Ether , which has joined bitcoin in recent months as a sort of large cap, blue-chip trade in crypto, was down by 1.4%, after finishing July down by 3.35%. It was under extra pressure due to a recent exploit in DeFi giant Curve, however. Whenever investors hear the word hack ... it puts the whole crypto market on the backfoot and that's what's happening here," Gilbert said. Bitcoin volumes have also dropped significantly from their recent highs and have failed to reclaim them despite the price of bitcoin showing so much resilience this year. "When bitcoin heads south so do most altcoins ... and they're selling off a little bit further given what we're seeing with Curve."

With bitcoin's price and trading volume still little changed, Bernstein is highlighting other crypto assets with good opportunities for investors. Bitcoin investors have been feeling deja vu as the setup for the next bull run takes shape. "It is time to dial up the crypto exposure, either through crypto equities or direct digital asset exposure for multi-asset strategies," he said. However, several investing themes within the market have emerged in recent years, and Bernstein has identified opportunities in specific assets to play each segment. Chhugani identified a seventh category, crypto games and prediction markets, but said market leaders in that space have yet to emerge.

Bitcoin could hit a new record high now that Blackrock's Larry Fink is a believer, Mike Novogratz said. "The most important thing that happened this year in bitcoin is Larry Fink," he said on Bloomberg TV. "I think the most important thing that happened this year in bitcoin is Larry Fink," the Galaxy CEO said in an interview on Bloomberg TV with David Rubenstein. This pivoting sentiment could help bitcoin surpass its $69,000 record set in 2021, Novogratz said, further supported by a future cut in interest rates. The token stands out for its use of an eyeball scanner, used to establish unique digital identities per user.

☆ Bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency the SEC asked Coinbase not to delist, CEO says
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( Filip De Mott | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

The Securities and Exchange Commission asked Coinbase to delist over 200 crypto assets, CEO Brian Armstrong said. If Coinbase followed through, the recommendation would have halted the trading of over 200 crypto assets. The SEC request was made on the argument that, aside from bitcoin, each of the cryptocurrencies was an unregistered security. A day prior, it also sued crypto competitor Binance, also citing the unauthorized sale of securities. But in mid-July, the ongoing debate about the nature of crypto assets took a turn against the regulator, when the SEC lost its lawsuit against Ripple's XRP token.

July 25 - XRP has become the unlikely white knight of crypto, thwarting its regulatory foes and dragging the market out of the doldrums. Its market cap has ballooned to $36 billion from $25 billion and its crypto market share to 3.5% from 2% before the ruling, according to CoinMarketCap. The market cap of XRP, the token issued by Ripple, increased by more than 60% after a U.S. judge ruled in its favour. XRP VS STABLECOINSIt's certainly not all smooth sailing for Ripple, or altcoins more generally, though. Ripple Labs said last week that its pursuit of sound crypto regulation in the U.S. was far from concluded.

☆ Don't chase the Coinbase rally as regulatory risks still linger, analysts warn

Investors shouldn't chase the Coinbase rally that was sparked by a pop in crypto asset XRP due to a partial legal win in federal court, analysts warned. The judge also ruled that Ripple violated securities laws when selling XRP to institutions but not to retail investors. However, some analysts noted investors should stay cautious around Coinbase for a little while longer. Despite the ways Coinbase and the crypto industry can benefit from the ruling, the dark cloud of regulatory uncertainty hasn't gone away yet. He added that although the ruling is positive, it's "not a Panacea" for Coinbase.

As applications for a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund head to the SEC for review, cryptocurrency experts remain cautious as to whether proposed surveillance-sharing agreements will be the key to the approval process. "We'll keep giving more information to our regulators," Cboe CEO Ed Tilly told CNBC's Bob Pisani on "ETF Edge" on Monday. Cboe has several applications for bitcoin ETFs to list on its exchange, including funds from WisdomTree, VanEck and Ark. This week the Securities and Exchange Commission acknowledged submissions from several firms including VanEck and WisdomTree, with those proposals appearing Wednesday on the Federal Register. "I just think it's a bad ruling, but we'll ultimately see how that plays out," he said.

"Crypto still has struggled to see a meaningful run," Wolfe Research strategist Rob Ginsberg said in a note Wednesday. A crypto asset's "dominance" measures how much of it makes up the total cryptocurrency market cap. Investors use it to determine which parts of the crypto market are outperforming or underperforming relative to their peers and to identify changes in trend. "The coin still has a massive uphill battle to fight if it plans on retaking former levels. Crypto equities — miners Marathon and Riot , crypto exchange Coinbase , and bitcoin proxy MicroStrategy in particular — have been outperforming bitcoin as well, Ginsburg noted.

☆ US securities regulator 'disappointed' with defeat over Ripple's XRP
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. securities regulator said Monday the agency was "disappointed" with a judge's recent ruling that Ripple Labs Inc did not violate federal securities laws in a major blow to its efforts to rein in the cryptocurrency sector. The SEC has sued a number of crypto firms in recent months, arguing that most crypto tokens are securities that should be registered with the agency. AI could also amplify the world financial system's interconnectedness, something for which current risk management models may not be prepared, Gensler said. "Many of the challenges to financial stability that AI may pose in the future ... will require new thinking on system-wide or macro-prudential policy interventions." Gensler's remarks echoed statements he has made in recent months on managing risks created by the use of AI in finance.

The crypto industry is in a tug-of-war with the SEC and its Democratic chair Gary Gensler, who has described the crypto market as a "Wild West" riddled with fraud. Saying most crypto tokens are securities, the SEC has cracked down on crypto trading platforms, including the top U.S. exchange Coinbase, in an effort to bring the industry under its oversight. Crypto firms have long disputed the SEC's jurisdiction but until Thursday no court had supported that view. The two sources, for example, said firms are considering ways to use the Judge's ruling for their defense. However, she also ruled Ripple's direct sales of XRP to investors should have been registered as securities, handing the SEC a partial victory.

Ripple disputed the claims, insisting XRP cannot be considered a security and is more akin to a commodity. Meanwhile, Tetragon, a U.K.-based investor that previously backed Ripple, sold its stake back to Ripple after unsuccessfully trying to sue the company to redeem its cash. Asked whether the ruling meant that American banks would return to Ripple to use its ODL product, Alderoty said: "I think the answer to that is yes." Ripple also uses blockchain in its business to send messages between banks, kind of like a blockchain-based alternative to Swift.

Cryptocurrencies headed for a winning week after a court decision Thursday fueled a sharp, broad crypto market rally. Bitcoin is on pace to end the week higher by about 3%, according to Coin Metrics, and on pace to finish above $30,000. Ripple's XRP led the rally after a judge in the Southern District of New York ruled that it's a security in some cases but not others. XRP is on track to end the week with a 65% gain. The token tied to Solana is up 30.5% for the week, Cardano's ada has gained 21% and Polygon's matic token in on track to finish 25% higher.

In this photo illustration, a visual representation of the digital Cryptocurrency Ripple is displayed on January 30, 2018 in Paris, France. Ripple's XRP token went up 68% in the last 24 hours, leading a wider rally of major-cap altcoins, as crypto traders digest a key ruling that could stifle U.S. regulator efforts to stamp out digital asset trading. All four tokens were recently singled out as securities in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's formal suits against popular crypto retail trading exchanges, including Binance and Coinbase . But the Thursday summary judgement from U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres calls that classification into question. Ripple maintained that its token is not a security — triggering ongoing confusion over which digital coins fall into which regulatory bucket.

July 14 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency companies that have resisted U.S. regulatory oversight, arguing digital assets are not securities, won a court victory this week. The SEC sued Ripple for conducting an unregistered offering of $1.3 billion in XRP between 2013 and 2020. The regulator has brought more than 100 enforcement actions against crypto companies, claiming digital assets are securities. Securities, unlike assets such as commodities, are strictly regulated and require detailed disclosures to inform investors of potential risks. Before the Ripple decision, judges in the few cases decided in court agreed with the SEC that specific crypto assets were securities.

CompaniesLaw Firms Ripple Labs Inc FollowCoinbase Global Inc FollowJuly 13 (Reuters) - Ripple Labs Inc did not violate federal securities law by selling its XRP token on public exchanges, a U.S. judge ruled on Thursday, a landmark legal victory for the cryptocurrency industry that sent the value of XRP soaring. An SEC spokesperson said the agency was pleased with part of the ruling in which the judge held that Ripple violated federal securities law by selling XRP directly to sophisticated investors. XRP sales on cryptocurrency platforms by Garlinghouse and co-founder and former CEO Chris Larsen, and other distributions including compensation to employees also did not involve securities, Torres ruled. PARTIAL WIN FOR THE SECThe SEC won a partial victory as Torres found the company's $728.9 million of XRP sales to hedge funds and other sophisticated buyers amounted to unregistered sales of securities. Both the Ripple and Coinbase cases focus on registration requirements and whether certain digital assets are securities under U.S. law.

Ripple's XRP token surged more than 30% at one point on Thursday after a judge in the Southern District of New York ruled that it's "not necessarily a security on its face." The price of XRP was last higher by 28.90% at about 60 cents a coin, according to Coin Metrics. The news gave hope to crypto investors, who breathed a sigh of relief that other altcoins may not be considered securities either. Polygon's matic token gained 11%, while litecoin and the token tied to Solana jumped 8%, and Cardano's token advanced 7%.

XRP soared as much as 61% on Thursday after a US judge said certain aspects of the sale of the token did not break federal securities laws. The SEC had sued Ripple for the sale of its XRP token in 2020 for the failure to register XRP as a security. US District Judge for the Southern District of New York Analisa Torres said the XRP token is "not necessarily a security on its face." But there are multiple facets of the ruling and it gets complicated depending on the type of sale of XRP. A motion for summary judgement filed by the SEC in its "aiding and abetting" allegations against Garlinghouse and Larsen was denied.

In each case, Coinbase filed briefs as an "amicus," or friend of the court. A ruling favoring another crypto defendant at the trial court level would not be binding on Coinbase's own case, but the company could potentially point to it in its defense, legal experts said. Coinbase argued the digital assets on its platform do not pass that test, in part because they lack contractual agreements. In its other amicus brief, Coinbase urged a federal judge in Manhattan to allow the fair notice defense in the SEC case against Ripple Labs, which was the industry's highest-profile battle with the regulator prior to the Coinbase case. Coinbase argued to U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres that denying the Ripple defendants the fair notice defense "would jeopardize the validity of the defense in future cases."
