Just my personal research and observations – not financial advice
The crypto market is moving up and down today. Bitcoin is down, Ethereum is slightly down too, and Solana is showing strength. But the real drama isn't in the prices—it's in these two stories that are running through the entire industry right now.
STORY 1: THE FOUNDER WHO LEFT CRYPTO 🤔
A well-known founder from a major crypto investment firm recently left the industry. Before leaving, he posted some interesting thoughts (which were later deleted):
"Crypto isn't as interesting as I once thought. I don't believe in the Web3 and dApps vision anymore. Blockchains are just asset ledgers—they'll reshape finance, but that's it."
Then, in his official statement, he said, "I'm still long SOL, still long crypto."
So what's the truth?
He's now exploring AI and robotics
But he remains chairman of a company holding $600M+ worth of Solana
He's also on the board of a privacy-focused crypto project
Meaning? He's not fully leaving. For him, the "Web3 dream" is over, but the "asset ledger" part of crypto still has value.
STORY 2: THE $3 BILLION FIGHT BETWEEN TWO MAJOR COMPANIES ⚔️
An old dispute between two of crypto's biggest companies has now escalated into a $3 BILLION legal battle.
What happened?
A New York regulator has filed a case against both companies
Allegations: 230,000 investors were defrauded in a lending program
Total demand: $3 billion
Current situation: Both sides are blaming each other, while customer funds remain frozen.
MARKET SNAPSHOT
Latest numbers from today :
Coin Price Status
$BITCOIN ~$68,9002.18% down
$ETH ~$1,9904.24% down Market Sentiment: Extreme Fear (12/100) People are scared
Interesting trend: AI-related tokens are moving up. Could the next phase be AI + crypto?
MY PERSONAL TAKE (Just observations)
The first story reveals something many in crypto are quietly thinking: the "Web3 dream" might not be as big as we imagined. But crypto as an "asset class" is here to stay.
The second story shows that regulators are now actively stepping in. This isn't just a company vs. company fight anymore—it's a legal battle with billions at stake.
Is crypto becoming boring? Maybe. But it's also becoming more mature.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? 🤔
Was the first founder being honest, or just bitter?
Should these two companies pay $3 billion?
Is crypto getting boring, or just growing up?
