According to The Block, Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin ATM operator Bitcoin Depot has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas to gradually shut down operations. CEO Alex Holmes stated that changes in the regulatory environment have made the current business model unsustainable, with states implementing stricter compliance obligations, including new transaction limits, and some jurisdictions even directly restricting or banning Bitcoin ATM operations.In April, the company experienced a security breach that resulted in the theft of $3.7 million. Last week, the company stated that there were "significant deficiencies" in cash transportation reconciliation, preventing timely delivery of the first-quarter financial report. Preliminary unaudited data shows that first-quarter revenue decreased by 49.2% year-over-year, with a net loss of $9.5 million, compared to a net profit of $12.2 million in the same period last year. The company was founded in 2016 and operates the largest Bitcoin ATM network in North America, with over 9,000 machines globally.

Binance Research released a chart analysis this week indicating that four on-chain signals point to the same conclusion: supply is tightening, and selling pressure has been exhausted.Long-term dormancy: Nearly 60% of BTC supply has not moved for over a year, significantly higher than 27% in 2012. The dormancy rate peaked at 69.5% when the spot Bitcoin ETF was approved in January 2024 and has since remained close to historical highs.SLRV indicator: The short-term to long-term holder value ratio is deeply entrenched in historical bottom territory, indicating a lack of market sentiment. Long-term holders dominate the supply, while short-term speculators have largely exited. Historically, every cycle bottom has been accompanied by this ratio entering the current region.Exchange balances: Since peaking at 17.6% during the pandemic, exchange balances have dropped to 15%, with approximately 500,000 BTC permanently leaving exchanges, and seller supply has fallen to a six-year low.STH MVRV indicator: Since November 2024, the BTC short-term holder MVRV has mostly remained below 1, gradually exhausting selling pressure. Currently, this ratio has rebounded to 1, and short-term holders are beginning to reaccumulate unrealized gains. As profit accumulation is still in its early stages, a new wave of selling pressure is unlikely to emerge immediately; historically, this pattern often appears before a sustained recovery.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn posted on the X platform that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has voted 15-9 this week to advance the CLARITY Act to the full Senate voting stage, with time running short, and it is expected to take about nine weeks.The subsequent timeline may be: June 1: Begin coordinating the bill versions between the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee; June 15: Full Senate begins debate; June 22: The Senate may complete the final vote; July 13: Coordination between the Senate and the House of Representatives is completed; early August: President Trump signs it into law (if it proceeds as planned).Alex Thorn's analysis suggests that the Democrats are focusing on "ethical provisions" aimed at limiting the digital asset holdings and profits of senior officials and their family members, while DeFi regulation and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) are still under negotiation. The CLARITY Act will lay the foundation for innovation in the U.S. digital asset market and investor protection.

Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated on the X platform that the 2x leveraged Cerebras Systems ETF (ticker: CBRG) has officially begun trading, while its underlying asset CBRS only started trading in the afternoon of the previous day, meaning that the launch of the leveraged ETF was completed just hours apart from the underlying asset. This sets a record for the rapid product launch pace. This "fast-follow" ETF issuance model is accelerating, and in the future, leveraged ETFs around non-public or high-profile assets like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI may also emerge with similar rapid replication issuance paths, reflecting a significant increase in the productization speed of the ETF market for new asset exposures.
