Odaily Planet Daily reports that Andre Cronje (AC) issued a statement on June 21st responding to his resignation from the Sonic Labs board of directors and clarifying his specific responsibilities within the Fantom and Sonic ecosystem. AC stated that his resignation from the Sonic Labs board is true, but some external reports have confused the relationship between his technical role and the project's business operations, token economics, and migration decisions. AC stated that he is not the founder of the company or the original token project, and initially participated in the project only as a technical advisor. AC further stated that he did not participate in the design, leadership, or execution of the FTM to S token migration, was not responsible for the design and management of the Sonic airdrop, and was not the decision-maker for the FTM-S token migration and the S token economic model. He also emphasized that he does not support shutting down the Ethereum ERC-20 version of FTM or stopping the Opera network. AC stated that he will no longer participate in Sonic Labs' business decisions and will focus his main efforts on the Flying Tulip project.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, stated in an article published on the X platform that, in the long run, the Ethereum Foundation's current organizational restructuring will have a positive impact on the Ethereum ecosystem. Pandl believes that, on the one hand, more development work will likely be undertaken by commercial entities in the future, thereby reducing the Foundation's direct involvement in development affairs and helping to improve the overall productivity of the ecosystem; on the other hand, the restructuring will allow the Ethereum Foundation to focus more on maintaining Ethereum's core principles as a digital currency infrastructure, ensuring its continued adherence to the "CROPS" principles required for building a sound digital currency. He stated that if the Ethereum Foundation reduces its direct involvement in ecosystem development in the future and focuses on maintaining Ethereum's long-term goals and core values, it may help further strengthen ETH's position as a decentralized digital asset infrastructure.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Japan National Commercial Enterprise Pension Fund, which has approximately 1,200 member small and medium-sized enterprises, plans to begin investing in cryptocurrencies in fiscal year 2026. It plans to allocate about 1% of its total assets under management to cryptocurrencies, investing in passive funds managed by large hedge funds that include multiple cryptocurrencies. In fiscal year 2025, the fund's asset allocation was 80% yen, 15% US dollar, and 5% other currencies. In fiscal year 2026, the yen allocation will decrease to 70%, with an additional 10% allocation to developed country currencies, and the remaining 5% consisting of emerging market currencies, gold, and cryptocurrencies.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Galaxy Research published an article on the X platform stating that Bitcoin miners have entered a "surrender phase." Galaxy Research points out that Bitcoin mining difficulty has dropped by more than 20% from its all-time high, representing the largest difficulty pullback since 2021. They believe that a significant drop in mining difficulty usually indicates that some miners are leaving the network due to profit pressures, and the market is currently in a hashrate adjustment phase.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated in an article on the X platform that in the early days of the internet in the 1990s, the market valued hundreds of companies at $500 million to $1 billion based on its imagination of the future. However, as the dot-com bubble burst, the market began to focus on companies that truly proved their value and business models. Hunter Horsley believes that those internet companies that ultimately succeeded achieved sustained growth through verifiable results, with their development cycles and scale far exceeding market expectations during the bubble period. He stated that the crypto industry is currently undergoing a similar shift. The number of projects that will stand out in the future may decrease, but the scale and sustained growth of truly valuable and capable leading projects may far exceed the expectations of most market participants.
