Hyperliquid’s biggest advantage is starting to look like its cleanest legal risk: the no-KYC access model CZ says Binance cannot copy. In a Galaxy Brains episode published June 18, Galaxy’s Alex Thorn spoke with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao about the crypto cycle, perps moving onshore, prediction markets, and Hyperliquid’s no-KYC model. Thorn’s June 16 clip made the distinction clear: CZ praised Hyperliquid’s product, said Binance cannot compete with a niche built around no KYC and claimed decentralization, and said he would not run that model given his own experience. The discussion has also evolved beyond CZ simply saying Binance cannot…

Bitcoin’s latest pullback was not driven by a single headline. Instead, traders were hit by a cluster of pressure points at the same time: weakness in global technology stocks, another heavy day of spot Bitcoin ETF redemptions, a sharp leverage flush, and a large monthly options expiry that kept the market focused on downside strike levels.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw roughly $691.7 million to $696 million in net outflows on June 25, extending a six-day redemption streak. A large Deribit monthly options expiry,…

Ethereum Price Drops as Market Pressure Builds Ethereum is back under pressure as $ETH trades near $1,660, falling by more than 5% in the last 24 hours. The move comes during a wider crypto market selloff, with Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, BNB and Dogecoin also trading in the red. However, Ethereum now has an additional story weighing on sentiment: the Ethereum Foundation has reportedly cut around 20% of its workforce as part of a wider internal restructuring. For traders, this creates a difficult question. Is $ETH only falling because the entire market is weak, or is the Foundation’s shake-up adding extra…

A new survey from CoinShares has revealed a significant blind spot in the UK’s asset management industry: 52% of respondents in the United Kingdom believe their advisory firms are unaware of more than half of their clients’ cryptocurrency holdings. The finding underscores a growing disconnect between the rapid adoption of digital assets by individual investors and the preparedness of traditional financial institutions to track and advise on those assets. The survey, which polled 261 asset management professionals across five European countries — the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland — found that the UK figure was more than double…
