Odaily星球日报讯 Aave Labs 已向代币持有人发起一项 Temp Check 提案，申请价值约 5000 万美元的资金，以换取将所有 Aave 品牌产品的收入拨入 Aave DAO 国库。该方案包括最高 4250 万美元的稳定币（2500 万美元基础 Grant 及 1750 万美元里程碑奖励）和 75,000 枚 AAVE 代币（约合 800 万美元）。作为回报，Aave Labs 将把包括 aave.com、计划中的 Aave Card 及 Aave Pro 在内的所有产品收入 100% 分配至 DAO。

该提案引发了社区对投票权集中的担忧。Aave Chan Initiative 创始人 Marc Zeller 指出，该资金包占据了 DAO 国库的显著比例，并质疑 75,000 枚 AAVE 代币 Grant 可能导致投票权过度集中，呼吁将提案拆分并要求接收方披露持仓地址。Aave 创始人 Stani Kulechov 表示，此举将使 DAO 转向“以代币为中心”的模型，提升其资助增长和执行回购的能力。目前该提案处于意见征集阶段。(Cointelegraph)

Odaily News Following the recent incident where Bithumb mistakenly issued 62 trillion won (approximately 620,000) worth of Bitcoin, multiple internet banks in South Korea have adopted an extremely cautious stance regarding the renewal of real-name accounts with cryptocurrency exchanges. Financial institutions such as KakaoBank (partnered with Coinone) and K-Bank (partnered with Upbit) are closely monitoring the situation, concerned that internal control risks from exchanges could spill over to the banking side, damaging their financial reputation.

Odaily News Yzi Labs investment partner Alex Odagiu recently sent a letter to the board of directors of CEA Industries, accusing them of being extremely reckless in postponing the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which could lead to the company facing the risk of delisting from Nasdaq. The letter points out that it has been over 400 days since the last shareholders' meeting (December 17, 2024). The board attempted to exploit a loophole in the rules by changing the fiscal year-end to April 30 through an "accounting maneuver," trying to extend the interval between meetings to 16 months.

Alex Odagiu stated that the board's action was to avoid voting and that last December, they used the excuse of a "skiing vacation" to conceal their actions of hindering shareholder democracy by passing a "poison pill" plan and amending the bylaws. The letter emphasizes that although the board attempted to comply technically, its malicious manipulation could trigger Nasdaq's discretionary authority to delist. Yzi Labs demands that the board immediately announce the date for the 2025 Annual General Meeting and cease damaging the company's listing status to retain their positions.

Odaily News Binance Research posted on platform X, stating that the 50% decline from the October 2025 all-time high represents a moderate correction compared to previous cycles, reflecting reduced volatility as the market matures.

Odaily reported that Greeks.live posted on X platform, stating that 38,000 BTC options have been settled with a Put-Call Ratio of 0.71, a max pain point of $74,000, and a notional value of $2.5 billion. 215,000 ETH options have been settled with a Put-Call Ratio of 0.82, a max pain point of $2,100, and a notional value of $410 million.

This week, the implied volatility (IV) for Bitcoin and Ethereum has decreased, with BTC's major-term IV falling to 50% and ETH's to 70%. Although the pace of the price decline has slowed, market confidence remains weak.

In terms of trading activity, put options are dominant. After yesterday's market decline, some bottom-fishing behavior has begun to emerge. Key option indicators show that Skew is rebounding, and the proportion of call options in block trades is increasing.

The market remains in a bearish phase, but the most intense stage of the decline has ended. The current crypto market lacks incremental capital, making it premature to discuss a bull market or a significant rebound.

For investors, the focus of discussion has shifted from 'whether the trend has reversed' to 'when the next more attractive allocation window will arrive.'

From late 2024 to around the stage high in October 2025, Bitcoin repeatedly exhibited characteristics indicating the fifth bull market cycle was nearing its end, showing a gradual weakening of bullish momentum; as the price fell below the aforementioned key level, this judgment was confirmed, and the market has entered the confirmed bear market phase."
