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.
The US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce its June interest rate decision today at 22:00 Turkish time. This decision, which will come after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on June 17-18, is also of great interest to the cryptocurrency market. While investors almost certainly see interest rates as being kept constant, the messages to be given by FED Chairman Jerome Powell and the economic projections to be updated will be decisive in terms of the direction of the markets. According to CME Group's "FedWatch" tool, the probability that the FED will keep interest rates constant at 4.25-4.50 percent at this meeting is 99.9 percent. The expectation of a rate cut in June is priced at only 0.1 percent. The same policy will most likely be maintained in July; the probability that interest rates will remain constant is 85.5 percent, while the expectation of a 25 basis point cut is only 14.5 percent. Source: CME Fed Watch Like former Fed chairmen Greenspan, Bernanke and Yellen, Jerome Powell has taken a more cautious stance in the latter stages of his term. According to Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, Powell follows in the footsteps of previous chairmen who wanted to end their term on a “hawkish” tone, reflecting both a determination to fight inflation and a desire to maintain political independence.Impact on crypto markets: Bitcoin feels the tensionThe impact of the Fed’s interest rate decisions on the cryptocurrency market has become the norm. The decision to be announced today is expected to have a significant impact, if not directly, through the economic forecasts and “dot plot” projections that will accompany it.“Interest rates are expected to remain stable. However, markets are fixated on dot plots. If only two interest rate cuts are expected from Fed officials, the ‘high interest rates for a long time’ narrative could strengthen. This could support the dollar and suppress interest in crypto.”Indeed, Bitcoin price, which is currently struggling to hold on above the $104,000 band, is under pressure due to the geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran. The possibility of conflict in the Middle East is pushing investors to take a more cautious position, while also increasing the upward pressure on inflation both in the US and globally. According to Matteo Greco, a senior analyst at Fineqia, “A 100 basis point interest rate cut was expected as we entered 2025. However, due to the strong labor market and inflation above the 2 percent target, this expectation has decreased to 50 basis points, and even 25 basis points in some scenarios.”Could the FED decision support Bitcoin?In the short term, “hawkish” FED policies may be suppressive for volatile assets like Bitcoin. However, the fact that high interest rates increase the borrowing cost of the US may increase interest in alternative stores of value in the long term. In this context, a positive environment may arise for assets with limited supply, such as gold and Bitcoin.
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 formed a mini trading range over the weekend. With the start of the new week, BTC moved upward and reached as high as $106,600. However, it faced short-term pullbacks from this level. It's worth noting that the $106,500–$107,300 range remains a key resistance zone. Despite global market uncertainty, Bitcoin is displaying strong bullish momentum. If buying pressure continues at this pace, a breakout above this zone could lead to a move toward the next resistance at $108,900. On the downside, holding above the $105,000 level is a positive sign, with the next major support area located at $103,900.As highlighted in our technical analysis section, Ethereum continues to trade within an ascending channel. The $2,580–$2,630 range is acting as a resistance zone. Ethereum appears to have been rejected from this region, briefly dropping to $2,530. However, reactionary buying has pushed the price back up to around $2,580. A successful breakout above this level could take ETH toward the upper boundary of the channel at $2,900. In case of a pullback, the first support is seen at $2,580, followed by a secondary support at $2,500.Crypto NewsJapan kept its interest rate decision steady.Strategy acquired 10,100 BTC.Tron started working on an IPO.President Trump's Truth Social applied for the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF.SEC postponed the staking decision in Franklin's spot Ethereum ETF.Iran asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman to pressure Trump to accept an immediate ceasefire with Israel.

The S&P 500 rose 0.9%, and the Nasdaq gained 1.5%, with tech stocks leading the rally. In contrast, energy stocks declined alongside falling oil prices. The VIX fear index dropped by 1.7 points to 19.1, indicating a slight easing in market anxiety.However, unconfirmed reports concerning the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing regional tensions are prompting caution in the markets. This morning, both European and U.S. futures markets saw slight declines.Global markets remain focused on developments along the Iran-Israel axis. As previously noted, interest rate decisions from the Fed, the Bank of England, and the Central Bank of Turkey (CBRT) will also be closely watched this week. While no rate changes are expected, the accompanying statements and updated economic projections will play a key role in shaping market sentiment.

This is close to market expectations; our estimate yesterday was $7.7 billion. However, the total 12-month deficit increased to $15.8 billion. The data shows us that there is a temporary deterioration in the current account balance. However, the preliminary foreign trade data for May shows that this deterioration may be short-lived and that recovery may begin.On the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) side, pressure continues due to the Iran-Israel tension in the Middle East. Although the news that the parties were seeking a compromise yesterday provided short-term relief, a permanent recovery could not be achieved. The BIST100 index completed the day horizontally-positive at 9,350.One of the most important developments for the markets this week will be the Central Bank of Turkey’s (CBRT) interest rate decision to be announced on Thursday. According to the Market Participants Survey published yesterday, investors think that the TCMB may start reducing interest rates in the second half of the year.When we look at the BIST100 index technically, the range of 9,043–8,994 appears as a strong support area. In the scenario where these levels are maintained, upward attempts are quite healthy.

Truth Social, US President Donald Trump's media venture, has taken a bold step into the cryptocurrency market. The platform, which operates under the Trump Media & Technology Group umbrella, officially filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 16, 2025, for a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF (exchange-traded fund).Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF application from Truth SocialAccording to the application filed by Truth Social, investors will be offered direct exposure to both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) assets. The fund, which is planned to be traded on the NYSE Arca exchange under the ticker symbol B.T., will allocate 75% of its investment portfolio to Bitcoin and 25% to Ethereum. The fund is sponsored by Yorkville America Digital, a New Jersey-based crypto asset firm. Custody services will be provided by Crypto.com. Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, described the new ETF application as part of the company's digital finance vision. In his statement, Nunes said, “At Trump Media, we continue to aggressively develop our products and services. As part of this vision, our Bitcoin reserves are also growing.”This crypto initiative from the Trump camp has resonated not only in the investment world but also in political circles. As recalled, Trump openly supported Bitcoin mining in his 2024 election campaign and argued that the US should become a “crypto production hub.”The company's strategic approach to digital assets is not limited to the ETF application. Trump Media also announced that it has raised approximately $2.3 billion in capital. This funding was secured from approximately fifty investors through debt financing and stock subscription agreements. In another document submitted to the SEC, it was noted that the company had registered approximately 56 million shares of common stock and 29 million shares of convertible bonds for resale. Devin Nunes emphasized that these financial activities were conducted to support the company's growth strategy and expansion plans.Bitcoin price nears 107,000 dollarsTruth Social's ETF application was also welcomed positively in the cryptocurrency market. According to market data, Bitcoin rose to $106,777, up 1.6% following the news. The market value exceeded $2.12 trillion, while the 24-hour trading volume reached $42 billion. Bitcoin's market dominance is currently at 63.66%. A limited increase was also observed on the Ethereum side. Market players expect a significant upward momentum in both BTC and ETH prices if the ETF is approved by the SEC.An ETF application featuring Trump's name is expected to be particularly influential, especially given the current regulatory process for cryptocurrencies. All eyes are now on the SEC's decision.
Institutional interest in cryptocurrency markets continues to grow. According to CoinShares' weekly report, demand for crypto asset investment products has not weakened despite geopolitical tensions. This trend, supported by US-based entries in particular, has increased institutional interest not only in leading coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but also in altcoins such as XRP, Sui, and Solana. According to the latest data, investments in cryptocurrencies have reached their highest levels of the year, with some altcoins showing signs of recovery.CoinShares report: Net inflows into cryptocurrenciesDespite geopolitical tensions dampening global risk appetite, cryptocurrency investment products maintained their steady upward trend, earning investors' confidence. According to CoinShares' report dated June 16, 2025, there was a net inflow of $1.9 billion into crypto assets last week. This marks the ninth consecutive week of inflows, with the total inflow since the beginning of the year reaching a record $13.2 billion.When looking at regional data, the United States was, as expected, the country with the highest investor interest. The United States maintained its lead with $1.92 billion in weekly inflows, followed by Switzerland ($20.7 million), Germany ($39.2 million), and Canada ($12.1 million). In contrast, outflows of 56.8 million dollars and 8.5 million dollars were observed in countries such as Hong Kong and Brazil, respectively.Bitcoin and Ethereum investments at the top, XRP and Sui also saw interestBased on asset-based evaluation, Bitcoin remained the main focus of investors with a weekly inflow of 1.325 billion dollars. This strong performance further boosted Bitcoin's total inflows since the beginning of the year to 11.4 billion dollars. Additionally, 3.7 million dollars in inflows were recorded for short Bitcoin products. There was also notable activity in the Ethereum sector. The weekly inflow of 583 million dollars marked the highest level seen since February. Ethereum's total inflows over the past few weeks reached $2 billion, bringing its share of assets under management (AuM) to 14%. In addition to these two major assets, XRP and Sui also regained investor interest with inflows of $11.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Solana experienced limited inflows of 1.3 million dollars, while other altcoins like Cardano and Chainlink saw low-volume activity. On the other hand, multi-asset products closed the week in negative territory with -14 million dollars, Chainlink with -0.3 million dollars, and Litecoin with -0.1 million dollars.iShares took the lead, while Fidelity and Grayscale remained in negative territoryOn the fund provider side, iShares stood out with 1.497 billion dollars in inflows from its US-based ETFs, while some major players like Fidelity (-88 million dollars) and Grayscale (-1.659 billion dollars) are still struggling with negative flows. Other providers like Bitwise, ARK 21Shares, and CoinShares XBT have also recorded negative inflows since the start of the year.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has reached a major milestone in its Bitcoin investments. The company announced that it has purchased an additional 1,112 Bitcoin, bringing its total BTC holdings to 10,000. With this move, Metaplanet has surpassed crypto exchange giant Coinbase to become one of the largest institutional Bitcoin holders.Metaplanet has acquired an additional 117 million dollars worth of BitcoinMetaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the newly acquired 1,112 BTC cost a total of 117.2 million dollars, with an average purchase price of 105,435 dollars. With this latest purchase, the company has fully achieved its 2025 target of 10,000 BTC.According to the data, Coinbase Global holds 9,267 BTC. Metaplanet's total BTC count reaching 10,000 has propelled the company ahead of Coinbase in this area. Metaplanet has demonstrated remarkable growth in a short period by aggressively continuing its Bitcoin purchase strategy, which it launched in April 2024. $210 million bond announcementThe company did not limit itself to Bitcoin purchases, but also announced the issuance of $210 million in interest-free bonds. According to the company's statement, the proceeds from these bonds issued to the EVO Fund will be used entirely for new Bitcoin purchases. The maturity date of the bonds in question has been set for December 12, 2025.Following these developments, Metaplanet shares experienced a rapid rise. The company's shares, which are traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, gained 17.23% in value on the day of the announcement, rising to 1,769 yen. Looking at the year-to-date performance, the increase in share prices has reached 408%. Some sources indicate that following these recent announcements, the share price rose by up to 22% during the day, reaching 1,830 yen.A target of 100,000 BTC by 2026Metaplanet's Bitcoin targets are not limited to this. The company plans to acquire 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. This equates to 1% of the total Bitcoin supply. To support this goal, the company also announced plans for a $5.4 billion share offering on June 6. Under this plan, 555 million new shares are expected to be issued over the next two years.In light of these developments, Metaplanet is emerging as one of the most notable institutional Bitcoin investors. The company's total return on its BTC positions since the beginning of 2025 has exceeded 200%.It is worth noting that neither Metaplanet nor any other company has come close to matching MicroStrategy's BTC holdings. MicroStrategy holds 582,000 BTC – the company began accumulating BTC in August 2020 and set an example for other companies.
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market Recap with JrKripto,” where we compile the most important developments in global and local markets, below. Let’s analyze the overall market conditions together and review the latest updates.Bitcoin (BTC) had previously dropped below the $104,977 support level, falling to as low as $101,150 before rebounding from the $101,059–$100,063 range with strong buying pressure and breaking out of the descending channel to the upside. However, BTC has now pulled back to around $104,950, once again approaching critical support levels. If the downward move continues, the $104,977 and $101,059 supports remain important. A drop below these levels could bring the $96,914 level into focus. On the upside, it will be difficult to speak of a sustained recovery unless the $106,794 and especially $109,588 resistance levels are broken. A stable move above $109,588 could target $111,980 (ATH) and $114,500.Ethereum (ETH) also gave a positive signal earlier by breaking out of its descending channel, but it has now pulled back to around $2,525. This weakening has raised doubts about the recovery. If the downward movement continues, the $2,385 level stands out as strong support. Falling below this level could bring $2,098 and then $2,004 into play. For the upward recovery to gain momentum, ETH needs to break above $2,711 and then $2,838. However, to reestablish a positive outlook, the price must maintain above $2,711.Crypto NewsBlackRock aims to become the world's largest crypto asset manager by 2030.President Trump called the 🇺🇸🇨🇳 China trade deal "GREAT!"Trident announced a funding plan of up to $500 million for the XRP Treasury and appointed Chaince Securities LLC as a strategic advisor.Financial market giant DTCC is exploring a stablecoin.French firm The Blockchain Group raised €9.7 million to buy more Bitcoin.Coinbase to launch futures trading in the U.S.Coinbase is partnering with American Express to launch the 'Coinbase One Card' offering up to 4% Bitcoin cashback.Israeli air force carried out airstrikes on Iran.Top Gainers in CryptocurrenciesVENOM → Up 26.6% to $0.17085618AERO → Up 15.0% to $0.63056735TRIBE → Up 5.5% to $0.45062473AB → Up 5.0% to $0.01219636WBT → Up 3.2% to $33.62Top Losers in CryptocurrenciesSPX → Down 18.4% to $1.39FARTCOIN → Down 17.9% to $1.10MOG → Down 17.0% to $0.97854539POPCAT → Down 16.7% to $0.3029431BRETT → Down 16.5% to $0.04416029Fear IndexBitcoin: 66Ethereum: 58DominanceBitcoin: 64.85% ▲ 0.83%Ethereum: 9.41% ▼ 3.66%Daily Net ETF InflowsBTC ETFs: $86.30 MillionETH ETFs: $112.30 MillionGlobal MarketsThe day began with reports that Israel struck multiple targets in Iran. We had previously warned in yesterday’s bulletin of rising geopolitical tensions in the region, but the scale and speed of this development have exceeded market expectations. Reports indicate that Israel hit military, industrial, and even academic targets in over 10 cities in Iran. The scope of this strike is significant, and attention now turns to Iran’s possible retaliation. Whether Iran will target Israeli cities or U.S. bases in the region remains a closely watched matter.These developments have caused noticeable movements in asset prices. Oil prices have surged nearly 10%, while gains have also been seen in precious metals, agricultural commodities, and other safe-haven assets. Conversely, global equity markets are under selling pressure. Losses in U.S. and European futures and Asian stock markets range between 1–2%.Yesterday, U.S. stock indices closed higher. The S&P 500 gained 0.4% and the Nasdaq 0.2%, while the VIX volatility index rose 0.8 points to 18.0. In Europe, the Eurostoxx-600 index declined by 0.3% due to diminishing trade optimism and heightened geopolitical tensions.Following the Middle East crisis, Brent crude oil tested $78.50 this morning and is currently trading around $74.70, up 7.7%. Gold also hit a one-month high on safe-haven demand, rising 1.1% to $3,422 per ounce. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is up 0.4% at 98.3. Selling pressure continues in futures markets and Asian equities.On the macroeconomic front, the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.1% in May, falling short of the 0.2% market expectation. Year-over-year, PPI rose to 2.6% from 2.5%. The decline in airline fares and flat energy prices contributed to the lower increase.Better-than-expected CPI and PPI data, along with signs of cooling in the labor market, have increased expectations of a potential Fed rate cut in September. However, at the upcoming June 18 meeting, the Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged.Additionally, weekly jobless claims in the U.S. came in at 248,000 for the week ending June 7, exceeding expectations of 242,000. Continuing claims rose to 1.96 million—the highest since November 2021—indicating a slowdown in the labor market.Most Valuable Companies & Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT): $3.56 trillion market cap, $478.87 per share, up 1.32%NVIDIA (NVDA): $3.54 trillion market cap, $145.00 per share, up 1.52%Apple (AAPL): $2.98 trillion market cap, $199.20 per share, up 0.21%Amazon (AMZN): $2.26 trillion market cap, $213.24 per share, up 0.02%Alphabet (GOOG): $2.14 trillion market cap, $176.97 per share, down 1.02%Borsa IstanbulIn Turkey, the Industrial Production Index (IPI) for April showed a sharp 3.1% monthly decline. The calendar-adjusted annual change was 3.3%. This steep monthly drop largely reflects a correction and normalization following March's strong growth. Volatility in capital goods production continues to be the primary driver of fluctuations in industrial output.The Construction Cost Index rose 1.7% in April month-over-month, with an annual increase of 22.7%. This marks the 11th consecutive month of year-over-year decline. Seasonally adjusted figures show that the monthly increase accelerated from 1.9% to 2.3%, signaling rising construction costs.Due to heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the BIST-100 index fell below its 100- and 200-day moving averages, ending the day down 1.7%. The biggest losses were in the banking, holding, and aviation sectors, while defense and steel stocks performed relatively better. The rise in geopolitical risk also pushed up oil and gold prices.Meanwhile, the CBRT has shifted all its funding operations to weekly repo auctions, bringing the average funding cost down to 46%—a 300 basis point drop over the last three trading days.Geopolitical tensions will continue to be the dominant factor in the short term. As such, a bearish trend may persist on the BIST today.Technical Outlook:The BIST-100 index closed at 9,520 yesterday, showing a weak trend throughout the session. The pullback, which began from 9,734—just below the 9,740–9,770 resistance band—continued throughout the day but remained relatively limited. The index staying above the 9,475–9,445 transition band indicates that the bullish expectation is still intact. If this support zone is breached, signs of weakness may strengthen, bringing the 9,255–9,148 support range back into focus. For now, as long as the index remains above this support zone, the possibility of retesting the 9,740–9,770 resistance band remains on the table.Most Valuable Companies on Borsa IstanbulQNB Finansbank (QNBTR): 876.86B TRY market cap, 258.75 TRY per share, down 1.15%Aselsan (ASELS): 659.83B TRY market cap, 144.20 TRY per share, down 0.35%Garanti Bank (GARAN): 499.8B TRY market cap, 114.20 TRY per share, down 4.03%Turkish Airlines (THYAO): 384.68B TRY market cap, 265.00 TRY per share, down 4.93%Koç Holding (KCHOL): 374.3B TRY market cap, 142.20 TRY per share, down 3.66%Precious Metals & Currency PricesGold: 4,334 TRYSilver: 46.19 TRYPlatinum: 1,617 TRYUSD: 39.42 TRYEUR: 45.45 TRYSee you again tomorrow with the latest updates!
Cryptocurrency markets started the last trading day of the week with sharp declines. The markets experienced a serious sell-off due to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and inflation data from the US. Almost all major cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, lost value. The total market value of cryptocurrencies fell by more than 2 percent, from $3.37 trillion to $3.32 trillion. The value of positions liquidated daily exceeded $1.1 billion. Let's take a look at the market details of the day...Major decline in the market: Bitcoin, ETH and other cryptocurrencies in the top 10 declinedDogecoin (DOGE) was one of the assets most affected by the general decline in the market. The popular meme coin lost nearly 7 percent in value in just 24 hours, falling to $0.181. While Bitcoin fell 4 percent to below $103,000, Ethereum fell 9 percent to $2,500. Solana lost more than 6%, while XRP lost nearly 4%. According to JrKripto.com data, a total of $1.04 billion worth of positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours, the vast majority of which were long (bullish) positions. A $317 million long position was liquidated on Bitcoin alone. Liquidations in Ethereum totaled $151 million.Tension between Iran and IsraelTwo main developments stand out behind this decline in crypto markets. The first is Israel's airstrike on a nuclear facility in Iran. With this news coming around 03:30 Turkish time, investors quickly exited risky assets and headed for safe havens. This move pushed the price of gold above $3,410 per ounce, while causing a sharp 13% increase in oil prices. As investors rushed to safe havens, the exit from Bitcoin and altcoins, which are considered "risky assets", increased.US inflation also affected the marketThe second factor affecting the market is the May CPI data announced in the US on Wednesday. Although the data indicating that inflation is slowing was perceived positively in the markets at first glance, many investors used this opportunity to make profits and turned to sell-side transactions. This correction, especially for Bitcoin, which exceeded the $ 110,000 level at the beginning of the week, was a turning point where excessive optimism was broken.The impact of geopolitical tensions and economic data on the markets seems to continue in the coming days. Considering the high volatility of crypto assets, investors are expected to act cautiously and give more importance to risk management. In particular, the Fed's interest rate policy and developments in the Middle East will play a critical role in determining the direction of crypto markets.
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market Recap with JrKripto,” where we compile the most important developments in global and local markets, below. Let’s analyze the overall market conditions together and review the latest updates.Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded after falling as low as $101,150 below the $104,977 support level, recovering strongly from the $101,059–$100,063 range and breaking out of the descending channel to the upside, shifting its technical outlook into positive territory. However, BTC is currently experiencing a slight pullback, trading around $107,600. The $109,588 resistance is crucial for the upward move to continue. If the price holds above this level, the next targets would be $111,980 (ATH) and $114,500, respectively. On the downside, $106,794 and $104,977 should be watched as support levels. Holding these supports is essential for maintaining the positive scenario.Ethereum (ETH) similarly broke out of its descending channel, rebounding from the $2,385 support and is currently trading around $2,750. For the upward movement to gain momentum, ETH needs to surpass the $2,838 resistance. Once this level is broken, $3,004 may become the next target. In the event of a downward correction, the $2,385 level remains the most important support.Crypto NewsUkraine has officially submitted a bill proposing the establishment of a strategic #Bitcoin reserve.Interactive Strength (TRNR) has launched a $500 million facility to purchase Fetch.ai (FET) tokens, initiating a crypto treasury strategy focused on AI.Trump: “Inflation numbers are great!

Monthly CPI rose by 0.08%, falling short of the 0.2% forecast. Annual inflation edged up by just 4 basis points to 2.35%, also below the expected 2.5%. Price declines in energy, automotive, and clothing contributed to this mild inflation outlook. Core CPI rose 0.13% month-over-month, below the 0.3% forecast, and annual core inflation has remained flat at 2.8% for the past three months.Despite the data, market reaction was limited. U.S. stock markets closed lower yesterday. The S&P 500 dropped 0.3%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.5%, while the Dow Jones ended flat.Meanwhile, surging geopolitical tensions in the Middle East led to a sharp increase in oil prices. WTI crude ended the day up 5.5%, positively impacting energy stocks. The S&P 500 Energy Sector Index rose 1.5%, making it the top gainer. Conversely, news that the U.S. and Mexico are discussing tariff reductions on steel exports pressured steel-related stocks. As a result, the S&P 500 Materials Sector Index fell 1.0%, becoming the biggest loser.After the close, Oracle (ORCL) reported strong financial results, but this did not significantly shift overall market sentiment. U.S. markets are expected to open slightly lower today. European markets started the day with selling pressure. Investors are closely watching the U.S. PPI data due later today. Having fallen into negative territory in April, the PPI is expected to turn positive in May and show annual growth. This data could have a stronger market impact than CPI.Most Valuable Companies & Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT): $3.51 trillion market cap, $472.62 per share, up 0.36%NVIDIA (NVDA): $3.49 trillion market cap, $142.83 per share, down 0.78%Apple (AAPL): $2.97 trillion market cap, $198.78 per share, down 1.92%Amazon (AMZN): $2.26 trillion market cap, $213.20 per share, down 2.03%Alphabet (GOOG): $2.16 trillion market cap, $178.79 per share, down 0.68%Borsa IstanbulDomestically, April's Industrial Production Index (IPI) will be released today. In March, the seasonally and calendar-adjusted IPI rose 3.4% monthly but fell 2.7% year-over-year. On a calendar-adjusted basis, annual growth was 2.5%. However, early indicators for April suggest continued weakness in industrial production. Notably, the April PMI for manufacturing stood at 47.3, remaining below the 50 threshold, indicating ongoing contraction.The Construction Cost Index for April is also expected today.The BIST-100 index showed a cautious rise yesterday, closing around its 100-day moving average but failing to break above the 9,700 level. With the second weekly repo auction post-holiday, the CBRT’s weighted average funding rate dropped to 48%, reinforcing expectations for a potential rate cut on June 19. Meanwhile, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lifted oil prices, contributing to selling pressure in both U.S. markets and VIOP's evening session. A slight pullback may be seen in Borsa Istanbul today as a result.Technical Outlook:The BIST-100 closed at 9,686 yesterday, following a predominantly positive session. The upward trend remains intact, and the index has now closed above both its 100- and 200-day moving averages for two consecutive days, supporting a bullish technical view. Although the lower limit of the 9,740–9,770 resistance band was tested, the close remained below it. This range is still being considered a “transition zone.” If the index closes above this band, a move toward the 10,000 level could begin.Most Valuable Companies on Borsa IstanbulQNB Finansbank (QNBTR): 884.4B TRY market cap, 264.00 TRY per share, unchangedAselsan (ASELS): 644.33B TRY market cap, 144.60 TRY per share, up 2.34%Garanti Bank (GARAN): 508.62B TRY market cap, 119.90 TRY per share, down 0.99%Turkish Airlines (THYAO): 400.89B TRY market cap, 282.00 TRY per share, down 2.93%Koç Holding (KCHOL): 385.46B TRY market cap, 147.60 TRY per share, down 2.89%Precious Metals & Currency PricesGold: 4,205 TRYSilver: 46.03 TRYPlatinum: 1,588 TRYUSD: 39.18 TRYEUR: 44.78 TRYSee you tomorrow with the latest updates!
The global cryptocurrency market experienced a widespread decline as of June 12, 2025. The total market value decreased by 2.1 percent in the last 24 hours, falling to $3.38 trillion. The daily trading volume also dropped by 5.27 percent to $133.81 billion. On the other hand, the Fear and Greed Index, which is a sentiment index, remains in the Greed zone. So, what is the reason behind this significant decline in Bitcoin and altcoins?Macroeconomic developments triggered the marketThis sharp decline is not unique to cryptocurrencies. A series of macroeconomic and political developments in global markets have significantly reduced investors' appetite for risk. A similar picture is evident in US stock markets. The S&P 500 index fell 0.27% to 6,022.24 points. The Dow Jones Transport Index (DJT) fell 1.87% to 20.52 points, while the NASDAQ fell 0.50% to 19,615.88 points. The Dow Jones fell by a very limited 0.0026% to 42,865.77 points.Significant increase in Bitcoin and altcoin liquidationsOne of the most striking effects of the market shift was the increase in liquidations on crypto exchanges. Over 100,000 investors lost their positions in leveraged trades over the past 24 hours. According to JrKripto.com data, a total of $336 million worth of liquidations occurred in the cryptocurrency markets over the past 24 hours. It was notable that 91% of these liquidations were from long positions. Additionally, the largest single liquidation occurred on the BTCUSD perpetual futures pair on Binance, amounting to $2.15 million.According to CoinGlass data, liquidations of this magnitude typically indicate misaligned expectations about the market's direction. Following the release of inflation data showing a decline, many investors had opened long positions assuming the upward trend would continue. However, the sudden selling pressure swept away both long and short positions. Bitcoin and Ethereum lost value, with altcoins impacted more severelyBitcoin, the pioneer of the cryptocurrency market, is trading at $107,740.76, down 1.68% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin's market value fell to $2.14 trillion, while its daily trading volume reached $53.99 billion. Ethereum also experienced a similar decline, trading at $2,760.10 with a 1.11% loss. Major altcoins were particularly hard hit by this decline. XRP prices fell by 1.87%, while Solana (SOL) experienced a 3.97% decline in value, making it one of the hardest-hit major cryptocurrencies.What is expected in the short term?This decline in the markets is not driven by specific news or sudden developments, but rather by increasing uncertainty in global markets and technical correction trends. Crypto investors, especially those taking on higher risks through leveraged trading, are facing severe liquidations during such pullbacks.Bitcoin's drop below $108,000 is seen by technical analysts as a potential test of a new support level. Ethereum remaining below $2,800 indicates that buying appetite remains weak. In the coming days, both data flows from traditional markets and crypto developments will continue to be directional. In particular, new economic data to be released in the US and statements by central bank officials will be closely monitored by crypto investors.
There has been a remarkable development in the long-standing trade war between the US and China. Former US President Donald Trump announced the completion of a comprehensive trade agreement between the parties as a result of negotiations with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The announcement on Truth Social follows the previously announced 90-day tariff truce.Trump: Our deal with China is finalizedThe months-long trade war between the US and China seems to have entered a new phase with official statements today. Former US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping is “complete”. According to Trump, the deal is subject only to the final approval of the two leaders.Trump's post read as follows: “Our deal with China is complete, subject to final approval by Xi and me. Full magnetics and all necessary rare earth elements will be supplied in advance by China. We get 55% tariffs, China gets 10%. Relations are excellent!” This follows a 90-day “tariff truce” between the two countries announced last month. Since then, the two sides have temporarily suspended tariffs, but the details of the agreement have not been finalized. On Thursday, June 6, following a phone call that lasted about an hour and a half, Trump announced that talks would begin in London on Monday, June 9. Most recently, the US President announced that a final agreement had been reached.Trump also stated that the agreement is not limited to trade products. He emphasized that Chinese students will continue to have access to US universities: “It has always been positive for me that Chinese students use our colleges and universities.”Recently in crypto marketFollowing Trump's statements, financial markets and especially the cryptocurrency market reacted weakly positive. Trump's deal, which is said to have been reached with tariff rates of “55% - 10%”, may ease the perception of global economic risk and provide a shift towards assets such as Bitcoin. For now, no significant change has been observed in the price of the leading cryptocurrency. During the two-day talks in London recently, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick told the press on his way out that “things are going great”. This led to increased optimism in the market. Now Trump's official announcement has reinforced this optimism.A new page in the trade warThe protracted trade war, which started during the Trump era, has seen many ups and downs so far. The harsh imposition of tariffs had strained global supply chains and increased inflationary pressures. Although the tariffs, which have been reduced to reasonable levels for now, have a negative impact on prices in the short term, they are welcomed by the markets in terms of reducing the risk of recession.According to experts, the deal is critical for the US to regain easy access to rare earth elements from China. These elements have a strategic role in many fields, especially in the technology and energy sectors. In addition, the US was expected to make such transition agreements in line with its goal of gradually moving production to its own territory.
A remarkable bill on cryptocurrencies has been submitted to parliament in Ukraine. Recorded on June 10, the new bill aims to authorize the country's central bank to include Bitcoin and other crypto assets in its national reserves. The bill, drafted by a group of lawmakers led by Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a deputy from the Holos party, is eagerly awaited in the cryptocurrency space.With the new bill, the Central Bank of Ukraine will be able to hold cryptocurrenciesThe draft law proposes amendments to the law “On the National Bank of Ukraine”. It would give the central bank the option to hold virtual, i.e. crypto-assets in its reserves in addition to gold and foreign currencies. However, this is not a mandatory practice. The bill only gives the NBU this authority. When, how and in what form, and how much crypto-assets to hold in reserves is left entirely to the bank's discretion.Zheleznyak said, “With this bill, we authorize the National Bank to include virtual assets in the country's reserves. However, decisions such as timing, method and volume will be entirely at the discretion of the central bank.” Zheleznyak's Telegram post According to Zheleznyak, a well-managed crypto reserve system can strengthen the country's macroeconomic stability and promote the development of the digital economy. “Proper management of crypto reserves strengthens macroeconomic stability and creates new opportunities for the digital economy,” he said in a post on Telegram.In a video call with Kirill Khomyakov, Binance's Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe, Zheleznyak noted the global interest in the use of crypto assets in reserves. He noted that countries such as the US, El Salvador, Switzerland and Brazil have begun to consider crypto as a strategic reserve asset.The draft law has now been submitted to the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, and is under consideration. If adopted, Ukraine will be one of the few countries to officially consider cryptoassets as a monetary policy instrument.Full legal ground in 2025In addition to the central bank's potential Bitcoin reserve step, Ukrainian lawmakers are also working on a more comprehensive bill that aims to fully legalize the use of crypto by mid-2025. This second bill, which is expected to be submitted to parliament after the new year, was drafted in cooperation with the Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The new legal regulation envisages the regulation of crypto assets in a security-like structure. Accordingly, earnings from cryptos will be taxed only when converted into fiat currencies; no tax exemption will be granted for daily digital asset transactions.Danylo Hetmantsev, Chairman of the Ukrainian Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, announced that the core of the draft law has been finalized and is expected to be passed by the parliament in the first quarter of 2025. There is also the possibility that Ukraine could become the first country in Europe to recognize Bitcoin as an official state reserve asset. Zheleznyak confirmed that the bill to create a state-backed strategic Bitcoin reserve is in the final stages and will be presented soon.

Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and take a look at the latest updates.Bitcoin (BTC) dropped as low as $101,150 after falling below the $104,977 support level, but then rebounded strongly from the $101,059–$100,063 range. With this recovery, the short-term descending channel structure was broken to the upside, and BTC is currently trading around $109,200. The technical outlook has turned positive again.In the short term, the $109,588 resistance is critical. If this level is surpassed, the next targets are $111,980 (ATH) and then $114,500. On possible pullbacks, the $106,794 and $104,977 levels are strong supports.
