#AltcoinETFsPostponed The postponement of the approval of altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) came as a shock to investors and analysts alike. The SEC's decision not to give the green light yet means the market will remain under pressure and volatility for a longer period. This delay has dampened risk appetite in the market, and this was clearly evident in the ETH/USD pair, where Ethereum fell against the dollar due to diminished expectations of large institutional funds entering the market soon. Many had hoped that the approval would be a step toward market maturity and higher prices, but the postponement increases the regulatory uncertainty that is hindering wider adoption of cryptocurrencies. Keep an eye on the markets, as regulatory decisions have become a major driver of cryptocurrency movement.
