Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs suffered their worst month on record with over four billion dollars in outflows during June. Plus, Taiwan passes comprehensive crypto regulation, Ethereum splits into three power centers as new nonprofits launch, and analyst warnings that Bitcoin's bear market may be nearing its final phase-with a potential twenty-five percent correction still possible before recovery.
