Global Macro Developments

1.Middle East Tensions Escalate, U.S. Evacuates Personnel
 According to Axios on June 12, the U.S. has begun evacuating non-essential staff from its embassy in Baghdad and some military families from the Gulf region due to security concerns. The State Department cited updated security assessments, and the Pentagon confirmed that the Secretary of Defense approved the evacuation orders. Though specific threats were not disclosed, the market remains focused on U.S.-Iran relations. Previously, Trump expressed growing pessimism over negotiations for renewed nuclear deal restrictions.

 

2.U.S. Treasury Secretary Hints at Extending Tariff Pause
On June 12, Treasury Secretary Bessent indicated that if America’s major trading partners show “good faith” in ongoing negotiations, the Trump administration may extend the current 90-day tariff pause beyond July 9. Although no official decision has been made on extending the deadline without a finalized agreement, Bessent’s remarks suggest the administration may shift its position as the deadline approaches.

 

3.U.S. May CPI Softer, Trump Renews Pressure on Fed for Rate Cuts
 U.S. May CPI YoY came in at 2.4% (vs prior 2.3%), in line with expectations; MoM rose 0.1%, below both expectations and April’s 0.2%. Core CPI YoY was 2.8%, below the 2.9% forecast, marking its lowest since March 2021; MoM rose 0.1%, also below forecasts. Following the data release, Trump posted on social media that CPI was “very good” and urged the Fed to cut rates by 100 basis points immediately. Traders ramped up bets for two Fed rate cuts this year, with September’s cut probability rising to 75%

 

4.Strong 10-Year Treasury Auction Eases Market Concerns
On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury successfully auctioned $39 billion in 10-year notes with strong demand. Analysts noted that “animal spirits have returned to the U.S.,” as markets aggressively bought into the auction. Yields on 10-year notes fell to intraday lows, hitting the lowest level in a week.

 

5.U.S. Treasury Secretary Says $2 Trillion Reasonable for Dollar Stablecoin Market
 According to Bloomberg on June 12, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated during a Senate hearing that the U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin market could reasonably reach $2 trillion or more, reinforcing the dollar’s global reserve status. He noted that legislation would require stablecoins to be backed by highly liquid assets like Treasuries, creating new markets for dollar-based stablecoins. Citi projects stablecoin holdings of U.S. Treasuries may exceed $1 trillion by 2030. The Senate is advancing the GENIUS Act to establish a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.

 

6.U.S. Senate Passes Stablecoin GENIUS Act
 On June 12, the U.S. Senate advanced the “Guiding and Establishing National Uniformity for Stablecoins Act” (GENIUS Act) by a 68-30 vote. Senate Majority Leader John Thune urged support, calling it a step towards making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world,” with some Democrats also backing the bill. The legislation will proceed to debate and full Senate vote before potentially advancing to the House.

 

7.EU Crypto Regulation Stalls Amid Diverging Standards
According to Barron’s on June 12, the EU’s first unified crypto regulation MiCA faces hurdles as divergent national standards allow regulatory arbitrage. MiCA permits licensed entities to operate EU-wide, leading some firms to seek licenses from member states with looser standards. Germany and the Netherlands maintain stricter oversight, while Malta has been criticized for rushing licenses. French regulators and ESMA have initiated peer review procedures against several member states.

 

8.Brazil Bitcoin Reserve Bill Gains Support in Economic Development Committee
 According to Cryptonews on June 12, Brazil’s Economic Development Committee voiced support for the PL 4501/2023 bill proposed by federal deputy Eros Biondini. The bill seeks to establish a national bitcoin reserve (RESBit), allowing up to 5% of foreign reserves to be allocated to bitcoin. Rapporteur Luis Gastão stated that bitcoin reserves could help diversify Brazil’s assets and reduce fiat dependency.

6.BTCC Exclusive Market Analysis

On June 12, the crypto market broadly retreated, with BTC falling below $108,000 and hovering near $107,700, down 1.62% intraday.

Technically, BTC has pulled back into short-term support near $108,000. If this support breaks, the next key zone is $107,000–$106,000. RSI has retreated to around 55, while MACD remains in a golden cross but shows weakening momentum, suggesting a potential short-term consolidation phase.

Macro-wise, May CPI data came in soft, fueling expectations of Fed rate cuts later this year. A strong 10-year Treasury auction improved risk sentiment; however, rising Middle East tensions and trade tariff uncertainties continue to elevate near-term market volatility.

By enforcing mandatory know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) procedures, the cryptocurrency trading platform gives consumers greater security. For operations like withdrawals, it also provides extra security features like two-factor authentication (2FA).

 

Is KYC Necessary for BTCC?

Indeed. Before using BTCC goods, users must finish the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. A facial recognition scan and legitimate identification documents must be submitted for this process. Usually, it is finished in a few minutes. This procedure has the benefit of strengthening the security of the exchange and satisfying legal requirements.

Because their accounts will have a lower daily withdrawal limit, those who do not finish their KYC are unable to make deposits. It should be noted that those who present a legitimate ID without a facial recognition scan will likewise have restricted withdrawal options.

Can I Access BTCC From the U.S?

You can, indeed. According to its website, BTCC has obtained a crypto license from the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which enables the cryptocurrency exchange to provide its services to investors who are headquartered in the US.
