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.

Taiko, an Ethereum Layer 2 project, announced that its fix has been reviewed by independent security experts. The mainnet will resume operations in four steps, including: deploying the fix and confirming the chain's final state is correct, ensuring there are no invalid checkpoints or attacker-submitted records that could be accepted; replenishing cross-chain bridge liquidity to ensure all L2 assets maintain a 1:1 reserve; restoring network operations and reopening L2 transfers, swaps, and trading functions; and having the security committee propose lifting the bridge suspension to fully restore asset deposit and withdrawal functionality.Taiko stated that during the initial reopening period, relatively conservative withdrawal limits will be set as an additional security measure, but this is not expected to affect users' normal asset operations.
