According to ChainCatcher news, The Block reported that digital asset bank Sygnum released a report indicating that companies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are continuously increasing their Bitcoin holdings through leverage, which may undermine Bitcoin's suitability as a central bank reserve asset. Data shows that Strategy currently holds 582,000 Bitcoins, accounting for 2.8% of the total supply, with an unrealized gain of approximately $22 billion.The report suggests that excessive concentration of Bitcoin holdings by companies could lead to decreased liquidity and increased price volatility, thereby affecting central banks' willingness to allocate. Currently, 144 companies worldwide have established Bitcoin reserves, of which 114 are publicly traded companies. Bernstein estimates that the scale of this sector could grow by $33 billion over the next five years.Sygnum specifically pointed out that some companies are increasing their Bitcoin holdings through leveraged tools such as bond issuance, and their operational models have deviated from traditional corporate financial strategies. If the market turns bearish, it could trigger a wave of selling and exacerbate price declines. Currently, countries like the United States and the Czech Republic have begun exploring the inclusion of Bitcoin in national reserves, but Sygnum believes that excessive accumulation by companies may delay this process.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the number of active addresses on the NFT trading platform OpenSea reached 467,322 last month, setting a new high since mid-2023. Data shows that there have been 236,091 active users from the beginning of June to now, which may reach or exceed the levels of May.Despite the rebound in user numbers, OpenSea's monthly trading volume remains far below peak levels, with May's trading volume at $81 million, while it peaked at over $5 billion in January 2022.The user growth may be attributed to OS2 officially exiting the testing phase and launching fully in May. OS2 supports token and NFT trading across 19 blockchains, including fungible tokens supporting Solana, and has introduced a rewards system called "Voyages," where users can earn experience points through on-chain activities.Users generally expect that platform participation will be a consideration for future SEA token airdrops, but OpenSea has not yet announced a specific issuance date.

ChainCatcher news, the seven-day average transaction volume on the Bitcoin network dropped to 317,000 last Friday, marking a new low since October 2023. Due to the sluggish trading activity, some miners have started looking for transactions with fees below the Bitcoin Core default relay threshold (1sat/vB). Mononaut pointed out that one of their transactions was submitted to the Bitcoin mining company MARA (formerly Marathon Digital), which publicly operates a non-standard low-fee transaction channel called Slipstream.On June 6, 31 Bitcoin Core developers jointly signed an open letter opposing node filtering of low-fee or non-standard transactions, emphasizing the essential property of Bitcoin as a censorship-resistant system. The developers pointed out that forcing users to use private channels like Slipstream would undermine decentralization. This stance was opposed by Jan3 founder Samson Mow and others, who believe that core developers are removing protective mechanisms for junk transactions.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States increased for the second consecutive week last week, indicating a weakening labor market amid the worsening economic headwinds brought by tariffs.During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses generally hoarded workers in their efforts to find labor, but the increasing uncertainty brought by President Trump's tariffs has forced some companies to lay off employees.Economists expect that the number of initial jobless claims this month will exceed the range of 205,000 to 243,000 in 2025, mainly due to difficulties in adjusting data for seasonal fluctuations, and similar trends have also emerged in recent years. The rise in continuing jobless claims aligns with consumers' declining confidence in the job market.

ChainCatcher news, Sygnum Bank pointed out in its latest market outlook analysis that the circulating supply of Bitcoin has decreased by about 30% over the past 18 months, leading to a significant decline in market liquidity. Analysts indicate that with the increase in ETF inflows and the rising interest of governments in Bitcoin reserves, the market may face a "demand shock," where the number of buyers far exceeds the available supply of coins.Additionally, the turmoil in the U.S. Treasury market and the weakening of the dollar have enhanced Bitcoin's appeal as a safe-haven asset, further driving demand for it. These factors combined may trigger upward volatility in Bitcoin prices in the coming months.

This data appeared in the 2021 listing documents but was no longer referenced by the company two years later. Two informed sources stated that Coinbase has been in ongoing communication with the SEC this year and has hired Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP to assist in its response.
