forklog.media Botanix Announces Gradual Shutdown of Bitcoin L2 Network

The Botanix team has announced a phased shutdown of its L2 network on Bitcoin, urging users to withdraw assets by July 9, 2026. It is with a heavy heart that we announce we are winding down the Botanix network.This decision is the hardest one we have made in four years, and we want to share the reasoning openly because the people who backed us, built with us, and used what we shipped deserve more than a…— Botanix 🕷️ (@botanix) June 9, 2026 The team explained the decision was due to weak demand for Bitcoin programmability. Developers assessed the market as immature: most DeFi sector users prefer the wrapped version of the first cryptocurrency on the Ethereum network, while on-chain activity is increasingly concentrated on major platforms like Hyperliquid and Robinhood. According to Botanix, users primarily view Bitcoin as a store of value rather than an asset for high-frequency trading. As a result, the network's commission revenues were insufficient to cover infrastructure costs. After July 9, assets remaining on the network will be controlled by the validator group Federation. Other funds not withdrawn by the deadline will be irretrievable. Botanix positioned itself as an EVM-compatible L2 solution for Bitcoin. The project launched its mainnet on July 1, 2025, promising to reduce block addition times from 10 minutes to five seconds and bring DeFi tools to the first cryptocurrency's ecosystem. In May 2024, Botanix Labs raised $8.5 million, bringing total funding to $11.5 million. The round included Polychain Capital, Placeholder Capital, Valor Equity Partners, and ABCDE. Earlier in the same year, analysts at Galaxy Digital suggested that by 2030, more than $47 billion in liquidity could transition to Bitcoin L2 solutions.

forklog.media EU Proposes Sanctions Targeting Crypto Exchanges in New Package

The European Commission unveiled its 21st package of sanctions against Russia, encompassing measures in financial services, crypto assets, trade, and energy. The financial segment includes asset freezes for nearly 90 banks and a ban on transactions for more than 30 credit institutions in Russia and third countries. The package places particular emphasis on the crypto sector. For the first time, it proposes restrictions on 11 crypto platforms that the EU believes are facilitating sanctions evasion. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced plans to create a mechanism for a complete ban on crypto services from third countries if they assist in lifting restrictions. The document also proposes freezing the current price cap on Russian oil at $44.1 per barrel for six months, along with restrictions against shadow fleets, traders, and refineries from third countries.Additionally, import restrictions will, for the first time, affect fish products and high-performance metal alloys critical for the defense and aerospace industries. The proposal is on the agenda for the EU member states' Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper II) meeting on June 10. Approval of the sanctions requires unanimous consent from all 27 member states. In January, the US first imposed sanctions on Bitcoin exchanges for links to Iran.

forklog.media Wintermute Highlights Weak Capital Inflow into Bitcoin

Following Bitcoin's drop below $62,000, there are no signs of capital returning to digital assets. Analysts at Wintermute linked the correction to institutional sales and outflows from ETFs. Source: X/Wintermute. Over the week, Bitcoin lost about 14% and fell to the lows of September 2024. Experts do not consider the current position of the asset to be a confirmed market bottom. In their view, a reversal requires sustained buying pressure. Wintermute also mentioned the sale of 32 BTC by Strategy between May 26 and 31. The company described this volume as insignificant but noted the symbolic significance of the transaction — it was the firm's first Bitcoin sale since 2022. According to analysts, the main market pressure is due to weakened demand. After May 30, US spot Bitcoin ETFs showed 10 consecutive sessions of net outflows, with cumulative net losses during this period amounting to about $2.97 billion. The total outflow for May reached $2.43 billion — the worst monthly figure of 2026. Wintermute also referred to data from its own OTC terminal: retail investors have recently been net sellers, shifting to stocks. American institutions have taken a bearish stance in recent days, while flows in Asia and Europe remained balanced. Analysts noted the weak technical support in the $50,000–$59,000 range, as Bitcoin quickly moved through this zone during its rise in 2024. The company added that some long-term capital is gradually building positions at current levels, but for a confirmed reversal, the market needs a return of sustained inflows.

forklog.media Reuters: SpaceX IPO Demand Surpasses $250 Billion

Demand for Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO has exceeded $250 billion, reaching nearly four times oversubscription, according to Reuters, citing its sources. The company plans to raise about $75 billion by offering 555 million Class A shares at $135 each. Agency sources stated that the current level of oversubscription is 3.5-4 times the planned deal size. Reuters emphasized that these figures reflect indicative interest from institutional investors, including large orders from long-term funds, and may change. Musk participated in several Zoom meetings with potential buyers, one of the agency's sources noted. SpaceX continues its marketing efforts. Company President Gwynne Shotwell and CFO Bret Johnsen, according to sources, are expected to attend a luncheon for institutional investors at Morgan Stanley's Manhattan office, organized by the bank's co-president Dan Simkovic. The offering occurs amid extreme market volatility. On June 10, the Nasdaq Composite traded down after its largest one-day drop in over a year, while Bitcoin fell 2.8%, sitting 37% below its January peak. Some analysts suggested that one factor in the market's decline could be asset sales by buyers freeing up liquidity to participate in the SpaceX IPO. In May, SpaceX filed a public IPO application with the SEC. According to the S-1 form, as of March 31, the firm held 18,712 BTC, acquired for $661 million.

forklog.media Glassnode Detects Signs of Capitulation Among XRP Holders

According to Glassnode, XRP holders are increasingly selling the asset at a loss. The 90-day average realized profit-to-loss ratio has dropped to 0.38, meaning for every $1 of losses, there is only $0.38 of profit, reports CoinDesk. At its peak in 2025, the ratio reached 50. Glassnode estimates that a drop below 1 indicates a dominance of loss-making sales and signs of market participant capitulation. At the time of publication, XRP was trading around $1.11, down nearly 40% since the beginning of the year and significantly below the July high of over $3.60.
