It’s a legal-heavy episode today, but first, Bitcoin has rejected the $60,000 price level once again, pushing the Crypto Fear & Greed Index into “extreme fear” for the first time since January 2023. Nevertheless, with 90% odds of a September interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve and stocks and gold reacting accordingly, it could be just a matter of time until BTC is back on the ascent. On the legal side of crypto, a US Supreme Court ruling could be a “game changer” for crypto, the SEC has dropped its action against Paxos and the Binance USD token, and Coinbase demands to see Gary Gensler’s private messages.
