BTC and ETH may see the largest weekly decline since the FTX collapse, with the cryptocurrency market cap evaporating by $390 billion

According to CoinDesk, in a brutal week for the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin fell 17.3% this week, and Ethereum dropped 22%, with both assets potentially recording their largest weekly declines since November 2022. Additionally, data from TradingView shows that the digital asset market lost about $390 billion in market value this week, hovering above a total market cap of $2 trillion. This is less than half of the nearly $4.2 trillion peak reached in October.The impact was not only on prices. According to CoinGlass data, leveraged positions in digital assets were liquidated this week, totaling about $7 billion, with the most severe sell-offs occurring on Monday and Friday. Approximately $5.7 billion of these positions were long positions. This decline is the result of multiple bearish factors acting simultaneously. Earlier this week, Strategy disclosed that it sold Bitcoin for the first time in nearly four years. This transaction was small, only 32 Bitcoins, worth about $2.5 million. However, this sale unsettled investors who had viewed Michael Saylor's company as a continuous source of demand. Investors also began to question whether Strategy needed to sell more Bitcoin to pay off debts related to its growing preferred stock.Meanwhile, the asset size of Bitcoin ETFs continues to shrink. Vetle Lunde, head of K33 Research, pointed out earlier this week that part of the outflow of funds reflects a broader trend of capital shifting from cryptocurrencies to AI investments. Concerns about AI potentially exposing flaws in cryptocurrency protocols have also intensified this pressure. Zcash (ZEC) was one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies earlier this year, but its price plummeted over 40% after researchers discovered a critical vulnerability in the network's privacy system using Anthropic's latest AI model.The final blow came from a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report on Friday, forcing investors to rethink the Federal Reserve's next moves. Earlier this year, the market had anticipated that the central bank would cut interest rates, but now there is increasing expectation that if inflation remains high, the central bank may raise rates. U.S. Treasury yields soared, and the Nasdaq 100 index experienced its worst day since the sell-off triggered by tariffs in April 2025, ending a previously record-setting rally that had been a major source of optimism on Wall Street this year.

Nearly four years after Do Kwon was imprisoned, there are still community members steadfastly supporting Terra Luna Classic and looking forward to an "epic revival."

According to Decrypt, although Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for causing the collapse of Terra, which resulted in approximately $40 billion in losses, the abandoned original chain Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) has not disappeared. A group of community members continues to maintain the network, hoping to achieve one of the greatest revivals in the history of the cryptocurrency industry.The report states that a core community member known by the pseudonym "Vegas" lost about $50,000 during the Terra collapse and has since been involved in operating validation nodes, governance proposals, and developer coordination. He expressed that despite facing long-term internal power struggles and fraud accusations, and even being maliciously reported to the authorities, he still believes LUNC has the potential to return to the top ten in the cryptocurrency industry.After the Terra collapse in 2022, Terraform Labs launched a new chain, Terra, through a hard fork, while the original chain was retained and renamed Terra Luna Classic. Subsequently, the community organization Terra Rebels took over the maintenance work and launched a series of proposals, including a 1.2% burn tax, in hopes of revitalizing the ecosystem. However, due to disputes over fund allocation and governance, Terra Rebels eventually disbanded, and several developers left one after another.Despite this, the community continues to advance the development of projects such as lending protocols, games, and meme coins, and attempts to restore the stablecoin peg mechanism. Data shows that LUNC has risen 17.3% in the past year, but has cumulatively fallen 28.7% since 2022, with a decline of 99.99% from its historical high of $119.Some community members stated that the shared trauma after the collapse has formed a bond similar to "family," and that price is no longer the only goal. "What if we could achieve one of the greatest comebacks in cryptocurrency history? It's like a last-ditch pass." said a community member.

After 14 years, Bitcoin addresses from the Satoshi Nakamoto era have shown activity, and some dormant wallets may still be controlled by their original owners

According to CoinDesk, an address from the "Satoshi era" that has never been used since March 2011, holding 35.55 bitcoins (approximately $2.54 million), made a transfer this week, which is seen as one of the first publicly visible responses from defendants in a lawsuit involving approximately 3.8 million bitcoins (valued at about $285 billion) in New York.On-chain data shows that the address transferred 15 BTC to a new address on June 2, keeping the remaining 20.55 BTC as change. The address initially received bitcoins on March 27, 2011, when the price of BTC was less than $1.In March of this year, a plaintiff using the pseudonym "Noah Doe" filed a lawsuit in New York state court alongside two LLCs from Wyoming, attempting to claim ownership of approximately 3.8 million long-dormant bitcoin wallets under New York's lost property law, positioning themselves as the "discoverer." The court approved sending on-chain notifications to the relevant wallets via the bitcoin OP_RETURN field.In July 2025, the advisory firm Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors sent dust transactions with links to legal notices to 39,000 wallets, including the aforementioned address, requesting holders to prove ownership within 90 days.Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Research, pointed out that the address corresponds to defendant number 38215 in the case, stating, "Clearly, these bitcoins have not actually been abandoned."Additionally, another address that had been dormant for 15 years, 1CDSyXAQxro4FPUoqAQb81642ruqDsUiNp, also transferred 20 BTC (approximately $1.48 million) on the same day, but this address did not appear on Noah Doe's list of lawsuits.Analysis suggests that the on-chain movements mentioned above indicate that some bitcoins from the Satoshi era, considered "abandoned assets," are actually still under the control of the original holders.
