Three cryptocurrency wallets made a combined $24.25 million profit on World Cup prediction markets before sending the proceeds to the same Binance deposit address, raising questions over whether a single trader controlled the accounts. On June 21, blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain identified the wallets as mintblade, GRIMDRIP, and EndlessFate. The shared funding route suggests a potential link between the accounts, but it does not establish who operated them or whether any nonpublic information was involved, Lookonchain said.

A New York lawsuit seeking title to more than $200 billion in dormant Bitcoin, including coins tied to Satoshi Nakamoto, is facing on-chain activity that challenges its core abandonment argument. Dozens of the addresses targeted as “lost” have moved billions of dollars’ worth of BTC, calling into question whether the wallets can be treated as abandoned property under state law. The case centers on whether coins that remain controllable via private keys can be deemed abandoned even if they have been inactive for years.

The Jaredfromsubway MEV bot, linked to roughly 70% of Ethereum sandwich attacks, lost more than $7.5 million in an allowance drain after its automated system authorized attacker-controlled contracts to spend its tokens. The bot, known as Jaredfromsubway.eth, approved a series of transactions that appeared to be part of profitable trading routes.

Elon Musk crossed $1 trillion in personal wealth on Friday after SpaceX's Nasdaq debut, with his fortune listed at $1.11 trillion. The milestone places his net worth above the combined market capitalization of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin, and roughly equal to half of the full crypto market when Bitcoin is included.

BitMine purchased an additional 60,000 ETH worth about $126 million while Ethereum traded near $2,000, taking its holdings to more than 5.2 million ETH valued at roughly $11.1 billion.

Bitcoin fell below $75,000 for the first time since mid-April, sliding more than 3% in the past 24 hours to $74,255 after trading above $77,000 earlier. The selloff weighed on major tokens and coincided with $941 million in 24-hour derivatives liquidations, dominated by long positions and led by Bitcoin- and Ethereum-linked contracts.

On Thursday, U.S. lawmakers introduced the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) of 2026 to create a Treasury-run Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate federal Digital Asset Stockpile for non-Bitcoin holdings. The proposal would consolidate custody of seized crypto and, citing Bitcoin Treasuries data, formalize management of 328,372 BTC valued at more than $25 billion while requiring BTC in the reserve to be held for at least 20 years.

Glassnode says 6.04 million BTC—30.2% of circulating supply—sits in wallets whose public keys have already been revealed after spending, a setup that concentrates potential quantum-related risk in large custodians. The dataset indicates exchanges hold about 1.66 million exposed BTC, while exposure varies widely by entity, from Binance's 85% to Coinbase's 5% of labeled balances.

XRP is seeing stronger institutional and on-chain signals, but its spot price remains under pressure amid broader market consolidation. Over the past 24 hours, XRP fell more than 5% to $1.40 after briefly topping $1.54 for the first time in two months. The divergence shows up in ETF inflows, large Binance withdrawals, and a two-month high in XRPL activity.
