Even though wetin BitMEX do plus the public release of IoC don help to ginger defense for the industry, e no get direct effect for the price. But from wetin dem talk about market like stablecoin wey dey waka comot from Binance, less long-term Bitcoin wey people dey hold, plus how big sharks dey sell while small investors dey buy, e mean say people still dey watch well well and price fit just hold steady. This thing make traders sabi the risk for cyber but e no give clear sign whether price go rise or drop immediately, so e mean say the outlook na neutral.
