The Humanity Foundation has recently made significant adjustments to the $H token allocation plan, requiring investors to make a final choice between two options by April 26 at 09:00 UTC: one, extend the distribution, pushing the Cliff to September 25, 2026, and changing to equal distribution over 12 quarters; two, a 3:10 discounted immediate unlock, replacing the original 16,666,666 tokens with 5,000,000 $H (a 70% reduction), to be fully distributed on June 25, 2026.It is understood that the Humanity Foundation has sent adjustment notifications to over 100 investors. Early investment firm Trix Ventures has publicly disclosed its choice of the discounted immediate unlock.It is reported that this firm invested during the project's valuation phase of approximately $60 million, and even after the 3:10 discounted replacement, it can still achieve about 7 times return. Notably, the Humanity Protocol previously reached an in-depth cooperation with payment giant Mastercard, and the project's fundamentals have received endorsement from traditional financial institutions. The on-chain identity verification sector it belongs to is currently in its early market stage, but with the continuous expansion of AI-generated content and automated accounts, the demand for on-chain real identity verification is widely believed to grow exponentially, giving this sector long-term potential to become a leading project in the Web3 infrastructure field.The project is about to face a test of significant selling pressure from a one-time massive unlock, and whether it can grow explosively alongside the AI sector is crucial. Analysts point out that choosing the one-time unlock on June 25 is a safer decision. In the current market cycle, "certain liquidity" far outweighs paper numbers. The deferred plan extends the cycle to 3 years, with huge uncertainties regarding the protocol's survival and team stability.From a market structure perspective, June 25 faces obvious concentrated selling pressure risks: the Sablier contract release node is transparent on-chain, and quantitative and short-selling funds will precisely target this node; institutions may lock in profits by hedging in advance during the two-month window; market makers may withdraw buy depth in advance, causing the actual realization value to be less than 10% of the nominal value. Historically, large-scale concentrated unlocks of Starknet (STRK) and ApeCoin (APE) have triggered severe selling pressure, with the former dropping over 95% from its peak and the latter declining 77% within 7 months.

According to CoinDesk, Liz Truss, the former Prime Minister of the UK with the shortest term, stated in an interview that the UK economy is on a "very negative trajectory," with high taxes, excessive regulation, and energy costs making it so that the risks for entrepreneurs "often do not justify the returns." She attributed inflation and wealth inequality to "currency devaluation" and pointed out that discussions about monetary policy within the government have become "taboo," a phenomenon that is "quite disturbing."Truss expressed that she is "very interested" in Bitcoin, believing it to be an important tool against currency devaluation and to resist centralized financial control, and revealed that she had come into contact with Bitcoin as early as during her time as Chief Secretary to the Treasury.She is currently actively preparing for CPAC UK, planning to hold a three-day conference to unite entrepreneurs and activists to promote the "sovereignty and freedom" movement, stating bluntly: "There are only two choices, either sink or change completely."

OKX founder and CEO Star responded on Twitter regarding the "12 years ago OKCoin employee forged contract" incident, stating that the evidence of the richest man (suspected to refer to CZ) forging contracts during his tenure at OKCoin was already publicly available on the internet 12 years ago. Star also attached a YouTube video disclosed at that time, which contains QQ chat records between "CZ" and an accountant.According to CZ's new book "Binance Life," in the early years, CZ worked at the exchange OKCoin founded by Xu Mingxing. In January 2015, Xu Mingxing attempted to renegotiate his 10% stake in OKXCoin. CZ stated in the book that after his departure, Xu Mingxing continued to accuse him of forging the cooperation contract between Roger Ver and OKCoin during his tenure.

According to Cointelegraph, Twenty One Capital, founded by Jack Mallers, currently holds 43,514 bitcoins, making it the second largest publicly traded bitcoin treasury company, second only to Strategy's 762,099 bitcoins.The previously second-ranked mining company MARA has fallen to third place after selling 15,133 bitcoins (approximately $1 billion). Analysts point out that MARA increased its bitcoin holdings through debt during the bull market and is now forced to sell bitcoins at a loss to repay debts, which is exactly the scenario that critics of debt-driven treasury strategies warned about.This model sharply contrasts with Strategy's approach of viewing bitcoin as "perpetual digital credit" and continuously using bitcoin as collateral to finance acquisitions. Analysts believe this reflects the survival pressure faced by crypto treasuries and mining companies in a bear market environment.

Bo Shen, the founder of Distributed Capital, posted on social media to publicly solicit clues related to the theft of his personal wallet and established a bounty mechanism.Bo Shen stated that his personal wallet was hacked in 2022, resulting in a loss of approximately $42 million. In the three years since the incident, his team has continued tracking efforts and has now gathered more key clues and evidence, with the on-chain flow path of the stolen assets gradually becoming clearer. This bounty program is open to all individuals and institutions, with no restrictions on identity, background, or form. Anyone who makes a substantial contribution to the recovery of the assets will receive a reward of 10% to 20% of the final recovered amount, with the specific percentage determined based on the actual contribution level.

According to CoinDesk, Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison, has increased his public praise for President Trump, including support for the recent U.S. actions against Iran.

This statement has sparked speculation about his seeking a presidential pardon.

GMX Labs has released a proposal for an upgrade to its leadership structure, which has been approved by DAO governance voting with 96.42% in favor. The proposal points out that as the team expands and competition in the perpetual DEX space intensifies, GMX Labs' early flat, founder-driven organizational structure is no longer sustainable and needs to transition to a clearer and more accountable traditional leadership structure.The proposal announces the introduction of a CEO through a public recruitment process, with candidates drawn from DeFi, CeFi, traditional finance, and the technology industry. The goal is to complete the recruitment and onboarding by April 2026, and to complete the organizational restructuring and submit a new contributor token allocation plan aligned with performance to the DAO by June. The CEO's responsibilities include setting the strategic direction for GMX Labs, establishing a functional leadership team, strengthening partnerships, and representing GMX Labs in industry events.In terms of compensation, the CEO's base salary will be between $150,000 and $200,000 per year, paid in stablecoins; performance incentives will be denominated in GMX tokens and directly linked to the growth of protocol fees, with the current annual protocol fee baseline being approximately $60 million. A 50% increase in fees will yield partial rewards, while a 100% increase to about $120 million will yield the full base reward pool of 40,000 GMX tokens. A 125% increase to about $135 million will additionally grant 10,000 GMX as a special reward. The GMX tokens received will also be adjusted by 0.5 to 1.5 times based on the 30-day average price of GMX, with an annual token compensation cap of 75,000 GMX. Of the performance rewards, 25% will be unlocked immediately upon meeting targets, while the remaining 75% will vest linearly over 24 months, with unvested portions forfeited upon early departure.During the transition period, an interim leadership committee composed of members X, Coin, B, and Kal will be responsible for maintaining operations, advancing the existing roadmap, and leading the search for the CEO.

According to PR Newswire, NYSE American listed company Hyperscale Data announced that its Bitcoin treasury holdings have increased to 617.1605 BTC, with a total market value of approximately $40.7 million.Among them, its wholly-owned subsidiary Sentinum holds 569.967 BTC (including approximately 440.2341 BTC acquired on the open market and about 129.7329 BTC obtained from its Bitcoin mining operations, as well as approximately 47.1935 BTC purchased from the open market by another subsidiary, ACG).

According to Cointelegraph, publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies have sold over 15,000 Bitcoins since last year.The Mining Weekly newsletter from The Energy Mag pointed out that several large mining companies are the main participants in this sell-off, including Cango, which sold about 4,451 Bitcoins, approximately 60% of its holdings, in February; Bitdeer, which liquidated its entire Bitcoin inventory in January; Riot Platforms, which made multiple sales in December; and Core Scientific, which plans to sell about 2,500 Bitcoins in the first quarter.The largest listed mining company, MARA Holdings, stated in its latest regulatory filing that it may maintain flexibility and selectivity through buying and selling Bitcoins. This statement has attracted market attention, and the company's vice president clarified that the filing allows for flexible sales but does not imply that a significant portion of its holdings will be liquidated. MARA currently holds over 53,000 Bitcoins, making it the second-largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies, behind Strategy. Analysts believe that as profit margins narrow and debt pressures increase, mining companies are being forced to reassess the holding strategies that were previously widely adopted. Earlier, Bloomberg reported that the AI boom has prompted Bitcoin mining companies, with holdings exceeding $8 billion, to transform, raising concerns about market sell-offs.

After the transaction is completed, TAE's related businesses and some existing businesses and assets of Trump Media Technology Group will remain within the current publicly traded company entity.

Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi recently engaged in a public debate on social media with former co-founder Alexander Pack (now co-founder of Hack VC).Haseeb posted a reflection on his experience building the venture capital firm, stating that Dragonfly's early brand and system were not yet established, and that development and scaling only began after his arrival. In response, Alexander Pack countered that Dragonfly had already been co-founded by him and Feng Bo for over a year before Haseeb joined, and had committed to leading investments in projects such as Bybit, Amber Group, and Crusoe, with the relevant fund announcements made prior to Haseeb's employment.Haseeb then responded, claiming that some of the other party's statements were inconsistent with the facts, and clarified the specific roles and decision-making processes regarding project investments, leading to an ongoing debate between the two about the company's founding phase and investment contributions.

Brown, a major individual shareholder of the Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company Empery Digital, has released an open letter disclosing that he has formally rejected the management's privately proposed share buyback offer (he personally holds 9.8% of the company's shares), accusing the company of taking this action to ensure the stability of CEO Ryan Lane's position rather than to protect shareholder interests.At the same time, he demands that Ryan Lane resign immediately and that all Bitcoin assets be sold, with the proceeds returned to shareholders. Data shows that Empery Digital currently holds approximately 4,081 Bitcoins, valued at about $258 million.

Cryptocurrency asset public companies (DATs) are currently facing the issue of market chain risks triggered by increased selling pressure, after driving the market up last year.Data shows that since Bitcoin dropped nearly half from its peak of $126,000 in October last year, the median stock price of the 150 largest DATs has fallen by 62%, even exceeding the decline of Bitcoin. Hayden Hughes, managing partner at Tokenize Capital, analyzed that DATs, which have no operating income and rely solely on hoarding cryptocurrency assets, will be forced to sell their holdings to maintain operations. This could shake investors' confidence in their "long-term hold" narrative, potentially triggering broader market sentiment contagion.
