An appellate court has revived a civil lawsuit against Coinbase due to a clerical error despite ruling that the initial dismissal was appropriate. The current ruling largely supported a federal court’s dismissal of the case, noting that the district court “properly dismissed” the plaintiffs’ Section 29(b) complaints.

🪙 ETH to spike post halving, ETF denial would not ‘be bearish’ — Analysts
Crypto analysts are betting that Ether’s price could see a significant upswing within months after the Bitcoin halving despite being down 11.39% over the past 30 days, based on historical data. One researcher also thinks that a potential exchange-traded fund (ETF) denial won’t necessarily lower prices. “If the ETF is denied, it will not be that bearish, as the market is not pricing in it yet, and we still have Bitcoin ETFs as the entrance for traditional funds,” Hashkey Capital head of Research Jupiter Zheng told Cointelegraph.
