Bitcoin traders wipe Grayscale gains after SEC delays spot ETF decisions
The price of BTC rose sharply and fell almost as fast over the past three days amid two recent events impacting pending applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs. In less than a day, Bitcoin (BTC) has shed nearly all the gains it made from Grayscale Investment's court victory against the United States Securities regulator. On Aug. 29 Bitcoin popped to a two-week high after a judge ruled that the Securities and Exchange Commission was “arbitrary and capricious” when it rejected Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF application.
