Bitcoin crashes below $65K, sparking $1.86B liquidations
On June 3, Bitcoin slipped under the $65,000 psychological level, triggering a 12% weekly decline. The drop wiped out $1.86 billion in leveraged futures positions and coincided with Michael Saylor’s sale of 32 BTC worth about $2.5 million. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.97 billion of outflows over ten sessions, deepening market pressure.

Ethereum Needs Paradigm, VCs, Despite Value Extraction Concerns: Joseph Lubin
Ethereum co‑founder Joseph Lubin acknowledged that venture capital firms — including Paradigm — often seek to "extract" maximum value from the protocol, but argued they remain indispensable as conduits for global capital, expertise and infrastructure needed to scale the ecosystem. He framed VCs as a necessary trade‑off: their funding accelerates development and mainstream adoption even as it raises concerns about centralized control and value capture. The tension matters for governance and long‑term token economics, as how the community balances outside investment against decentralization will shape who ultimately captures Ethereum’s upside.
