Cryptocurrency market left behind the month of May with hard ups and downs. The market, which made a good start to June, went down with the announcement that Weibo has blocked many cryptocurrency accounts, and later on, BTC tried to recover with the news that the President of El Salvador accepted Bitcoin as the national currency and that MicroStrategy would buy Bitcoin. The attack on Colonial Pipeline by the hacker group DarkSide caused BTC to drop to around 32 thousand dollars after the ransom payment was demanded in Bitcoin in the cyber attacks of beef producer JBS.
The market, which recovered slightly with the possibility of India to accept Bitcoin and the start of the Bitcoin Mining Council, went down due to some negative news about Bitcoin. The first of these was cited as the opening of an investigation by the Executive Directorate to WazirX, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in India, owned by Binance, due to allegations of money laundering, and the second, the Dutch Central Planning Bureau (CPB) Chairman Hasekamp's call to ban digital currencies. However, the markets saw a decline as Chinese provinces banned the issuance of cryptocurrencies.

Elon Musk that he may allow BTC payments in Tesla provided that at least 50 percent of Bitcoin mining is done with renewable energy, the price of Bitcoin reached over 40 thousand dollars. However, the recovering market took on a positive mood with the emergence of the report of MicroStrategy stating that it will sell stocks worth of 1 billion dollars. The decrease in yesterday's transactions was effective when the Chinese police published a detailed interview about cryptocurrencies.
