The largest ICO in the history of the cryptocurrency market — the Block.one project, which raised $4.2 billion for EOS in 2017-2018, remains one of the most significant. The founders — Blumer, Pierce, and Larimer, attracted investments from Galaxy Digital, Founders Fund, and Bitmain. After the ICO, the company was acquired by major billionaires, and its assets reached around $3 billion, including $2.2 billion in fiat assets and 140,000 bitcoins. Despite criticism and lawsuits, Block.one continues to play an important role, having created the Bullish exchange for institutional traders, investing nearly $10 billion in it. The Bullish IPO is expected in 2025, which will be a landmark event. Over the years, the company has gone through splits, rebrandings, and price declines, but remains one of the key players in the crypto space, demonstrating how large ICOs can transform into sustainable businesses.

In the fight against illegal mining, the confiscation of cryptocurrencies is more important than bans. Deputy Head of the State Duma Committee Anton Gorelkin believes that the seizure of illegally obtained funds is more effective, especially after the discovery of two large 'gray' mining farms in the Irkutsk region with equipment worth over $6 million. The bill from the Ministry of Digital Development, which provides for fines and the confiscation of cryptocurrencies, is under review. Experts emphasize that without clear legal mechanisms and cooperation from energy companies, it is difficult to completely eliminate illegal mining. Measures have been introduced in the Irkutsk region to identify illegal miners through energy network load analysis and neighbor complaints. Confiscation of cryptocurrencies and equipment are important tools in the fight, allowing for a reduction in the load on the energy system and increasing market transparency.$ADA $XRP $SUI

Today, Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing strong selling pressure due to the escalation of the situation in the Middle East. After Israel's strike on Iran on Friday, the market faced geopolitical uncertainty, leading to a massive outflow of capital from the spot market. In the last 24 hours, the price has dropped nearly 5%, hovering around $105,000. Technical indicators confirm a bearish sentiment: the RSI has fallen below 50 (at 48.85), indicating a decrease in buying interest. The MACD is below the signal line, indicating seller dominance. Currently, the price is trading around $105,304, bringing it closer to support at $103,061. If the bulls cannot hold this level, a further decline to $101,610 is possible. However, if demand increases, a rise to resistance at $106,548 remains likely. Stay tuned for news, the situation remains extremely unstable.

Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, explained why he started investing in Bitcoin in 2020. Previously, he referred to cryptocurrencies as a scam, but the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic changed his views. Amid aggressive Fed policies and hyperinflation of traditional assets, he faced a choice: capital devaluation or seeking alternatives. In the end, he chose Bitcoin, considering it a digital equivalent of gold with unique characteristics. Saylor noted that quarantine restrictions and Fed measures led to an economic divide and an increase in the wealth of large investors. In August 2020, MicroStrategy acquired 21,454 BTC for $250 million, and now owns 454,231 BTC worth over $48 billion — the largest public holder of cryptocurrency. For Saylor, Bitcoin became a safeguard against monetary chaos and a way to preserve value in unstable times.

The optimism of retail investors regarding Bitcoin raises concerns, as historically such sentiments often precede market corrections. Social media is currently filled with positive comments, and discussions about reaching new highs are accompanied by greed. The Fear and Greed Index shows a high level of greed, which may signal market overheating. Experienced trader Peter Brandt warns of a potential double top and a drop of up to 75%, comparing the situation to the 2022 crisis. However, a distinguishing feature of the current cycle is the dominance of institutional investors, which complicates forecasting. Ultimately, despite the optimism, there is a risk that the market may soon correct. It is important to remain cautious and closely monitor changes in sentiment and indicators to avoid falling into the trap of greed and incurring losses.

Bloomberg analysts predict a 'summer of altcoin ETFs,' starting with Solana. The probability of approval for a Solana ETF has risen from 70% to 90%. Experts, who previously predicted the launch of a Bitcoin ETF in 2024, expect the process to accelerate. Applications for ETFs have been submitted to the SEC for Litecoin (90%), XRP (85%), Dogecoin (80%), and other altcoins. Many issuers, such as Fidelity and Grayscale, are preparing to launch a Solana ETF. The review deadlines for the application expire in October, but there is a chance of approval earlier — as soon as July, after the SEC clarifies the documents. In February, the Chicago exchange launched futures for SOL, which is seen as a positive signal for future ETFs. Experts believe that the SEC may expedite the procedure, considering the preparatory work of the market and interaction with the regulator. Overall, a busy season of altcoin ETF launches is expected this summer.$BNB $SOL $XRP

Mining bans in Russia are not yielding the desired results, as illegal miners continue to operate. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee Anton Gorelkin believes that confiscating illegally mined cryptocurrency could be a more effective measure. Large 'gray' farms with thousands of devices, valued at tens of millions of dollars, have been identified in the Irkutsk region. Law enforcement agencies have already seized equipment, but owners may hide their involvement through proxies and rental schemes. The draft law from the Ministry of Digital Development provides for fines and confiscation of cryptocurrency for illegal mining, which will help combat illegal farms. Experts insist on the need for cooperation between energy companies and the implementation of clear legal mechanisms — fines and confiscations — to limit illegal mining. In the Irkutsk region, measures are also being introduced to identify illegal miners through load analysis and anomalies in energy networks, which helps combat this phenomenon.

Despite approaching historical highs, on-chain activity in the Bitcoin network has decreased to levels seen in October 2023. The daily number of transactions has dropped to 256,000, with an increase in transactions with minimal fees. For example, a transaction from the developer mononaut was processed for 11 satoshis (about $0.01), which took approximately a month. Experts attribute the decline in activity to the use of private channels like Slipstream, which has drawn criticism from Bitcoin Core developers. They oppose filtering low-fee transactions, emphasizing the importance of decentralization and censorship resistance in the network. In the future, there are plans to remove the data size limit for OP_RETURN, allowing for larger files, such as media, to be published. This initiative has sparked debates within the community regarding potential implications for the security and decentralization of the network.

Experts highlight four main factors that could lead to a bullish breakout for Ethereum (ETH). The first is the active long-term accumulation of ETH by BlackRock, which has acquired about 269,000 coins worth $673 million since May 2025, indicating serious intentions from institutional investors. The second is network growth: the number of transactions has reached 42 million, and active addresses have reached 440,000, indicating an increase in the use of DeFi and stablecoins. The third is the decline in the ETH/BTC ratio to a six-year low and a high level of overselling, which could signal a trend reversal. The fourth is the increase in ETH staking to 4.65 million coins, which reduces the available supply and puts upward pressure on prices. Overall, analysts believe that under these conditions, ETH could reach $9,000 by 2026, signaling a potential powerful market surge.$BTC $BTC $BNB

The rise in inflation in the US may hinder Bitcoin (BTC) from reaching a new all-time high. In recent days, the price has reached around $110,000, raising hopes for a new ATH. However, the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which will be released on June 11, creates uncertainty. Inflation for May is expected to increase to 2.5%, which may heighten concerns about the rising cost of living and trigger a market correction. Current trader sentiment indicates greed, which may signal an approaching peak. If the CPI exceeds expectations, BTC could drop to $108,000 or lower. Meanwhile, if inflation turns out to be below forecasts, the price may continue to rise and set a new high. The significance of this event makes the market situation very tense and unpredictable.

Despite the decline in the number of transactions on the Bitcoin network to levels not seen in almost 19 months, the asset itself remains an important part of the financial world. While the activity is mainly related to the Ordinals protocol and a long-term Hodl strategy, experts believe that Bitcoin still serves the function of 'digital gold', acting as a reserve asset for both private and institutional investors. Unlike the original idea as a payment system, today most transactions occur through stablecoins and second-layer solutions like the Lightning Network. Miles Suter from Block emphasizes that Bitcoin is turning into a universal payment platform while also being an asset for storing value. Overall, despite the current fluctuations in activity, Bitcoin's role as a digital asset and protocol for fast payments continues to strengthen, indicating its multifaceted nature in the modern financial space.$BNB $BTC $ETH

The "Bitcoin Family" divided the keys to their cryptocurrency storage into four parts, keeping them on four continents to enhance security after threats. The head of the family, Didi Taihuttu, shared that in 2017, he invested all his money in Bitcoin at a price of around $900. After receiving threats and attacks, the family completely re-evaluated their protection system, abandoned hardware wallets, and switched to a hybrid storage system with the division of secret phrases. They keep 65% of their assets in "cold" storage designed for retirement when Bitcoin reaches $1 million. The remaining funds are for daily expenses, in "hot" multisignature wallets. The family avoids visiting France due to the rise in threats and attacks on crypto millionaires. Taihuttu aims to increase their capital to $100 million, of which 60% is in Bitcoin, and the rest is in altcoins.
