Weekly Top Crypto News (June 12 - June 18)
During today’s FOMC meeting, the Fed decided not to increase its federal funds’ rate, halting a continuous string of aggressive rises stretching back to March 2022. The central bank needs time to examine the effect of its prior monetary tightening actions on the economy.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is on the verge of launching a Bitcoin ETF. With the ETF, the massive asset management will use Coinbase Custody and the crypto exchange’s spot market data. It was unclear if the ETF would be spot or future.
Tether’s USDT is currently struggling with market volatility. The Curve 3Pool’s balance should be 33.33% for each of its three stablecoins, however, Tether’s balance has risen to well almost 70%. This suggests that traders are selling a lot of USDT for DAI or USDC, causing the stablecoin to de-peg to $0.9975.
Tether’s FOIL documents reveal important information about its banking relationships, asset-backing strategy, and reliance on commercial paper. CoinDesk stands by the integrity of its reporting on Tether, including the release of FOIL documents obtained after a court dispute, which coincided with USDT losing its peg.

French authorities are investigating Binance for an “illegal” supply of digital asset services and aggravated money laundering.

Binance.US, Binance and the SEC have come to a mutual agreement. Binance.US will ensure that no authorities from the global exchange, Binance Holdings, have access to private keys for wallets or hardware wallets. The deal was approved by Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
Hinman materials and speeches, including Ripple’s Rule 56.1 declaration, are now accessible to the public.

On June 4, however, then-SEC director Hinman shared a draft of the speech with the commission’s division chiefs.
