boss

Citrini Research has singled out Hyperliquid’s HYPE token as a crypto asset with a cash-flow profile that separates it from what the firm calls the “memetic majority” of the market. In its June 2026 “State of the Themes” report, the research firm argued that HYPE’s fee-driven buyback structure, expanding Assistance Fund and emerging ETF narrative make Hyperliquid one of the more compelling crypto market-structure stories now reaching Wall Street’s radar. Hyperliquid Gains Wall Street Attention The core of Citrini’s thesis is straightforward: HYPE is not being framed merely as a…

Bitcoin price stalls near $64K before key U.S. inflation data

boss

Bitcoin recovered from last week’s fall toward $59,000 and briefly tested $64,156.  Summary Bitcoin holds above $62,000, but weak demand leaves the recovery vulnerable before key inflation data. An oversold RSI supports a relief bounce, while $64,200 remains the first major resistance level. Losing weekly support could expose $59,100, while some analysts see deeper downside toward $50,000 next. However, the rebound has not changed the wider downtrend. Bitcoin traded near $63,200 at the time of writing, according to crypto.news price data. The market now faces two tests. Traders want stronger…

Despite this, predictions continue…
