The story has been somewhat the same for the price of Bitcoin over the past week, drifting further from its recently-notched all-time high of $111,814. On Friday, June 6, the premier cryptocurrency fell towards the $101,000 level, reflecting an uptick in the market volatility over the past few days. While the Bitcoin price has quickly recovered from this sudden downturn, there is still real concern about the market leader’s performance since reaching its record-high value. However, a new indicator suggests that the price of BTC might still have some time to run up to a new high. Analyst Predicts Four…

Aster, a perpetuals decentralized exchange (perp DEX), has launched a “hidden orders” privacy feature less than three weeks after Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao proposed the idea of “dark pool” perpetuals trading. In traditional finance (TradFi), dark pools are private platforms that allow institutions to carry out large trades without revealing their orders to the market. DEXs, by contrast, have historically prioritized transparency, with order and liquidity data visible on-chain. Aster, which boasts a total value locked (TVL) of $290 million, unveiled the hidden order mechanism on Friday in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Hidden orders are specialized order…

As of June 2025, more than 410 billion LUNC have been burnt, with an average daily burning rate of more than 48 million over the last 30 days. Despite the high burn rate, there are still more than 5.4 trillion LUNC in circulation, up from just 380 million in May 2022.

Trying to save the ecosystem and restore the price of LUNC, the community passed a vote to enact a…

Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm a16z said blockchains could steer artificial intelligence toward user ownership and open standards, according to a June 11 report. The paper argued that core context and “agent passports” should reside in self-custodial wallets, providing any large-language-model interface with instant access to preferences without requiring repeated training. A chain-based identity layer would allow agents to carry verifiable records of owners, capabilities, and payment details across email, Slack, and other platforms. Meanwhile, proof-of-personhood systems such as World Chain’s World ID could help screen bots as generative models proliferated. Computation and payment rails For computing, the report promoted decentralized…

Artist Matt Furie, the creator of the Pepe the Frog meme, launched another NFT collection on June 17.
