Bitcoin fell toward $63,000 on Tuesday, caught in a broad retreat from risk as investors pulled out of the technology stocks that have led markets all year.

The token traded around $63,640, down 0.9% over 24 hours and 3.3% on the week, per CoinDesk data, after touching about $65,076 on Monday and sliding through the session. The selling was marketwide. Ether fell 0.9% to $1,719 and is also down 3.3% on the week, XRP dropped 1.6% to $1.12 for a 9% weekly loss, solana lost 3.4% to $71 and dogecoin slid 6.6% over seven days.

Tron was the rare gainer, up 1.3% on the day and 4.6% on the week. Hyperliquid’s HYPE fell 4.8% on the week.

The pressure came from outside crypto. A rotation out of this year’s best-performing technology and chip shares sank global equities, with a gauge of Asian stocks falling more than 2% after a record close and South Korea’s Kospi plunging more than 6% on fears that the rally in chipmakers had run too far.

US President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Monday to push to build a quantum computer and to focus on creating cryptography that can resist quantum attacks.

The orders aim to take a “cohesive, whole-of-government approach” to accelerate the deployment and commercialization of quantum computing and “protect sensitive technologies and work with allies to ensure adversaries cannot use QIST [Quantum Information Science and Technology] to undermine national security.”

The orders come as China ramps up its quantum computing ambitions following the announcement of its “Five-Year Plan” in March, which aims to expand investment in scalable quantum computers and the development of an integrated space-earth quantum communication network.

Trump’s orders state that within 180 days, relevant agencies must update the National Quantum Strategy to support commercialization and industry partnerships. 

Various agencies are also tasked with identifying implications of increasing scale and performance of commercial quantum computers, “such as the implications for the migration to post-quantum cryptography.”

The order also establishes Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS), a national effort to pursue the development of a quantum computer at a scale intended to “initiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery.”

Focus on post-quantum cryptography

The other executive order aims to secure the US against quantum-assisted cryptographic attacks and is more focused on upgrading to post-quantum cryptography.

“We’re going to be investing in American quantum leadership like never before to stay ahead of the pack,” Trump said.

The order directs the Office of Management and Budget and the National Cyber Director to lead an accelerated, nationwide migration to post-quantum cryptography, ensuring the nation’s data stays secure as quantum technology evolves. 

“The advent of large-scale quantum computers, particularly in the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems,” the order said. 

Major crypto blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana have already started working on post-quantum roadmaps, while the Bitcoin community is still divided on how to approach securing old coins against the quantum threat.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has challenged internet users to identify an anonymous Ethereum document he says he wrote earlier this decade. 

The post turns a privacy debate into a public test of AI text analysis.

Buterin said there have been claims that AI text analysis will make online anonymity hard to keep. He then wrote, “So let me cannibalize a piece of my own anonymity to do an experiment.” He asked users to find a published Ethereum document that he wrote without using his name.

The document has not been named. Buterin described it as a medium-importance Ethereum document and estimated that around 200 to 2,000 Ethereum documents are as important or more important. He added, “Find it,” while noting that he did not know how easy or hard the task would be.

Challenge puts stylometry back in focus

The test centers on stylometry, a method that compares writing style, word choice and structure to link text to an author. Researchers and investigators have used this type of analysis for years, but newer AI tools can scan far larger sets of writing faster than manual methods.

Buterin is a strong test case because he has a large public writing record. His public work includes blog posts, research notes, Ethereum discussions, social media posts and technical comments. That broad record may give AI tools more material to compare against any anonymous Ethereum text.

No one had publicly confirmed a successful identification of the document at press time. That leaves the experiment open and makes the result hard to judge until Buterin or another reliable source confirms a match.

Related Ethereum and AI debate grows

The challenge also fits with Buterin’s recent focus on AI safety and privacy. As crypto.news earlier reported, Buterin urged a local-first approach to AI, warning that cloud-based tools can expose user data and create risks from leaks, manipulation and unwanted actions.

He has also linked AI to Ethereum development. crypto.news reported in May that Buterin said AI-assisted formal verification could become the “final form” of software development. That report noted his view that AI could help Ethereum ship code with machine-checkable proofs of correctness.

The latest test looks at another side of AI. Instead of using AI to improve code or security checks, it asks whether AI can weaken anonymity by finding a writer behind a text. For Ethereum, that matters because many contributors use pseudonyms when they write, build or discuss protocol ideas.

Privacy remains central to Ethereum discussions

The experiment also comes after crypto.news reported that Buterin mapped a three-step Ethereum privacy upgrade in May. That plan focused on account abstraction with FOCIL, keyed nonces and access-layer work to reduce metadata leaks and censorship risks.

Those privacy efforts deal mainly with transactions and user activity. Buterin’s latest test moves the privacy debate into authorship. It asks whether writing style itself can become a data trail, even when a person avoids using a real name.

For now, the challenge has no confirmed answer. It may show that AI can trace pseudonymous authors through writing patterns, or it may show that anonymity still holds when the search area is large. Either outcome would add fresh context to the wider debate over AI, privacy and Ethereum’s open contributor culture.

A group of crypto lobbying organizations has urged Congress to pass a bill on crypto staking and mining taxes without changes, saying it would provide clarity on crypto rewards taxes and ensure blockchains “can be secured by Americans in America.”

The Blockchain Association, the Crypto Council for Innovation and The Digital Chamber said in a letter on Sunday to House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith and its top Democrat, Richard Neal, that the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act should be passed “as introduced.”

“After years of uncertainty about how mining and staking rewards are taxed, the bill provides a durable compromise that innovators can support while addressing concerns raised by some lawmakers,” the group wrote.

The bill seeks to address what the crypto industry has long said is an unfair tax code that views mining and staking rewards as taxable income when received, which the letter argued is a “taxation of phantom income” that can cause liquidity issues.

The bill would allow miners and stakers the choice of paying taxes on crypto rewards either when they receive them or when they sell the assets, which the lobbyists wrote “ensures income is recognized while avoiding immediate taxation before taxpayers can monetize the asset.”

It was introduced earlier this month ahead of a legislative hearing, but has not advanced past the Ways and Means Committee. Democratic Representative Steven Horsford filed an amendment to limit the deferral of crypto reward taxes to five years.

Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim posted to X on Monday that Horsford’s amendment would “break” the bill and raise “negligible revenue.”

“We greatly appreciate his engagement, but there have already been significant concessions made in framing this as an election,” he added.

The bill has seen pushback from the banking lobby, with the American Bankers Association earlier this month saying it would give “a significant advantage over nearly every other way Americans save, invest and earn returns today.”

“When a company pays a dividend, shareholders receive the value of the dividend and pay tax that year,” the ABA said. “The Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act, would work very differently — and show clear favoritism for cryptocurrencies over other asset classes.”

The crypto lobby argued that renegotiating any agreed-upon compromise in the bill “would risk reviving the very problems the bill resolves and stalling a bipartisan result that is finally within reach.”

The bill adds to another crypto tax-focused bill before Congress, the so-called PARITY Act, which was introduced in May and directs the Internal Revenue Service to study what exemptions it can give for small crypto transactions.

The crypto industry has called on Congress to exempt small crypto transactions from tax. Kraken said in April that it sent 56 million tax forms to the Internal Revenue Service, where nearly a third were for transactions worth less than $1, while over 75% were for transactions less than $50.

Former Ethereum Foundation contributors and ETH treasury firms Bitmine and Sharplink have launched a new research and development nonprofit, Ethlabs, with the stated goal of preparing Ethereum for what they describe as the next phase of institutional adoption.

Sharplink said on Monday that Ethlabs is intended to “ready Ethereum for the next phase of institutional adoption,” positioning the organization as a long-term home for core research and development work. The initiative is backed by Sharplink and Bitmine, alongside Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin and other Ethereum contributors.

Key takeaways

• Ethlabs is a new nonprofit focused on Ethereum core research and development aimed at supporting large-scale institutional use.
• Sharplink frames the move around growing on-chain settlement demand from stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and other financial activity.
• Ethlabs is co-founded by five former senior Ethereum Foundation researchers, signaling an attempt to preserve continuity in technical stewardship.
• The launch arrives amid renewed criticism around Ethereum Foundation funding capacity and leadership departures.
• Joe Lubin links the project to expanding “steward nodes” and increasing network utilization, tying research goals to practical adoption.

Why Ethlabs says it exists

In its announcement, Sharplink argued that several categories of financial activity are converging on Ethereum as a settlement layer. The company specifically pointed to stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, funds, and “autonomous AI commerce” moving on-chain, describing Ethereum as “neutral” and “credibly permissionless” for that role.

On that basis, Sharplink said Ethlabs exists to ensure the network can absorb this demand “at scale.” The organization’s pitch is less about changing Ethereum’s direction in a political sense and more about building technical capacity—through stable funding—for research and development that supports the network’s next growth phase.

Backers and founding team

Ethlabs was co-founded by five former senior Ethereum Foundation researchers: Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf, and Julian Ma. The involvement of former EF researchers is notable because many ecosystem upgrades over Ethereum’s lifecycle have relied on specialized technical work that is difficult to replicate quickly.

Sharplink also said Ethlabs brings together technologists who have guided the network through “its most consequential upgrades over the past decade,” adding that the initiative provides “stable, long-term funding” in what it calls an institutional context.

Joe Lubin—Ethereum co-founder—told supporters that Ethereum “is entering its next stage of evolution.” He also said there should be “a number of steward nodes of Ethereum” aimed at growing utilization of the blockchain.

Lubin further stated that Ethlabs, by giving researchers and developers an “independent home,” will be instrumental in preparing for a “next major wave of adoption.” The language underscores an expectation that technical work and operational participation (such as steward nodes) should move in tandem.

Launch timing: funding concerns and Foundation leadership departures

Ethlabs’ debut lands shortly after warnings about Ethereum Foundation funding constraints resurfaced. In May, Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation’s resources were limited, noting that it held only about 0.16% of the total supply of Ether (ETH).

More recently, former Ethereum Foundation contributor Trenton Van Epps warned that Ethereum could be heading toward a “slow-burning funding crisis.” The concern centered on the risk that ongoing asset selling by the Foundation could undermine long-term support for core development.

The launch also coincides with an ongoing wave of leadership exits from the Ethereum Foundation, including the reported departure of co-executive director Hsiao-Wei Wang, which was described as leaving last week in earlier coverage.

Institutional readiness vs. what remains uncertain

Ethlabs’ stated mission—ensuring Ethereum is ready to scale for major on-chain financial and settlement activity—raises a practical question for market participants: how will this new funding and organizational structure translate into concrete technical deliverables?

Sharplink’s message is clear about the direction—capacity for institutional-grade adoption—but the announcement provides limited detail on specific engineering timelines or near-term protocol milestones. For investors and developers, the next signals to watch are the organization’s published research agenda and how it coordinates with existing Ethereum ecosystem contributors, particularly in areas such as scalability, security, and the infrastructure needed for higher-throughput settlement use cases.

It is also worth noting that Ethlabs is being positioned as a stable “institutional home” for core technology work, while critics have argued that the Foundation’s financial situation may be limiting its ability to sustain that same role. However, whether Ethlabs’ model becomes a substitute for the EF or a complementary structure will likely depend on its governance, funding durability, and its ability to attract ongoing developer participation.

Ether market backdrop

The policy and funding narrative is playing out against a softer market environment for Ether. Ether is trading about 65% below its reported peak around $1,700, with those levels last seen in October 2023 and April 2025, according to the figures referenced in the announcement context.

That backdrop can matter because periods of weaker sentiment often reduce risk appetite and slow down spending across the ecosystem—making stable funding for core development more salient. Even so, the immediate relevance for users will hinge on whether research efforts lead to improvements that directly affect performance and reliability.

For now, the key question is whether Ethlabs can convert its “long-term, independent home” framing into measurable progress on Ethereum readiness for institutional settlement demand—and how that effort interacts with the Ethereum Foundation’s evolving role amid continued leadership and funding debates.

Uniswap price has held above the $3 level after a sharp three-day rally driven by Standard Chartered’s bullish coverage and a wave of short liquidations across derivatives markets.

According to data from crypto.news, Uniswap (UNI) price traded around $3.03 on June 22, roughly 20% above its June 15 levels despite retreating from a local high near $4 reached earlier in the week.

Market sentiment improved after Standard Chartered initiated coverage of the decentralized exchange token on June 15 and projected a long-term price target of $100 by 2030, drawing renewed attention to DeFi assets after months of underperformance.

The banking giant’s forecast arrived as UNI was trading near multi-month lows below $2.50. Fresh spot demand quickly pushed the token through several overhead resistance levels and triggered a rapid repricing across futures markets.

According to CoinGlass data, UNI futures volume surged while open interest climbed sharply during the advance, highlighting aggressive positioning from traders attempting to capture the breakout.

As crypto.news previously reported, Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick argued that Uniswap remains one of the strongest beneficiaries of growing decentralized exchange activity and could capture a larger share of on-chain trading volumes over the coming years.

“We initiate coverage of Uniswap with a UNI-USD price forecast of USD 100 by end-2030, a 40x increase from today’s USD 2.50 level.”

Uniswap price faces major liquidation cluster above $3.30

CoinGlass liquidation data shows several large leverage concentrations sitting above the current market price. The most significant cluster remains between $3.30 and $3.45, while another dense pocket of short liquidations is visible near $3.75-$3.85.

A move into those zones could force additional short covering and create another burst of volatility similar to the squeeze witnessed between June 15 and June 17.

Daily chart structure also improved after UNI reclaimed the Murrey Math support zone around $2.93. The token now trades just below the key pivot level at $3.125. A successful break above that area would expose resistance levels at $3.32, $3.51, and $3.71.

Beyond those levels, the next major overhead barrier sits near $3.90, which coincides with the strongest liquidation concentration visible on the one-week heatmap.

Momentum indicators remain constructive despite the pullback. The Aroon Up indicator remains elevated above 60%, suggesting buyers continue to control the dominant trend even after several days of consolidation around the $3 mark.

Uniswap price risks deeper pullback if $2.93 support fails

Profit-taking emerged shortly after the rally as traders locked in gains from the rapid advance. At the same time, risk appetite across digital assets weakened following the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision under Chair Kevin Warsh, which reinforced expectations that interest rates could remain restrictive for longer than previously anticipated.

Technical downside risks remain concentrated around the $2.93 support zone. Losing that level would place the $2.73 pivot and the $2.54 support area back into focus. The liquidation heatmap also shows relatively thin leverage positioning beneath current prices, reducing the likelihood of a large liquidation-driven rebound if support fails.

For now, UNI continues to trade above the level that capped prices throughout most of June. As long as buyers defend the newly reclaimed $2.93-$3.00 range, traders are likely to keep watching the dense liquidation pockets above $3.30 for the next directional move.

Bithumb, South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange, will add Canton (CC) to its Korean won market on June 23. 

The exchange said deposits and withdrawals would open within two hours of the notice, while trading would start at 14:00 local time.

The exchange will support Canton through Canton Mainnet only. Bithumb set the reference price at 234 won and said it would apply its usual trading limits for new listings. It said, “Canton (CC) will be added to the KRW market,” while warning users that crypto assets carry high risk.

Under the listing rules, buy orders will face a five-minute pause after trading starts. Sell orders will also face a five-minute price band linked to the reference price. For about two hours after launch, Bithumb will allow limit orders only.

Canton attracts Wall Street and Korean attention

Canton (CC) is the native token of Canton Network, a blockchain built by Digital Asset for privacy-focused tokenization, trading and settlement. The project targets institutions that need blockchain settlement while keeping selected data private.

The network has drawn support from firms tied to traditional finance, including Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, Tradeweb, DTCC and BNP Paribas. As previously reported by crypto.news, Digital Asset raised $355 million in a round led by Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto fund, with other backers including Citadel Securities, Apollo, BNP Paribas, CME Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, HSBC, Optiver and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Canton has also gained attention in South Korea. crypto.news earlier reported that Shinhan Asset Management and Shinhan Investment & Securities signed separate agreements with the Canton Foundation to study Korean tokenized assets, domestic rules and global market access. Shinhan’s move placed Canton closer to South Korea’s growing tokenized finance market before Bithumb’s listing.

The network also appeared in recent stablecoin coverage. As crypto.news reported, Visa tested stablecoin settlement on Canton using Brale’s SBC token. The test looked at whether institutions could settle on-chain while keeping sensitive payment and settlement data away from public view.

Protocol update lowers onboarding friction

The listing follows a fresh Canton Network protocol update. Canton Network said, “CIP-0119 approved,” adding that transfer preapprovals now include a free 90-day base duration.

The change addresses a practical onboarding issue for new users. Canton Network said the update removes the “bootstrapping problem for new participants who needed CC to receive CC.” It also said users would face standard traffic costs only, with no extra CC fees required for onboarding.

This update arrives as exchanges and institutions study how to support Canton Coin transfers. Digital Asset’s own exchange integration guide says platforms can start with Canton Coin deposits and withdrawals, then add broader support for Canton Network tokens later.

Canton price and indicators stay soft

Canton traded at $0.153908 on June 23, based on crypto.news market data. CC rose 1.95% over 24 hours but slipped 0.31% in the past hour. The token stayed down 6.56% over seven days and 5.36% across the past month.

The same data showed 24-hour volume at $10.65 million, with price action between $0.149594 and $0.154728. Canton ranked 19th by market value, with a market cap near $5.98 billion. Its all-time high remains $0.194152, set on Feb. 3, while its all-time low stands at $0.059024 from Dec. 6, 2025.

Technical indicators show weak momentum despite the Bithumb listing news. The MACD histogram stood near -0.00128, with the MACD line below the signal line. RSI stood at 45.99, below its moving average of 51.26, which shows buyers have not regained control.

The indicators do not show heavy selling pressure. RSI remains above oversold levels, and MACD sits close to the zero line. For now, the setup points to consolidation unless RSI moves back above 50 and MACD turns positive again. Stronger spot demand would be needed to confirm a clearer shift.

Native USDC, EURC, and CCTP Are Coming to Cronos. Expanding Stablecoin Infrastructure for a Growing Ecosystem. The blockchain industry continues to move toward a future where digital assets, traditional finance, and emerging technologies seamlessly interact. In a major step toward that vision, Circle has announced that native USDC, EURC, and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) support will soon be available on the Cronos network.

This integration brings trusted stablecoin infrastructure to one of the industry’s fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems and opens new opportunities for payments, decentralized finance, AI-powered applications, and institutional adoption.

What Is Cronos?

Cronos is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain developed by Crypto.com. The network supports a broad range of blockchain use cases, including:

• Digital payments
• DeFi trading and lending
• AI-native applications
• Gaming and Web3 experiences
• Tokenized real-world assets
• Cross-border financial services

With access to Crypto.com’s extensive user base of more than 150 million registered users, Cronos has established itself as a significant blockchain ecosystem capable of supporting both retail and institutional participants.

Why Native USDC and EURC Matter

Stablecoins play a critical role in blockchain ecosystems by providing price stability, liquidity, and efficient settlement mechanisms.

The arrival of native USDC and EURC on Cronos introduces regulated, fully reserved digital currencies directly issued by Circle.

Key Benefits

1. Trusted Fiat-Backed Stability

Both USDC and EURC are designed to maintain a 1:1 value relationship with their respective fiat currencies:

• USDC is redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars
• EURC is redeemable 1:1 for euros

This stability makes them attractive for trading, payments, settlement, and treasury management.

2. Enhanced DeFi Liquidity

Native stablecoins can serve as foundational liquidity assets across the Cronos ecosystem.

Benefits include:

• Lower trading slippage
• More efficient capital deployment
• Improved lending and borrowing markets
• Stronger liquidity pools
• Better trading experiences for users

As liquidity deepens, developers can build more sophisticated financial products on Cronos.

3. Support for AI-Powered Transactions

As autonomous AI agents become increasingly active on blockchain networks, stable and programmable digital currencies become essential.

USDC and EURC can help facilitate:

• Agent-to-agent payments
• Automated settlements
• Machine-driven financial workflows
• AI-powered marketplaces
• Cross-platform value exchange

This creates a strong foundation for the next generation of AI-native blockchain applications.

Introducing CCTP: Seamless Cross-Chain USDC Transfers

One of the most significant aspects of the announcement is support for Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP).

CCTP enables native USDC to move securely between supported blockchain networks without relying on traditional wrapped assets.

What CCTP Enables

Eligible institutions, traders, and development teams will be able to:

• Transfer native USDC across supported blockchains
• Access institutional-grade payment infrastructure
• Utilize the fiat on/off ramps
• Enable full deposit and withdrawal functionality
• Integrate native USDC through APIs
• Improve capital efficiency across multiple ecosystems

For developers building multi-chain applications, CCTP significantly simplifies the movement of liquidity and settlement assets.

Powering the Future of the Cronos App

Native USDC is expected to play an important role within the Cronos App, a mobile-first trading platform designed to unify multiple financial markets.

Users will eventually be able to:

• Deposit dollars
• Trade cryptocurrencies
• Access tokenized stocks
• Participate in prediction markets
• Manage multiple asset classes from a single account

By serving as the primary dollar settlement layer, USDC can help streamline user experiences while reducing friction between traditional and digital financial systems.

Expanding Opportunities for Institutions

Institutional adoption remains one of the most important growth drivers in the blockchain industry.

The addition of native USDC, EURC, and CCTP provides businesses with access to:

• Institutional-grade trading infrastructure
• Compliant onchain settlement
• Programmable payments
• Global liquidity access
• Efficient treasury management
• Cross-border transaction capabilities

For organizations seeking regulated digital asset infrastructure, these capabilities create a more enterprise-ready environment on Cronos.

EURC and the Growing European Opportunity

While USDC has become one of the world’s most widely adopted stablecoins, EURC introduces a unique opportunity for euro-denominated blockchain activity.

EURC can support:

• European payment systems
• Business settlements
• Treasury operations
• Cross-border commerce
• DeFi markets denominated in euros

Its MiCA-aligned framework and euro redeemability make it particularly attractive for businesses and users operating within the European Union.

Native USDC vs. Bridged USDC on Cronos

Currently, Cronos supports Bridged USDC (USDC.e), which enables users to access USDC liquidity via bridging.

With the upcoming launch of native USDC, the Cronos ecosystem plans to migrate liquidity toward the native asset gradually.

Importantly, existing USDC.e holders will not experience immediate disruption. Bridged USDC will continue operating normally and remain clearly identified throughout the ecosystem.

A Major Step Forward for Cronos

The upcoming integration of native USDC, EURC, and CCTP represents more than just a stablecoin launch. It strengthens Cronos’ foundation as a blockchain capable of supporting consumer applications, institutional finance, AI-powered systems, and global payments.

By combining trusted stablecoin infrastructure, regulated fiat-backed assets, and seamless cross-chain functionality, Cronos is positioning itself as a hub for the next generation of digital finance.

As blockchain adoption continues to accelerate, the arrival of native USDC, EURC, and CCTP could play a pivotal role in expanding liquidity, improving interoperability, and unlocking new opportunities for developers, businesses, and users across the Cronos ecosystem.
