Labs
The decentralized exchange SushiSwap (COIN:SUSHIUSD) has
announced the transition of its management to a new format called

responsiveness. Launched on June 11, Sushi Labs will manage the

PancakeSwap introduces gas-free transactions with Zyfi partnership
PancakeSwap (COIN:CAKEUSD), a popular decentralized exchange
(DEX), has significantly enhanced accessibility to DeFi by
integrating with Zyfi in the zkSync Era, enabling gas-free
transactions. This innovation eliminates the need for users to pay
gas fees, which were previously a significant barrier, especially
for newcomers who needed to acquire Ether first. Now, users can pay
fees using a variety of ERC-20 tokens, making transactions simpler
and less costly. This change not only improves the user experience
but also may increase the adoption of DEXs by making them more
competitive with centralized exchanges, offering a more
user-friendly interface and smoother trading processes.
Bitcoin slides below $67,000 ahead of inflation data
Bitcoin (COIN:BTCUSD) fell to $66,485 in the past 24 hours,
marking the lowest value of the month, in anticipation of a crucial
inflation report in the U.S. The 4.4% drop on Tuesday reflects
market tension ahead of the imminent release of macroeconomic data
and statements from the Federal Reserve.
Fernando Pereira, an analyst at Bitget, highlighted concerns
about the correlation between stock market behavior, represented by
the S&P 500, and Bitcoin’s price. “Something that is starting
to worry about Bitcoin’s price right now is the wedge formation
that the S&P 500 is making, with strong divergence in the RSI.
If this wedge breaks down, BTC could plummet, and what will
determine whether this break happens or not is the new Fed interest
rate, to be declared on Wednesday,” Pereira noted.
Traders are now watching critical supports, with some pointing
to the possibility of buying the dip. Meanwhile, the increase in
open contracts suggests a potential escalation in market
volatility.
