XRP fell to a 15-week low of $1.18 before rebounding to around $1.20–$1.21, after a break of the $1.25 support level on 205.7 million XRP in volume. The token was described as trading in the $1.21–$1.26 range, down 2% over 24 hours and 7% over seven days, with key resistance cited at $1.32, $1.36, and $1.38.

edgeX said the EDGE token sank as much as 71% within hours on June 2 and that reviews by exchanges and market makers found no signs of coordinated manipulation.

On June 1, 2026, Japan put new Financial Services Agency rules into effect to recognize qualified foreign stablecoins as electronic payment instruments, while the ruling LDP's blockchain panel urged wider use of yen-denominated stablecoins for Asian cross-border payments. The shift comes as the global stablecoin market is over $240 billion and remains heavily dollar-centric, even as local players such as JPYC and bank-backed initiatives target large-scale yen issuance and settlement.

Trezor and Tropic Square disclosed a hardware weakness affecting the TROPIC01 secure element used in the Trezor Safe 7 after Ledger's Donjon team found it during an audit. The issue involves bypassing signature verification via lab-grade laser fault injection, but Trezor says private keys and user funds are not exposed because the chip is only one of three independent security layers. Tropic Square is producing a revised chip batch, while existing devices cannot be fixed through software updates.

Dogecoin (DOGE) fell more than 5% on Wednesday as selling pressure persisted, but Alphractal says price is hovering near a historical accumulation area around $0.10–$0.11 based on its CVDD Channel model.

CryptoQuant data published Tuesday shows short-term Bitcoin holders moved 53,800 BTC to exchanges within a 24-hour period, and all of it was transferred at a loss.

CryptoQuant said the one-day spike signals stress, while follow-through over the next 48 to 72 hours would matter for confirmation.
