The cryptocurrency market faced multiple challenges in June. At the beginning of the month, security issues such as AI face-swapping and plugin traps led to significant user losses. Subsequently, a large amount of tokens from the founder of a DeFi protocol faced liquidation. Several high-profile projects announced token airdrops, but the rules for claiming them raised community doubts. In addition, two major institutions are about to sell off large amounts of Bitcoin, putting pressure on the market. Nevertheless, June also saw some positive news, such as the anticipated approval of Ethereum spot ETFs, the application for SOL spot ETFs, and breakthroughs in the TON ecosystem.
