News: The market sentiment is mixed, with optimism in Asian markets due to trade talks providing a slight bullish tailwind for Bitcoin. However, concerns about increasing regulatory scrutiny from U.S. agencies (SEC, CFTC, FinCEN) and the significant setback for Facebook's Libra project due to major partners withdrawing create a bearish undertone. Bakkt's trading volumes have spiked, offering a potential bullish signal for institutional adoption, but its sustainability is questioned. The ongoing debate about Bitcoin's safe-haven status and the SEC staff's comments on Bitcoin not being a security add to the uncertainty.
