1. **GENIUS Act approved by the U.S. Senate** The Senate passed the GENIUS Act on June 17-18, 2025, a regulatory framework for stablecoins that requires 1:1 backing with dollars or Treasury securities and monthly audits.
It is expected to strengthen the legitimacy of USDC and other stablecoins.
The bill now goes to the House of Representatives, and if approved, it could be signed by the end of summer (winter in Nicaragua).
2. Impact on Circle and Coinbase
Shares of Circle (issuer of USDC) rose between 16% and 34% following the passage of the law, reaching values between 173–190 USD per share.
Coinbase announced its "Coinbase Payments" system, which already allows payments with USDC through Shopify, and its stock rose ~16%.
3. Implications in markets
Issuing more stablecoins could increase the demand for short-term treasuries, affecting short-term interest rates; although it could reduce liquidity in certain areas of the market.
Economists debate whether this will further strengthen the dollar or present systemic risks.
What does this mean for USDC today?
Stable value: USDC remains pegged to the dollar, with no significant volatility.
Greater confidence: The regulatory framework provides transparency and legal backing, generating more trust among institutions and users.
Growth in adoption: Initiatives like payments with Shopify and institutional backing (Coinbase, Visa, Mastercard, Walmart) drive its widespread use.
Solid backing: USDC is backed 100% by liquid assets, with monthly audits by Deloitte and reserves managed via 2a-7 money market funds.
Current situation
Actual price: ~0.036 USD (this reflects USDC on a Fantom-type blockchain; its parity is usually 1 USDC = 1 USD on many networks).
Ecosystem: USDC operates on more than 20 blockchains, facilitating global interoperability and instant payments.
Outlook: If the GENIUS Act becomes law, it could strengthen its role as the "backbone" of digital payments.

It is a proposed law from the U.S. Senate known as the "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act" (GENIUS Act). Its main goal is to create a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins – cryptocurrencies that maintain a fixed value, typically backed by the dollar.
Key points:
Stablecoins must have a 1:1 reserve with cash or U.S. Treasury bonds.
Mandatory monthly audits and public transparency in their reserves.
Compliance with anti-money laundering (AML/BSA) laws, sanctions, and federal oversight.
Issued only by regulated entities: federal or state banks or fintechs.
Stablecoins under this framework will not be classified as securities or commodities, avoiding regulatory duplication between the SEC and CFTC.
Legislative status as of June 2025
The Senate recently approved it with a vote of 68 to 30 on June 17, 2025.
Now the bill will move to the House of Representatives; if it passes, it will be sent to the President for signature and become law.
Implications and outlook
✅ Expected benefits:
Greater regulatory clarity: a single federal standard under clear oversight.
Enables institutional adoption of stablecoins: banks, fintechs, and large companies will be able to issue under clear rules.
May strengthen the role of the digital dollar and reduce payment costs, including fast and global micropayments.
Critiques and risks:
Several Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren, warn that it does not protect sufficiently against conflicts of interest (such as ties with the Trump family).
There are concerns that it may favor large corporations (Amazon, Walmart, banks), limiting competition in fintech.
Next steps
1. Debate and voting in the House of Representatives during the period leading up to the August recess.
2. If approved, it will be signed by the President, coming into effect.
3. Possible specific rules and detailed oversight by the Treasury, OCC, or other federal regulators.
Altcoins that perform better in a high interest rate environment (June 2025)
When interest rates are high and liquidity is limited, investors tend to prefer projects with solid fundamentals, real use, and good capitalization. Here are some altcoins that have historically performed better:
1. Ethereum ($ETH
✅ Reliable network, great DeFi and NFT adoption.
🏗️ Evolving with improvements like Proto-Danksharding.
💸 Less speculative than other altcoins.
🔁 Good for holding while volatility decreases.
2. Chainlink ($LINK )
🔗 Oracles: connects real-world data with smart contracts.
🤝 Partnerships with institutions (Swift, Google Cloud).
📊 Performs well due to its technical utility.
3. Toncoin (TON)
📱 Integrated with Telegram, with significant adoption in development.
⚡ Fast transactions and low fees.
🌍 Growing community and real use cases.
4. Lido (LDO) or Rocket Pool ($RPL
🧪 Liquid staking platforms on Ethereum.
📈 Benefit when users stake and don’t want to be illiquid.
📉 Tend to maintain demand even if the market is slow.
#FOMCMeeting Bitcoin ($BTC ) and the FOMC: What happened Before the FOMC:
BTC was maintaining a consolidation range, with some expectation of rate cuts, which generates optimism in crypto.
Some analysts expected the Fed to give signals of monetary easing.
After the announcement:
The Fed kept rates unchanged and was more conservative than expected.
BTC reacted with a slight drop, between -1.5% and -3% in the 24 hours following.
This was due to the expected cuts being postponed, which reduces risk appetite.
Why does it affect Bitcoin so much?
1. High rates = less liquidity:
Investing in risk assets like BTC becomes less attractive.
2. Fewer cuts = less market growth:
People prefer safer assets while rates are high.
3. Strong dollar = bearish pressure for BTC:
A strong USD usually implies lower demand for cryptocurrencies.
🔮 What to expect for the coming weeks?
If inflation continues to decline, the Fed could make a cut in September or October, which would boost BTC upwards.
If there are negative data points on inflation or employment, BTC could face more corrections.
Current key support level: $64,000 – $65,000
Important resistance level: $70,000
In summary:
Factor Impact on BTC
Fed keeps high rates 🟥 Negative Inflation moderates 🟨 Neutral with positive bias Cuts postponed to late 2025 🟨/🟥 Short-term pressure Global liquidity still controlled 🟥 Limits strong rallies
The current price stands at $106,750, with an intraday range between $104,600 and $107,200.
In the last session, BTC rose about 1–1.5%, driven by technical signals like a "pin-bar" pattern and a MACD indicating a possible expansion of volatility.
Recent Influences
Geopolitical tensions: clashes between Israel and Iran caused panic selling, briefly driving BTC below $103k on June 13; since then, it has stabilized above $104k–$105k.
Strong institutional flow: weekly inflows of $1.9 billion into BTC investment products are reported, reinforcing the support from professional investors.
Positive technical action: indicators (Bollinger + MACD) show a possible increase in volatility with a higher likelihood of a breakout upward if it surpasses the resistance of $112k.
Short and Medium-Term Outlook
Short-term (next few days):
The key support zone is between $104k and $105k, while immediate resistance is at the $112k level (May high).
A daily close above 0.382 Fib (~$106.7k–$107k) would consolidate an upward trend.
Medium-term (months):
Several analysts and corporate strategies (like MicroStrategy and SoftBank) are increasing BTC holdings, which could lead BTC towards $120k–$250k by the end of 2025, depending on the macroeconomic and regulatory environment.
However, if geopolitical tensions escalate or there is a global downturn in risk assets, we could see a correction below $100k.
Quick Summary
Current Price: $106.7k
Key Support: $104k–$105k
Resistance to Overcome: $112k
Trend: overall bullish, with a high probability of upward volatility in the short term
In October 2024, Vietnam launched its National Blockchain Strategy (2024–2030), promoting the technology with controlled sandbox-type tests.
In December 2024 and January 2025, resolutions such as 57-NQ/TW and 03/NQ-CP were approved to accelerate digitalization and include pilot programs.
February–March 2025: Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính issued Directive 05/CT‑TTg, ordering the Ministry of Finance and the SBV to formulate a clear regulatory framework by March–May 2025.
Pilot Exchange and Sandbox
In March 2025, they confirmed the launch of a pilot crypto exchange, operating under a sandbox mechanism, to enhance control, transparency, and investor protection.
The sandbox will extend until mid-2026 (July, according to some sources) and will last until the end of 2027.
Taxation and Legal Definition
Although cryptocurrencies are not yet officially classified as assets, tax regulations are being proposed: a personal income-type taxation of 10% for individuals, and 20% for companies is under evaluation.
A fixed tax on transactions, similar to that applied to stocks (~0.1%) is being considered.
Current and Future Impact
With around 17 million crypto users and over USD 100 billion in accumulated volume, Vietnam is among the countries with the highest global adoption.
The regulatory regime seeks fiscal resources, protects investors, and retains local talent (currently many companies are outside the country).
A pragmatic approach is promoted: it allows controlled limited trials, anti-money laundering surveillance, KYC, and regulates the issuance of digital assets.
In summary
1. Not prohibited, but use as a means of payment is not allowed.
2. Legal framework in preparation: definition, sandbox, exchange piloting.
3. Taxation: taxes ~10–20%, with a fixed rate for trading.
4. Pilot phase: crypto exchange enabled in 2025–2026, with testing until 2027.
Metaplanet is a Japanese investment company, originally focused on the hotel and technology sectors. Since April 2024, it has attracted the attention of the crypto world by adopting a strategy similar to MicroStrategy, focusing on accumulating Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Last BTC purchase – June 2025 (most recent)
Date: June 11, 2025 Purchase: Approximately 20,195 additional BTC Approximate value: Over $1.2 billion USD Financing: Issuance of convertible bonds by Metaplanet to acquire more BTC.
This move raised Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings to over 30,000 BTC, positioning it as one of the most aggressive non-financial corporations in accumulating BTC.
Why are they doing it?
1. Hedge against Japanese yen (JPY) inflation: Japan has had loose monetary policy for years.
2. Treasury diversification strategy: Bitcoin is seen as an uncorrelated asset.
3. Inspiration from MicroStrategy: The CEO of Metaplanet has made references to Michael Saylor's strategy.
4. Attracting international investors: Especially those seeking indirect exposure to BTC in the Japanese market.
Market impact
Metaplanet's massive BTC purchase contributes to upward pressure in the market.
It marks an institutional trend in Asia towards the adoption of BTC as a strategic asset.
Metaplanet's shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange have risen over 500% since they adopted this strategy. Comparison with other companies

$BTC Latest news and trends in Bitcoin (June 2025)
1. Close to all-time highs
Bitcoin remains around US$ 105,000 – 106,000, consolidating near its record of ≈US$ 112,000 reached on May 22.
Institutional activity is strong, with new highs in flows into spot ETFs and large corporate purchases.
2. Technical indicators and risks
A fractal analysis warns of possible "bull traps", with the risk of a pullback below US$ 100,000 if global risk aversion persists.
Many models (like CoinGlass) still do not show signs of a peak, estimating upside potential between US$ 135,000 and US$ 230,000 for this cycle.
3. Macroeconomic and political catalysts
The weakening of the dollar (−9% in 2025) and signs of possible Fed rate cuts strengthen the case for Bitcoin as a safe haven and risk asset.
Regulatory advances in the U.S., such as the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act (stablecoins), boost the legal environment, favoring the growth of BTC and other crypto assets.
4. Global regulation
In the United Kingdom, the FCA is considering lifting the ban on ETNs for retail, although experts believe this will not transform the market immediately.
In the EU, regulatory preparations (MiCA) continue, and large players like Coinbase and Gemini are expected to obtain licenses.
5. Price outlook
Source Projected price
Gate.com US$ 110,000–115,000 for June, potential US$ 120,000–150,000 in 2025 Finance Magnates/Cointelegraph US$ 150,000–230,000 this cycle, some even talk of US$ 1,000,000 in the long term.
General interpretation

#TrumpBTCTreasury Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) – related to the so-called "Trump BTC Treasury":
1. Approval by the SEC
On June 13, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared effective the S-3 registration statement filed by TMTG for its ambitious bitcoin treasury plan worth $2.3 billion (equivalent to about USD 2.3 B).
This allows TMTG to issue approximately 56 million common shares and 29 million convertible notes, with capital already raised as recently as May 30.
According to the report in AInvest (Coin World), this is "one of the largest bitcoin treasury deals for a public company."
2. Use of funds and strategy
The funds raised will be used to create a bitcoin treasury on TMTG's balance sheet, alongside about $759 million already existing in cash and equivalents (at the end of the first quarter).
CEO Devin Nunes indicated that the goal is to position TMTG as a key player within the so-called "Patriot Economy," integrating bitcoin into its streaming platform, social media, and fintech.
Custody of the cryptocurrencies is handled by Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital.
3. Background and financing
The operation began on May 27, 2025, when it was announced that TMTG was raising $2.5 billion issued through $1.5 billion in equity and $1 billion in convertible debt, specifically to purchase bitcoin.
This is a trend already popular among companies like MicroStrategy (MSTR), GameStop, among others.
4. Ethical conflicts and personal gains
Recent financial disclosures reveal that Trump obtained $57.4 million from the crypto venture World Liberty Financial, where he owns 15.75 billion governance tokens.
He also promotes a memecoin $TRUMP and sought to launch a Bitcoin ETF spot called Truth Social Bitcoin ETF on June 5, custodied by Crypto.com.
These activities, combined with Trump’s public and familial roles (his children involved), have raised concerns about conflicts of interest.

More optimistic sources (InvestingHaven) anticipate a range of $0.66–$1.88 in 2025, with a maximum extended to $2.36, and a target for 2026 close to $3.
🔑 Conclusion: what to expect?
Horizon Most likely scenario
Short term Consolidation between $0.62–$0.68, with a possible definitive break. Summer 2025 Reach of $0.75–$0.95 plausible if the alt market improves and there are key updates. 2026+ If Cardano accelerates in DeFi adoption and scalability, it could reach $1.50‑$3.00.
#CardanoDebate Currently, Cardano (ADA) is one of the most analyzed cryptocurrencies in the crypto space. This debate usually revolves around several key points. Here I summarize the most important:
🔷 1. Advantages defended by its supporters
Scientific and academic: Cardano is based on peer-reviewed research. Many see this as a strength because each update is more formally verified than in other blockchains.
Pioneering Proof of Stake: It was one of the first to implement PoS with mathematical security (Ouroboros).
Sustainability and scalability: With the development of Hydra, it seeks to handle thousands of transactions per second.
Layer separation: It has one layer for accounting (ADA) and another for smart contracts, allowing for greater flexibility and security.
⚠️ 2. Frequent criticisms in the debate
Slow development: Its academic and rigorous approach is criticized for being too slow compared to more agile projects like Solana or Polygon.
Lack of adoption: Although it has infrastructure, there are still few active DeFi projects compared to Ethereum or BNB Chain.
Marketing vs. reality: Some see a lot of “promise” but little “real delivery” in terms of usage volume or revolutionary applications.
📈 3. Current situation (June 2025)
ADA has remained among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, although with significant price variations.
Recent updates like Mithril and advancements in Hydra are trying to position Cardano as a real scalable solution for DeFi.
The community remains active and engaged, especially in regions like Africa, where there are digital identity projects.
Keeping these points in mind, something is happening with $ADA ; you can invest a small amount, and this way you won’t miss out on the boom that is coming.

$ETH An updated overview of Ethereum (ETH) as of June 14, 2025:
Current Situation
Current Price: around $2,553 USD, with intraday movements between $2,497 and $2,579 USD.
Daily Change: almost neutral change (+0.02%), although it has shown drops of around −0.6% recently before stabilizing.
Market Cap: approximately $308 billion USD, positioning ETH as the 2nd largest crypto.
Daily Volume: between $25–27 billion USD, reflecting considerable liquidity.
Factors influencing the price today
1. Resurgence driven by stablecoins Ethereum has benefited from its dominant role in the issuance of stablecoins: almost half are based on its blockchain. This activity strengthens the use of ETH as "gas" in transactions and smart contracts.
2. **Technical improvements ("Pectra")** The “Pectra” update, launched in May, improved speed and reduced costs on the network, which could attract greater institutional adoption and reinforce its infrastructure.
3. Institutional presence and tokenized products Institutional funds such as BlackRock and Fidelity already issue financial products based on Ethereum; In addition, regulatory approval of stablecoins in the US has generated institutional confidence.
4. Volatility due to geopolitical tensions The crypto market, including Ethereum, has experienced oscillations due to the escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran. ETH came to test support levels between $2,500–2,550 USD.
5. Activity of "whales" and futures market Large investors have opened leveraged positions (a whale reported a movement of USD 11 M) around technical breakouts, along with a historic increase in open interest in futures (≈ USD 40,000 M).
$BTC How BTC (Bitcoin) is directly affected by the Israel-Iran conflict, both in the short and medium term:
📉 SHORT-TERM EFFECTS (hours to days)
1. Initial drops due to fear
When the Israeli airstrike occurred, BTC dropped quickly by around 2%-4% in minutes. Why?
Investors flee from risk assets like Bitcoin when there is panic.
They seek refuge in the dollar, gold, bonds, or stablecoins.
2. High volatility
BTC is moving in very wide ranges within hours.
This makes it attractive for short-term traders but dangerous for those seeking stability.
MEDIUM-TERM EFFECTS (days to weeks)
🛑3. Pressure from global inflation
If the conflict causes oil prices to rise (and it already is), that fuels inflation.
Central banks may raise interest rates again → this could be negative for BTC at first.
But if there is weakness in fiat currencies, many see BTC as a safe haven.
4. Narrative of “Bitcoin as digital gold”
In regions where there is a risk of war, banking restrictions, or censorship, Bitcoin gains value:
Easy to move
Does not depend on banks
Cannot be easily confiscated
What analysts are saying now:
Perspective Opinion
Technical BTC is bouncing from key support zones but facing strong resistance at $71,000-$72,000 Fundamental Geopolitics is increasing the perception of BTC as an alternative reserve Institutional Some funds have reduced exposure, but others are waiting to accumulate
What to watch this week?
Brent and WTI oil prices
Interest rate in the U.S. (FED)
BTC/USDT trading volume
Iran's position on cryptos (could use BTC to avoid sanctions)
In summary:
Short term: BTC may fall due to fear and uncertainty.
Medium term: if the conflict prolongs, BTC could rise as an alternative financial refuge, especially if there are sanctions, inflation, or banking controls.
You can wait to see what happens, or act and invest.
#IsraelIranConflict The Israel-Iran conflict has an immediate and potentially profound impact on the world of cryptocurrencies, both due to market sentiment and the global macroeconomic changes it generates. Here I explain the main effects:
💥 1. Increase in volatility in the crypto market
Geopolitical uncertainty causes investors to flee from risk assets.
Cryptocurrencies, especially altcoins, tend to suffer sharp declines during military conflicts.
For example: right after the attack, BTC briefly fell, while USDT and USDC gained volume as temporary safe havens.
🛢 2. Impact on oil prices → inflation → crypto
If the conflict affects oil supply in the Middle East (for example, blocking the Strait of Hormuz), crude prices will rise.
This would elevate global inflation, which:
Can lead to increases in interest rates (negative for risk assets like BTC).
But also, in the medium term, increases Bitcoin's appeal as a hedge against weak monetary policies.
🏦 3. Greater distrust in banks and fiat currencies in the region
In nearby countries (such as Lebanon, Iraq, Syria) or even within Iran, people tend to turn to cryptos like BTC or stablecoins when their financial system is threatened.
This could increase local adoption of peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies and DeFi services.
🌐 4. Regulatory changes and digital surveillance
In wartime contexts, governments increase surveillance over money flows.
There may be pressure to regulate stablecoins and privacy tools (like mixers or Monero) more strictly if there are fears that Iran or its allies may use them to evade sanctions.
Israel launched a powerful air offensive called Operation 'Rising Lion', with over 200 fighter jets targeting multiple sites in Iran:
Key nuclear facilities such as Natanz
Missile bases in Khondab, Khorramabad, and Tabriz
Death of senior IRGC commanders (such as Hossein Salami, Mohammad Bagheri, Gholam Ali Rashid, and Ali Shamkhani) and prominent nuclear scientists.
Israel claims that the actions aimed to neutralize an imminent nuclear threat, with no detection of radioactive leaks.
Combined Operation
At least 200 fighter jets were used, 330 munitions, and over 330 targets were hit, including missile defense systems and nuclear infrastructure.
Mossad reportedly provided key intelligence, with units operating inside Iran to launch explosive drones.
Iranian Response and Regional Impact
Iran closed its airspace, disrupting flights at Imam Khomeini Airport.
Iranian retaliation: launching dozens of drones against Israeli territory, many intercepted.
Civilian injuries were reported (at least 50 in the targeted Iranian areas).
International Reaction
UN, IAEA, US, China, Russia, EU, and regional countries (Oman, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE) call for maximum restraint and condemn the attack on nuclear infrastructure.
Russia described the offensive as 'unprovoked and unacceptable'.
The United States denied direct involvement but warned Iran against any attacks on US interests.
Australia issued security warnings to its citizens in Iran.
Key Statements
Israel argues that it stopped Iran before it could develop multiple nuclear weapons.
Iran responded by calling it a 'declaration of war' and promised 'severe revenge'.
Netanyahu reaffirmed the determination to continue operations until the threat is eliminated.
