Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has a message for market speculators predicting a Bitcoin crash. His message came as bulls have struggled to drive the BTC price past the $109,500 resistance, with traders showing little interest at this point. Furthermore, expectations of a BTC crash to $90,000 are on the rise. Robert Kiyosaki
The Trump family’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) continues to make headlines, extending its reach in the crypto arena. Recent developments follow key announcements during Token2049 in Dubai.
Eric Trump made interesting revelations during the event, including integrations involving USD1 stablecoin.
World Liberty Financial During 2049: What Users Need To Know
Speaking at the Token2049 event, Eric Trump announced the integration of World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin with Tron.
Trump’s DeFi venture launched the USD1 stablecoin only recently, commissioning it to promote dollar dominance. Short-term US treasuries and cash equivalents back the stablecoin.
Notwithstanding this integration, USD1 will be deployed as a TRC-20 token on the Tron blockchain. This would allow USD1 to leverage Tron’s high-throughput, low-cost blockchain for transactions, smart contracts, and DeFi applications.
USD1 Stablecoin To Close $2 billion MGX-Binance Deal
Another interesting revelation during Token2049 is that World Liberty Financial’s USD1 is the choice stablecoin for MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance.
“MGX, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, invests $2 billion in Binance for a minority stake. The transaction will be 100% in crypto (stablecoins), marking it the largest investment transaction done in crypto to date. This is also the first institutional investment Binance has taken. Onwards, Build!” wrote Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance founder and former CEO.
With USD1 ascending to become the choice stablecoin in this landmark investment, it points to growing adoption and legitimacy for the token.
The investment will see MGX secure a stake in Binance, becoming one of the first institutional investments in the world’s largest exchange.
Notably, this revelation comes only days after World Liberty Financial executives met with Changpeng Zhao in Abu Dhabi. They reportedly discussed standardizing the crypto industry and boosting global adoption efforts.
Meanwhile, amidst these revelations around the DeFi venture, data shows that USD1 stablecoin has exceeded $2 billion in market capitalization metrics.
Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead. Grab a coffee and brace for impact as MicroStrategy (now Strategy) makes another bold move into Bitcoin (BTC), acquiring nearly $532 million worth and pushing its total holdings close to 600,000 BTC.
With the company now nearing a historic inclusion in the S&P 500 and its year-to-date (YTD) Bitcoin yield hitting nearly 20%, this could mark a pivotal moment in the growth of corporate crypto adoption.
Crypto News of the Day: Strategy Acquires 4,980 BTC, Eyes S&P 500 Entry
MicroStrategy has deepened its conviction in Bitcoin with a fresh purchase of 4,980 BTC for $531.9 million. The purchase, made at an average price of $106,801 per coin, brings the company’s holdings to 597,325 BTC.
According to the firm’s executive chair, Michael Saylor, these were acquired at a cumulative cost of $42.4 billion. With a blended average of $70,982 per Bitcoin, this brings Strategy’s YTD Bitcoin yield to 19.7%.
Strategy has acquired 4,980 BTC for ~$531.9 million at ~$106,801 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 19.7% YTD 2025. As of 6/29/2025, we hodl 597,325 $BTC acquired for ~$42.40 billion at ~$70,982 per bitcoin. $MSTR$STRK$STRF$STRDhttps://t.co/xvWnSkfukS
It also marks a key milestone in what may become the biggest traditional finance (TradFi) disruption yet: Strategy’s potential inclusion in the S&P 500.
BeInCrypto reported in a recent US Crypto News publication that MicroStrategy had a 91% chance of qualifying for inclusion in the S&P 500. The report cited insights from data analyst Jeff Walton, who said this wager hinged on Bitcoin’s price not falling more than 10% before June 30.
More closely, Walton pegged the critical support level at $95,240, enough to keep Strategy’s quarterly earnings in positive territory and meet the S&P’s requirement of four consecutive profitable quarters.
So far, that scenario is playing out. With just hours remaining in the quarter, Walton’s model puts the probability of a disqualifying 10% drop at just 1.8%.
“This is the first positive FASB Fair Value Accounting period for $MSTR’s BTC holdings, and $MSTR’s first earnings period > $500M Net Income in company history,” Walton posted on X.
If successful, Strategy would become the second crypto-linked company to enter the S&P 500 in 2025, following Coinbase’s historicaddition in May. But not everyone is cheering.
“This event will cause TradFi brains to go into full meltdown… This will be the most hated rally of all time,” Walton warned.
From skeptics questioning BTC-linked earnings to doubters highlighting the lack of cash flow, Strategy’s rise continues to provoke debate over what qualifies as sustainable corporate performance in crypto.
A Bull Market Built on Debt? Risks of the Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Model
Strategy’s S&P 500 bid also comes as a wider wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption reshapes the digital asset investment sector.
A report from Breed.vc notes that 199 entities now collectively hold over 3 million BTC, worth approximately $315 billion. Based on the report, 147 of them are private or public companies.
While the proliferation of Bitcoin-holding companies may appear bullish for BTC, it introduces a new layer of systemic fragility.
Strategy survived the brutal 2022–23 bear market, but only barely. Now, an extended downturn—especially one coinciding with maturing debt—could force liquidations. Such an outcome would trigger what analysts call a reflexive death spiral.
A falling MNAV erodes the company’s stock value, tightening access to capital, and potentially forcing BTC sales that drive prices even lower.
Smaller players are especially vulnerable. Without MicroStrategy’s scale, legacy revenue, or institutional inflows, these firms often face higher leverage ratios and worse financing terms. Should Bitcoin dip sharply, the resulting stress could cause cascading failures.
That said, contagion risk remains limited as most funding is equity-based, not debt-driven. Still, the few who overleverage in pursuing rapid BTC accumulation could set off domino effects.

Here’s a summary of more US crypto news to follow today:
On-chain data suggests that Bitcoin price recovery may soon face headwinds. Rising sell-side pressure from miners and long-term holders (LTHs) threatens to correct the king coin’s recent gains.
Solana DEX Jupiter: Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume today surpassed that of Ethereum with 14% weekly gain. In the past 24 hours, Solana’s DEX volume has reached $2.509 blion, with Ethereum still standing at $1.895 billion.
Among the DEXs leading this growth are Orca, PumpFun, Raydium, Meteora, with Orca leading the pack with a 15% increase in trading volume.
This news came in as Jupiter, another dominant 2021-built Solana DEX, launched an advanced version of its platform, Jupiter Pro.
In a bid to maintain its pivotal role, it has introduced new featured and better trading experience.
What’s New in Solana DEX Jupiter’s New Platform?
While platforms like Orca, Raydium, and Meteora continue to operate as independent DEXs, their individual trading volumes are significantly lower than Jupiter’s aggregated volume.
Solana DEX Jupiter’s role as an aggregator enables it to offer superior liquidity and better pricing. This attracts a larger user base and higher trading activity.
Now in its pro version, it has slashed down the gas fees by 10x. The reduced gas fees by 10x will also prove to attractive for users.
It can also be a major advantage for traders looking to make frequent trades with lower costs compared to Ethereum-based tokens. This will ultimately end up in making Solana-based tokens potentially more profitable to trade in 2025.
Other notable new tools and features in Jupiter Pro include:
It includes new token page/terminal for better token analysis of Solana coins.
Users can choose between SOL or USDC as their default currency. It provides new momentum metrics like Net Buy Volume and Net Buyers.
Further, it has also provided community metrics so that investors can make decisions based on the ongoing narratives/sentiments in their community.
Solana DEX Jupiter has also introduced the new option of Quick Buy which will allow investors to trade instantly with a default amount. Jupiter Pro’s ultra mode which it has enabled in Quick Buys and in the token terminal, will also provide the MEV protection to users.
The MEV protection ensures that professional traders can execute trades without the risk of malicious actors exploiting transaction reordering for profit, thus, creating fairer trading conditions.
Notably, in January 2025, Jupiter DEX experienced a substantial surge in trading activity, with its monthly trading volume reaching $184 billion. This growth was influenced by factors such as the launch of new tokens like the Trump memecoin, which attracted a large number of traders to the platform.
This dominance is also attributed to Jupiter’s efficient liquidity aggregation from over 29 protocols, including Orca, Raydium, Phoenix, Lifinity, and Meteora. This together contributes to nearly 90% of Jupiter’s trading volume.
This news also come in as MANTRA (OM) Token price looks to rebound after 90% crash.
Growing DeFi on Solana
Solana DEX Jupiter is launching its pro version at a time when Solana’s DEX and Defi ecosystem continues to grow.
This growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) on Solana in 2025 will likely drive more demand for Solana-based tokens like SOL, USDC, and SRM. And as the Solana community deliberates and implements a new network upgrade, this might also bode well for SOL price in Q2 2025.
Further, as decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and lending platforms on Solana grow, tokens like RAY (Raydium) and MNGO (Mango Markets) can see higher trading volumes.
Solana DEXs
Nonetheless, whether you’re a casual trader or a professional investor, Jupiter Pro promises to be an exciting development in the world of DeFi. Now it remains to be seen how investors and traders adopt to this new interface of Solana DEX Jupiter.
