On June 11, Phong Le, the company’s CEO, told CNBC during an interview that the main reason the firm sold Bitcoin was to “let the market adapt” and test its internal operational processes. This move does not represent a shift in the company’s long-term Bitcoin holding strategy; instead, it’s a way to verify that related transactions and processes function smoothly.

June 11th – Tomorrow morning, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will officially kick off. For football fans, the quadrennial event is an absolute highlight, but investors are growing concerned that the World Cup will divert market focus and could negatively impact the investment space. BlockBeats has combed through historical data to summarize how the U.S. stock market and Bitcoin performed during past World Cups: U.S. Stock Market: Over 40 years of World Cup history, the S&P 500 has posted 5 gains and 5 declines, with an average return of approximately -0.18% and a median return of around +0.30%. Overall, there’s no distinct "World Cup Curse" for U.S. stocks, though volatility drops significantly during these tournaments. To break it down: the 1998 World Cup coincided with a strong period for U.S. equities, leading to the index’s largest gain during a World Cup; the 2002 World Cup took place amid the bursting of the dot-com bubble and a financial trust crisis, resulting in the index’s steepest

On June 11, Glassnode released its weekly market report, noting Bitcoin is showing clear signs of a late-stage correction. Recent buyers are sitting on substantial losses, realized losses remain elevated, and several key demand drivers have seen a sharp decline. Bitcoin’s drop to around $60,000 triggered a major deleveraging event that wiped out a large number of speculative positions in the market. While this helped reset leverage levels, spot demand hasn’t yet seen a meaningful recovery. The options market remains defensive overall: elevated implied volatility points to strong demand for downside hedging, and traders’ positions are clustered around the current spot price. Additionally, falling institutional participation and a slowdown in corporate treasury accumulation suggest risk appetite is still muted. Overall, the market appears to be moving deeper into the surrender phase. Though leverage has been largely reset and valuation metrics have hit historic lows, the demand respons

On June 11, the U.S. states of Delaware and New Jersey are advancing legislation to fully ban the installation and operation of cryptocurrency ATMs (crypto ATMs), citing that the devices are widely used in scam activities. The Delaware House Economic Committee has passed a bill that would prohibit the holding, installation, or operation of crypto ATMs. Existing devices must be removed within 90 days of the bill taking effect; violators face a maximum fine of $10,000, and may be required to reimburse costs or contribute to a consumer protection fund. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a similar bill to ban crypto ATM operations, with a maximum penalty of $20,000 for violations. According to May Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) data, there were nearly 13,500 crypto ATM-related complaints in 2025, resulting in losses exceeding $388 million — a significant rise from the previous year, with over half of victims being aged 50 or older.
