3. BlackRock's Bitcoin Spot ETF Reaches $69.7 Billion, Accounting for 3.25% of Bitcoin Supply

BlackRock's Bitcoin spot ETF (IBIT) has surpassed $69.7 billion in assets under management, holding 3.25% of the total Bitcoin supply and capturing 54.7% of the U.S. Bitcoin ETF market. Notably, this ETF has entered the top 25 global ETF asset management rankings in less than a year and a half of operation. Glassnode data shows that the average amount of a single Bitcoin transaction currently stands at $36,200, with transactions over $100,000 accounting for 89%, indicating that institutional investors are dominating the market. However, a report from CryptoQuant pointed out that the number of short-term Bitcoin holders has decreased from 800,000 to 4.5 million since May 27, showing that new market funds are drying up. CryptoQuant believes that if investor demand continues to weaken, Bitcoin may seek support around the $92,000 level. -Original

5. Celsius Founder Abandons Bankruptcy Asset Claims, Creditors Gain More Repayment Opportunities

Celsius founder and former CEO Alex Mashinsky and his affiliated entities have officially abandoned all claims to Celsius's bankruptcy assets and will no longer participate in any distribution of the bankruptcy estate. The agreement was submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday. According to the agreement, all claims submitted or registered by Mashinsky and his three affiliated companies (AM Ventures Holdings Inc., Koala1 LLC, and Koala3 LLC) will be withdrawn and deemed invalid, and they will not receive any payments under the bankruptcy proceedings. This decision will release some assets that were previously frozen due to his claims for repayment to more creditors. Mashinsky was previously sentenced to 12 years in federal prison in May 2025 for defrauding Celsius customers and manipulating the price of the platform's token CEL. He pleaded guilty in December 2024 to charges of commodity fraud and securities fraud. Celsius filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2022 and reached two settlement agreements in 2023, transforming into a new entity focused on repaying creditors. As of August 2024, the platform has distributed over $2.5 billion to approximately 251,000 creditors in 165 countries, covering about 93% of the total claims. -Original

7. Hong Kong Does Not Rule Out Stablecoins Pegged to the Renminbi, Needs Comprehensive Risk Assessment

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Hong Kong's Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christopher Hui, recently stated at the Lujiazui Forum that stablecoins should focus on addressing real economic needs rather than merely pursuing technological innovation or interconnectivity. He pointed out that the issuance of stablecoins should follow regulatory principles similar to those of traditional financial institutions, including that issuers must have capital, always maintain sufficient reserves, and ensure that stablecoins can be redeemed within one business day. Regarding whether stablecoins could be pegged to the Renminbi to promote its internationalization, Hui responded that this possibility is not ruled out from a legal perspective, as Hong Kong's regulatory logic is clear and has legal basis, allowing stablecoins to be anchored to multiple fiat currencies. However, he also emphasized that if such arrangements are to be implemented, the country's exchange rate mechanism, monetary policy, and related risks must be comprehensively considered. -Original

8. Ethereum Developers Finalize Scope of Fusaka Upgrade, Add EIP 7939

Meeting minutes show that the 214th Ethereum Core Developer Meeting (ACDE) revisited decisions made in the previous meeting and agreed to keep the final scope of the Fusaka upgrade largely unchanged, only adding one additional EIP, namely EIP 7939. Developers agreed to include the following 12 EIPs in the Fusaka upgrade: EIP-7594 (PeerDAS - Peer Data Availability Sampling), EIP-7823 (Setting an upper limit for MODEXP), EIP-7825 (Transaction Gas Limit), EIP-7883 (Increase in ModExp Gas Cost), EIP-7892 (Hard fork limited to Blob parameters), EIP-7917 (Deterministic proposer foresight), EIP-7918 (Blob base fee limited by execution cost), EIP-7935 (Set default gas limit to XX0M), EIP-7951 (Precompiled support for secp256r1 curve), EIP-7907 (Measure contract code size and increase limits), EIP-7934 (RLP execution block size limit), [New] EIP-7939 (New opcode for counting leading zeros). Developers adjusted some implementation details of the EIPs: the contract code size limit for EIP-7907 was reduced from 256KB to 48KB; the blob base fee parameter for EIP-7918 was adjusted from 2^14 to 2^13; and the maximum blob count parameter was moved from EIP-7892 to EIP-7594. The meeting decided that if at least three consensus layer and three execution layer client teams are ready, the Fusaka Devnet 2 testnet will be launched on June 23. Developers also discussed two new proposals for the Glamsterdam upgrade, but due to insufficient test data, some parameter adjustments will be postponed to the Devnet 3 phase. -Original
