1. Trump states currently unwilling to negotiate with Iran: On June 17, Trump expressed that he is not very willing to negotiate with Iran at the moment, seeking a more proactive solution than a ceasefire, or possibly sending Vice President Pence and Witkoff to negotiate, while drug tariffs are on the way. In addition, according to market news, Trump will hold an emergency meeting today to discuss the U.S. stance in the Middle East situation.
2. Matrixport: Bitcoin ETF net inflow of $11.2 billion in eight weeks, bullish logic remains valid: Matrixport released an analysis on June 17 indicating that the Bitcoin ETF attracted $11.2 billion in new funds over the past eight weeks, but the coin price only rose about 10%, possibly due to some participants selling off or waiting to re-enter. However, the overall bullish logic remains valid, with stable buying support in the Bitcoin market, and the ETF shows almost no continuous net outflow. Although MicroStrategy's pace of increasing positions has slowed, the inflow of funds still supports Bitcoin prices.
3. The Blockchain Group increases capital by approximately €7.2 million to advance Bitcoin reserve company strategy: On June 17, official news stated that The Blockchain Group, the first Bitcoin reserve company in Europe, will conduct a capital increase of approximately €7.2 million based on the 'ATM type' capital increase plan signed with TOBAM to advance its strategy.
4. Plasma announces no further increase in deposit limits, total limit set at $1 billion: On June 17, the stablecoin project Plasma officially stated that the deposit limit will no longer increase, with a total limit set at $1 billion. The system will continue to operate after the recharge channel is closed, and withdrawals before the lock-in period starts are not limited, but withdrawing or transferring voucher tokens will reduce the allocation share.
5. Former Federal Reserve insiders survey shows interest rate outlook trending towards moderate conservatism: News on June 17 indicates that former Wall Street Journal economic reporter Jon Hilsenrath collected opinions from former Federal Reserve officials and staff, showing they expect rising unemployment and inflation rates in the coming months, which may complicate the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions. Respondents expect the Federal Reserve to maintain expectations of two rate cuts of 25 basis points each this year, but many believe that a single rate cut or no cut would be more appropriate. This survey comes as the Federal Reserve is set to hold a policy meeting this week, during which economic forecasts will be released, and Trump's import tariff policies as well as the federal budget bill being advanced by Congress could affect the Federal Reserve's decisions.
