    Bitcoin Price Holds Steady Despite SEC's Case Against Market Maker Cumberland DRW

    Thursday’s revelations the US Securities and Exchange Commission was going after crypto market maker and liquidity provider Cumberland DRW did little to rattle prices. While bellwether Bitcoin did briefly drop below $60,000 ahead of the news, the world’s largest crypto has since found a footing, CoinGecko data shows. Perhaps it's because there’s little to fear the SEC could win its case, Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, told Decrypt on Thursday. “The crypto market has learned—fr...
