Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that after Strategy disclosed the sale of 32 BTC on June 1, it triggered a new round of volatility in the BTC market. He pointed out that the scale of the sale itself is not important, as Strategy still holds approximately 840,000 BTC on its balance sheet, valued at about $5.5 billion. However, as one of the largest digital asset treasury managers in the world, its strategic shift puts pressure on market sentiment.Pandl believes that more importantly, the recent volatility affects the price of Strategy's variable rate preferred stock tool STRC. STRC is designed to maintain a price of about $100 per share, with a current dividend yield of 11.5%. If the stock price falls below $100, it means investors are demanding a higher return. Strategy can increase dividends, but this will increase future cash flow obligations and may lead to more BTC sales, further suppressing BTC prices. Strategy's leveraged business model is under pressure, increasing volatility across the entire BTC market.At the current levels of STRC and MSTR stock prices, Grayscale believes that Strategy's ability to continue accumulating more BTC is limited. However, Grayscale believes that in the long term, reducing the BTC on the leveraged digital asset treasury balance sheet and allowing more BTC to be distributed across diversified corporate balance sheets will benefit the health of the Bitcoin ecosystem. But before a sustainable bottom for BTC prices is formed, other buyers need to enter the market. Grayscale expects BTC prices to recover in the coming months, but in the short term, BTC's performance may lag behind other segments of the crypto market that directly benefit from regulatory clarity.

Bitget officially launched the 2026 Global Anti-Fraud Month campaign in June, themed "More Assets, Stronger Protection: Safe Journey in the Multi-Asset Era." As crypto assets, tokenized stocks, AI, and other related products converge on the same platform, the security challenges faced by users have far exceeded those of the single asset era. This is the third consecutive year that Bitget has initiated this security initiative, aimed at helping users enhance their risk awareness in the multi-asset era.According to Interpol data, financial fraud related to the global multi-asset market is expected to cause losses exceeding $442 billion by 2025. As tokenized financial products accelerate their entry into mainstream trading environments, fraudulent methods have expanded from traditional phishing and SMS spoofing to new scenarios such as AI-generated scams, identity manipulation, and malicious smart contracts. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that the financial system is becoming more interconnected, necessitating assistance for users to better identify risks.During Anti-Fraud Month, Bitget will successively release multiple safety science articles and video content, providing in-depth analysis of new fraud trends in the AI and RWA fields. In the later stages of the event, it will collaborate with on-chain security agencies, RWA institutions, and AI industry partners to jointly release anti-fraud reports related to multi-asset trading and AI financial risks, further expanding the coverage of user protection and risk education.

British teenager Alexander Browder stated that he has been placed on a sanctions list by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and banned from entering the country for writing a report exposing a cryptocurrency money laundering network supported by Russia.The report indicates that countries such as Russia, Iran, and North Korea launder approximately $350 billion, with a ruble stablecoin named A7A5 being one of the main issues facing Western anti-money laundering efforts. The UK Foreign Office stated that Russia uses tokens like A7A5 to evade Western sanctions and fund its military. The UK government imposed sanctions on individuals related to this network in May, which transferred over $90 billion last year. Alexander Browder expressed pride in being the first high school student globally to be sanctioned by an authoritarian regime for exposing corruption.

According to Bitcoin.com, in May, the total revenue of Bitcoin miners reached $1.086 billion, breaking the $1 billion mark for the first time since January, with block subsidies accounting for $1.079 billion and transaction fees contributing minimally. However, with the decline in Bitcoin prices, miners are facing profitability pressure.Hashrate has dropped from the 1000 EH/s range to below 975 EH/s, and daily revenue per PH/s (mining price) has decreased from $37.44 a month ago to about $30.77, a decline of 17.82%. The block output interval has extended to 10 minutes and 49 seconds, and it is expected that the network difficulty may decrease by 7.5% around June 13. The proportion of transaction fees in the block reward has rebounded from less than 0.6% to about 1.16% in the past 24 hours, providing a slight buffer for miners.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a certain whale borrowed 10 million USDT after being inactive for 4 months and purchased 5,589 ETH at a price of $1,789. Currently, it holds 82,754 ETH, worth $147.3 million.

According to The Block, the monthly transaction volume of crypto venture capital has dropped to about 50 transactions, the lowest level since before 2021. The two historically most active sectors, infrastructure and crypto financial services, have both fallen to multi-year lows. The massive shift of investor attention towards the AI sector, combined with a shortage of early high-quality project supply, is the main reason for the decline in transaction volume.Despite the drop in the number of transactions, the total amount of financing remains relatively high, showing a "few large amounts" characteristic—recently, the prediction market platform Kalshi completed a $1 billion financing, which is a typical example. Analysts point out that the current low-noise environment is actually a window period for projects with clear use cases and real traction. Whether a recovery can be achieved in the second half of 2026 will depend on whether new sectors beyond prediction markets and financial infrastructure can form a consensus for large-scale investment.
