• US government moved 3,940 Bitcoin (BTC), which was worth over $241 million at the time, to Coinbase.
• This comes amid another sell-off by the German government, which has sold BTC since last week.
• Bitcoin price slipped 1.6% after the news, trading below $61k.

The latest crypto news is that the US government has moved 3,940 bitcoins worth over $241 million onto crypto exchange Coinbase.

Specifically, Lookonchain noted that US government-linked wallets had deposited the BTC into Coinbase Prime. Per the blockchain analytics account, the said wallets still hold 213,546 BTC currently worth over $13 billion.

According to blockchain security firm Arkham, the 3,940 bitcoins the US sent to Coinbase was originally seized from Banmeet Singh, an Indian narcotics trafficker. Singh forfeited the BTC in January this year after pleading guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering charges.

Germany, US selling Bitcoin

The news saw Bitcoin price slip below $61k again, shedding about 1.6% of its value to reach lows of $60,822. With the market still largely in downward momentum, its likely BTC could extend losses as the market reacts. 

Notably, the US government’s BTC transfer to a crypto exchange, probably to sell, comes amid a selling spree by wallets linked to the German government.

Earlier in the day, Lookonchain shared on-chain data that showed the German government’s wallets moved 750 bitcoins worth over $46 million to Bitstamp and Kraken exchanges. These transfers on Wednesday followed the more than 2150 BTC the said wallets had already sent to exchanges.

While the US government reportedly holds $13 billion more of BTC, today’s sales sees Germany remain with 45,609 BTC worth $2.81 billion.

• Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says Ethereum ETPs could see $15 billion in net flows in the first 18 months.
• Hougan suggests that a comparison with Bitcoin puts Ether ETFs net inflows at this AUM by end of 2025

The Ethereum spot ETFs are a matter of when, not if, in terms of their trading debut.

Ahead of the SEC’s approval for trading – analysts say it could be next week – Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan has shared a bullish project on potential net inflows.

Bitwise CIO says Ethereum ETFs to see $15 billion in net inflows in 18 months

According to Hougan, the Ethereum ETPs market is set to attract net inflows of $15 billion in the first 18 months.

On how this pans out, the Bitwise CIO shares a scenario comparing the market size of Bitcoin and Ethereum. In this case, BTC currently accounts for 74% of the market share at $1.2 trillion while Ether is at 26% with $400 billion.

“Absent other information, I’d expect investors to allocate to BTC and ETH ETPs roughly in-line with their market caps,” Hougan wrote in a report.

Hougan also noted that US investors have poured about $56 billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs so far and this number could reach $100 billion by the end of 2025. In that case, the debut of Ether spot ETFs would mean an injection of $35 billion in assets for them to reach a comparative level of adoption.

“Using this $100 billion figure as a reference, spot Ethereum ETPs would need to attract $35 billion in assets to reach parity, a process I expect will take about 18 months,” he wrote.

BTC, ETH prices

Spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January this year, sparking massive demand as new investors sought exposure to the benchmark cryptocurrency. BTC price rose as this and other factors buoyed sentiment to reach the all-time high above $73,000.

Ether also surged to above $4,000, although both coins are back to support levels around $61k and $3.3k respectively.

Despite the bearish flip, analysts are bullish on the two cryptocurrencies, including Standard Chartered who see BTC reaching $250,000 by end of 2025. SEC’s reported ending of probe into Ethereum 2.0 also lifted the Ether market.

• MAGA Hat (MAGA) traded at $0.0003611, more than 20% up in the past 24 hours.
• Donald Tremp (TREMP) was changing hands at $0.7933, more than 18% up over the sale time frame.
• President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump will face off in the first debate on Thursday.

MAGA Hat (MAGA) and Donald Tremp (TREMP) are among the top gainers in the PolitiFi meme coins market today.

As well as Trump Mania (TMANIA), these meme coins have soared double digits each in the past 24 hours, outpacing the likes of Constitution DAO, TRUMP and BODEN.

MAGA and TREMP tokens soar

MAGA Hat currently trades around $0.0003611, about 20.5% in the past 24 hours and 49% this past week. Meanwhile, TREMP is changing hands around $0.7933, more than 18% in the past 24 hours and 13% over last week.

The gains are part of the overall bounce for PolitiFi tokens ahead of the US presidential candidate’s debate.

Anticipation around the event and the upcoming election has the sector poised for a possible explosion – with meme coins inspired by former president Donald Trump accounting for most of the top 10 political meme coins.

CoinGecko data in fact shows that there’s only one crypto meme coin on President Joe Biden in the top 10 of PolitiFi tokens as of writing – Jeo Boden (BODEN).

These tokens could collectively see some increased volatility in the week and after the first public debate set for June 27. Trump’s increased crypto-friendly stance contrasts sharply with the Biden administration’s approach over the past years.

Despite recent actions that suggest a crypto shift for the incumbent, including the rehiring of a former crypto advisor, it’s largely been Trump making headway as a crypto champion. The Republican party candidate’s campaign has received crypto donations, holds crypto and has pledged to “end Biden’s war on crypto.”

The televised debate will air on Thursday.

• Smidge (SMIDGE) plunges 71% in 24 hours, reflecting volatile meme token risks.
• Solciety (SLCTY) presale nears $500K, attracting crypto influencers with its staged pricing presale.
• Solciety merges politics with memes on Solana, fostering community and creativity.

Smidge (SMIDGE) meme coin price has seen a massive plunge sending investors into panic mode looking for alternative options.

Amid the SMIDGE decline, the new Solana-based meme coin Solciety (SLCTY) is making waves after launching its presale on June18.

Smidge (SMIDGE) price plunges by over 71%

Smidge (SMIDGE), a token associated with the 5th generation of the frog kingdom and known for its popularity on platforms like 4chan and Reddit, has seen a drastic decline in its market value.

From an all-time high of $0.0008874 just a day ago, Smidge has plummeted to $0.0001732, marking a staggering decrease of 71.25% in a single day.

Despite its initial popularity and viral status, Smidge’s recent performance highlights the unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market, leaving investors wary and seeking more stable alternatives.

This volatility underscores the risks inherent in investing in meme-inspired tokens, where sentiment and market dynamics can lead to rapid price swings.

Solciety (SLCTY) presale gains momentum as it approaches $500K

In stark contrast to Smidge’s downturn, Solciety (SLCTY) has been making waves with its presale, successfully raising over $300,000 within the first 48 hours and approaching the half-million-dollar mark within a week of its launch.

Positioned as a pioneering project within the PolitiFi meme coin industry, Solciety aims to blend political engagement with meme culture, catering to a diverse audience of crypto enthusiasts and meme creators alike.

The Solciety presale offers early adopters the opportunity to purchase SLCTY tokens at progressively increasing prices, incentivizing early participation while rewarding supporters.

With a total supply of 3 billion SLCTY tokens available for distribution this month, the presale employs a smart contract mechanism to adjust token prices every 72 hours.

Starting at $0.000963 per token and currently priced at $0.001967 in Stage 3 of 10 planned stages, Solciety’s strategic pricing strategy aims to balance accessibility for investors with sustainability for the project’s long-term growth.

Solciety’s appeal lies not only in its innovative approach to combining politics and meme creation but also in its utilization of the Solana blockchain.

Leveraging Solana’s high-speed transactions and low fees compared to Ethereum, Solciety provides a robust platform for decentralized governance and creative expression through its Meme Campaigner tool. This platform empowers users to generate and customize memes, fostering community engagement and content creation.

Moreover, Solciety has garnered attention from prominent figures within the crypto community, including influencers like Solciety, ALTCOIN-BEAR, The PEPE ARMY, ShibArmy1000x, and BscGems1000x.

These endorsement underscores the project’s potential to resonate with a wide audience interested in both cryptocurrency investments and meme culture.

Conclusion

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve and adapt, projects like Solciety exemplify the intersection of technology, creativity, and community engagement. With its presale gaining momentum and demonstrating substantial fundraising success, Solciety positions itself as a promising contender in the competitive landscape of meme-inspired tokens.

Investors, drawn by the potential for both financial gains and active participation in a novel ecosystem, are increasingly turning to Solciety as a beacon of innovation and opportunity amidst market uncertainties.
