coincheck's move this time is pretty good, pouring in 111 million to try to take over 97% of 3iQ... their calculations are quite clever.

Wait a minute, I need to trace the funding chain of this transaction... $110 million acquisition of 97% equity, this number is a bit interesting. Why not 100%? Who holds the remaining 3%? After on-chain tracking, this kind of transaction structure looks a bit subtle. Coincheck's move is obviously paving the way for institutional funds. Based on transaction pattern analysis, the underlying logical chain is worth a deep dive.
