Bitcoin has <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/justin-suns-financial-disaster-the-truth-behind-the-152-million-rumor/">consistently traded</a> above the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a typical indicator of a sustained uptrend. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency has been in a consolidation phase for several days. Market watchers are paying close attention to this pattern, knowing that a breakout or breakdown could influence Bitcoin’s price trajectory. 
<h2 id="b-adjustments-in-wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc-custody-and-governance-b">Adjustments in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) Custody and Governance</h2> 
Justin Sun, has stated his role in the WBTC setup is purely strategic and clarified that he does not control the private keys associated with WBTC’s reserves.&nbsp; 
Management of these reserves remains with BitGo, which continues to use established cold wallet technologies to safeguard the assets. This setup is designed to prevent unauthorized access, requiring explicit permission for any transactions. 
The shift in WBTC’s management and custody arrangements was prompted by a desire to enhance the security and operational efficiency across different regulatory environments. In response to these changes, BA Labs has recommended that measures be taken to limit the exposure of WBTC, to manage the risks associated with the concentration of control over such an asset.
