Bitcoin Holds $68K Sparking Optimism

BTC price held the $68K level as this week ended, primarily due to bullish market dynamics. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $2.13 billion in inflows over the past seven days, underscoring increased institutional interest in the asset. Simultaneously, Robinhood rolled out plans for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading this week, adding to optimism surrounding the assets.

Japan revealed plans to unveil a massive stimulus package, exceeding last year’s $87 billion injection, this week. This development has added to optimism surrounding BTC price movements.

XRP Lawsuit Sees New Developments

Simultaneously, the XRP lawsuit saw a riveting turn of events this week. The U.S. SEC filed Form C as a part of its appeals against Ripple recently. However, the XRP community rejuvenated as the XRP status as a non-security was not appealed.

Subsequently, attorney Fred Rispoli criticized Ripple execs Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen for questioning some SEC charges rather than missing a chance for a full trial defense.
