Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that after Strategy disclosed the sale of 32 BTC on June 1, it triggered a new round of volatility in the BTC market. He pointed out that the scale of the sale itself is not important, as Strategy still holds approximately 840,000 BTC on its balance sheet, valued at about $5.5 billion. However, as one of the largest digital asset treasury managers in the world, its strategic shift puts pressure on market sentiment.Pandl believes that more importantly, the recent volatility affects the price of Strategy's variable rate preferred stock tool STRC. STRC is designed to maintain a price of about $100 per share, with a current dividend yield of 11.5%. If the stock price falls below $100, it means investors are demanding a higher return. Strategy can increase dividends, but this will increase future cash flow obligations and may lead to more BTC sales, further suppressing BTC prices. Strategy's leveraged business model is under pressure, increasing volatility across the entire BTC market.At the current levels of STRC and MSTR stock prices, Grayscale believes that Strategy's ability to continue accumulating more BTC is limited. However, Grayscale believes that in the long term, reducing the BTC on the leveraged digital asset treasury balance sheet and allowing more BTC to be distributed across diversified corporate balance sheets will benefit the health of the Bitcoin ecosystem. But before a sustainable bottom for BTC prices is formed, other buyers need to enter the market. Grayscale expects BTC prices to recover in the coming months, but in the short term, BTC's performance may lag behind other segments of the crypto market that directly benefit from regulatory clarity.

According to analyst Adler's latest post, the Bitcoin Impulse indicator, which reflects Bitcoin price momentum, has dropped to -59, indicating that market momentum has quickly turned negative; meanwhile, the 30-day Net Taker Volume Position Change indicator, which measures changes in active buying and selling power, has also fallen below the zero axis for the first time in nearly three months, suggesting that the active buying demand that drove the previous upward trend has basically been exhausted.Momentum indicators typically lead changes in capital flow. Currently, both the fast and slow momentum indicators are in deep negative territory, with the fast momentum close to -90 and the slow momentum quickly dropping to -59 after falling below the zero axis at the end of May. On the other hand, although the 30-day active buying demand indicator has just turned negative, it has not yet entered the "bear market zone."Adler believes that the current market is transitioning from a "buyer-dominated" phase to a "seller-dominated" phase, with an overall risk-off state. If active buying demand further declines and enters the bear market zone, while momentum continues to remain negative, it will further confirm the market's bearish trend; conversely, if active buying returns above the zero axis, it may provide an opportunity for market rebound.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released the "Draft Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2030" and is seeking public comments. The goals proposed in the draft include "providing a solid regulatory foundation for digital assets and distributed ledger technology through a rational, coherent, and principle-based approach."The document points out that a modernized framework will also ensure that custody, trading, and staking services can operate under appropriate regulation, avoiding duplicative or conflicting requirements, while clarifying jurisdictional issues between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. This coordination aims to ensure that the crypto market has clear, principled, regulation-based rules of the game, promoting innovation while maintaining the highest level of investor protection. Furthermore, the document suggests that the agency's responsible use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology could further enhance regulation, reduce costs, and unlock new efficiencies.

Vitalik posted on platform X, stating that building index-tracking assets based on options rather than debt is worth considering and trying, using options as the foundation of DeFi instead of CDPs and liquidation mechanisms. This design can avoid the extreme price fluctuations that cause severe and global liquidation effects, allowing exposure to the index to deviate from preferred exposure in a smoother secondary manner.Its key advantage is that it does not require instant oracles and can operate based on slow oracles, which are the types of oracles used in prediction markets. The design has a clear drawback, which is the need for regular rebalancing, and it remains to be clarified whether and how rebalancing can have sufficient slippage resistance.Vitalik added that compared to relying on oracles that must provide real-time answers and may be induced to give incorrect real-time answers without human remediation time, he believes that holding algorithmic stablecoins placed within such mechanisms is safer.

Driven by optimistic expectations for an extended ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, the U.S. stock and oil markets continued to strengthen this week. The S&P 500 index rose for the ninth consecutive week, setting the longest winning streak since 2023; Brent crude oil stabilized around $92 per barrel. However, the cryptocurrency market failed to follow the rise of macro risk assets. Over the past week, Bitcoin fell 2.6% to $73,445, Ethereum dropped 2.5% to $2,011, Solana decreased by 2.2%, and TRX saw a decline of 5.6%, making it one of the weakest tokens among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Market analysts believe that the cooling inflow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs is putting pressure on coin prices.In contrast, some small and mid-cap tokens performed remarkably well. Among them, the native token of Hyperliquid, HYPE, surged 19.4% this week to around $65, becoming the biggest highlight in the market. Previously, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) CEO Jeffrey Sprecher referred to Hyperliquid as "a bigger opportunity than Nasdaq" at the Bernstein conference, further boosting market sentiment. Additionally, BNB rose 1.9% this week, XRP increased by 0.7%, and DOGE remained basically flat.On the macro level, U.S. President Trump stated that a final decision on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire memorandum is close, but he still insists on Iran abandoning its nuclear program, handing over its enriched uranium stockpile, and opening the Strait of Hormuz. Market participants believe that due to significant differences between the two sides on key issues, the current rebound in risk assets remains relatively fragile, and any negative news regarding the Iran negotiations could trigger a reversal in market sentiment.

Hyperliquid's lobbying organization, Hyperliquid Policy Center, issued a statement welcoming the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)'s latest regulatory initiatives, including the approval of the first listed perpetual contract in the U.S., the release of a policy statement on the listing of perpetual derivatives, related interpretive guidance, and a no-action relief letter, as well as staff consultation documents regarding 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement.The Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that these initiatives represent the first time in a long while that regulators have explicitly acknowledged the legitimacy and importance of perpetual contracts in price discovery and risk management. It pointed out that past regulatory uncertainty has led to related markets and liquidity flowing overseas, weakening the U.S.'s competitiveness in the global derivatives market.The Hyperliquid Policy Center also expressed its eagerness to work closely with the CFTC to promote the establishment of a regulatory framework that applies not only to centralized intermediaries but also to on-chain protocols. Currently, most perpetual contract trading activities actually occur in on-chain markets.

As the Bitcoin price fell back to around $73,000, the market experienced significant selling pressure accelerating, with sellers continuing to dominate the spot market, and the pressure of chip distribution is gradually accumulating.Recently, during the process of Bitcoin falling back from above $80,000 to around $75,000, spot demand, ETF fund inflows, and volatility expectations have all continued to weaken. Although market positions have been somewhat reset, investor confidence remains limited, presenting an overall cautious wait-and-see attitude.
