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.

Humanity released an incident update stating that its H token was subject to a coordinated attack on Ethereum and BSC on the evening of June 8, resulting in approximately $36 million worth of tokens stolen and dumped across both chains. The project disclosed that the attack originated from a compromised employee laptop, which led to the leakage of multiple owner keys for the Gnosis Safe controlling the Hyperlane bridge ProxyAdmin. On Ethereum, the attacker seized ownership of the ProxyAdmin and upgraded the contract to a malicious implementation, transferring approximately 141.2 million H tokens in a single transaction. On BSC, after similarly gaining control of the ProxyAdmin, the attacker deployed a malicious implementation with infinite minting capabilities, minting 200 million H tokens in two transactions and continuously dumping them. Humanity has suspended deposits and withdrawals on the affected cross-chain bridge and is cooperating with exchanges and law enforcement to investigate the incident and seek partial recovery of the stolen funds.
According to an independent analyst report by Markus Thielen on June 9, just days remain before SpaceX’s IPO, and market expectations continue to intensify. There is currently little indication that SpaceX will raise its expected offering price of $135, suggesting the targeted fundraising amount of $7.5 billion has already been substantially subscribed. Meanwhile, pre-IPO synthetic perpetual contracts tied to SpaceX are trading at $157 on Hyperliquid and $169 on Binance—both significantly above the expected offering price—with implied valuations on both platforms approaching $2 trillion. Although prices have retreated from earlier highs near $200, prediction markets still assign a 68% probability that SpaceX’s valuation will exceed $2 trillion by year-end, reflecting traders’ broad expectation of a strong IPO performance.
Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Bitcoin's price has retraced approximately 20% over the past month, with two key on-chain indicators showing sustained market sentiment pressure. Among them, Bitcoin's MVRV Z-score has dropped from 0.95 a month ago to 0.32, far below the historical average of 1.71, indicating that the previous valuation premium has largely been digested and the market has entered a range more conducive to long-term accumulation.Meanwhile, Bitcoin's 7-day simple moving average of Net Realized Profit/Loss has been in negative territory for 22 consecutive days, meaning the market has been completing transactions at a loss since May 18. The indicator hit a low of approximately -$1.2 billion on June 6 and has since slightly recovered to around -$1.1 billion. Although market pressure is evident, it remains below the extreme levels of approximately -$2.2 billion seen during the 2022 bear market capitulation phase.Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that currently, a large number of holders are selling Bitcoin below their cost basis, reflecting significant market fear and capitulation sentiment. However, the MVRV Z-score remains above 0, suggesting that the market has not yet entered a deeply undervalued zone, nor has it presented a historically significant value trough.He believes that combining these two indicators, while market sentiment is relatively weak, valuations have clearly cooled down. Going forward, key focus points will be whether the Net Realized Profit/Loss can return above the zero line and whether the MVRV Z-score can maintain a positive value. If the MVRV Z-score falls below 0, or realized losses move closer to the extreme levels of 2022 once again, it could signal the onset of a deeper phase of market capitulation.
Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
Analyst Aylo stated that Bitcoin’s current price rebound is not driven by the recent buying news but rather a technical correction following severe overselling. The current price level has cleared the February lows, creating conditions for a rebound, and this purchase has alleviated market concerns about “Saylor turning into a seller.” Aylo also cautioned that if U.S. equities experience greater volatility, there remains a possibility—particularly in June—of forming a slightly lower new low before rebounding, and predicted that the year’s final bottom will emerge later this year. Additionally, Aylo believes external concerns over Strategy’s large-scale BTC sell-offs are an overinterpretation: while the company may sell a small amount of BTC to repay debt, the likelihood of a substantial sell-off is extremely low.
Bitfinex Alpha's latest report indicates that Bitcoin has entered a deeper correction phase, dropping to a low of $59,200 on June 5, a cumulative 53% decline from its all-time high in October 2025. This decline is primarily driven by record outflows from spot ETFs, derivative deleveraging, and sustained pressure from a high-interest-rate macroeconomic environment. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note currently remains above 4.45%, further dampening market expectations for a Fed rate cut.On-chain and fund flow data suggest the current market is closer to a "distribution phase" than "panic selling." The spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) has turned significantly negative after strong accumulation from April to May, indicating that recent buyers are steadily exiting. Meanwhile, the cost basis for short-term holders has fallen below the True Market Mean of $77,800, meaning a large number of new investors are in unrealized loss positions, creating significant selling pressure for any potential rebound. As the price approaches the overall realized cost basis of around $53,900, the characteristic of reducing positions on bounces is becoming more pronounced.At the macro level, the US economy continues to grow, but inflation is eroding real household income. The job market remains robust, with job openings hitting a nearly two-year high and continued job creation exceeding replacement levels. Sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and leisure and hospitality are all expanding. However, inflation is expected to continue outpacing wage growth, leading to a decline in real purchasing power and presenting the Fed with a more complex balance between maintaining employment and controlling inflation.The key driver of current market trends has shifted to real yields. Driven by rising energy prices and geopolitical risks, inflation expectations are heating up, pushing both nominal and real yields on US Treasuries higher. Higher real yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, prompting investors to reassess their allocation to risk assets. Bitcoin has been the first to feel the impact, with US spot ETFs experiencing their largest outflows since launch. The market has also shifted from betting on rate cuts to pricing in the risk of "higher for longer" interest rates. Bitfinex Alpha believes that, in the current phase, the trajectory of real yields has become the most important variable influencing performance in both traditional financial and digital asset markets.Despite short-term pressure, the institutionalization process continues. The report notes that Securitize's approval to list on the New York Stock Exchange signals that tokenization infrastructure is further integrating into the traditional financial system. Concurrently, the US GENIUS Act is advancing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, bringing issuers under compliance requirements similar to those for traditional financial institutions. The institutio
According to BIT’s official Chinese-language account (@BITofficial_CN) market recap, the crypto market as a whole faced pressure last week. BTC declined from approximately $73,400 on June 1 to around $63,100 on Monday this week, with an intraday low of $61,400; ETH also fell in tandem to roughly $1,680. On the funding front, BTC spot ETFs recorded net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, totaling approximately $4.4 billion in outflows. Compounded by whale selling and concerns over Mt. Gox wallet transfers, short-term selling pressure continued to intensify. As BTC approaches the critical support level of $60,000, the market posted an initial rebound within the past 24 hours. Going forward, key factors to monitor include whether ETF inflows resume, whether the $60,000 support level holds, and how this week’s CPI data impacts risk sentiment.
BIT's weekly market review indicates the crypto market continued its weakness last week. BTC fell from approximately $73,400 on June 1st to around $63,100 on Monday morning this week, dipping to about $61,400 during trading on June 4th. ETH faced similar pressure, dropping to around $1,680.BIT stated that the core factor behind this adjustment remains financial pressure. The BTC spot ETF experienced net outflows for 13 consecutive trading days, totaling approximately $4.4 billion. Meanwhile, whale sell-offs and expectations surrounding the transfer of Mt.Gox-related wallets further exacerbated market selling pressure.The report points out that as BTC approached the key support level of $60,000, the market has seen a preliminary rebound in the past 24 hours. Going forward, key areas to monitor include whether ETF capital continues to flow back, whether the $60,000 support level can hold, and the impact of this week's U.S. CPI data on market risk appetite.

A “Satoshi-era” address—unused since March 2011 and holding 35.55 BTC (approximately $2.54 million)—transferred funds this week. On-chain data shows that on June 2, the address sent 15 BTC to a new address, with the remaining 20.55 BTC retained as change. When the address first received Bitcoin, its price was under $1.
Lookonchain posted on platform X, stating that as of the update on June 5, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a single-day net outflow of 196 BTC, worth $11.89 million, and a 7-day net outflow of 23,135 BTC, worth $1.41 billion; Ethereum ETFs recorded a single-day net inflow of 10,082 ETH, worth $16.04 million, and a 7-day net outflow of 117,037 ETH, worth $186.21 million.

According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ai Yi, an entity affiliated with Hex Trust has accumulated 72.23 million H tokens over the past 4 hours, representing 2.55% of the token's circulating supply. In April, the foundation made significant adjustments to the token vesting schedule for early investors, either extending the unlock period or distributing the full token amount at a discount (a 70% reduction) in a single payment on June 26. Hex Trust is one of the strategic investors, and it remains unclear whether this asset transfer is related to the upcoming unlock.
Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale Research, stated that the market experienced a new wave of volatility following Strategy's disclosure on June 1st of selling 32 Bitcoin. Although the sale is negligible compared to its holdings of approximately 840,000 Bitcoin (worth about $55 billion), this rare reduction move still impacted market sentiment.Pandl pointed out that the more noteworthy development is the performance of Strategy’s Variable Rate Preferred Stock STRC (Stretch). The product has a design target price of around $100 and currently offers a dividend yield of 11.5%. When the stock price falls below $100, it indicates that investors are demanding a higher rate of return, which may force the company to increase dividend levels. This would increase future cash flow pressure and potentially compel it to sell more Bitcoin for fundraising, further weighing on BTC prices. Strategy's leveraged Bitcoin reserve model is facing challenges. At current STRC and MSTR share price levels, the company's ability to continue large-scale Bitcoin accumulation may be constrained.However, Pandl noted that in the long term, the migration of Bitcoin holdings from highly leveraged digital asset reserve companies to more diversified corporate balance sheets will help enhance market resilience and improve Bitcoin's long-term value support. He expects Bitcoin to resume its upward trend in the coming months, but its near-term performance may lag behind crypto asset sectors that benefit more directly from regulatory clarity.
Binance has announced an upgrade of its NFT services to Binance Wallet. Starting June 3, 2026, users holding transferable NFTs will have a one-month window to withdraw their NFTs to Binance Wallet or another compatible wallet. After the upgrade is complete, Binance’s centralized exchange platform will discontinue support for its existing NFT services on July 3, 2026; any transferable NFTs not withdrawn by then will become inaccessible. Non-transferable NFTs—by design—cannot be withdrawn and will likewise become inaccessible after July 3. To support this migration, Binance is also launching a fee reimbursement campaign for withdrawals of both non-CR7 NFTs and CR7 NFTs.
