According to NADA NEWS, ReYuu Japan, a company listed on Japan’s Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, announced that, following mutual consultation, it has terminated the basic agreement with Canadian investment firm Universal Digital Inc. regarding a financing framework of up to USD 100 million (approximately JPY 15 billion). The agreement was originally intended to advance external financing arrangements related to ReYuu Japan’s Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy; however, it was not a formal loan agreement, and neither the financing framework nor any actual borrowing had been finalized prior to termination. ReYuu Japan stated that the capital market environment for publicly listed companies pursuing digital asset treasury strategies has changed, with investors adopting a more cautious stance. The termination does not signify the suspension of its digital asset treasury strategy; rather, the company will continue evaluating the strategy in light of market conditions, financial soundness, and shareholder value.
Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom stated that Ethereum treasury companies are gradually deviating from the model of Strategy and Michael Saylor, focusing more on staking yields and a clean balance sheet rather than relying on complex financing structures.Chalom believes that Ethereum treasury companies can generate returns directly by holding ETH, thus eliminating the need for excessive leverage. He also indicated that only a few Ethereum treasury companies will be able to survive through market downturns.Furthermore, citing BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's previous views, he described Ethereum as a "tokenized toll road" and pointed out that the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq's push for 24-hour trading plans, DTCC's exploration of tokenized collateral, and Bullish's acquisition of Equiniti will all further drive tokenized assets into the traditional financial system.Chalom expects that as stablecoins, tokenized assets, DeFi, and AI applications continue to expand, Ethereum will gradually forge a different development path from Bitcoin in the future.

: Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that although Bitcoin rebounded after falling from around $125,000 to $60,000, the current trend remains a "repair after decline" and has not yet been confirmed as entering a new bull market cycle.He pointed out that from an on-chain data perspective, multiple key indicators have not yet entered the historical bear market bottom range. This includes the "Supply in Loss" and 90-day UTXO-related metrics, which have not yet shown a sufficient cyclical bottom structure. Meanwhile, the "LTH Realized Supply" has also not displayed the typical accumulation pattern seen at the end of a bear market, indicating that the market has not yet entered a deep reallocation phase.Additionally, spot selling pressure indicators have not shown obvious "capitulation selling", suggesting that a typical comprehensive market cleansing has not occurred during this decline. Axel Adler Jr believes that before improvements are seen simultaneously in on-chain structure, spot demand, and supply pressure, the current upward move is more likely a technical rebound rather than a trend reversal.On a macro level, he pointed out that the global risk environment remains tight. The conflict between the US and Iran has pushed Brent crude oil close to $100 per barrel, reigniting inflationary pressure. Consumer confidence and financial health indices are weakening, indicating pressure on the demand side. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields remain high, with real interest rates and inflation expectations rising concurrently, further suppressing risk asset valuations.He also mentioned that the leadership of the US Federal Reserve is about to enter a potential transition phase, but the interest rate market is no longer pricing in rapid rate cuts and has even begun to price in the probability of rate hikes. Market expectations have clearly shifted towards "higher for longer". In an environment of high oil prices, high interest rates, and uncertain monetary policy, overall financial conditions remain tight.Axel Adler Jr stated that the current market needs to wait for clearer on-chain bottom structures and signs of demand-side recovery. Until then, he maintains a cautious stance on the market outlook.
