You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s take a closer look at the overall market sentiment and the latest insights together.Bitcoin dipped below the $100,000 mark at the height of geopolitical tensions over the weekend, following the U.S.'s entry into the Iran–Israel conflict. However, strong buying momentum at the start of the new week helped BTC reclaim this critical psychological threshold. After falling to a low of $98,000, Bitcoin surged to as high as $106,000. A brief pullback after such a sharp rally is considered natural. Holding above the $100,000 level continues to serve as both a technical and psychological support line.As for Ethereum, the $2,100 zone highlighted in our previous analysis has proven to be a solid support area. With buying interest emerging from this level, ETH quickly climbed to the short‑term target range around $2,400. The $2,380 mark is currently being watched as near‑term support, while $2,430 stands as the closest resistance level.Crypto NewsIran and Israel have declared a 12‑hour ceasefire.Trump on the Fed interest rate: “We should be at least two to three points lower.”Goolsbee: “If the uncertainty over tariffs is removed, we should continue to cut rates.”Hassett: “There is no reason for the Fed not to cut rates.”Trump Media has approved a $400 million share buyback.Strategy purchased 245 #Bitcoin at an average price of $105,856.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:SEI → increased by 38.5% to $0.28162748.KTA → increased by 31.4% to $0.76449666.TEL → increased by 24.4% to $0.00427768.JASMY → increased by 24.4% to $0.01407185.DOG → increased by 23.0% to $0.00340695.Top Losers:VENOM → declined by 2.6% to $0.16444289.USDB → declined by 1.8% to $0.98318051.LGCT → declined by 1.2% to $1.70.BTSE → declined by 1.2% to $1.67.XAUT → declined by 1.0% to $3,336.58.Fear Index:Bitcoin: 54 (Neutral)Ethereum: 35 (Fear)Dominance:Bitcoin: 65.36% ▲ 0.02%Ethereum: 9.06% ▼ 0.25%Daily Total Net ETF InflowsBTC ETFs: $350.60 millionETH ETFs: $100.70 millionData to Watch Today• 5:00 p.m. – Conference Board (CB) Consumer Confidence (June)Expectation: 99.4 | Previous: 98.0• 5:00 p.m. – Fed Chair Powell's CommentsGlobal MarketsU.S. stock markets closed the day in positive territory following a brief ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

FET Technical AnalysisLooking at the FET daily chart, we can see a clear descending channel pattern which has worked properly since the beginning of 2024. Falling Channel Structure The price of the coin is currently trading in the middle band of this descending channel and we have a significant support zone around $0.65–$0.70. The price breaking down this important support zone is trading above the support area again. The price can go down first to the level of $0.53 in case of daily closing below the important level $0.65 and then it can retreat to the level of around $0.33 which is the channel trend support.The level of $0.87 is only possible if the price closes above the level of $0.70 in terms of upward movements. Above this price level, we have the level $1 which is the trend resistance level. Technically, it is highly possible that a breakout will occur in case of next trend test.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, the user is responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during the transactions.
A surprise announcement following the tensions in the Middle East has brought a spring atmosphere to the crypto markets. Former US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire had been reached between Israel and Iran. This development caused sharp increases in many cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA), after the sharp fluctuations experienced over the weekend.In a statement he made on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, “Iran will officially begin a ceasefire and Israel will join the ceasefire at the 12th hour. At the end of the 24th hour, the world will officially declare the 12-day war over.” Although there was no official confirmation from either government, the markets reacted positively to this statement.ETH, SOL and ADA increased by nearly 10 percentThe most striking increase in cryptocurrencies was experienced on the Ethereum, Solana and Cardano fronts. While ETH climbed above $ 2,400, Solana rose to $ 145 and ADA rose to $ 0.59. These movements represent an increase of approximately 7 percent for each asset in the last 24 hours.The market, which was trying to recover after the liquidation of approximately $600 million in long positions at the beginning of the week, as we reported the other day, has taken on a buying structure again with this new news. Other leading altcoins such as XRP, BNB and Dogecoin also gained between 4 percent and 6 percent. There is a slight relief in the macro outlookThis rise was not limited to crypto assets only. Brent oil fell by 1.8 percent, while US stock futures also turned positive. Although the truth of the ceasefire has not yet been confirmed by the official authorities, investors' risk appetite has started to increase again.SignalPlus research director Augustine Fan said, “We think the market will normalize in a short time and leave the recent geopolitical developments behind. However, the recent increase in Bitcoin purchases and the tendency of corporate companies to create BTC reserves may pave the way for a new correction.” Bitcoin gathers strength around $105,000On the other hand, Bitcoin continues to consolidate around $105,000. The price action in recent weeks shows that BTC remains resilient even in an environment of macro uncertainty. HashKey Eco Labs CEO Kay Lu said, “Bitcoin’s ability to hold above $100,000 indicates that this asset is now mature and different from traditional risk-off signals.” “The renewed momentum of institutional inflows and ETF demand strengthens Bitcoin’s position as a long-term macro hedge.” However, according to some analysts, this rise may be followed by profit taking, especially in tokens that have gained a lot of value, such as ETH. While short-term volatility is likely to continue in the market, it is stated that investors should remain cautious.
Crypto investment products continue to attract investor interest, even at a time when global markets are shaken by geopolitical tensions. According to asset management firm CoinShares’ data dated June 20, 2025, a total of $1.24 billion in net inflows were made into cryptocurrency investment products last week. This data shows that net inflows have moved to the tenth week in a row. Thus, the total net inflow since the beginning of the year reached a record level of $15.1 billion.Bitcoin and Ethereum attract strong interestThe majority of weekly inflows were again made up of leading cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin-based products were the most preferred asset, attracting $1.1 billion in new investments. Ethereum, on the other hand, attracted attention with a weekly inflow of $123.8 million. This trend in Ethereum shows that the inflow series, which has been ongoing for nine weeks, continues and has reached a total of $2.2 billion.Interestingly, there was an outflow of $1.4 million from Short Bitcoin (taking a position against the BTC price) products. This indicates that investors have confidence in Bitcoin in the long term despite price corrections and consider declines as buying opportunities.Moderate interest in altcoinsMore modest inflows were seen on the altcoin front. Solana closed the week with an inflow of $2.8 million, while $2.7 million flowed into XRP. While products based on the Sui network experienced a slight outflow of $0.5 million; Small-scale inflows were recorded in altcoins such as Cardano, Chainlink and Litecoin:Solana: +$2.8 millionXRP: +$2.7 millionSui: -$0.5 millionLitecoin: +$0.2 millionCardano: +$0.3 millionChainlink: +$0.6 millionMulti-asset products: -$5.8 millionThose in the "Other" category: +$2.7 million The largest inflow is from the US, iShares is aheadRegionally, the US led the entire market with a weekly inflow of $1.25 billion. Canada ($20.9 million) and Germany ($10.9 million) were also among the countries that experienced inflows. On the other hand, there was an outflow of $32.6 million from Hong Kong and $7.7 million from Switzerland. This situation shows that geopolitical risks are pushing investors to be cautious in some regions.Among fund providers, BlackRock’s iShares ETFs led the way with $1.28 billion in inflows last week. Grayscale saw only $13 million in inflows, while some major players like Fidelity and ARK Invest saw significant outflows:iShares (BlackRock): +$1,280 millionGrayscale: +$13 millionFidelity: -$62 millionARK 21Shares: -$188 millionBitwise: +$33 millionProShares: +$71 million21Shares AG: +$1 millionCoinShares XBT Provider: -$15 million
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy and known for its institutional Bitcoin investments, continues to accumulate Bitcoin without slowing down despite the volatility in the cryptocurrency markets. According to the 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company purchased 245 more Bitcoins (BTC) for approximately $26 million between June 16-22. The average purchase price was recorded as $105,856. With this latest investment, Strategy's total Bitcoin assets reached 592,345 BTC. This amount corresponds to 2.8 percent of Bitcoin, which has a maximum supply of 21 million. It is stated that the company acquired these assets at a total cost of $41.9 billion, and the average purchase price was $70,681. When evaluated at today's market prices, Strategy's BTC portfolio has reached a value of over $60 billion, with an unrealized profit of approximately $18 billion. Funding provided through STRK and STRF salesStrategy’s acquisition was financed with proceeds from the company’s perpetual preferred stock. The company sold 166,566 shares of STRK (Strike) for $17.4 million, and 84,354 shares of STRF (Strife) for $8.7 million. There is currently an additional $20.6 billion in STRK sales program, and approximately $1.97 billion in STRF sales. In addition, no sales of the company’s Class A common stock, which trades under the symbol MSTR, were made last week, but there is a potential $18.6 billion in funding available through this channel.Strategy’s long-term goals are also significant. The company aims to raise a total of $84 billion in capital by 2027 with its strategic plan called “42/42.” The initial target was set at $42 billion, but that target was doubled due to strong demand and strategic growth.Strategy’s newest preferred stock, STRD, offers “high yield potential” for shareholders, according to TD Cowen analysts. The stock pays a fixed dividend of 10 percent annually but is not convertible. While STRK offers a balanced investment with an 8 percent fixed dividend and a convertible structure, STRF is a more conservative option offering fixed and cumulative dividends of 10 percent.Saylor’s new buy signal: “Nothing stops this orange”Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor shared an updated image of the company’s Bitcoin portfolio on social media on Sunday, using the phrase “Nothing Stops This Orange.” The message was interpreted as a sign of a new buy, based on similar statements from Saylor in the past. And many people were right in their prediction.The institutional Bitcoin model is spreadingThe “Bitcoin treasury” model pioneered by Strategy is increasingly being adopted by companies. Names such as Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, Trump Media and even GameStop have also started to follow suit. On the other hand, Strategy’s market value has reached $101 billion, trading well above the company’s net asset value. While this has caused concern among some investors, its low debt ratio and lack of a payment obligation until 2028 keep the company’s financial structure strong.MSTR stock closed up 0.2 percent last week at $369.70. However, Bitcoin’s 4.9 percent decline following the conflicts in the Middle East and the US attacks on Iran caused MSTR shares to fall 1.9 percent in the premarket on Monday. Still, the stock has gained 23.2 percent since the beginning of the year.
The escalating geopolitical tension in the Middle East has caused a major shake-up in cryptocurrency markets. US President Donald Trump's declaration of the airstrikes on Iran's three nuclear facilities as "successful" and his statements that stronger retaliation would be carried out if necessary have caused panic among investors. These developments, which came after the clashes between Iran and Israel, have created anxiety in global markets. Cryptocurrency investors in particular have suffered heavy losses due to the sudden increase in volatility. This sharp decline became quite obvious on the evening of June 22. The market later recovered slightly.Crypto market value fell to $3.1 trillionIn the shadow of these developments, the total value of the cryptocurrency market fell by 1.50 percent in the last 24 hours to $3.1 trillion. There was a significant increase of 26.23 percent in trading volume in the same period, and the total volume reached $136.38 billion.The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), fell 1.27 percent to $101,497. Ethereum (ETH) lost 1.99 percent to $2,241. XRP, on the other hand, is trading at $2.02, down 2.52 percent. While the level of fear in the market also increased, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell to 37.Liquidations reached $650 million: The bulls were trappedTotal crypto liquidations in the last 24 hours reached $650 million. While these liquidations affected more than 185 thousand investors, the majority of the positions (approximately $504.95 million) were long positions. In other words, while most investors had taken positions that prices would rise, these positions were closed at a loss with the sudden pullback in the market. The largest liquidation of the day was a long position of $35.45 million in the BTC-USDT pair on the HTX exchange. When looking at liquidations in terms of exchanges, Bybit led the way with $252.46 million, followed by Binance ($137.57 million) and Gate.io ($96.57 million). More than 90 percent of liquidations on exchanges such as Bitmex, Bitfinex and CoinEx consisted of long positions. This reveals how dominant the upward expectations are in the market and how sharply these expectations were broken.Losses deepened in altcoinsWhile Bitcoin's market dominance reached the highest level in recent cycles with 64.9 percent, the weakness in altcoins also became visible. Ethereum's market dominance fell to 8.7 percent. However, despite everything, some notable increases were also seen in the market. Story IP, which has a micro-market value, became the day’s top earner with a daily increase of 11.35 percent, followed by Four with 10.39 percent and Sonic with 7.68 percent.
Metaplanet announced that the company has purchased an additional 1,111 Bitcoins as part of its Bitcoin treasury operations. The company’s total BTC holdings now stand at 11,111, with a combined value of over $1.07 billion. Metaplanet purchased the cryptocurrency for an average price of 15,535,502 Japanese yen (approximately $106,408). The company’s shares (3350T), which are traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, fell 5.05 percent in the last 24 hours to 1,690 yen. However, the stock has increased by over 373 percent since the beginning of the year.Metaplanet purchased 1,111 Bitcoins Japanese technology firm Metaplanet announced on Monday, June 23 that it has purchased an additional 1,111 Bitcoins (BTC). The company's total BTC holdings thus reached 11,111 units, leaving Hut8 behind and ranking eighth among institutional BTC holders. The total return on BTC assets since the beginning of 2025 has reached 306.7 percent. This new move by Metaplanet coincides with a period of increasing geopolitical risks. With the re-emergence of Iran-Israel tensions over the weekend, the Bitcoin price briefly fell below $ 100,000. This decline turned into a "bottom-buy" opportunity for the company. However, on the same day, Metaplanet shares lost 4 percent of their value and fell to 1,712 Japanese Yen in the Tokyo session.Average purchase price $95,869Metaplanet's new investment of 1,111 BTC cost approximately $ 118.2 million. The company's total BTC investment thus reached $ 1.07 billion. The annual average purchase price is $ 95,869 per BTC. The company, which had only 1,000 BTC at the beginning of 2025, quickly passed the 10,000 BTC mark with an aggressive purchasing strategy.Last week, Metaplanet completed its 20th to 22nd series of stock purchase rights as part of the agreements made with EVO FUND. The funding of 558.7 million Japanese Yen provided by the fund was directed directly to BTC purchases.Purpose: 1% of the entire BTC supplyThe company's long-term goal is extremely ambitious: to purchase 1 percent of Bitcoin's total supply, or 210,000 BTC. Metaplanet had previously announced its plan to create a $5.4 billion fund in line with this goal in recent months. If this goal is achieved, Metaplanet will achieve a first in the industry with both its BTC holdings and its crypto strategy.On the other hand, the decline in Metaplanet's share price is not only related to the company's BTC purchases, but also to the increasing perception of global risk. Following news that the US had launched attacks targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, selling pressure intensified in the crypto market. Iran’s announcement that it was temporarily closing the Strait of Hormuz also brought about major fluctuations in the energy market. Amid these developments, the price of Bitcoin fell below the $100,000 level on Sunday, but as of the time of writing, it has risen again above $101,000.

Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin faced heightened volatility over the weekend as the United States became involved in the ongoing Iran–Israel conflict. Despite global tensions, BTC managed to hold its price above the $100,000 mark.After briefly dipping to the $98,000 range, Bitcoin rebounded and tested the $102,130 resistance level once again. The $96,300–$97,900 zone is acting as a strong support area on the downside. In the short term, the next upward target is located at $103,800.On the Ethereum front, the recent market-driven decline was met with buying interest at a critical level. The $2,073–$2,115 range served as a key turning point.

You Can Find Today’s Edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” Below, Featuring a Roundup of the Most Important Developments from Both Global and Local Markets. Let’s Analyze the Broader Market Sentiment and Latest Insights Together.Bitcoin managed to stay strong despite a challenging week in terms of data and developments. BTC, which is firmly priced above $100,000, has once again reached the resistance zone of $106,600–$107,200. In addition to this horizontal resistance, a trendline resistance is also in play. A breakout above this zone could pave the way for a new all-time high (ATH), with $110,000 and then $114,000 as potential targets. On the downside, the $104,900 support level awaits us. If this support level is broken, the $102,100 and $100,900 support levels emerge as critical resistances.On the Ethereum front, the rising channel pattern we mentioned previously continues to hold. ETH, which is rebounding from the trend support, is experiencing a significant rise as we head into the weekend. The horizontal and channel support, which is around $2,500 on average, continues to hold strong. The next target will be the $2,620 level.Crypto News• An Ohio bill exempting Bitcoin payments under $200 from taxes has passed the House of Representatives.• Fetch Foundation will carry out a $50 million $FET token buyback.• Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) kept interest rates unchanged.• X CEO Yaccarino: Users will soon be able to invest or trade on the social media platform.• Semler Scientific has announced its three-year plan and intends to purchase 105,000 Bitcoin.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:• GT → Increased by 12.8% to reach $17.20.• KAIA → Increased by 12.6% to reach $0.19770911.• IP → Increased by 11.4% to reach $2.90.• HNT → Increased by 11.0% to reach $2.55.• SEI → Increased by 10.9% to reach $0.2017996.Top Losers:• CHEX → Declined by 7.3% to $0.2022507.• RAY → Declined by 6.4% to $2.14.• AB → Declined by 5.5% to $0.01467079.• MORPHO → Declined by 4.9% to $1.29.• AERO → Declined by 4.7% to $0.87750806.Fear Index:• Bitcoin: 55 (Neutral)• Ethereum: 41 (Fear)Dominance:• Bitcoin: 64.86% ▲ 0.05%• Ethereum: 9.48% ▼ 0.04%Daily Total Net ETF Inflows• BTC ETFs: $388.30 million• ETH ETFs: $19.10 millionGlobal MarketsWe previously mentioned speculation that the U.S. might intervene militarily in Iran.

The cryptocurrency market is holding its breath as it awaits the expiration of today's massive options contract. A total of $4.11 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options will expire. This development could have a significant impact on the short-term price movements of both assets, which have been losing value in recent days. Bitcoin makes up the majority of the options volume: According to today's data, $3.5 billion worth of contracts are expiring on the BTC side and approximately $565 million on the ETH side. This indicates that volatility in the markets may increase. According to Deribit data, 33,972 Bitcoin options are expiring today. This number has increased compared to last week. On Ethereum, 224,509 contracts will expire. Last week, this figure was 246,849. Balance in Bitcoin, optimism prevails in EthereumWhen looking at the options expiring for Bitcoin, the "maximum pain" price is determined as $ 105,000. The maximum pain price is known as the point where investors will suffer the most loss, and prices are generally expected to converge to this level. In addition, the put-call ratio for BTC is at 1.00; in other words, investors are almost equally distributed between bullish and bearish expectations. This situation shows that the market is indecisive or in a consolidation process in the short term.On the Ethereum side, the picture is more optimistic. The maximum pain price for ETH is at $ 2,600. The fact that the current price is below this level shows that investors think the price will rise. The put-call ratio in ETH is 0.69, which shows that call options are the dominant. This ratio shows that investors are taking positions more in the bullish direction, in other words, the market is more positive in this asset.Markets may enter the weekend volatileThe days when option contracts expire are usually the times when short-term fluctuations occur in the markets. According to the "maximum pain" theory, prices tend to move towards the levels where options will suffer the most losses. Therefore, the price movements to be seen in both BTC and ETH today may develop depending on the levels concentrated especially in option positions.According to Deribit analysts, "While BTC exhibits a balanced positioning close to the maximum pain level, upward flows dominate on the ETH side. We will watch and see how the market will react this time." In other words, it was emphasized that investors should be careful. In addition to these developments, the increasing geopolitical tensions in recent days and the statements of US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell are also affecting investor sentiment. In particular, the possible military moves of the US in the Middle East and the increasing tension with Iran are strengthening the downward risk perception in the market.In summary, today's high-volume options expiration could cause short-term but sharp fluctuations in the crypto market. Both macroeconomic developments and geopolitical risks continue to play an important role in investors' strategies
In today's world where concerns about digital security are at their peak, one of the largest password leaks ever recorded has hit the agenda like a bombshell. According to data revealed by cybersecurity platform Cybernews; 16 billion passwords and login data, including user information related to major platforms such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Telegram, have been leaked onto the internet. This huge leak especially threatens the assets of cryptocurrency users.A frightening development for crypto investors: Passwords leakedThe cybersecurity world has been shaken by one of the largest data leaks ever recorded. According to the report published by the Cybernews platform, more than 16 billion user login information and passwords have been leaked onto the internet. This huge data set, which includes account information related to Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, GitHub and some government portals, poses a great danger especially for cryptocurrency users.However, the source of this leak is not directly the servers of technology giants. According to Cybernews researchers, this information was stolen from data kept by users in 3rd party applications, browser add-ons or cloud storage areas that were left unencrypted. In addition, much information was compromised through malware that was infecting user devices.The leaked data does not only consist of current information. Cybernews states that stolen data obtained from different sources in previous years has also been recirculated with this new package. In other words, the cyber debris of the past further increases today's risks.Crypto wallets are targetedCybersecurity experts emphasize that this leak may affect cryptocurrency users the most. The main reason for this is that many users store their wallet passwords, backup keys or recovery phrases in e-mail boxes or cloud-based note applications instead of secure physical areas. This allows hackers to access not only passwords but also wallets directly. Crypto assets are coins that cannot be retrieved or the transaction canceled once they are captured. Therefore, when a wallet's password or keywords fall into the hands of hackers, the risk of permanent theft of assets is much higher.Experts recommend activating two-factor authentication (2FA) systems in particular. It is also very important to store vital data such as crypto wallet information offline, for example in hardware wallets or physical copies.Tether CEO: Escape from the cloud is comingOne of the reactions to the leak came from Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer. Ardoino said, "The cloud has failed us again," and announced PearPass, a completely local and open-source password manager. According to Tether, this new application will store passwords and encryption keys only on the user device. It will need neither a server nor a cloud service.Ardoino, who introduced PearPass by saying, "No server, no cloud, no leak," argues that offline security systems will become much more critical in the future. In fact, he explained his vision in a podcast interview by saying, "We want to produce technologies that can work even in disaster scenarios like World War."It is unclear for now whether PearPass will integrate with Tether's other projects. However, it is known how much the company attaches importance to security and privacy with P2P solutions such as Pear Credit, which it has previously developed.

Cryptocurrency markets were eagerly awaiting the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision on Wednesday and the speech of Fed Chair Jerome Powell. In addition, US President Donald Trump's statements regarding the Iran-Israel tensions drew attention in the market. So, how did all this affect cryptocurrencies?The Fed's interest rate decision was announced in line with expectationsCryptocurrency markets generally maintained their resilience despite both the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision and the increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, there is a volatile picture beneath this calm outlook. Although major assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP and Solana (SOL) experienced short-term gains after the Fed kept interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% in line with expectations, a clear direction for investor sentiment still remains uncertain.The Fed’s economic projections released on Wednesday showed that two interest rate cuts were still on the table by the end of 2024, but expectations for 2026 and 2027 pointed to a slower rate cut process. Chairman Jerome Powell’s “wait-and-see” approach delayed markets from finding a clear direction, while also revealing the fragility of altcoins. In particular, artificial intelligence and real asset (RWA)-themed tokens lost 4.8% and 3%, respectively. Tensions are rising in the Middle EastOn the other hand, the escalating tensions in the Middle East were another factor that increased anxiety in the markets. News that the US was considering a direct military intervention in Iran suppressed risk appetite in both traditional and cryptocurrency classes.While the tension between Iran and Israel continues, remarkable statements continued to come from US President Donald Trump. Speaking to reporters, Trump stated that he wanted to end the conflicts in the region, but avoided giving a clear answer on whether the US would make a military move against Iran.Claiming that Iran was in a defenseless position, Trump said, “I can’t say we won’t strike Iran.” He added that he had called on the Iranian side to come to the White House, but that this opportunity was not taken advantage of. He stated that the country’s air defense systems had been largely disabled and that he had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who could also take on a possible mediation role.Trump indicated in his statements that patience with Iran was running out. He said, “We expect them to surrender, if they don’t, we will target military facilities,” and that possible scenarios were on the table. While acknowledging that no concrete gains had been made yet, he also emphasized that serious progress had been made.Trump, who drew attention to the fact that the coming days would be critical, stated that Iran had been posing a threat for years and that its desire to attain nuclear weapons capacity posed a great threat. “Next week will be very decisive, perhaps even sooner,” Trump said, signaling that developments in the region could take shape rapidly.Altcoins fell sharplyThis situation led to sharp sales, especially in altcoins. While XRP, Cardano (ADA) and Solana lost more than 1% in value in the last 24 hours, Dogecoin (DOGE) gave up its previous gains with a decline of nearly 10% on a weekly basis. Ethereum, on the other hand, erased its weekly gains and fell by 0.7%.Interest in Bitcoin ETFs continuesDespite all these developments, institutional interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US drew attention. While $389 million in new inflows were recorded in just one day on Wednesday, $19 million in additional funds were flowed into Ethereum ETFs. This reveals that investors continue to seek a “digital safe haven” against volatility.Despite its 13% increase since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has been on an indecisive course as of this week. “Bitcoin is caught between two worlds, neither responding to risk appetite nor bouncing on geopolitical risks like gold,” FxPro analyst Alex Kuptsikevich said.
The cryptocurrency markets are entering a new era in corporate interest in crypto assets. Six different companies listed on the US stock exchange (DDC Enterprise, Fold Holdings, BitMine Immersion Technologies, Prenetics, The Blockchain Group and Eyenovia) have taken an important step in this area by allocating a massive budget of $884 million in total to Bitcoin and the HYPE token. $834 million of the investments were allocated to Bitcoin, while $50 million was allocated to HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid platform.Institutional demand for Bitcoin is strengtheningHong Kong-based DDC Enterprise has raised $528 million to purchase 5,000 BTC over three years. This funding was obtained through a $300 million convertible note, a $200 million loan and a $26 million equity increase. The company started this strategic acquisition plan with 21 BTC. US-based fintech company Fold Holdings aims to increase its Bitcoin reserves with a $250 million equity acquisition fund. The company currently has 1,490 BTC in assets, and it is estimated that it can purchase approximately 2,368 more BTC with this fund at the current Bitcoin price. On the other hand, a mining company called BitMine Immersion Technologies raised funds with a $16.3 million share issue. The company, which purchased 100 BTC on June 9, 2025, reached a total Bitcoin asset of 154,167 BTC. The average purchase price was determined as $106,033. According to Ecoinimist data, 61 publicly traded companies currently hold more than 3% of the total Bitcoin supply. This rate represents a 142% increase compared to 2023.The Blockchain Group, based in France, announced on June 18, 2025 that it had purchased 182 Bitcoins (BTC) by spending approximately $19.6 million. With this purchase, the company's total BTC reserves reached 1,653, and it was stated that this amount is worth approximately $170 million at current prices. The purchase was financed through bond and stock issuance from institutional and individual investors, including UTXO Management, Moonlight Capital, Ludovic Chechin-Laurans and TOBAM. In addition, the $1.84 million resource obtained by cashing out 2.98 million share options was used to purchase approximately 16 BTC. While the company's BTC return since the beginning of the year has reached 1,173%, ALTBG shares fell 1% on the same day despite this development. Finally, Prenetics Global, a health technology company traded on Nasdaq, became the latest company to join this trend with a $20 million Bitcoin investment. The company purchased 187.42 BTC through Kraken. CEO Danny Yeung stated that this step is just the beginning, and that it heralds a new era where healthcare and blockchain technologies intersect. With its financially strengthened balance sheet and new strategic partnerships, Prenetics aims to be the leading Bitcoin treasury company in the healthcare sector. Former OKX COO Andy Cheung joined the company's board of directors, while Tracy Hoyos Lopez, known as Donald Trump's Bitcoin advisor, was added to the advisory team.Eyenovia enters the DeFi world: $50 million in HYPE tokenBiotechnology firm Eyenovia rebranded itself as Hyperion DeFi and invested $50 million in HYPE token. With this investment, the company purchased more than 1 million HYPE tokens and started staking these tokens through the Anchorage Digital platform. Thus, Eyenovia became the first public company in the US to strategically own a HYPE reserve.HYPE is a token with staking, airdrop, and governance functions that runs on Hyperliquid’s Layer-1 blockchain. It ranks 11th in the cryptocurrency rankings with a market value of $13.69 billion as of June 18, 2025.
Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex has announced that it has been subject to a major cyber attack. According to the statements, the attack targeted the exchange's hot wallets and while it was initially claimed that there was a loss of $48.65 million, it was later reported that this amount reached $73 million. The allegations regarding the attack were revealed by blockchain detective ZachXBT.Statement from NobitexNobitex stated in a statement it made on X (former Twitter) on June 18 that its technical teams detected unauthorized access to the system. The company announced that it suspended all access immediately after the attack and launched a comprehensive internal security investigation. The statement emphasized that users' funds in cold wallets were safe and that all losses would be covered by Nobitex's insurance fund and its own resources.Exchange officials said, "Nobitex is fully responsible for this incident. Our users' losses will be fully covered." The company's website and mobile application were also temporarily closed during the investigation.Who is behind the attack?Investigating the details of the attack, ZachXBT stated that the suspicious transactions took place on the Tron network and that the wallet address used by the hacker contained a striking phrase such as “TKFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEX…” The phrase “IRGC” (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) in the address raised the possibility that the attack could be based on political motivation.According to ZachXBT, the attack was not limited to the Tron network. Suspicious exits from wallets belonging to Nobitex also occurred on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains.Statement from the Israeli-linked hacker groupImmediately after the cyber attack, a hacker group identifying itself as “Gonjeshke Darande” (Turkish for “Sparrow of Prey”) claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement made on the social media platform X, the group described Nobitex as one of the Iranian regime’s means of financing terrorism and evading global sanctions. The group said: “Nobitex is at the heart of the regime’s efforts to finance terrorism around the world and is used as a primary tool to evade sanctions. That’s why we launched cyberattacks against the platform.”Furthermore, the group’s statements claimed that Nobitex employees are considered military personnel under Iranian law and that the platform is part of the country’s defense and intelligence infrastructure. The hackers threatened to release Nobitex’s source code and internal data within the next 24 hours.Iran-Israel tensions spill over into cyberspaceThis incident showed that the recent escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel has spilled over into the cryptocurrency world. The political and ideological conflicts between the two countries have escalated into open conflict with mutual missile attacks in recent weeks. This tension has also led to volatility in cryptocurrency markets. According to market data, approximately $1 billion worth of positions were liquidated in the market since the clashes began, but the Fear and Greed Index still remains in the “greed” zone.
