07/14 update: The crypto market has rocketed, adding around $60 billion, after XRP developer Ripple claimed victory in its long-running legal battle with the SEC. A U.S. judge ruled the sale of XRP on crypto exchanges did not amount to sales of investment contracts as alleged by the regulator.

“This indicates that the acceptance of bitcoin in the traditional financial system is becoming inevitable,” Thomas Kralow, a crypto hedge fund manager, said in emailed comments. “With trillions of dollars waiting to be utilized and institutional investors entering the crypto space, the potential for growth is substantial.”
