BGB Could Be Expecting A New Local High
Following last weekend's green signals, BGB has been building up momentum with a 3% increase by the end of this week - not bad compared to major cryptocurrencies, especially BNB (-0.3%), which is also an exchange token.
We are seeing the scenario where the spread between BGB's weekly high and low is getting narrower and the volume-to-market-cap ratio is consistently above 0.02, a sign that there is an abundance of sellers and buyers of BGB and the token can be easily traded close to its value. Moreover, indicators are suggesting that BGB is inching towards a new local high; further reduction of the weekly spread as well as volume should confirm this thesis.

The (Renewed) Stablecoin War
The biggest piece of news must be the suspension of the U.S. debt ceiling, which saves the nation from the first-ever default in its history. On top of that, we have a positive employment report with 339,000 more jobs created in May 2023 and wages went up by 0.3% MoM or 4.3% YoY. Markets share the glee of a strong job market and the temporary relief brought about by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. However, the FED could very well consider another rate hike as the labour market’s current state doesn't seem to effectively cut down spending.
As Hong Kong is claiming their title as the global crypto hub with the licensing application opened for crypto assets service providers, more and more Hong Kong-based projects are stepping into the spotlight. First Digital, a regulated custodian and trust company in the region, is launching FDUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the US-Dollar.
In an attempt to increase their stablecoin market share, Circle has announced the launch of Arbitrum-native USDC on June 08, 2023. This means better liquidity for the token and better security for users as the need to bridge USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum will cease over time.
USDT popularity is still unbeatable; its supply is about to surpass the all-time high of US$84.09 billion recorded in May 2022.
