John, the chief contributor of the blockchain game ecosystem Treasure DAO, announced that due to the deterioration of financial conditions and the reorganization, the game operation and Treasure Chain will be terminated. The document shows that its annual operating expenses are as high as 8.3 million US dollars, and the current treasury has only 2.4 million US dollars, which was originally expected to last only until July 2025. Faced with the pressure of survival, DAO has laid off 15 people and decided to terminate the game distribution support and Treasure Chain, and assist partners to migrate to other chains. In order to extend the capital runway, John proposed to withdraw the idle 785,000 US dollars from the market maker Flowdesk. If approved, the stablecoin balance will increase to 3.2 million US dollars, and the operation can be optimistically extended to February 2026. In addition, the ecological fund holds 22.3 million MAGIC (worth 2.3 million US dollars), but if the price of MAGIC plummets, DAO may be unsustainable between December this year and February next year.

Standard Chartered Bank has begun covering the Layer 1 blockchain Avalanche and said it expects the network's native token AVAX to rise more than 10 times from its current price of about $20 to $250 by the end of 2029. Geoffrey Kendrick, the bank's global head of digital asset research, said in a latest report: "One positive aspect of the tariff storm is that it gives us an opportunity to recalibrate and pick the winners of the next round of digital asset price increases. I think Avalanche will be another winner, perhaps a winner in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain." Kendrick specifically pointed out the advantages of Avalanche's expansion plan, especially the Etna upgrade (codenamed Avalanche9000) completed in December 2024. The upgrade enables developers to create subnets or Layer 1 blockchains on Avalanche at almost zero cost-originally required to stake $450,000 worth of AVAX tokens, but now the technical threshold and capital requirements have been greatly reduced. Data shows that after the upgrade, Etna-compatible subnets have accounted for 25% of the total active subnets, and the number of developers has surged by 40%.
