Former Coinbase CTO predicts STOs will be more viable than IPOs or M&As for small firms Balaji Srinivasan, the former chief technology officer (CTO) of crypto exchange Coinbase, recently suggested on X that using a securities token offering (STO) could be easier for small firms to raise funds than traditional methods like initial public offerings (IPOs) or mergers and acquisitions (M&As) under the Trump administration. He pointed out that the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has made it burdensome for smaller companies to go public. Furthermore, he noted that under Lina Khan's leadership at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), there has been a shift toward blocking major M&As to prevent large companies from overpowering smaller ones—a policy stance Srinivasan opposes but notes the Trump administration has also adopted. With the current U.S. administration being more receptive to cryptocurrency, Srinivasan argues that STOs present a viable alternative for fundraising. Unlike other methods, STOs allow global investors to back U.S.-based startups through cryptocurrencies, without taking ownership stakes, thus enabling these smaller companies to remain independent for a longer period, he said.

Software intelligence firm Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), now rebranded as Strategy, announced on Feb. 18 that it intends to offer $2 billion in convertible senior notes due 2030 in a private offering. The offering, subject to market conditions, will be made to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The company explained: Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital. These 0% interest-bearing notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Strategy and will mature on March 1, 2030, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted earlier. Investors will have the option to convert the notes into cash, shares of Strategy’s class A common stock, or a combination of both, at Strategy’s discretion. Additionally, the company has granted an option to initial purchasers to buy up to an additional $300 million in notes. Strategy reserves the right to redeem the notes for cash, in whole or in part, on or after March 5, 2027, but only if its stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period. Furthermore, noteholders may require Strategy to repurchase the notes in the event of a fundamental corporate change or on March 1, 2028. Microstrategy’s move aligns with its long-term vision as the world’s largest bitcoin treasury company, continuing its strategy of using equity and debt financing to accumulate bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. While maintaining its leadership in AI-powered enterprise analytics, the company believes this approach offers investors diversified exposure to bitcoin through various financial instruments. As of Feb. 17, the company hodls 478,740 BTC acquired for $31.1 billion at $65,033 per bitcoin. Co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor remains a vocal advocate for bitcoin, projecting that its price could reach $13 million by 2045. His estimates range from a bullish case of $49 million to a bearish scenario of $3 million, reinforcing his view of bitcoin as the ultimate digital asset for long-term value creation. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Chanpeng Zhao has left a cryptic post on X about PancakeSwap. A crypto user spotted a pattern in Changpeng Zhao’s behavior toward PancakeSwap. CAKE surged 151% in the last 10 days. Binance co-founder Chanpeng Zhao has left a cryptic post on his X account, triggering curiosity among a section of the crypto community. Zhao’s message was his reply to a post by a crypto user on the social media site, who noticed a pattern in the former Binance CEO’s actions. I wonder what the next 4 years will be like. — CZ BNB (@cz_binance) February 17, 2025 According to the user, Zhao has started a cryptic 4-year-patterned signal for PancakeSwap, one of the top decentralized exchanges (DEX) on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The user noted that four years ago, on February 17, 2021, the then-Binance CEO liked CAKE, the native crypto of PancakeSwap, and after that, the product saw significant adoption. Suggesting a deliberate act, the user spotted Zhao doing the same thing again: liking CAKE today, exactly four years after his first action. Zhao responded to the post with a wink emoji then added, “I wonder what the next four years will be like.” Related: Panc… The post Changpeng Zhao (CZ) Leaves a Cryptic Message About PancakeSwap (CAKE) appeared first on Coin Edition.

Solana (SOL) has seen its price decline to levels last seen in November 2024, hitting a low of $161.66 amid a wider crypto crash that has seen Bitcoin (BTC) drop to $94,078.68 and Ethereum (ETH) drop to $2,612. With Solana reeling from the aftermath of the LIBRA memecoin crash which was launched on the blockchain and the upcoming token unlock, SOL could see a further decline towards $150. The impact of the LIBRA memecoin crash The Solana ecosystem has been rocked by the LIBRA meme coin rug pull that saw traders lose around $286 million. The LIBRA scandal dealt a significant blow to investor confidence after the meme coin surged following a public endorsement by Argentina’s President Javier Milei. However, the rally was short-lived, as LIBRA plummeted by over 94% within hours. Milei has since denied any wrongdoing. The events that followed the launch of LIBRA revealed a classic rug-pull scenario where liquidity was removed, leaving investors with nearly worthless tokens. This debacle has not only led to substantial financial losses but has also damaged investor trust in Solana’s ecosystem, as the fallout has sucked liquidity out of the market, possibly contributing to the current price decline. Looming threat: FTX Estate’s SOL unlock Adding to Solana’s woes is the looming unlock of $2.2 billion worth of SOL tokens by FTX’s estate scheduled for March 1. The token unlock event is expected to increase the supply of SOL in circulation, potentially leading to further price drops if these tokens are sold off by investors or entities that acquired them during FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings. The anticipation of this unlock has already started influencing market behaviour, with many investors seemingly preempting the event by selling off their holdings. Bears firmly in control From a technical standpoint, Solana has been tracing a well-defined descending channel, indicative of a bearish trend in the short to medium term. The price action has formed a five-wave Elliott Wave structure, with the fourth wave hitting support at $150, which aligns with a key Fibonacci extension level. Nevertheless, there is a notable bullish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggesting that the selling pressure might be weakening, which could preclude a reversal. However, for a confirmed upward movement, SOL needs to break above the descending trendline resistance of around $173. If it fails to do so, there’s a risk that SOL could revisit or even breach the $150 level, a psychological and technical support that could either halt the fall or signal further declines. Solana price predictions: key levels to watch With the current market conditions, Solana’s price predictions are cautiously bearish in the short term. If Solana manages to hold above $161.86, there might be a chance for recovery, potentially targeting $180 in a nascent bullish phase. However, if the support at $161.86 gives way, the next significant level to watch could be $150, which could act as critical support or, if breached, lead to an even more pronounced correction. Investors should also keep an eye on resistance levels at $173, $195.81, and $216.90, where Fibonacci retracement levels suggest potential barriers to any upward movement. If Solana (SOL) can maintain or regain investor confidence after the LIBRA incident and navigate through the upcoming token unlock with minimal sell-off pressure, there might be a path for recovery. However, the current narrative paints a picture of significant risk, with the potential for SOL to dip further into the $150 range if bearish trends continue unchecked.
