🚀 1. Bitcoin on the rise and institutional rally
Bitcoin has reached approximately 110,400 USD, very close to its all-time high of May (~112,000 USD), driven by inflationary optimism, possible Fed rate cuts, and strong institutional backing.
Bitcoin ETFs saw asset inflows grow from 91,000 M USD in April to 132,000 M USD in June, a clear sign of adoption by traditional investors.
Technically, a 50‑200 day “golden cross” accompanies a flag pattern breakout, which could point to prices close to 137,000 USD, while key supports are situated between 100,000 and 107,000 USD.
🌐 2. Rise of Ethereum and staking
Ether rose by 9.5%, trading near 2,758 USD, thanks to increasing volume and renewed optimism.
Ethereum staking reached a record of 34.8 million ETH (28% of the total supply), with platforms like Lido, Binance, and Coinbase leading.
🏛️ 3. Political initiatives and controversies
In the U.S., the Trump administration created the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a stockpile of crypto assets with the confiscated (~21,000 M USD in BTC, ~493 M USD in other assets).
In the UK, the FCA plans to allow retail investors to access crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs), although restrictions on derivatives remain, balancing access and innovation.
In the U.S., the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act are advancing through Capitol Hill, focusing on regulatory certainty, consumer protection, anti-money laundering, and reviews of international stablecoins.
🏦 4. Monetary digitalization: euro and stablecoins
The ECB has urged to accelerate the development of the digital euro in response to the rise of dollar-referenced stablecoins (~7% of total crypto), taking advantage of a window of dollar weakness.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., the CBDC (digital dollar) is blocked, but Republican figures support national crypto reserves, like the recent executive order.
📈 5. Companies and corporate adoption
The Japanese company Metaplanet plans to issue ~5,400 M USD in shares to purchase 210,000 BTC (~1% of the total supply), aiming to become a corporate crypto treasury and launch the "Bitcoin Hotel" in Tokyo in 2026.
In the U.S., companies like MicroStrategy have issued convertible bonds (2,600 M USD) to acquire more BTC, an example of synergy between traditional finance and crypto.
🧠 6. Technological trends and DeFi
AI agents in blockchain are expected to grow and surpass 1,000,000 units in 2025, used in multiple areas such as DeFi, social media, and interactive assistants.
Layer 2 of Bitcoin (L2) has recorded a TVL of +30,000 BTC (+600% in 2024), improving scalability and introducing DeFi to Bitcoin.
🌍 7. Emerging markets and regional adoption
In countries with economic crises, such as Venezuela, the use of cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin and stablecoins — has grown strongly as a store of value and resilience tool.
In El Salvador, Bitcoin lost legal tender status in April 2025, following a reform that removed the obligation of acceptance.

🔍 Conclusion
The crypto context in June 2025 is one of expansion, integration, and active regulation. Bitcoin and Ethereum lead in prices and staking ecosystems, while Governments and companies adopt bold strategies (reserves, corporate treasuries, digital euro). The underlying technology (AI, L2, DeFi) is progressing rapidly, and regions with inflation are leveraging cryptocurrencies as savings mechanisms. However, the regulatory environment remains key: legislative advancements and new rules will largely determine the sustainability of crypto growth.
Stay tuned for the upcoming decisions of the ECB, the evolution of ETFs, and the implementation of stablecoins, as they will define the direction of this dynamic market.
