🔐 Coldcard Losses Near $89M as Bitcoin Slides Under $63K Bitcoin fell below $63,000 despite easing macro pressures, as fresh Coldcard-linked wallet sweeps weighed on sentiment alongside ETF outflows and policy delays. Oil and Treasury yields declined following U.S.-Iran talks, reducing near-term inflation fears — yet neither Bitcoin nor Ether caught a bid. Observed losses tied to Coldcard-linked sweeps reached nearly $89 million, adding a security overhang to already cautious market conditions. 📈Crypto_whales

💸 Trader Turns $16K into Over $1.2M with Meme Coin An anonymous trader bought 293.75 million PIPEDOG tokens for 8.39 ETH (about $16,000), according to Lookonchain.

🟠 Project Eleven proposes post-quantum wallet recovery for Bitcoin Project Eleven has outlined a proposal for a post-quantum cryptographic proof system that would allow Bitcoin users to verify wallet ownership in the event of a quantum computing attack — commonly referred to as "Q-Day." The mechanism is designed to let users prove control of their wallets without exposing the private key data that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could otherwise compromise. The proposal addresses a long-standing concern in the Bitcoin community: how to recover or protect funds if elliptic curve cryptography is broken by quantum hardware. No timeline or formal Bitcoin Improvement Proposal process was announced alongside the proposal. 📈Crypto_whales

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bitcoin just set a new record... for time spent above its current price Across its entire history, BTC has now spent 850 days trading above today's price—the longest such period ever recorded. Does this guarantee a market bottom? Not at all. Statistics alone aren't a reason to open high-leverage longs, and the market can always stay irrational longer than expected. However, for long-term spot investors, extended periods like this have historically offered attractive accumulation opportunities. If you're investing with patience rather than leverage, the current discount may be worth paying attention to. 📈Crypto_whales

June saw record Bitcoin ETF outflows of $4.06 billion, surpassing the February 2025 record of $3.56 billion. This indicates institutions are aggressively cutting risk, increasing selling pressure on a weak market. Historically, extreme outflows signal contrarian bottoms, yet institutions aren't buying the dip yet. Traditional finance is now defensive; Bitcoin needs fresh demand to regain momentum. 📈Crypto_whales

Core Principles Under Fire: CZ's Quantum Defense Plan Sparks Intense Bitcoin Censorship Debate Blockchain Purists vs. Pragmatists. While supporters view CZ's proposal as an essential shield against total supply inflation via quantum hacking, critics argue that freezing any address destroys Bitcoin’s status as permissionless money. 📈Crypto_whales

💻 Jared Sandwich Bot Exploited for $14M Jaredfromsubway is a top sandwich bot that front- and back-runs trades across many pools. An attacker exploited it by creating 100+ fake Uniswap V2 pairs with fake wrapped tokens, mimicking real pools but controlled by the attacker. These fake routes gave Jared small real-token profits after each swap, tricking it into repeatedly back-running the attacker’s fake swaps. Jared had approved real assets like WETH, USDC, and USDT to these fake contracts and never revoked them. The attacker gained 50 live allowances:16 for WETH, 20 for USDC, and 14 for USDT — then drained 4,759 WETH, 3.58M USDC, and 2.53M USDT, totaling about $14 million. A clean play against the master sandwich bot. 📈Crypto_whales

🧩 Microsoft Detects New CryptoVirus Spreading via USB Microsoft experts have identified a new malware called CryptoBandits that spreads through USB drives by replacing copied cryptocurrency wallet addresses with those of attackers. Once infected, the virus can steal seed phrases and private keys, take screenshots, and execute commands from operators on the victim's device. Microsoft advises against using unknown USB drives and stresses verifying wallet addresses before sending funds. 📈Crypto_whales

⚡️SpaceX's Massive IPO Today SpaceX is set to debut on Nasdaq today with a valuation near $2 trillion and plans to raise about $75 billion, making it the largest IPO ever.

The IPO’s impact on stocks, AI, and crypto remains a hot topic. 📈Crypto_whales

🧠 During the weekend sell-off, Tether (USDT) briefly surpassed Ethereum (ETH) in market cap for the first time. This wasn't driven by USDT growth, but by ETH's sharp decline and a broader crypto market plunge. Simultaneously, ETH dropped out of the top 100 most valuable assets globally. The event highlights capital flowing into stability over risk as traders de-risked, making the largest stablecoin temporarily more valuable than the second-largest cryptocurrency. 📈Crypto_whales
