On July 8, in response to the controversy surrounding the UAE "Golden Visa" program, $TON Foundation CEO Max Crown clarified again that the program was not directly initiated by the UAE government, but was promoted through an authorized partner and has not been officially recognized. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) commented that the marketing of the project is misleading and key details should be clearly disclosed. He criticized the fundamental difference between "obtaining a visa with $35,000 + $100,000 pledge" and "only being able to submit an application," and also pointed out that the malicious hype of token prices is damaging the reputation of the entire industry.
