Why Is Crypto Down Today? – June 18, 2025

Why Is Crypto Down Today? – June 18, 2025

The crypto market is down again today. Just two of the top 100 coins have recorded increases over the past 24 hours. Moreover, the cryptocurrency market capitalization has decreased by another 3.9% to $3.38 trillion. The total crypto trading volume is at $112 billion, similar to the levels seen yesterday. TLDR: The crypto market continues decreasing amid massive geopolitical shifts; Bitcoin fell below the $105,000 level, now trading at $104,971; Ethereum fell from the daily high to the intraday low of $2,464, recuperating since; Canada approved the first XRP ETF in North America; ”Stablecoins are actively becoming a foundational component of the global financial system”; US spot BTC ETFs recorded $216.48 million in inflow, spot ETH ETFs took in $11.09 million; The dip is likely to be affected by the US Federal Reserve meeting and the US involvement in Israel’s attack on Iran. Crypto Winners & Losers All top 10 coins per market cap are down today. Bitcoin (BTC) fell by 1.6% and below the $105,000 level, now trading at $104,971. Also, Ethereum (ETH) has decreased by 2%, changing hands at $2,530 at the time of writing. XRP (XRP) saw the highest decrease in this category of 3.6% to the price of $2.15. It’s followed by Solana (SOL)’s 3.5% to $147. The smallest drop is 1.1% by Tron (TRX) , which currently changes hands at $0.2742. Moreover, only two of the top 100 coins have increased today. Kaia (KAIA) is up 6.1% to $0.1644, while Nexo (NEXO) appreciated 0.6% to $1.23. At the same time, Sky (SKY) recorded the highest decrease today, falling 8.8% to the price of $0.08404. Speaking of XRP, Canada approved the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) for this asset in North America, called the Purpose XRP ETF (XRPP) . Additionally, the Evolve XRP ETF (XRP) will start trading on 18 June as well. June 18th. TSX. Get ready.

This is the first time the Senate has advanced a regulatory framework specifically for stablecoins. Now, the bill moves to the House of Representatives for a vote. The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act — landmark stablecoin legislation that provides regulatory clarity, enhances consumer protection, and extends U.S. dollar dominance online. Thanks to President Trump for his leadership on crypto & @SenatorHagerty for authoring the bill. — David Sacks (@davidsacks47) June 17, 2025 Liat Shetret, Vice President of Global Policy and Regulation at blockchain analytics firm Elliptic , commented that the US approving its first major stablecoin-focused federal legislation is “a pivotal step in shaping the country’s digital asset future and addressing oversight of the rapidly growing digital asset ecosystem.” Shetret further argued that, “Stablecoins are actively becoming a foundational component of the global financial system. By advancing the GENIUS legislation and similar bills, the Senate is recognizing its role in providing financial stability and protecting consumers—shaping legislation to secure the nation’s interests by moving this bill forward.” Lawmakers from the two major parties have engaged in months-long negotiations and have “worked to strengthen the bill.” They’ve addressed critical concerns around anti-money laundering, national security, and systemic risk, Shetret says. He added that “it’s clear that robust consumer protections and market integrity safeguards were central to driving approval, and the GENIUS Act benefited from strong nonpartisan support.” Why is Crypto Down Today: Levels & Events to Watch Next At the time of writing, BTC trades at $104,971. This is down from the intraday high of $106,795. The coin failed to reach the $107,000 level, or to hold the $106,000 and $105,000 levels. As it broke the support of $106,196, the next one to watch is $104,633. It’s currently far from the ATH of $111,814, but another rally would bring it close to it, if not above. Moreover, Bitcoin may see short-term losses of 10%-20%, should the US enter Israel’s war against Iran, TradingView noted . Investors tend to seek safe havens during conflicts. Bitcoin Price Chart.

Of this amount, BlackRock is responsible for $639.19 million, while the others saw outflows, bringing the daily total down.

The cumulative total net inflow is $3.89 billion. Source: SoSoValue Investors in all markets are currently focused on two major geopolitical and macroeconomic events. On the one side, investors are reacting to Iran’s attack on Iran, but are also monitoring the US’s growing involvement in the war – which is bound to affect markets across the board. The other element is today’s US Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates.

Both the crypto and the stock markets decreased over the last day. The S&P 500 went down by 0.84%, the Nasdaq-100 decreased by 1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.7%. The stock market may have recovered from the initial Israel’s attack on Iran, but now it’s focused on the US involvement in this war. Is this dip sustainable? Given the current shaky geopolitical and macroeconomic stages, the dip may continue over the short term. Though another rally is not out of the question, fueled by regulatory developments, additional decreases are possible.

MEV Bots Now Clog Blockchains Faster Than They Can Scale, Flashbots Warns – Is Raw Throughput Obsolete?

MEV Bots Now Clog Blockchains Faster Than They Can Scale, Flashbots Warns – Is Raw Throughput Obsolete?

Flashbots, a leading research group focused on MEV ( Maximal Extractable Value ), has issued a new warning that spam from MEV bots is quickly becoming the main barrier to blockchain scalability. In a thesis published this week, Flashbots said that “MEV has become the dominant limit to scaling blockchains,” pointing to rising inefficiencies across Ethereum rollups and Solana. The group stated that current scaling efforts by major blockchains are being neutralized by increasingly dominant MEV-driven activity. Flashbots Exposes Scaling Illusion on Rollups As layer-1 and layer-2 networks race to boost throughput, the report finds that wasteful on-chain activity from MEV bots is consuming a growing share of available capacity. On Solana, MEV bots are now responsible for 40% of all blockspace . On Ethereum’s OP-Stack rollups like Base and OP Mainnet, spam bots account for over half of all gas usage while paying just a fraction of the network’s fees. Failed transactions consume a disproportionate share of network Compute Units (CUs) relative to the fees they generate. Arb bots are a key factor: their failed txs make up ~40% of all CUs used but only ~7% of total fees paid pic.twitter.com/RJl2O65l2n — chris (@chrischang43) May 17, 2025 The report noted that between November 2024 and February 2025, Base added 11 million gas units per second of throughput, nearly triple the Ethereum mainnet. However, most of that additional capacity was devoured by bots running repetitive, low-value trades. This activity creates artificially high fees for users and renders technical scaling efforts less effective. Flashbots introduced a new metric, “effective gas throughput,” to show the difference. Despite Base increasing its total gas capacity by 11 million gas per second over several months, the throughput available to real users barely changed. Almost all new capacity was eaten up by bots. The report identified spam as a specific kind of wasteful behavior, mostly DEX queries that never result in token transfers. These could be done off-chain, but instead they clog networks and raise the computational load on nodes. On Base, bots were responsible for 56% of gas usage and 26% of L1 data availability usage, but paid just 14% of fees. Spam is also driving up user fees. Flashbots explained that despite technical progress in reducing costs on rollups, fees stay artificially high due to bots continuously bidding for blockspace. “The promise of scaling is to drive fees near zero,” the report stated. “But what we’re seeing is a fee floor created by spam—not user demand.” The report also showed that this spam is highly concentrated. Just two searchers are behind over 80% of all spam on Base. According to Flashbots, the structure of the current market makes spam more profitable than participating in a fair auction, leading to inefficient and wasteful outcomes. “Spam bots are flooding blocks, not to serve users, but to extract MEV,” the report said. “It’s a structural issue, not just a technical one.” Flashbots Proposes MEV Auction Fix Amid Rising Exploits Flashbots has proposed a new framework to address growing concerns around MEV exploitation in Ethereum and other blockchain networks. Rather than relying on gas-heavy spam auctions, Flashbots suggests a shift toward explicit MEV auctions, allowing searchers to bid directly for transaction ordering rights. This, they argue, would reduce network congestion and wasted fees while preserving efficiency for traders and validators. The organization is also advocating for “programmable privacy,” a model that allows bots to view live blockchain state and plan profitable trades without the ability to front-run users or leak sensitive data. Flashbots is currently testing this concept using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), which allow secure transaction backrunning without the back-run transactions to abuse. “We’ve proven this on Ethereum L1,” Flashbots wrote in its latest report. “And we’re actively adapting it for L2s.” The proposal comes at a key time as concerns over MEV-related abuse continue to mount. According to EigenPhi data, more than 33,000 users were victims of sandwich attacks in March 2025, orchestrated by just 101 entities. These attacks now account for nearly $1 billion in weekly trading volume on Ethereum-based DEXs. In 2023, a single MEV searcher earned over $1 million in one day using sandwich attacks on Ethereum. On that day alone, the address accounted for 7% of total gas usage across the network. The same operator continued to profit into 2024 with improved strategies. The issue isn’t limited to Ethereum. On Solana, a well-known MEV bot named “arsc” exploited users through similar tactics, generating around $30 million in just two months. MEV allows validators to extract profits by reordering or inserting transactions. While it can boost DeFi efficiency, it also drives up fees and undermines fairness, especially for beginners unfamiliar with blockchain mechanics. Critics warn that unchecked MEV practices could deter user adoption and erode trust in decentralized finance .
