In crypto news today (June 30), BTC USD continues to trade under $60,000, with the monthly close today likely to dictate the price action for July. Liquidations continue to slow, with only $286M in positions liquidated over the past 24 hours, down from over $1Bn just last week. This week saw ETF flows continue in the same direction as last week, with over $231M worth of Bitcoin sold across the various products, adding to last week’s total outflows of over $1.7Bn. Until these outflows slow down, it is unlikely that Bitcoin will reclaim $60,000. While nearly every major cap token…

Cara Delevingne Addresses Rumors She Dated Amber Heard During Johnny Depp MarriageCara Delevingne is speaking out on her rumored affair with Amber Heard.  Though the supermodel was previously accused by Johnny Depp of having an affair with his then-wife, she explained that the Pirates of the Caribbean star was misinterpreting their strong bond.  “I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy,” Delevingne told Louis Theroux during a June 29 episode of the Louis Theroux Podcast, stating that “nothing was happening at that point.” She added that Depp’s belief that she and Heard were having an affair began because the…

Upon its release in 1969, Paul Mazursky’s Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was both praised and criticised for being a social commentary and a verdict on marriage (and Americans) that was conveyable only through comedy. The film’s watershed financial success made it possible for others to follow suit and explore themes of consensual promiscuity on screen. Olivia Wilde’s third directorial endeavour is a great addition to this ​“canon” of sorts. The Invite is a star-driven chamber piece, with Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton and Wilde herself at the centre of this partner swap, comedy-thriller.From the get-go, genre hybridity and a fluid tonal range steer the…

On the same morning, in two opinions both written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court tripped over itself. In Trump v. Slaughter, SCOTUS removed the protections that had shielded the heads of independent agencies since 1935, overruling Humphrey’s Executor and reaffirming that those who wield executive power answer to the executive. At the same time, in Trump v. Cook, it declared that the Federal Reserve gets an exception. President Trump’s hands are procedurally tied; Fed Governor Lisa Cook keeps her seat for now. The Roberts Court gave with one hand and took back with the other.The Court split…

Goalkeepers Bart Verbruggen and Yassine Bounou both produced fantastic saves to keep the scoreline blank between the Netherlands and Morocco at half-time. A closely-fought encounter remained goalless but there was no shortage of quality on show in Monterrey as the sides fought for a place in the World Cup round of 16 and a clash with co-hosts Canada. Morocco carried the greater threat with Ronald Koeman’s decision to utilise Denzel Dumfries and Micky van de Ven as wing-backs failing to have the desired impact. It was the first knockout game between two genuine contenders for the trophy and the sense…
