On March 3, following the release of the Neo Foundation’s 2025 fiscal year financial report, co-founders Erik Zhang and Da Hongfei again expressed conflicting views. Da Hongfei stated, “Over the past 12 years, we’ve navigated market cycles, structural shifts, and regulatory changes while evolving continuously. The report clearly outlines our current standing and future direction. Moving forward, clarity and execution will be key to breakthroughs.” Zhang raised doubts about the report, saying, “I only see Neo asset addresses disclosed by contributor Ricardo Prado—no addresses for non-Neo assets were shared. The individual line items in the financial statements cannot be verified. Moreover, it must be emphasized that the size of non-nominal-digit assets held by the Neo Foundation is highly abnormal. Why did the ultimate revenue from the Foundation’s external investments flow to the private firm NGD? This is blatant embezzlement of public funds.” For more details, refer to BlockB

March 3: Per OnchainLens data, the whale wallet "pension-usdt.eth" opened a 3x leveraged long position worth ~$67.57 million using 1,000 BTC, entering at $67,522.3. Across its two addresses, the whale has already racked up over $27.28 million in total profits prior to this latest trade.

On March 3, per monitoring from HyperInsight, crypto whale “Big Brother Whale” Huang Licheng has just added a 25x-leveraged long position in Ethereum with a notional value of $3.2 million, at an average entry price of $2,024.42. His account now has only $110,000 remaining. Since last September—when Ethereum traded at $4,700—he has consistently held long positions. Additional capital for his positions since late February has come from assets he deposited into the PleasrDAO treasury five years ago, which may signal his available liquidity is drying up. Over the past six months, the whale has accumulated total losses of $74 million.
