Hello. This is the TokenPost podcast. Are you wrapping up your day well? I hope you have a comfortable commute home. Today is Friday, June 27, 2025 evening news, and I've brought some particularly thought-provoking content. The market seems to have paused a bit, but looking inside, there were many interesting movements. Especially today, I want to delve deeply into the shocking hacking news and these contrasting signals of steady institutional investment.
Host
Yes, that's right. Rather than price fluctuations themselves, if we look at the stories behind them, especially security issues and institutional movements, we can read an important facet of the current market.
TokenPost
Good. Then let's quickly touch on today's afternoon market rates. Overall, it has declined a bit.
TokenPost
Ah, I see. ETH has also declined.
Host
Yes, ETH dropped 1.56%, recording around $2,449.
TokenPost
XRP and Solana seem to have fallen more.
Host
That's right. XRP dropped significantly by 4.18%, and Solana declined by 2.48%. While most major altcoins were weak, some coins like BNB and TRON showed a slight upward trend.
TokenPost
I see. What is the total cryptocurrency market capitalization?
Host
The market cap is around $3.28 trillion, and the 24-hour trading volume is about $98.8 billion. Bitcoin's dominance, or market share, has slightly increased to 65.04%.
TokenPost
Ah, in this adjustment period, Bitcoin's influence has actually grown a bit. Now, let's move on to the most noteworthy news. The cryptocurrency hacking damage for the first half of this year was released, and it was truly shocking.
Host
Yes, I was also surprised when I saw it. According to a report by TRM Labs, a blockchain analysis company, cryptocurrencies worth $2.1 billion were stolen in the first half of 2025 alone. This is almost equivalent to the entire damage from last year.
TokenPost
$2.1 billion in just the first half of the year - it's an unimaginable amount. But what's more important is the cause.
Host
Yes, that's exactly it. The key point in the report is that over 80% of the damage was not due to simple user errors, but caused by infrastructure vulnerability attacks.
TokenPost
Infrastructure vulnerability attacks? What specifically does that mean?
Host
For example, private key leaks or manipulating website front-ends to siphon funds. In other words, most attacks targeted system security vulnerabilities.
TokenPost
Ah, so this isn't something that can be solved by individual users being careful. This is a signal that the systems we use are still unstable.
Host
Exactly. Technology continues to advance, but these fundamental security issues persist.
TokenPost
Yes, it seems like a seriously critical issue. In this situation, can institutional investors continue to invest large sums confidently?
Host
Yes, that's the crucial point. An important question arises: if this fundamental trust issue isn't resolved, can the market continue to grow long-term?
TokenPost
Understood. Let's look at other movements continuing despite this unease. What news do we have?
Host
First, institutional movements continue to be noticeable. Nasdaq-listed BitDigital has completed a capital increase of $150 million. They plan to increase ETH staking and even swap their existing BTC to ETH.
TokenPost
Oh, swapping BTC to ETH. We're seeing changes in institutional portfolios.
Host
Yes, there's such a trend. Also, the Canadian listed company Belgravia raised $1 million for Bitcoin investment.
TokenPost
There's news about mining companies too.
Host
Yes, Bitcoin mining company IonicDigital announced they hold over 2,520 BTC as of the end of May. Avalon Apps met with a US think tank to discuss supporting regulatory clarification bills. Regulatory movements continue steadily.
TokenPost
How about the ETF side?
TokenPost
Ah, Grayscale's volume is still having an impact. ARK Invest also made some moves.
Host
Yes, Cathie Wood's ARK Investment sold $12.5 million worth of stock on the day Coinbase's stock hit its peak. It appears they've taken some profit-taking action.
TokenPost
I see. There's also an interesting product news from Hong Kong.
Host
The subsidiary of Hong Kong Guangfa Securities has launched a GF Token, which is a tokenized security that provides daily interest. It seems that the attempt to bring real assets onto the blockchain continues to be active.
TokenPost
What kind of market analysis perspectives have emerged?
Host
Tiger Research suggests that as the trend of combining centralized finance (CeDeFi) with decentralized finance continues, the importance of exchange-specific tokens will grow. Also, some Bitcoin analysts believe that there are no immediate catalysts for a significant crash, and with institutional fund inflows and the rise of the US stock market, there's a possibility of setting new all-time highs. These are the kinds of opinions being discussed.
TokenPost
What about the analysis of Ethereum?
Host
There are analyses suggesting that if Ethereum maintains the $2,400 support line, there's potential for further increase. Some also believe that the ETH to BTC ratio has become so low that a reversal is imminent.
TokenPost
Yes, please briefly summarize the news from domestic exchanges.
Host
Bithumb has designated FLZ as an investment caution item and listed the SYRUP Token. Upbit has temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals for IOTX and META. Coinone plans to list a new Token called PEAQ.
TokenPost
Yes, listening to today's news, it seems really two-sided. On one side, the fundamental security issues are significantly exposed by the massive $2.1 billion hacking damage in just the first half, but on the other side, institutions continue to enter, invest, and develop new products and technologies.
Host
That's right. So, the final question to throw out today is this: Can the market continue to grow despite these fundamental infrastructure and security issues? Or will this problem hinder true mass adoption and sustainable growth? We hope listeners will deeply consider what possibilities they see amidst these conflicting signals.
TokenPost
Yes, you've raised a very important question. This is the end of our in-depth discussion today. This has been the TokenPost podcast. Have a comfortable evening.
Host
Thank you.
