India’s Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said petrol and diesel prices could be reduced if Brent crude stays at current low levels for the next two to three months. Brent has fallen to around $70.37 a barrel, a four-year low, amid easing geopolitical tensions and the resumption of key shipping flows. Puri said state-run oil marketing companies are still working through higher-cost crude inventories bought earlier, delaying any retail price cuts.

On June 30, 2026, data tracked by Nansen showed ENA whale wallets added roughly 20 million ENA in a single day. Their holdings jumped 3,166% to 20.63 million ENA, while ENA’s price fell about 4.4% over the same period. The buying followed a cluster of institutional signals in June, including Coinbase Ventures’ open-market ENA purchase tied to USDC integration work, a disclosed ENA position and regulated ETP plans from Janus Henderson’s ANTIK venture, and Ethena’s $250 million allocation to Securitize’s AAA-rated tokenized CLO fund. The pattern suggests institutions were using the pullback to build ENA exposure rather than purely trade momentum.
