Bitcoin Inspires a Crypto Rally, but the SEC’s Eye’s Still On Us
Bitcoin decided to play matchmaker today, nudging its price up 1% at 7:30 a.m. GMT and sparking a modest uptick across the crypto universe. For players who’ve watched the market slack since the weekend, this small spark is a welcome sign of life returning to the arena.

Robinhood has tried to convince regulators that its operations are on the up and up, but it seems the SEC isn’t buying it.

Ethereum’s Spot ETF Games: A Stalled Show
