Copper June Recap

June was another strong month for Copper as we continued to expand our institutional offering, strengthen our global presence, and grow activity across the Copper Network. From continued momentum on ClearLoop to new asset support, strategic partnerships, and participation in key industry events, here's a look at what happened across Copper during June.

ClearLoop by the numbers

ClearLoop continued to provide institutions with secure, capital-efficient access to digital asset markets while reducing counterparty and settlement risk throughout June.

During the month, the network processed 62 million trades, facilitated $95.3 billion in notional trading volume, and completed $3 billion in gross settlements. These figures reflect continued institutional adoption of ClearLoop's off-exchange settlement infrastructure, enabling clients to trade more efficiently while maintaining the security of segregated custody.

New Tokens Support

During June, Copper continued to broaden asset coverage across the Copper Network, giving clients access to a wider range of digital assets for custody, settlement, and trading. Newly supported assets include Humanity (HNEW) on Ethereum and YLDS.

These additions further expand the assets available across custody, Trading Vaults, Trading Accounts, and Walled Garden connectivity where supported, providing institutions with greater flexibility across the Copper ecosystem.

Media Notes

Opening Bell 63

The latest version of Opening Bell (https://copper.co/en/insights/research/opening-bell-issue-63) suggests that Ethereum's rising adoption and ETH's falling price are not contradictory, but the natural outcome of a roadmap designed to make blockspace abundant and inexpensive. While transaction fees have dopped down significantly and on-chain settlement has grown since the Dencun upgrade, lower fee revenue has left ETH inflationary and weakened the link between network usage and token value.

The report also questions how much economic value Ethereum's security budget truly protects, given that many tokenised assets remain subject to off-chain controls, and notes that while staking has supported ETH by reducing circulating supply, that tailwind may be fading.

Copper ME expands its ADGM footprint

Copper ME received In-Principle Approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) for Virtual Asset Custody and Investment Services.

This marks another important milestone in Copper's expansion across the Middle East and reinforces our commitment to serving institutional clients in one of the world's fastest-growing digital asset markets.
