PANews reported on January 1st that, in response to the recent accusations between NEO's two founders, Da Hongfei and Zhang Zhengwen, regarding each other's monopolization of financial power and lack of transparency, Zhang Zhengwen (Erik Zhang) stated that Da Hongfei decided to use the resources and funds of the Neo Foundation (NF) to launch an independent new project, EON, and issue new tokens. Zhang Zhengwen believes this move presents a significant conflict of interest, not only diluting the value of the Neo ecosystem but also directly leading to the withdrawal of Neo mainnet resources. He has decided to return to full management of the Neo mainnet to defend the core rights of NEO/GAS holders. At the same time, Zhang Zhengwen released the current status of the accounts under his management.

  • On-chain transparent assets (NEO/GAS):

    • Protocol-level transparency: Currently, the vast majority of the Neo Foundation's NEO and GAS assets are publicly distributed across 21 initial node addresses and one multisignature wallet. These addresses are the cornerstone of the Neo protocol's operation, and the global community can conduct real-time audits at any time.

    • Asset Flow Explanation: Previously, during the period when Da Hongfei requested Erik to withdraw from the foundation's management, at Da Hongfei's request, approximately 8 million NEO/GAS tokens were transferred to multiple multi-signature addresses designated by Da Hongfei.

    • Internal Payment Standard Operating Procedure (SOP): To ensure the compliance of core asset usage, a strict four-step process has always been implemented: (1) NGD submits a budget request; (2) Da Hongfei approves the request; (3) Erik is responsible for the technical payment execution; and (4) the financial records are entered into. This process exists to ensure procedural justice for every core expenditure.

  • Opaque assets (risks associated with non-NEO/GAS assets):

    • Single-person control: Apart from the aforementioned transparent NEO/GAS, all auxiliary assets held by the Neo Foundation (including but not limited to BTC, ETH, and other ecosystem project tokens) are currently under the actual control of Da Hongfei.

    • Audit deficiencies: Zhang Zhengwen stated that these assets have remained in a "black box" state for many years, and Da Hongfei has yet to provide any verifiable financial statements, asset lists, or audit certificates.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
