🚀Crypto chaos in Korea! Fake news of an altcoin delisting sent investors into a frenzy, causing a 10-20% plunge in half of Upbit's altcoins. But fear not, the Financial Supervisory Service clarified, they're not directly monitoring altcoin listings. Meanwhile, Binance is rewarding its loyal BNB holders with airdrops 🎁. In Hong Kong, regulators are cracking down on unlicensed crypto exchanges after the collapse of JPEX and Hounax. And finally, the hype for Bitcoin ETFs seems to be cooling off globally. What do you think about these market trends? Let's chat below! 👇

📉 Bitcoin's been on a two-week slide, now 13.8% below its all-time high of $73,835. Analysts say it's time for BTC to buff up its hashrate and ditch the "weak hands" to halt the dip. 💪🔧

Analyst Willy Woo suggests the price will only bounce back when "weak miners kick the bucket" and the hashrate gets a boost. He also notes that the current cycle of miner capitulation is taking longer than usual, possibly due to profit boosts. 📈💰

Meanwhile, fellow analyst Ali Martinez points out that Bitcoin's average mining cost is currently at $86,668, and historically, BTC always surges above its average mining cost. 🚀

So, what's your take on this? Do you think the Bitcoin price is about to rebound? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 👇👇

📣Crypto world, grab your popcorn! 🍿 The Blockchain Association is back at it, challenging the IRS's proposed broker-dealer rules. They claim these rules would bring a paperwork tsunami, with 8 billion tax forms and 4 billion hours of labor wasted, costing a whopping $254 billion annually! 😱 They argue this is a bit much for a market with a tax gap of just $10 billion. The Association's letter also highlights the government's "fundamental misunderstandings" about crypto and DeFi. What do you think? Is the IRS out of touch? Let's discuss below! 👇

🍏 Apple's latest tech goodies - Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing - are playing hard to get in the EU, thanks to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple fears the DMA could compromise user privacy and data security. 😱 The EU, playing the strict parent, has listed Apple as one of the six "gatekeepers" with powerful market positions, alongside Alphabet, Amazon, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft. Break the rules, and these tech giants could face penalties up to 10% of their global annual turnover! Ouch! 💸 What's your take on this? #Apple #EU #DMA

📉Crypto market cap took a 3.9% nosedive, hitting a 5-week low of $2.34 trillion! 😱 All top-10 coins felt the burn, with Bitcoin, Ether, and BNB all dropping around 4%. Some blame a big Bitcoin sale by the German government, but others point to unfavorable macroeconomic data spooking traditional investors.

MicroStrategy's recent purchase of 11,931 BTC for $786 million, however, has helped to offset the selling pressure. 🚀

With no major regulatory changes to rattle crypto investors, the focus is on traditional finance and macroeconomic data. As the S&P 500 flirts with its all-time high, investors are getting jittery about a potential recession.

So, what's your take? Is this just a temporary dip or the start of a bearish trend? 🐻 Comment below! #CryptoNews #MarketTrends

📉 Bitcoin (BTC) took a nosedive below $64,000 for the first time in over a month, causing a few heart palpitations in the crypto world. 😱 The last time BTC was this low was back in May, when it bounced back from $61,299 to a high of $71,980. Currently, it's trading at $63,552, down 3.54% in the last 24 hours.

Why the sudden drop? Investors are pulling out of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with total withdrawals for the week hitting $900 million. 😰 Also, daily active addresses on the Bitcoin network have dropped 35% over the last 90 days, suggesting a decrease in demand.

But hey, don't panic! It's just a correction, right? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments! 👇 #Bitcoin #CryptoNews

🚀 Presidential hopeful RFK Jr. is making waves in the crypto world! He's promised to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht if elected, calling his double life sentence for "hosting an e-commerce platform" a bit harsh. 😮

RFK Jr. isn't just talk though. He's proposed backing the dollar with Bitcoin and axing capital gains tax on it. He's even bought BTC for his 7 kids! 💰

He's also against a central bank digital currency (CBDC), citing privacy and structural integrity issues. His latest brainwave? Putting the entire U.S. fiscal budget on the blockchain for ultimate transparency and accountability. 🧐

📉 Bitcoin (BTC) is playing hard to get, flirting with six-week lows. Despite some buyers showing interest at the lows, BTC is playing coy, needing more sustained wooing to fuel a broader recovery. 🥺

The BTC/USD pair is down 3.7% week-to-date and 5.75% in June overall, struggling to find acceptance even at the $64,000 mark. It's like being left on read by your crush! 💔

The market is also showing signs of "ghosting", with a noted lack of real market participation. Automated trading algorithms seem to be having a field day, leaving human traders in the dust.

On a positive note, Bitcoin's Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicators on four-hour timeframes could potentially set up a springboard for a BTC price rebound.

So, what's your take on this? Is Bitcoin playing hard to get or just not that into us? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🚀 Bitcoin's blockchain bandwidth is soaring past 90% for the first time since the April halving. Despite the crypto market being as shaky as a chihuahua in a snowstorm, Bitcoin's adoption and trading activity remain as solid as a bulldog's determination. 🐶

On June 20, Bitcoin's 91.4% dominance outshone Runes' 6.8%, BRC-20's 1.6%, and Ordinals' 0.2% in transactional share.

The bandwidth boost post-halving is largely due to the adoption of new token standards, Runes and BRC-20. Runes, designed to establish fungible tokens on the BTC blockchain, have gained traction faster than a greyhound at the races.

The April BTC halving event, which slashed block rewards for miners by 50%, resulted in miners prioritizing transactions with higher fees. This led to an increased number of transactions and a surge in BTC's blockchain bandwidth usage.
