The company, with a flourish of its ledger, offloaded a mere 32 BTC for a modest $2.5 million during the last days of May, all while cradling its colossal 843,706 BTC treasury. Truly, a drop in the ocean of their opulence.
In his august prognostication, McGlone declares that the crypto bubble hath burst, threatening to drag Bitcoin back to its humble origins, a mere $10,000. The heart of this dire forecast? A shattered multi-year correlation, as if the stars themselves had misaligned. Alas, Bitcoin, once the obedient high-beta asset, now rebels against its former masters-global liquidity and equities.
Adam Back has been a key figure in cryptography and the cypherpunk movement since the 1990s. As the CEO of Blockstream, a leading Bitcoin infrastructure company, his views on Bitcoin are highly respected and carry significant influence within the industry.
The CoinDesk DeFi Select Index, that barometer of decentralized dreams, led the day’s decliners with a 2.6% drop. Ondo Finance’s ONDO token, poor thing, fell 2.8%, its spirits no doubt dampened by the unexpected passing of founder Nathan Allman. Hyperliquid’s HYPE, however, stood out like a peacock in a pigeon coop, adding 1.26% and reaching a record high of $73.94. Capital, it seems, has found a new darling-though one wonders how long this flirtation will last.
Martin Köppelmann has advised Gnosis Pay users to withdraw all their funds, including EURe and GNO, due to recent developments.
Let’s zoom into the 4-hour time frame, shall we? It’s like watching a slow-motion car crash, but with more charts and fewer airbags. After gracefully (read: desperately) clinging to the bottom of the 4-month bear flag last week, Bitcoin decided to take a breather in the form of another bear flag-because why have one flag when you can have two? This miniature flag of doom has now broken downward, with a candle so bearish it could hibernate through winter. It’s currently converging at the $77,760 support level, which is holding on for dear life. The new candle has opened below the flag but is clinging to support like a koala to a eucalyptus tree. Bulls vs. bears? More like a game of crypto chicken.
Isabel Schnabel, a key member of the European Central Bank, has warned that the fast rise of stablecoins could create problems for the financial system, how monetary policy works, and the global monetary system.
Key Takeaways:

This puts Bitcoin near a key support level that traders have been watching closely all year.
