‘Decentralized blockchain is inevitable future’- Hunter Biden signals support for Bitcoin

The son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, has voiced support for blockchain and Bitcoin. In a recent post on X, Hunter Biden was asked his opinion on the current fiat financial system.  In response, he signaled support for Bitcoin and blockchains as an “inevitable future.” But he warned that incumbent banks will fight the disruption to death.  Source: X  His outlook was spot on for the ‘incumbents’ fierce opposition. So far, JPMorgan has vowed to rally banks to oppose the CLARITY Acts stablecoin yield deal.  But what‘s more surprising is Hunter Biden’s pro-crypto stance. This contrasted Joe Bidens administration and the general Democratic Party position.  Biden-era anti-crypto position  For the unfamiliar, the Biden-era SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) intensified enforcement actions against the sector.  During this period, nearly every top player across various vertical segments (from centralized exchanges to DeFi platforms) was investigated or charged. The platforms include Binance, Coinbase, Uniswap, MetaMask, Ripple, Aave, and more.  Most were investigated for money laundering and facilitating unregulated security offerings. Several startups and crypto firms were also debanked and barred from the banking sector.  Effectively, any bank or financial firm that tried to custody crypto assets became a target. Attempts to repeal this move with bipartisan support were vetoed

Bitcoin has done it again: From an all-time high of around $120,000, it has dropped to about $60,000 within a few months – a decrease of around 50%. Those who invested at the peak are now staring at a halved portfolio. However, those who invested with a clear plan and the right investment strategy are already familiar with this scenario from previous cycles and know: Right now is when the foundation for future returns is being laid.  Key InsightsBitcoin fell from about $120,000 to around $60,000 in 2025/2026 – a decline of about 50%, which is historically not unusual in the crypto space (comparable to 2017/18 and 2021/22).Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is a proven strategy where you regularly invest a fixed amount – regardless of the current price. This smooths out your entry price and helps you avoid the trap of market timing.Large investment funds and pension funds operate on the same principle: they invest regularly over decades instead of reacting to short-term market fluctuations.During crash phases, you as an investor have three options: continue DCA consistently, partially shift into stablecoins, or pause your savings plan and wait for recovery signals.The perfect entry point is less important than having a clear

Will Solana price slide to $50 next as whales cut exposure?

Solana price has fallen to a multi-year low as a major corporate holder moved $31.9 million worth of $SOL to Coinbase Prime, adding to fears that whales are reducing exposure during the market selloff.  According to data from crypto.news, Solana ($SOL) traded near $62 on June 6 after briefly falling to the $60 area.

‘More stable returns’ – Ethena expands RWA exposure with AAA-rated CLO funds

Ethena protocol has begun expansion to RWA (real-world asset) tokenization to boost yields and decouple from crypto market cycles. On Friday, the firm behind the yield-paying stablecoin $USDe said,  The first asset category under evaluation is AAA CLOs, which sit at the top of the capital stack, with a zero default rate at the AAA level across the entire history of the asset class.  Source: X  Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) are a pool of loans from individual companies handled by asset managers. Think of it as an ETF index tracking different stocks of various companies and offered to investors. But instead of tracking stocks, CLOs track pooled corporate loans.  Now, the AAA mark is the highest evaluation score rating firms like Moodys can place on such financial products. The AAA rating means the product has the lowest level of default or high credit quality.  Why Ethena is betting on CLOs  Beyond credit quality, Ethena is seeking an RWA asset with high liquidity and a low downside profile. According to the team, CLOs, especially the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund, fit this criteria.  Notably, during the financial crisis, like the COVID-19 era and high Fed interest rates, the broader CLO sector only fell 8% and 2%, respectively.

Why Did Bitcoin Crash? On-Chain Data Points To One Missing Ingredient

Bitcoin is struggling as the price tests $62,000 as support — a level that would represent a significant extension of the correction from the cycle highs and a test of the structural foundation that bulls have been pointing to throughout the decline. The weakness is real and the selling pressure is persistent — and XWIN Research Japan has published an analysis that cuts through the competing macro narratives to identify what the on-chain data suggests is the actual driver of the current correction.  The explanations circulating in the market range from geopolitical tensions to Federal Reserve policy to Strategy‘s recent small Bitcoin sale. XWIN Research Japan’s CryptoQuant analysis suggests a simpler and more fundamental explanation: buyers disappeared.  The engine that powered Bitcoins 2024 to 2025 rally was not leverage, not retail momentum, and not speculative excess. It was consistent and sustained inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs — a structural demand source that absorbed supply methodically and provided the bid that supported progressively higher prices. In 2026, that engine reversed. ETF outflows increased while the Coinbase Premium remained negative for an extended period. Confirming that US institutional demand, the most durable and most significant category of buyer the market has ever seen,

Solana Treasury Bet Turns Sour: Firm Sits On $1.13B Unrealized Loss

Solana has been struggling with selling pressure as the broader market feels the weight of a correction that has tested support levels across the ecosystem. The price is under stress — and data from Arkham Intelligence has identified a specific institutional transaction that adds a direct supply dimension to the current weakness on one of the most closely watched blockchains in crypto.  Forward Industries — a publicly traded company that has been building a Solana treasury strategy, accumulating $SOL as a primary reserve asset in a model that draws direct comparison to MicroStrategys Bitcoin approach — has deposited 455,784 $SOL worth approximately $31.87 million to Coinbase Prime after a month of complete inactivity.  Forward Industries moves Solana to Coinbase | Source: Arkham  A company that has been building a $SOL treasury and has shown no exchange-directed activity for a full month, choosing this specific moment to move nearly $32 million worth of Solana to Coinbase Prime, describes a deliberate decision rather than routine portfolio management.  Whether the deposit represents preparation for selling, a financing arrangement, or strategic repositioning is the question the Arkham data raises — and the answer carries direct implications for Solanas ability to hold current support levels.
