$170M Ether longs liquidated as crypto market tumbles: Is ETH doomed?Key takeaways:

Negative $ETH futures funding rates and six weeks of spot ETF outflows highlight a fragile investment climate.
Ethereum’s 53% market share in DeFi keeps it well-placed for a recovery, even as negative news continues to batter the network.
Ether ($ETH) price faced a 5% correction on Tuesday, erasing gains from the previous 12 days. The move triggered $170 million in liquidations of bullish leveraged $ETH positions, putting traders on alert. Disconcerting news that the Ethereum Foundation was laying off 20% of its staff contrasts with optimism surrounding an upcoming network upgrade, but should $ETH traders be worried?

Demand for bearish $ETH positioning briefly surged on Tuesday as the perpetual futures annualized funding rate flipped into deeply negative territory, meaning shorts (sellers) paid to keep their positions open. The current 3% level signals a lack of confidence from bulls, but it should not come as a surprise given Ether’s recent weakness.

Ether price declined by 20% over 30 days, slightly worse than the 17% drop in the broader cryptocurrency market capitalization. Part of the move ties to investors’ fear over ongoing peace negotiations between the US and Iran. Moreover, high costs of artificial intelligence build-out have led investors to act more cautiously.

Fake GTA 6 Early Access Scams Are Draining Crypto From Gamers WorldwideFake GTA 6 early access websites are asking victims for $250 or more in $BTC, $USDT or Ether.
Rockstar’s official preorders begin June 25, while GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 with no legitimate early access program.
The scams use polished design, urgency and irreversible crypto payments, leaving gamers without chargebacks once funds leave their wallets and no valid download afterward during the preorder hype window worldwide this week.
Fake GTA 6 early access sites are turning one of gaming’s biggest release cycles into a crypto theft funnel. Fraudulent pages claim to sell access to Grand Theft Auto VI before launch, asking victims for $250 or more in $BTC, $USDT or Ether. The sites deliver nothing after payment, leaving users with no reversible card transaction and no download. The unsettling part is that gaming hype is being converted into irreversible crypto loss, just as official preorders approach and demand peaks for players chasing access before everyone else online today.

Security researchers found the scams emerging only days before Rockstar Games’ official preorder window this week, with fake storefronts using polished graphics, Vice City-style artwork and GTA 6 branding to resemble premium game retailers. One site sold “VIP Digital Access” for $250, then instructed buyers to enter a transaction ID to unlock a nonexistent file. Rockstar has said official preorders begin June 25 through authorized digital storefronts and select retailers, while GTA 6 is scheduled for November 19, 2026. Crucially, there is no legitimate early access program, making any pre-launch download offer unauthorized.

Why is Crypto Crashing Hard Today? BTC, ETH and XRP Fall 5%



Crypto markets are in freefall on Monday, and for once the selling has nothing to do with anything specific to digital assets. Bitcoin fell to $62,400, down 4% on the day, Ethereum dropped 5.45% to $1,657 and XRP slid 4.36% to $1.09.

The total crypto market cap shed nearly $86 billion in 24 hours to sit at $2.14 trillion, with the Fear and Greed Index at 20 as selling accelerated across every major asset class simultaneously.

This is not a crypto story, it is a global liquidity story, and crypto is simply the most visible casualty.

South Korea Triggered a Circuit Breaker Again

The session’s most dramatic moment came from Seoul, where South Korea’s Kospi crashed 10% and triggered a circuit breaker for the second time this month. Samsung and SK Hynix both fell more than 12% after a local media report revealed that SK Hynix is slowing expansion of its newest AI memory chip and shifting focus to a lower-priced commodity-grade chip to cover a production shortfall.

Quarter-End Rebalancing Is Adding Pressure

JPMorgan warned this week that quarter-end rebalancing could force up to $165 billion in equity selling worldwide through June 30. Large pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are required to rebalance back to fixed stock-to-bond targets after a strong run in equities, and that mechanical selling is happening right now across global markets. The window does not close until the end of the month.

The Fed Is Not Helping

Nine of the Federal Reserve’s 19 policymakers are projecting at least one rate hike this year, and markets are now pricing a 70% probability of a hike by September. That single shift in expectations raises the cost of holding risk assets across the board. Crypto, which now shows a 97% correlation with the S&P 500, is feeling that repricing as direct
