A widely-tracked 5x-leverage perpetual on Hyperliquid tied to SpaceX’s impending IPO, expected to be the largest in history, has declined for three consecutive weeks. The product, tickered as SPCX, traded near $157 on Wednesday, down about 27% from its mid-May launch price of around $216, after briefly touching $230. That does not mean traders are betting against SpaceX, as SPCX still trades above the $135 IPO price. But the implied first-day premium has been cut hard. In May, the contract priced SpaceX roughly 60% above the offer, and it stood closer to 16% as of Wednesday. The company set the…

Dogecoin ($DOGE) has no maximum supply cap. Unlike Bitcoin, which will never exceed 21 million coins, Dogecoin adds a fixed 5 billion new coins to circulation every single year with no end date. As of June 2026, its total circulating supply stands at approximately 154 billion $DOGE, and that number keeps growing. This design was not an oversight, it was a deliberate choice, and it shapes everything about how $DOGE behaves as an asset. How Did Dogecoin End Up Without a Supply Cap? Dogecoin launched in December 2013, created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a fork…

About 60% of users who placed their first World Cup bets on Polymarket had never interacted with blockchain protocols before, suggesting prediction markets are becoming an entry point into crypto. The finding is based on a 90-day Bitget Wallet study shared with Cointelegraph on Thursday that tracked the onchain activity of 857,000 active Polymarket users. Bitget Wallet said the findings suggest some users are entering crypto through prediction markets instead of beginning with token trading or DeFi protocols. Alvin Kan, chief operating officer at Bitget Wallet, told Cointelegraph that earlier crypto onboarding efforts largely focused on making blockchain technology easier…

Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins have experienced sharp declines in recent days. This decline is attributed to increased tensions related to the US-Iran conflict, rising energy costs associated with the conflict, and increasing inflation concerns. Analysts are concerned that inflation, which the Fed has long been trying to bring down to its 2 percent target, will continue to face upward pressure due to increases in energy prices. In the face of these concerns, US inflation is also expected to reach its highest level in the last three years. Inflation, which last exceeded 4% in May 2023, is expected to be announced…

A Framework Already in Place Senate lawmakers working on cryptocurrency tax rules may be ready to act “sooner rather than later,” possibly in the fall, according to Daines, a member of the Senate Finance Committee. He said the groundwork is further along than many observers assume. “We’ve gotten a framework put together,” Daines said, adding that he was hopeful lawmakers could hold a markup on crypto tax legislation this year. A markup would mark the first formal step toward turning the framework into a bill the full chamber could consider. Image source: X The comments, reported by Bloomberg Tax, suggest…

Crypto exchanges are evolving from trading venues into financial infrastructure providers as tokenization, stablecoins, and artificial intelligence reshape the architecture of global finance, according to Bybit Co-Founder and CEO Ben Zhou. Speaking at Point Zero Forum 2026 in Zurich during a fireside chat titled “The Exchange as Settlement Layer: How Tokenization Rewires the Role of a Crypto Platform,” Zhou outlined how exchanges must adapt as financial assets become programmable and settlement becomes instantaneous. “The role of exchanges is changing fundamentally,” said Zhou. “In the early days, exchanges competed on matching engines, latency, and execution speed. Today, we are becoming gateways…

Bitcoin has spent years moving almost in sync with U.S. stocks, especially technology shares. When the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 rallied, Bitcoin usually rallied harder. When equities crashed, Bitcoin often fell even faster. But 2026 has looked very different. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq recently reached fresh all-time highs, fueled by strong corporate earnings and the ongoing artificial intelligence boom. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has remained stuck below $80,000, trading well below its late-2025 peak of $126,000. The divergence has surprised many investors because crypto and equities have become deeply connected over the last few years. Yet this cycle shows that Bitcoin…
