Gate Research Institute: Review of the Crypto Assets Market in June 2025

Summary

• Cryptocurrency Market Performance: The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is expected to fluctuate between $3.2 trillion and $3.6 trillion in June 2025. Due to geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, the market temporarily fell to the lower end of this range. Among the top 8 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, BTC performed the best with a monthly increase of 3.42%, while altcoins generally showed weakness.

• On-chain and DEX Data: Solana continues to lead with an average of nearly 100 million transactions per day, followed closely by Base with an average of 9.7 million transactions. In terms of DEX, PancakeSwap has an average daily trading volume of $8.9 billion, outperforming Uniswap ($1.816 billion) and Raydium ($1.339 billion), firmly establishing itself at the top of mainstream decentralized trading platforms.

• Trends in Hot Projects: SEI has seen a surge in popularity driven by price increases, favorable policies, and community momentum. In mid-June, the daily trading volume exceeded 94 million USD, with a short-term increase of over 50%. The EVM upgrade and stablecoin pilot have enhanced its compliance in finance and cross-chain potential, placing its heat indicators among the top across all chains.

• Global Policy Changes: In June, global cryptocurrency regulatory policies continued to diverge. Singapore tightened regulations on overseas services, the United States accelerated its stablecoin legislative process, the new South Korean government supported local industries, and Vietnam officially recognized the legal status of crypto assets, creating an overall friendly atmosphere.
