Bitcoin ETF Boom, Hack Dodged, $225M Scam Busted: Crypto's Wild Ride
The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.
Hey crypto fam, it’s Crypto Willy here with your jam-packed rundown of all things Bitcoin and crypto from the week leading up to June 28, 2025. Buckle up, because it’s been a wild ride—IPOs, ETF rebounds, hacks, state drama, and a few plot twists you won’t want to miss.
Let’s kick off with the big institutional shakeup. June saw major IPO announcements and massive fundraising rounds, but what really had everyone talking was the rebound in Bitcoin ETF inflows after a sluggish May and early June. BlackRock’s IBIT led the way, powering a streak of eight straight days of net inflows starting June 10. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs stacked up a whopping $2.4 billion in that time, with BlackRock’s fund alone racking up $46.9 billion since January and a titanic $125 billion in assets under management. Ethereum ETFs kept pace, pulling in $1.4 billion over 19 days—though their momentum wasn’t quite as explosive as Bitcoin’s, it’s still a sign big money hasn’t lost its appetite for crypto exposure.
On the legislative front, Senator Tim Scott and Senator Cynthia Lummis are gunning to get digital asset market structure rules in place by September 30, with Bo Hines chiming in from the White House. This comes alongside state governments accelerating their own crypto policies while D.C. gridlock drags on. Notably, a new bill will only allow investment in digital assets with a market cap north of $500 billion—funneling fresh capital directly toward heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while smaller tokens may find themselves sidelined for now.
Price action? There’s been some turbulence. Bitcoin slipped just under $107,000 USDT, down about half a percent on the day, while Ethereum dipped below $2,400 USDT with a similar 1.5% drop. Still, Bitcoin is up nearly 58% year-on-year, and that monthly RSI inching into the overbought zone has all the bull market veterans buzzing about a possible blow-off top. As always, when Bitcoin’s in its final sprint, savvy eyes turn to altcoins—because they traditionally pop off hardest during the last phase of a BTC bull run.
Now, drama time: security. WazirX narrowly dodged liquidation after a $234 million hack, which could’ve been catastrophic, but quick maneuvering kept the exchange afloat. On the flip side, Bakkt Holdings is making moves with a $1 billion shelf offering filed with the SEC, eyeing expansion and potentially some Bitcoin buys.
We also saw one of the biggest fraud recoveries ever. Coinbase teamed up with the U.S. Secret Service to claw back $225 million in USDT from a massive pig butchering scam network, helping over 130 victims. Tether froze the tokens, then burned and reissued them straight into government hands—a rare flex for the good guys.
And for the culture: Trump Media’s board, with CEO Devin Nunes at the helm, just greenlit a $400 million buyback, signaling major confidence behind Truth Social and Truth+.
So whether you’re an ETF watcher, altcoin chaser, or just here for the regulatory soap opera, this week proves crypto’s still running at full throttle. Stay sharp, stay safe, and I’ll catch you on the next block—Crypto Willy signing off!
