Crypto Weekly (10/06 – 16/06): BTC Correction, Controversy Surrounding zkSync Airdrop

The crypto market last week witnessed significant selling pressure on Bitcoin, leading to a price correction. Additionally, zkSync conducted an airdrop for its community after two years of development, but it sparked controversy and received mixed reactions from the community.

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.
