Bitcoin’s relative strength index, or RSI, has climbed to 84-86, pushing BTC into its strongest overbought zone in nearly two years since November 2024. After breaking out of its recent $62,000-$71,000 range, BTC surged as much as 12% in one to two days and at one point came close to $80,000. More than $3 billion in short positions were liquidated over 24 hours during the move, accelerating the rally. Crypto Briefing said, "다만 강한 상승 추세에서는 RSI가 장기간 과매수 구간에 머물 수 있어 즉각적인 가격 하락 신호로 단정하기는 어렵다. 단기적으로는 7만7000달러 지지 여부가 주요 관전 포인트로 꼽힌다."

Pantera Capital portfolio manager Cosmo Jiang said traders and funds are shifting their BTC positions from short to long after Bitcoin recently broke above its 200-day moving average of $69,000. Jiang said BTC fell about 50% during a 10-month correction after reaching a peak of about $126,000 in October 2025, but rebounded more than 23% over the past week, changing market sentiment. Jiang added that a friendlier U.S. regulatory environment and an expansion of U.S. Treasury buybacks of government bonds have acted as bullish catalysts, while pointing to $80,000 as the next major resistance level.

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission has designated Diamond Coin and Diamond Fund as suspicious digital token-related investment products. The products were presented as digital tokens representing rights in Diamond Fund, which claims to invest in ancient artworks and historical artifacts, while advertising target annual returns of more than 30%.

Vajra Issuance Limited was identified as the entity responsible for operating and promoting the products.

Joris Delanoue, CEO of on-chain securities infrastructure firm Fairmint, warned that the tokenized stock market could face problems similar to Wall Street’s paper crisis in the 1960s if it becomes fragmented across exchanges, special purpose vehicles, token wrappers and separate ledgers. Delanoue said some tokenized stocks provide only economic exposure, such as price exposure, rather than actual share ownership, meaning investors may not be guaranteed voting rights, dividends or legal claims to the underlying assets. Delanoue added that for the tokenized stock market to grow, the industry needs clear records of investor ownership as well as common standards and interoperability linking different trading and securities systems.

JPMorgan’s tokenized U.S. Treasury product has nearly tripled to $884.6 million from about $300 million at the end of May, according to Crypto Briefing.

AIGENSYN COO Jeff Amico said investors in RWA lending products may not have adequate legal protection in an actual default scenario despite the high yields on offer. Amico explained that in some RWA vault structures, investors receive yield-bearing stablecoins while the actual loans and collateral belong to a separate entity or special purpose vehicle, meaning investors may not have direct legal claims against the borrower or the collateral. Amico added that RWA investors should check who is legally obligated to repay the debt and whether rights to the collateral have been properly established, and stressed that the market needs clear creditor rights and infrastructure capable of verifying off-chain collateral and contract terms to support RWA market growth.

Well-known crypto trader Killa said BTC market structure has shifted in a bullish direction and Killa is increasing an existing long position. Killa said Killa had previously stated that if the structure turned, Killa would add to the long position and hold it through a move to a new all-time high, adding that the shift has now appeared. Killa also said BTC could see a sharp rise and then quickly correct to the low-$70,000 range in the near term, before moving in a range for the next three to four months.

CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost warned that the market is unlikely to keep moving higher in a straight line and may face a further correction. Darkfost said a substantial amount of liquidity has built up below current price levels, making it likely the market could move lower to absorb part of it.

A rebound in Bitcoin’s price means U.S. crypto mining company Riot Platforms may be able to recover as much as 1,547 BTC from additional collateral it posted during a Coinbase loan process, according to an analysis. Riot pledged 3,977 BTC at the start of the year to secure a $200 million loan, then deposited an additional 1,825 BTC in February as Bitcoin fell. That pushed the total pledged collateral to more than 5,800 BTC. With BTC recently rebounding to around $78,000, the collateral value has risen and the loan-to-value ratio has fallen to about 44%. Based on the applicable loan terms, an estimated 1,159 BTC to 1,547 BTC has reached a level where it could be returned. It was not confirmed whether Riot has actually requested the collateral back, and the final decision and amount would depend on Coinbase’s calculation.

South Korea’s virtual asset market is shifting from a retail investor-driven market to an institution-focused digital finance market, Andrew Park, CEO of FactBlock and organizer of Korea Blockchain Week, said, according to Bitcoin.com News. Park said financial authorities are pushing to allow corporate virtual asset accounts for about 3,500 listed companies and professional investors, while the National Assembly has laid the groundwork to bring tokenized assets and security tokens into the regulatory fold through revisions to the Electronic Securities Act and the Capital Markets Act. Park added that the Bank of Korea has completed the first phase of testing for Project Hangang and plans to conduct a second phase for institutions by the end of 2026.
