The crypto market at the end of June witnessed several significant events, accompanied by strong volatility in Bitcoin due to interventions from major players.

Crypto Market Highlights of the Past Week

The crypto market experienced a turbulent week, with Bitcoin, the leading digital currency, showcasing significant volatility. Early in the week, Bitcoin’s price plunged from a high of $64,200 to a low of $58,400, causing concerns among investors about a potential severe decline. However, by the end of the week, Bitcoin made a remarkable recovery, climbing back up to nearly $64,000 and erasing most of the earlier losses.

These sharp fluctuations are attributed to the influence of major market players, including governments from the U.S. and Germany, and notably, the Mt. Gox exchange, which was once the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange before its collapse in 2014.

Aside from Bitcoin’s rollercoaster ride, several noteworthy events occurred in the crypto space:

  • Wall Street Giants Enter the Market: Major financial institutions on Wall Street began venturing into crypto with the launch of the Solana Spot ETF.
  • SEC’s Ongoing Legal Actions: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continued its legal scrutiny of blockchain companies, specifically targeting Consensys and MetaMask.
  • Blast Airdrop Disappointment: The much-anticipated airdrop by the Blast project ended in disappointment for many in the community.
