Cryptocurrency in China: Central Bank Shake-Up Dims Hopes for Policy Reversal

Hopes that China’s anti-crypto stance could soon change have been crushed by the appointment of a known crypto-critic as the Communist Party’s top official at the People’s Bank of China (PBoC).

According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, the Party’s new appointee to the Chinese central bank is Pan Gongsheng, the bank’s current deputy governor.

The article also cited unnamed sources as saying that Pan will “likely” become the PBoC’s next governor after being officially promoted to the top Communist Party official at the bank.

If that were to happen, Pan would have more power than his predecessor Yi Gang – who was not a top party official – as governor, given the system in China where the top party official outranks the administrative head of public entities.

Previously in charge of crypto crackdown

Pan Gongsheng has held a long career in China’s financial sector, and has previously served as the head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

Notably, Pan’s reputation as a sharp crypto-critic comes from his role as the head of the Leading Group of Internet Financial Risks Remediation, an entity tasked with cracking down on crypto and overseeing China’s vast financial-technology (fintech) sector.

In late 2017, Pan famously predicted the death of Bitcoin, saying, “There is only one thing left to do: Sit by the river bank and see Bitcoin’s body pass by one day.”

He followed up with more hawkish comments about crypto in 2018, saying the government would implement regulations aimed at shutting down crypto settlement providers, market-makers, guarantors, peer-to-peer lending vehicles, alternative trading platforms and crypto wallets.

A blow to crypto-softening in China

The appointment of Pan as the central bank’s new Party chief and possibly as governor is a major blow to those who predicted that China was softening its approach to crypto thanks to Hong Kong’s ambition of becoming a crypto hub.

Among those who have predicted such as softening is Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who called a TV segment on mainland China’s CCTV about Hong Kong’s crypto regulations “a big deal.”

Others followed up, with for instance the Chinese crypto entrepreneur and Tron founder Justin Sun, who said the segment “could very well lead to an increased awareness and curiosity about cryptocurrencies.”

However, this will not be the case according to David Qu, a China economist at Bloomberg Economics.

“Based on my knowledge, no PBOC governor would support Bitcoin,” commented in a Bloomberg article this week.

He added:

“What happens in Hong Kong is irrelevant, as the China mainland usually views Hong Kong as an overseas market.”

However, doubts arise if the investor is an insider or a genuine trader who just got lucky. Investors use the cryptocurrency ‘snipping’ method and buy tokens just hours before it gets listed and open for trading. This gives them the leverage of being a step ahead before other investors begin to purchase the tokens. BAKED saw a listing on the Bitget platform opening the floodgates to new investors.

There are several other stories where cryptocurrency investors just got lucky and made millions in a short period. While these stories are promising, there are only a handful of them that actually made it. The majority of holders have lost money in the markets and only dream of making it big. Luck favors a few while the others mostly face the wrath of the broader cryptocurrency market.

Cryptocurrency Titans Bitcoin and Ethereum Poised for Robust July Based on Historical Patterns

Cryptocurrency Titans Bitcoin and Ethereum Poised for Robust July Based on Historical Patterns

As tradition guides us in the financial world, history often sheds light on what might be forthcoming. In this context, July has consistently proven to be a favorable juncture for the titans of the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin and Ethereum. As we gingerly step into July, market experts are observing with keen interest, the patterns of the past, hoping for another lucrative period in the digital currency realm.

Time-honored market pundits from QCP Capital have deduced that over the years, Bitcoin has shown a median yield of 9.6% in July, bearing a consistent pattern of recuperating substantially after a rather lethargic performance in June. This year, following a dip of roughly 10% in its June performance, Bitcoin is set to possibly see an uplift this July, guided by these historical pointers.

Adding more colors of positivity to this promising picture, David Duong and David Han, two-discerning analysts from Coinbase, have affirmed this trend. They reckon that the expected bonanza of liquidity in July could provide an additional springboard to the market.

June’s downturns have purged the financial market of excess, potentially smoothing the path ahead for more secure and optimistic price shifts. Furthermore, Bitcoin and Ethereum’s trading volumes, which include spot and futures transactions on global exchanges, dwindled from $90 billion in May to $75 billion in June. Market watchers perceive this constriction in trade volumes as laying a sturdier groundwork for the next surge of market activity.

The favorable July seasonality has not been exclusive to leading cryptocurrencies but is also buttressed by broader market dynamics. Analysts including the likes of Ali underscore that recovery patterns ensuing June’s lapses historically denote a “vigorous bounce back” in July performances.

This observation holds notably true for Bitcoin, which has consistently delivered an average return of approximately 8% during this period.

The recent technical analysis of Bitcoin’s price fluctuations also provides credence to the hypothesis for a bullish July. Bitcoin noted a significant upsurge of 2.7% in just the past 24 hours. Now trading at $63,104, Bitcoin has started the month on a strong note. This recent rise has nudged its weekly gains also to 2.7%, echoing an uptick in investor confidence.

However, predictions are not without their hurdles. Factors including macroeconomic influences and regulatory advancements could still steer cryptocurrency prices in a direction contrary to expectations. And while analysts maintain an optimistic outlook based on statistical and historical evidence, the characteristic volatility of the cryptocurrency markets implies that significant deviations from past trends can still transpire.
