Bitcoin traders wipe Grayscale gains after SEC delays spot ETF decisions

Image
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. However, the SEC’s recent delay to seven pending spot Bitcoin ETF applications has sent Bitcoin’s price downwards, falling nearly 5% in the last 24 hours. Cointelegraph Markets Pro data shows Bitcoin’s price is currently around $26,000, falling steeply from around the $27,300 level it had been sustaining since the Grayscale win. BTC's seven-day price chart shows its gains erased. Source: Cointelegraph Markets Pro BlackRock, WisdomTree, VanEck, Bitwise, Valkyrie and Fid...
