Odaily Odaily News Recently, @leto_bao, who became an internet sensation with the persona of achieving "financial freedom through stock trading at ByteDance with 30 million RMB," responded to rumors on the X platform. He claimed, "I have returned to my hometown. I work as a security guard in an office building during the day, deliver food at night, set up a barbecue stall in the early morning, and sell breakfast at the school gate in the morning. I only sleep 3 hours a day, shuttling between McDonald's and hospital outpatient clinics. I dare not go home because debt collectors block my door every day. For meals, I open free treasure chests; for showers, I use the company bathroom. I have already reached a repayment plan with the bank, expecting to clear the debt in 50 years. Please stop making fun of my suffering."The community speculated that it might be for entertainment effect, a playful response using memes. However, some people questioned in the comments that he still hasn't provided solid proof of his investments, suggesting it's merely hype. Others even claimed to have found records of his previous failed attempts to build an online presence.Subsequently, he stated bluntly: "I will no longer post in Chinese. The Chinese circle on X is very toxic—filled with anger, bot accounts, and no real discussion. Everyone is chasing creator rewards rather than genuine communication. My posts haven't received any feedback worth responding to. I feel I can get more from the English community here." However, the viewership of his subsequent tweets plummeted from hundreds of thousands to only around 40,000 to 70,000.
According to official sources, TAC issued a statement regarding the significant price drop in the past 24 hours, stating that the protocol was not attacked, on-chain assets are secure, and the system is operating normally; the team and early investors did not participate in the sell-off, relevant tokens remain in the lock-up and vesting period, and there is no possibility of unlocking at this stage.
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
Bybit’s latest options weekly report states that all four directional predictions for this week were fulfilled: BTC hit a low of $59,130—surpassing the prior target range of $65,000–$67,000. Opening last week at $73,760 and plunging to $59,130, BTC recorded its largest single-week decline since the FTX collapse (roughly −20%). It has since rebounded to $63,000. Three bearish catalysts recently converged: stronger-than-expected NFP data reigniting rate-hike expectations; SpaceX’s IPO siphoning liquidity; and Strategy selling BTC for the first time in four years. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a record net outflow of $1.7 billion for the week. ETH’s daily RSI plunged to a historic low of 12.78, while BTC’s daily RSI dropped to 15.45—raising the probability of a technical rebound, though trend reversal remains unconfirmed. DVOL surged from its historical low of 35 to 55 before retreating to 48; put options have already been profitably closed. Currently, chasing long positions is discouraged. BTC faces significant resistance between $63,000 and $65,000. Entry should await either the June 10 CPI release or DVOL falling back to 40—or until BTC convincingly closes above $65,000.
market maker Wintermute released a weekly market analysis report stating that Bitcoin fell below $62,000 last week, with a weekly decline of approximately 14%, hitting a new low since September 2024. Wintermute believes that although Strategy founder Michael Saylor disclosed the sale of 32 BTC, drawing market attention, the scale of this transaction is negligible. The real reason for the market's weakness is the continuous reduction of positions by U.S. institutional investors and the outflow of funds from spot Bitcoin ETFs.Wintermute pointed out that the U.S. added 172,000 non-farm jobs in May, far exceeding the market expectation of approximately 80,000. Meanwhile, job openings rose to a near two-year high, and the service price index hit a new high since August 2022. Strong economic data has weakened market expectations for a Fed rate cut, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield to 4.55%, creating a "good news is bad news" macro environment that pressures risk assets.Meanwhile, the rally in AI concept stocks has shown signs of weakening, with the Nasdaq index falling 4.7% for the week and the S&P 500 recording its first weekly decline since March. Wintermute believes that the pullback in the AI sector, rising yields, and the upcoming SpaceX IPO have collectively dampened market risk appetite.In the crypto market, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for 10 consecutive trading days as of May 30, with total outflows of approximately $2.97 billion. The net outflow in May reached $2.43 billion, marking the worst monthly performance since 2026. Wintermute OTC data shows that retail funds continue to flow into U.S. stocks, while U.S. institutional investors have recently turned bearish and are leading the selling.However, Wintermute believes there are also positive signals in the market, including long-term capital gradually building positions at current price levels. From a perspective of more than one year, Bitcoin's risk-reward ratio is becoming more attractive. The report stated that the SpaceX IPO on June 12 will serve as an important barometer for observing market risk appetite. If the issuance is smoothly absorbed, it could help boost market sentiment; conversely, it may exacerbate the pressure on risk assets.
: STRC once fell to $97.11, then rebounded and closed at $98.57. Attention is being paid to Strategy's ability to continue using this preferred security as a financing tool through ATM issuance.After repurchasing $1.5 billion in convertible debt, Strategy's cash reserves dropped to approximately $871 million, only covering about six months of its estimated $1.7 billion annual preferred dividend obligations. Strive's perpetual preferred security SATA remains near its $100 par value, supported by an approximately 13% dividend yield and the company's plan to launch daily dividend payments.
Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company LM Funding America (LMFA) released its unaudited operational report for April 2026, disclosing data on its Bitcoin treasury holdings and mining output. As of April 30, the company held 334 Bitcoins, valued at a total of $25.3 million based on a price of approximately $75,800 per coin that month.

The company's total mining machine count remains at 7,508 units, with a stable network hashrate of 0.79 EH/s, showing no change in hashing power scale.
gaming-focused blockchain Ronin has announced its migration to an Ethereum Layer 2 network on May 12. The underlying architecture will utilize the OP Stack and integrate EigenDA as the data availability layer. Chain operations are expected to be paused for approximately 10 hours during the migration. The team advises users to unstake their RON in advance or allow the system to handle it automatically after the migration is complete.Following the upgrade, RON's annual inflation rate is projected to decrease from over 20% to less than 1%. Additionally, the treasury will gain new revenue streams from staking rewards, Sequencer net profits, and Marketplace fees. Furthermore, Ronin has introduced a "proof of allocation" incentive mechanism based on "Builder Score," distributing RON rewards to ecosystem builders on a monthly basis.
