This isn't really that big compared to other recent economic stories, but I can see some of those german dudes getting real interested in Exante ($100,000 minimum, big cats only lol). That could have a good impact on current price and long-term stability.
We still have a little more recovery time before people start seriously trading on news again, though.
Bigger news - It'll be interesting to see what happens with COMEX. If anything legit comes of that, it might force bitcoiners to start paying attention again
