Bitcoin registers an all-time low transaction volume, spot trading fades away

Image
Since February 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) has traded in a price range between $60,000 and $72,000, with two deviations. This has carved a mostly neutral momentum for the leading cryptocurrency, now seeing its trading and transaction volume fade away. Finbold retrieved data from Santiment on June 2 showing both metrics with the BTC price, currently at $68,100. In particular, the seven-day trading volume plummeted below $14 billion to the same level as 2023, when Bitcoin traded below $30,000. Moreover, the chart evidences a lack of interest in Bitcoin trading and on-chain transaction volume s, with the second remarkably low.

Starknet L2 initiates test transactions from Ethereum mainnet

Image
The official Starknet Ethereum address made seven cross-chain transactions ahead of the anticipated launch of STRK, the protocol’s native token expected by Q2 2024.  Starknet transferred less than three STRK tokens between Ethereum’s mainnet and the project’s layer-2 network, per data seen on block explorer Starkscan. The action was likely part of an on-chain test exercise for the Ethereum-based scaling solution before developers rolled out the ERC-20 cryptocurrency. STRK test transactions | Source: Starkscan The transactions for users and network participants indicate progress toward STRK’s launch, which may accompany an airdrop and community rewards.

Beneficiaries of the Early Community Member Program are also set to receive a portion o...
