Neutral
Even though di court ruling confirm say FBI no get any liability, e no directly affect Bitcoin market supply or demand. Di decision point out di risks wey dey for lost Bitcoin but e no change di circulating supply, as di 3,400 BTC don already remove through erasure. Traders fit look again their custody practices, but di ruling itself no too likely to cause strong buying or selling pressure. Historically, legal clarification wey no get any wider regulatory changes dey usually get neutral impact on price. So this news go get neutral effect on BTC for both short and long term.
