Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff stated in his latest commentary that the market widely believes it is "almost impossible" for Bitcoin to drop to $20,000, but this judgment lacks a solid basis.Schiff pointed out that Bitcoin fell below the $20,000 level approximately 3.5 years ago, a period not so distant that a return to this price range can be ruled out. Significant retracements of assets within relatively short cycles are not uncommon in financial markets. He further noted that due to Bitcoin's higher volatility compared to most stocks, a pullback of similar magnitude under changes in macro or liquidity conditions is "entirely reasonable," and the market should not underestimate the downside risk.
Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company Empery Digital has announced the signing of a definitive cooperation agreement with Hunt Properties, investing $65 million to acquire a 25% equity stake in a new project entity. This entity plans to acquire and repurpose industrial厂房 in the U.S. Midwest to build a professional AI data center.The two parties have established a long-term strategic partnership to jointly develop computing power assets, advance AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure expansion, and integrate advantages in power supply, grid access, and capital market financing. Simultaneously, Empery Digital announced it will cease its previous public data disclosures based on Bitcoin holdings net asset value (NAV). The company explained that its current asset structure can no longer be measured solely by Bitcoin holdings and will focus on growth opportunities in AI computing power and energy infrastructure, diversifying into physical computing power operations.

The latest report released by Wintermute shows that cooling AI trading has triggered market sector rotation, with the Nasdaq Index falling for the fifth consecutive trading day, down 4.5% in a single day, and the semiconductor sector under significant pressure; Bitcoin fell 5.9%, dropping below $60,000 to around $59,300, while Ethereum fell 7.9%. The U.S. May Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) rose year-on-year to 4.1%, reinforcing expectations of higher rates for longer, and a stronger U.S. dollar also exerted pressure on crypto assets.
According to the weekly market report released by BIT Official, heavy selling in semiconductor and AI stocks on June 23-24 triggered defensive adjustments by institutional capital. BTC fell below $60K on June 24, hitting a low of ~$59,000 (intraday decline of approximately 5%). Approximately $994 million in liquidations occurred during the same period (of which approximately $780 million were long positions). Approximately $1.2 billion in nominal Put positions at the $60K level forced market makers to short, exacerbating the downward trend. As of the weekend, BTC was quoted at ~$59,992, down 6.9% for the week; ETH was quoted at ~$1,578, down 9.3% for the week. In terms of volatility, DVOL only rose slightly (BTC 44.1→45.7, ETH 57.3→59.5), front-end skew tended to stabilize, and convexity returned to normal. The institutional defensive hedging ratio decreased from 29.6% to 19.7%, shifting towards two-way balance, overall showing characteristics of an "orderly decline" rather than panic selling. In terms of ETFs, for the week ending June 26, US spot BTC ETFs saw net outflows of approximately $1.79 billion, marking the second-highest weekly outflow record in history, and have seen net outflows for 7 consecutive weeks; IBIT net assets decreased to approximately $44.4 billion, with average holders having an unrealized loss of approximately 40%. Strategy purchased only 520 BTC this week (approximately $34.9 million), significantly slowing down compared to the previous two weeks. MSTR stock price has fallen below its BTC book value, and the flywheel effect has been affected
According to the official announcement, Upbit will list AI KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs.
Binance founder CZ stated that the company's MiCA license application in Greece fully met regulatory requirements before its withdrawal and was close to approval. However, the process was ultimately disrupted due to the intervention of "external political factors."In an interview, CZ mentioned that several countries within the EU had expressed interest in the license, with some even showing a degree of "competitive pursuit." Ultimately, the regulatory progress was affected by factors outside the regulatory sphere, forcing the withdrawal of the application. Binance formally withdrew its Greek application last week and stated it would pursue MiCA authorization in other EU member states. Addressing market rumors linking him to high-level EU political figures, CZ said he had not seen any verifiable documents and had only encountered similar claims online, which he could not confirm.CZ also noted that the MiCA transitional period in the EU is set to end on July 1st. After that date, platforms without a license must cease related services. National regulatory bodies have made it clear there will be no extensions. He described the outcome as a "lose-lose situation" and, citing the regulatory histories of Japan and Singapore, emphasized that compliance processes often require a longer cycle.Furthermore, when discussing Strategy's STRC preferred stock product, CZ described its structure as "too complex" and said he found it difficult to fully understand its mechanism. However, he stressed that he was not making a judgment on the credibility of its founder, Michael Saylor, whom he considers a "staunch Bitcoin supporter." (The Block)
Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis has released a new methodological proposal aimed at establishing a unified on-chain fund tracking standard framework for law enforcement agencies and investigators to identify address clusters and determine their probable control relationships.The proposal defines the on-chain analysis structure in the form of an "ontology," centralizing the systematic decomposition of the currently industry-wide non-standardized concept of "cluster" (address clustering) into wallet segments and functional roles. It describes on-chain relationships through a two-tier structure: the first layer defines the transaction graph structure, and the second layer assesses the inferred confidence level.Chainalysis states that the framework aims to enhance the interpretability and legal applicability of on-chain forensic methods and has been validated through its practical experience in cases related to the U.S. Department of Justice, including analysis applied in the Bitcoin Fog mixing service case. The company's Chief Scientist, Jacob Illum, noted that the proposal's goal is to answer "on what evidentiary basis can these addresses be considered to belong to the same entity," but emphasized that on-chain analysis alone cannot directly identify end-user identities and must still be combined with legal investigative methods involving centralized entities such as exchanges.Chainalysis stated that the standard proposal is currently open for industry discussion, aiming to promote a more unified technical standard for on-chain analysis methods in the fields of law enforcement and compliance.

on-chain data analytics firm Glassnode has released its latest weekly market summary, noting that Bitcoin has briefly stabilized around the $60,000 level. However, the market is characterized by strong defensive traits and a lack of bullish confidence.The spot market is range-bound, with trading activity slightly increasing. Yet, capital continues to flow out on a net basis, and market liquidity is primarily driven by distribution, with no large-scale accumulation observed. The derivatives market is persistently deleveraging, with traders prioritizing downside hedging protection and showing low willingness for directional long positions. Funding rates remain low, indicating a generally weak risk appetite. Institutional pressure is significant, as US spot Bitcoin ETFs are collectively in a state of unrealized losses, with continued net capital outflows and low willingness among institutions to increase positions.Glassnode states that the current market is undergoing a period of structural adjustment and capital contraction. The $60,000 level provides only temporary support, and there are no signs of recovery in spot orders, derivatives positions, or institutional capital. For a sustained upward trend to emerge, a significant restoration of confidence among buyers is required.
: Bitcoin infrastructure company Breez has added a new feature to its developer toolkit, allowing users to send USDC and USDT directly from their Bitcoin balance to over 30 blockchain networks, without the need to convert in advance or hold stablecoins. This feature combines the Lightning Network with an automatic conversion mechanism. After the user enters the recipient's wallet address, the Breez SDK identifies the target blockchain, calculates the conversion route, and displays the amount, network, and fees before the payment is confirmed. The transaction is then routed through liquidity providers such as Flashnet and Boltz, converting the sender's Bitcoin into stablecoins and delivering them to the blockchain chosen by the recipient. Breez states that users still hold Bitcoin while initiating the payment, while the recipient receives stablecoins on their preferred blockchain. The feature operates in a non-custodial mode and initially only supports sending stablecoins outward. Future versions are planned to support receiving stablecoins from external blockchain networks.
Odaily Bitcoin mining company and data center Hive Digital Technologies has announced it will raise $100 million through the issuance of zero-coupon exchangeable senior notes due in 2031, aiming to further expand its computing infrastructure. Additionally, the company has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with a Swedish sovereign technology firm possessing an investment-grade credit rating, intending to lease approximately 30MW of computing capacity at its data center for a term of up to 10 years. Under the agreement, Hive will deploy approximately 25MW of IT computing capacity and plans to utilize up to 10,000 Nvidia GB300 GPUs. However, the LOI currently remains subject to further negotiations and the signing of a final definitive agreement. (DataCenterDynamics)
CZ previously mentioned in an interview that “if Satoshi’s address remains inactive for a long time after Bitcoin’s quantum-resistant upgrade, the relevant Bitcoin should be frozen,” sparking widespread discussion within the community.He Yi stated that the potential impact of quantum computing on the existing Bitcoin encryption system has long been a core topic of debate in the industry. CZ’s suggestion is not his personal original idea but rather a response proposal that has long existed within the Bitcoin community. By raising it in a public interview, his intention was merely to bring the technical security issue into the mainstream and broaden the scope of discussion.She noted that Bitcoin has undergone multiple forks while maintaining network stability, and there is no need for pessimism when facing quantum risks. Security challenges can be addressed through community collaboration to find solutions. The value of entrepreneurs lies in exploring feasible paths amid industry challenges, and any final disposal plans will ultimately be determined through the consensus mechanism of the Bitcoin community.

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, stated on the X platform that he is unsure whether Bitcoin is at a cycle bottom. A logarithmic chart he released indicates that, from a traditional cycle perspective, Bitcoin still appears far from a bottom, with each major cycle having touched the realized price before; if this time it does not, perhaps "it's different this time." When the price approaches the cost basis of investors, the risk-reward ratio significantly improves.
