Softer CPI Data Offers Relief, But Tariff Risks Linger

The May U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report came in softer than expected across all key metrics, offering a momentary sigh of relief for investors and policymakers.

• Core CPI (m/m): Actual 0.1% vs. Forecast 0.3% (previously 0.2%)

• Headline CPI (m/m): Actual 0.1% vs. Forecast 0.2% (previously 0.2%)

• Headline CPI (y/y): Actual 2.4% vs. Forecast 2.5% (previously 2.3%)

All three figures undercut market expectations, particularly the monthly Core CPI, which signals weaker underlying inflation pressure. Although the annual CPI ticked up slightly from 2.3% to 2.4%, it's still beneath forecasts and largely a result of last year’s base effects, not a fresh wave of inflation. This cooling inflation data is being interpreted as bullish for risk assets like equities and cryptocurrencies. It reduces the urgency for aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, especially after weeks of concern that renewed tariffs and supply chain constraints could reignite inflation. However, the victory lap may be premature. Analysts and Fed officials alike caution that the true impact of recent tariffs, particularly on Chinese imports, has yet to be felt. Companies typically absorb initial shocks using existing inventories, meaning that price hikes often don’t show up in CPI data for another 2–3 months. So while today’s CPI numbers may ignite a short-term rally, the coming months will be critical. If tariff driven inflation begins filtering through as expected, it could reignite concerns around monetary tightening and dampen risk-on sentiment.

$177B and Counting: Institutions Corner the BTC Supply

A new wave of corporate FOMO is sweeping through the public market and it’s laser-focused on Bitcoin. This week, California-based KULR Technology Group filed plans with the SEC to raise $300 million in an at-the-market offering to expand its growing Bitcoin treasury. KULR currently holds 920 BTC, valued at over $1 billion at writing time. Partnering with Cantor Fitzgerald, KULR aims to become a “Bitcoin-First” company, and they're not alone . The Blockchain Group just announced a $342M capital raise to expand its BTC holdings after purchasing $68M worth of Bitcoin last week. Its stock jumped 17% to €4.80 ($5.48) following the news. Other recent joiners to the treasury game include SolarBank, Treasure Global, and Davis Commodities, each following the same playbook: stack sats and build resilience. And the momentum is building, data from Bitbo shows more than 60 public and 12 private companies now hold Bitcoin, with 227 total entities accumulating a combined $177 billion worth of BTC. Industry giant Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) remains the largest corporate holder by far, with $63B of that total. With Bitcoin adoption creeping deeper into boardrooms and balance sheets, it’s clear the next leg of institutional accumulation may already be underway.

The Global Shift: Laws, Regulations & Stablecoins

Crypto legislation is gaining serious traction worldwide, fast. In the U.S., the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is headed for a full House vote after clearing two key committees. The bill, designed to reshape how digital assets are regulated, would strip power from the SEC and instead hand most crypto oversight to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), a more hands-off regulator. Lawmakers backing the bill say it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to provide clear, innovation-friendly rules. Meanwhile, Ukraine has introduced a bill to allow its National Bank to include virtual assets like Bitcoin in the country's gold and foreign exchange reserves. If passed, Ukraine could become one of the first nations to officially classify BTC as a strategic reserve asset. Although the country already holds over 46,000 BTC worth more than $5 billion, these assets are currently in the hands of civil servants and not the government itself. And over in South Korea, a major policy shake-up is also underway. Following the snap election of crypto-friendly President Lee Jae-myung earlier this month, regulators are now moving to legalize spot Bitcoin ETFs and build a regulated stablecoin market pegged to the Korean won. The Bank of Korea will host a high-stakes meeting with top commercial banks on June 23rd to discuss regulatory frameworks as political momentum grows to reduce barriers for fintech firms and encourage domestic innovation. From Washington to Seoul to Kyiv, the tide is turning. Clearer frameworks are on the horizon and they could trigger the next wave of crypto adoption.

Trump vs. Trump: The Wallet Scandal

Drama is erupting in the Trump crypto empire. Just days after announcing a branded crypto wallet for the $TRUMP meme coin in partnership with Magic Eden, the launch has now been scrapped. The decision comes after internal conflict between the president’s sons and the GetTrumpMemes team. Eric Trump posted on Friday to X, distancing the family from the original wallet initiative, stating instead that the Trump meme coin has aligned with World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by President Trump and his family. The pivot follows a cease-and-desist letter sent to the GetTrumpMemes team by World Liberty Financial, leading to the original wallet’s website being taken offline. While this meme wallet may be dead, World Liberty Financial announced its own upcoming wallet initiative, and so the Trump crypto machine rolls on. Eric Trump also announced that World Liberty Financial now plans to acquire a “substantial position” in the $TRUMP token for its long-term treasury. He emphasized a shared vision for crypto, patriotism, and long-term success. This certainly whole fiasco certainly isn’t Trump’s first dance with Web3. After launching a successful NFT collection in 2022, the president’s crypto ventures have added serious digits to his net worth. According to reports, crypto now accounts for nearly 40% of President Trump’s wealth, valued at around $2.9 billion. Whether the family feud impacts momentum is unclear, but one thing’s certain: politics and meme coins make a volatile mix.

USDT Dominance

$USDT.D has shown a bullish change of character (CHoCH) on the daily timeframe. Following a structural shift like this, the typical play is to wait for a retracement into the 65%–70% Fibonacci zone, and right now price is sitting precisely at the 0.65 Fib level, aligning with a daily point of control (POC). This confluence of levels makes it a zone worth watching closely as a bounce back up from here is likely. However, caution is warranted. A break and close below the 4.36% level would quickly invalidate this bullish setup. While lower timeframes (like the 4H) show $USDT.D trading beneath resistance and suggest a bearish bias in the short term, the 1D chart tells a different story, hinting that this could simply be a bullish corrective wave within a larger upward trend which is the most likely scenario as it is very uncommon for a market structure shift to be directly followed by another without first giving a break of structure with the new trend.

Others Dominance

$OTHERS.D, one of the most reliable indexes for respecting higher timeframe support and resistance levels is back at a key resistance zone, so it’s time to tread carefully. No altcoin rally begins until this level is cleanly broken and reclaimed. That being said, a breakout isn’t likely to happen right away. The more probable scenario is some consolidation just below this resistance, especially with $ETH also facing resistance at the same time. These charts are moving in perfect sync, and when they finally align for a breakout, it could set the stage for a major altcoin rally. Patience and precision will be key.

Toncoin - $TON

Toncoin is the native token of The Open Network – a fast, scalable Layer-1 blockchain originally created by the Telegram team. While Telegram was forced to abandon the project in 2020 due to legal pressure, the community revived it and has since turned it into one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in crypto. With Telegram’s 950M+ users and native Toncoin wallet support now live, TON is quickly becoming crypto’s biggest gateway to the masses.

What Does Toncoin Do?
Fast, cheap transactions powered by a scalable blockchain using sharding and Proof-of-Stake. Used inside Telegram for sending crypto in chats, buying usernames, paying for stickers, anonymous numbers, ads, and more. Utility token for paying network fees, staking, voting on governance, and using TON-based services like DNS, proxy, and soon, decentralized storage.

How It Works?
TON uses dynamic sharding, it splits the blockchain into smaller chains that work in parallel, allowing millions of transactions per second. Think of it like Telegram speed, but for crypto. It’s powered by a Proof-of-Stake system where validators earn rewards by staking Toncoin.

Whale Moves & Token Unlocks
- In early 2025, whales accumulated 68M TON (~$250M) in just 3 days.
- 20% of supply (~1.08B) is locked until 2027, after a community vote froze inactive wallets.
- Supply growth is slow and mostly comes from validator rewards, no big unlock cliffs.

Major Partnerships
- Toncoin is the exclusive blockchain for Telegram Apps, payments and premium services.
- Elon Musk’s xAI deal with Telegram boosted Toncoin by ~18% in May 2025.
- Tencent Cloud and LayerZero support TON’s growth across Web3 and cross-chain apps.

Real-World Use Cases
- Peer-to-peer payments in Telegram chats (as simple as sending a message).
- Buy/sell rare usernames and NFTs via the Fragment platform.
- Pay for Telegram Premium, ads, and digital goods directly with TON.
- Powering games, DeFi apps, and soon file storage, all inside Telegram.

What’s Coming Next?
- TON Storage for decentralized file hosting.
- Layer-2 payments network for instant microtransactions.
- Goal of 500M users on-chain by 2030, leveraging Telegram as the bridge.
- Keep an eye on the 2027 unlock and upcoming ecosystem expansion.

TL;DR
Toncoin is the crypto built for Telegram – fast, cheap and ready for mass adoption. It already powers in-app payments, NFTs, staking and real-world digital goods, with one of the most active retail funnels in crypto. If Telegram is the gateway, Toncoin is the currency.
