The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

Hey friends, Crypto Willy here with your essential rundown from The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show for the week leading up to June 3, 2025. Let’s dive right into the latest trends, wild swings, and predictions that every digital asset investor needs to know.

Bitcoin, as usual, has been the headline star. We kicked off the week with BTC holding steady above $105,000, a psychologically crucial barrier that’s been underpinning bullish sentiment all year. Even though the global crypto market cap saw a slight dip to $3.27 trillion, investor sentiment held neutral, according to the latest Fear & Greed Index reading at 57. That cooling in trading volume means the market’s consolidating, but don’t be fooled—underneath, whales and institutions have been accumulating, as seen by exchange reserves plumbing new all-time lows. When the pros are loading up, it’s usually a sign to watch for big moves on the horizon.

Willy Woo—the trader, not your friendly Crypto Willy—predicts that Bitcoin could soon test the $118,000 zone given the liquidity stacked up at those upper levels, while Ivan Paz Chain from Trading Different highlights how consolidation near $105,000–$107,000 may be the springboard for a push toward $113,000. Historically, June’s been a coin toss for BTC, splitting perfectly between positive and negative months since 2013. But the current fundamentals—strong buying pressure, falling exchange reserves, and ongoing institutional interest—are stacking the odds for a bullish scenario this time around.

Let’s not forget about the broader market. While Bitcoin’s dominance remains strong—Altcoin Season Score sits at just 22—Ethereum and XRP are fighting through tough resistance. Both ETH and XRP saw renewed optimism this week, even as overall market activity cooled. It’s an important reminder: watch for those breakout levels on the charts as June unfolds.

On the business front, the crypto venture scene delivered contrasting signals. VC deal counts hit a 2025 low, but major mergers and acquisitions action kept the energy up, led by Coinbase’s blockbuster acquisition of Deribit. That deal underscores the growing appetite for institutional-grade infrastructure, especially for derivatives trading. Even as new investment slows, strategic buyouts are fueling the next phase of sector consolidation.

Finally, market volatility made a cameo, with cross-market correlations showing up again. The S&P 500’s minor 0.5% dip was matched by a brief Bitcoin swing down to $67,280, demonstrating that macro shifts still ripple into crypto. But the overarching market structure for digital assets is being described as “broadly bullish,” with greed creeping back into sentiment.

That’s the pulse of the crypto world this week. Stay tuned and remember: in this space, it’s not just about the numbers on your screen—it’s about understanding the cycles, the players, and the moves. Until next time, this is your buddy Crypto Willy, reminding you to HODL smart, and keep your keys safe!
