šŸ“Œ Trump Media Files for Bitcoin–Ether ETF

Trump‑affiliated firm pushes major crypto ETF plan

Trump Media & Technology Group filed with the SEC to launch an ETF holding 75% Bitcoin and 25% Ether. Partnering with Crypto.com, it's the firm’s latest crypto play after announcing plans for a ā€œBitcoin treasuryā€ and pushing a presidential stablecoin, USD1. It’s a bold splash into mainstream finance—if approved, it could cool the ETF space further and light regulatory fireworks. Expect SEC scrutiny, backlash, and debate shaped by the MAGA-adjacent angle.

  • šŸ” ETF adds to growing institutional race

  • šŸ“ˆ 75/25 split signals bullish asset view

  • āš–ļø Regulatory showdown brewing over approval

šŸ“‰ Tron to Go Public via Reverse Merger

Iustin Sun merges with toy company—Tron IPO incoming

Tron’s parent group is going public through a reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment, a toy maker. The deal includes a $100M purchase of TRX tokens to form Tron’s treasury strategy—seen as the latest trend of corporates holding crypto assets. SRM shares are already up 500% on the news, sending a loud signal: crypto is moving into the balance sheet mainstream. This could open the floodgates for more tokenizing public companies—some may call it post-modern treasury diversification.

  • 🧩 Corporate crypto treasuries on the rise

  • šŸ’° Token-backed IPOs = new capital flows

  • šŸš€ Could kickstart token‑equity hybrid era

šŸ“Š Chart of the Day: Bitcoin Holding $106K

Mid‑June consolidation spotlights geopolitical resilience

Despite recent Israel–Iran tensions, Bitcoin has climbed back above $106K and is stabilizing. TradingView shows volume remains firm, suggesting the dip on geopolitical news wasn’t a shakeout but a dip-buy event. With market cap topping $3.31T and select altcoins like Solana and Hyperliquid jumping ~7%, crypto feels more safe‑haven than risk asset in turbulent times. Chart alert: the $106K zone is proving to be a major floor.

  • šŸ“‰ Geo‑fear catalyst, not crash trigger

  • šŸ“ˆ Altseason sparks across key chains

šŸ“ˆ Narrative to Watch: Stablecoin Regulation Surges

GENIUS Act, Circle, and policy heat pushing stablecoin reforms

The GENIUS Act is gaining momentum, poised to transform stablecoins into backbone internet money—dramatically increasing payment utility. Meanwhile, Circle stock popped nearly 18% on growing optimism around regulatory clarity. Taken together, regulators and markets are prepping for stablecoins to go from fringe to functional. Watch this space: if reforms pass, anonymity costs rise, compliance ramps, but adoption goes parabolic.

  • šŸ“œ Regulatory clarity = mainstream growth
    🧭 Circle’s stock reflects policy sentiment
    🌐 Web‑native payments get legit infrastructure

šŸ›  Bitget Joins UNICEF for Blockchain Education

Bitget + UNICEF Game Changers coalition launches major ed effort

Bitget has joined UNICEF’s Game Changers coalition to deliver blockchain education to 300K people in 2025. Focus is on digital literacy in emerging markets—teaching real developers and entrepreneurs rather than headline chasing. It’s a pivot from hype to impact, demonstrating blockchain’s soft-power potential. If successful, this could seed the next generation of builders while improving public perception.

🐸 For the Degens: $LIBRA Meme Revival

Argentina’s scandal-hit meme coin sneaks back into spotlight

$LIBRA, Argentina’s scandal meme coin, resurfaces amid a revival in meme‑token mania. After spiking to a $4.6B market cap and crashing 85% in February, whispers of relaunch are stirring. While it won’t re-hit prior highs overnight, buzz is creating pockets of hyper‑volatility. A reminder: memecoins never die—they just wait for the next scandal to pop.

  • šŸŽ­ Rug-pull origin story fuels remixed hype

    ⚔ Mega pump potential—and cleanup risk

    šŸ™ƒ Meme cycles are eternal, no lessons learned
