Ripple’s ‘victory’ over SEC, huge XRP surge, Morgan Stanley gives nod to Bitcoin ETFs

Today’s Bitcoin rundown is a little calmer, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t information-rich. The market now knows just how aggressively the whales bought the dip, how hard the crash hit the short-term holders of BTC, and that the largest wealth manager in the US, Morgan Stanley, will allow its advisers to pitch spot Bitcoin ETFs. Elsewhere, the SEC versus Ripple case may finally be drawing to a close as Judge Analisa Torres orders Ripple to pay $125 million — an amount seen as a victory by some, and not least in the market, as XRP pumped 26% in a matter of hours.
