Cardano's ADA ADA was down 1.71% over the past 24 hours, trading at $0.6229 as of June 14. The asset briefly slipped to $0.6176 before stabilizing, holding its footing despite a sharp wave of selling from large holders. According to recent market data, whales have offloaded over 270 million ADA —worth roughly $170 million — in a move that has added significant pressure to the token’s price action during a week marked by geopolitical volatility.Yet, amid the sell-off, the Cardano Foundation unveiled a new product aimed at enterprise adoption. On Thursday, the organization launched Originate, a blockchain-based solution for verifying product origin and authenticity. Designed to help businesses streamline compliance and protect against counterfeits, Originate allows companies to digitize and track critical product data on-chain, enabling instant verification by consumers and regulators.On its website, the Foundation emphasized that Originate is built to strengthen brand trust in industries where supply chain transparency is critical. By positioning itself as a tool for regulatory compliance and consumer assurance, the product may help bolster Cardano’s reputation in enterprise circles —especially at a time when investors are searching for real-world use cases beyond DeFi and staking.The announcement comes just days after ADA was added to the Nasdaq Crypto Index, joining Bitcoin and Ethereum. While short-term sentiment remains fragile due to whale behavior and broader risk-off macro trends, Cardano’s expanding institutional profile could provide longer-term support.Technical Analysis HighlightsADA ranged between $0.6176 and $0.6428, closing near $0.6229, a 1.71% daily loss.Resistance remains strong near $0.642–$0.645, while price broke below support at $0.636.Heaviest volume spikes occurred after 18:00 GMT as price dipped below $0.62, triggering brief sell-off followed by consolidation.Trend remains bearish with lower highs forming throughout the day, and rejection at $0.635.Price action suggests near-term stabilization, but whales remain dominant in setting market directionDisclaimer: Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.

Ether (ETH) ETH traded at $2,508 on June 14, down 0.88% in the past 24 hours, yet managed to hold support above the $2,500 level despite shifting institutional dynamics. According to crypto analytics platform Santiment, wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 ETH — referred to as whale and shark wallets — have added a net total of 1.49 million ETH over the past 30 days. This group increased its combined holdings by 3.72% and now controls 26.98% of the total ether supply.Santiment noted that while smaller, retail-driven wallets have been taking profits, these large holders have steadily accumulated. The divergence in behavior highlights growing long-term conviction among ether's key stakeholders, even as retail sentiment appears to be wavering following recent price declines.At the same time, U.S.-listed spot Ethereum ETFs registered $2.2 million in net outflows on Friday, marking the end of a 19-day inflow streak. The reversal, as confirmed by data from Farside Investors, is the first sign of slowing institutional demand via these ETFs since late May.Still, ether's broader structure remains intact. Following a pullback from recent highs near $2,870, ETH continues to hold above a historically significant support zone near $2,500. The persistent accumulation by whale and shark wallets may provide an important floor for price, particularly if macro conditions stabilize and regulatory clarity improves.Technical Analysis HighlightsEther traded between $2,499.39 and $2,580.53 over the past 24 hours.Price peaked near $2,580 in the early hours before entering a steady decline.The token briefly dipped below $2,500 before bouncing to close near $2,518.76.Late-session volume surged, particularly around 17:30–18:00 GMT, coinciding with the rebound.Support appears to be forming around $2,500, a key psychological and technical level.Despite modest losses, ETH maintained a narrow range of $81.14 (3.14%), showing relative stabilityDisclaimer: Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.

Litecoin LTC fell more than 4.3% over the past week, and is down more than 14% for the last 30-day period, with the latest sell-off coming as part of a wider risk asset sell-off.That sell-off came after Israel attacked Iran in a bid to put an end to its nuclear program and harm its missile capabilities, and Iran later retaliated with a salvo of missiles.The conflict has spooked global markets, reducing the total cryptocurrency market capitalization by more than $150 billion.LTC was severely affected by the sell-off. As the dust settled, Litecoin attempted a fragile rebound, climbing back above $86. But the recovery has stalled under mounting technical resistance.The $97.80 level, coinciding with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement according to to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model, has proven difficult to breach. Momentum indicators like RSI at 43.46 and a flat MACD histogram show limited energy behind the move, suggesting a phase of consolidation.Volume tells a similar story. Litecoin’s trading activity dropped 42% following the initial plunge, even as it briefly surged through the $85.90 resistance level during a high-volume spike late Friday. That breakout, however, was quickly met with profit-taking that brought it back down to $85.Looming in the background is hope for a spot litecoin ETF. Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart estimate a 90% chance of approval.... Read more

Solana (SOL) SOL traded at $144.14 on June 14, down 2.06% over the past 24 hours, but showed resilience as long-term institutional activity offset retail-driven weakness. Price action remains pinned near the lower end of its recent $145–$149 consolidation zone, following a broader multi-day correction across crypto markets tied to rising geopolitical tension.Despite recent weakness, two major institutional developments suggest deepening engagement with the Solana ecosystem. First, Bloomberg’s James Seyffart confirmed on Friday that this week that all seven spot Solana ETF issuers — i.e. including Fidelity, Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, Franklin, Bitwise and Canary Marinade —submitted updated S-1 filings with the SEC. Each filing now includes staking provisions, making them structurally aligned with solana’s on-chain economics.Second, DeFi Development Corp, a Nasdaq-listed Solana treasury firm, announced on Thursday that it entered into a $5 billion equity line of credit (ELOC) agreement with RK Capital. The facility allows DeFi Dev Corp to issue shares gradually to fund additional SOL accumulation, rather than relying on a single, fixed-price offering. This follows a minor regulatory setback: on Wednesday, the company applied to the SEC for the withdrawal of registration statement on Form S-3. It said it wanted to withdraw a prior S-3 filing due to technical eligibility issues flagged by the SEC. The firm said it would file a resale registration statement in the future to raise the capital it needs.Despite the filing hiccup, the company emphasized its continued commitment to growing its SOL treasury, which currently holds over 609,190 tokens — valued at more than $97 million. CEO Joseph Onorati said in Thursday's press release that the new capital structure offers a “clean, strategic path” to scale exposure while compounding validator yield.SOL’s price appears to be stabilizing as these institutional tailwinds strengthen, even as retail activity remains subdued.Technical Analysis HighlightsSOL traded in a 24-hour range of $4.57 (3.08%), from $144.13 to $148.70.Initial strength faded, with price drifting toward the $144 support level.Resistance remains firm near $149, while short-term rejection hit $145.78.High-volume selling occurred between 13:41–13:47 UTC, with a sharp drop from $145.95.A volume spike at 13:23 UTC aligned with the failed breakout.Whale accumulation continues below $146, though follow-through remains limited.Disclaimer: Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.

Donald Trump’s crypto wallet and branding empire earned tens of millions of dollars last year, with World Liberty Financial netting the U.S. President $57.4 million, according to a newly released federal financial disclosure.The document, published by the Office of Government Ethics, shows Trump’s personal crypto holdings are estimated to be between $1 million and $5 million. He also declared gold bars as investments between $250,000 and $500,000, various money market funds, equity and Treasury bond holdings, and real estate.In addition to his crypto holdings and income, Trump seemingly collected over $11 million in royalties tied to branded merchandise.That includes $3 million for a coffee table book titled “Save America,” $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances, $2.8 million from watches, $1.3 million for “The Greenwood Bible,” a religious book bearing his name, and $100,000 from non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The latter also brought in $1 million from licensing fees.Trump’s assets are reportedly held in a trust managed by his children.While the U.S. President’s financial disclosure document spans 234 pages, Vice President JD Vance filed a 15-page disclosure showing more modest holdings and not mentioning crypto.The White House didn't immediately respond to CoinDesk's request for comments on Trump's holdings. ...

Binance Coin (BNB) is showing resilience after a stormy week for financial markets, as Israel attacked Iran in a bid to limit its nuclear program and missile capabilities, leading to a large-scale missile attack in response.The conflict saw investors flee risk assets and led to more than $700 million in liquidations in the crypto market in just 24 hours, according to CoinGlass. BNB, however, managed to maintain a narrow trading range of just over 1%, resisting a broader altcoin pullback.BNB, after the sell-off, failed to break above $660, its immediate resistance level according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model, and has since been consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern.Despite the setback, the coin has stayed above key support at $640, a zone aligned with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Trading volume analysis suggests sellers dominate near $655.5, while a buyer base forms around $649, the model shows.Technicals signal a mixed picture. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) turned negative, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits just under 50, hinting at fading momentum.Yet the 50/200-day moving averages are nearing a golden cross, and the Chaikin Money Flow indicator remains positive, a setup that has historically preceded upward reversals, according to the model.But sentiment around BNB isn’t all bullish. Net Taker Volume, a gauge of aggressive sell pressure, hit a multi-week low of -$197 million.Meanwhile, even as Binance Smart Chain’s perpetual trading volume rose exponentially month-over-month, this activity doesn’t appear to have sparked new demand for BNB. Futures open interest remains down more than 30% from its December peak.... Read more

Brazil has scrapped a long-standing tax exemption on cryptocurrency gains, with a new provisional measure (MP 1303), imposing a 17.5% tax on all crypto profits for individuals.Previously, individuals selling up to R$35,000 (around $6,300) worth of crypto per month were exempt from taxation. Before the change, gains above that were taxed progressively, reaching as high as 22.5% for volumes over $5.4 million.The new rule replaces this system with a flat tax, meaning smaller investors will face higher tax burdens while large holders may see their bills shrink, local news outlet Portal do Bitcoin reports.The tax will apply regardless of where the assets are held, including in overseas exchanges or self-custodial wallets. Losses can be offset, but only within a rolling five-quarter window, a rule that will become stricter starting in 2026.The government says the overhaul is aimed at boosting tax revenue after walking back a proposed hike to the IOF financial transaction tax, which had drawn industry and congressional criticism.Alongside crypto, the new measure affects fixed-income investments and online betting, with the former now incurring a fixed 5% tax on earnings and the latter seeing taxes on operator revenues rise from 12% to 18%....

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has agreed to pay $1.8 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by investors in the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, according to several media reports this week.The investors allege that O’Neal misled them by appearing in ads for the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange. The payout is about $1 million more than the $750,000 O’Neal was reportedly paid for his role in an FTX commercial.The former basketball star was among several celebrities, including Tom Brady and Larry David, who were sued for promoting the exchange before its collapse in late 2022.O’Neal has maintained that he was simply a paid actor in the ad, saying after the exchange’s collapse he was “just a paid spokesperson for a commercial.”If the settlement is approved, O’Neal will be released from all future claims tied to the lawsuit. He will not be allowed to seek reimbursement from the FTX bankruptcy estate and will not have to admit any wrongdoing, according to the CNBC report.The lawsuit was filed on behalf of FTX users who deposited funds between May 2019 and late 2022, before the company’s dramatic failure.FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for defrauding customers and investors. His sentence could be cut by over four years.... Read more

Bitcoin hovered around $105,100 on June 14, down 0.22% over the past 24 hours as traders digested geopolitical tension. Price action remained relatively tight, with BTC moving within a $2,090 range from $104,220 to $106,135. The largest moves occurred overnight in Asia trading, where Bitcoin briefly dipped below $104,200 before rebounding on high volume.Much of the recent volatility has been driven by developments in the Middle East. The Israel-Iran war, which some analysts fear could spread to other parts of the Middle East, combined with trade tensions between the U.S. and some of its key trading partners, has unsettled risk markets. More than $1.1 billion in crypto liquidations were recorded during the initial wave of conflict headlines, though bitcoin has shown resilience in the aftermath.Traders appear to be leaning bullish in the medium term, as BTC continues to hold a pattern of higher lows despite intraday wobbles. Profit-taking near $106,000 capped upside momentum, but support near $105,000 continues to draw buyers on dips. Market participants are watching this range closely, particularly as safe-haven demand and risk sentiment remain intertwined.While short-term headlines continue to drive volatility, the broader structure suggests BTC is consolidating rather than reversing. If support around $104,950 holds, Bitcoin may attempt another push above $106,200.Technical Analysis HighlightsBTC traded in a $2,090 range from $104,182 to $106,272 over the past 24 hours.A key bounce occurred at $104,182 with 15,342 BTC traded during the recovery.Resistance formed near $106,200 amid consistent profit-taking.A rising trendline of higher lows remains intact.Psychological support at $105,000 is holding for now.Recent price range: $104,875 to $105,202 in the last hour.A sharp dip below $105K at 07:19 reversed quickly, with $105,200 acting as near-term resistance.Final 15-minute candles showed minor exhaustion, but volume patterns suggest accumulation on dips.Disclaimer: Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.

The crypto market is slightly bouncing back from early Friday’s jitters on escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.After slumping to the $102,600 mark, bitcoin BTC rebounded to around $106,000 before fading lower in the U.S. afternoon hours with reports about a fresh wave of airstrikes targeting Iran. The top cryptocurrency was down 1.6% in the last 24 hours, changing hands at $105,200 and still less than 6% shy of its all-time high price.Meanwhile, the CoinDesk 20 — an index of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding memecoins, stablecoins and exchange coins — has lost 4.4% in the same period of time. Tokens such as ether ETH, avalanche AVAX and toncoin TON were the hardest hit, slumping between 6% and 8%.Crypto stocks, however, aren’t doing too hot. Most equities are in the red, especially bitcoin miners MARA Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT), down 5% and 4% respectively. A notable exception is stablecoin issuer Circle (CIRCL), which is still benefiting from the windfall of its recent IPO; the stock is up 13% today, with news of retail giants Amazon and Walmart reportedly exploring stablecoins adding to the momentum.Traditional markets don’t seem overwhelmingly concerned by the war. While gold is up 1.3%, potentially gearing up for new all-time highs, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are only down 0.4% each.What's next for bitcoin?"Nice bounce thus far and lack of follow-through lower," well-followed crypto trader Skew said in a Friday X post. Market participants will likely remain cautious through the weekend with BTC tightly correlated with traditional markets amid heightened geopolitical risks, Skew added.On the longer timeframe, some analysts see risks of a deeper pullback.10x Research founder Markus Thielen noted that BTC's drop below $106,000 translates to a failed breakout, and traders should wait for more favorable setups before rushing to buy the dip.He highlighted the $100,000-$101,000 zone as key support, warning that a break below could mark a return to the broader consolidation phase similar to last summer.John Glover, chief investment officer at bitcoin lender Ledn, argued that bitcoin entered a corrective phase from its record highs that could see the largest digital asset drop to $88,000-$93,000.He said the $90,000 level could offer a favorable entry for opportunistic investors before BTC resumes its uptrend."Once this pattern has played out, the next move higher to the $130,000 area is expected to begin," he said....
