Today’s crypto news to know
Bitcoin rebounds following US-Iran peace agreement
Bitcoin climbed to its highest level in nearly two weeks, trading around US$65,600 after the US and Iran announced a diplomatic agreement to end military hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Bitcoin jumped more than 3 percent, lifting Ethereum by 3.7 percent to $1,731 and driving gains across alternative assets like Solana and XRP. The rally reverses weeks of market contraction that previously dragged Bitcoin below the US$60,000 threshold.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!,” Trump posted via social media.
The breakthrough is mediated by Pakistan with backing from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, which also accompanies an official signing scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland.
Japan’s Big Three megabanks to launch unified Yen stablecoin
Three of Japan’s most important financial groups—MUFG Bank, Mizuho Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation—have formed a joint council to co-issue a yen-backed cryptocurrency stablecoin by March 2027.
The banking giants are committing shared infrastructure to deploy the asset under a formalized trust agreement layout.
The initiative operates directly under the Financial Services Agency’s (FSA) Payment Innovation Project to leverage a combined US$7 trillion corporate asset base, creating the largest institutional stablecoin network in Asia to date.
Under updated compliance mandates that took full effect on June 13, 2026, the megabank stablecoin will be fully reserved through a mix of cash and short-term Japanese government bonds held in trust.
Exchanges scrap tokenized SpaceX offerings
Cryptocurrency exchanges Binance, Bybit, and Bitget were forced to abruptly cancel and refund their tokenized SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPXC) pre-IPO campaigns after infrastructure provider xStocks failed to deliver the underlying shares.
To soften the blow, Binance announced it is distributing US$1 million worth of actual SpaceX shares via its new “bStocks” platform to affected participants, while Bybit is issuing manual interest rewards for the capital held during the campaign.
An xStocks spokesperson blamed overwhelming retail demand for the allocation failure, noting that its “SPCXx” tokens were strictly designed to provide price exposure rather than direct corporate ownership.
SpaceX shares ultimately debuted at an initial offering price of US$135 before rapidly skyrocketing more than 26 percent to change hands at US$172.31.
The public listing drove the company’s corporate valuation past US$2.2 trillion, reportedly minting Elon Musk as the world’s first trillionaire in the process.
