SEC Postpones ETF Decision on BlackRock, Ether Fell 1.20%
2024-09-25

Almost every decision of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission affects the price of cryptocurrencies, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively. In the past 24 hours, Ethereum lost over 1.20% of its trading price and was trading at $2,616 as of writing. 
Market spectators claim that the decline in ETH price seems to be fueled by the decision of the SEC to postpone the decision over application by BlackRock seeking approval to list and trade options contracts on iShare Ethereum Trust (ETHA). 
Before the official announcement by the commission to postpone its decision it was speculated that BlackRock could likely get approval to list and trade options contracts. 
The decision impacted the Ethereum ETF category as it observed roughly $79 million in outflow on September 24, 2024. Leading investors and analysts claim that the prices of ETH are likely to face rejection in the coming rejection as its exchange reserves continue to grow. Other Market News Updates
