Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Discusses Terra Case
Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Head of Legal Affairs, responded to recent comments that the Terra case could harm Ripple. He stated that the Terra case has no impact on the Ripple case. Judge Jed Rakoff in the Terra case disagreed with the decision of Analisa Torres, the judge in the Ripple case, and stated that the Howey Test did not distinguish to whom the asset was sold, and therefore it was not correct that the sale to institutional customers was a security and the sale to an individual investor was not considered a security.

BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 29,628 with a 0.26% loss in value as of today morning hours. After the downward break of 29,000 in Bitcoin, we saw the break of 29,000 and 29,500 levels in the evening hours yesterday, first downward and then upward. Rising up to the 30,000 level, Bitcoin, which could not hold here and then retreated, is currently pricing in the 29,600 region. We can say that 29,500, which is the support level of the channel movement that we have maintained for a long time, will work as support, and if it breaks down, the 29,000 level will be the next support zone. We can say that yesterday’s PMI and Employment data had a positive impact and today’s ADP Non-Farm Data will also be important.
ETHEREUM (ETH)
ETH, which lost 0.67% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1860. After the downward break in Ethereum, we see that it broke the 50 and 100-day moving averages upwards and rose to the 1880 region, with the rise seen in the market after the return from the 1820 region. We can say that we expect Ethereum, which retreated to 1865 levels with the selling pressure that developed after this rise, to see support from the 1855 region and that the 1845 region will also be important in case of a breakout.
CHAINLINK (LINK)
LINK, which gained 0.16% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 13.11. LINK made a very clear move again, rising to 7.70 resistance after falling to 7.30-7.34 support. Facing selling pressure from here, LINK continues its movement in the range of 7.30-7.70 without breaking its levels. At LINK, if 7.70 is broken upwards, we can say that our next target will be 8.05.
MAKER(MKR)
MKR, which lost 0.75% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1328. When we look at the daily chart in MKR, we see that Maker rose to 1350 resistance after the 1170 breakout, but retreated from here, re-tested 1170, and with the confirmation of the breakout, it returned to the 1350 level again. We can say that the next target in MKR will be the $ 1520 region.
