ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the central parity rate of the RMB against the USD was raised by 86 basis points, reported at 7.1833, the highest since April 2, and the largest increase since January 21. Wang Qing, chief macro analyst at Dongfang Jincheng, analyzed that the recent strengthening of the RMB exchange rate is mainly driven by two factors:The depreciation of the USD has led to a passive appreciation of the RMB against the USD. The market's pessimistic expectations regarding the increase in the U.S. government's fiscal deficit and debt have intensified, causing the USD index to decline significantly again, which is driving a general appreciation of non-USD currencies, including the RMB.Recently, the domestic implementation of more proactive macro policies has enhanced the resilience of the domestic macro economy against external fluctuations, providing intrinsic support for the RMB exchange rate. Wang Qing predicts that in the future, the RMB is more likely to experience a two-way fluctuation process opposite to the USD trend, but the amplitude of fluctuations will be relatively small, and compared to other major currencies, the RMB trend will be more stable.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, despite a $170 million margin liquidation, the buying support in the spot and futures markets has propelled BTC prices upward. The weak demand for stablecoins in China and limited use of futures leverage indicate that the current rise in Bitcoin is sustainable.Although the surge in Japanese government bond yields and concerns about credit risk once affected market sentiment, Bitcoin prices showed resilience at the $102,000 support level on May 19. Meanwhile, a slight discount in USDT trading in China suggests that this round of increases is not driven by FOMO sentiment.
