Good morning, crypto fam! 🌏 As Asia kicks off the week, all eyes are on Bitcoin$BTC —holding steady at $105,000 despite the rising storm in the Middle East.

🌍 Geopolitical Heat, Market Chill

Traders are on edge as tensions between Israel and Iran risk spilling into a wider conflict. According to QCP Capital, there's serious fear in the air—BTC$BTC puts are now pricier than calls, meaning more people are betting on downside risk. 😬

Yet despite the chaos, Bitcoin isn’t flinching. Why? Because institutions are still buying. Glassnode data shows solid on-chain strength and long-term demand.

🧠 Fun fact: This cycle’s BTC gains are +656%—not as wild as past runs but pretty huge for an asset now worth over $2T!

🔧 Meanwhile... Bitcoin Upgrades Are Brewing

Forget the noise around OP_Return drama—Galaxy Research says it’s not the big deal critics made it out to be. Instead, they’re calling attention to the CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) upgrade, a proposal that could improve Bitcoin custody and scalability.

⚡️ Bybit Drops a Bomb: New Solana DEX!

Bybit just announced Byreal, a Solana-powered decentralized exchange with CEX-level liquidity and speed + DeFi transparency. The testnet drops June 30, and the mainnet comes later this year.

📊 Quick Market Rundown:

BTC: Holding ~$105K after $1B+ in long liquidations

ETH$ETH : Up 2% to ~$2,550 📈

Gold: At $3,447 – Safe haven demand rising

Nikkei 225: +0.87% as Asia digests global tension

---

⚠️ Bottom Line: BTC is steady, but the next big move depends on geopolitics. Institutions are still hungry for Bitcoin—so don’t let the short-term fear cloud the long-term vision.
