Ripple ally final judgment out, here's surprising aspect
As recently shared by Ripple enthusiast James K. Filan, the court has issued its final judgment in the LBRY v. SEC case. According to the judgment, LBRY is permanently restrained and enjoined from participating, directly or indirectly, in any unregistered crypto asset securities offering. In addition to this, LBRY will have to pay the SEC a civil penalty of $111,614 within 30 days after the entry of the final judgment. The news has not been left unnoticed by the XRP community, with many of its members, including pro-Ripple lawyer Jeremy Hogan, commenting on it. Hogan noted that the judge did not rule on secondary sales or the Major Questions Doctrine but enjoined further violations and issued a penalty instead. This made the lawyer wonder whether a similar result might be possible in the Ripple case.

Yesterday, PlanB, creator of the stock-to-flow (S2F) model, took to Twitter to congratulate his followers with surviving the "worst Bitcoin bear market ever."

As Bitcoin has maintained steady around the level above $30,000 for about three weeks, this made a lot of investors suggest that the Bitcoin bear market might be over. This assumption is reinforced by a number of positive fundamentals associated with the digital currency. First, MicroStrategy has continued with its accumulation of Bitcoin. Second, there has been a reboot of interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs, with firms such as BlackRock, Fidelity Investments and Invesco refiling their applications to the SEC.
