Bitcoin price is currently trading at around $30,300, showing less than 0.50% surge during the Asian session on Monday. The recent favorable decision in the SEC vs. Ripple case has impacted the price, bringing it back to the level seen last Thursday.
However, a former SEC official expresses skepticism about the ruling on XRP, stating that "the decision rests on shaky ground" and anticipates a potential reversal in the future.
In other news, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink believes cryptocurrencies will surpass any single currency's influence, highlighting the growing global interest in digital assets.
In this update, let's discuss the latest developments in the Bitcoin market as legal battles and evolving market sentiments continue to shape its trajectory.
