$198M Crypto Mirage? SEC Targets AI Trading Kingpin in Global Ponzi Uprising

Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, predicts that Ethereum&#8217;s price 
will surge to $5,000 in the next few months. His prediction is made as 
Ethereum gears up to celebrate its 10th anniversary in July 2025. Related

Price Prediction Sets Community Afloat The daring forecast has made waves in 
cryptocurrency communities, particularly because Ethereum is currently priced 
under $2,000. Based on figures by Coingecko, the second-largest cryptocurrency 
is valued at around $1,789. Sun posted his opinion on X (formerly Twitter), 
observing a personal connection to the launch date of Ethereum. His birthday 
is July 30, the same day Ethereum launched in 2015. The founder of Tron 
leveraged this moment to collaborate with the Ethereum Foundation in 
advertising the upcoming birthday celebrations. His $5,000 price target is 
almost a 200% hike from levels now. Ethereum shares the same birthday as 
me—this date is truly meaningful. I suggest a 10x increase—let’s commemorate 
it together at $5,000! https://t.co/o8Ci30xbhH — H.E. Justin Sun 🍌 
(@justinsuntron) April 24, 2025 Foundation Plans Global Birthday Events 
According to reports by the Ethereum Foundation, the 10-year anniversary will 
have global birthday parties of all sizes. Organizations and individuals can 
plan local events to participate in the celebration. To assist in making these 
events occur, the Foundation&#8217;s Ecosystem Support Program will reimburse up to 
$500 in costs per event. Applicants must apply by June 15, 2025. The 
Foundation hopes to establish a &#8220;global holiday&#8221; environment around the 
anniversary, with community involvement from various countries and regions. 
Sun&#8217;s Four-Step Plan For Ethereum Growth Sun didn&#8217;t leave it there at 
projections &#8211; he mapped out a concrete plan he is convinced would get Ethereum 
to the $5,000 level in no time: 1. The Ethereum Foundation should refrain from 
selling ETH for a minimum of three years to curb supply and promote holding. 
2. Instead of token sales, the Foundation might employ lending and staking 
platforms such as AAVE to finance operations. 3. The Foundation must 
rationalize its team, retaining only the best developers and compensating them 
at better rates to enhance output quality. 4. Development should be aimed at 
enhancing the core Layer 1 network instead of diluting resources over so many 
side projects. Image: Cryptonary Ethereum Faces Challenges Despite Success 
Even though it hosts thousands of decentralized applications and popularized 
smart contracts globally, Ethereum is still struggling with various issues. It 
is commonly complained about by users, including exorbitant gas charges, 
sluggish transaction speeds, and poor scalability. Related Reading: XRP Price 
Prognosis: Analyst Sees $14 In Spite Of Current Troubles Meanwhile, an upgrade 
dubbed &#8220;Pectra&#8221; is set to happen in May 2025 that may solve some of these 
problems. The upgrade is said to reduce transaction fees and enhance contract 
enforcement throughout the network. Sun&#8217;s support for Ethereum stands out 
because he leads Tron, often viewed as a competing blockchain. Despite this 
apparent rivalry, he maintains ETH holdings and regularly praises Ethereum&#8217;s 
progress. The market&#8217;s response to Sun&#8217;s optimistic outlook remains to be 
seen, as Ethereum would need significant momentum to reach the predicted 
$5,000 level from its current price point. Featured image from Ethereum

Strike CEO Jack Mallers said his new role as CEO of Bitcoin treasury firm 
Twenty One Capital won&#8217;t distract him from heading Strike, revealing the 
platform processed over $6 billion in volume in 2024.
&#8220;This is not a shift in my commitment; it&#8217;s an extension of it,&#8221; Mallers said 
in an April 25 letter to Strike investors.
## Bitcoin investors and humanity wins
&#8220;If Bitcoin wins, humanity wins. Every business decision I make starts with 
one question: Is this good for Bitcoin? Twenty One exists because I believe it 
is good for Bitcoin and, therefore, good for the world,&#8221; Mallers said.
Mallers explained that Strike, a Bitcoin payments platform, and Twenty One 
Capital have different goals. He said Strike focuses on making &#8220;Bitcoin 
accessible globally,&#8221; while Twenty One aims to increase &#8220;Bitcoin ownership per 
share (BPS) and pioneer Bitcoin-native financial tools.&#8221;
&#8220;These are separate companies, but they share the same ethos: Bitcoin wins, we 
win,&#8221; he said.

It comes after Twenty One Capital announced its launch on April 23, with the 
backing of Tether, SoftBank and Cantor Fitzgerald.
The firm is looking to challenge Michael Saylor&#8217;s Strategy to become the 
&#8220;superior vehicle for investors seeking capital-efficient Bitcoin exposure.&#8221; 
It revealed its plans to launch with 42,000 Bitcoin (BTC).

Mallers shared key metrics for Strike publicly for the first time, revealing 
that in 2024, the firm posted over $6 billion in volume, recorded 600% year- 
on-year growth, maintained an 85% gross profit margin, and reported zero 
customer acquisition costs.
Mallers said that despite maintaining a team of 75 employees, the company 
expects to &#8220;generate 8-9 figures in net profit in 2025.&#8221;
Several crypto enthusiasts had taken to social media to ask how the logistics 
would work for Mallers, being the CEO of Strike and Twenty One Capital.

Crypto commentator &#8220;Alex&#8221; asked in an April 25 X post, &#8220;What will be the fate 
of Strike? New incoming CEO? Or will he pull an Elon Musk?&#8221; Similarly, Domingo 
Guerra asked, &#8220;Who will be running Strike!?&#8221;
Meanwhile, several crypto industry participants have publicly speculated that 
Twenty One Capital may acquire Strike in the future. Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory 
Klippsten said it is &#8220;probably safe to assume that this company will acquire 
strike.&#8221;
Daniel Sempere Pico said, &#8220;How long before Twenty One acquires Strike?&#8221; 
However, neither Mallers or Strike has indicated any intention of doing so.
