    Fantom Foundation, the nonprofit behind the development of high-perfromance blockchain Fantom (FTM) and associated dApps, released a statement to make things clear before the resignation of Andre Cronje.
    Fantom (FTM) development continuing and accelerating
    According to the official statement shared by Fantom Foundation on its blog, there was a lot of "miscommunication" after media outlets started to spin the narrative of Andre Cronje's decision to leave DeFi segment.


Largely, this statement is set to explain that the influence of Andre Cronje's decision on Fantom's progress and promotion should not be exaggerated.
As per the document, neither Cronje nor his colleague Anton Nell were core developers of Fantom (FTM). Like other products that had been curated by Cronje, Fantom (FTM) has its own team to be responsible for Fantom's future.
As such, the roadmap of Fantom is still valid: the team is even expanding its human and technical resources:
Fantom's technology development is continuing as normal. In fact, it is accelerating, with new hires being made.

Here's how Andre Cronje's departure affected the altcoins
Also, Fantom's representatives stressed that media outlets that spread the misinformation had their articles retracted in "one-two hours."
As covered by U.Today previously, Andre Cronje and Anton Nell decided to quit all activities in the decentralized finance segment. They left their advisory positions at Yearn.Finance, Solidly and so on.

YFI, FTM, KP3R and other native cryptocurrencies of the products associated with these devs simultaneously posted double-digit losses in almost no time.
Known as "DeFi Dad," South African engineer Andre Cronje is one of the most influential developers in DeFi: he is an architect of the Yearn.Finance (YFI) protocol.

CRCL 暴涨暴跌,COIN 跟着跳水:CLARITY Act 背后真正的利益战争

A recent draft of the CLARITY Act sparked market volatility, with Circle (CRCL) and Coinbase (COIN) stocks plunging. The core issue is Section 404 of the draft, which proposes prohibiting digital asset service providers from paying interest or rewards *solely* for holding payment stablecoins. The article argues this is not merely a technical debate over rewards, but a fundamental battle over the future role of stablecoins: Will they remain purely payment/transaction tools, or evolve into on-chain savings accounts that compete with bank deposits? US banks, fearing deposit outflow, have lobbied heavily for such restrictions. While Circle and Coinbase were both hit, their exposures differ. Circle's direct revenue primarily comes from reserve earnings, so the draft impacts its future growth narrative. Coinbase, however, relies heavily on USDC rewards and balances as part of its "Everything Exchange" platform strategy, making its growth engine more directly vulnerable. The analysis identifies three deeper layers often missed: 1) The political economy of preventing stablecoins from becoming savings substitutes. 2) The distinct impact on issuers (Circle) versus distributors/platforms (Coinbase). 3) The migration of yield demand to other tokenized securities (like MMFs) regulated under existing frameworks, as hinted in Section 505 of the same draft. In essence, three major battles are underway: banks defending their deposit base, Coinbase fighting for user entry and distribution rights, and Wall Street aiming to control the compliant path for tokenization. While a short-term headwind for crypto-native platforms, the article suggests this regulatory push could force the industry to build more sustainable value in real payment and B2B infrastructure.

Tom Lee充值信仰:加密春天已至,ETH会涨到25万美元

Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine (NYSE: BMNR), asserts that "Crypto Spring" has arrived and predicts ETH could reach $250,000. In his speech at "Proof of Talk 2026," he outlines five macro catalysts: the end of the Iran war reducing oil-price inflation, the likely passing of pro-crypto US legislation (the Clarity Act), a supportive White House, a crypto-friendly new Fed Chair (Kevin Warsh), and strong demographic-driven equity market growth. Lee argues that two key trends will drive ETH's value: Agentic AI/robotics, which will require blockchain for control and payments, and the massive tokenization of real-world assets (potentially a $300 trillion market). He believes Ethereum is poised to become a future monetary unit, with its price closely linked to software stocks that are already benefiting from AI. He notes the evolving role of the Ethereum Foundation, whose ETH holdings have shrunk to 0.1% of supply. He positions public treasury companies like BitMine—which holds 4.47% of ETH's circulating supply—as the new key ecosystem funders and validators. Finally, Lee promotes BitMine as a leveraged play on ETH's rise. He highlights BitMine's investments in AI/identity (via Eightco/ORBS), its massive ETH staking operation generating ~$1M daily, its stake in content creator MrBeast, and its upcoming inclusion in the Russell 1000 index, which could drive significant institutional buying. He concludes that if ETH reaches $25,000, BitMine's stock could rise dramatically from its current ~$18 price.
