Trading Recommendations for the Cryptocurrency Market on June 18

Bitcoin and Ethereum plunged following the latest escalation in the Middle East and the increasing likelihood that the United States will be drawn into the conflict. Bitcoin dropped from $107,600 to $103,600, while Ethereum fell from a high of $2,605 to $2,465. However, during today's Asian session, both cryptocurrencies slightly recovered.

Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the stablecoin market could reach $3.7 trillion by the end of the decade. With the successful adoption of the GENIUS Act, a significant increase in private sector demand for U.S. government bonds is expected. This would help reduce government borrowing costs, curb national debt growth, and improve global consumer access to dollar-based digital asset ecosystems.

This ambitious forecast and legislative initiative reflect the growing recognition of stablecoins as a key component of the modern financial system.

The projected growth of the stablecoin market is largely attributed to their ability to provide stability and transaction efficiency in the digital space, making them attractive to retail and institutional investors. The GENIUS Act aims to create a favorable regulatory environment for the development of the stablecoin market in the U.S.

Previously, the U.S. "Crypto Czar" David Sacks also stated that the adoption of a stablecoin law would significantly increase demand for U.S. government bonds from stablecoin issuers.

Moving forward, I will continue to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum on large pullbacks, anticipating a continuation of the intact medium-term bull market.

For short-term trading, refer to the strategies below:
