Solana News

TIA crashed 95%, triggering insider-dump accusations. Co-founder Mustafa Al-Bassam says the treasury still holds $100M and denies any executive sales. On-chain data shows heavy VC unlocks but limited core-team movement. Market funding flipped negative—volatility ahead. I’m watching grant disbursements and exchange inflows for the next clue.

The Fed quietly scrubbed “reputational risk” from its exam manual, yanking banks’ favorite excuse for ghosting crypto firms. It won’t force JPMorgan to love Bitcoin, but it removes a major regulatory shield. Expect smaller banks to test the waters, stablecoin spreads to tighten, and maybe—one day—instant USDC off-ramps. Keep an eye on how the OCC and FDIC follow suit.

While rockets fly overseas and Bitcoin slips, Michael Saylor’s Strategy just filed a surprise 245-BTC buy worth a reported $26 million. The math looks funky, but the message is clear: big players still treat dips as shopping sprees. I see a psychological floor forming even as war headlines rattle nerves. Short-term volatility? Absolutely. Long-term conviction? Apparently stronger than ever.

Bitcoin’s snap back to $105K looks bullish on the surface, but analyst Quantum Ascend still sees an unfinished C-wave crash aiming at $92K. A short squeeze to $108K could come first, giving altcoins a head-fake rally. I’m cautiously nibbling but saving ammo for the ‘pain box.’ Keep your eyes on tomorrow’s CPI and the infamous CME gap.

XRP’s 12% pop on the Iran-Israel cease-fire headline looks tasty, but the on-chain data screams short-term speculation. Exchange reserves are up, funding flipped negative, and Ripple’s SEC saga is still unresolved. I’m sitting this pump out unless we get a real catalyst—peace deals and Twitter hopium don’t count.

Telegram finally zapped Huione Guarantee’s $27 billion scam bazaar, but rival channels instantly soaked up the action, posting a 400% volume spike. The community’s torn: was the takedown progress or just cyber Whac-A-Mole? We dive into the data, trade spicy memes, and share practical steps so scammers don’t yoink your stables next.

HYPE bounced hard off $32 overnight, but the true test sits at $37 — the level that kicked off February’s 33% slide. Bears are eyeing a rejection while bulls need a daily close above $37 to target $42-$46. Funding is flat, open interest is rebuilding, and rumors of cross-margin pools plus a potential Crypto.com listing add intrigue. I’m half-sized long, stops tight, eyes glued to the order book.

June’s ETH dump looks uncannily like the summer 2021 capitulation that preceded a 200 % run. On-chain data shows whales buying, leverage flushing, and fundamentals intact. If the Fed cuts and ETH/BTC reclaims 0.065, alt-season could roar back by July. I’m setting bids around $1,700 and keeping my seatbelt fastened.

Jupiter’s team just mothballed its DAO votes until 2026, betting that shipping cross-chain swaps matters more than token-holder rituals. I walked through the on-chain numbers, community sentiment, and possible outcomes, and I’m still torn. If velocity spikes, this might look brilliant. If a bug hits, expect pitchforks. For now, I’m watching GitHub commits and TVL charts—cautiously optimistic but fully aware I might eat these words.

A slick phishing-meets-API exploit drained $4 M from a Coinbase user, and the thief burned the loot on baccarat and luxury shopping. The community is split: blame Coinbase’s risk engine or the victim’s sloppy op-sec? Either way, it’s a loud reminder to lock down exchange accounts, disable API withdrawals, and maybe move long-term bags off-platform. Stay paranoid—scammers definitely are.

Mashinsky just waived every penny he claimed in Celsius’ Chapter 11—about $4.3 million—clearing the path for slightly bigger creditor payouts and setting a tough precedent for other bankrupt crypto founders. The cash boost is tiny in absolute terms but symbolically enormous: insiders can’t jump the recovery queue. If BTC pops before June distributions, some depositors could recoup nearly half their funds—still a far cry from the platform’s ‘unbank yourself’ mantra. I’m cautiously optimistic but watching the docket like a hawk.

A phone-phishing hustler in New York tricked 45 Coinbase users out of roughly $4 million, then blew most of it gambling online. His sloppy OPSEC left breadcrumbs from KYC exchanges to DraftKings, making the arrest inevitable. The bust highlights rising UX friction, insurance costs, and looming AI-driven scams—while reinforcing the timeless wisdom of cold storage and healthy paranoia.

Trump Media is shouting about a $2.3 billion Bitcoin treasury while simultaneously announcing a modest share buyback. Everyone sees bullish fireworks; I see funding gaps, election-year theater, and a business model that doesn’t print cash like MicroStrategy. Until coins hit a verifiable wallet, I’m calling it political spectacle with meme-stock seasoning.

Missiles streaked across Middle-Eastern skies in early June, but Bitcoin barely budged. Spot volumes spiked, funding went negative, and yet BTC only dipped 4% before climbing back. On-chain withdrawals outpaced ETF outflows, and thick bid walls soaked up panic selling. I’m honestly surprised how mature — maybe even boring — Bitcoin acted, and the data hints that new sovereign-size whales are quietly running the show.

MicroStrategy now holds over 214,000 BTC – more than 1% of the circulating supply – and the community is split between cheering and worry. Exchange reserves are at six-year lows, while next month’s halving slashes new issuance in half. Bulls see an impending supply shock; skeptics point to dormant wallets and Saylor’s debt. I’m cautiously bullish but fully aware that crypto loves to defy easy predictions.

Texas just green-lit SB-21, letting the state park up to $1.2 billion of its Rainy Day Fund in Bitcoin and other big-cap cryptos—beating Trump’s promised federal reserve to market. Community sentiment is wildly mixed; bulls see a big endorsement, bears see taxpayer roulette. The $100 M quarterly cap limits immediate price impact, but the narrative could fuel regional copycats. If BTC hits six figures by 2025, Texans may brag they front-ran Washington for once.

US-Iran strike headlines triggered an overnight frenzy of war-themed Solana meme coins. I tracked wallets, liquidity, and absurd returns (6,400 % in one candle!) while wrestling with the ethics of ‘outrage trades’. The mania hints at deep-seated risk appetite and Solana’s memecoin dominance, but the rug risk remains sky-high.

Trezor has warned users about a phishing email that slipped through its own support system via an HTML-injection trick. The clone site tries to steal recovery seeds, echoing the 2022 Mailchimp leak. Community reactions range from calm reminders to full-blown déjà vu panic. Bottom line: the seed phrase stays offline—always.

Hydra 2.0, LINK’s staking unlock, and Optimism’s L3 Express all hit in the same five-day stretch. On-chain flows and exchange order books suggest ADA and OP have cleaner upside than most traders expect, while LINK’s unlock could surprise to the bullish side if underwater stakers stay put. Keep an eye on $1.05 ADA, $34 LINK, and $6 OP—breaks there could unleash serious follow-through.
