BGB Trading In Narrow Range
BGB has been outperforming other major cryptocurrencies for the last two weeks. The release of the BGB White Paper certainly helped bolster confidence in this still-low-cap token, and the excellency of Bitget new products chipped in as well. Even after the market took off thanks to FED's delicate 25bps raise, BGB return remained well above that of the Top 3 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
One thing to notice is that BGB weekly low has been on the rise for two consecutive weeks, up by 22.2% from April 24 to April 30 and by another 1.6% last week. That puts BGB in a really tight trading range - traders are waiting for a breakout and preparing their strategic gears correspondingly.
After the first round of events (BGB Lotto and BGB Staking), BGB holders had the opportunity to earn even more BGB with the 40% APY BGB pool on Bitget Launchpool. Nearly 38.5 million BGB were staked, meaning 2.75% of its circulating supply was put into work. Other users opted for the BGB exclusive trading and referral promotion to share 50,000 BGB in rewards and engaged in p2p trades to share 100,000 BGB.
A new VIP system has just been introduced to give BGB diamond hands priority. To join our VIP group, you can either hold 50,000 USDT in your Bitget spot account or 100,000 BGB (around US$40,000 at the time of writing)! Benefits are the same but favourable requirements are applied for BGB holders as our way of saying thank you. Become a VIP today simply by owning BGB!

Governments Embracing Crypto
Despite the speculation on a softer move in response to the recent bank failures, the U.S. Federal Reserve stands firm in their fight against inflation. However, FED Chair mentioned that the FED will ‘take a data-dependent approach in determining the extent to which additional policy firming may be appropriate’ and ‘factor that [‘what's happening with credit conditions', ‘what's happening with lending'] into their decision making'.
What does this actually mean? Simply put, we can expect the FED to take the banking crisis and the ongoing debt cap negotiations into consideration, alongside their mandate to keep inflation in check. On CME FedWatch Tool, the general consensus is that the FED won't raise interest rates further in their next meeting.
For the crypto market, this means bullish. The global market cap briefly touched US$1.275 trillion following the news, but couldn't keep the momentum, especially over the weekend, when the U.S. Department of Justice is reported to be investigating Binance for possible violations against Russian sanctions and Binance had to halt Bitcoin withdrawal twice in less than 24 hours.

It is a good signal, though, to see governments around the world studying and issuing new crypto regulations. One of the most crypto-friendly zones, Hong Kong plans that guidelines for crypto exchanges seeking a virtual asset service provider (VASP) licence will be released this month and encourages local banks to continue providing services to crypto firms. Meanwhile, both the U.K. and the U.S. are focusing on crypto tax treatments, with the former seeking public views on the taxation of DeFi ‘involving lending and staking' and the latter hoping to issue crypto tax guidance within a year.
