Investors withdrew $621 million from Bitcoin products following unmet Fed expectations
📉 From June 8 to 14, outflows from cryptocurrency investment products totaled $600 million, with Bitcoin-based products alone seeing $621 million withdrawn, according to CoinShares.
👀 These figures are the highest since March 2024, equating to one-third of the previous week's inflows.
Assets under management fell to $94.2 billion, and ETP trading volume decreased from $12.8 billion to $11 billion. Analysts attributed the sentiment shift to the Fed's key rate forecasts.🧐
🤷 Clients withdrew $621 million from Bitcoin-related instruments, while in the previous period, they added $1.97 billion. Investors added $1.5 million to short digital gold positions (previously withdrew $5.3 million).
📊 Ethereum, LIDO, and XRP saw inflows of $2 million and $1 million respectively. Ethereum-based funds continued their positive trend for the fourth consecutive week, with inflows slowing from March's $68.9 million to $13.1 million.

Tether, the issuer of USDT, has launched aUSDT, a new token backed by Tether Gold (XAUT)
💲 aUSDT combines the stability of a dollar-pegged token with the security of gold, stored in Swiss vaults.
🔨 Users can mint aUSDT using XAUT as collateral.
"Alloy" series tokens are designed to maintain a stable value by tracking benchmark assets and using stabilization strategies like over-collateralization and secondary market liquidity pools.
📝 The Alloy smart contracts on Ethereum ensure transparency by tracking all collateral and issued tokens with price oracles.
👀 Tether states this innovative token benefits users who want to engage in digital transactions with a familiar currency without selling their XAUT. 🚫💰

On June 16, the Ethereum ecosystem set a new record for transactions per second (TPS).
🚀 The total TPS of Ethereum-based projects soared to a record 245.87, equivalent to approximately 21.2 million transactions per day.
👀 Xai's Layer 3 solution on the Arbitrum network accounted for about 41% of this total.
Until June 10, the protocol's TPS rarely exceeded one transaction per second, but then sharply rose to 101.72.
On June 16, Base and Arbitrum also made it to the top three leaders with TPS figures of 33 and 21, respectively. 🧐
Despite the high activity, Xai's TVL (total value locked) remains relatively low at $1.33 million, placing the network 45th in the overall rankings. 🤷
For comparison, the leading network on Arbitrum has a TVL of $17.91 billion, and Base, in second place, has $7.59 billion.

📈 CEO of Binance, Richard Teng, is confident that Bitcoin will exceed $80,000 by the end of this year (source). He believes that the improvement in macroeconomic conditions in 2025 will be a strong driver for further growth in the crypto market.
🚀 At the same time, analysts at Bernstein have raised their year-end 2025 BTC target to $200,000 (source).
🇨🇳 Meanwhile, the Chinese, as always, have long-term plans. Chinese telecommunications giant Coolpad is investing $41,500,000 in mining and crypto companies (source).
🇺🇸 The Chinese need to catch up with the Americans. The total market capitalization of US-listed Bitcoin miners has increased (source) to $22.8 billion — 7 companies have surpassed the $1 billion threshold.
🇪🇺 Old Europe now strictly regulates stablecoins. Due to the implementation of new MiCA crypto regulation rules starting July 1, crypto exchange Uphold will cease support for the stablecoins $USDT, $DAI, $FRAX, $GUSD, $USDP, and $TUSD in Europe (source).

💧 The ongoing drop from zkSync is one of the largest airdrops in history, with tokens worth $907 million allocated.
As of now, 66.9% of the distribution has taken place, with 430,706 participants claiming 2.46 billion ZK tokens ($607.6 million). (Arkham)
👀 It seems like the team didn't bother to properly verify wallets, as the tokens appear to have been distributed completely randomly, or perhaps to people connected to the team, since many were rejected while others received a fortune.
🏹 For example, this airdrop hunter received 3,010,000 ZK ($753,000) across 85 wallets! He then transferred 2,710,000 ZK to Binance and sold 300,000 ZK on SyncSwap. 💰

4100 out of the 10,000 largest addresses that received a distribution from ZKsync have sold all their ZK tokens, according to data from Nansen.
👀 Another 29.2% have sold only part of their tokens, while slightly more than 30% of wallets are still holding their assets.
In total, the large airdrop participants have dumped 491 million ZK, which at the time is equivalent to ~$110.1 million. 🧐
However, Nansen's data covers only 1.4% of the 690,951 eligible wallets, so there is no precise information on how smaller recipients are behaving. 🤷

ConsenSys, the developer of Ethereum, announced that the SEC has notified them of the termination of the investigation into Ethereum 2.0. The regulator will no longer claim that the sale of ETH constitutes a securities transaction. 🥳
📂 This decision followed a letter sent by ConsenSys on June 7, in which they requested the SEC to confirm that the May approvals of the ETH ETF, which were based on ETH being classified as a commodity, would lead to the closure of the investigation into Ethereum 2.0. 🔎
🥋 The developers also stated that the struggle is ongoing, as they are now seeking a declaration from the SEC that the offering of the MetaMask Swaps and Staking user interface software does not violate securities laws also.

Considering the current ETF situation, this might just be the season for ETH. However, historically, when ETH rises, other altcoins usually follow suit. 🚀

A conflict has erupted among CertiK, Kraken, and the crypto community due to a discovered exploit
🔍 CertiK was identified as the entity that reported the bug. They claimed to have found critical vulnerabilities in Kraken's systems, potentially leading to losses of hundreds of millions of dollars. CertiK also alleged that Kraken's security team threatened their employees, demanding an "inappropriate" payment within "unreasonable" deadlines.
Kraken countered, saying they requested a full report and the return of the funds, accusing CertiK of unethical hacking and extortion for not complying.
The crypto community on X questioned CertiK's actions:
▪️Why did CertiK withdraw so much money if the bug could be proven with smaller amounts?
▪️ Why did CertiK transfer all funds to Tornado Cash?
▪️ Analysts found contradictions in CertiK reports.
▪️ Similar anomalies were noticed on other exchanges.
Users began to doubt CertiK competence and suspect its employees of malicious actions against various projects🧐

The volume of money transfers on TON already makes up 10% of the funds transferred on the Bitcoin network!
💵 Transfers through The Open Network (TON) range from $5.0 to $10.0 billion. For comparison, the average daily transfer volume for Bitcoin is around $50.0 billion. This shows that TON has already achieved 10% of Bitcoin’s capacity, which is impressive for a four-year-old coin.
📈 Another sign of TON’s exponential growth is the number of on-chain token holders. Currently, there are 32 million holders, up from 2.9 million a year ago. That’s a tenfold increase in just one year! 💪
