Bitcoin price rebound wobbles as Israel defies Trump and hits Iran, sending oil back toward $100
Bitcoin’s brief weekend rally lost its footing as a sudden resumption of military hostilities between Israel and Iran triggered a broad rotation away from risk-on investments.The geopolitical escalation, which defied explicit diplomatic pressure from Washington, sent global energy benchmarks surging and equity markets lower, leaving BTC to defend a highly fragile $60,000 baseline.Data from CryptoSlate showed that Bitcoin retreated to approximately $63,316 as of press time, after reaching an intra-day high of $64,128 during a weekend short squeeze.Bitcoin Price Performance in the Last 24 Hours (Source: Tradingview)This reversal underlines the crypto market vulnerability to a mix of institutional deleveraging, fatigue…
A New York judge has paused a lawsuit seeking ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets holding an estimated 3.8 million BTC. The plaintiffs are attempting to use New York’s lost-property laws to claim inactive wallets, a legal theory not previously applied to blockchain assets. Attorney Ian R. Cohen argues the law was designed for tangible property and that existing virtual currency legislation already addresses dormant crypto holdings. A lawsuit attempting to secure ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets has been paused by a New York Supreme Court judge, delaying any effort to obtain a default judgment until at least a…
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes warned that rising competition from Wall Street, Binance and traditional exchanges could undermine the fee-driven buyback model supporting Hyperliquid’s HYPE token. Hayes sold his entire HYPE position, a stake worth roughly US$18 million, on June 4, despite having set a price target for the token in a March essay. HYPE traded near US$59 after his exit, down about 14% over seven days from a recent peak above US$75. Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX, has cautioned that intensifying competition could threaten Hyperliquid’s HYPE token, days after he sold his entire position well short of the US$150…
Crypto exchange HTX will permanently remove President Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial’s fiat-backed USD1 stablecoin from its trading platform.Beginning June 7, the digital asset exchange said it will systematically convert all eligible retail customer balances of the USD1 token into Tether (USDT) at a strict one-to-one valuation.This intervention arrives as direct retaliation after the Trump-affiliated decentralized finance project blocked access to several HTX-controlled blockchain addresses.Management at the trading platform insists that the blocked wallets contain standard retail customer funds rather than illicit capital, and frames the freeze as a violation of user property rights.The exchange added:“Given that the USD1 stablecoin…

Ethereum’s slide to its lowest level in more than a year is testing the Wall Street trade that brought the token deeper into institutional portfolios.Data from CryptoSlate shows that the second-largest cryptocurrency fell to as low as $1,506 during the last 24 hours, its weakest level since April 2025, extending a broad crypto selloff that has already drained leverage from derivatives markets and pushed traders toward defensive positioning.Crucially, the downswing is not confined to ETH’s spot market as the digital asset is also experiencing a broader deterioration across regulated ETF flows, centralized exchange deposits, and derivatives positioning.This situation comes at…
Decentralized finance has gotten a lot safer over the past six years, and a new review of protocol losses from 2020 through 2025 puts a pretty large number behind that claim.Industry-wide DeFi losses peaked at $2.62 billion in 2022 and fell roughly 80% to $534 million by 2024. Bridge hacks that once produced billion-dollar headlines now account for a tiny slice of annual totals, and the typical exploit today does about a quarter as much damage as it did at the peak.While this is certainly great news for the crypto industry, there’s still quite a bit of risk left; it…
