Bithumb is once again embroiled in regulatory turmoil, as South Korean police investigate allegations of lawmakers interfering in hiring practices

According to Cointelegraph, South Korean police recently raided the cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb to investigate independent lawmaker Kim Byung-gi for allegedly using his influence to secure a job for his son. It is reported that Kim's son joined Bithumb in January 2025 and worked for about six months. The police are investigating whether there was any external pressure or special treatment during his hiring process.Additionally, the case also involves Dunamu, the operator of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, with the investigation scope expanding from simple recruitment issues to potential power rent-seeking and interest transfer. Investigators pointed out that while serving as a member of the South Korean National Assembly's Administrative Committee, Kim Byung-gi had repeatedly questioned Dunamu during meetings, raising suspicions about whether he was trying to benefit the company where his son worked.It is understood that the police had previously questioned executives from multiple cryptocurrency companies and had conducted searches at Bithumb's headquarters and Bithumb Financial Tower to gather evidence. Kim Byung-gi himself is under investigation for 13 charges, including employment arrangements, bribery for nominations, and requests related to university transfers, and he stated that he believes he will ultimately be able to prove his innocence.It is worth noting that Bithumb has recently faced ongoing regulatory pressure. In March of this year, South Korea's financial regulatory agency imposed a fine of approximately $24.5 million on Bithumb for KYC and anti-money laundering (AML) violations and issued a six-month partial business suspension order. However, a South Korean court temporarily suspended the enforcement of the penalty at the end of April, and the relevant legal procedures are still ongoing.

Data: Analysis suggests that the worst phase of Bitcoin may be nearing its end, with key on-chain indicators approaching historical bottom ranges

After experiencing a significant sell-off last week, an important on-chain metric for Bitcoin—MVRV Z-Score—is approaching the historical bear market bottom region, indicating that market prices are gradually aligning with on-chain realized value, and the worst phase of the decline may be nearing its end. Data shows that the current Bitcoin MVRV Z-Score is 0.24, close to the zero axis, which is historically regarded as the "green accumulation zone." During past bear markets in 2011-2012, 2014, 2018, and 2022, this metric bottomed out near zero or briefly dipped below zero before starting a new upward cycle.The MVRV Z-Score measures the deviation between Bitcoin's current market value and its realized value. When market prices are significantly above the realized value, it indicates that Bitcoin is relatively expensive; conversely, when prices are close to or below the realized value, it suggests that the market has entered an undervalued area. However, analysts believe that the market may not have formed an absolute bottom yet. On-chain data shows that the short-term holder MVRV (STH-MVRV) is currently at 0.84, while the long-term holder MVRV (LTH-MVRV) remains as high as 1.29, and neither has converged like during the bear market bottoms of 2015, 2019, and 2022. This indicates that long-term holders still retain significant unrealized profits, and the market may still need to undergo further adjustments to form a typical bear market bottom.However, after the cryptocurrency market evaporated hundreds of billions in market value last week, several historical signals indicating market recovery have begun to emerge.

Bitget's Chief Legal Officer issues an open letter, assisting users in recovering over 32.3 million dollars in fraud-related funds last year

Bitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng today released an open letter, announcing that Bitget has officially launched the 2026 Global Anti-Fraud Month campaign, themed "More Assets, Stronger Protection."In the letter, Hon Ng pointed out that as the platform expands from crypto assets to a multi-asset ecosystem, users face increasingly complex cybersecurity threats while enjoying broader market access. He emphasized that the multi-asset era means greater responsibility. User protection is not a one-time project but a continuous result of risk monitoring, rapid response, security education, and industry collaboration.The open letter also disclosed Bitget's security and anti-fraud achievements for 2025. Data shows that Bitget intercepted over 150 million malicious attack requests throughout the year, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IPs, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and assisted users in recovering approximately $32.3 million related to security incidents and fraudulent activities.In addition, Bitget's security system achieved over 2.8 billion risk interceptions through customized protection rules, defended against over 1.5 billion DDoS attack attempts, and introduced machine learning-based behavioral analysis capabilities to further identify suspicious activities and potential risks.

Morgan Stanley and Galaxy Digital have reached a partnership to recommend the transfer of crypto assets ETP, lowering the cooperation threshold to $5 million. Bitdeer produced 205.3 BTC this week and sold all of it to maintain a zero holding strategy

According to BBX data, last week the expansion of institutional crypto infrastructure and the differentiation of cash flow management models for mining companies were implemented simultaneously. The core dynamics are as follows:Morgan Stanley (NYSE: $MS) Wealth Management Department and Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: $GLXY) officially announced a recommended cooperation agreement on June 5: allowing Morgan Stanley's qualified high-net-worth clients to lend directly held BTC, ETH, or SOL to Galaxy Digital. After Galaxy, as an Authorized Participant (AP), completes the creation of physical shares, the corresponding spot crypto ETP shares (including Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, NYSE Arca: $MSBT) will be directly transferred to the client's brokerage account; the converted ETP shares can be used as collateral for account financing. Key parameters: Galaxy Digital has reduced the minimum trading threshold for Morgan Stanley's recommended clients from $25 million to $5 million, significantly expanding the coverage of qualified high-net-worth clients; traditional similar institutional trades usually take more than four weeks to complete, while the new mechanism can shorten the entire process by up to 75%. The legal basis for this cooperation is the SEC's approval of the physical conversion ETF mechanism for crypto assets in July 2025, allowing direct physical conversion between directly held crypto assets and spot crypto ETFs, with Morgan Stanley's $MSBT being one of the first beneficiary products.Bitdeer Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: $BTDR) reported that as of the week of June 5, 2026, Bitcoin mining output was 205.3 BTC, with the same amount sold, resulting in a net holding of 0 BTC, maintaining a current BTC position of zero, continuing the "output equals sale" cash flow management strategy; the proceeds from sales are used to support the R&D of its SEALMINER mining hardware product line and the expansion of hash power hosting services. Bitdeer's zero holding model sharply contrasts with mining companies like CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ: $CLSK) (holding approximately 13,561 BTC) and MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MARA) (holding approximately 35,303 BTC), which continue to accumulate Bitcoin, representing another financially rational path for mining companies during the BTC price downturn cycle—exchanging immediate liquidity for stable operational cash flow, avoiding the impact of single asset price fluctuations on the balance sheet.
