Market volatility surrounding the SEC’s decision

The US SEC’s decision comes amid a sharp volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin has fallen significantly, trading at over $96,000, down from above $108,000 at the beginning of the week. Ethereum has also dropped 15%, to $3,440.

According to data from CoinGlass, more than $1 billion worth of cryptocurrencies have been liquidated in the past 24 hours. However, experts believe that the launch of these ETFs will help stabilize the cryptocurrency market and attract more institutional investors. “This move has created a clear and legal way for investors to participate in the digital asset sector,” said a market analyst.
