Bitcoin continues to scare!
📉 With the brief drop of Bitcoin below the psychologically significant $60,000 mark, the Fear and Greed Index has also dropped significantly - down 20 points from yesterday to 30 - "Fear". This is the lowest reading in 18 months! 🙈
👀 Currently, Bitcoin is trading in the range of $60,500 to $61,000. However, according to analysts at 10x Research, this may not be the end - a correction to $50,000 could be possible in the near future. 🧐

💰 As if we didn't have enough news about Mt.Gox, the German government is also dumping! They are selling bitcoin again—today they transferred 400 BTC ($24.3 million) to the exchanges Coinbase and Kraken. 🧐 The government wallets still hold 46,859 BTC worth $2.85 billion.
👀 However, the situation with Mt.Gox is not so straightforward. According to Galaxy Digital, retail investors are expected to receive about 65,000 BTC ($3.9 billion) from Mt.Gox, with the remainder going to institutional investors - meaning that the selling pressure should be less than market expectations.

🐭 Fans of Hamster Combat are outraged, but they are also mentioned, albeit by the Iranian authorities 😄. They consider Hamster Kombat as a tool of soft power designed by Western countries. 🧐 Some ministers stated that the game was intended to distract the Iranian population from the upcoming elections in the country, and the entire cryptocurrency sphere is seen as fraudulent. 😁

Bybit Doubles Trading Volumes After Bitcoin ETF Launch, Binance Losing Ground!
🚀 The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. has significantly boosted global cryptocurrency trading volumes. Bybit capitalized on this, doubling its market share from 8% to 16%. This surge has positioned the platform as the second-largest in the world by this metric, trailing only Binance (54%). 💪
👀 Despite improvements in revenue and profit metrics, Coinbase's global market share increased by only 1% from October to March.
🤷 Notably, Binance's market share decreased from 60% to 54%, even though the exchange resolved all disputes with U.S. regulators by the end of 2023.
🔎 Analysts attribute Bybit's success to its competitive fees, which are among the lowest in the industry.

📈 💰 During each bull market peak, the Ethereum Foundation has historically sold significant volumes of ETH. This practice has been noted as a strategic move to capitalize on high prices and potentially secure funding for future development initiatives.
👀 In the current cycle, however, there haven't been notable ETH sales from the foundation yet. This could imply several scenarios: either the anticipated price peak is still ahead, prompting them to hold onto their assets, or they have opted for a different approach this time around. 🧐
💲 Perhaps they are prioritizing long-term holdings to align with broader strategic goals or have adjusted their financial strategy based on market dynamics and institutional developments. It remains to be seen how their stance will evolve as the market continues to unfold.🤔

Robert Kiyosaki: Bitcoin is moving into the "Banana Zone."
Kiyosaki believes that Raoul Pal, a former high-ranking executive at Goldman Sachs and the author of this concept, knows what he’s talking about.
🍌 The "Banana Zone" means that Bitcoin is becoming parabolic, making people regret not buying more.
📈💰Kiyosaki shared that it was Pal’s advice that led him to invest in Bitcoin when it was $6,000. Today, those Bitcoins are worth around $60,000, and Kiyosaki continues to buy more every month.
He emphasizes that Bitcoin, as "rules-based money," can make people richer, unlike government-issued "debt-based" fiat money. He advises holding on tight as Bitcoin enters this exciting phase.

🚨 Crypto Payment Ban in UAE?
UAE lawyer Irina Heaver warns that new regulations might ban crypto payments in the UAE. On June 5, the Central Bank's board discussed the FIT program, approving rules for payment token services. These guidelines require tokens to be backed by UAE dirhams, excluding other currencies.
💼🔗 Heaver argues that these rules prohibit using cryptocurrencies for goods and services unless they're licensed dirham tokens or registered foreign tokens, which don’t yet exist. She highlights that this contradicts the UAE's pro-investment stance and could deter foreign investment.
🤷 Heaver stresses that Tether has been crucial for Web3 transactions, and these regulations might hinder the UAE’s digital economy ambitions.

Signs of a Local Bottom for Bitcoin?
📉 In the past three weeks, Bitcoin corrected by around 15%, dropping from $70k to $60k. However, there are signs of a potential local bottom, according CryptoQuant.
🔍 Futures Market:
▪️Open Interest dropped by $3 billion, mainly from long liquidations.
▪️Funding rates for perpetual contracts are near zero, indicating balanced buyer-seller dynamics and a healthier price structure.
💼 Short-Term Holders:
▪️Bitcoin’s price crossed the realized price of short-term holders (STHs) at $62.6k.
▪️STHs are now experiencing slightly negative profitability, a historical support point during uptrends.
📊 Macroeconomic Factors:
▪️U.S. macroeconomic data, including GDP, jobless claims (Thursday), and inflation (PCE) data (Friday), maybe influence market sentiment.
But current trends and data suggest a potential local bottom for Bitcoin.

CEO Ripple: SEC's Policy Could Cost Biden the Election!
❗️Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse warned that SEC Chair Gary Gensler's policies might lead to Joe Biden's defeat in the upcoming November presidential election. Garlinghouse was outraged by Gensler's comments at the Bloomberg Invest Summit in New York, where he stated that key industry players are either in jail, heading to jail, or facing extradition.
👀 Garlinghouse called these remarks "nonsense" and criticized Gensler for missing the FTX scandal and not being involved in the DOJ's Binance announcement. He argued that if Gensler truly "worked for the American people," he would have been fired by now.
⚖️ Ripple has been in a legal battle with the SEC since 2020, when the Commission accused Ripple of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of XRP as unregistered securities.

🔎 Arkham Research reports that these bitcoins were seized from an Indian citizen, Banmit Singh, who in 2024 pleaded guilty to distributing controlled substances and money laundering.
👀 Currently, the confiscated BTC is also periodically sold by the government of Germany.
According to CryptoQuant, these amounts are deemed insufficient to impact the market significantly, as only Coinbase Prime processes volumes that are orders of magnitude larger. 🧐
