🚀🚀Buckle up, BTC enthusiasts! Ripple is in a legal tussle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over a proposed $2 billion penalty. The company thinks that's a bit steep, suggesting a $10 million fine instead. 🤔💰 The lawsuit, which has been dragging on for over three years, accuses Ripple and its executives of conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling its XRP token. The SEC's hefty fine proposal was met with resistance from Ripple's chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, who argued that the fine should not exceed $10 million. 🏛️👨‍⚖️ Ripple's lawyers are standing their ground, comparing the case with the one between the SEC and Terraform Labs. They argue that the SEC has previously agreed that civil penalties should range from 0.6% to 1.8% of the defendant’s gross revenue, and that Ripple's fine should follow suit. 🧐📚 Despite the ongoing trial, Ripple's CEO Brad Garlinghouse is optimistic, anticipating a resolution by summer 2024. Meanwhile, American lawyer Jeremy Hogan envisions a $100 million settlement. 🌞⏳ The lawsuit's outcome could have a significant impact on XRP's price, which has reacted positively after each of Ripple's partial court wins. So, keep your eyes peeled, folks! This legal rollercoaster ride is far from over! 🎢👀

📢Hey there, BTC enthusiasts! 🚀 A recent FOMC meeting, more hawkish than expected, has caused investors to reduce their exposure to fixed-supply assets. This resulted in a whopping $600 million outflow from digital asset investment products. 😱 This is the largest outflow since March 22, 2024. The bearish sentiment is further fueled by recent price declines, with total assets under management (AuM) dropping from over $100 billion to $94 billion this week. 📉 Interestingly, the outflows were all about Bitcoin, with the cryptocurrency seeing $621 million in withdrawals. 📤 The bearish sentiment also triggered $1.8 million inflows into short-bitcoin investment products, indicating investors are betting against the asset's price rise. 🎲 On the flip side, Ethereum-based investment products saw inflows of $13.1 million over the past week. Altcoins like LIDO and XRP also saw inflows of $2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Even Litecoin and Chainlink attracted $0.8 million each. 💰 Despite the positive sentiment around altcoin-based investment products, trading volume was low at $11 billion for the week, compared to the $22 billion weekly average this year. However, this figure is still higher than the $2 billion a week observed last year. 📊 In terms of regional distribution, the US saw the largest outflows for the week, recording $165 million. This negative sentiment extended to Switzerland, Canada, Sweden, and Hong Kong. However, Germany, Australia, and Brazil bucked the trend with inflows. 🌎 Stay tuned for more updates! 🚀🌕

🚀🚀 Bitcoin has been on a rollercoaster ride, dipping over the past few days with bears prowling near the $70,000 mark. The result? A 4% drop over the past week, with BTC trading near $66,000. 📉 But hold on, there's a silver lining! 🌈 Wallets holding 10 or more BTCs have reached their highest level in two years. This suggests that without FTX's influence, the market might be reflecting demand more accurately. 📊📈 According to Santiment, this period has seen a whopping 226% surge in bitcoin's price. As of June 16, 2024, wallets with 10+ BTC hold 16.16 million BTC, or 82% of the total bitcoin supply. 🐳💰 There's been speculation that former FTX chief, Sam Bankman-Fried, was suppressing crypto prices back in 2022. Since FTX's collapse in November 2022, there's been a clear correlation between the increased holdings of these wallets and BTC's overall market value. 🧐💡 This could mean that while FTX was operational, forces may have been at play to distort the correlation between large-holder buying/selling behavior and market prices. But now, in the post-FTX era, that correlation seems to have reasserted itself, with whale wallet holdings more directly impacting and reflecting the broader market valuation. 🔄🔍 The plot thickens with former FTX's sister hedge fund CEO, Caroline Ellison, revealing mass bitcoin selling during the dramatic FTX trial last year. She claimed that the disgraced FTX founder had conspired with her to manipulate and keep the bitcoin price below $20,000 using customer funds. 🕵️‍♀️🔦 This revelation led many to believe that bitcoin's failure to hit $100,000 during the 2021 bull market was due to this artificial sell pressure created by FTX execs. 🎭🎪 So, in the post-FTX era, it seems Bitcoin whale wallets are reclaiming their correlation with market value. Stay tuned for more updates! 🎢🚀
