First up, the U.S. House of Representatives managed to pass the debt ceiling deal, paving the way for Senate scrutiny. Cue the dramatic music! Let's see if it passes the Senate's judgment and avoids any political plot twists.
In the realm of cryptocurrencies, our beloved Bitcoin took a tiny stumble, down 1% to $26,800. Oh, Bitcoin, why the slippery slide? It seems to have lost its footing, slipping more than 6% over the past month. Will it regain its swagger and make a triumphant comeback? Only time will tell!
Now, let's talk about inflation, that sneaky little devil. Eurozone's latest data revealed a surprising drop in inflation to 6.1% in May, down from a head-turning 7% in April. A twist in the tale!
But hold on tight, because European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde wants to keep us on our toes. She signaled the need for more interest rate rises. Ah, the tempting tango of inflation and interest rates!

Kraken's Strategic Choice to Stay in Canada Pays Off as Competitors Binance and OKX Prepare to Withdraw
Kraken, the clever fox of the crypto world, has been making some impressive moves in Canada. While other exchanges like Binance and OKX decided to pack their bags, Kraken saw a golden opportunity and seized it with gusto!
Just picture this: in the weeks following Binance's announcement to bid farewell in early May, Kraken experienced a whopping 25% surge in customer deposits. Talk about a crypto welcome party! And that's not all. When OKX revealed its own plans to leave the Canadian market back in March, Kraken's mobile apps witnessed a jaw-dropping fivefold increase in downloads from their Canadian clients. Now that's what we call a power move!
Canada, with its tightened regulatory framework for digital assets, had some of the biggest crypto exchanges making a swift exit. We bid farewell to Paxos, Blockchain.com, Deribit, and even the almighty Binance, the titan of trading volume. But wait, there's more! Bybit recently joined the exit party, making headlines earlier this week.
Amidst this crypto exodus, Kraken stood tall, capitalizing on the Canadian market's potential like a savvy crypto ninja. Their growth is a testament to their strategy and adaptability.
So, raise your virtual glasses and toast to Kraken's triumph in the Great Canadian Crypto Battlefield! Stay tuned for more thrilling updates as we navigate the ever-exciting world of cryptocurrencies.
