Binance: At least 236 Alpha points can claim 800 SKATE tokens airdrop when trading starts
According to official news, Binance announced that it will be the first platform to list Skate (SKATE) for trading:
SKATE trading for Binance Alpha will start on June 9, 2025, at 10:00 (UTC);
SKATE trading for Binance contracts will start on June 9, 2025, at 10:30 (UTC);
Eligible Binance users (holding at least 236 Binance Alpha points) can claim 800 SKATE tokens airdrop through the Alpha activity page when trading begins.
Please note that claiming the airdrop will consume 15 Binance Alpha points. Users must confirm the claim on the Alpha activity page and complete the confirmation within 24 hours, otherwise it will be considered a waiver of the airdrop.
The Blockchain Group partners with TOBAM to launch €300 million Bitcoin capital increase plan
According to official news, The Blockchain Group, Europe's first Bitcoin reserve company, announced that it has signed a "market price" capital increase agreement with asset management company TOBAM, totaling €300 million (including issuance premium).
This plan aims to accelerate its Bitcoin reserve company strategy by increasing capital in batches, gradually increasing the per-share Bitcoin holdings on a fully diluted basis. TOBAM can apply to subscribe for shares as needed, with the issuance price determined by the higher of the previous day's closing price or the volume-weighted average price, and the daily issuance amount not exceeding 21% of the day's trading volume. TOBAM is a strategic investor in The Blockchain Group.
OKX is about to launch USDG (Global Dollar)

Binance releases the thirty-first proof of reserves
Binance released the thirty-first proof of reserves (snapshot date June 1). Users' net BTC asset balance is approximately 593,000 coins, down 1.82% from last month (May 1), a decrease of 10,900 coins, with a BTC ratio of 102.13%; users' net ETH asset balance is approximately 5.337 million coins, up 1.05%, an increase of 55,000 ETH, with an ETH ratio of 100%; users' net USDT asset balance is 28.83 billion coins, down 0.77%, a decrease of 223 million USDT, with a USDT ratio of 101.52%.
According to Jinshi reports, CITIC Securities' research report states that cryptocurrencies have good privacy and anti-inflation properties, have grown rapidly since their inception, and are gradually being formalized into assets. As the demand for cryptocurrencies expands, a rigid demand similar to gold is formed, supporting speculative pricing patterns.
However, in the short term, due to insufficient monetization and high risk appetite among marginal price setters, cryptocurrencies are even more speculative. In the medium to long term, it is expected that both cryptocurrencies and gold will benefit from the monetization brought by de-globalization and de-dollarization. "Future gold" does not necessarily include Bitcoin, but it is highly likely to include cryptocurrencies. In the short term, cryptocurrencies are expected to benefit from potential regulatory easing during Trump's term, but certainty in trade and foreign policy is needed.
Nasdaq applies to the US SEC to add XRP, SOL, ADA, XLM to the cryptocurrency index
According to Cryptotimes reports, Nasdaq submitted a rule change application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 7, planning to include XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Stellar Lumens (XLM) in its cryptocurrency index benchmark. This adjustment involves the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF (NCIQ), intending to expand its tracking targets from the original Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index (NCIUS) to cover 9 tokens in the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI).
Currently, the NCI index includes 9 cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), but due to the SEC's current regulations, the ETF can only hold BTC and ETH, leading to tracking error risks. If approved, the ETF will be able to invest in all index component assets, with the final decision expected to be made by November 2, 2025. This move could push the US crypto ETF towards diversification.
