Gate officially released the June 2026 Wealth Management Monthly Report, providing a comprehensive review of the June cryptocurrency market trends and the performance of platform wealth management products. The report shows that the cryptocurrency market continued its downward trend in June, with both BTC and ETH recording a monthly decline of about 20%. Market funds leaned more towards caution and risk aversion; the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market dropped from approximately $2.30 trillion to $2.17 trillion. Continuous outflows of institutional ETF funds weakened the marginal buying pressure on BTC and became one of the important factors for its breach of key support and the weakening of market sentiment, with overall risk appetite significantly cooling compared to the previous period.In terms of product performance, the overall scale of Yubi Treasure remained stable in June, fluctuating narrowly in the range of 1.5 to 1.6 billion USDT; the total issuance of GUSD decreased from about 191.9 million at the beginning of the month to about 182.3 million at the end of the month, with the annualized yield maintaining at 2.8% to 3.0%, reflecting strong stability. Among advanced products, the Gate dual-currency investment low-buy strategy with a 0-day term achieved an APY of 295%, significantly higher than the market average of 166%; the Gate quantitative fund continued to exhibit stable returns and low drawdown characteristics, with the "Interstellar Hedge (USDT)" cumulative return leading at 18.7%. With the acceleration of stock allocations following the listing of Korean stocks, by the end of June, Korean stocks accounted for about 75% of the overall holdings, with the top ten holdings focusing on global semiconductor and technology growth assets, with SK Hynix ranking first. The report suggests that in a volatile market, stable returns, quantitative strategies, and diversified asset allocation remain important directions for wealth management. Gate will continue to provide users with multi-layered asset allocation and yield enhancement tools to help investors seize structural opportunities and improve asset management efficiency in a volatile market.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, a report from NYDIG shows that Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30% this year, performing the worst among various assets, lagging behind U.S. Treasury bonds, silver, and the Swiss franc. The report points out that the current slump is due to supply mechanisms rather than risk sentiment, and the timing and structure of the pullback in 2025-2026 are increasingly resembling the adjustment years of 2014, 2018, and 2022. If the 2022 model is fully replicated, the cycle low could be around $38,000-$39,000.However, Bitcoin experienced its lowest volatility year on record in 2025, and some analysts believe this year's pullback may be shallower than in previous bear markets. In Q2 2026, the rolling correlation between Bitcoin and gold increased, with both assets facing sell-offs, and the "devaluation trade" losing momentum. Bitwise stated last week that despite Bitcoin being in the deepest and longest slump since the last bear market, the fundamentals have laid the groundwork for a rapid recovery. NYDIG referred to the CLARITY Act as "the most important forward-looking catalyst for the digital asset industry."

According to The Block, the operational data for June disclosed by publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies CleanSpark, BitFuFu, and Canaan shows that the Bitcoin production of all three companies declined compared to May. Among them, CleanSpark produced 614 BTC in June, down from 671 BTC in May; BitFuFu produced 125 BTC, down from 177 BTC the previous month; and Canaan produced 64 BTC, down from 90 BTC the previous month.The report points out that the reasons for the production decline vary among the three companies. CleanSpark's average operating hash rate in June decreased from 46 EH/s to about 43 EH/s; BitFuFu's total hash rate dropped from 19.5 EH/s to 15 EH/s, mainly affected by a decrease in hosted hash rate, although its self-owned hash rate has risen to 3.5 EH/s; Canaan attributed part of the production decline to maintenance of the power grid at some mining sites.It is worth noting that the aforementioned production decline occurred after the Bitcoin mining difficulty was reduced by over 10% in mid-June, reaching a new low since 2026.

The total circulation of stablecoins has fallen by about $10 billion from the peak in May 2026 to about $312 billion, with a decrease of $7.7 billion in June alone, marking the largest single-month dollar decline since the Terra-Luna event in 2022. The supply of Tether USDT decreased from about $190 billion to about $184 billion, while Circle USDC fell from nearly $80 billion to about $73 billion. However, the overall decline is only about 3%, far lower than the over 26% contraction during the bear market from 2022 to 2023.Market participants believe this fluctuation is a normal adjustment within a strong long-term growth trend, as the market value of stablecoins has doubled in two years. There was also a decline of about $9 billion from late 2025 to early 2026, followed by a return to historical highs. Positive factors include regulatory progress such as the GENIUS Act driving new competitors into the market, the circulation growth of regulated products like Global Dollar (USDG) under Paxos, and major financial institutions still expecting the stablecoin market to reach trillions of dollars by the end of this decade.

Coinbase Institutional stated that U.S. non-farm employment was far below expectations, but the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East has brought inflation risks back into focus for the market. The market is shifting towards pricing "higher interest rates for a longer duration," financial conditions are tightening further, long-term risk assets are under pressure, and the probability of another interest rate hike within the year is also increasing.Amid multiple negative factors, BTC only fell by about 2%, and this relatively resilient performance may indicate that the market is undergoing a bottoming process.

Token Terminal data shows that despite a cumulative decline of about 42% in the overall total locked value (TVL) of DeFi over the past 365 days, the USDC deposit scale on the lending protocol Morpho has grown by about 86%, reaching approximately $2.8 billion.The data indicates that amidst the overall slowdown in DeFi growth, funds continue to flow into on-chain lending protocols represented by Morpho, reflecting that the market demand for USDC yield-bearing lending products remains strong.

According to CoinDesk, the stablecoin market experienced its largest correction in recent years in June, with a total market value decrease of $7.7 billion, marking the largest monthly decline since the Terra-Luna collapse in May 2022.Since the peak in May, the stablecoin market has shrunk by approximately $10 billion, with two major stablecoin issuers being the main driving factors behind this round of correction: the market value of USDT issued by Tether has dropped from about $190 billion in May to $184 billion, a decrease of about $6 billion; USDC issued by Circle has fallen from a high of nearly $80 billion in March 2026 to about $73 billion, shrinking by about $7 billion.However, compared to the cumulative decline of over 26% in the stablecoin market during the crypto winter of 2022, this round of adjustment is still relatively mild. Wall Street institutions remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of stablecoins, with Citigroup previously estimating that the global stablecoin market could reach $1.9 trillion under a baseline scenario by 2030, and could rise to $4 trillion under an optimistic scenario.

According to Jinshi reports, Bank of America Securities analysts stated in a report that the overall CPI in the United States may decrease by 0.09% month-on-month in June, partly due to a significant drop in gasoline prices. However, the core inflation rate is expected to remain high at 0.28% month-on-month or 2.9% year-on-year, partly because demand related to the World Cup is pushing up inflation in the service sector.Based on this forecast, analysts expect core PCE to be slightly stronger than CPI again.

CryptoQuant posted on platform X that Binance's stablecoins are experiencing structural outflows. Over the past 30 days, USDC holdings have decreased from $5.75 billion to $4.6 billion, a drop of about 21.6%; USDT-ETH saw significant withdrawals of nearly $1 billion and $838 million on June 26 and July 7, respectively. Last week, Binance's stablecoin had an average daily net outflow of $115 million.The report states that stablecoins are a key liquidity reserve for the market to absorb selling pressure, and simultaneous outflows typically indicate a conservative capital trend, with liquidity shifting towards cold wallets, DeFi protocols, or over-the-counter trading. The current environment is different from the previous phase where capital circulated among stablecoins, showing a simultaneous decoupling. After over $1 billion in liquidity has flowed out, the market's ability to buffer volatility is declining. CryptoQuant warns that if exchanges lack sufficient cash to cope with structural sell-offs, the market will be more sensitive to sudden fluctuations, and a sustainable bottom will require waiting for new inflows of stablecoin funds.

According to official news, TAC issued a statement regarding the significant price drop in the past 24 hours, stating that the protocol was not attacked, on-chain assets are secure, and the system is operating normally; the team and early investors did not participate in the sell-off, and the related tokens are still within the lock-up and vesting period, with no possibility of unlocking at this stage.

According to Jinshi reports, the US dollar weakened significantly this week, expected to record the largest weekly decline since April, due to a noticeable cooling in the US June employment data, leading the market to lower its short-term interest rate hike expectations for the Federal Reserve. The dollar index fell about 0.5% this week.Against this backdrop, the euro rose to 1.144 USD, with a weekly increase of about 0.5%; the pound rose to 1.3352 USD, with a weekly increase of about 1.1%. The yen rebounded from a 40-year low, with the dollar against the yen briefly retreating to around 161.Analysts pointed out that the dollar's movement has been significantly influenced by employment data and interest rate expectations. If subsequent economic data continues to weaken, the dollar may still face further pressure.

CryptoQuant CEO stated that the capital efficiency of Bitcoin is continuously declining------In 2011, a net inflow of only $5 million could double the price, while this cycle requires about $101 billion to achieve the same effect. He believes that the next parabolic bull market cycle may require net capital inflows on the order of trillions of dollars, and Bitcoin must transition from being dominated by retail-driven ETF trading to becoming a core macro asset. If Bitcoin's actual market value can exceed $1 trillion, the next bull market is still expected to occur, while the current market value of gold has reached $27 trillion, indicating significant growth potential in comparison.

According to Jinshi, due to the continued strengthening of the US dollar, industrial metals are under overall pressure, with aluminum prices falling to their lowest level since mid-February. After a cumulative decline of 16% in June (the largest monthly drop since 2008), the downward trend in aluminum prices has continued. The US dollar index has risen for the second consecutive day, with a cumulative increase of 2.5% over the past two months, which has raised the cost of dollar-denominated commodities for most buyers.

Economist and gold supporter Peter Schiff posted on the X platform, stating that the market generally believes it is "almost impossible" for Bitcoin to drop to $20,000, but this judgment lacks basis.Bitcoin fell below the $20,000 level about 3.5 years ago, which is not too long ago, so the possibility of returning to that price range cannot be ruled out. Significant pullbacks in assets over a short period are not uncommon in financial markets.
