Insider: Trump campaign has no connection with DJT, the meme coin
Odaily Planet Daily reported that there have been rumors recently that the Meme coin DJT was issued with the support of Trump, which has attracted industry attention.
The lack of communication from the Trump campaign on the matter has raised public doubts about the authenticity of the reports. A source revealed that the Trump campaign was not involved in the project.

His bet with the pseudonymous trader GCR was as high as $100 million, but it was canceled due to disagreements on the terms.
Currently, bettors on the Polymarket platform now believe that there is a 3% chance that Trump or his family members or employees will issue the token, with a bet liquidity of nearly $2.5 million and a peak probability of 59% on June 17. (DL News)

चरित्र*आवाज़
Odaily Planet Daily News BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes published an analysis in his personal blog that Japans fifth largest bank, Norinchukin Bank, recently announced that it would sell US$63 billion worth of US and European bonds. This indicates that other Japanese banks may follow suit and sell up to US$450 billion in US bonds in total.
Hayes pointed out that the reason why Japanese banks sold off US bonds in large quantities was that the US-Japan interest rate differential widened sharply, causing a sharp increase in the foreign exchange hedging cost of holding US bonds, and holding these bonds has begun to lose money. In the election year, US Treasury Secretary Yellen is likely to ask the Bank of Japan to absorb these sold bonds through the Federal Reserves FIMA repurchase tool to avoid a sharp rise in US bond yields and trigger financial market turmoil.
Hayes believes that if the Federal Reserve prints money on a large scale to buy back the U.S. bonds sold by Japan, it will bring a new round of dollar liquidity to the cryptocurrency market and boost a new round of cryptocurrency bull market. Hayes said that in order to maintain the current dollar-based financial system, the supply of dollars must increase, which will undoubtedly push up the prices of crypto assets including Bitcoin.
Odaily Planet Daily News: Greeks.live macro researcher Adam posted on the X platform that the end of June is about to enter the quarterly delivery, and the forward option trading volume has increased significantly this week, mainly in the form of large call option combinations.
Judging from the options data, although RV fluctuates greatly, IV has been relatively stable in the past two weeks, with relatively small absolute values and fluctuation levels. Based on past experience, there is often no major market trend before quarterly delivery.
The trend in the second quarter of this year is relatively weak, which is in line with historical experience in previous years. The trend in the third quarter is generally also struggling, and the end of the third quarter is generally the point when the market recovers.
Odaily Planet Daily News Mechanism Capital co-founder Andrew Kang wrote on X: Some market views currently show that experts suggest that the time for seeking approval/ETFs to be added to wealth management platforms has been postponed from the originally planned end of May to the fourth quarter.
Although market momentum has turned from up to down due to the lack of significant ETF inflows, I firmly believe that Bitcoin remains strong and will not fall below $50,000. While the weekly chart may indicate a double top, I believe the market structure has changed significantly from previous cycles, with more DCA buyers creating higher bottoms and equilibrium points for Bitcoin, while large momentum players (such as 3AC, Alameda, Celsius, etc.) have relatively less leverage.
For Ethereum, I predict that its price may remain stable until the ETF is listed, but the upper limit of the rise is expected to be around $4,000 this year. However, if the fund flow performance is disappointing or there is a large amount of ETHE selling, its price may fall to between $2,000 and $3,000. I noticed that the publicity and familiarity about Ethereum are unusually high in the market, which also makes investors expectations of ETFs higher than ordinary buyers.
Solana has outperformed during this cycle, but it has also seen a reflexive nature to meme coin trading demand, which has had an impact in both directions. If meme coin trading were to halt in the coming months, then SOL could fall to $80 again.”
The ETF Store President: Still Believes Ethereum Spot ETF Will Be Launched Before July 4

I still expect (the Ethereum spot ETF) to launch before July 4th.
Additionally, I would not be surprised if another one or two issuers file for a combined Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETF in the next week or so.”

Headlines Feds Kashkari: No more than 2 rate cuts expected in June economic forecast Kashkari of the Federal Reserve said that no more than 2 rate cuts are expected in the June economic forecast. Inflation seems to be stable for some time, and more patience may be needed. The US economy is in good shape, but if the inflation target of 2% is not achieved, it will damage the credibility of the Federal Reserve. It is more likely than raising interest rates that interest rates will be kept at the current level for longer than the public expects. It is not that monetary policy has no impact, but that the impact is not as large as expected, nor as fast as expected. (Jinshi) Grayscale withdraws 19b-4 filing for Ethereum futures…
