The report noted that nine out of ten assets by market capitalization ended the month in the red. Experts attributed the decline to news of Mt. Gox customer payouts and the U.S. and German governments moving bitcoins to centralized exchanges.
However, Toncoin (TON) managed to stand out with a 17.5% growth, reaching a historical maximum of $8.24. Binance Research attributed this growth to the success of The Open League program and support for the ecosystem through grants. In addition, experts noted that the number of active daily addresses on the network reached a record high of almost 578,000.
BNB’s price is down 4.3% month-on-month, but has risen 86.4% year-to-date “thanks to Binance Launchpool’s ongoing events and new initiatives like the Megadrop and HODLer Airdrops.”

The report also mentions airdrops. In June, projects such as LayerZero, ZKsync, Blast, and Eigenlayer distributed tokens.
The NFT sector also showed no growth. Sales volume amounted to $46 million, which is 26.2% less than in May. The leader in monthly sales volume was the DMarket marketplace.
Binance Research also noted that the remaining bitcoins held by miners have reached a 14-year low. Analysts attribute this to halving.
In the restaking industry, EigenLayer’s dominance has dropped to 92.2%, signaling growing competition.
