Welcome,

Crypto undergoes another high-volatile week as we observe a third domino piece fall since the LUNA crash. This time it’s the liquidation of a leading crypto hedge fund — days after the freezing of the crypto lender Celsius.

It is still difficult to say if this is the last obstacle before we see a trend reversal, but the good news is that Bitcoin closed its weekly candle above $20,000, preventing another downward spike at the beginning of this week.

Before we move further with today’s letter, I want to remind you that OB Capital will host a speech at Crypto Expo Asia on June 23.

“Investing During Bear Markets — How To Not Lose Your Money In Crypto” is the topic of our presentation, and I will be on stage. Follow me on Twitter for updates on the event.

Now, onto the newsletter.

Market update

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $20,490 after hitting a low of $17,664 during the weekend. The market dominance of the asset is down by -2.90% as more investors are transferring their funds to other cryptocurrencies.

At the time of writing the total weekly ROI of the whole crypto market is -3.79% with the total Mcap of crypto shredding an additional $58B in the last week.

This week Solana is the largest winner in the top ten crypto assets with +21.04% in 7D.
