Latest Crypto News | Bitcoin, Ethereum and Altcoin Updates

Bitcoin has traded in a tight $100,000–$110,000 range for nearly a month, even as U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw $5.14 billion of net inflows over 30 days. Futures metrics turned cautious: the annualized two-month Bitcoin futures premium fell below 4%—its lowest since March—and the 25% delta skew in BTC options climbed to 5%, signaling bearish sentiment. On Binance, both long and short positions built up, with short interest rising faster amid Middle East geopolitical tensions. The funding rate remains near neutral, indicating balanced bulls and bears. Technical analysis highlights a potential inverse head & shoulders on the 3-day chart, while on-chain NVT ratio warns of overvaluation. Traders anticipate a breakout—some targeting $150,000—if liquidity holds. At press time, Bitcoin trades at $105,940, up 1.1% in 24 hours.

Crypto insiders are quietly accumulating MAGACOIN FINANCE, the leading altcoin presale that has raised over $10 million in weeks. The project features a fully capped supply of 170 billion tokens, a 100% PATRIOTS100X bonus on entry, and a HashEx-audited, real-time staking platform. This combination of fixed supply and staking rewards has drawn traders reallocating profits from established Layer 1s—SOL, DOT, KAS and APT—toward MAGACOIN FINANCE’s early-stage momentum. With verified contracts and institutional-grade security, MAGACOIN FINANCE presents an asymmetric opportunity for aggressive portfolios seeking outsized gains when broader market attention arrives.

Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has opened a consultation on draft amendments to its digital asset framework, introducing new crypto token listing rules for local exchanges. Under the proposals, exchanges may list their own utility tokens or those issued by affiliates, provided they meet enhanced investor protection and market transparency standards. Key requirements include mandatory disclosure of individuals linked to listed tokens, automated alerts to detect market abuse, visual warning indicators for high-risk tokens, and a 90-day retroactive compliance window for existing listings. The consultation runs until July 21, 2025, after which the SEC will finalize the rules. These measures build on Thailand’s recent abolition of crypto capital gains tax and a five-year trading tax exemption, as well as plans to issue US$150 million in digital investment tokens this summer. By aligning Thailand’s crypto token listing rules with global best practices, the SEC aims to deter fraud, reduce information asymmetry and attract institutional investors, reinforcing the country’s position as a leading Southeast Asian digital finance hub.

Former President Donald Trump intensified his attack on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a “numbskull” and urging immediate interest rate cuts of 1–2%. Trump blamed Powell’s high-rate policy for up to $1 trillion in annual U.S. costs, dismissed lingering inflation worries, and hinted at firing Powell before his term ends. Meanwhile, Fed Governor Christopher Waller argued for a July rate cut as inflation eases, while other officials, including Mary Daly, prefer waiting until fall for more data. This split Fed rate cuts outlook adds uncertainty but signals potential liquidity boost. Crypto traders should watch for looser monetary policy—lower interest rates tend to drive risk-asset flows and could fuel bullish momentum in digital assets.

Bitcoin open interest in futures and options climbed to a record $96.2 billion, propelled by spot Bitcoin ETF launches and elevated speculative leverage—the Realized Cap Leverage Ratio is now in the top 10.8% of days since 2018. A shift to stablecoin-margined collateral, led by USDT, has helped cushion volatility. Binance Futures saw a record $1.7 trillion in May trading volume, boosting liquidity and engagement. However, open interest then fell by 3.5%, signifying a moderate reduction in leveraged positions rather than a full exit. BTC is trading around $105,910 within a $103,600 support and $109,300 resistance range, with 50-, 100- and 200-day SMAs sloping up. Macro headwinds—rising US Treasury yields, steady Fed rates and geopolitical tensions—are damping bullish momentum. Traders should monitor leverage metrics, collateral trends and technical breakouts: a move above $109,300 could reignite gains, while a drop below $103,600 risks testing the $95K–$98K zone.

The SEC is set to reclassify major altcoins—Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA)—as commodities under CFTC oversight. Bloomberg analysts Erich Balchunas and James Seyffart put the odds of new crypto ETF approvals above 90%, citing very positive SEC feedback. This commodity designation will streamline spot crypto ETF launches beyond Bitcoin, whose iShares Bitcoin Trust has amassed over $70 billion in assets. Ethereum ETFs have shown mixed results and cautious investor sentiment. Proposed XRP and Solana ETFs are currently under SEC review and may take several months to clear the “first-to-file” regulatory process. Traders should watch this shift closely, as clearer commodity classification and high ETF approval odds could trigger significant institutional inflows and reshape the US crypto ETF landscape.

The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark rate at 4.25% but revealed a growing split over future cuts. Governor Christopher Waller advocates for a July rate cut to support the labor market, while Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin sees no data justification and warns that tariffs could stoke inflation. This discord follows hints that geopolitical events—such as a potential US-Iran conflict, EU-Iran negotiations, and a breakdown of the US-China tariff truce—could prompt emergency easing. The dollar index has dropped from 104 to near three-year lows around 99, boosting Bitcoin’s appeal as an inflation hedge. Technical firm DaanCrypto warns BTC may rebound if it reclaims key liquidity zones or risk sliding toward $100,000 monthly lows. A surprise Fed cut could further weaken the dollar and fuel a Bitcoin breakout above $120,000.

Bitcoin price stabilized around $106,000 after the Fed’s June FOMC meeting left rates unchanged. Earlier, BTC plunged from $108,000 to $103,000 following Israel’s missile strike on Iran but rebounded to $109,000 before easing to $103,500 ahead of the Fed decision. Post-announcement, bitcoin price traded flat near $104,000 and climbed back above $106,000 amid reports Iran may limit its uranium enrichment. On a weekly basis, BTC is slightly up. Among large-cap altcoins, WBT led gains with a 45% surge, followed by BCH (17%) and UNI (6.6%), while HYPE (-7%), ADA (-5%), SUI (-5%) and DOT (-6%) retreated. Total crypto market cap stands at $3.406 trillion, BTC dominance at 61.8%, and 24 h volume of $103 billion. Key developments: Tron plans a US public listing via reverse merger (TRX); the GENIUS Act for stablecoin oversight passed the Senate; Ethereum staking surpassed 35 million ETH; institutional buyers drove BTC above $100,000. Traders should monitor geopolitical risk and Fed policy for short-term moves, while institutional demand underpins long-term stability.

Parataxis Holdings, part of Parataxis Capital Management, will invest 29 billion won (US$18.5 million) to acquire a controlling stake in Seoul‐listed Bridge Biotherapeutics, pending shareholder approval. The biotech firm will be rebranded Parataxis Korea and relisted on KOSDAQ. Andrew Kim of Parataxis Capital will become CEO and Edward Chin joins the board, while James Jungkue Lee leads a retained biotech division. Parataxis Korea plans an institutional-grade Bitcoin treasury strategy, emphasizing disciplined capital allocation, transparent governance and long-term accumulation. This move follows precedent from MicroStrategy (582,000 BTC) and Japan’s Metaplanet (10,000 BTC) and taps rising global demand: Standard Chartered reports 61 non-crypto firms now hold Bitcoin in treasury, doubling since April. The initiative aligns with South Korea’s 2025 Financial Services Commission pilot for real-name crypto accounts. Bridge Biotherapeutics shares jumped over 20% intraday after the deal was announced, though they remain down 74% year-to-date. The combined assets of public companies’ Bitcoin treasury strategies now approach 4% of total BTC supply.

Bitcoin remains range-bound between $100K support and $110K resistance as traders weigh a potential breakout or breakdown. On the daily chart, BTC trades near $106K with an RSI around 51 and rising 100/200-day moving averages, indicating a bullish structure. A decisive daily close above $110K could trigger a strong breakout, while a break below the March trendline may drive prices toward channel lows near $100K. The 4-hour chart shows a rebound from $103K into a fair value gap at $106K, capped by a bearish trendline. A volume-backed move above this zone could retest $110K; otherwise, sellers may target liquidity around $102K–$100K. Spot Taker CVD data highlights renewed aggressive buying, suggesting large players are accumulating. Continued demand at key support levels could sustain bullish momentum, but any CVD weakness without price gains may foreshadow further downside. Bitcoin traders should monitor breakout levels and volume signals for short-term and medium-term positioning.

Analysts project that Ruvi AI’s audited token, RUVI, could deliver between 112× and 135× returns over the next 12–18 months, drawing parallels to Binance Coin’s early surge after audits and listings. Launched in early 2024, Ruvi AI combines AI-driven tokenomics with community governance and a robust roadmap of DeFi applications. Key metrics include a $20 million market cap, a 5 million circulating supply and verified audit reports. Strategic partnerships with blockchain analytics firms, a $3 million private funding round and planned mainnet launch have bolstered confidence. Traders are rotating capital from larger meme assets like Dogecoin (DOGE, $15 billion market cap) into RUVI, attracted by its low entry price, expanding exchange listings and active developer updates. Expect heightened volatility through Q2 but overall bullish momentum as trading volume and liquidity grow.

Investigators have exposed a crypto Ponzi scheme that used Telegram OTC groups to defraud traders of over $50 million by offering discounted forward sales of 32 altcoins. From November 2024 to January 2025, scammers posing as VC pools targeted high-profile investors with deep discounts on tokens like APT, SEI and SWELL, delivering initial orders on time to build trust. The operation expanded from February to June 2025, adding major projects including SUI, NEAR, Axelar and GRT despite public warnings. Payouts stopped in June, and on June 19 Aza Ventures confirmed it was a classic Ponzi, using new funds to pay earlier investors. Total losses exceed $50 million, with individual losses over $1 million. Victims face cross-border legal challenges and ongoing recovery negotiations.

Traders are eyeing a quartet of undervalued crypto tokens—LILPEPE, BONK, VET and JUP—each offering unique catalysts for upside. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has moved from its Stage 2 to Stage 3 presale at $0.0011–$0.0012, raising over $1.14 million with zero trading tax, bot protection and a proprietary Layer 2 chain, targeting a 172.7% gain at its $0.003 launch price. Bonk (BONK) trades at $0.000014 on Solana with a $1 billion market cap; 1.69 trillion tokens have been burned to boost scarcity, and MACD/RSI signals support a bullish rebound after a 14% dip. VeChain (VET) at $0.0242 shows a weekly bullish engulfing pattern and RSI near 31, pointing to a potential move toward $0.0326. Jupiter (JUP), priced at $0.42 (79% below its $2.04 ATH), stands to benefit from Solana’s ecosystem growth as a DeFi hub. This diverse slate of undervalued crypto picks spans meme culture, tokenomics and enterprise solutions, offering both short-term trading setups and long-term growth potential.

Norwegian authorities are set to investigate and potentially impose a temporary ban on crypto mining from autumn 2025 under the Planning and Building Act. The move aims to free up to 200 MW of hydropower capacity, network bandwidth and land amid rising power prices, grid strain and winter peak demand. New data-center registration rules will track energy usage by mining operations to improve transparency and inform the scope of any pause. Proposed restrictions target high-consumption Bitcoin (BTC) facilities, with exemptions for heat-capture setups and small-scale miners. The draft rules are under public consultation, and a final decision is expected by early next year.

Binance has listed the BRIC token on its Alpha Projects pilot program, giving selected traders early access to buy and sell BRIC before a full public launch. The listing builds on Binance’s Alpha trading platform and underscores its strategy to spotlight emerging blockchain projects through controlled, low-risk trials. Participants benefit from increased liquidity, improved price discovery and enhanced community engagement. As Binance tests BRIC token performance under live trading conditions, users can provide feedback to help refine the token’s roadmap. This move responds to growing market interest in BRIC’s underlying blockchain solutions and positions the token for broader adoption.

On June 21, 2025, Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched a public consultation on draft regulations governing utility token issuance and exchange listings. The proposals mandate full disclosure of all individuals with financial or control interests in any token project to curb insider trading and enhance market transparency. Licensed exchanges would be allowed to list their own or affiliated utility tokens and must use warning symbols in electronic reports to highlight potential risks. Existing tokens must comply within 90 days of enactment. Security tokens are excluded, and final rules will reflect stakeholder feedback. This move follows the 2022 insider trading case involving Bitkub’s CTO, the recent blocking of unlicensed platforms OKX and Bybit, and incentives such as crypto credit-card spending for tourists and a waived capital gains tax on licensed providers from 2025 to 2029.

Coinbase has become the first U.S. exchange to secure a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license from Luxembourg’s financial regulator, granting it unified EU access across 27 member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The approval triggers the relocation of Coinbase’s European headquarters from Ireland to Luxembourg, a jurisdiction with established blockchain laws ahead of MiCA’s full implementation in early 2026. With the MiCA license, Coinbase can now offer trading, custody and 24/7 USDC settlement services throughout the EU without separate national approvals, driving its stock up over 3% and positioning it ahead of competitors still in legal grey areas. Industry peers OKX, Crypto.com, Bybit and Gemini have also obtained MiCA licenses, intensifying the race among EU jurisdictions to attract crypto firms. Meanwhile, traders are eyeing high-potential presale altcoins such as Solaxy (SOLX), Best Wallet Token (BEST) and Neo Pepe (NEOP) for early entry in the post-MiCA era. Coinbase will build out its Luxembourg operations, manage compliance obligations and compete on service expansion as EU regulators monitor enforcement consistency.

XRP has maintained a firm price floor above $2 despite significant retail profit-taking following the November 2024 rally. Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reports realized profits peaked at $68.8 million per day on a seven-day moving average, marking over 300% gains for early holders. Most sellers have been retail, while “diamond hands” continue to hold, signaling robust liquidity. Analyst Chad Steingraber suggests the $2 level’s resilience points to institutional accumulation on the horizon. Meanwhile, crypto commentator The Modern Investor highlights XRP’s nascent market phase and reiterates a long-term $100 target over multiple cycles. He warns that buying 10,000 XRP now costs over $21,000, raising barriers for retail newcomers. Despite this, owning just 11,000 XRP places investors in the top 4% globally. The combined insights underscore the value of early entry, steady accumulation, and passive income strategies like staking. Traders should watch on-chain ownership shifts closely, as growing institutional demand could drive further upside.

XRP price slid 4.5% last week and is now trading in a tightening symmetrical triangle, testing the critical $2.10 support zone. This level also aligns with the previous value area low and the 200-day moving average, marking a key support/resistance flip. A breakdown below $2.10 could trigger a liquidity sweep toward lower supports at $2.01, $1.90 and $1.55. Conversely, a strong defense of $2.10 accompanied by rising volume and a push above the recent local high of $2.40 would boost bullish momentum. The daily Relative Strength Index has broken down from a descending trendline, suggesting mounting pressure and imminent volatility. Traders should watch XRP price action around these support and resistance levels, along with RSI signals, for high-conviction entry points.

Everything Blockchain Inc. has committed $10 million to a diversified crypto treasury, acquiring SOL, XRP, SUI, TAO and HYPE. As the first U.S. publicly traded firm to adopt a diversified staking treasury, the company aims to boost liquidity, reduce volatility and generate yield through staking rewards. The portfolio will be periodically rebalanced and guided by governance proposals to maintain target allocations. Locking tokens into staking protocols may tighten secondary market supply and help stabilize prices. Industry experts view this initiative as a blueprint for institutional DeFi adoption in corporate treasuries and a step toward greater capital efficiency and financial resilience.

Major cryptocurrency whales from Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), Avalanche (AVAX) and Polkadot (DOT) are redirecting capital into the community-driven memecoin XYZVerse. The project’s presale has raised over $14 million toward its $15 million cap, now in stage 12 at $0.003333 per token, with prices set to rise to $0.005 in stage 13. XYZVerse’s tokenomics allocate 15% to liquidity, 10% to community rewards, 17.13% to deflationary burns and 10% of its 100 billion supply for airdrops. The team has launched an ambassador program and partnered with a decentralized sportsbook platform, offering exclusive betting bonuses. A listing on major centralized and decentralized exchanges is planned post-presale. Traders should weigh the high-risk, high-reward narrative of XYZVerse against established altcoin fundamentals as whale interest signals growing bullish momentum.

OZAK AI has entered its fourth presale stage at $0.005 per token, allocating 70% of its 10 billion supply for early backers. The project has raised over $1.2 million to date and is now listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. A $1 million token giveaway is boosting community engagement. Analysts forecast OZAK AI could surge 10× to $0.05 before Solana (SOL) reaches $500. Meanwhile, Solana has rebounded from 2022 lows with robust DeFi and NFT activity, institutional support and venture funding. SOL faces resistance at $185, $230 and ultimately $300, with key supports at $145, $120 and $98. A break above $230 could propel SOL toward $300 by 2025. Traders may combine Solana’s established ecosystem stability with OZAK AI’s high-growth potential to balance risk and reward.

The crypto market plunged $240 billion as Israel–Iran tensions spurred heavy selling. Bitcoin fell 2% to $103,127 and Ethereum dropped 10% to $2,456, with whales offloading over $900 million in mid-term BTC positions. Leverage liquidations wiped $503 million across exchanges (including $183 million in ETH), impacting 134,000 traders. Solana tumbled 3.4%, hitting resistance at the 50-day SMA ($160.65) and the 78.6% Fibonacci level ($147.38); next support lies at $136.51. Bitcoin dominance rose to 64.24% and the Altcoin Season Index sits at 19/100, signaling “Bitcoin Season.” SOL’s 30-day correlation with BTC hit 0.89, amplifying its moves. Traders should monitor key supports, apply risk management, and track geopolitical developments and Bitcoin trends.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed HB4488 to legally shield the state’s Bitcoin Reserve—both on-treasury and off-treasury—from being diverted into general revenue. The formal establishment of the Texas Bitcoin Reserve now hinges on Senate Bill 21 (SB21), which would permit the state to invest in cryptocurrencies with market capitalizations above $500 billion—currently only Bitcoin (BTC). SB21 was delivered to the governor on June 1 and will automatically become law if not signed or vetoed by June 22, 2025. Texas would join New Hampshire and Arizona among the first U.S. states considering formal Bitcoin Reserve programs. Traders should watch SB21’s outcome and the June 22 deadline closely, as its enactment could signal new state-backed Bitcoin accumulation and influence market sentiment around the Bitcoin Reserve.

Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal forecasts the current crypto bull cycle will mirror 2017’s pattern and extend through Q2 2026. He cites macroeconomic indicators—easing inflation, central bank rate cuts, and fiscal stimulus—and a 9% decline in the US Dollar Index as key drivers. Pal’s proprietary business cycle score remains below 50, signaling an early-stage economic rebound that historically aligns with rising crypto valuations. Pal also highlights growing institutional adoption in the Middle East, where sovereign wealth funds are integrating AI and blockchain. He advises traders to track Bitcoin price action, macro data releases, and regional blockchain initiatives. These factors could sustain momentum and signal continuation of the crypto bull cycle. By monitoring these macro drivers and institutional flows, traders can better anticipate market stability and potential bullish triggers into mid-2026.

Bitcoin has entered the light green “buy” zone on the long-term Rainbow Chart after peaking on May 22 and consolidating between $100,000 and $110,000 for nearly a month. On-chain data from CryptoQuant show realized profits remain below $1 billion on a seven-day moving average, indicating subdued profit-taking and panic. Meanwhile, the Rainbow Chart’s historical reliability around halving cycles suggests upside potential. However, a weakening demand metric—measuring new supply versus dormant coins—signals fading buying interest that could stall a breakout above $110,000. Technical indicators point to an oversold buy/sell pressure delta and a possible final phase of Wyckoff Accumulation. Traders should watch the $100,000–$110,000 band closely: a decisive move past $110,000 may trigger a rapid advance toward $130,000, while failure to break resistance could maintain tight range trading.

Semler Scientific has launched an $11 billion Bitcoin accumulation strategy to build a crypto treasury of 105,000 BTC by end-2027. The plan sets interim milestones of 10,000 BTC by end-2025 and 42,000 BTC by end-2026, funded via equity, debt financing and operational cash flows. Since adopting Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset in May 2024, Semler has delivered a 287% yield and recorded $177 million in unrealized gains as of June 2025. The firm appointed Joe Burnett, former Unchained market research director, as Director of Bitcoin Strategy and raised $500 million through stock-based fundraising dedicated to Bitcoin accumulation. The announcement drove Semler’s shares up nearly 12% pre-market. Market observers compare the strategy to MicroStrategy’s corporate treasury model and note potential impacts on Bitcoin supply dynamics, market sentiment, and broader institutional adoption of on-chain treasury management.

Onchain Lens data reveals a single crypto wallet bought 3.39 million KTA tokens for 2.156 million USDT at an average price of $0.635 per token, underscoring renewed whale interest and a boost in token liquidity. The large-scale acquisition of this meme-inspired token could trigger short-term price spikes. Traders should track KTA whale transactions, USDT on-chain liquidity and Onchain Lens swap details to identify potential breakout levels and adjust their crypto trading strategies accordingly.

Ethereum price held firm around $2,500 support despite mixed market sentiment and anticipation of network upgrades and steady DeFi activity. Solana price pulled back to $142, down 8% from recent highs, driven by profit-taking and sector rotation. Mining equipment startup BlockDAG has begun shipping its next-generation DAG miners to early backers, aiming to secure a first-mover advantage. The company plans to launch its BDG token on multiple exchanges soon, which analysts say could provide a significant liquidity boost. Traders will watch Ethereum’s upgrade progress, Solana’s volatility and BlockDAG’s token listing for short-term trading opportunities.
