In crypto news today (June 8), the market has rallied slightly over the weekend, with Bitcoin trading back above $63,000 on this Monday after a +1.6% overnight pump. This brief rally has also seen liquidations slow, with the 24-hour figure at just $630M, down from $1-2Bn last week.
Ethereum has bounced even harder, surging +4% in the past 24 hours, trading at $1,670. While encouraging, this still leaves it needing a near-20% pump to reclaim $2,000.
ETF flows continue to lean bearish, with last Friday closing the week with a -$325M, leaving the various Bitcoin ETF products, although Ethereum fared slightly better, with just -$6M sold via ETFs.
The Fear & Greed Index is back at near-all-time lows, sitting at 8/100, marking ‘Extreme Fear’ and one of its lowest levels since early May 2026, highlighting how fearful market participants are currently.
Crypto News Today: HTX, the Justin Sun-Backed Crypto Exchange, Halts Trading of Trump Family Stablecoin
A major crypto exchange, HTX, which is backed by Tron founder and entrepreneur Justin Sun, has delisted USD1, the stablecoin associated with the Trump family. The decision came after the exchange claimed that World Liberty Financial had wrongfully frozen its on-chain addresses.
On Saturday, HTX announced on X that the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project team had “unilaterally” frozen specific HTX on-chain addresses due to sanctions compliance reviews. As a result, the circulation of certain WLFI assets associated with those addresses has been restricted. HTX emphasized that the delisting of USD1 was done to protect users’ assets.

Liquidations Flip Short – Is the Market Showing Signs of a Recovery?
In other crypto news, after last week, which saw 24-hour periods during which over $1.5Bn in long trades were liquidated, the script has seemingly flipped. Not only has the daily volume of liquidations dropped to just $629M, but of that figure, only $160M is from longs, while over $468M is from shorts.
This is notable as it potentially shows that it is now bears being punished, rather than bulls. If this trend continues deeper into the week, it could signal part of a wider recovery across crypto as Bitcoin attempts to reclaim $65,000 while Ethereum tries to get back above $2,000.
Is Satoshi Back? Old Bitcoin Wallet Dormant Since 2010 Just Woke Up
Two Bitcoin wallets sitting untouched since 2011, firmly in the Satoshi-era BTC category, have moved coins for the first time in nearly 15 years, and a bizarre New York lawsuit appears to be the reason why.
The movements, flagged by Galaxy Research’s Alex Thorn, triggered the familiar cycle of Satoshi speculation and the expert deflation that follows.

However, over the weekend, the Bitcoin price recovered to over $63,000, with early signs pointing to a potential rally, though whether it can be sustained remains to be seen.

Can $1.10 XRP Price Hold or is $0.90 Coming Next for Ripple?
The XRP price is back above $1.10, and traders are watching closely to see whether this recovery has legs or is just a temporary bounce. The coin is trading at $1.14, flat on the day, with over $2.1Bn in trading volume and a market cap of $70Bn. The more interesting question is what happens next at the resistance levels stacking up above the current price.
