Hey crypto fam, Crypto Willy here with your latest scoop on all things blockchain, tokens, and digital markets from the past week leading up to June 28, 2025. It’s been a classic rollercoaster week, so buckle up as I take you through the high-voltage action, big movers, and what’s got traders buzzing on Crypto Street.

Let’s kick off with the big headline: the crypto market staged an impressive surge earlier in the week, with NEM’s XEM token rocketing up by 37.9% to hit $0.0067. That’s not a typo—XEM pulled a classic comeback, driving its market cap to almost $62 million. The buzz around XEM drew fresh eyes and heavy trading volume, making it the standout performer and giving hodlers plenty to celebrate. Right behind, Funtoken (FUN) spiked by 31.3%, matching XEM’s price but outpacing in market cap at $72.3 million. Aergo kept the momentum rolling with a 15.4% gain, closing at $0.14. Even Flock, Quai Network, Magic, and Liquity (LQTY) delivered anywhere from 7% to 13% pops—talk about a broad rally where altcoins grabbed the spotlight.

Now, all eyes stay glued to the king—Bitcoin. Satoshi’s original has kept its swagger, holding above the $100,000 mark for the seventh straight week. That’s the longest streak above six figures in BTC’s history, a feat that’s got whales and newbies alike nodding approval. Just a few days ago, Bitcoin clocked in at $108,000 on Binance, up nearly 3% in 24 hours. This steady climb suggests bulls aren’t done yet, even if the short-term turbulence keeps us guessing.

Ethereum’s ride this week was a bit bumpier. Ether surged 7.3% to $2,345 at midweek—its biggest one-day rise since mid-May. But it couldn’t keep the momentum, dropping below $2,400 by June 25. Some traders saw this as a classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” play, while others are closely watching stock market ripples. The synergy between Wall Street and crypto is alive and well: when U.S. stocks dipped after the CPI data drop, both Bitcoin and Ethereum followed suit. Bitcoin slid over 1% to $63,245, and Ethereum mirrored the move— just as Coinbase stock ticked down 2.1% to $221.50. The takeaway? What happens on the Nasdaq or S&P 500 isn’t staying on Wall Street anymore; it’s spilling over into crypto.

If you’ve got your eye on ETFs, here’s something to watch: Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $105 million for the week, signaling that big money is treading a bit more cautiously. Still, sharp traders see these dips as prime zones for accumulating blue-chip coins like BTC and ETH, especially with post-inflation numbers in play.

That’s your weekly rundown from the digital frontier. Markets are moving fast, with fresh stories unfolding every hour. Hang tight, stay sharp, and remember: in crypto, patience is a virtue and volatility’s your best friend—if you play it right. Until next week, this is Crypto Willy signing off.
