News: Bitcoin has shown strong upward momentum, breaking past $11,000 and testing resistance at $12,000, while traditional markets show weakness. Ripple is also experiencing significant gains driven by exchange listing rumors, particularly regarding Coinbase. However, concerns about regulatory crackdowns and legal challenges, such as the Coinbase insider trading lawsuit and Europol's report on illicit crypto use, introduce bearish undercurrents. Proactive self-regulation in Japan offers a positive counterpoint regarding security.
