Here are this week's most important news stories, explained in a simple, beginner-friendly way, ensuring you stay informed without ever feeling overwhelmed.
This week, we delve into the significant liquidation event facing Bitcoin due to concerns around the Mt. Gox exchange, alongside other notable developments in the crypto world.
1. Bitcoin Faces Major Liquidation Due to Mt. Gox Concerns
Bitcoin's price took a significant hit this week due to concerns surrounding Mt. Gox, a defunct cryptocurrency exchange. Mt. Gox moved a large amount of Bitcoin, causing fear that it might be sold, which led to widespread panic. Many investors quickly sold off their Bitcoin, leading to the second-largest long liquidation (forced selling) in Bitcoin's history. This event is similar to the panic after the FTX collapse, causing Bitcoin prices to drop sharply. Despite this, some experts believe the market will stabilize soon as investors adapt.
2. Marathon Digital Holds All Bitcoin in June
Marathon Digital, the world’s largest Bitcoin mining company, did not sell any of its Bitcoin holdings in June, despite the market downturn. The company holds 18,536 BTC, valued at over $1.1 billion. Marathon plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings through market purchases but might sell some Bitcoin in the future to support operations. The company's strategic holding can influence Bitcoin’s market dynamics, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
In summary, this week has highlighted the volatility of the crypto market with significant events like Bitcoin's liquidation due to Mt. Gox concerns and Marathon Digital's decision to hold their Bitcoin. As always, the market continues to evolve, and we will keep you updated on the latest developments.

A $114 million hardware wallet hack, the best ETF inflow week since April, and a market that refuses to move in either direction. This week had three stories that matter to beginners — and one warning from EU regulators that you should read before anything else. We explain each one calmly, in plain language, and show what it means for you.

Why do crypto prices move so much?
It's the question every beginner asks after their first week: why does the number keep moving? The answer isn't "because crypto is crazy" — it's four specific mechanics, and once you know them the movement stops feeling random. No jargon, no predictions, just how the machine actually works.

How much money do you actually need to start with crypto?
"I don't have enough money" is the most common reason people put off starting. And it's almost always wrong. We explain why the entry barrier isn't what you think, why starting small is actually smarter than starting big, and how to work out the amount that lets you sleep at night. No jargon, no pressure.
