Bitcoin further declined toward $62,000 on Tuesday, continuing its weakvolatility amid a sixth consecutive week of spot ETF outflows, a hawkish shift in macro interest rate expectations, and pressure from quarter-end options expiration. Ethereum fell below $1,700 on the same day, with both BTC and ETH retreating nearly 20% over the past 30 days.This week's market pressure primarily stems from two key factors. First, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at 3.50% to 3.75% during the June 18 FOMC meeting, but the statement noticeably reduced dovish language, and the dot plot shifted from previously hinting at rate cuts to suggesting rate hikes. Among the 18 officials, 9 now expect at least one rate hike this year, and the probability of a December rate hike has significantly increased compared to a month ago.Second, geopolitical risks have once again disrupted the market. The previous expectation of a US-Iran ceasefire had pushed Bitcoin above $67,000, but the situation broke down during the signing ceremony on June 19, with Iran withdrawing from negotiations. Due to the crypto market's 24/7 trading, Bitcoin was the first to reflect this shock.Additionally, Deribit is set to see approximately $10.6 billion in options expire on June 26, further intensifying the quarter-end market观望 sentiment. Analysts believe that current leverage has been largely cleared, and market positioning is defensive. However, the next directional move still depends on Thursday's PCE inflation data and whether spot ETF fund flows can turn positive again.
According to on-chain analyst Ember monitoring, Hyperliquid's largest long position, held across 7 addresses, amounts to $415 million in long contracts, currently facing an unrealized loss of $91.46 million.The position includes 120,000 ETH ($271 million) and 2,000 BTC ($144 million), with an entry price of $2,261 for ETH and $72,134 for BTC. The actual leverage ratio is not excessively high; the liquidation price for ETH is approximately $1,160, and for BTC, around $47,000.
According to Wintermute’s market weekly report, a significant macroeconomic shift occurred during the week ending June 22: The U.S. Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.50%–3.75%, but its statement adopted markedly tighter language—removing all references to accommodative policy. The median dot-plot projection rose from 3.4% to 3.8%, and 17 of the 18 FOMC members assessed inflation risks as skewed upward. The probability of a December rate hike surged from roughly 24% one month earlier to approximately 77%. Meanwhile, the Iran nuclear deal—originally scheduled for signing on June 19—collapsed following Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, prompting Iran to withdraw from negotiations. Qatar is now attempting to extend talks until the end of June. With U.S. equity markets closed for Juneteenth, they failed to react promptly; crypto markets bore the brunt first—BTC peaked near $67,000 midweek before retreating to around $62,000, posting a weekly decline of 3.8%; ETH once again fell below $2,000, dropping into the mid-$1,700 range, down 1.2% for the week; over the weekend, approximately $600 million in long positions were liquidated, while less than $90 million in short positions were cleared—highlighting persistent leverage imbalance. Wintermute noted that the narrative of forced selling by “Strategy” players has dissipated (net BTC purchases totaled 1,587 BTC between June 8–14), yet marginal demand from both ETFs and Strategy participants has clearly weakened compared to prior periods. Capital inflow channels remain unopened, and the market is stabilizing primarily under light positioning and low leverage.

Odaily News David Hoffman, the founder of Bankless who previously liquidated all his ETH, posted on X regarding the newly established Ethlabs, stating: "The Ethereum Foundation (EF) deliberately left a power vacuum, allowing new organizational structures to step up and influence the direction of Ethereum's development.""I believe the direction Ethlabs is leading represents the brightest future for Ethereum. I am pleased to and will continue to support them on their journey ahead."Previously, David Hoffman publicly stated in late May that he had fully exited his ETH positions.

Bitmine, SharpLink, and Joe Lubin have all expressed their support.

According to on-chain analyst ZachXBT, the address (0xff57...5d22) linked to the $575 million Hashflare investment fraud case transferred 10,600 ETH (approximately $18.5 million) about three hours ago—after remaining dormant for 3.5 years. The two Estonian founders of the scheme, Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turogin, pleaded guilty in 2025 and forfeited approximately $450 million in assets to the U.S. government. The transferred funds were immediately bridged from Ethereum to Bitcoin via HiFiSwap and Near Intents, then laundered through two instant exchange platforms. The funds flowed to addresses including 0xc82f...9d04 and 0x3297...2527.
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)
