Trevor Wells, growth marketing manager at cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, highlighted on Thursday various rewards the firm&#8217;s Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) credit card offers, which co-founder Cameron Winklevoss described as &#8220;insane.&#8221;
What Happened: Wells shared his calculations on X, breaking down the potential returns from a Bitcoin credit card offer. 
He stated that if one spends $3,000 within the first 90 days, they&#8217;ll get $200 in BTC back. If they sign up using a referral link (like from a friend), they get an extra $50, and they also earn 1% back on a minimum purchase of $30.
Adding it all up, it amounted to $280 back when a user spends $3,000, which is about 9.3% back in Bitcoin.
The numbers cheered Winklevoss, who stated, &#8220;insane in the membrane.&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/chev0r/status/1938384317341974901?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1938384762973847682%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a70ac8a813a51537b78fd7cbb9edce2377a42b%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.benzinga.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D964242action%3Dedit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>

Bitcoin, Ethereum Rangebound, Dogecoin Dips Amid Potential July Tariff Deadline Extension: Analyst Predicts BTC's 'Next Big Move' Once It Breaks Out Of This Range

Metaplanet (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>), the Tokyo-listed investment firm, announced the purchase of an additional 1,234 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on Wednesday, bringing its total <a href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=962984&amp;action=edit">Bitcoin holdings to 12,345 BTC</a>.
Based on current prices, the company's total Bitcoin treasury now exceeds $780 million.
The latest purchase reaffirms Metaplanet&#8217;s aggressive strategy of using stock issuances and bond offerings to continuously expand its Bitcoin reserves. 
The firm views Bitcoin as a core balance sheet asset and has been actively scaling its exposure through frequent acquisitions.
Why It Matters: The move comes as institutional interest in Bitcoin is gaining substantial momentum.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recently seen a surge in inflows, with BlackRock&#8216;s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) fund alone attracting $340.3 million in a single day on June 25, according to <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/359815/bitcoin-etfs-inflow-streak?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss">data</a> compiled by The Block.
Fidelity's (CBOEF: BTC) fund followed with $115.2 million, while other players like Ark Invest's (CBOEF: ARKB), Bitwise's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>), and VanEck's (CBOE: HODL) recorded daily inflows of $70.2 million, $12.9 million, and $9.1 million, respectively.
Many other Bitcoin ETFs reported no flows on the day.
BlackRock's IBIT continues to dominate the sector, accounting for over $3.3 billion, around 86%, of the total net inflows during a recent twelve-day inflow streak.

The pace of investment has accelerated notably over the past few days, with more than $500 million flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs on both June 25 and June 26, up from a $276 million daily average earlier in the month.
Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, noted on social media: "Over a half billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Twelve straight days of inflows. Nearly $4 billion new money. Category now approaching $50 billion inflows since Jan 2024 launch. Absolutely ridiculous."
Since their U.S. market debut in January 2024, spot Bitcoin ETFs have collectively drawn $48.4 billion in net inflows and now oversee nearly $125 billion in assets under management, supported by a concurrent rise in Bitcoin's price.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs have also gained traction, securing $60.4 million in net inflows on Wednesday, led by BlackRock's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHA#NASDAQ">ETHA</a>) fund with $55.2 million.
U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have now accumulated total net inflows of $4.2 billion since launching in July 2024, with three consecutive days of positive flows.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Skew <a href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1937925017712660664">points</a> out that Bitcoin is consolidating just below key higher timeframe supply and resistance levels. He notes that ask orders are creeping closer to the current price, possibly indicating front running of these higher timeframe zones. 
The order book is skewed toward sell-side liquidity, which influences traders' risk appetite. Skew believes a broad bullish turn is unlikely until Bitcoin reclaims $110,000 or more, but emphasizes watching passive flows subtly guiding price action for now.
Rekt Capital highlights that historically, after Bitcoin dominance successfully retests the 64% support level, it often rallies toward 71% within one to two months. This pattern suggests a near-term rotation back into Bitcoin from altcoins could be underway if the trend holds.

Byzantine General <a href="https://x.com/ByzGeneral/status/1937937494625980658">adds</a> that Bitcoin is showing strong bullish momentum, having broken both a diagonal trendline and the volume point of control, despite funding rates remaining generally negative. Bitcoin's price action is also currently outperforming about 90% of altcoins.
Meanwhile, trader Momin <a href="https://x.com/mominsaqib/status/1937923861263355947">expects</a> Bitcoin to briefly rise toward the $109,000 level, triggering short sellers' stop losses before dropping back to retest support and form a higher low. In contrast, major altcoins appear weak and may drop sharply once Bitcoin stabilizes. The ideal market scenario would see all major coins forming higher lows, confirming a broader trend reversal.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin Hold Gains While Ethereum Drops

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares are inching higher in Wednesday's pre-market trading, fueled by progress on its planned spot exchange-traded fund tracking the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
What happened: NYSE Arca, a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange, submitted a proposed rule change to the SEC to list and trade shares of the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF.
The 19b-4 filing stated that the trust is a passive investment vehicle that seeks to reflect the price performance of the two largest cryptocurrencies by market value.&nbsp;
The trust's sponsor is Yorkville America Digital, LLC, with Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC, a Crypto.com affiliate, serving as the custodian.
The 19b-4 filing, a mandatory second step to list any ETF on Wall Street, follows the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45953644/truth-social-etf-filing-bitcoin-ethereum">S-1 registration statement</a> filed by Trump Media last week.&nbsp;
The ETF will hold the assets in a 3:1 ratio, meaning that 75% of its assets will be invested in Bitcoin and 25% in Ether.

The company has found a liking for Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency. It announced a private offering worth $2.3 billion<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45949846/trump-medias-bitcoin-investment-plan-gets-sec-nod-unlocking-2-3-billion-in-capital"> to create a Bitcoin reserve</a>, replicating an approach <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/46089173/michael-saylor-offers-btc-credit-model-as-bill-pulte-pushes-crypto-for-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-could-bitcoin-soon-count-toward-mortgage-qualification#:~:text=His%20post%20has%20ignited%20hope,loan%20duration%2C%20and%20collateral%20coverage.">popularized</a> by Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>). The Bitcoin purchased would be held on its balance sheet alongside cash and cash equivalents.
The investment plan received a green light from the SEC last week.
Price Action:&nbsp; Shares of Trump Media were up 1.10% in pre-market trading after closing 1.79% higher at $18.21 during Friday's trading session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Media Stock Edges Higher Pre-Market After NYSE Files To List Truth Social Bitcoin And Ethereum ETF Shares

Entrepreneur and investor Anthony Pompliano stated Tuesday that his newly launched Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury company designed a unique structure that allows it to buy the leading cryptocurrency immediately after raising funds.
What happened: Pompliano took to X, stating that several companies have raised large sums but cannot buy Bitcoin immediately because their funding is &#8220;contingent on closing" of the deals and mergers.
"For my deal, we were able to design a structure that allowed ProCap BTC, LLC (private company), to accept the funding immediately and start buying bitcoin," he added.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCCM#NASDAQ">CCCM</a>) closes. This approach gives investors early exposure to Bitcoin price movements.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency trader bwatts identified a bull flag setup for Bitcoin, potentially leading to upward price continuation.
"Remains bullish as long as weekly candles are closing over $97,938. Needs a daily close over $108,403 for upside continuation," the trader projected.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Inch Higher As Investors Hope 'Trump-Brokered' Iran-Israel Ceasefire Holds:  Analyst Says BTC Needs A Daily Close Over $108,403 For Upside To Continue

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>). These trades highlight Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning in the market amidst evolving industry dynamics.
The Circle Internet Trade
Ark Invest executed a notable sell-off of Circle Internet shares across multiple ETFs, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). The sale amounted to a total of 415,844 shares. Circle shares surged more than 9% on Monday, closing at $263.45. At that price, the value of Ark's trade totaled $109.55 million.
This move comes as Circle&#8217;s stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46056731/circle-internet-group-stock-climbs-to-new-highs-whats-going-on">reached new heights</a> following its announcement of a partnership with Fiserv to develop stablecoin-enabled solutions for financial institutions. The collaboration aims to enhance the adoption of stablecoins within the Fiserv ecosystem.
The Robinhood Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKK fund acquired 319,640 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. Robinhood stock closed at $76.35 on Monday, valuing the transaction at $24.4 million.
This purchase follows a recent trend where a Robinhood director <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46038740/robinhood-director-sells-millions-but-hood-stock-eyes-gains">sold millions</a> in shares, yet the stock continues to show potential for gains. As of June 2025, director Baiju Bhatt sold up to $31 million worth of stock, according to an earlier report. It should be noted, however, that another director, Christopher Payne, purchased nearly $2 million worth of stock in the same period.
The AMD Trade
Ark Invest made a sizable move on AMD, with its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW funds collectively picking up 130,256 shares. AMD closed at $129.58 on Monday, putting the total value of the trades at $16.9 million.
This decision aligns with recent positive analyst forecasts, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/46051985/amd-to-rally-more-than-36-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-monday">predict a potential rally</a> of over 36% for AMD. The stock&#8217;s recent surge is attributed to rumors of a significant &#8220;GPU win&#8221; with Amazon Web Services and a favorable analyst rating update from Piper Sandler.
The TSMC Trade
Ark&#8217;s ARKK and ARKW funds acquired a total of 65,102 shares of TSMC. This move follows a series of analyst upgrades for TSM, driven by its strategic positioning in the semiconductor industry. With TSMC closing at $210.32 on Monday, the trades were worth approximately $13.7 million.
Analysts have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46030897/analysts-keep-boosting-taiwan-semiconductor-stock-heres-why">boosting their ratings</a>, recognizing TSM&#8217;s critical role in the global tech supply chain, as reported by Benzinga.
Other Key Trades:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>ARKW and ARKF added 4,198 shares of Coinbase Global Inc (COIN). The transaction in the platforms that allows for trading in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) was valued at $1.3 million.</li>

What Happened: Bitcoin topped $106,000 in the evening before easing to around $105,000, marking a sharp recovery from the dip below $100,000 during the weekend.
Ethereum recorded a steeper rise, sailing above $2,400 following the drop to $2,100.
The rally came after Trump announced on Truth Social that Israel and Iran have agreed to a &#8220;complete and total ceasefire.&#8221; The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46065102/trump-says-there-is-a-ceasefire-between-isreal-and-iran">cessation of hostilities</a> would unfold in a phased manner, he added.
The spike hit bearish traders as over $365 million in short positions were wiped out from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours. A further $280 million risked liquidation if Bitcoin reclaimed $110,000.
Bitcoin&#8217;s open interest rose 2.52%, while the funds locked in Ethereum's derivatives contracts surged nearly 8% in the last 24 hours.
The market sentiment flipped back to "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index. Indicating a resurgence in buying pressure.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe said Bitcoin's dip below $100,000 is likely "the bottom of this correction."
"Massive move upwards, through which Bitcoin breaks through crucial resistance zones. I think we&#8217;ll continue to make higher lows &amp; attack a new all-time high for Bitcoin in July," Van de Poppe projected.

EliteOptionsTrader, a well-known options trader on X, said the latest price action could be the "spark" that ignites BTC's next leg higher.
"A clean hold above $109,000 opens the door for a swift push toward $130,000," the analyst stated. "A move like that would be a broader signal of risk-on appetite returning to markets."

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Blockchainedbb <a href="https://x.com/blockchainedbb/status/1937219375162867839">remains</a> on the sidelines, awaiting a decisive daily close before taking action. According to him, a close below $101,000 could trigger a liquidity sweep, potentially followed by a mid-wick sweep. He warns traders against entering prematurely to avoid being caught in choppy price action and suffering emotional fatigue from holding losing positions.
His strategy: wait for clear confirmations on the 4-hour or daily timeframes. Some market ranges, he emphasizes, are better left untouched.
Another trader Skew <a href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1937213385625731402">marks</a> $103,000 as the battleground level for Bitcoin, describing it as former support turned supply. A close above or below this level will help define the short-term trend direction, making today's close critical.
Doctor Profit highlights Bitcoin&#8217;s nearing reclaim of the key &#8220;golden line&#8221; level. A daily close above this threshold would invalidate the current bearish thesis. He has moved his stop loss to the entry at $103,300, minimizing risk while staying in the short position for now. If the price hits that level, he'll exit the trade.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Rebound As Week Opens - $103,000 Emerges As Key Battleground

Crypto trader and analyst Cheds has issued a warning to traders calling for a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) market top, arguing that the flagship cryptocurrency is still in a stage one uptrend.
Speaking on a YouTube livestream, Cheds <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-w1IORl6H4">explained </a>the current price action suggests Bitcoin is consolidating within a healthy bullish trend and predictions of a top are premature.
"There&#8217;s no way to call top yet," Cheds said. "Any kind of top now is not based on available information."
Cheds pointed to key technical indicators to support his position, particularly Bitcoin's price consistently trading above the rising eight-period exponential moving average (EMA) and the simple moving average (SMA) 200, both of which are widely used to gauge long-term market direction.
He cautioned traders against prematurely identifying a head and shoulders pattern, noting that valid breakdown levels have yet to be tested. 
"Any kind of bear thesis before you&#8217;ve even had even a minor local breakdown, which would be 100K, is simply no way to call top," he said.

Cheds emphasized that Bitcoin is in a necessary consolidation phase and pullbacks should not be mistaken for trend reversals.
"You need consolidation to move higher," he added.
The trader also highlighted the risks of misinterpreting moving average crossovers during sideways markets, where their predictive power diminishes. 
"Moving average crosses have limited value in a sideways environment," he noted.
While Bitcoin remained bullish in his view, Cheds expressed caution toward Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which he described as "super weak," citing technical warning signs of a potential tower top pattern and growing bearish pressure.
On altcoins, Cheds pointed to TRX (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) and BNB (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>) as relative strength leaders but warned that many altcoins are under pressure and traders should remain selective.
Cheds also advised traders to prioritize risk management, particularly when evaluating setups. "You want to buy a dip in an uptrend, not a bad chart hoping it turns," he said.

Trader Notes: Crypto Seth <a href="https://x.com/seth_fin/status/1937062944484831422">says</a> Bitcoin's high-time-frame strategy remains to hold spot positions, but short-term action hinges on geopolitical developments. If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, oil price surges could spark a broader economic shock, potentially dragging crypto lower alongside global markets.
Crypto trader Jelle notes Bitcoin lost its 50-day moving average (MA) and closed back within a prior range, indicating a failed breakout. Reclaiming $105,000 quickly is crucial to avoid a sideways summer of stagnation and uncertainty. The next few days should reveal the market's direction.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Weaken On Iran-Israel Tensions – Reclaim $105,000 Or Brace For Sideways Summer

Digital asset investment products defied global turbulence last week, raking in $1.24 billion in fresh inflows—marking a tenth straight week of gains—even as crypto prices dipped and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46044009/us-iran-tensions-escalate-as-iran-threatens-hormuz-closure-potentially-rattling-global-oil-markets">geopolitical tensions surged</a>.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell below $100,000 over the weekend, while the second-largest crypto by market cap, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), fell below $2,150 after the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043708/us-airstrike-on-iran-draws-varied-reactions-from-business-leaders-bill-ackman-says-thank-you-to-our">struck Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities</a>. Iran is expected to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, the world&#8217;s most sensitive oil shipping chokepoint, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/46046982/oil-prices-could-surge-by-10-as-us-drops-bunker-buster-bombs-on-iran-but-may-not-last-says-analyst-freight-disruptions-will-be-the-story-to-watch">spiking oil prices</a>.
The continued capital inflow into crypto markets comes as the war between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46041118/iran-halts-nuclear-talks-with-us-no-negotiations-until-israeli-aggression-stops-says-foreign-minister">Iran and Israel intensifies</a>.

The U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose 0.92% to $75.86 a barrel, marking a five-month high.
Digital asset investment products recorded their 10th consecutive week of inflows, totaling $1.24 billion last week and pushing year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a new high of $15.1 billion, CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill <a href="https://blog.coinshares.com/volume-239-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-95db5dc90500">wrote</a>.
Bitcoin continued to dominate investor interest, attracting $1.1 billion in inflows despite recent price corrections. 
Ethereum followed with $124 million, extending its nine-week inflow streak to a cumulative $2.2 billion, the longest since mid-2021. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The U.S. led with $1.25 billion in new investments.</li>
<li>Canada, $20.9 million</li>
<li>Germany, $10.9 million in inflows, respectively. </li>
<li>Hong Kong and Switzerland experienced outflows of $32.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively.</li>

Butterfill noted, &#8220;The surge in activity earlier in the week tapered off in the latter half, likely due to the US Juneteenth holiday and emerging reports of US involvement in the Iran conflict.&#8221;
Short-Bitcoin products saw minor outflows of $1.4 million, suggesting investors remain optimistic about the market's direction.
Notably, the recent surge in investment interest was accompanied by significant moves from corporate players. 
Japan's Metaplanet announced it had purchased an additional 1,111 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 11,111 BTC. 
The company's CEO, Simon Gerovich, confirmed that Metaplanet acquired the latest batch at $106,408 per Bitcoin. 
The firm has invested approximately $1.07 billion across all its purchases, securing its holdings at an average price of $95,869 per Bitcoin.
At current market rates, Metaplanet's Bitcoin treasury is valued at around $1.12 billion. 
The company's recent acquisition came just a week after it surpassed its initial 2025 goal of holding 10,000 BTC. 
This milestone elevated Metaplanet to the ninth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, overtaking Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
Metaplanet has since updated its targets, aiming to accumulate 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027, signaling its aggressive long-term crypto strategy.
In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, smaller inflows were recorded for Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) ($2.78 million) and XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) ($2.69 million) last week.

Investors Poured Billions Into Bitcoin And Ethereum Even As Iran-Israel Tensions Escalated

In the wake of escalating global tensions and US-Iran conflict, the cryptocurrency market has taken a significant hit. 
What Happened: Cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has dipped below the $100,000 mark, while XRP and Dogecoin have plunged to their lowest in two months.
On Sunday morning, Bitcoin&#8217;s value fell below the $100,000 mark, while XRP and Dogecoin prices hit a two-month low.
This drop in cryptocurrency prices comes in the aftermath of the U.S.&#8217;s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Late on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces had bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in an operation named &#8216;Midnight Hammer&#8217;.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin&#8217;s price was at $99,843, marking its lowest since early May. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), another major cryptocurrency, also took a significant hit, falling more than 10% to $2,171.

Other major altcoins like XRP, Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) also experienced a fall, with their prices hitting a two-month low.
As per CoinGlass, liquidations across the crypto market have accelerated, with $949 million worth of positions liquidated in the last 24 hours. 
Ethereum led the way with about $369 million worth, followed by Bitcoin at $242 million.
The recent geopolitical unrest has triggered a wave of uncertainty in the global financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. 
Amid the chaos, users of prediction market Myriad have become increasingly bearish on Bitcoin&#8217;s price prospects, giving a nearly 65% chance that Bitcoin will plunge below $95,000 next.
The current scenario underscores the volatility of cryptocurrencies and their susceptibility to global events. It remains to be seen how the crypto market will respond in the coming days as the geopolitical situation evolves.

Global Tensions Trigger Cryptocurrency Crash: Bitcoin, XRP, And Dogecoin At 2-Month Lows

The tech leaderboard of 2030 could look radically different, not just because of who rises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">but also because of who fades</a>.
A <a href="https://x.com/KoyfinCharts/status/1936092201920217573" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">post</a> on X by Koyfin reveals that Coatue&#8217;s recent projections for the next wave of trillion-dollar companies suggest a shift in how value is being created across industries.
Notably absent from the top 40 are Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
The exclusion isn&#8217;t arbitrary.

Both companies face structural challenges that could curb future growth. Alphabet, for instance, is increasingly under pressure as generative AI threatens its core search and ad businesses — the very engines that built its empire.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/alphabet-expects-slight-headwind-to-ads-business-in-2025-execs-say.html#:~:text=Alphabet%20will%20likely%20be%20impacted,advertising%20pullback%20from%20budget%20constraints." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Alphabet may face headwinds due to the rising costs of materials essential for building and maintaining the technical infrastructure—like data centers—needed to support its AI ambitions. Additionally, it could feel indirect pressure from a slowdown in advertising spend, as companies tighten budgets, the report adds.
Competitors like OpenAI are already redefining how users interact with information.
Apple, while still wildly profitable, hasn&#8217;t demonstrated category-defining innovation post-iPhone.
Hardware saturation and China-related supply chain risks continue to weigh on investor confidence.

Meanwhile, rising stars like NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), OpenAI, and SpaceX are being valued not just for current profits but for owning the infrastructure of the future — AI, energy, automation, and space.
Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) placement among the top three underscores another trend: institutional acceptance of crypto as a legitimate store of value.
The market isn&#8217;t just rewarding performance anymore — it&#8217;s betting on disruption, scalability, and vision.

Trader Notes: CrediBULL Crypto <a href="https://x.com/CredibleCrypto/status/1936116976390152258">believes</a> Bitcoin may have bottomed at range lows, potentially forming a triple tap base. He's opened a long position, his first in weeks, expecting a bounce from the current green support zone. If this level breaks, the downside target is $94,000–$98,000, though he views both outcomes as technically healthy corrections.
Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1936124289360523713">highlights</a> Bitcoin's continued defence of the $104,400 level, now holding for six straight weeks. All eyes are on the weekly close; a seventh consecutive hold would confirm this zone as a solid accumulation base and strengthen the case for near-term upside.
Michael van de Poppe notes that Bitcoin faced rejection at a key resistance, triggering a broader market correction. A liquidity sweep may be underway, creating the conditions for potential buy-the-dip setups. He advises patience and careful monitoring of support levels.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Jelle <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1935983040557093061">believes</a> Bitcoin's bounce from strong support is a positive sign. A reclaim of $107,000 could flip short-term charts bullish, paving the way for another push to all-time highs.
In another X post, he also noted that the MVRV Z-Score, a reliable market top indicator, remains far from flashing red, suggesting BTC has "plenty of room to grow."

Analyst Notes: On-chain analytics firm Santiment highlighted that the number of Bitcoin wallets holding more than 10 BTC rose 0.15% in the last 10 days, while those with 0.001 to 10 BTC declined 0.15% in as many days.
