Odaily Planet Daily News: Marc, the head of cryptocurrency donations at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, stated that the hospital received a donation equivalent to 0.5% of the total supply of ASTEROID tokens approximately two years ago. However, due to the lack of compliant exchange channels at the time, the assets remained in the on-chain wallet.
He noted that as ASTEROID's market cap rose from roughly $20,000 to over $150 million, the hospital's holdings were once valued between $500,000 and $1 million. To avoid impacting the community's liquidity, the hospital ultimately sold the holdings in 12 batches over two days, continuously monitoring liquidity throughout the process.
Marc stated that the proceeds totaled over 290 ETH, worth approximately $676,000, and the funds will be used to support the treatment and research of childhood diseases at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Odaily Odaily reports that amid the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the strain on global energy supply has further intensified. Saudi Aramco issued a strong warning during its latest earnings call, pointing out that the current scale of the shock has reached an unprecedented level.
CEO Amin Nasser stated at a meeting on Monday that if this critical waterway remains blocked, the world could see a reduction of approximately 100 million barrels of crude oil supply per week. Since the outbreak of the current conflict, the cumulative shortfall has reached about 1 billion barrels. Although some of the losses have been partially cushioned by releases from strategic petroleum reserves and alternative transport routes, Nasser emphasized: "We are facing the largest energy supply shock in global history."
The impact of this shock is extending over a longer cycle. The Strait of Hormuz normally handles about one-fifth of the world's oil and gas transport. If the timeline for its restoration continues to be delayed for several more weeks, the repair of market supply-demand dynamics could be forced back to 2027. The resulting disruption is no longer limited to short-term volatility but is placing sustained pressure on the global supply system. (Jin Shi)
Odaily reported that Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire responded to questions from analysts during tonight's earnings call.
When asked about the potential for broader distribution of the ARC token in the future, Jeremy Allaire stated: "We have completed this $222 million funding round for the ARC token pre-sale at a $3 billion FDV, and we have an obligation to eventually distribute tokens to these pre-sale participants. Our current core focus is driving the launch of the Arc mainnet (which is coming soon) and driving network utility and growth. Ultimately, as the network expands, the ARC token will play a crucial role in utility, governance, staking, and security. What we shared in the ARC token whitepaper is that 60% of the tokens are specifically allocated for ecosystem grants, airdrops, and other incentive programs, which is what Circle and the broader community hope to see over time. Obviously, there will be more opportunities in the deployment of the ARC token—especially regarding this 60% allocation—in the future."
Previously, the ARC token whitepaper showed that 60% of the tokens will be allocated to the ecosystem (token sales, developer grants, network growth); 25% will be allocated to Circle (protocol development, staking, and governance); and 15% will be allocated to a long-term reserve (strategic flexibility and economic stability).
