Market Update It's a new day, but the script is pretty much a repeat of the last several weeks, characterized by rising interest rates, particularly at the long end of the curve.

Gox sent approximately $130 million in BTC 0.17% to Bitstamp, leaving about 90k BTC 0.17% remaining in the trustee wallets. This move lower was likely also influenced by a rise in the DXY. Currently, BTC 0.17% is trading around $66.5k,...
