A green start to the day as Bitcoin edges toward $71k, but Uniswap suffers flash sell-off

Only 21 days to go! Get your ticket here...

THERE seems to be some pep in the markets at the top this morning with Bitcoin up 2% and trading around $70,800, while Ethereum has also gained some ground, currently trading for roughly $3,585. 

Solana, Cardano and their peers are inching their way back into the green again after a week of losses. 

Uniswap, on the other hand, has taken a big knock overnight, dropping by 16% to trade around $9 this morning. The sell-off occurred shortly after Uniswap Labs received a warning that federal regulators will bring a lawsuit against it, seemingly to do with the financial authorities wanting to apply securities laws to crypto companies.
