ICP is divided with Binance Futures

Apparently, Binance realized that the "innovative platform of the future" will soon be zeroed out, just like LUNA, so they promptly cut off our ability to short the coin and earn on the fall.

The delisting will take place on June 9. Obviously, small exchanges will follow the example of Binance, and soon it will be extremely difficult to buy our ICP. (I'm not talking about selling).

Notably, that ICP is one of coins, on which you couldn't earn by grandfather's methods of hodl.

ICP began to trade at the level of $680, now its price is $6.75.

Miners hold 1.8 million BTC in their wallets

Bitcoin miners keep accumulating significant amounts: they currently own 1.8 million BTC, as evidenced by Glassnode's data.

On average, they sell about 3.3 thousand BTC per month, a small fraction of the total revenue.

And while lots of miners are holding out in anticipation of higher and better prices, that's not always a good sign.

Large inventories of bitcoins in wallets can put a lot of pressure on sellers and keep the price from going higher in the event of a recovery.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Annual U.S. inflation accelerated to 8.6% in May, the highest since December 1981 (8.3% was expected). Monthly inflation was 1%, against a forecast of 0.7%.

"These hands didn't steal anything"

Do Kwon's catchphrase lately☝🏻

If you recall, the head of Terraform Labs was accused of taking more than 2.7 billion UST out of Terra in a matter of months.
The FatMan analyst stated this, backed up by the Degenbox $UST-$MIM strategy on the Abracadabra platform and some rather interesting facts. After which you feel like saying "coincidence...?"

In response, Do Kwon, of course, denied all the accusations. He stated that his only income for the last two years was a "nominal cash salary" at Terraform Labs. According to him, he delayed receiving more of the "founder's tokens" because he didn't need them.
🧬 Jack Dorsey announced "Web5," a decentralized web platform built on the Bitcoin blockchain.
