The Chinese-origin firms collectively control over 90% of global market share, and their move signals a major shift in crypto hardware supply chains.

Tron’s reverse merger will test whether a company can treat its own crypto as collateral without collapsing under the risk. Justin Sun’s Tron is about to challenge what Wall Street considers a legitimate corporate asset, and if it fails under pressure, the fallout could ripple far beyond the company itself. On June 16, toy maker SRM Entertainment announced it will rebrand as Tron Inc and adopt a treasury strategy centered on TRX TRX $0.2795 , the native cryptocurrency of the Tron blockchain. The move — widely defined as a reverse merger — is backed by a $100-million private investment, potentially rising to $210 million if warrants are fully exercised. Tron founder Sun will serve as an adviser. Tron’s strategy puts TRX to the test as a corporate reserve asset. While Bitcoin BTC $105,468 has gained traction on public balance sheets, TRX is more thinly traded, centrally controlled and closely tied to the company itself.TRX had an immediate 5% spike after the announcement. Source: CoinGecko Tron’s TRX strategy is riskier than Bitcoin treasuries In the first half of 2025, a growing number of publicly traded companies adopted cryptocurrencies in their treasuries. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) popularized the aggressive Bitcoin acquisition playbook that inspired global firms to follow suit in hopes of reversing the fortunes of its slumping shares. Now, companies are anchoring treasury plans around assets like Ether ETH $2,538 , Solana SOL $148.74 and XRP. But the shine is wearing off, as announcing a crypto treasury strategy is no longer a guaranteed path to a soaring stock price.“[Michael] Saylor has a lot of experience with structured products, being a listed company, financial legality and processes, a now long-standing process for crypto flows and a clear investor offering. A lot of these newer vehicles do not,” Justin d’Anethan, head of sales at token launch and distribution platform Liquifi, told Cointelegraph. “While I can’t say they’ll necessarily mess up, there’s just an implied higher risk,” he added. Sun’s plan stands apart from other crypto treasuries. If realized, Tron Inc would become the first US company to hold its own blockchain’s native token as a corporate reserve. Jamie Elkaleh, marketing chief at Bitget Wallet, told Cointelegraph:“The company is essentially holding its own equity-like asset as collateral. This is circular and risky.”“If confidence in Tron Inc falters, TRX may drop, which then tanks Tron Inc’s perceived value even further,” he added, highlighting a feedback loop. Tron and SRM Entertainment did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request to comment.TRX is one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. As of June 17, it ranks eighth with $26.2 billion. But unlike Bitcoin, TRX lacks comparable institutional demand and trades with much lower volume, CoinGecko data shows. Despite Tron’s announcement, TRX recorded a 24-hour trading volume of just $1.75 billion as of June 17 — far below Bitcoin’s $34.3 billion and trailing other treasury coins like XRP and Solana. But Tron is far from a ghost chain and boasts one of the most active ecosystems in the industry. “To be fair, Tron’s been around and plays a major role in stablecoin flows, so there’s real activity under the hood,” d’Anethan said.TRX launched on Ethereum in August 2017 and migrated to its own blockchain in June 2018. It has weathered multiple bear markets and grown into the second-largest network for stablecoins, with the largest circulation footprint of Tether’s USDt USDT $1.00 in the world.Tron trails Ethereum in stablecoin market cap but leads all networks in USDT circulation.

🧠MemeStrategy—founded by 9GAG’s creator—just grabbed $2,440 SOL for $369K, becoming Hong Kong’s first public company to buy Solana. 🚀Shares pumped 28.5% right after. Next day? Still climbing. 🔒They’re staking the SOL too—showing they're not just in it for the clout. 🧩The firm sees Solana powering real-world asset tokenization and AI x Web3 plays. 📊Even analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald are bullish on SOL’s financial future. One small bag for a firm, one giant leap for Solana kind.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent projected the stablecoin market could reach $3.7tr by 2030, adding that the Act’s passage may boost private demand for U.S. Treasuries, lower borrowing costs, and expand global access to dollar-based digital assets.

Here we go again—another public company is turning itself into a crypto treasury play. Eyenovia, previously a digital ophthalmology firm listed on Nasdaq, just announced it’s rebranding to Hyperion DeFi, raising $50 million in PIPE financing to build a reserve of HYPE, the native token of Hyperliquid. They’ve got plans to become a major validator and may raise up to $150 million total. Even the ticker’s changing—from EYEN to HYPD. It’s a bold pivot. But also, we’ve seen this before—MicroStrategy with BTC, now a wave of companies trying to do the same with SOL, ETH, and now even newer tokens like HYPE. The difference this time? We’re talking about a DeFi-native token with concentrated on-chain activity and experimental governance, not a universally accepted store of value (yet). So the big question: Is building a token treasury really a long-term strategy—or just a momentum bet in disguise? Sure, it can attract hype (no pun intended), drive the stock price, and build attention. But the risks are massive: price volatility, liquidity cliffs, and the fact that HYPE isn’t exactly BTC in terms of institutional trust. Still, it’s part of a growing trend. Everyone wants to become a “crypto-native reserve entity” now. But only time will tell if this is true conviction—or just another wave of speculative corporate branding.

The U.S. Senate just passed the GENIUS Stablecoin Act with a strong bipartisan vote (68–30), marking a historic step toward real crypto regulation. It’s the first time a comprehensive framework for stablecoins has cleared the Senate—and it’s now heading to the House for review. Whether you're pro-crypto or just pro-clarity, this is huge. Even the Treasury is cheering it on. Treasury Secretary Bessent called it a “three-win scenario”—private sector gets growth, Treasury gets more buyers for U.S. debt (since stablecoins are backed by Treasuries), and consumers get access to dollar-backed digital finance. That’s not just bullish—it’s a full green light from the highest levels of government. So now the big question: if stablecoins are about to go mainstream, what tokens do we even invest in? USDT and USDC dominate, but they’re not really "investable" in the traditional sense. Projects like FDUSD, PYUSD, GHO, or USDe (Ethena) are all building unique models, but they're still early. Then there are plays like Curve, Maker, or even Layer 1s that host major stablecoin flows—SOL, ETH, BASE. The opportunity feels massive. But it’s not just about picking the next big stablecoin—it's about identifying the infrastructure around stablecoins: protocols that issue, settle, and move these assets globally.

The company’s shares were temporarily halted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSEAM) in April after its stock price fell below ten cents per share. Can Bitcoin Save DDC? Firm Raises $528M After 4-Year Losing Streak A little-known Asian food company named DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSEAM: DDC) or “DayDayCook” has raised $528 million to buy bitcoin ( BTC), according to a Tuesday press release. All this after losing money for at least four years in a row, culminating in a temporary trading suspension in early April, after the firm’s stock tumbled below ten cents. Norma Chu, founder, chair, and CEO of DDC says she launched the company in 2012 because of her passion for food and cooking. The Hong Kong native and Seattle, Washington resident eventually took the company public on the New York Stock Exchange American (NYSEAM) in November 2023. But based on the firm’s financials, things never really went as planned. DDC bled money for at least four years in a row. At some point in 2024, the NYSE threatened to delist the company’s stock for failing to file its 2023 financials on time. DDC was able to obtain an extension and eventually filed the required documents, only to have trading of its stock temporarily halted in early April 2025 after a market selloff saw its share price decline by almost 95%. DDC’s stock nosedived below ten cents after having debuted at $212.50 in November 2023. But Chu wasn’t going down without a fight. She organized a reverse 1:25 stock split where 25 DDC shares were combined into one, for all outstanding shares, resulting in less stock, but now priced just high enough to sustain trading. “Last Friday, amid a broad market selloff and trading below $0.10 per share, the NYSE-American halted trading of our shares,” Chu wrote in a letter to shareholders. “The board unanimously approved the previously shareholder ratified 1:25 reverse stock split…This action is designed to elevate our share price to a more acceptable trading range.”

PRESS RELEASE. House of Streams, a new reality 9-part series that blends live-streaming culture with traditional formats, will debut on Netflix in the UK and Ireland on June 18. Filmed entirely in Malta and produced and funded by Stream House Media Productions (SHriMP.co), the series introduces a novel approach to audience engagement and reality storytelling—one that reflects the shift in both media consumption and digital culture. The show brings together eight prominent streamers from across the globe, including the U.S., Ireland, The Netherlands, UK, and Australia with a devout following on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Over the course of 15 days, the streamers lived together in a Mediterranean villa, competing in challenges designed to test their gaming skills, adaptability, and audience engagement. The winner receives a prize of one Bitcoin, adding a unique twist to the show’s premise. At the start of filming, the cryptocurrency was valued around $16,000. As the premiere approaches, that figure has risen to over $100,000—a creative hook that has given the show unprecedented exposure within the crypto world which has drawn considerable attention in the press. Hosted by Sky Sports and Esports broadcaster Nicole Holliday, House of Streams stands out not only for its prize structure but also for its unique concepts and formats. Audience members were able to interact with contestants in real time via chat, helping shape the narrative as it unfolded. According to show creator Mark Holland, this level of interactivity reflects how live-streaming is transforming the boundaries of viewer participation in entertainment. “Chat was central to steering the show and was a big influence behind the scenes,” said Mark Holland, the producer of “House of Streams”. The audience had real-time interaction with the cast and played a crucial part in directing and presiding over the show’s outcome. That creates a new narrative and creates a different kind of pressure for the contestants, who are already used to live online scrutiny. The production was supported by Screen Malta (Malta Film Commission) and marks the first Malta-based show to be licensed by Netflix. The series was shot using a live, around-the-clock format, with a lean production crew and a creative team who, against all odds and with a very tight budget, pulled off a Netflix deal that was negotiated by UK-based Camelot Films. Although the inclusion of a Bitcoin prize has stirred discussion—particularly given the recent surge in cryptocurrency prices—the show’s producer has emphasized that the decision was primarily creative and that Bitcoin hitting all-time highs is purely coincidental. Everything about House of Streams is different and designed to reflect the era of the digital streaming age. “Offering a digital asset as a prize was part of that design,” said Holland. The show arrives amid a broader cultural conversation about the influence of online creators and the convergence between streaming platforms and mainstream television. With over 4 million followers, the participating streamers bring an established audience and diverse fan bases to the series, which the producers hope will help bridge the gap between digital-first content and more traditional TV formats. House of Streams is set to stream from midnight of June 18 on Netflix in the UK and Ireland. Discussions about potential international distribution and a second season are ongoing.

🚨CoinShares just filed for a spot Solana ETF with the SEC—aiming to list it on Nasdaq. 📈The ETF would track SOL’s price via the CME CF Solana–Dollar Reference Rate, offering direct exposure. 🔐Assets will be held in cold storage by Coinbase Custody and BitGo—with some staked for rewards. 🧠Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas pegs approval odds at 70%, but warns of delays. 💼Another big name entering the SOL ETF race... Institutions clearly smell something cooking.

"I used to hide when my mother came to sweep my classroom." "Now, I stand here proudly — because her broom gave me wings." They mocked her. They laughed at her shoes. But years later, she walked back into the same school — And handed out scholarships in her mother’s name. Her Mother Was the School Janitor — 25 Years Later, She Was Invited as Guest Speaker… and Did Something That Made Even the Principal Weep Written by Rosyworld CRN 1999. Jos, Nigeria. Mama Nnenna worked as a janitor at St. Bridget’s Secondary School. She swept classrooms, scrubbed toilets, and mopped the staff room — always with a soft smile and tattered shoes. Her daughter, Nnenna, attended the school on a staff-child discount. Smart. Quiet. Always top of her class. But always ashamed. Her classmates made jokes: “Here comes Madam Mop.” “Your mummy missed the corner. Go clean it for her.” Sometimes, Nnenna would hide in the toilet while her mother cleaned her class. One day, she told her mother: “Please don’t sweep while I’m in class.” Mama Nnenna looked at her and replied gently: “Then I’ll sweep earlier. But I’ll still sweep with pride.” Nnenna endured. She kept reading. Studied at night while her mother snored beside the mop bucket. Got a scholarship abroad. Studied law. Excelled. Became a human rights lawyer. Founded her own firm. In 2024, St. Bridget’s hosted its 60th Anniversary Celebration. The school needed a keynote speaker. Someone inspirational. Someone successful. They reached out to Barrister Nnenna O. Agu — not knowing her history. She accepted. On the day of the event, she walked onto the stage in heels and a power suit. The crowd clapped. But then she said: “Before I speak… I want to show you the person who truly earned this invitation.” She turned and unveiled a framed photo. Her mother. Holding a mop. Gasps. Silence. Nnenna continued: “This woman swept shame off my name. She cleaned the very room that shaped my future. And while the world saw ‘just a janitor’ — I saw a queen in rubber slippers.” Tears flowed. She announced 10 full scholarships — in her mother’s name — for children of cleaners and drivers in the school. “Because sometimes, honour starts in the dust.” She didn’t hide her past anymore. She used it to build bridges. Because the girl they mocked for her mother’s uniform… Returned to honour that uniform with her voice

🇺🇸 The United States Senate will hold a vote on the GENIUS stablecoin bill at 1:30 PM tomorrow (Pacific Time), marking the final vote before the bill is sent to the House of Representatives. If passed in both chambers, the bill will be sent to President Trump's desk.

It’s official—Truth Social just filed an S-1 for a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF. Yep, you read that right. Trump’s media platform is now jumping straight into crypto finance with a dual-asset ETF called the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, B.T. After all the speculation and sideways moves, this is a pretty surreal moment. The same platform that once leaned into meme stock territory is now going full force into Bitcoin + Ethereum exposure. Whatever you think of Truth Social, this filing means one thing: crypto ETFs are no longer just a Wall Street game. And honestly? Yes—it’s finally here. A Trump-linked ETF tied to BTC and ETH is one of the wildest timelines we could’ve imagined a couple of years ago, but here we are. The convergence of politics, media, and crypto just got real. Let’s see how the SEC handles this one. Buckle up.

Bank of America now places bitcoin among the most disruptive forces in a millennium, signaling Wall Street’s awakening to its historic role in reshaping global financial power. 1,000 Years of Disruption: Bank of America Ranks Bitcoin Among Humanity’s Greatest Innovations Bank of America (BofA) Global Research released a long-term chart outlining 1,000 years of technological disruption, highlighting bitcoin as one of the most consequential innovations in recent history. The chart, derived from BofA Global Investment Strategy and Global Financial Data, tracks key breakthroughs—from the printing press to quantum computing—and maps them against global population growth. Bitcoin appears near the steepest part of the curve, signifying its impact during a time of rapid technological acceleration. Among a dense cluster of 21st-century developments, bitcoin stands out for its challenge to traditional financial systems. Since its inception, bitcoin has introduced a decentralized alternative to government-issued currencies and sparked a rapidly growing digital asset industry. Placed alongside the World Wide Web, microprocessor, and electric vehicles, bitcoin is framed as a systemic innovation—not merely a speculative asset. Its ability to facilitate peer-to-peer value exchange without intermediaries positions it as a foundational shift in monetary architecture. While Bank of America has not yet enabled direct bitcoin purchases through its platform, CEO Brian Moynihan has indicated that the banking institution is ready to incorporate cryptocurrency payments into its services once regulations are clarified to ensure safety and legitimacy. At the World Economic Forum in January, the executive stated: These efforts mirror a broader institutional pivot toward digital assets, bolstered by a pro-crypto regulatory environment under the Trump administration.
