena получает из пользовательского фонда в размере $2,6 млрд, или же она направляет весь доход держателям USDe», — отметил аналитик.

В ответ на вопросы участников сети представители Ethena Labs заявили, что команда не использует заблокированные монеты для фарма.

We are aware of questions circulating in Discord and X as to whether investors or the Ethena team are earning Ethereal rewards via sENA using locked tokens.

We would like to categorically confirm to our community that absolutely no locked team or investor tokens are staked as… pic.twitter.com/v5SxgDwCTp

«Любые ENA, отправленные из рассматриваемых кошельков, разблокированы в соответствии с точным графиком вестинга, изложенным в исходном сообщении в блоге о распределении токенов. Рассматриваемые кошельки содержат разблокированные токены фонда, которые соответствуют критериям», — говорится в сообщении.

Фонд протокола также заверил сообщество, что указанные адреса не получат будущие аирдропы и вознаграждения от Ethereal.

Напомним, капитализация стейблкоина от Ethena Labs преодолела отметку в $3 млрд всего за четыре месяца после запуска — быстрее всех конкурентов.

В CryptoQuant рекомендовали держателям USDe следить за этим параметром. Согласно расчетам, в условиях отрицательных ставок финансирования резервный фонд удастся поддерживать в случае, если капитализация «синтетического доллара» не превысит $3 млрд.

Ethereum Foundation Faces Another Departure as Hsiao-Wei Wang Steps Down

Hsiao-Wei Wang, a key researcher and contributor, has resigned from the Ethereum Foundation. Her work was pivotal in Ethereum's transition to Proof-of-Stake and projects related to scalability and validator engagement. This departure is part of a broader period of organizational restructuring and strategic reorientation for the Foundation, which has seen several other high-profile exits recently. The Foundation is implementing leadership and structural changes to better define its role within the ecosystem, while emphasizing that Ethereum's development remains decentralized. This transition occurs as developers continue work on major initiatives like the Glamsterdam update and Layer-1 scaling. Market observers view these changes as the Foundation adapting to support Ethereum's ongoing growth.

Conversation with Investor Zheng Di: MicroStrategy's Coin Sale Experiment, AI Economy, and Opportunities in US Stocks

Frontier tech investor Zheng "Didier" Di discusses the recent Bitcoin price drop, the financial strategy shift at MicroStrategy, the AI-driven surge in U.S. stocks, and the evolving role of crypto exchanges. Didier posits that the recent BTC decline stems less from macro factors or ETF outflows, and more from market repricing due to MicroStrategy's new financial structure. Following a wave of preferred stock and debt issuance (STRC, STRZ, etc.), MicroStrategy must now manage cash flow to pay dividends, potentially leading to a market expectation of sustained, small-scale BTC sales to maintain its "per-share bitcoin neutral" principle. Didier views this as a financial "experiment" testing market capacity for such recurring sell pressure, which, while creating near-term structural headwinds, likely avoids a true "death spiral" absent major new external shocks. Shifting to AI, Didier argues that tokens are becoming the new form of labor, with AI models and compute (tokenized inputs) increasingly replacing human roles in execution and middle-management. This drives enterprise efficiency and higher margins, fueling the sustained rally in U.S. semiconductor, data center, and infrastructure stocks. He foresees an emerging "machine economy" where automated agents transact and collaborate on-chain. Regarding crypto exchanges offering U.S. equities, Didier sees this as a natural evolution. With few crypto-native assets generating lasting value, exchanges are pivoting towards real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks and bonds. This doesn't necessarily cannibalize crypto but reflects a maturing industry focusing on blockchain's core utilities: decentralized choice and efficient settlement. He notes that trading logic for crypto natives doesn't need to drastically change, as meme-driven and fundamentalist strategies find analogs in U.S. markets. The "1011 event" (likely referring to a major market crash) severely damaged crypto market liquidity, marking a probable end to the altcoin speculative cycle, with capital flowing towards the deeper liquidity of U.S. markets. For the macro outlook, Didier is cautious about near-term market pressure from potential mega-IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and the U.S. midterm elections, which could bring more regulatory scrutiny. Long-term, he remains bullish on AI's productivity gains and its convergence with blockchain/Web3, predicting a shift from speculative frenzy to a more institutionalized, industrial phase for the crypto sector.

Playnance’s $GCOIN Lists on KoinBX Amid Rapid Growth in India

Playnance's native token, $GCOIN, has been listed on the cryptocurrency exchange KoinBX as of June 18.

Over 130 partners in Playnance's "Be the Boss" program have built communities engaging thousands of active players in the region.

CEO Pini Peter noted India's high engagement, with community leaders successfully building player networks. One partner, Dr. Nicolas, reported earning over $57,000 through the program in recent months, highlighting both the financial rewards and the opportunity to grow an engaged community. $GCOIN serves as the ecosystem's core utility token, incentivizing participation and aligning the interests of players and community leaders ("Bosses"). The listing on KoinBX is part of Playnance's strategy to expand globally, increasing the token's utility and accessibility by combining community ownership, gamified engagement, and blockchain-based incentives. Founded in 2020, Playnance is a Web3 iGaming infrastructure company focused on creating live, non-custodial, on-chain products to onboard mainstream users.

STRC Hits Historic Low, Saylor's Perpetual Motion Machine Grinds to a Halt

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock issued by MicroStrategy to fund its Bitcoin purchases, hit a historic low of $85.32, a 17% discount to its $100 par value. Designed as a "digital credit engine" to trade stably near par and enable continuous share issuance for buying Bitcoin, its plunge signals a breakdown in this model. Three key factors drove the decline: 1. Bitcoin's price fell over 50% from its peak, trading around $63,000 amid hawkish Fed signals. 2. MicroStrategy's cash reserves were depleted after a $1.5 billion convertible note repayment, slashing the dividend coverage for STRC's 11.5% yield to ~7 months. The company then sold 32 BTC to cover dividends—Michael Saylor's first Bitcoin sale since 2022—damaging the "never sell" narrative. 3. A competing Bitcoin-backed preferred stock, Strive's SATA, offers a higher yield (~13%) and daily dividends, drawing investors away from STRC. The drop triggers a negative cycle: STRC below par halts ATM share issuances, cutting off a key funding source for Bitcoin buys and potentially forcing more BTC sales for dividends, further eroding confidence. While Saylor argues the model is mathematically sound—needing only 2.3% annual Bitcoin growth to sustain itself—the market is testing the resilience of the leveraged Bitcoin treasury strategy in a bear market. The STRC price now reflects rising skepticism about this financial machinery's durability during downturns.

A Guide to Grayscale’s ‘Bottom Fishing’: Using Cash Flow to Assess Cryptocurrency Value

**Title:** Grayscale's Guide to Bottom-Fishing: Valuing Cryptoassets Using Cash Flows **Summary:** This report by Grayscale Research presents a fundamental valuation framework for cryptocurrency assets, moving beyond pure speculation to analyze those with underlying cash flows. It distinguishes between "commodity-like" assets (e.g., Bitcoin) and "cash-flow" assets, primarily within DeFi. Using the leading decentralized lending protocol Aave as a case study, the analysis applies traditional financial methodologies like Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and Price-to-Earnings (P/E) multiples. Key findings indicate that AAVE tokens are currently undervalued. Despite recent challenges, the protocol's strong revenue growth, ~50% net profit margin, and diversified treasury support a fundamental valuation range of $80-$100 per token (compared to a ~$75 market price at the time of writing). In a base-case scenario driven by stablecoin adoption and regulatory clarity, the fair value could rise to around $175 within a year. The report emphasizes that protocol success does not automatically translate to token value. It critically examines the "value capture" mechanisms—such as buybacks, burns, and staking rewards—that channel protocol profits to token holders. Furthermore, it addresses the legal and governance complexities of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), noting their difference from traditional corporate equity but highlighting how robust, transparent governance can align protocol economics with holder interests. The conclusion is that the crypto market is maturing, with capital increasingly flowing towards projects with demonstrable fundamentals, real adoption, and disciplined capital allocation, creating opportunities for value-based investors.
