General Business News

BTC clawed back much of last week's washout, climbing from a low near $61k to roughly $66.5k by June 15. The turn leaned on two mid-week events: SpaceX's record $1.75tn Nasdaq IPO on June 12, and a US-Iran peace agreement two days later that pulled oil lower and lifted risk assets across the board. The listing reached into crypto on two fronts. On Solana, Backpack and Sunrise launched SPCX, a tokenized SpaceX share backed 1:1 by real stock. On Hyperliquid, SpaceX futures market drew more than $233m in volume, one tailwind behind HYPE's climb toward $73. Still, the Fear & Greed Index only crawled from the low teens to around 24, holding deep in fear.

Gross volume came in at $4.81m, down -64.5% from the biggest week the platform has put together in months, with daily volume averaging $687k. Last week's $13.55m was built almost entirely on users fleeing the early-June crash, and with BTC recovering and the panic settling, far fewer of them needed to reach for the exits. User shifting made up the bulk at $3.98m despite incurring a -55.3% decline, with liquidity shifts adding a further $831k behind it. All three top pairs pointed the same way - BTC into stables - led by BTC/USDT(ERC-20) at $310k, then BTC/USDC(ERC-20) at $193k and BTC/USDT(TRC-20) at $192k, bunched far tighter than last week's lone $857k leader and a sign users were still selling BTC into its bounce, albeit, less aggressively.

Count behaved more characteristically and followed the general volume trend but with a less dramatic tone - this week’s total eased to 6,798 (-19.6%) for a daily average of 971. The difference between the two buckets came down to size, with the average shift more than halving from roughly $1,603 to around $708, settling back near the late-May trough of $674. The pullback was almost entirely a top-end affair, the $50k+ band dropping from 45 shifts to 7 and the $10k+ band from 324 to 111, unwinding the exact surge that defined last week's report. Beneath them the base barely moved, sub-$100 shifts coming in at 4,465, the second-highest tally of the past two months behind only last week, so the everyday activity that runs the platform held firm even as the heavyweights eased off.

BTC held its place at the top but took the steepest fall among the majors, down a substantial -72.5% to $2.03m and handing back almost all of last week's $7.37m. The two sides of its shift moved at different speeds, with users selling BTC down to $1.09m (-59.9%) while users buying fell harder to $510k (-70.0%), so deposits ran a little over two-to-one against settlements, and the buyers who rushed in last week retreated quicker than the sellers. The pullback was near-universal, with eleven of the top 12 coins ending lower and only LTC bucking it, more than doubling to $330k (+162%). The steepest cuts still landed on the largest names, though, with smaller coins like L-BTC (-13%) and SOL (-23%) giving up far less ground.

The same four stablecoins filled out the rest of the top 5, three of them still catching the action from BTC being sold - USDT(TRC20) ended at $1.13m (-65.0%), USDT(ERC-20) at $1.11m (-44.2%) and USDC(ERC-20) at $822k (-75.4%), with each settling more than it took in. USDT(ERC-20) weathered it best, falling -44.2% and running the most lopsided of the three, with user settlements $622k against just $237k deposited. L-USDT, the record-breaking asset behind last week's dip-buying, saw that role fade fastest, as its $748k (-72.4%) total saw deposits down -74.4% to just $364k.

Alternate networks are often where SideShift generates significant volume when activity runs hot, but that impact cuts both ways. Combined, they outgrew the Ethereum network on the way up a week ago and shed far more on the way down this time, with the group down -61.6% to $2.60m while the Ethereum network proved more robust, sliding just -24.6% to $5.47m. Tron remained the largest player among them all at $1.21m despite losing -65%, its lead over Solana narrowing from more than threefold to barely double as Solana's $606k (-40.4%) proved stickier. Base and BSC fell hardest of all, down by -82.2% to $131k and -73.2% to $228k, the two chains that had run up the steepest a week earlier. Avalanche alone moved higher, up +62.2% to $69k off of a small and erratic base.

Affiliate News

Our top affiliates accounted for $1.21m between them, down -63% for the period. The two leaders kept their grip even as the totals receded, the top affiliate falling -58.3% to $434k and the runner-up -68.6% to $274k, the pair still holding the same ~58% of the top cluster they did a week ago. Third place was the one to change hands, with last week's holder collapsing some -90% and falling out of the top three altogether, its place taken by an affiliate at $70k (-51.5%).

By count, the affiliate that led on volume was also the busiest on the platform, at 560 shifts (-8.5%). The steady behaviour as compared to its volume resulted in its average ticket shrinking from roughly $1,700 to $775, mirroring the platform-wide drop in shift size. What rose, against everything else falling, was the top affiliates share of the total - their combined -63% drop came in just shy of the platform's own -64.5%, ever so slightly nudging the top affiliates proportion of the total to up by +1% to finish at 25.2% of the week’s total volume.

That’s all for now - thanks for reading and happy shifting.
