Stay up-to-date with the latest edition of GoMarket Weekly! Our trusted crypto expert Mike Ermolaev breaks down the recent developments in the cryptocurrency world, beginning with Bitcoin's consolidation phase, and moving on to Ethereum's bold ambitions, regulatory developments, and mining trends.

🔔 Bitcoin’s Consolidation and ETF Outflows 🔔 Bitcoin has been trading in the $64,258-$67,099 price range this week, undergoing a consolidation phase, driven by selling from miners, whales, and long-term holders. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw significant weekly net outflows of almost $600 million. Despite this, Bitcoin remains profitable for investors, maintaining an equilibrium in the market.

🚀 Ethereum’s Resilience and ETF Anticipation 🚀 Ethereum has been fluctuating between $3,384 and $3,632, showing strength after the SEC dropped its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas predicts ETH ETFs might launch on July 2nd, potentially pushing prices above $4,000 with sights on $4,800.

🏛️ Global Regulatory Updates 🏛️ The EU’s new MiCA regulations for stablecoins take effect on June 30, imposing stricter standards. South Korea will implement its first virtual asset user protection law on July 19, affecting 29 exchanges. Meanwhile, VanEck launches a Bitcoin ETF on Australia’s main stock exchange.

💡 Bitcoin Miners Maintain Profitability 💡 US-listed Bitcoin miners have reached a market cap of $22.8 billion, driven by a rising hashrate and AI opportunities, despite a decline in miner reserves to their lowest in 14 years. Miner reserves in USD remain at high levels at around $117.8 billion.

🎓 GoMining Academy: Debunking Bitcoin Myths

Today, we’re tackling some of the most common myths about Bitcoin. Let's dive in and set the record straight.

🔍 Myth 1: Bitcoin is Harmful to the Environment
There's a misconception that Bitcoin mining is excessively harmful to the environment due to its energy consumption. While it is true that Bitcoin mining uses significant energy, it's important to compare it with traditional financial systems. Research shows that the energy consumption of data centers for the top 100 global banks is more than double that of the Bitcoin network. Moreover, the industry is increasingly turning to renewable energy sources.

🔍 Myth 2: Bitcoin is Too Complicated for Regular Users
Bitcoin is often seen as a technology reserved for tech enthusiasts. However, the reality is that the user interfaces of Bitcoin wallets and exchanges have greatly improved. Today, many user-friendly products and guides are available, making Bitcoin accessible to people with various levels of technical expertise.

🔍 Myth 3: Bitcoin’s Volatility Makes It Unusable as a Currency
Bitcoin's price volatility is frequently cited as a drawback. While Bitcoin has experienced significant price swings, its volatility is gradually decreasing as the market matures and institutional adoption increases. For those seeking stability, stablecoins pegged to traditional currencies offer a less volatile option while still leveraging blockchain technology.

We'll continue debunking more myths in future posts. Share in the comments which other Bitcoin myths you'd like us to address!

🔗 Keith Gill — also known as "Roaring Kitty" — has become a hero of the people, but he is also a menace to stable markets, with his actions surrounding GameStop.

🔗 The real security challenge often lies not in the length of the seed phrase but in how users store and protect it, discussing whether 24-word Bitcoin seed phrases offer better security than 12 words.

🔗 We know Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with SEC head Gary Gensler, but questions remain about his plans for the SEC should he return to the White House.

🔗 Pantera believes the blockchain sector will converge around a few key networks and Solana's integrated approach is poised to capture a significant share of this consolidation, comparing Solana's potential dominance to Apple's success with macOS.

Bitcoin price is in a bullish recovery mode, with bears getting exhausted, a more imminent rally might be ahead for the coin.

Today we'll cover: Bitcoin is losing ground against the stock market, the Japanese yen is taking a dive against the U.S. dollar, and not all regions are equal when facing inflation.

Bitcoin faces a key weekly close as BTC price indicators keep bulls' hopes alive when it comes to new all-time highs.

-Security Incidents and Scams

A MakerDAO governance delegate fell victim to a sophisticated phishing attack, resulting in the loss of $11 million and led to a 7% drop in MKR's price.

Rapper 50 Cent informed his 32.8 million Instagram followers that hackers used his X account to carry out a multimillion-dollar memecoin rug pull.

The Turkish cryptocurrency exchange BtcTurk said on Saturday that a cyberattack affected the funds held in ten of its hot wallets, though the exchange claimed the vast majority of its crypto, which is stored in cold wallets, remains secure.

-Regulatory Actions and Investigations

Worldcoin - the crypto "proof of personhood" startup - has been given the green light to resume iris-scanning and other operations in Kenya after a year-long government probe over privacy concerns was dropped.

U.S. lawmakers have made a visit to Kuje Prison in Nigeria, where detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan is being held.

The watchdog said that criminal organizations are increasingly using crypto to conduct their illicit activity, especially in the fentanyl supply chains, but this also creates new "opportunities" for detection.

📲Manual BTC reward withdrawals now available!🚀

Hey there! 👋

Part of our mission is to provide you with greater flexibility and control over your Bitcoin rewards. Well, we're back with more opportunities!

🔎Before

Your mining Bitcoin rewards could only be withdrawn through auto-withdrawal. This happened when you reached the minimum threshold of 10,000 satoshis set in the rewards settings and the service covered the transfer fee for auto-withdrawal.

We’ve made some changes! 👀📢

Manual Withdrawals

📍You can now manually withdraw your mining BTC rewards at any time with a fixed fee of 2,000 satoshis per transaction (depends on the blockchain you use).
📍The minimum withdrawal amount is 1,000 satoshis, so you’ll need at least 3,000 satoshis in your wallet.
📍The manual withdrawal function will withdraw the entire BTC balance accumulated in your virtual balance and it is impossible to withdraw only a part of it.

Auto-Withdrawals

0️⃣We’re still keeping our auto-withdrawal option, offering you zero transfer fees and a minimum withdrawal threshold of 10,000 satoshis.

⚠️Important Security Note

Manual withdrawals offer flexibility, but small withdrawals might be seen as dust attacks by your wallets, which can compromise the safety of your funds. To avoid this, we recommend using an exchange wallet.

🔎 #MiningTrends: Deutsche Telekom Ventures Into Bitcoin Mining

In a groundbreaking move, Deutsche Telekom, Europe's largest telecom provider and parent of T-Mobile, has announced its entry into the bitcoin mining industry. Revealed at the conference BTC Prague, Dirk Röder, head of Web3 infrastructure at Deutsche Telekom's subsidiary T-Systems MMS, shared the company's plans to not only mine Bitcoin but also innovate the process.

🎓 GoMining Academy: Debunking Bitcoin Myths Part 2

Continuing our journey to dispel common myths about Bitcoin, let's dive into three more misconceptions and set the record straight.

🔍 Myth 4: Bitcoin Lacks Real Value
Some argue that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value, seeing it as purely speculative. However, Bitcoin’s value comes from its decentralized nature, borderless functionality, limited supply, and resistance to censorship. These characteristics make it a valuable asset and potential store of value, increasingly recognized by both individuals and institutions.

🔍 Myth 5: Bitcoin Is Only for Wealthy Investors
There is a belief that Bitcoin investment requires large sums of money, deterring average investors. In truth, Bitcoin is highly divisible, allowing people to buy even small fractions. This makes it accessible to investors of all budgets, with user-friendly exchanges simplifying the process.

🔍 Myth 6: Bitcoin Is Just a Fad
Some think Bitcoin is a temporary trend driven by hype. However, its longevity of over a decade and increasing institutional adoption suggest otherwise. The continuous development of blockchain technology and integration into traditional finance indicate that Bitcoin has long-term staying power.

We'll continue debunking more myths in future posts. Let us know in the comments which other Bitcoin myths you’d like us to address next!
