This has injected considerable fear and uncertainty, leading to a bearish sentiment. On the positive side, news regarding increased Bitcoin awareness and adoption, particularly among US adults, and advancements in the Lightning Network offer some underlying bullish potential for the longer term. However, the immediate focus is on the negative impact of the Tether/Bitfinex situation and regulatory actions like the SEC's suspension of trading.
