On June 23, five Democratic senators from the U.S. Senate, including Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, jointly sent a letter requesting multiple Senate committees to hold hearings immediately regarding the $500 million investment by UAE officials in the Trump family's cryptocurrency project WLFI, to investigate whether this investment influenced the Trump administration's subsequent policy decisions towards the UAE.According to the letter, an agent for a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family signed an agreement with the Trump family to acquire a 49% stake in WLFI for $500 million, with the agreement completed four days before Trump's inauguration. The foreign buyer prepaid $218 million to entities associated with the Trump family and Middle East chief diplomat Steve Witkoff. The deal was reportedly endorsed by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the senators described this move as "unprecedented in U.S. political history."More concerning is the policy direction following the completion of the deal. The letter lists a series of decisions made by the Trump administration within months of the agreement that were clearly favorable to the UAE: approval of $1.4 billion in arms sales to the UAE; the Treasury Department establishing a "known investor pilot" program, which opened the green light for a fast-track approval process for the UAE that had long been lobbied for by CFIUS; and the Commerce Department lifting chip export restrictions from the Biden era, authorizing UAE AI company G42 to acquire 35,000 Nvidia Blackwell chips, with a transaction amount exceeding $1 billion. However, U.S. intelligence officials reportedly found that G42 had provided U.S. technology that could enhance missile capabilities to China.The senators demanded that Trump administration officials "explain under oath when they became aware of the payments to the president and his chief regional diplomat's family," and provide clarification on how to restore public trust. Currently, neither WLFI nor the UAE government has responded to this matter.

Analyst Murphy stated that there is strong support around $60,000 before and after the expiration of Bitcoin options on June 26, making it difficult to break below that level easily. In the corresponding Gamma chart, the range of $59,000 to $62,000 shows a clear positive Gamma, and the hedging behavior of market makers will suppress volatility, making it easier for the price to be fixed in that area. At the same time, there is a significant accumulation of Put options with a strike price of $60,000, totaling up to 4,620 BTC, forming a strong Put wall that will generate substantial buying power and provide solid support as the price approaches. Historically, when similar options structures have appeared, they often correspond to phase bottoms or the end of pullback stages. Analyst Murphy believes that $60,000 remains a strong support level in the short term and is cautiously optimistic about the short-term market performance.

According to analyst Darkfost, the realized price of short-term holders (STH) of Bitcoin is currently about $74,800, while BTC has been running below this cost line for eight consecutive months, with short-term holders still generally under pressure from losses. Currently, the average unrealized loss for STH is about 14.4%, a significant improvement from over 34% in February of this year.It is noteworthy that the cost price for STH has decreased from $95,700 to $74,800, indicating that some short-term holders have continued to accumulate during the decline, thereby lowering the overall holding cost. In this cycle, the unrealized profit for STH peaked at 47% in March 2024, while when BTC reached an all-time high in October 2025, this metric was only 11%, showing that the market's profit level is significantly weaker than in previous stages. The STH cost price of $74,800 remains a key resistance level. If BTC can regain this level, it may indicate a positive shift in market structure; however, before that, this area is more likely to become a selling pressure zone for short-term holders looking to break even.

According to BBX data, yesterday two leading publicly listed companies in the cryptocurrency sector completed key historical matters and strategic upgrades. The core updates are as follows:Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq: $HUT) officially disclosed on June 23 that the company agreed to pay investors $2.35 million in cash to settle a securities class action lawsuit arising from the merger with U.S. Bitcoin Corp (USBTC) in 2023. The case is being handled by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, with the plaintiffs being investors who held Hut 8 securities from February 13, 2023, to January 18, 2024. The core allegation is that the company significantly omitted disclosures regarding infrastructure issues at its King Mountain Texas Bitcoin mine (including energy limitations and network connectivity failures) during the merger process, constituting substantial misrepresentation to investors. The trigger for this case was a report released by short-selling firm J Capital Research on January 18, 2024, which questioned the company, leading to a single-day drop of over 23% in Hut 8's stock price. The $2.35 million settlement amount represents approximately 19.6% of the plaintiffs' estimated maximum recoverable damages of $12.08 million, exceeding the historical median settlement ratio for similar cases involving only Securities Act claims; the settlement is still subject to final court approval, and Hut 8 denies any wrongdoing or legal liability. This settlement eliminates the last significant historical legal uncertainty in the company's AI/HPC data center transformation narrative, allowing the valuation logic for the timely delivery of its River Bend ($7 billion contract) and Beacon Point ($9.8 billion contract) dual campuses within the year to unfold against a cleaner balance sheet backdrop.Galaxy Digital Inc. (Nasdaq: $GLXY) announced on June 23 a strategic investment in Digital Prime Technologies (a securities lending technology platform), with specific financial terms not disclosed. This investment builds on Galaxy's existing role as a participant in the Tokenet platform—Tokenet is developed in collaboration between Digital Prime Technologies and institutional securities lending infrastructure provider EquiLend, set to officially launch in May 2026, aiming to bring mature workflows, risk control mechanisms, and full lifecycle management systems from the institutional securities lending sector into the digital asset lending market. By upgrading from a platform participant to an equity investor, Galaxy directly ties the operation of the Tokenet platform to its own institutional lending and trading business, forming a triple synergy of "product + balance sheet + equity." This move is highly consistent with Galaxy's overall business strategy: based on the stable cash flow foundation provided by the CoreWeave 15-year AI data center lease (Phase 1 133MW delivered in April), it aims to deepen its institutional digital asset lending infrastructure layout, further reducing reliance on the single Beta of Bitcoin prices—on the same day, Galaxy was also listed in institutional research reports as one of the few cryptocurrency concept stocks capable of maintaining business resilience during Bitcoin price downturns, with its diversified layout seen as a core reason for being relatively decoupled from pure BTC price exposure.
