Tether records an operating benefit of $1.5 billion in the second quarter, while its reserves cushion is cut in half.

The world’s largest stablecoin issuer added 14 metric tons of gold and around 1,800 bitcoins to its reserves during the second quarter.

The second-quarter report shows that Tether increased its holdings of physical gold by 14 tons, rising from 132.2 metric tons to approximately 146.2 metric tons over the quarter. However, the value of those reserves fell from $19.84 billion to $18.84 billion because the price of gold dropped by about 15%, to just over $4,000 per ounce.

The company increased its bitcoin holdings by approximately 1,796 coins, reaching 98,933 BTC. The value of those holdings declined from $6.62 billion to $5.8 billion, as the bitcoin price used in the reports fell from $68,200 to $58,600 during that period.

Tether’s USDT issuance rose by approximately $446 million, reaching $184.6 billion during the quarter.

A new study on Bitcoin shows that the strongest recurring liquidation warning signals cannot warn about an individual drop.

The order-flow pattern stood out in six events, while two observations still overlapped with normal market conditions.

Quick summary

01 No price, leverage, or order-flow metric tested consistently warned before the seven liquidation cascades.

02 Price showed a slowdown signal on five occasions, but not during the two sudden tariff shocks.

03 Buyer-flow variance decreased before six cascades, but the pattern was too weak to predict an individual drop.

Bitcoin’s rebound has 4 weeks to obtain its Washington “CLARITY” catalyst before time runs out.

01 - Bitcoin has recovered close to 10% this month, while the Senate considers the CLARITY Act over the next four weeks.

02 - The bill could clarify oversight by the SEC and the CFTC, giving exchanges, developers, and investors a clearer U.S. market framework.

03 - But there is not yet a full Senate vote or a motion to end debate, and disputes over ethics and law enforcement could delay the decision beyond August 7.

BlackRock invested $209 million in Bitcoin recovery, but will it be able to hold?

01- Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US attracted $265.7 million on July 6, led by BlackRock's IBIT with $209.4 million.

02- The capital inflows helped reverse the recent selling pressure and gave Bitcoin a public signal of renewed support from institutional buyers.

03- But GBTC still lost $44.5 million, so the next sessions must show broader continuity that goes beyond a single fund.

Why did Bitcoin plummet below $60,000 when support failed just when buyers were needed the most?

Capital inflows into exchanges, outflows from ETFs, and long position liquidations collided before buyers could stabilize the market.

Quick Summary

01-Bitcoin dropped below $60,000 as 7,600 BTC flowed into Binance and spot ETF flows turned negative.

02-This combo signaled weakening demand and rising sellable supply, turning a routine support test into an absorption test.

03-Traders are now watching if capital inflows into exchanges slow down and liquidation pressure eases, or if $60,000 turns out to be a failed support level.

Long-term Bitcoin holders are selling off at their lowest level in 19 months, while the halving model signals a new date for the market bottom.

Original Bitcoin holders' spending has dropped to a 19-month low, as market cycle indicators point to September as a potential market bottom.

According to data from CryptoQuant, Bitcoin (BTC) holders who acquired their coins over five years ago have reduced their spending to an average of 962 BTC in the last 90 days, the lowest level since November 2024. This slowdown follows three major spending spikes in the past two years, including a peak of 3860 BTC in May 2024.

At the same time, BTC analysts stated that market indicators and profitability converge in the second half of 2026, establishing a new timeline for a potential Bitcoin bottom.

"OG" Bitcoin holders are stepping back.

Crypto analyst Darkfost noted that the current cycle has produced the highest recorded spending level by long-term Bitcoin holders. The group analyzed in the dataset consists of investors who acquired Bitcoin over five years ago.

Using spent transaction outputs (STXO), which track Bitcoin that has moved through the network, the analyst identified three significant waves of spending following strong rallies.

MoneyGram links up with Solana as a validator amidst the push for stablecoin payments.

The remittance company has stepped in as a validator on the Solana blockchain, aiding in processing and securing transactions while expanding its stablecoin payment strategy.

By operating as a validator, MoneyGram will help process transactions and secure Solana's proof-of-stake network, becoming a key player in the infrastructure that keeps the network running.

The company also joined the Solana Developer Platform, an initiative aimed at helping institutions build financial products on the blockchain.

This move comes weeks after MoneyGram launched its stablecoin MGUSD on the Stellar blockchain, showcasing the company’s growing commitment to blockchain-based payment infrastructure. After several years of integrating cryptocurrencies into remittances and payment settlements, MoneyGram is now taking a more active role in the networks that support these services.

"MoneyGram has spent the last few years integrating blockchain technology into our payment infrastructure, and everything we are developing now is built on this foundation," stated CEO Anthony Soohoo in a press release. "We believe the future of global money transfers will be built on open and interoperable stablecoin platforms that anyone, anywhere, can access."

MoneyGram stated that its participation in Solana reflects a broader development strategy based on open blockchain networks, rather than relying on a single chain.

Bitcoin traders are eyeing new lows, but the data warns against an overly bearish bias.

A concentration of liquidity below $59,000 increases the likelihood of a massive sell-off driving Bitcoin's price down to new lows for 2026, but the data suggests that bulls will absorb the dip.

Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching its annual low again, near $59,000, after a failed recovery attempt that prevented bulls from reclaiming key resistance levels. BTC traders are anticipating new lows for 2026 as the price retraces towards a crucial support zone.

However, medium-sized investor inflows on Binance and Coinbase have recently dropped to their lowest levels since April 4, easing selling pressure.

Liquidation data also shows over $4 billion in leveraged positions concentrated around the $59,000 level—a situation that could trigger a liquidity squeeze downwards before a recovery towards the $68,000 range.

Bitcoin traders are targeting a liquidity level below $59,000.

Bitcoin's recovery attempt stalled before reaching the daily fair value gap between $67,500 and $70,500. Sellers regained control near the 50 and 100-day exponential moving averages, which continue to act as upper resistance.

The rejection caused BTC to drop below an ascending channel, confirming a bearish breakout of the structure on the four-hour chart. The price is currently below the channel range, with internal liquidity support near $60,700 as the next area of interest, followed by the annual low at $59,000.

SpaceX shares are dropping after the acquisition of Cursor. How low could it go?

Shares have been in a downward spiral for several days.

After SpaceX's IPO on June 12, the largest in history, turning Elon Musk into a trillionaire, the stock price took a hit shortly after the company announced the acquisition of the AI coding agent Cursor.

The initial price was $135 and peaked over $170 on the same day, according to Mashable. By Tuesday, June 16, it reached a high of over $225, as per Forbes, but some of those gains evaporated on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the $60 billion deal between SpaceX and Anysphere, the startup behind Cursor, was announced. The following day, the price dropped by five percent, according to CNBC, and on Thursday it fell another 3.75 percent.

Markets are closed today, June 19, and the current price of SpaceX shares is $185 at the time of this report. While it has dipped slightly today, it still remains well above its IPO price.

But how much further could it drop? Investment analysis firm Morningstar reported that SpaceX is heavily overvalued, with a fair value estimated at $62 per share, and in the best-case scenario, the stock price would be $169. That would be below the current price but still above its IPO.

However, not everyone believes SpaceX is overvalued. Investment bank Oppenheimer & Co. raised its price target for SpaceX shares from $190 to $250 following the acquisition announcement. Analyst Timothy Horan stated that SpaceX "controls all layers of the AI stack, giving it advantages in cost and quality," and that Cursor is a key component of this.

Therefore, it remains to be seen if the shares will drop much further, and unless they fall below $138, Musk will continue to be a trillionaire.

SpaceX just had the biggest IPO in history; now the real grind begins.

Six days after pricing the largest IPO ever, SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) announced a $60 billion acquisition. Right after that, bankers started prepping a bond issuance worth $20 billion. Subsequently, the stock dropped 9% in a single session.

That's a lot of info to digest in a week. Many are saying "the IPO hype is cooling off". But that take misses the mark. SpaceX isn't getting sold off because its story has flopped. It's adjusting its price because the market is finally trying to figure out how much capital, dilution, and execution will be needed for the story to keep rolling. That's a tougher question than "Is SpaceX a solid company?", and it still doesn’t have an easy answer.

From reinsurance to structured credit: the financial products you didn't know Bitcoin was boosting.

Quick summary

01Bitcoin now backs insurance reserves, rated bonds, loans, and corporate financing beyond ETFs.

02These structures are crucial because they allow institutions to use Bitcoin as collateral, reserve capital, and a balance sheet asset that generates yields.

03The liquidation cascade in February showed that the model works, but sharp price drops can trigger forced sells among leveraged Bitcoin lenders.

UK mutual funds might soon get the green light to hold crypto ETNs, but with a cap of 10%.

The FCA is consulting on the possibility of allowing UK UCITS and most NURS to hold crypto ETNs up to 10%. This would let authorized retail funds gain exposure to cryptocurrencies while keeping direct holdings of Bitcoin and Ether out of the mix. The relevance of this rule hinges on fund managers, as transparency, liquidity, and suitability could deter its uptake.
