Bitcoin’s $10 billion credit market keeps growing after its first major selloff

Strategy and Strive preferred shares plunged below par in June, but record trading and Metaplanet’s Japan plans show the market is still expanding.

Good to see you this Saturday.

Crypto’s latest split is becoming harder to ignore: institutional funding paths are opening even as weaker operating models and controls are breaking down. That matters because access, custody, and credit are maturing unevenly, leaving readers to track where resilience is actually improving and where counterparty risk is still very real.

Bitcoin’s $10 billion credit market kept expanding after its first sharp selloff, with record trading and Metaplanet pushing the model into Japan. But AscendEX’s shutdown after missing MiCA, with uncertain withdrawals, shows how quickly trust can evaporate.


The global crypto market cap is $2.21 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $46.3 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $64,349.82, and BTC market dominance is 58.5%. The price of Ethereum is $1,812.31, and ETH market dominance is 9.9%. The best-performing sector is Virtuals, which gained 15%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Extreme Fear (26).
