The Nasdaq Crypto Index expanded its lineup from five to nine digital assets. The SEC’s decision is pending on whether the Hashdex NCIQ ETF, which tracks this index, will be allowed to align its portfolio with the expanded index.

Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Chainlink (LINK), and Uniswap (UNI).

The updated index serves as the benchmark for the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF. However, the NCIQ ETF is currently not permitted to hold the newly added assets due to existing SEC rules, which limit it to investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum only.

#MarketRebound 🚀
Bitcoin leads crypto market recovery

​The cryptocurrency market is seeing broad-based gains today, with Bitcoin trading around $109,300.00, up over 3.5% in the last 24 hours. This marks its highest level since late May and reflects a 7.5% gain from its monthly low.

​The rally represents a significant technical breakthrough for the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation. Bitcoin's move above the $109,000.00 level has broken through key resistance that had held since the late May highs.

​This surge comes after a period of consolidation that saw Bitcoin trading in a relatively narrow range throughout early June. The breakout suggests renewed buying interest and potentially sets the stage for further gains if momentum continues.

​The move also demonstrates Bitcoin's continued correlation with broader risk assets, as the cryptocurrency responds positively to improved global sentiment and reduced uncertainty around international trade relations.

#USChinaTradeTalks
US-China trade, minerals talks in London set to extend to second day; Trump upbeat

June 9 U.S.-China trade talks were set to extend to a second day in London as top economic officials from the world's two largest economies sought to defuse a bitter dispute that has widened from tariffs to restrictions over rare earths, threatening a global supply chain shock and slower economic growth.
Talks at Lancaster House, an ornate UK government mansion, wrapped for the night on Monday and were set to resume at 10 a.m. BST (0900 GMT) on Tuesday, a U.S. source familiar with the negotiations said.

Washington and Beijing are trying to revive a temporary truce struck in Geneva that had briefly lowered trade tensions and calmed markets.
Since then, the U.S. has accused China of slow-walking its commitments, particularly around rare earths shipments.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday put a positive spin on the talks, saying that they were going well and he was "only getting good reports" from his team in London.

Bitcoin price shows strength, but will BTC bulls be able to push through $110K?

Bitcoin’s correlation to stocks and uncertainty about the future of the US economy could cap BTC price gains below $110,000.

Bitcoin
BTC
$109,673
rose 3.5% between June 7 and June 9, approaching the $108,500 mark. Despite this recent uptick, professional traders remain notably cautious, as reflected in BTC derivatives metrics. Broader macroeconomic tensions persist, and Bitcoin continues to show a strong correlation with the stock market, limiting its short-term upside potential.

Some analysts anticipate Bitcoin could rally to $150,000 as the US government nears a $4 trillion increase to its debt ceiling. However, futures market data suggests short-term hesitance, likely driven by unfavorable macroeconomic signals and a misreading of Bitcoin’s potential supply shock.

#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy
New South Korean president vows to support crypto growth!!

South Korea has elected Lee Jae-myung of the left-wing Democratic Party as its new president, following the impeachment of conservative leader Yoon Suk-yeol. A 79.4% turnout, the highest in 28 years, helped Lee win with 49.42%, beating right-wing rival Kim Moon-soo.

Lee pledged urgent economic reform, with a focus on supporting low-income families and small businesses. He also vowed to strengthen the domestic cryptocurrency industry, promising to introduce spot crypto ETFs and a won-backed stablecoin market.

Both are currently prohibited under existing financial rules.

The new president aims to complete the second phase of South Korea’s digital asset legislation, with specific measures targeting stablecoin regulation and exchange transparency. His plan includes reducing restrictions in blockchain innovation zones to accelerate local growth.

Although crypto reform was also promised by impeached predecessor Yoon, progress stalled during his administration. With nearly 10 million crypto users, South Korean regulators seem ready to ease rules, giving Lee a chance to fulfil his crypto promises.

Bitcoin Whale Breaks Silence With $26 Million Transfer — What’s Going On?🐳

Based on reports, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale made a surprise move this week, snapping up 250 BTC for about $26.37 million. It’s the first time this wallet has shown activity in two years.

The purchase has stirred talk among traders and on-chain analysts alike. Some see it as a sign that big players are getting ready for more action in the weeks ahead.

Whale Returns After Two Years

According to Lookonchain data, the same whale pulled 500 BTC out of Gemini back in 2022 when Bitcoin was trading near $27,400, a move worth nearly $14 million at the time. Now, with BTC hovering around $105,000, the whale’s holdings sit on an unrealized gain of over $39 million.

That kind of profit margin grabs attention. Other large holders often watch these moves closely. They wonder if this is the start of a wider trend or just one wallet’s play.

#TrumpVsMusk
A bromance ends: Trump-Musk friendship goes from meteoric rise to epic meltdown in under a year!
The rapid and intense bromance between two of the world’s most powerful men – Donald Trump and Elon Musk – grew fast during the election season. It came to a crashing halt less than six months after Trump’s return to the White House.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote on X in the tweet that seemingly killed the friendship.

Musk was once Trump’s critic and became his friend as the Tesla head pushed further right in his political leanings. It hit its apex after the assassination attempt on Trump in July. Musk then joined Trump on the campaign and quickly dubbed himself ‘first buddy.’ That led to Musk becoming the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which was tasked with slashing the federal budget.

The relationship turned sour as the two disagreed over Trump’s spending bill. Musk left the White House and the two remained friendly, at least in public. That changed as Musk posted criticism of the bill online and culminating with the meltdown on social media between the two.

#AltcoinETFsPostponed 😬😬😬

The SEC delayed a final decision on the XRP Spot ETF until June 17, disappointing the market’s more bullish hopes. It also postponed a ruling on the DOGE and Ethereum staking ETFs and could delay again until mid-October.

Although this deferral seems bearish on the surface, it didn’t cause a huge market splash. The Commission has been moving slowly on precedent-setting decisions like a settlement with Ripple, but it may decide on an XRP ETF before October.

No Decision Yet on US XRP ETFs

Right now, the crypto industry is so amped to welcome an XRP ETF that false rumors are driving market confusion. The world’s first such asset began trading in Brazil last week, further fueling optimism.

However, the SEC officially delayed Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF proposal, putting a downer on these sentiments.

The Commission didn’t stop there; it also delayed Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF proposal as well as one for an Ethereum staking ETF.

Despite this bearish signal from the SEC, analyst James Seyffart concluded that these delays were anticipated. He went one step further, claiming that the Commission will probably also delay Solana and HBAR ETFs:

“These dates are all intermediate and we will likely see final decisions on a lot of the crypto ETPs in Q4. For the XRP spot ETF, [I’m] eyeing mid-October, around the 18th, as a final decision deadline. It’s possible the SEC won’t take all that time to make its decision, but a lot will hinge on how actively they engage on the applications,” Seyffart explained.

Although the SEC is under more crypto-friendly leadership, that doesn’t mean a bonanza of ETF approvals will start immediately.

#Trump100Days
Trump discusses first 100 days of historic presidency !!
President Donald Trump discussed his first 100 days in office during an exclusive interview with ABC News, discussing a wide range of topics from the economy to immigration, executive powers, and foreign policy.

In an Oval Office sit-down with ABC News anchor and Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran, Trump highlighted his administration's immigration policies and sought to reassure anxious Americans on the economy. He acknowledged that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be "tapping" him along in Ukraine peace talks and repeatedly criticized his predecessor, Joe Biden.

And he delivered positive remarks about some of his administration's officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and billionaire Elon Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency.

Here are more headlines from ABC News' exclusive sit-down with Trump.

'They did sign up for it'
Asked by ABC News' Moran for a message to voters who may feel some anxiety at the prospect of higher costs from tariffs, Trump claimed that he has delivered on his signature campaign pledge to lower prices on his first day in the White House.

"There is a lot of concern out there," Moran said. "People are worried, even some people who voted for you sayin', 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns?"

Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on," Trump replied. "I said that we've been abused by other countries at levels that nobody's ever seen before … I could've left it that way, and at some point, there would've been an implosion like nobody's ever seen. But I said, 'No, we have to fix it.' I've -- I've wanted to do this for many years."

Trump claimed credit for what he said were lower prices for gasoline and groceries, pointing specifically to eggs, which emerged as a major issue during the 2024 campaign.

Stablecoin Issuer Circle Gains Abu Dhabi In-Principle Approval Amid Global Expansion!!🚀

Circle has secured in-principle approval to operate as a money services provider in Abu Dhabi, marking a key step in its Middle East expansion.

Circle Internet Financial, the USDC stablecoin issuer, has received the in-principle approval from Abu Dhabi regulators. With the approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the firm can now serve as a money services provider in the region.

Circle Brings New Capabilities to Investors in Abu Dhabi

Per the announcement, having an in-principle approval does not mean that Circle has bagged a full regulatory approval from ADGM. Instead, it shows that the stablecoin issuer is compliant and has met all the necessary requirements of the agency. As a result, it can conduct financial businesses in the region. The full approval may be a few weeks or months away.

In light of the recent development, Jeremy Allaire, Co-founder and CEO of Circle, noted that such approvals mark a way for the UAE to pave the way for responsible innovators interested in building the internet financial system. He claimed that the in-principle approval from ADGM advances the firm’s strategy to establish deep roots in specific markets.

Circle is keen on markets embracing the onchain economy and those creating new pathways for investment and innovation in the region. Little wonder that it became the first stablecoin issuer to comply with the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation after securing an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from France’s banking regulator (ACPR).

The milestone reflects the company’s enduring commitment to global stablecoin oversight. The goal is to strengthen trust, compliance, and adoption worldwide without compromising the resilient foundation for the internet financial system.

#ArizonaBTCReserve
Arizona legislature pushes for a state bitcoin reserve!!💰💰
The Arizona state legislature approved a pair of bills on Monday that could pave the way for the creation of the country’s first-ever state Bitcoin reserve.
The fate of the bills, which mimic President Donald Trump’s moves on the national level, is now in the hands of Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.

The pair of bills, both spearheaded by Republicans and passed largely along partisan lines through the state House and Senate, would allow the state to invest up to 10% of its public funds in digital assets like bitcoin. According to a 2023 audit, Arizona holds more than $30 billion in state-managed assets.

#TrumpTaxCuts
Republicans sprint to wrap up Trump’s tax bill!!

House Republicans are sprinting to wrap up President Donald Trump’s tax bill by Memorial Day. It’ll be an uphill effort.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will reconvene his “Big Six” meetings on the GOP tax bill this week with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Congress’s tax chiefs. Meanwhile, GOP leaders are expected to huddle on Wednesday with a hardcore contingent of Republicans who have threatened to throw a wrench into the legislation without an expansion of the state and local tax deduction.

The flurry comes as GOP lawmakers start planning to put pen to paper on trillions of dollars in tax provisions that are the cornerstone of Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” It is also set to include more than $100 billion for immigration enforcement, new defense spending and an array of energy provisions for oil and gas production.
Trump has called on Congress to make his expiring tax cuts from 2017, largely affecting individuals, permanent and to implement a raft of new breaks for domestic manufacturers, tipped wages and auto loans, to name a few. In principle, Senate and House Republicans are all on board with enacting the costly agenda.
In practice, there’s a huge chasm between the tax plans set up by the two chambers — and plenty of potential blowups as deficit hawks in the House demand any tax cuts be paired with deep and politically perilous spending cuts.

JP Morgan Analysts Say XRP And Solana ETFs Could Bring In Billions

Wall Street used to scoff at crypto. Now, it’s lining up behind it, pen in hand, ready to sign off on the next wave of blockchain-backed ETFs. And this time, it’s not just about Bitcoin or Ethereum. According to JP Morgan analysts, XRP and Solana could be next in line, and the implications are massive.

For years, XRP battled regulators while Solana battled outages, but both survived, adapted, and evolved. Now, with whispers of ETFs swirling, these once-controversial tokens are being eyed by institutions as billion-dollar opportunities. JP Morgan’s latest report suggests these ETFs could flood the market with capital, pushing prices to levels many thought were out of reach.

So, what are the price predictions? How much money could really flow in? Let’s unpack what’s coming and why XRP and Solana might be about to rewrite the rules of crypto investing.

XRP ETF Momentum Builds: CME Group Signals What’s Next

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group, Wall Street’s go-to for crypto futures, is preparing to launch XRP futures on May 19. That’s not a rumor; it’s a signal. When CME moves, it means institutional money is watching closely and getting ready.

It isn’t just another derivative product. Futures often lay the groundwork for ETFs. JP Morgan analysts have drawn the same map before, first Bitcoin futures, then the ETF. Ethereum followed. XRP could be next.

With Ripple gaining legal clarity in the US, the timing couldn’t be more strategic. The numbers are compelling. XRP has surged to nearly $2.50, its highest since January 2018, as whales scooped up $1.66B worth in just three weeks.

Ethereum Foundation shifts focus to user experience, layer-1 scaling

Ethereum Foundation co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak said the organization’s recent shift allows Vitalik Buterin to spend more time on research and exploration.

The Ethereum Foundation, the nonprofit organization developing the Ethereum ecosystem, is shifting its focus to user experience and layer-1 scaling challenges following its March leadership reshuffle.

On April 21, the Ethereum Foundation co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak shared an X post detailing how the organization has changed since its change in leadership structure.
Stańczak said the change aims to give Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin more time for research and exploration rather than dealing with day-to-day tasks and crisis management.

“Each time Vitalik shares insights or communicates a direction, he accelerates major long‑term breakthroughs,” he wrote.
Stańczak added that Buterin’s recent posts had advanced promising avenues and helped realign the community around the organization’s core values.

Can Ethereum Break Past $2,000 After the Pectra Upgrade??🤔

Ethereum recently experienced a notable surge in price, jumping to $1,800 and gaining 10% over the past week. While it still lags behind on a monthly timeframe, down by approximately 13%, optimism is building due to upcoming developments.

One of the major catalysts driving renewed interest is the scheduled Pectra upgrade, set for a mainnet launch around May 7, 2025.

This upgrade introduces 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and is expected to significantly enhance both staking efficiency and network scalability, adding long-term fundamental value to the Ethereum ecosystem.

The excitement surrounding Ethereum is also rooted in on-chain activity and volume on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). In March, Ethereum recorded a DEX volume of $64.66 billion, while April has seen around $45.57 billion so far.

However, it’s worth noting that Solana is currently outperforming Ethereum in this area, signaling the need for Ethereum to reclaim dominance in DEX activity.
