SonicStrategy Expands Sonic Holdings to 6M Tokens and Launches Institutional Validator
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / Spetz Inc. (dba SonicStrategy) (CSE:SPTZ)(OTC:DBKSF) is pleased to report continued progress in its digital asset accumulation and infrastructure rollout strategy. During the past week, the Company acquired an additional ∼2.0 million S tokens (the native token of the Sonic ecosystem), bringing its total Sonic holdings to just over 6 million tokens. These tokens were purchased on the open market, reinforcing the Company's strong conviction in Sonic as one of the most compelling Layer 1 ecosystems in blockchain today. In parallel, the Company has also purchased 3.7 BTC to be held as part of the long term corporate treasury strategy. The approximate total cost of these acquisitions was $1.5 million CAD. 'We continue to see compelling long-term value in Sonic and are building a strategic position to match that conviction,' said Mitchell Demeter, CEO and Director of Spetz. 'Accumulating over 6 million tokens at this early stage gives us a powerful foundation as the network scales. We are fully focused on building SonicStrategy into a leading institutional platform for validator operations, token accumulation, and DeFi participation.' SonicStrategy is also pleased to announce the official launch of its first institutional-grade validator on the Sonic blockchain. The validator is now publicly listed as Validator #45 - 'SonicStrategy | CSE: SPTZ | OTC: DBKSF' and can be viewed here. Validators are essential infrastructure on proof-of-stake blockchains like Sonic. They help process transactions, secure the network, and maintain consensus by verifying new blocks of data. In return, validators earn yield (rewards), making them a foundational piece of blockchain scalability and integrity. 'Launching our validator infrastructure is a significant milestone,' added Demeter. 'Not only does it generate stable yield on our own assets, but it also opens the door to scalable recurring revenue as we onboard other Sonic token holders to our validator.' The Company has staked a portion of its own tokens to the validator and is currently earning a 4.62% yield on this staked capital. In addition, SonicStrategy will be collaborating with other large ecosystem partners to grow the total delegation base to its validator, where the Company will earn 15% of the yield generated by third-party delegations. The Company also plans to begin deploying capital into DeFi strategies within the Sonic ecosystem in the coming days, which is expected to increase the blended yield across its digital asset portfolio to approximately 20%. The Company is working toward closing the second tranche of its $10 million financing, targeting a close date of June 18, 2025. The round is being conducted at a price of $0.50 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.75. About Spetz Inc. (dba SonicStrategy) Spetz Inc. (dba SonicStrategy) (CSE:SPTZ)(OTC PINK:DBKSF) is the parent company of SonicStrategy Inc., a public-market gateway to the Sonic blockchain ecosystem. Spetz provides investors with compliant exposure to staking infrastructure and DeFi strategies across the Sonic network.

Most G7 members ready to lower Russian oil price cap without US
By Julia Payne and John Irish BRUSSELS/PARIS (Reuters) -Most countries in the Group of Seven nations are prepared to go it alone and lower the G7 price cap on Russian oil even if U.S. President Donald Trump decides to opt out, four sources familiar with the matter said. G7 country leaders are due to meet on June 15-17 in Canada where they will discuss the price cap first agreed in late 2022. The cap was designed to allow Russian oil to be sold to third countries using Western insurance services provided the price was no more than $60 a barrel. The European Union and Britain have been pushing to lower the price for weeks after a fall in global oil prices made the current $60 cap nearly irrelevant. The sources, who declined to be named, said the EU and Britain are ready to lead the charge and go it alone, backed by the other European G7 countries and Canada. They said it is still unclear what the U.S. will decide, though the Europeans are pushing for a united decision at the meeting. Japan's position also remains uncertain, they said. "There is a push among European countries to reduce the oil price cap to $45 from $60. There are positive signals from Canada, Britain and possibly the Japanese. We will use the G7 to try to get the U.S. on board," one of the sources said. The White House had no immediate comment. During the G7 finance ministers meeting in the Canadian Rockies last month, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remained unconvinced there was a need to lower the cap, according to sources. However some U.S. Senators may endorse the idea, including Lindsay Graham, who in recent weeks told reporters he supports lowering the cap. Graham is pushing a hard-hitting new set of Russia sanctions that could impose steep tariffs on buyers of Russian oil. The Canadian foreign ministry was not immediately available for comment. The EU has proposed lowering the price to $45 a barrel in its latest 18th package of sanctions. The package must have unanimity from member states in order for it to be adopted, which could take several weeks. Russia's largest export grade, Urals, trades at around a $10 a barrel discount to the Dated Brent benchmark out of Baltic ports. Brent futures have been trading below $70 a barrel since early April. Sources said Washington's buy-in was not essential to lower the cap owing to Britain's dominance in global shipping insurance, and the EU's influence on the Western rules-abiding tanker fleet. The U.S., however, does matter when it comes to dollar-denominated payments for oil and its banking system. The EU and its Western allies have been progressively cracking down on Russia's shadow fleet of tankers and related actors, which work to circumvent the cap. The pressure has started to hurt Moscow's revenues and Western allies hope this will push more of the oil trade back under the cap. Russia's state-owned oil producer Rosneft reported a 14.4% slump in profits last year.

Chinese automotive price war could affect European markets: Indicata
The ongoing price war in China's electric vehicle (EV) market could impact European new and used car markets, according to Indicata, a unit of Autorola Group. As Chinese automakers cut prices by up to 34% and EV discounts average 17%, ripple effects could affect car values across Europe and the UK. The Chinese market is experiencing intense competition with more than 100 EV brands and is projected to exceed 33 million vehicles by 2025. Indicata global business unit director Andy Shields said: 'Chinese OEMs are facing massive oversupply and intense competition in their domestic market.' BYD recently announced price cuts across 25 models due to excess inventory, compressing vehicle margins industry-wide. Indicata's analysis also highlights significant barriers for Chinese manufacturers in other markets. The US market remains largely inaccessible due to high tariffs. Other global markets outside Europe could absorb internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) but lack the infrastructure for battery-electric vehicle (BEV) adoption, the technology vendor explained. Chinese manufacturers are shifting focus from BEVs to ICE and hybrid vehicles. This strategic shift addresses tariff considerations and slower-than-expected BEV demand. Indicata projects increasing pressure on the EU, UK, Brazil, Mexico, and Australia to absorb Chinese vehicles, including PHEVs. 'Whilst there are tariffs in place for BEVs in the EU, it's still possible for Chinese manufacturers to sell BEVs in Europe more profitably than in their home market,' Shields added. 'The UK market is particularly exposed, as there are currently no additional tariffs on Chinese BEVs. Indicata said that the competitive landscape is unsustainable, with most manufacturers needing one million vehicle production annually for profitability. Only a few brands, including BYD, Li Auto, and Seres, report consistent margins while others such as Nio face cash burn impacting profits. Industry consolidation appears unavoidable as smaller firms confront acquisition or risk exiting the market, Indicata said. Recognising the sector's instability, the Chinese Government is signalling broader shifts ahead for the global automotive landscape. Chinese EV manufacturers aim for 50% of sales from international markets, with exports already at 33% of China's total EV production in early 2025. However, this strategy risks geopolitical tensions, evolving tariffs, and regulatory barriers. European consumers may benefit from lower-priced, advanced vehicles in the short term, but long-term implications for used car markets could be significant, as competitively priced Chinese vehicles might pressure used vehicle valuations. Automakers such as Volkswagen and Honda struggle to compete with Chinese EVs, while the price war in China further challenges Western manufacturers. These OEMs may focus more on their home markets in Europe, leading to increased competition and price wars to avoid CO₂ penalties, impacting sales of both new and used vehicles during 2025.
