핵심요약

• 비트코인은 6월 26일 $59,900까지 떨어지며 연초 대비 30% 하락
• 이더리움은 연초 대비 50% 하락한 $1,580에 거래되며 $2,000 저항선突破 실패
• U.S. 상장 비트코인 ETF는 연초 대비 $4.6억 달러 순출금 기록
• 크라켄은 Aave에 15% 지분 인수하며 $385백만 달러 평가로 투자

도입

비트코인과 주요 암호화폐의 가격 하락은 투자자들로 하여금 디지털 자산에 대한 신중한 접근을 요구합니다. 특히 비트코인이 2년 최저점에 근접하면서 시장 불안감이 고조되고 있습니다. 이더리움의 지속적인 하락과 ETF의 대규모 순출금은 시장 회복을 위한 추가적인 지원이 필요함을 시사합니다.

본문 1: 암호화폐 시장 전체의 위기

암호화폐 시장 전체 시가총액이 연초 대비 30% 감소해 $2조에 이를 정도로 시장 위기가 심화되고 있습니다. 비트코인과 이더리움의 가격 하락은 다른 암호화폐에도 영향을 미쳐 솔라나와 XRP가 각각 40% 이상 하락하는 결과를 초래했습니다. 이는 투자자들의 위험 회피 성향이 강해짐을 보여주며, 단기적으로는 추가 하락 가능성도 배제할 수 없습니다.

본문 2: ETF 출금의 시장 영향

U.S. 상장 비트코인 ETF가 연초 대비 $4.6억 달러 순출금을 기록하며 시장 불안감이 고조되고 있습니다. 이는 투자자들이 비트코인에 대한 신뢰도를 잃고 있음을 보여주며, 이는 비트코인의 가격 하락에 추가적인 압력을 가하고 있습니다. ETF 출금이 지속될 경우, 비트코인의 가격 하락이 더 심화될 가능성도 있습니다.

본문 3: 크라켄의 Aave 지분 인수

크라켄이 Aave에 15% 지분 인수하며 $385백만 달러 평가로 투자한 것은 DeFi 시장에도 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. Aave는 세계 최대의 분산형 대출 플랫폼으로, 크라켄의 투자로 인해 Aave의 시장 점유율이 더욱 확대될 가능성도 있습니다. 이는 DeFi 시장의 성장 가능성을 보여주지만, 동시에 규제 리스크도 존재합니다.

결론

비트코인과 주요 암호화폐의 가격 하락은 시장 불안감을 고조시키고 있습니다. ETF 출금이 지속될 경우, 추가 하락 가능성도 배제할 수 없습니다. 그러나 크라켄의 Aave 지분 인수는 DeFi 시장의 성장 가능성을 보여주며, 장기적으로는 시장 회복을 위한 긍정적인 신호로 읽힙니다.

Weekly Wrap: Bitcoin Nears Two-Year Low

Leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC ) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: $ETH ) reached their lowest levels of the year over the past week.

In late afternoon trading on June 26, Bitcoin was trading at $59,900 U.S., near its lowest level in two years and down more than 30% year-to-date. Ethereum’s price is down nearly 50% on the year at $1,580 U.S. Bitcoin has fallen below the key support level of $60,000 U.S. while Ethereum struggles to break through resistance at $2,000 U.S.

Other cryptocurrencies such as Solana (CRYPTO: $SOL ) and XRP (CRYPTO: $XRP ) also fell over the past trading week and are each down more than 40% at the end of the year’s first half. The total crypto market cap has declined by 30% to nearly $2 trillion U.S. in this year’s first half. A big issue continues to be outflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest daily outflows of the month on June 25 as Bitcoin’s price dropped below the $60,000 U.S. level. The latest withdrawals have pushed year-to-date net outflows from BTC ETFs to $4.6 billion U.S. Analysts warn that investor sentiment towards digital assets remains weak.

Here’s what else happened with cryptocurrencies over the past week…

Kraken Buys 15% Stake In DeFi Lender Aave: Crypto exchange Kraken is in talks to acquire a 15% stake in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave at a $385 million U.S. valuation. A deal would see privately held Kraken invest 35,000 Ethereum in return for 250,000 AAVE tokens and a 15% equity stake in the DeFi lender. In all, the deal is worth $71 million U.S. Aave is the largest decentralized lender and enables users to lend and borrow cryptocurrency assets without the use of intermediaries.

Strategy Says It Has Enough Cash To Fund Its Dividend: Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (NASDAQ: $MSTR ) said it has enough cash on hand to fund the dividend on its preferred stock for another 10 months. The company is trying to soothe investor concerns about the dividend’s sustainability. The preferred stock (NASDAQ: $STRC ), which pays a twice monthly dividend that yields more than 12%, has broken its par value of $100 U.S. per share and fallen 23% in June.

SBI Holdings Acquires Bitbank: Japanese financial services firm SBI Holdings (OTC: $SBHGF ) has agreed to buy cryptocurrency exchange Bitbank for $289 million U.S. The Tokyo-based bank said the purchase of Bitbank will expand its crypto business. SBI Holdings previously bought crypto exchange Bitpoint in 2022. Bitbank is among Japan's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, with 24-hour trading volumes of $50 million U.S.

Binance To No Longer Provide Service In Europe: Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has told customers in the European Union (EU) that it is suspending services because it will not have an operating license in place by July 1. Users across Europe have been emailed and told the exchange is no longer accepting new registrations and will restrict services across the EU. The move comes after Binance failed to secure an operating license in Greece, which would have given it access to the entire European Union.

Kalshi Targets $40 Billion Valuation Ahead Of IPO: Prediction market Kalshi is seeking to raise new capital at a valuation of $40 billion U.S. The new valuation is nearly double the $22 billion U.S. that the company was valued at in its last funding round and comes as Kalshi says it is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO). The new $40 billion U.S. valuation would put Kalshi ahead of rival prediction market Polymarket, which was last valued at $15 billion U.S.

Meta Platforms Is Building A Prediction Market App: Technology giant Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: $META ) is reportedly developing a new prediction market app called “Arena.” Meta is developing a smartphone app similar to Polymarket and Kalshi that would allow users to participate in prediction markets. Initially, users would not bet real money on the platform. The app will use a video game-like points system instead. However, Meta has not ruled out allowing real money bets in the future.

Ethereum Foundation Cuts 20% Of Workforce: The Ethereum Foundation is cutting 20% of its workforce. The Foundation said that it is eliminating 54 full-time employees, equivalent to 20% of its workforce, as it concludes a months-long reorganization process. In a bog post, the Foundation said that the changes will give it “the structure, activities, and people necessary for execution on the critical tasks ahead.”

HIVE’s Stock Jumps 20% On Positive Research Results: Shares HIVE Digital Technologies (NASDAQ: $HIVE ) rose 20% after the company produced positive research results on its microchip cluster. Specifically, HIVE, which is a Bitcoin miner turned artificial intelligence (A.I.) infrastructure provider, showcased research from Columbia University on its graphics processing unit (GPU) cluster in Paraguay. The study found that its Nvidia (NASDAQ: $NVDA ) A40 GPUs delivered performance that was comparable to newer systems for certain workloads.

Polymarket Used Fake Information On Social Media: A media report claimed that prediction market Polymarket paid social media creators to promote fake bets and fabricate winnings online. An investigation by The Wall Street Journal said that Polymarket spread false and misleading information on social media as it promoted its prediction market to investors. The newspaper said it reviewed 1,105 videos posted by 10 social media creators and found that 70% of the featured wagers were not real.

Hut 8 Pays $2.35 Million To Settle Lawsuit: Hut 8 (NASDAQ: $HUT ) has agreed to pay $2.35 million U.S. to settle a class action lawsuit related to its 2023 merger with U.S. Bitcoin Corp. The investor lawsuit alleged that Hut 8 misled investors in connection with the all-stock merger that was finalized in November 2023. Investors claimed that Hut 8, which has pivoted to artificial intelligence (A.I.) data centres, overstated the U.S. Bitcoin transaction's benefits while failing to disclose energy curtailment and internet connectivity issues.
