PANews reported on October 24th that according to AXIOS, Joe Lonsdale, a wealthy supporter of US President Trump and co-founder of Palantir, has publicly opposed yesterday's pardon of cryptocurrency billionaire Changpeng Zhao. Zhao was previously convicted of anti-money laundering violations and sentenced to four months in prison. In a post on the X platform, he stated: "I support President Trump. This administration could have been the most outstanding I have ever seen—if it weren't for these pardons. Judged by objective standards, these pardons are completely unjustified. The President has been seriously misled about this matter, and it creates the impression that a major financial fraud is flourishing around him." This criticism, coming from within Trump's political allies, highlights potential doubts about the Trump family's business practices in the cryptocurrency sector.PANews reported on October 24th that according to AXIOS, Joe Lonsdale, a wealthy supporter of US President Trump and co-founder of Palantir, has publicly opposed yesterday's pardon of cryptocurrency billionaire Changpeng Zhao.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…

Ultra Ethereum Whale With $2,890,000,000 Just Made Deposit

Ultra Ethereum Whale With $2,890,000,000 Just Made Deposit

The post Ultra Ethereum Whale With $2,890,000,000 Just Made Deposit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Deposit to Aave Bitcoiners are not missing the memo The Ethereum ecosystem recently saw one of its biggest whale transactions in weeks, when an Ethereum OG with an incredible 736,316 ETH, or about $2.89 billion, deposited a whopping $500 million USDT into newly opened vaults by ConcreteXYZ and Stable.  Deposit to Aave The whale initially deposited 300,000 ETH into Aave, one of the biggest decentralized lending protocols, in order to borrow $500 million USDT, according to on-chain data. One entity supplied the majority of the initial liquidity, as this massive transaction represents 64.5% of the $775 million USDT that has been locked into the vaults thus far. Since the vault’s initial stability now mainly depends on one player’s continuous participation, such dominance creates both excitement and concerns about concentration risk. The continued collaboration between established Ethereum whales and new DeFi infrastructure is demonstrated by this event. ETH/USDT Chart by TradingView Additionally, it portends a possible resurgence of whale-level ecosystem activity, which the Ethereum network has been lacking during the market’s recent lull. Other whales and institutions might be persuaded to return to DeFi lending procedures if the action inspires confidence. Bitcoiners are not missing the memo Almost at the same time, another on-chain anomaly surfaced, adding to the intrigue: 18eY9o, a Bitcoin miner wallet that had been inactive for more than 14 years, suddenly became active. After mining 4,000 Bitcoin (now valued at approximately $442 million) in 2009, the wallet moved 150 Bitcoin (about $16.6 million) to an external address. The money, which had been mined in the early days of Bitcoin, was combined into the wallet in 2011 and has not been touched since. A billion-dollar Ethereum whale move, and the reactivation of a Bitcoin miner wallet from before 2010, both point to a possible change in attitude among…
