1. The probability of the SEC winning the lawsuit against Ripple is 70%.
Odaily Planet Daily News: After nearly five years of litigation, Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission hope to reach a settlement, but they still need to persuade Judge Analisa Torres to change her ruling, lift the injunction against Ripple, and reduce its $125 million fine to $50 million, based on 'special circumstances' proving the request is reasonable. Cryptocurrency lawyer John Deaton believes the likelihood of Analisa Torres approving Ripple's victory is 70%, and the judge may be more inclined towards a final ruling rather than another round of litigation. - Original
2. The cryptocurrency market has digested the impact of geopolitical conflicts, and sentiment remains in the 'Greed' range.
Despite the escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran, the cryptocurrency market sentiment index, the 'Fear and Greed Index,' remains in the 'Greed' range. The index showed a score of 60 in the update on Sunday, remaining in the 'Greed' area, while Bitcoin fell by 2.8% on Friday to $103,000. This decline occurred after reports of explosions in Tehran on Thursday at 22:50 UTC, following Israel's claim of responsibility for the attack. Iran reportedly retaliated on Friday night with 'dozens of ballistic missiles.' On Thursday, the index's 'Greed' score was 71. Despite the tense geopolitical situation, market participants noted that Bitcoin has shown relative resilience. Cryptocurrency analyst Za stated on Saturday: 'Bitcoin seems to be indifferent to the conflict between Israel and Iran (at least for now).' He added: 'There is no better market sentiment indicator than Bitcoin, and I find this very noteworthy.' Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano noted in a post that day: 'Bitcoin is tireless.' Traders seem confident that Bitcoin can maintain levels above the psychological barrier of $100,000. This price level has been reclaimed for the first time since May 8. If it falls below this level, it could lead to more than $1.74 billion in long position liquidation risk. - Original

6. The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong proposed a multi-currency pegging scheme for stablecoins.
Odaily Planet Daily News: The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Paul Chan, published a blog post titled 'Speeding up the sail to steady navigation,' pointing out that the development of digital assets has driven related businesses in financial institutions. Last year, the total trading volume of digital assets and related products by local banks in Hong Kong reached HKD 17.2 billion, and the total amount of digital assets held in banks reached HKD 5.1 billion by the end of last year. The previously proposed (stablecoin regulation) has been passed by the Legislative Council, and Hong Kong is prudently advancing the development of stablecoins, providing a new paradigm for the global stablecoin market. It also reflects the firewall and experimental role under the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle, providing experiences and references for national financial development. For example, Hong Kong has adopted a more open model, allowing licensed issuers to choose different fiat currencies as the pegged fiat currency for issuing stablecoins, which is conducive to attracting more institutions from different parts of the world to issue stablecoins in Hong Kong based on actual application scenarios, greatly enhancing the liquidity of related activities and the competitiveness of the Hong Kong market. - Original
