The market starts a new day in a sideways trend. Bitcoin (BTC) is fluctuating within a narrow range, starting near the $63,982 mark (approximately 4,745,459 rubles per coin). The daily low was $63,759, and the high was $65,544. Ethereum (ETH) is also showing a flat trend, trading at $1,726 (roughly 128,085 rubles). Among the top 10 by market capitalization, Tron shows the best performance over the past 24 hours and week (+1.53% and +4.80%, respectively).

In the top 100, the leader in daily growth is DeXe (+67.02%), and over the week, Aerodrome Finance (+36.22%). The worst result for the day is Humanity (-36.23%), and for the week, Audiera (-57.65%).
TurboFlow: A New Player in Asian Prediction Markets
Hong Kong-based platform TurboFlow raised $6 million in a seed round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Susquehanna Crypto and Digital Currency Group. The project positions itself as an "Asian Kalshi," filling the niche between retail users and institutional liquidity in the region. Founder Tony He, a former co-founder of Amber Group, notes that prediction markets are developed in the West but remain undervalued in Asia.
Over more than six months of beta testing, the platform attracted over 15,000 users and processed over $19 billion in trading volume. Interestingly, the fastest-growing segment turned out to be prediction markets, not traditional perpetual futures. This indicates a growing demand for a new generation of derivatives.
Ethlabs: Former Ethereum Foundation Employees Prepare the Network for an Institutional Supercycle
Five former senior researchers from the Ethereum Foundation, together with companies Bitmine, Sharplink, and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin, launched the non-profit organization Ethlabs. Its mission is to prepare Ethereum for widespread institutional use as stablecoins, tokenized assets, and autonomous AI commerce move onto the blockchain.
The launch comes amid an internal crisis at the Ethereum Foundation: the foundation holds only 0.16% of all ether, continues to sell off assets, and its executive director left last week. One former employee warned of a "slowly brewing funding crisis." In my view, the creation of Ethlabs is a timely step that could reverse the negative narrative surrounding ecosystem governance.
Enso: Access to 500+ Tokenized Assets
Swiss Web3 platform Enso launched an application providing access to over 500 tokenized assets: stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, SpaceX), ETFs, government bonds, commodities, and stablecoins. The service is integrated with xStocks, Ondo Finance, and Porto from Anchorage Digital.
Enso CEO Connor Howe emphasizes that demand for tokenized US stocks is particularly high among European investors—primarily due to the possibility of 24/7 trading, which is unavailable on traditional platforms. This is further confirmation that the tokenization of real-world assets is becoming one of the main growth drivers for the crypto industry.
My view: The morning of June 23 shows that the market is consolidating, but infrastructure projects are actively preparing for the next cycle. The "tokenization + AI" combination deserves special attention—these sectors are likely to become catalysts for a new bull rally.
