Crypto Roundup - June 26

Bitcoin is maintaining a strong position above $107,000 as the market anticipates Friday’s massive $9.4 billion options expiry, with analysts closely watching the $102,000 max pain level that could influence short-term volatility. In regulatory developments, Dinari has made headlines by becoming the first company to obtain a U.S. license to offer tokenized stocks—potentially opening the door to a broader adoption of real-world assets on-chain. Meanwhile, the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues to drag on, as a federal judge denied both parties’ motions for summary judgment, signaling that the high-profile case is headed toward a full trial unless a settlement is reached.
