#AltcoinETFsPostponed
The postponement of the approval for exchange-traded funds for Altcoins has shocked both investors and analysts alike. The decision by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) not to give the green light yet means that the market will remain under pressure of anticipation and volatility for a longer period. This delay has weakened the risk appetite in the market, as evidenced by the ETH/USD pair, where Ethereum has declined against the dollar due to reduced expectations of large institutional funds entering soon.
Many had hoped that approval would be a step towards market maturity and rising prices, but the delay increases the regulatory ambiguity that hinders wider adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Watch the markets, as regulatory decisions have become a major driver of cryptocurrency movements.
