South Korea's National Police Agency has launched its fourth bid for a custodian to manage seized virtual assets, but small and medium-sized firms are reluctant to participate, Edaily reported. According to a notice on the country's Public Procurement Service KONEPS system, the agency recently opened bidding for its "Seized Virtual Asset Storage and Management Project," with a deadline of June 24. The project's budget has been increased 3.2-fold to 267 million won from the previous 83 million won. However, critics argue that the bidding process is structured to favor large, won-denominated cryptocurrency exchanges. They point out that smaller custody providers find it difficult to meet stringent requirements, such as 100% full compensation and 24-hour real-time support, and that there are no bidding restrictions based on company size.

Demand for Bitcoin (BTC) and gold as inflation hedges is weakening, according to an analysis by JPMorgan reported by The Block. The analysis points to outflows from gold ETFs, expanding outflows from BTC spot ETFs for four consecutive weeks, and a continued reduction in BTC and gold positions by institutional investors in the futures market. JPMorgan stated that the buying pressure for both assets, which had been driven by geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, rising government debt, and concerns over the U.S. dollar's value, has weakened overall. The bank added, however, that a second-half rebound in the crypto market would require resolving uncertainties around dividend sources for companies holding digital assets and the passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act.
