Cryptocurrency: Exploring Its Revolutionary Potential and Underlying Risks

The cryptocurrency market plunged as Bitcoin fell below $26,000, triggered by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair’s statements on countering inflation and possible rate hikes. Leading altcoin Solana also dipped 3%, and MKR saw a 4% decrease due to fears of a loan default. However, despite the gloomy outlook, experts like Sacha Ghebali believe the market could see an upturn if a spot bitcoin ETF is approved, offering a possible crypto market recovery.

Binance recently conducted its 10th LUNC token burn, removing 1.04 billion tokens from circulation and bringing the total destroyed to 33 billion. The market reacted positively with LUNC prices increasing. This burn demonstrates the community’s growing confidence in the project, particularly with upcoming updates such as the CosmWasm v2.1.0 parity upgrade.

The SEC has invited public comments on a Bitcoin ETF proposition, ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting in July. Amidst such events, Bitcoin maintains stability in the $30,000 support area. Applications for Bitcoin ETFs are being evaluated positively by the market, with public opinion eagerly awaited by the SEC.
