Think of it as a giant game of Monopoly, but with less fun and more fines. The markets responded with the subtlety of a herd of elephants, with Deutsche Boerse’s shares nose-diving more than 7%-probably wishing they’d kept their shady dealings under wraps-while Nasdaq flopped down 1.7%, pre-market style.

Bitcoin is clinging to its $103,000 mark after a brief moment of panic when it dipped below $100,000 just last Wednesday. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) is up by a modest 1.8% over the last 24 hours. Nothing to write home about, though, right?
