Sources familiar with the situation ： 1. Aethir currently pays its employees with $ATH , but has suspended salary payments starting this month, and HR is completely ignoring the issue. 2. The entire Web3 team of Aethir has been largely laid off, leaving only a few people related to Web2 business. 3. James Luo(Weiyu) stays deep in the shadows, orchestrating everything from behind the scenes. He’s never appeared in Aethir employee meetings or team building. 4. @MRRydon and Daniel Wang who has disappeared, are the people who communicated with Aethir  team members on a daily basis. 5. Daniel Wang's assistant, Sima, has also disappeared. 6. Investors who have suffered losses are advised to file a lawsuit or a joint lawsuit in your local area as soon as possible.  @hosseeb  @MessariCrypto  @CryptoHayes  @wacy_time1 @lookonchain @Coincuofficial  @DamiDefi  @cryptorand  @hmalviya9

$AEHR Some may be wondering what's wrong with Aehr Test Systems. This is just sector / rotational movement. I've been saying for a while the stock has gotten ahead of itself (and my $70 price target for the EoY), so I can't really complain here. But this is also why I take profits on runners like this. I had $95 and $75 CC contracts called away on Friday. I didn't roll them out. I'll re-write these as cash-secured puts if we break under $70 (or higher if meaningful news comes out of a new contract - likely by the end of the month). Don't take profits too aggressively, but also don't fail to take profits, and if you struggle with taking profits, covered calls can be a good vehicle to do so. I still hold a bit more than 35% of my original position.

One of  Aethir controllers , James Luo( Luo Weiyu, Picture 1) , intends to use IVC and Daniel Wang as scapegoats.  After all, IVC is the core and dominant investor of Aethir, without exception.  As the sole initiating investor in Aethir, IVC has been continuously selling $ATH tokens and now seeks to completely sever ties with Aethir.  Daniel Wang（Picture2), as IVC's representative and CEO of Aethir, holds over 3% of the total  $ATH tokens and is currently feigning disappearance.  To date, Luo Weiyu has essentially disbanded the entire Aethir team, reducing it from a peak of over 200 employees to only 20-30.  Regarding the US-listed company DAT, AGPU,established by Luo Weiyu and ATH, it serves purely as a front, solely for facilitating the sale of $ATH  — nothing more.  CP had long warned that a major player was planning to exploit investors through DAT. From the early warning that Luo Weiyu and Aethir would release DAT benefits as a prelude to their scheme to fleece investors, to the current situation where it is essentially an open secret that they have absconded with funds.  Therefore, CP will reveal substantial inside information about Aethir from multiple aspects, including its internal structure, initiating investors, and the DAT company. @AethirCloud @AethirEco @AethirEdge @MRRydon  @paulthind @JoeDataCap @DanielAethir  @0xNicky @princecryptow3 @Jochem_In_Space @Arp_it1 @0xngmi @functi0nZer0 @zachxbt @tier10k @CryptoCred @RookieXBT @Tradermayne @dubzyxbt @abetrade @icebagz_ @CryptoLady_M  @only1mrwhite  @crypticworld7 @brian_armstrong @CryptoHayes @CoinDesk @Cointelegraph @CoinMarketCap @TheBlockCo @Blockworks @ForbesCrypto @PeckShieldAlert  @BitcoinNews @binance @coinbase @upbitglobal @okx @krakenfx @bitfinex #aethir# #ath# #JamesLuo# #DanielWang#

Royals DeFi Investigation - @AerodromeFi / $AERO in 2026 - The Protocol That's Printing Cash Flow Regardless If you caught my video on Aerodrome earlier this year, where I spoke about some core fundamentals like liquidity providing on the platform, I want to take it a step further today & keep it very similar to my recent @pendle_fi recap, as this is also an analysis of what actually happened in Q1 and Q2 2026 for the leading DEX on Base. The year started weak on paper. Q1 2026 came in at around $18.3M in protocol revenue, down 46% from $34.5M in Q4 2025 & Q2 followed with ~$16.1M, a further 12% decline quarter over quarter. While that looks significant, it definitely reflects broader market conditions rather than structural weakness within the protocol. TVL followed a similar trend, sitting around $345M in Q1 and declining to roughly $310M in Q2, but besides that, activity remained strong, with monthly volumes consistently above $9B showing that underlying demand for liquidity on Base held up most of the time. On the token side of things, AERO is currently trading around $0.51 with a market cap of $484M, but price action across Q1 and Q2 saw two notable drawdowns. The first occurred at the start of the year, the second in early June, where AERO dropped from around ~$0.45 to ~$0.30. Both moves looked very similar & were followed by relatively fast recoveries, with the token pushing back toward $0.50, which is roughly where it trades now. Structurally, Aerodrome’s position has not weakened, more the opposite, as it continues to dominate Base DEX liquidity in a way comparable to how durable Uniswap controlled Ethereum mainnet in earlier cycles. What is changing, are slowly the tokenomics & as well the expansion of the system is an ongoing priority. Especially the @VelodromeFi merge, which was announced in late 2025, seems to be part of this upcoming change. For now the legacy ve33 model remains fully active for now, with AERO locking for veAERO, weekly gauge voting, emissions distributed accordingly, with fee accrual and bribes continuing to flow to veAERO holders, but the already announced switch to sAERO, in relation to the merge with Velodrome, could very likely be implemented this month, so definitely something to look forward to & be excited about. On top of that, more than 190M AERO, which is more than 20% of the circulating supply, has already been bought back and locked through programs funded by protocol revenue such as the Public Goods Fund, Flight School, and Relay, which introduces not only a strong narrative for potential future investors, but as well establishes consistent mechanisms that remove supply directly from the market. The result is a shift away from purely emission driven tokenomics toward supply reduction backed by real cash flow, a narrative which @HyperliquidX definitely made big in the last months. Looking ahead to Q3 and Q4, there are some things which could push the needle much further for Aerodrome, as the mainnet expansion, which will test cross chain liquidity at scale, particularly with MEV internalization live and also very much the upcoming expansions to Circle’s Arc environment puts Aerodrome again into direct competition with Uniswap, that’s why I am personally excited to see how this will play out for them. But as mentioned, most importantly is the adoption of sAERO imo, which will determine whether the token fully transitions into a more active instrument or if the veAERO will be more sustainable in the end. As a frequent user of the Base chain, it is even more exciting to see, Aerodrome expanding beyond base & positioning itself as a unified liquidity layer across major chains, with clear mechanisms to capture and retain value at the token level. What do you think & are you bullish on $AERO further going into the future? Aerodrome.
