Crypto exchange Bybit will offer eligible customers access to tokenized bond funds managed by PIMCO and China Merchants Bank International, expanding its push into real-world assets through partnerships with Plume and DigiFT.

Bybit’s new RWA Earn platform launched with two tokenized bond funds: the PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund (PDO), which invests across fixed-income assets including corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and government bonds, and the CMBI Investment Grade Bond Fund, which focuses on investment-grade credit in Asian and global markets.

According to Monday’s announcement, the funds are tokenized through DigiFT, a digital asset exchange regulated in Singapore and Hong Kong, while Plume provides the onchain infrastructure used for subscriptions and fund allocation.

RWA.xyz data shows Plume has more than 250,000 RWA holders and supports over 210 tokenized assets. The network processed more than $512 million in RWA transfer volume during the past 30 days.

Bybit said users can subscribe to the products using USDC (USDC) and will not pay subscription, redemption or onchain transaction fees, though the products are not principal protected and returns are not guaranteed.

Tokenized asset sector grows beyond Treasuries

The launch comes as tokenized real-world assets continue to gain traction across both traditional and crypto finance. According to RWA.xyz data, the tokenized asset market was valued at $31.8 billion as of June 12, led by tokenized US Treasury products with around $14.9 billion in assets.

Commodities accounted for roughly $4.7 billion of tokenized assets, followed by asset-backed credit at $2.2 billion and tokenized stocks at approximately $1.5 billion.

Crypto companies have increasingly expanded the use of tokenized real-world assets beyond simple buy-and-hold investment products. In April, OKX integrated BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund into its collateral framework, allowing eligible institutional clients to use the yield-bearing asset as trading margin.

Last week, Archax launched a system on Hedera that enables real-time interest payments for tokenized securities, allowing cash flows to follow assets as they change hands onchain.

The trend has also attracted major Wall Street firms. In May, JPMorgan filed to launch a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum (ETH).

Non-fungible token (NFT) project Pudgy Penguins is winding down its mobile game Pudgy Party and halting further development.

In an X post, the team said on Saturday that it would shift its gaming resources toward Pudgy World, a browser-based experience which it described as the flagship gaming product for the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem. 

“We’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Pudgy Party and halt further development,” the team wrote, adding that Pudgy World offered greater potential for scalability and introducing new users to the Pudgy Penguins brand. 

The mobile game launched in August 2025 and surpassed 500,000 downloads on Google Play alone. Pudgy Party said total downloads have exceeded 1 million.

Pudgy Penguins is consolidating its gaming ambitions around a single flagship product as the project expands beyond NFTs through initiatives spanning toys, gaming, licensing and entertainment.

Total NFT market capitalization climbed to nearly $1.5 billion on Monday from more than $1.3 billion on Friday, according to CoinGecko, but remains far below its 2022 peak of over $17 billion.

Crypto games struggle to find sustainable business models 

Pudgy Party’s wind-down comes as another Web3 gaming project, Fishing Frenzy, and its developer, Uncharted, announced they would cease operations after failing to establish a viable crypto-gaming model.

“Despite our best efforts, we were ultimately unable to prove our thesis on crypto gaming and could not find product-market-business fit,” Fishing Frenzy said in an X post on Monday.

The team said the company had spent the last year testing approaches and different audiences, but had not found a path that inspired the confidence to continue.

Fishing Frenzy will shut down its servers on June 25 at 2:00 am UTC. The project has stopped selling USDC packages and made its FISH token spend-only and untradable.

The team said that the USDC remaining in the FISH/USDC liquidity pool would be redistributed to community members and stakers. 

Magazine: Does ‘Paper Bitcoin’ mean there’s an unlimited supply of BTC?

Bitcoin (BTC) neared $67,000 at Monday’s Wall Street open as the US-Iran peace deal kept risk assets surging.

Key points:

• Bitcoin adds to gains as US-Iran peace cues trigger broader risk-asset upside.
• Traders do not see downside pressure as over yet, with liquidity grabs the focus on low-time frame price action.
• Flagging demand shows signs of recovery after $60,000 holds.

Details of the Iran ceasefire agreement, set to be signed later in the week, delivered major upside to US stocks, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index adding up to 2.4%.

In one of his latest posts on Truth Social, US president Donald Trump reported that shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz oil route was already increasing.

“Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz,” he wrote.

Among traders, opinions still differed over whether Bitcoin would continue higher or abort its latest relief bounce.

“This week is shaping up to be very interesting,” trader Killa told X followers, eyeing a rejection above $67,000.

Trading account JDK analysis argued that it was “still too early to call” a reliable BTC price bottom.

“Now we’re also seeing a break of major resistance and acceptance back into previous value, opening the door for a larger move to the upside,” it wrote on the day. 

“That said, strong bottoms take time. I still expect more chop, and there is still a major pocket of untapped liquidity below that shouldn’t be ignored.”

Bitcoin order-book liquidity remains thin

Commentator Exitpump continued that it was “easy” to push the price higher thanks to thin order-book liquidity both above and below.

Commenting on liquidity, onchain analytics platform Glassnode flagged “supportive” conditions on options markets.

“$BTC has bounced and is now pushing back into a dense cluster of options positioning near $65K. As price moves into these zones, dealer hedging flows can become more supportive, helping stabilize the market after a period of elevated volatility,” it wrote on X.

A separate post noted that overall demand appeared to be returning after Bitcoin’s trip to $60,000.

“Accumulation Trend Scores have turned higher across multiple wallet cohorts, suggesting supply is being absorbed as investors step in following the move to down $60K,” Glassnode added.

The Solana Institute has urged U.S. senators to preserve key provisions of the CLARITY Act as industry participants increasingly look toward an August timeline for advancing the legislation through Congress.

According to Solana Institute President Kristin Smith, the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act provisions included in the CLARITY Act should remain unchanged as lawmakers prepare to consider the bill in the Senate.

In comments posted on X, Smith said the CLARITY Act could soon reach the Senate floor, while arguing that protections for non-custodial blockchain participants are essential to the legislation.

Smith said the BRCA would establish that blockchain developers, node operators, and validators who do not take custody of customer funds should not be treated as money transmitters under U.S. law.

She argued that the language creates a clear distinction between software and infrastructure providers and firms that directly control user assets.

Describing the measure as consistent with guidance issued by the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network last year, Smith said the provision provides legal certainty for open-source software developers and network operators.

She added that major founders, executives, and investors from across the crypto sector had jointly asked Senate leaders not to dilute those protections.

Lawmakers continue debating key provisions

While industry groups push to keep the language intact, several outstanding issues remain under discussion in Washington. Smith noted that BRCA provisions were recently reviewed during a White House meeting involving law enforcement officials, where participants discussed possible changes. Ongoing negotiations over ethics-related language have also remained unresolved.

Those debates come as lawmakers, regulators, investors, and industry representatives prepare to meet in Chicago for discussions focused on digital asset regulation and market structure legislation.

Among the participants expected to contribute to those conversations is Representative Dusty Johnson, who helped advance an earlier version of the legislation through the House Agriculture Committee in a bipartisan 47-6 vote last year.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett said she is particularly interested in hearing how members of the House Agriculture Committee view the Senate’s version of the CLARITY Act.

As chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Commodity Markets, Digital Assets and Rural Development, Johnson is expected to offer insight into how House lawmakers may respond to revisions currently being considered in the Senate.

August timeline gains support

Recent reporting has suggested that congressional timing may be becoming a larger obstacle than policy disagreements.

As crypto.news previously reported, lawmakers, industry organizations, and market observers have increasingly shifted their expectations away from a July 4 signing target and toward the August congressional recess.

According to reporting from Crypto In America cited by Terrett, the Senate must still combine separate versions approved by the Banking and Agriculture Committees, secure 60 votes to advance debate, navigate additional cloture votes on amendments, and pass the final legislation before any revised measure can return to the House.

Terrett wrote on Monday that even if remaining policy disputes were resolved immediately, the legislative calendar leaves little room for a July 4 signing.

The CLARITY Act would establish jurisdictional boundaries for digital assets, placing decentralized cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum under the oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission while leaving qualifying securities under securities regulators.

The bill also contains provisions covering stablecoins, anti-money laundering requirements, decentralized finance activities, and blockchain validators.

Pointing to competitiveness concerns, Smith said the U.S. share of open-source crypto developers has fallen from 38% in 2015 to about 19% today.

She argued that maintaining regulatory certainty could influence where future blockchain development takes place, warning that jurisdictions such as Singapore and Abu Dhabi are competing to attract the industry’s next generation of builders.

TLDR:

• Arthur Hayes received 3,000 ETH worth about $5.42 million through a Flowdesk OTC transaction.
• On-chain records linked the transfer to a wallet previously associated with the BitMEX co-founder.
• The OTC structure reduced order book impact and avoided visible exchange-based buying pressure.
• Ethereum’s recent price strength has increased attention on large wallet accumulation activity.

Arthur Hayes has added 3,000 ETH to a wallet linked to him, according to newly surfaced on-chain data. The transaction carried an estimated value of $5.42 million at the time of transfer. 

Data shows the Ethereum was routed through Flowdesk’s over-the-counter trading desk rather than a public exchange. The move arrives as ETH records a strong daily gain and renewed activity across crypto trading markets.

Arthur Hayes ETH Purchase Emerges Through Flowdesk OTC Transfer

Blockchain tracking data shared by Hupzy and sourced from Lookonchain showed a wallet associated with the BitMEX co-founder receiving 3,000 ETH.

The transfer occurred roughly one hour before the transaction was highlighted on social media. On-chain records indicate the assets were delivered through Flowdesk’s OTC infrastructure.

Unlike exchange-based purchases, OTC transactions allow large buyers to acquire assets without placing sizable orders on public order books.

That approach can help reduce market impact during execution. It also limits visible buying pressure that often accompanies large spot purchases.

The wallet identified in the transaction has been linked to Hayes through previous blockchain activity. The transfer therefore attracted attention across crypto trading communities.

According to the data shared by Hupzy, the transaction was valued at approximately $5.42 million based on prevailing Ethereum prices.

The purchase follows a period of heightened volatility for ETH, which posted a double-digit gain over the previous 24 hours.

Hayes has previously made large directional Ethereum bets, making his wallet activity closely watched by market participants.

Ethereum Trading Activity Picks Up as ETH Gains Momentum

The OTC route used for the transaction stood out because it avoided immediate interaction with exchange liquidity.

Market participants often use OTC desks when executing large orders that could otherwise create price slippage.

Hupzy noted that the Flowdesk transaction structure reduced the likelihood of moving the market during execution.

Because the trade occurred away from public order books, no additional spot selling pressure emerged from the transaction itself.

Ethereum continued trading above recent consolidation levels following the transfer. Recent market action placed attention on the $2,450 to $2,500 range identified in the shared market commentary.

While the transaction represents a notable purchase, the data reflects activity from a single wallet rather than a broader market trend.

Lookonchain’s tracking data and Arkham-linked wallet records remain the primary sources confirming the transfer.

The development adds another closely watched Ethereum transaction to a market already seeing increased trading activity and renewed attention toward large on-chain movements.

The Dogecoin price prediction caught a shift on June 15 after President Trump declared the US-Iran peace deal “complete” on June 14, sending a risk-on signal across every asset class and lifting DOGE alongside the broader recovery, per BeInCrypto. Bitcoin surged past $65,000 and the meme sector bounced with it.

Social media speculation around Elon Musk and Pepeto has picked up as SpaceX surged 19% on its Nasdaq debut. The presale crossed $10.2 million at $0.0000001876, the exchange runs live, and the Binance listing approaches while the Dogecoin price prediction stays bearish per CoinCodex. When one meme token loses its engine, the energy finds a new home.

Dogecoin (DOGE) trades at $0.089 per CoinGecko on June 15, up 3.09% as the Iran peace deal lifted risk sentiment. DOGE remains 88% below its all-time high of $0.7376.

The Dogecoin price prediction from Changelly puts the 2026 range at $0.0899 to $0.115, and CoinCodex flags 18 of 30 indicators bearish. DOGE needs a new narrative.

Dogecoin Price Prediction Compared to the Presale Opportunity Pepeto

Why Pepeto Stands Where Dogecoin Stood Before 2021 While Musk Rumors Build

The meme sector spent years loaded with tokens that had nothing behind the ticker. No swap, no bridge, no contract checks. Just noise. The exchange built by the Pepe builder sits on a different level than any other meme coin trading right now, and social media speculation linking Elon Musk to the project keeps building across X and Telegram as SpaceX posts a 19% first-day gain on Nasdaq.

Wallet-draining attacks, trap contracts, and supply dumps that flood the sector all get blocked by Pepeto’s scanning tools. Every order routed through PepetoSwap clears with no deduction taken. Dangerous contracts and malicious wallets get flagged by the scanner before the trade goes through. Assets move between Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana through a bridge that charges zero fees.

The presale cleared $10.2 million while fear still gripped the market, priced at $0.0000001876 as the round presses toward its Binance debut. Every audit line passed under SolidProof. The listing path is guided by a veteran who ran token launches at Binance. Staking rewards compound at 170% APY while the exchange build-out keeps rolling.

Early Dogecoin buyers from 2020 turned small amounts into life-changing sums, and none of those holders believes they bought enough. Pepeto is assembling in that exact window right now, and the wallets positioned before the Binance debut become the stories quoted for years after, while latecomers end up paying the listing price to buy from holders who got in early.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Price at $0.089 as Peace Rally Lifts Meme Coins From Multi-Month Lows

Dogecoin (DOGE) trades at $0.089 on June 15 per CoinMarketCap, up 3.09% on the Iran peace signal, with support at $0.08 and resistance at $0.10. The all-time high of $0.7376 stands 719% above, but that needs a full parabolic cycle.

DOGE at $13 billion is a known name delivering slow returns. Pepeto at $10.2 million before a Binance listing carries multiples a $13 billion token cannot match.

Conclusion

Bitcoin sits at $65,695 and the Iran peace deal just flipped risk sentiment positive while the meme sector searches for its next catalyst, because the pattern repeats across every cycle and wealth always lands in the wallets that commit before the crowd catches on. Early DOGE buyers from 2020 turned small positions into life-changing gains because they moved while the market still looked weak.

Pepeto holders compound 170% APY every hour that passes while the Pepe builder steers the project and the Binance listing window tightens with every stage that sells out. Two kinds of wallets walk out of this window, the Pepeto holders who kept adding to their position every day and the empty wallets that remain empty once the listing pushes the entry permanently beyond reach.

The 2020 DOGE holder who put $100 into a meme coin was sitting on roughly $29,000 at the May 2021 peak, and Pepeto at $0.0000001876 before a Binance listing is that same entry returning one more time, only earlier in the cycle and with working tools already shipping. Every hour the presale stays open is one hour closer to a listing that closes this price forever, and the people who wait past this window will see the next Pepeto update on a chart at a price that makes today’s entry look like the opportunity of a lifetime that walked right past them.

FAQs

What is the Dogecoin price prediction after the Iran peace deal boosted crypto markets on June 15 2026?

The Dogecoin price prediction from Changelly places the 2026 range at $0.0899 to $0.115, with CoinCodex showing 18 of 30 indicators bearish despite the peace rally. DOGE trades at $0.089 on June 15, up 3.09%, with $0.7376 sitting 719% above.

How does Pepeto compare to Dogecoin as an entry in 2026?

Pepeto is the stronger entry because $10.2 million flowed into the presale at $0.0000001876 with a live zero-fee exchange and a Binance listing approaching, while Dogecoin at $13 billion market cap needs a full narrative reset to deliver comparable returns.

Bitcoin (BTC) chart technicals suggest that the BTC price rebound to $100,000 may still happen by September.

BTC/USD daily chart. Source: TradingView

Key takeaways:

• Bitcoin is painting a potential double-bottom and bullish divergence pattern.
• BTC price must break above a resistance confluence near $66,700

Double-bottom hints at 60% BTC price upside

BTC rebounded 13.25% from its local low below $60,000, as a preliminary truce between the US and Iran revived risk appetite across global markets.

The recovery pushed BTC back toward $67,000 on June 15, tracking a broader relief rally in risk assets after the geopolitical breakthrough pressured oil prices lower and reduced near-term inflation fears.

Now, the three-day Bitcoin chart is flashing a potential double-bottom reversal near the $60,000 support zone.

BTC has rebounded from the $60,000 area for the second time in 2026, strengthening the case that buyers are defending the same demand region that previously supported the market during earlier corrections.

BTC/USDT three-day price chart. Source: TradingView

The first bottom formed near the March low, while the latest rebound came after a sharp June sell-off that briefly pushed Bitcoin back toward the same level. As long as BTC holds above the $60,000 support, the double-bottom structure remains active.

The setup’s neckline sits near $81,000, where Bitcoin previously stalled before the latest leg down.

A decisive close above that level would confirm the double-bottom pattern and open the door to a measured move toward $108,000 by August or September, or over 60% from current price levels.

Bitcoin weekly RSI divergence strengthens $100,000 setup

Bitcoin’s weekly chart is showing a bullish divergence between price and the relative strength index (RSI) momentum indicator.

BTC recently made a lower low near the $60,000–$65,000 support zone, but its weekly RSI formed a higher low. That shows sellers pushed the price lower, albeit with less momentum.

BTC/USD weekly chart. Source: TradingView

A similar divergence appeared near Bitcoin’s 2022 bear-market bottom, when RSI recovered before price followed with a multi-month rebound.

In a Monday post, analyst Jelle said Bitcoin may act “similarly to late 2022 in the coming months.”

The current setup now strengthens Bitcoin’s double-bottom case near $60,000. BTC still needs confirmation, with the first big resistance levels near the 20-week EMA at $74,500 and the 50-week EMA around $82,500.

Reclaiming those levels would increase the probability of a summer recovery toward $100,000. While a weekly close below $60,000 would weaken the bullish setup.

Bitcoin bear flag remains a risk

Bitcoin’s short-term chart still leaves room for another downside move before the broader bullish reversal setup confirms.

BTC is testing a resistance confluence formed by the bear flag’s upper trend line and the 20-day EMA (green) near $66,700.

A rejection from this zone could send the price back toward the flag’s lower trend line near $63,600, keeping Bitcoin trapped inside its bearish continuation structure.

BTC/USD daily price chart. Source: TradingView

A decisive daily close below that lower trend line would confirm the bear flag breakdown. Based on the height of the previous sell-off, the measured downside target is $53,850, or about 20% below current prices.

Declining volume during the flag’s formation increases the chances of this scenario, as weak participation often signals that the rebound is corrective rather than impulsive.

Bitcoin whale inflows add downside pressure

The bearish short-term setup also aligns with elevated selling from Bitcoin whales.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfrost noted that whale inflows to Binance rose sharply after BTC’s latest correction. Large holders sent an average of 3,200 BTC per day to the exchange over the past month, up from 1,200 BTC at the end of April.

“This trend suggests that many large holders increased their selling activity, or at least their willingness to sell, during the recent downturn,” he wrote in a Monday note.
