While Trump’s budget did not tackle any crypto issues, the liquidity boost might still be a boon for crypto assets. “Big Beautiful Bill” may still boost crypto markets, despite lacking any crypto-related provisions. On Thursday, June 3, theU.S. House passed House Resolution 1, the landmark budget bill backed by President Donald Trump. The massive budget, which expands tax cuts and reduces benefits, passed with a narrow 218–214 vote, with just two Republican dissenters: fiscally conservative Thomas Massie of Kentucky and anti-Trump Republican Brian Fitzpatrick. Massie objected on the grounds that the bill would significantly add to the U.S. deficit. Despite…

Dogecoin slips 4.5% in June 2025, reinforcing its long-running trend as the memecoin’s worst-performing month. In the cryptocurrency market, few tokens have garnered as much notoriety as Dogecoin. Not only did Dogecoin create an entire genre of memecoins, but it also led the way in that domain for some time.

As ADA stalls under $3, LILPEPE races ahead with Layer 2 utility and under-$0.002 pricing that could explode in this bull run. ADA hit $3 back in 2021, but it’s been stuck in slow motion ever since.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price is inching toward a major high time frame resistance level that has historically dictated market tops and key reversals. This dynamic resistance, in play since April 2021, is once again being tested after two significant rejections over the past few years. With price action now pushing toward the $120,000 zone, the next several weeks could define whether BTC breaks into new all-time highs or retraces back into its established macro…
In June, crypto markets rose modestly, but stablecoins were the big winners, according to a report by Binance Research. Markets remained bullish but volatile throughout the month, while stablecoins became a focal point. On Thursday, July 3, Binance Research published a report outlining key trends from the past month.
