Data: Bitcoin Network Demand Score Drops to Pre-March Market Crash Lows as Plenty of Options Contracts Are Expiring
Due to the large number of contracts in the Bitcoin options market that will expire on June 26 (171,000 contracts, totaling approximately $1.6 billion), traders are now starting to build positions to reduce risk. One of the measures they take is to accumulate BTC and not trade it. This holding behavior by traders may be one of the reasons why Bitcoin’s on-chain fundamentals have taken a hit over the past week. The Network Demand Score fell to 2/6 this week, the lowest level since before the market crashed in early March, according to analytical data provider Arcane Research. (AMBCrypto)

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, said that high transfer fees may make the blockchain less useful than before, but he also revealed that Sparkpool had contacted him about this matter more than a month ago, and he opposed the decision to increase the gas limit. But the high fees for the past 6 weeks have brought real stress, so don't blame the decision. (Bitcoin Exchange Guide)

According to self-media Wu Shuo blockchain news, in the early morning of June 20th, Ketuan Zhan issued a statement on his personal official Weibo. A few new details:
First, in response to Zhan's relatives controlling the supply chain in Shenzhen, Hong Kong Bit controlled the procurement and supply of chips, and thus interrupted the supply of chips to Shenzhen. This will cause Zhan to only be able to sell inventory, but unable to produce and sell new products and futures. However, Zhan can also place an order with TSMC after receiving the futures payment. Second, if Zhan obtains the support of the Cayman shareholder meeting, Zhan can also make adjustments to the Cayman bit or the Hong Kong bit. At present, Zhan is launching a lawsuit in Cayman, the core of which is whether Zhan’s more than 50% of voting rights are effectively cancelled. According to the articles of association of BitCayman, voting rights are invalid when the articles of association are changed. Therefore, Zhan, who holds 36% of the shares, still needs to fight for more shares, which is why he is currently acquiring employee shares.

Ex-Goldman Sachs executive: Bitcoin is ready to rebound, dollar weakness will push BTC to new highs
Former Goldman Sachs executive Rob Koyfman says bitcoin is ripe for a big rally after months of consolidation. Koyfman, now the founder and CEO of market intelligence firm Koyfin, said the Fed’s determination to print money and boost the economy could end up weakening the U.S. dollar, the world’s reserve currency, while also driving BTC higher. Bitcoin is primed for a rally, according to Koyfman, who believes a weak dollar will push it above its all-time high of around $20,000. (The Daily Hodl)
