US Moves Away from the Brink of a Debt Ceiling Crisis

After intense weeks of negotiations, a sense of relief has washed over the financial world as the White House and House Republicans have reached an agreement in principle on a deal to raise the debt ceiling for two years and cap spending. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden now face the significant task of pitching this deal to their allies in Congress. With the June 5 deadline looming, this agreement is a step back from the edge of a historic default. The crypto market often reacts to such significant macroeconomic events, so keep an eye on how this development influences the crypto landscape.

Crypto Adoption Surges in China

China is making strides in both the Web3 and crypto spaces. In Beijing, the capital city, a white paper aimed at promoting the innovation and development of the Web3 industry was released, underscoring web3 technology as an "inevitable trend for future Internet industry development." The Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission issued the document, indicating the government's interest and support for the sector.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Huobi HK is enhancing its foothold by offering crypto spot trading to retail and institutional clients. Taking substantial steps towards regulatory compliance, Huobi has applied for a virtual asset exchange license with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. This dual expansion by China and Hong Kong reaffirms the significant role Asia plays in the global crypto landscape.
