A positive June for NCI, crypto volume recovers, and CBDC’s take off

The Hash Insider

The Nasdaq Crypto IndexTM finished the month on a positive note, up 0.9% with ether (ETH) leading the way with a 0.9% increase while bitcoin (BTC) remained relatively flat with a 0.1% increase. The NCITM ended June up 9.5%, led mostly by BTC’s 12.2% performance. June started off negative over news of SEC suing Coinbase and Binance, but the NCITM recovered toward the end of the month after BlackRock and other large institutional investors filed for spot bitcoin ETFs in the US. The NCITM managed to finish the month positive despite a slight downturn after the SEC described the ETF filings as inadequate.

The news pushed the price of BTC down $1,000, before it recovered shortly thereafter. Despite the drop, this could be interpreted as a potentially favorable development since, instead of an outright denial, it offers clear instructions to the filers regarding the specific amendments they should make to their filings.
