According to a post by BIT Official analysts, over the past 30 days, combined fund flows into stablecoins, MicroStrategy, and Bitcoin ETFs have turned net outflows—reaching a record $8 billion—indicating that institutional investors are proactively reducing risk exposure ahead of summer. Unlike Q4 2025, when inflows merely stalled, this time fund flows have clearly turned negative. The analysis suggests that without major positive catalysts—such as a dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve—buying pressure is unlikely to recover. The recent BTC price drop—from $82,000 to $62,000—may have a greater impact than the earlier decline from $102,000 to $82,000. With limited upside potential currently, shorting volatility may still present trading opportunities.
Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Taiko has stated its chain state verification mechanism has been compromised, and the security assumptions of all bridges deployed on Taiko can no longer be relied upon. It urges users to immediately withdraw funds from the relevant bridges. Taiko says it is coordinating with partners to control the incident and has suspended the affected systems.Crypto security firm Blockaid stated that the root cause appears to be a flaw in the way Taiko's bridge validates source signals. Attackers can submit message proofs on Ethereum that lack legitimate proof from the Taiko chain, thereby registering and withdrawing fraudulent bridge messages. This leads to the unauthorized release of assets from the ERC20 treasury. Blockaid estimates at least $1 million was stolen, while Lookonchain and PeckShield believe the value of stolen assets could be as high as $1.7 million.PeckShield reported that the attacker has transferred approximately 1.99 million TAIKO tokens to MEXC, valued at around $189,000. Data from blockchain intelligence firm Arkham shows that the Taiko attacker's wallet holds approximately $1.5 million in assets, primarily in Ether. (Cointelegraph)
According to Korea’s Maeil Business Newspaper, the Bank of Korea is advancing its deposit token project from pilot verification to commercialization. Subsequent tests will expand to include new use cases such as person-to-person transfers, merchant adoption, and treasury fund payments. The banking industry states that supporting investments for the project have nearly reached the level required for a new business line, necessitating enhanced anti-money laundering (AML) measures, anomalous transaction monitoring, and system development—and has called for an adjustment to the project’s implementation timeline.

The registration period runs from June 22, 19:00 to July 10, 23:59 (UTC+8), and subsidies will be distributed to eligible users every Monday. Transferred assets can be held or traded directly within the Bitget account.On June 5th, Bitget announced the listing of US stock tokens launched by its compliant RWA protocol. It currently supports over 500 US stocks and ETFs, including SpaceX, Tesla, and Nvidia, with assets under management (AUM) exceeding $50 million.

Bitget has announced an upgrade to its CFD copy trading feature, introducing two new position-following modes and independent risk management settings—evolving copy trading from “simple strategy replication” to “personalized risk management.” While referencing professional strategies, users can now establish a foundational risk control layer aligned with their individual risk tolerance. Regarding position management, two new modes have been added: “Fixed-Ratio Copy Trading” and “Fixed-Lot Copy Trading.” Under the Fixed-Ratio mode, the system intelligently calculates position sizes based on the capital ratio between the user and the lead trader, ensuring proportional risk alignment. Under the Fixed-Lot mode, users can set a fixed order size per trade (e.g., 0.01 lots), enabling small-capital users to cost-effectively test a trader’s actual win rate. On the risk control front, this upgrade introduces independent take-profit and stop-loss settings. Users can now define personalized take-profit and stop-loss amounts for their own accounts when copying any trader—even if the lead trader remains in open positions, the system automatically triggers the user’s stop-loss. Additionally, a new “Maximum Lot Size per Copy Trade” limit has been added to prevent excessively large positions triggered automatically due to high account equity.

Bitcoin has dropped approximately 40% since Strategy launched its Bitcoin financing instrument, STRC, which has now fallen below its $100 issuance par value. This has sparked market debate over the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin “flywheel” model. Strategy currently holds over 846,000 BTC, but its purchase pace has notably slowed recently. Data shows that during the week ending June 8, the company added 1,550 BTC, worth approximately $101 million. The following week, ending June 15, it added another 1,587 BTC, valued at about $100 million. In contrast, during a single week in April 2026, the firm bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion, indicating a significant decline in its recent capital deployment.Meanwhile, Strategy previously sold 32 BTC to meet dividend obligations. While minimal relative to its total holdings, the market views this as a sign that cash flow pressures could intensify if STRC’s funding efficiency declines. STRC was originally designed as a preferred stock instrument trading near its $100 par value, using dividend adjustments to attract investors and help Strategy raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. STRC has now fallen to historic lows, once dropping to $82.53 before closing at $88.59—roughly 13% below par value.Critics argue that STRC’s dip below par indicates mounting pressure on Strategy’s funding channels. Peter Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin critic, labeled STRC “a typical centralized Ponzi scheme,” claiming the model relies on continuous financing or Bitcoin sales to sustain itself. Crypto trader DonAlt also questioned STRC’s recent performance, describing its trading behavior as resembling a “Ponzi scheme.”However, some analysts believe STRC’s decline is more due to leverage liquidations than a fundamental deterioration of Strategy. STRC had long traded around $99 to $100, attracting leveraged traders. When the price broke below a key level, forced liquidations were triggered, exacerbating the drop.Analyst Scott Melker noted that STRC’s current yield has actually improved due to the discount. Since dividends are calculated based on the $100 liquidation preference, at an STRC price of $90, the 11.5% annualized dividend translates to an actual yield of about 12.8%. If the price falls to $85, the yield could exceed 13%.Strategy is expected to announce its next STRC dividend adjustment by June 30. The market is now focused on whether the STRC discount will persist and whether Strategy’s model of using capital market financing to continuously accumulate BTC can remain stable. (Cointelegraph)
