On alternative digital currencies (Altcoins) such as Ethereum, Ripple, and others, major regulatory bodies, most notably the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), announced a delay in the approval requests for these funds until further notice. This decision comes amid concerns related to severe market volatility and the lack of maturity of the regulatory framework governing this type of asset. The authorities clarified that the decision aims to protect investors from fraud or market manipulation risks, especially with the absence of clear mechanisms to monitor alternative currency networks compared to Bitcoin, which enjoys higher liquidity and broader regulatory interest. They also pointed out the need to assess the impact of these funds on financial stability, particularly amid the sharp fluctuations that digital currencies have experienced this year. On the other hand, the delay has caused disappointment among a segment of investors who were expecting new liquidity to enter the "flipping" market, leading to a temporary decline in the values of some currencies by rates ranging from 3% to 8% in recent hours. However, experts believe that the delay could be an opportunity to develop clearer standards that enhance the confidence of major financial institutions in digital currencies.
