In a June 6 interview with Nathalie Brunell, macro analyst Luke Gromen said Bitcoin's inability to push decisively higher may be influenced by derivatives that can absorb buying pressure without requiring spot BTC purchases.

Ondo (ONDO) has retraced from a May push toward the $0.47 swing high back to the $0.34 area, dropping 5.5% over the past 24 hours and more than 16.9% over the prior week.

Commentators said many businesses are relocating select functions rather than fully exiting Singapore, where higher-value roles often remain.

Grayscale says bitcoin's slide to a new cycle low below $60,000 has pushed BTC under its long-term valuation average.
