Sonic Labs has issued a statement regarding recent public comments about Andre Cronje and the Sonic network. In 2018, a Korean team initiated an ICO for Fantom (now renamed Sonic), which failed to deliver a fully functional product due to mismanagement, resulting in the depletion of a significant amount of funds. Andre Cronje joined in June 2018 and rebooted Fantom. At the time Andre joined, the treasury held less than $5 million in non-FTM assets, which grew to nine figures between 2020 and 2021.Sonic Labs further stated that Andre did not design the original Fantom token economic model; the model was created by the original Korean team in 2018 and later modified through on-chain governance. Andre does not unilaterally hold or control the Sonic development fund. Andre has never abandoned Fantom/Sonic, designed the original technology, expanded the funding, and continues to serve as a technical advisor, regularly providing guidance to the technical team. There is no instance of fund misappropriation.

Huobi HTX has released a statement regarding the unilateral asset transfer by the Flow (FLOW) project team.Huobi HTX stated that on December 27, 2025, a protocol layer vulnerability in the Flow network led to a large amount of FLOW being illegally minted. After the incident, the platform proactively verified the situation with the project team to confirm whether there were any anomalies, and actively cooperated with risk management and on-chain tracking efforts. At the same time, the risk control and monitoring systems continuously tracked suspicious fund flows and took restrictive measures on identifiable hacker-related assets, making every effort to prevent further inflow into the market and protect the overall interests of token holders.However, the Flow project team unilaterally initiated the "Isolated Recovery" plan without fully communicating with the exchange and users, forcibly transferring FLOW assets from centralized exchange addresses, including Huobi HTX, through protocol layer permissions, and plans to destroy them on January 30, 2026.Huobi HTX emphasizes that the forcibly transferred and intended-to-be-destroyed assets include a large amount of FLOW obtained by ordinary users through legitimate market transactions. The actions of the Flow project team seriously deviate from the principles of decentralization and clear property rights, setting a bad precedent for the security boundaries of industry assets, and severely damaging the legitimate asset rights and interests of the platform and its users. Huobi HTX calls on the Flow project team to adhere to the spirit of decentralization, respect the legitimate rights and interests of users and exchanges, clearly distinguish between illegal minting and legal holdings, publish a complete and auditable post-event analysis, and resolve outstanding issues through active negotiation rather than unilateral technical means.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin10, U.S. President Trump stated that he intends to send a letter to trade partners setting unilateral tariff rates within the next one to two weeks before the July 9 deadline for tariff suspension arrives. Trump told reporters, "At a certain point, we will send a letter. I think you all understand, this is the agreement, you can accept it or not."It is currently unclear whether Trump will follow through on his promise, as he often sets two-week deadlines for action but ultimately delays or takes no action at all. When asked if he would extend the deadline for countries to reach agreements with the U.S. government, Trump expressed an open attitude but added, "I don't think we have that necessity."

ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Yuyuan Tan cited by Jinshi, since the China-U.S. Geneva economic and trade talks, both sides have maintained communication on their respective concerns in the economic and trade fields through various bilateral occasions and at multiple levels. China's "sincerity" and "principles" in the consultations are also related to this.The so-called "sincerity" refers to the fact that on non-principled issues, China will respect the concerns of the U.S. and can strive for a win-win outcome through the consultation mechanism, especially in technical consultations, where China has flexible space.As for "principles," it has at least two meanings—facing the unilateral tariffs from the U.S., China still has countermeasures. In response to the coercion or threats during negotiations from the U.S., China firmly opposes and advises the U.S. to abandon such tactics.
