❗️ DEX tokens: which projects stand out

DEX platforms are no longer a niche tool. In 2025, trading volume on decentralised derivatives exchanges approached $7.9 trillion, and interest in platform tokens continues to grow.

A DEX token is not just a coin tied to an exchange. Depending on the project, it provides governance rights, staking rewards, fee discounts, or a share of platform revenue.

The most notable tokens on the market right now:

➖HYPE (Hyperliquid) — perp DEX with its own L1 infrastructure
➖UNI (Uniswap) — one of the key benchmarks for the entire DeFi sector
➖JUP (Jupiter) — a major liquidity aggregator on Solana
➖CAKE (PancakeSwap) — DEX with a large user base on BNB Chain
➖CRV (Curve) — focused on stablecoin swaps and liquidity management
➖ASTER, EDGE, LIT — emerging projects in the perpetuals segment

When evaluating a token, look beyond the price. Trading volume, the token's role within the ecosystem, tokenomics, and competition all matter.

❗️ Crypto liquidity: what it is and why it matters

Liquidity is how easily an asset can be bought or sold without significantly changing its price. The higher the liquidity, the faster transactions are executed and the more stable the price stays, even during large trading volumes.

Several factors affect liquidity: trading volume on exchanges, listings on major platforms, project reputation, and the number of available trading pairs.

Why it matters:

➖ for traders — positions can be opened and closed quickly without losing value on the spread
➖ for investors — liquid assets are easier to exit at the right moment
➖ for businesses — choosing liquid currencies reduces volatility risks when accepting crypto payments

🤑 Rare physical BTC coin was sold for $1.78M

An anonymous holder recently redeemed a 25 BTC physical Casascius coin, 15 years after its release. At current prices, the redemption netted over $1.78 million.

Casascius coins were created in 2011 by software engineer Mike Caldwell. They were launched in denominations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25, 100, and 1,000 BTC. Each coin has a Bitcoin address printed on the outside and a security hologram on the back concealing the private key. To redeem it, the holder peels off the hologram and retrieves the key.

According to Casascius tracker, 27, 916 coins and bars were made in total, with 10, 479 already cashed in. The overall value of the coins created is now worth up to $6.2 billion at current BTC prices.

⚡️ Proven Ways to Speed Up a Bitcoin Transaction

When the network is congested, transactions go into the mempool, a queue of unconfirmed operations. Miners prioritise transactions with higher fees, so the lower your fee, the longer the wait.

Five ways to speed up a transaction:

➖ Increase the fee — the simplest option. Most wallets allow you to adjust it manually.
➖ RBF (Replace-by-fee) — replaces an unconfirmed transaction with a new one at a higher fee. Supported by Electrum, Exodus, Trezor, and others.
➖ CPFP (Child Pays for Parent) — creates a new transaction with a high fee based on the unconfirmed one. The miner confirms both at once.
➖ Increase payment priority — avoid small amounts with standard fees, use digital signatures, and send through trusted servers.
➖ Transaction accelerators — external services that push your transaction through the mempool. Both free and paid options are available.

The higher the network load, the more important it is to calculate the right fee before sending.

❗️ What to do if an invoice is partially paid

Partial payment usually occurs when the customer does not account for wallet or blockchain network fees and less than the required amount is received.

How to resolve this:

The customer can pay the remaining amount. The system will automatically calculate the shortfall and display it on the invoice page.

The merchant can also confirm the invoice manually through the dashboard. To do so, go to the Payments section, find the invoice using the search, open it, and click the Confirm button.

In the project settings, you can set an allowed payment tolerance in advance, and the invoice will be confirmed automatically. For example, if the allowed deviation is $1, a $10 invoice will be confirmed even if the customer sends only $9.50.

🔵 Blockchain network fees: what they are and how they work

A network fee is a mandatory charge for every cryptocurrency transaction. It serves two purposes: it rewards miners for confirming transactions and protects the network from spam attacks.

The fee does not depend on the transfer amount. It depends on the transaction's size in bytes and current network congestion. The higher the fee, the faster miners will include the transaction in a block.

What affects the fee size:

➖ network congestion — more transactions in the queue means higher competition for block space transaction
➖ complexity — multi-signature and multiple inputs increase the transaction weight
➖ urgency — faster confirmation requires a higher fee

You can reduce costs by transacting during low-activity periods or adjusting the fee manually in your wallet. Network load can be monitored in real time via special services.

💰 How to reduce acquiring fees

Bank acquiring is expensive, and international payments make the cost even more noticeable.

To reduce bank acquiring expenses, it is worth reviewing the contract for hidden fees, disabling unnecessary options, and joining the loyalty program.

At the same time, blockchain fees are generally lower and do not depend on the buyer's location. No chargebacks, simple verification, and fees can be passed on to the buyer.

Trybit supports Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum, and over 40 other cryptocurrencies with fees starting from 0.4%. Integration is available via API, HTML widget, or ready-made modules for WooCommerce, Tilda, and other CMS platforms. Registration and setup are free.

💳 Hot or cold crypto wallet: which one to choose

Both wallet types store private keys, but they work differently and serve different purposes.

A hot wallet stays connected to the internet. It is convenient for regular transactions, connecting to dApps, and decentralised exchanges. Popular options include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Exodus. The main drawback is lower security due to constant internet exposure.

A cold wallet stores keys offline. It is nearly impossible to hack without physical access to the device, making it ideal for long-term storage of larger amounts. Downsides include cost starting from $80 and inconvenience for frequent transactions. Popular options: Ledger, Trezor, Tangem.

Many crypto holders use both: a cold wallet for storage and a hot wallet for everyday operations.

🔴 GRAM (ex-Toncoin) drops 15% after the rebrand

On June 15, Toncoin officially rebranded to GRAM, a move led by Telegram founder Pavel Durov. After the June 1 announcement, the price jumped 20%, nearing $2.3, but by June 5 all the gains had faded.

GRAM is now trading at $1.61, ranking 21st by market cap on CoinMarketCap. The price is down almost 80% from its 2024 peak and lost 15% over the past month.

Exchanges are switching to the new ticker at different speeds. Some platforms, including CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, have already updated their data, while others plan to do so within the next few weeks. Binance and Coinbase are still trading under the old TON ticker.

A reminder that nothing has changed technically for GRAM holders: balances do not require migration, and smart contracts remain the same.

✅ USDT or BUSD: which stablecoin to choose for payments

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to the value of a real-world asset, usually the US dollar. USDT and BUSD both hold a 1 to 1 rate, but they work differently.

USDT is the largest stablecoin on the market, backed by Tether's reserves and available on Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Polygon, and other networks. It is supported by nearly every exchange and DeFi platform.

BUSD was issued by Paxos under New York regulatory oversight, designed specifically for the Binance ecosystem. Since 2023, new token issuance has been halted, and the coin now trades only on the secondary market.

The main difference comes down to scale. USDT works almost everywhere, while BUSD remains mostly tied to Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain with more limited liquidity.

Trybit supports USDT and other stablecoin payments with fees starting from 0.4%. Integration is available via API, HTML widget, or ready-made CMS modules.

⚡️ Bybit restricts access to its global platform for EU residents

On June 29th Bybit announced a phased resriction of services on its global platform for residents of the European Economic Area.

The move comes as the MiCA rulebook finally takes full effect, after which unlicensed platforms must stop serving EU clients. Restrictions apply to most EEA countries.

The regulated alternative is Bybit EU, licensed in Austria under MiCAR. It requires a separate account.

According to ESMA, only 210 of more than 1200 companies had received MiCA authorization by late May. Binance has already withdrawn its license aplication in Greece and will suspend services in several EU countries starting July 1st, with around $400M withdrawn from the exchange in the past week.
