June 22 — Analyst Gaah cited data from CryptoQuant, noting that Bitcoin’s Cycle Momentum indicator signals the current bear market isn’t over yet. The metric has failed to climb above its neutral zone (0), confirming the bear market is still ongoing. The indicator has dipped to the -30 level, a historically deep area where cyclical BTC bottoms tend to form. This -30 range has long acted as a major support level for Bitcoin, per past market cycles. That said, to validate a trend reversal, BTC’s price will need to carve out a bullish chart pattern, paired with the indicator crossing above the 0 neutral threshold.

June 22 – According to financial market sources, the Bank of England has scrapped its earlier proposal to cap individual and corporate stablecoin holdings, and instead will cap the initial total amount of each stablecoin at no more than ￡40 billion. The central bank also slightly softened rules around eligible reserve assets, a change made in response to feedback from the industry. This move removes a major barrier to stablecoin adoption, signaling the Bank of England is taking a more pragmatic regulatory approach to pound sterling stablecoins. That said, final rules are still set to be finalized by the end of this year, with systemic protection measures remaining in place. So far, the market has not seen any significant reaction in terms of price shifts or trading volume.

# South Korean Semiconductor Storage Exports Set for Record High in June Amid AI Demand Surge SEOUL, South Korea – June 22 – Critini Research analyst Jukan cited South Korean IT media outlet The Electronic Times on social media Tuesday, reporting that South Korea’s semiconductor storage exports are on track to hit a historic peak this June. The Electronic Times’ report notes June’s storage exports have maintained robust momentum, with surging artificial intelligence (AI) demand and tight supplies driving a simultaneous jump in both export values and unit prices. Shortages of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) have spilled over into general DRAM, NAND, and solid-state drives (SSDs), pushing total exports projected to exceed May’s previous all-time high of $37.16 billion. Data from South Korea’s Customs Office, released June 22, shows major storage product exports from June 1 to 20 already topped $23 billion – more than 60% of May’s full-month total.

As of June 22, the latest data from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool shows there’s a 61.5% chance the Federal Reserve will hold its benchmark interest rate steady at its July meeting, while the odds of a rate cut hover around 38.5%.

On June 22, the Ethereum Research Forum unveiled a new governance proposal called "Validator Redirected Revenue," which would let validators shift between 0% and 10% of their staking rewards toward funding development tools, security research, public infrastructure, and other ecosystem public goods. Under the proposal, validators would first voluntarily signal the percentage of rewards they’re willing to contribute. If more than half of all validators back a non-zero contribution rate, the mechanism would apply to every validator. Nodes can also name specific fund recipients, and the money would flow automatically via a dedicated allocation smart contract. The Ethereum ecosystem currently grapples with the so-called "free-rider problem": countless projects rely on public infrastructure, research, and security work but have no consistent way to fund these efforts. As long-term ETH holders, validators should shoulder a share of the costs of Ethereum’s growth. Current data puts Ethereum

June 22 – Global markets have shifted their primary focus away from the Middle East conflict itself, now fixated on a reevaluation of monetary policy and global liquidity conditions. While the U.S. and Iran made tangible progress in their Switzerland talks—agreeing to form a high-level political oversight committee and outline a 60-day roadmap toward a final deal—tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have yet to fully ease. Major gaps remain between the two nations over Lebanon and oil sanction waivers, leaving geopolitical risks far from extinguished. Energy markets are now pricing in expectations of a supply recovery. Libyan oil production has hit its highest level since 2013, Iraq is planning a phased restoration of pre-conflict production capacity, and Qatar has begun preparations to resume LNG exports. Markets are recalibrating how this Middle East supply chain rebound will shape global energy prices and inflation paths, as war-driven disruptions give way to returning production volum
