Ogle, a pseudonymous crypto sleuth and founder of Layer 1 project Glue, has alleged that the Across Protocol team used a web of undisclosed wallets to steer DAO votes in their favor, which enabled the team to transfer almost $23 million from the Across DAO treasury to their private company, Risk Labs. According to Ogle, while Across operates under the appearance of decentralized governance, insiders, including project lead Kevin Chan and CEO Hart Lambur, orchestrated governance proposals requesting large grants from the DAO under the premise of benefiting the protocol but used hidden, insider-linked wallets to manufacture the appearance of broad community support. Allegations of $23M DAO Manipulation Ogle, who also happens to be an adviser for Donald Trump-tied WLFI, claimed that on-chain traces suggest that wallets tied to Chan, including “maxodds.eth,” and others, funded by Lambur and team members, cast decisive “yes” votes to pass treasury proposals that may not have cleared quorum otherwise. He also spoke about a 2023 proposal that transferred 100 million ACX, then valued around $15 million, to Risk Labs under terms that stated the tokens would not be sold for two years, though later discussions indicated token option sales to strategic investors, contradicting initial claims. A subsequent proposal seeking 50 million ACX, worth $7.5 million, also passed with heavy insider wallet support, with Ogle noting that Chan’s wallets accounted for nearly half of the “yes” votes. The pattern, Ogle claimed, indicates that the team proposed and passed grants to their private for-profit entity while maintaining a facade of community governance. He added that these contradict core DAO principles designed to protect against conflicts of interest by ensuring that those controlling a protocol cannot quietly benefit at the expense of the broader token holder community. Ogle also disclosed he holds a long position in the ACX token and has previously transacted with the team. He stated that the alleged misuse of hidden votes to secure large token transfers to Risk Labs not only drains DAO resources but also creates future sell pressure for holders. Lambur Responds: “We Did Nothing Wrong” Lambur, for one, refuted the allegations, calling them “completely untrue.” The exec clarified that Risk Labs is a nonprofit Cayman foundation, not a private for-profit entity, and operates under fiduciary responsibilities. He also explained that the DAO proposals followed transparent processes with public discussions and a seven-day voting period that received no objections. Lambur stated that team members are allowed to buy ACX tokens with personal funds and vote in DAO proposals without disclosing all wallet addresses, while noting that addresses like “maxodds.eth” are publicly linked to Chan and were not used secretly. The co-founder of Across Protocol denied claims that the team sold granted tokens early, pointing out that the Risk Labs multisig still holds more tokens than were granted, aligning with the stated vesting commitments. Lambur acknowledged room for improvement in explicitly disclosing voting participation within proposals but rejected the notion that the DAO votes were manipulated, and stressed Across’s steady protocol growth and commitment to transparency. Lashing out at Ogle’s credibility and motives, he tweeted, “Ogle is completely anonymous, although he was recently (and credibly) accused of insider trading on the Trump memecoin. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but this guy isn’t exactly the most credible actor in our space. Ogle: I doubt I’ll get an apology from you for your incredibly dishonest post. But I hope you think twice before accusing other good teams in the future.” The post Across Protocol Team Accused of a $23M Grab; Co-Founder Responds appeared first on CryptoPotato .
Americans have now piled up a whopping $1.18 trillion in credit card debt, and a huge chunk of the population is lying about it to loved ones, according to a new report. Nearly four in ten Americans saddled with credit card debt have been dishonest about it, with wealthier individuals more likely to hide the truth, says LendingTree in a new report. “LendingTree surveyed more than 900 people with credit card debt and found that many feel ashamed about it. Many have chosen to keep quiet about what they owe, while others take it a step further, lying to those closest to them about what they’re going through.” Credit card balances have surged since 2021 when they reached a collective bottom at $770 billion, thanks in part to pandemic-era checks from the government. Since then, things have taken a turn for the worse. • 39% of Americans with credit card debt have lied about it, usually to their spouse, partner, parents or siblings. • 49% feel shame about their level of credit card debt and either downplay or hide the burden. • 46% of Americans now hold at least some credit card debt, and half of Americans making at least six figures have it. • 35% of women with credit card debt will admit it, compared to 21% for men, and baby boomers are more than twice as likely as Gen Zers or Millennials to tell the truth. LendingTree says a majority of Americans feel they have a grip on their credit card debt, regardless of whether they’re comfortable talking with their loved ones about it.

Summary Bitcoin set new all-time highs above $110K, though geopolitical tension briefly pushed BTC as low as $98K on June 22nd, marking a six-week low. Metaplanet’s +125% rally highlights recent investor preference for balance sheet BTC exposure over operational mining models, though leadership could shift with some valuations looking stretched. While future conditions remain uncertain, Bitcoin’s evolving role as both a high-beta tech proxy and a macro hedge may allow it to benefit across multiple scenarios. A major factor behind Bitcoin’s weaker on-chain metrics is the collapse in activity related to Ordinals, which allowed users to inscribe digital content onto individual Satoshis— effectively enabling Bitcoin-native NFTs. Bitcoin sets new highs and holds strong above $100K as Ordinals fade and onchain activity slows. Equity markets reward treasury-heavy BTC proxies over operational miners. Please note that VanEck has exposure to bitcoin. Three key takeaways for mid-May to mid-June: Price Resilience in a Volatile Macro Backdrop: Bitcoin ((BTC)) set new all-time highs above $110K , though geopolitical tension briefly pushed BTC as low as $98K on June 22nd, marking a six-week low. Onchain Activity Slows: Transaction volume and fee revenue declined, with Ordinals volumes hitting year-to-date lows, highlighting Bitcoin’s growing reliance on off-chain adoption. Treasury Plays Outperform… for Now: Metaplanet’s ( MTPLF ) +125% rally highlights recent investor preference for balance sheet BTC exposure over operational mining models, though leadership could shift with some valuations looking stretched.

Not intended as a recommendation to buy or sell any securities named herein. Bitcoin quietly carved new all-time highs this month, reaching nearly $112K on May 22 and trading above $110K again on June 9. Yet, in the wake of escalating U.S.-Iran tensions over the weekend, BTC briefly fell to ~$98K , its lowest level in over a month, before stabilizing back above $100K . Despite this volatility, 30-day moving averages remain elevated at ~$ 107K . Interestingly, borrowing rates have cooled to 7%, about 50% lower than at the start of 2025, indicating neutral market sentiment and increased stability. While future conditions remain uncertain, Bitcoin’s evolving role as both a high-beta tech proxy and a macro hedge may allow it to benefit across multiple scenarios. In peace, improved risk appetite could favor high-growth assets like BTC. In conflict, rising fiscal deficits and currency concerns may bolster the asset’s appeal among reserve-seeking investors. Bitcoin’s Market Cap Dominance Hit Multi-Year Highs in June Source: Glassnode as of 6/19/2025. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Not intended as a recommendation to buy or sell any securities named herein. Bitcoin Dominance and Institutional Flows Bitcoin’s market dominance rose another 1% in June, setting a new 30-day moving average high for this cycle. This continued rise reflects Bitcoin’s strengthening role as the preferred crypto asset among institutional investors, even as altcoins remain largely trapped in speculative, retail-driven narratives. Since the 2021–2022 altcoin cycle, Bitcoin has reclaimed nearly all market share gains made by other crypto assets. The momentum in dominance supports the view that Bitcoin has matured into a digital store-of-value -- functionally “digital gold”-- for both public and private institutions. Unlike prior cycles, investors today can access leveraged BTC exposure through public equities. Strategy (MSTR), for example, offers deep liquidity and capital efficiency, while smaller entrants like Semler Scientific ( SMLR ) provide high-volatility trading opportunities. These structures appear to absorb speculative demand that might have previously flowed into altcoins. While ETH and SOL treasury strategies show early promise, Bitcoin continues to command the lion’s share of institutional flows, supported by its dominant liquidity, simple narrative, and macro positioning. Altcoins, by contrast, have struggled to attract sustained inflows, with market activity largely rotational and retail-driven. As a result, Bitcoin appears to be pulling in net new capital, while altcoins operate in a more insular environment, reinforcing BTC’s status as the foundation of institutional crypto exposure. Onchain Performance: Activity Slows as Offchain Adoption Grows Daily Bitcoin Transactions and Fees Hovered Near YTD Lows in June Source: Glassnode as of 6/19/2025. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Not intended as a recommendation to buy or sell any securities named herein. While market-facing indicators such as price action, futures, flows, and institutional positioning remain supportive, Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics point to softening activity. Over the past 30 days: The Bitcoin network processed an average of 364,000 transactions per day, down 8% month-over-month and 42% year-over-year. Daily fee revenue averaged $641K , down 57% year-to-date. In contrast, block rewards earned by miners remain elevated at approximately $45M per day, assuming 144 blocks/day at $100K per BTC. This means that, on an annualized basis, transaction fees account for just 1.4% of the estimated $16.4B in yearly block rewards, a stark mismatch between network usage and price performance. This disconnect may persist, especially as Bitcoin adoption increasingly occurs offchain through financial products like ETPs and corporate treasuries, rather than through native blockchain activity. Looking ahead, the scheduled block reward halvings in 2028 and 2032 will further reduce miner revenue, raising structural questions about the long-term sustainability of security incentives if fee generation doesn’t materially recover. Ordinals ("Bitcoin NFTs") Activity Fell To 2025 Lows in June Source: Glassnode as of 6/19/2025. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Not intended as a recommendation to buy or sell any securities named herein. Ordinals Cool Off A major factor behind Bitcoin’s weaker on-chain metrics is the collapse in activity related to Ordinals, which allowed users to inscribe digital content onto individual Satoshis—effectively enabling Bitcoin-native NFTs. After launching in early 2023, Ordinals briefly revitalized Bitcoin’s base layer, bringing in unprecedented retail demand. Transaction volumes surged, fees spiked, and Bitcoin—which historically lacked the smart contract capabilities of chains like Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) and Solana ( SOL-USD )—saw renewed relevance as an application layer. From late 2023 through early 2024, Ordinals helped narrow the perceived gap between Bitcoin and more expressive chains by enabling digital collectibles, meme assets, and experimental DeFi primitives on BTC. But in June, activity collapsed: transaction volumes fell 39% month-over-month, marking new 2025 lows and the weakest performance since the latest wave of interest began in late 2024. The decline reflects both cooling speculative interest and structural challenges in sustaining high-fee on-chain activity. While the protocol was an important moment for Bitcoin’s cultural evolution, its volatility underscores the difficulty of building persistent user demand on a chain not optimized for programmability. Bitcoin Pure-Play Stocks Source: FactSet as of 6/19/2025. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Not intended as a recommendation to buy or sell any securities named herein. Metaplanet (+125%) Metaplanet stood out as a top performer among Bitcoin pure-plays this month, up 125% MoM. The company announced three purchases of Bitcoin: On May 19th, June 2nd, and June 16th, Metaplanet acquired 1,004 , 1,088 , and 1,112 Bitcoin, respectively, bringing its total holdings to 10,000 BTC . The company also announced its 2025-2027 Bitcoin Plan, targeting 210,000 BTC by 2027. While we flag that Metaplanet’s NAV Premium to basic shares ( ~7.1x ) remains elevated compared to Strategy’s ( ~1.8x ) and Semler Scientific’s (~1.1x ), we recognize the company’s dominance as a Bitcoin treasury company in the Japanese and broader Asian markets, in addition to certain tax and regulatory advantages it offers over spot Bitcoin. Strategy (-11%) In late May, Strategy announced its latest Bitcoin acquisition, adding 4,020 to bring its total to 580,250 BTC . On June 6th, Strategy priced a $980M public offering of 10.00% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock ('STRD'), with proceeds earmarked for further Bitcoin acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The non-cumulative preferred shares, structured to pay quarterly cash dividends when declared, represent Strategy’s latest innovation in capital structure to scale BTC exposure without issuing common equity. While MSTR’s 1M performance was negative, we note that its YTD (+28%) performance still largely outpaces Bitcoin’s (+7%), and that its NAV premium suggests more downside protection than Metaplanet’s. CleanSpark (-7%) CleanSpark ( CLSK ) doubled its BTC treasury year-over-year, now holding 12,502 BTC . In May, it produced 694 BTC , selling only 293.5 . While CleanSpark holds more BTC than Metaplanet, its market cap is only one-third as large, suggesting either a steep discount on miners or a premium on treasuries. Notably, CleanSpark has avoided equity dilution since November 2024, a rare feat in the mining space, and continues to scale through localized energy strategies. Still, the market’s broader view on mining economics remains skeptical. Marathon Digital (-12%) Despite having the highest energized hash rate (58.3 EH/s) and the second-largest BTC treasury ( 49,179 BTC ), Marathon fell 12% MoM, underperforming other pure-plays. While the company has begun building out its own infrastructure, about 45% of its operational hashrate still comes from hosted arrangements, which can limit margins and strategic flexibility, especially when compared to fully integrated miners. Marathon’s past reliance on third-party hosting and its history of equity dilution continue to weigh on investor sentiment. That overhang could persist unless the company transitions more fully to a self-operated model or demonstrates progress in diversifying its revenue base beyond core mining.

Bitcoin is treading cautiously below the $110,000 level, signaling a pause in momentum after recent highs. At the time of writing, the asset is priced at $106,841, marking a mild 0.4% decline over the past 24 hours. Despite brushing a daily high of $107,884, BTC appears to be consolidating in a narrow range, with market participants watching for the next significant move. Amid this relatively flat price action, on-chain trends suggest that not all is quiet under the surface. A new analysis by CryptoQuant contributor “oinonen” sheds light on wallet activity within Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges by trading volume. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retests $108,000, But Holders Disagree On Direction Bitcoin Mid-Tier Investors Take Center Stage on Binance Oinonen’s findings point to a sharp increase in whale-level participation, as well as a notable contribution from mid-tier investors, which could have implications for broader market behavior. Citing CryptoQuant’s on-chain metrics, the analyst revealed that Binance’s inflow data shows that wallets depositing between 10 and 100 BTC now account for 40% of all Bitcoin inflows. These wallet sizes typically belong to high-net-worth individuals, trading firms, or mid-sized institutions—those who sit between retail traders and deep-pocketed whales. In contrast, whale-level inflows (100–1,000 BTC) currently represent 20% of the total, highlighting that mid-tier players may be driving more exchange activity than larger whales at this time. Interestingly, whale activity still made a major appearance recently. On June 16, inflows of 10,000 BTC surged and made up 83% of total exchange inflows on Binance that day, reinforcing earlier observations from Oinonen about increased whale presence over the past year. According to CryptoQuant’s whale ratio metric, that presence has reportedly jumped by as much as 400% since mid-2023. Binance Deposit Data Points to Rising Institutional Interest Beyond just inflow ratios, Binance’s overall deposit metrics suggest a growing trend of larger average deposits. The average Bitcoin deposit rose from 0.36 BTC in 2023 to 1.65 BTC in 2024. The exchange processed $21.6 billion in user fund deposits in 2024, roughly 40% more than the combined totals of the next ten crypto exchanges. Despite the growing institutional footprint, the significant portion of deposits in the 10–100 BTC range shows that mid-level market participants remain active contributors to the trading ecosystem. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Top In? Bitcoin MVRV-Score Has The Answer This data may reflect a broader shift in how BTC is being accumulated and moved, where influence is shared between whales and mid-sized investors. While whale flows often generate headlines, the consistent presence of mid-tier wallets can signal healthier market participation and a more distributed form of liquidity provision across the board. With Bitcoin still consolidating near key price levels, these on-chain trends could help shape its next breakout, whenever it comes. Featured image created with DALL-E. Chart from TradingView
Why has the correlation between AI tokens and Nvidia stock broken?
Dogecoin is once again riding the wave of Elon Musk’s tweets, but Lightchain AI is taking a different path—growing steadily through pure word-of-mouth. With all 15 presale stages completed and the Bonus Round now active, Lightchain AI is capturing attention across private chats, developer forums, and investor groups without relying on celebrity endorsements. Its AI-native infrastructure, featuring a custom virtual machine and a consensus model that rewards real computation, is resonating with those seeking long-term utility. As the July 2025 mainnet launch approaches, Lightchain AI’s organic momentum proves that real tech and real traction don’t need viral moments to thrive. Dogecoin Sees Another Boost Tied to Social Media Buzz Dogecoin (DOGE) is seeing a resurgence that has seen the return of social media personality-triggered gains for the joke cryptocurrency. A renewed speculators’ interest on the back of tweets from Elon Musk mentioning DOGE with a potential new Department of Government Efficiency charge has sent the price soaring. This latest run up comes alongside a wider rally in the meme coin space, with Dogecoin climbing roughly 6% over the the last 24 hours to around $0.24. Analysts note that this uptrend could help send DOGE to $0.30 in the near term, should it continue. But they also warn that such rallies, frequently driven by social media chatter, can be precarious, and do not appear to have staying power without the traditional underpinnings of fundamental strength. Lightchain AI Builds Momentum Organically Through Community Hype Lightchain AI is building real momentum through organic community hype, not manufactured headlines. The platform actively funds builders, researchers, and emerging projects—focusing on data oracles, tooling, explorers, and dApps powered by its AI Virtual Machine (AIVM).

At just $0.007 in the Bonus Round, Lightchain isn’t about hype; it’s about substance. Backed by decentralized validator nodes, a $150,000 grant pool for dApps, and an upcoming public GitHub release, Lightchain AI is laying the groundwork for a revolutionary future. Even better? The original 5% team allocation has been reallocated to builders, ensuring innovation stays front and center.

SharpLink Gaming has expanded its cryptocurrency holdings with a recent over-the-counter (OTC) acquisition, according to data from LookIntoChain. Following a substantial purchase of 188,478 ETH valued at approximately $4.736 billion
Gemini has introduced a tokenized version of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) stock, marking a significant step in expanding onchain investment opportunities for European users. This launch addresses the limitations of
