DUBAI, UAE, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today released a new crypto insights report with Block Scholes, revealing how landmark U.S. legislative proposals like the GENIUS Act are set to reinforce the U.S. dollar’s global dominance and rewire the international financial order. The report analyzes a new wave of regulatory momentum under the Trump administration, highlighting how new laws could institutionalize digital assets and cement the leadership role of the U.S. in the crypto industry.

The report outlines key regulatory developments under the Trump administration that have boosted investors’ confidence in crypto. The industry stands at the intersection of the dollar’s legacy hegemony, favorable policy shifts in the U.S., and the global trend of increasing regulatory clarity. Institutional and official acceptance of crypto—from stablecoins to BTC, is being coded into laws.

Key Insights:

  • Reinventing the USD – the GENIUS Act: To rejuvenate the greenback’s dominance in the international financial system, U.S. lawmakers have long been pushing for digital asset legislation that can balance consumer protection and innovation. This underscores the GENIUS Act’s significance as the U.S. asserts its might in a volatile world: the future of money will still be denominated in the U.S. dollar.
  • A million BTC in reserves: U.S. legislators are seeking creative ways to defuse America’s time-ticking debt bomb. Some of them are turning to BTC. The newly proposed BITCOIN Act, if passed, will open up demands for 200,000 BTC annually to form part of the U.S. Treasury’s strategic BTC reserves. This will not only cause BTC prices to shoot up, but also signal deeper implications for public recognition and adoption of digital assets.
  • The global race to regulate crypto: From South Korea and Pakistan, to the U.K. and Europe at large, no regulator wants to be left behind in the crypto revolution. The report uncovers insights from across the globe and what these changes could mean for the digital asset class.

Protocol Camp Announces Upcoming New Edition to Empower Web3 Innovators Across Asia

SEOUL, South Korea, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Protocol Camp, Asia’s leading Web3 bootcamp originally launched in South Korea, is returning with a unified, expanded format. The upcoming edition merges the Korea and Southeast Asia programs into a single initiative aimed at delivering greater impact for blockchain developers and entrepreneurs across the continent.

Protocol Camp Announces Upcoming New Edition to Empower Web3 Innovators Across Asia

Originally hosted by Hashed and Hanwha Life – Korea’s second-largest life insurer – Protocol Camp has steadily grown across Asia. The Southeast Asia edition, launched in 2024, was led by ShardLab, Hashed’s innovation arm, in collaboration with SCBX. These partnerships reinforced the program’s strategic relevance and reach. With this integration, Protocol Camp is positioned to scale its influence as a pan-Asian launchpad for Web3 talent.

Proven Track Record of Web3 Talent Development

Since its inception, Protocol Camp has run six cohorts in Korea, producing 69 graduates and incubating 21 blockchain products. Alumni have joined top Web2 companies such as Hanwha Systems, AWS and BCG, and Web3 organizations including Solana, TON, Hashed Open Research, Modhaus, and more — demonstrating the program’s ability to nurture high-caliber talent.

In 2024, the program expanded to Southeast Asia, welcoming over 10 alumni from 5 countries and supporting the creation of new products on the Aptos blockchain. Across both regions, Protocol Camp has built a dynamic builder community shaping the decentralized ecosystem through startups and major blockchain teams.

A New Chapter Led by ShardLab

ShardLab, the innovation arm of Hashed, led Protocol Camp’s Southeast Asia expansion and will now oversee the unified pan-Asian program. This marks a strategic step to broaden the camp’s regional reach and deepen its focus on high-impact Web3 talent.

“By unifying the program, Protocol Camp becomes a true pan-Asian initiative that supports builders wherever they are,” said Hojin Kim, CEO of ShardLab. “Our mission is to empower the next generation of Web3 leaders through education, mentorship, and real-world experience.”

“Through diverse partnerships — from global foundations to regional conglomerates — we’re building a collaborative platform where innovators can thrive,” Kim added.

ShardLab ultimately envisions Protocol Camp evolving into a full-fledged Web3 academy, offering continuous education and resources to help founders scale decentralized innovation.

Shaping the Future of Web3 in Asia

With Web3 adoption on the rise, Protocol Camp remains committed to empowering builders through education, community, and global partnerships. The unified program is set to lead Asia’s next wave of decentralized innovation.

Applications opening soon at www.protocolcamp.com.

Pascal St-Jean, President and CEO of 3iQ, said: “To be recognized as Best Digital Asset Investment Manager at such a prestigious award ceremony in the heart of the City of London demonstrates just how 3iQ is a leader in this space and our Best Bitcoin ETF Issuer and Fund Manager Innovator of the Year accolades are further evidence that we are delivering some of the most innovative ETFs on the markets.”

Bitcoin Price Forecast Eyes $110K Breakout

The Bitcoin price forecast is gaining bullish momentum as BTC rebounds strongly from weekend losses, trading at around $106,839. With geopolitical tensions easing—particularly the ceasefire between Israel and Iran—investors appear more confident, propelling cryptocurrencies into recovery mode.

Leading the charge is Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), backed by solid institutional flows and rising spot ETF interest. Meanwhile, altcoins like Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) and XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) show signs of recovery as derivatives markets heat up.

Institutional Inflows Support the Bitcoin Price Forecast

Despite global unrest, Bitcoin remains a hedge against uncertainty. According to SoSoValue, weekly net inflows into Bitcoin treasury funds reached $198 million, boosting total holdings to approximately $70 billion across 21 companies.

Among the top corporate holders:

  • MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) holds 592,345 BTC valued at around $63 billion.

  • Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) owns 11,509 BTC worth $1.23 billion.

  • Metaplanet follows with 11,111 BTC, currently valued at $1.18 billion.

These large positions underscore growing confidence in BTC as a long-term asset, further fueling a bullish Bitcoin price forecast.

ETFs Add Fuel to the Rally

Bitcoin spot ETFs saw renewed interest this week, with daily net inflows hitting $589 million on Tuesday, up from $350 million the day before. BlackRock’s IBIT led the way with $436 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $85 million.

This ETF momentum is not only attracting new investors but also legitimizing Bitcoin as a mainstream asset. As these products gain traction, analysts expect volatility to decline and price trends to strengthen.

Technical Setup Signals More Upside

Technically, Bitcoin is approaching its next resistance level at $107,000. A confirmed breakout above $110,000—last tested in early June—would mark a new psychological and technical milestone.

The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is nearing a bullish crossover. If the blue MACD line crosses above the red signal line, traders may increase their exposure, accelerating the rally.

Key levels to watch include:

  • 50-day EMA: $103,365

  • 100-day EMA: $99,571

  • Weekend low support: $98,227

A move above $110,000 could open the door to retesting all-time highs near $110,980, while failure to hold $106,000 could trigger another round of profit-taking.

Ethereum and XRP Join the Derivatives Rebound

While Bitcoin leads the charge, Ethereum and XRP are also showing signs of life. Ethereum is trading just under the 200-day EMA resistance at $2,470, with immediate support at $2,424 (50-day EMA).

Although the MACD and RSI suggest indecision, a notable rise in futures Open Interest (OI) from $28.19 billion to $31.53 billion signals a growing appetite for ETH exposure.

XRP, meanwhile, has struggled to push past resistance at $2.21 (50-day EMA) but remains supported by the 200-day EMA at $2.09. Its OI increased from $3.54 billion to $3.76 billion, suggesting a tentative revival in investor interest.

If XRP fails to gain momentum, the $1.90 support level could be tested again.

Outlook: Bitcoin Still in the Driver’s Seat

For now, all eyes remain on Bitcoin as the broader crypto market takes its cues from the leading digital asset. With institutional inflows rising, ETF momentum building, and technical signals aligning, the Bitcoin price forecast remains bullish—especially if BTC can push past the $110,000 threshold.

If that happens, the next leg of the bull cycle could be underway, pulling altcoins like Ethereum and XRP along for the ride.

As macro conditions stabilize and crypto infrastructure continues to mature, Bitcoin may evolve further into a mainstream asset class. Long-term investors are watching closely, as sustained momentum could mark the beginning of a new growth phase—one that reshapes digital asset valuations and investor expectations for years to come.

This potential shift could also influence regulatory frameworks, institutional portfolio strategies, and public perception of cryptocurrencies. If current trends hold, Bitcoin’s role in global finance may extend beyond speculation and into permanent allocation strategies, reshaping how wealth is preserved and grown in a digital-first economy.

How Coinbase Is Driving Crypto Adoption in Germany

Germany is known for its financial conservatism, but crypto adoption in Germany is quietly gaining momentum—thanks in part to Coinbase’s strategic push. Leading the charge is Denny Morawiak, Coinbase’s country director, who’s working hard to change how affluent Germans view Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), and even the more playful corners of the crypto market like PopCat (CRYPTO:POPCAT).

Changing the Mindset of a Conservative Nation

Convincing Germans to embrace cryptocurrency is no easy task. The country has a notoriously cautious investment culture, with a 20% savings rate in 2024 (Eurostat), compared to just under 5% in the U.S. (Bureau of Economic Analysis, April 2025). Most Germans still prefer traditional financial products like government bonds and pensions, which offer stability over the volatility of digital assets.

Morawiak believes that crypto adoption in Germany won’t come from memes or hype, but from education and trust. “They’re not just looking for performance,” he says. “They want to understand the product, the risks, and how it fits into their long-term strategy.”

A White Glove Strategy for Wealthy Investors

To boost interest, Coinbase is leveraging a white glove approach—hosting elite events and personalized consultations. Since 2023, Coinbase has been a sponsor of Borussia Dortmund, the Bundesliga giant. This partnership has allowed Coinbase to hold events at the stadium, offering a premium experience that attracts high-net-worth individuals curious about crypto.

“There are already wealthy individuals diversified into crypto,” says Morawiak. “But there’s an even bigger group that’s not yet in. That’s who we’re targeting now.”

This strategy hinges on referrals, loyalty, and education. Attendees bring their friends—people who want to invest but need clarity on tax implications or safer ways to enter the market.

Why Germany Still Hesitates

Part of the hesitation comes from Germany’s robust pension system. Younger workers pay into a system that benefits current retirees, and most people don’t feel the urgency to build private wealth through riskier assets.

“The money I contribute right now goes directly to my grandparents,” Morawiak explains. “So I’m less focused on what happens with that money—it’s not meant for me.”

Combined with a lack of financial education on market investing, this mindset makes crypto adoption in Germany particularly challenging. However, Morawiak sees an opportunity. “We’re a rich country with big companies,” he says. “But we’re a country of relatively unwealthy people. It’s a pity.”

Education First, Hype Last

When asked about speculative assets like memecoins, Morawiak is cautious. PopCat (CRYPTO:POPCAT), for example—a Solana-based (CRYPTO:SOL) token based on a cat meme—is not something he recommends for retirement portfolios.

“I wouldn’t advise anyone to build a pension around memecoins,” he says with a laugh. Instead, the real opportunity lies in showing investors how to treat digital assets as part of a diversified portfolio.

Coinbase’s approach emphasizes responsible investing, not hype. Their Germany team has launched educational campaigns for Borussia Dortmund employees, hoping to demystify crypto for everyday professionals.

Looking Ahead

The formula seems to be working. As Coinbase continues to host exclusive events, Morawiak is fielding more calls from interested clients—some already invested in equities and looking to diversify, others who need handholding through their first crypto transaction.

In a country where financial risk has long been taboo, the path to crypto adoption in Germany may not be fast—but it’s becoming more possible. And for Morawiak, that’s the goal.

“Growth won’t come overnight,” he says, “but it will come through trust and education.”

In the future, Coinbase may expand beyond high-net-worth clients and begin tailoring financial literacy efforts for a younger demographic. This could include university workshops, online tutorials, and collaborations with schools—planting the seeds for long-term change in how Germans view money, wealth-building, and digital assets.
