Crypto Market Recap
In the second week of June, Bitcoin continued its downward correction despite continuous purchases from Bitcoin ETF funds in the previous week. BTC dropped from the $70,200 level to around $65,000 and is currently fluctuating around $66,400. Strong selling pressure pushed Bitcoin to its lowest level in the past two months, influenced by interest rates and inflation concerns in the United States.
Notably, the Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, zkSync, recently airdropped tokens to its supportive community. However, this distribution method sparked controversies and faced opposition, leading to many individuals boycotting the project.
