Bitcoin rate fell below $61,000
Against the backdrop of Bitcoin falling below $61,000, the activity of major players in the derivatives market has noticeably decreased. The fall in the BTC rate led to the fall of the entire cryptocurrency market. Solana was hit particularly hard among the top ten coins, falling 15% to $124.
Some analysts attribute this drop to the news that the trustee of the Mt.Gox exchange that went bankrupt in 2014 plans to begin paying compensation in Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and cash from the beginning of July. This decision was made after completing preparations, including technical support, compliance with international regulations and coordination of transfers with crypto exchanges. Payments will be made one by one to platforms that have confirmed the required information.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin rate fluctuates around $61,460.

Solana Foundation Launches Tools to Optimize Blockchain Transactions
The Solana Foundation has introduced new tools to turn any website or app into a portal for cryptocurrency payments and blockchain transactions.
The solution, called Solana Actions, is a set of APIs that allows you to preview, sign, and send blockchain transactions in a variety of contexts. These contexts may include QR codes, buttons or widgets in mobile and desktop applications, as well as on websites.
The blinks tool is one way to use Actions. It allows you to turn any action on the Solana platform into a public link that can be shared. This means that any digital path represented as a URL becomes the starting point for transactions on Solana.
