ANNONS

Over the last 24 hours, we have seen the prices decline sharply for cryptocurrencies. Almost all of the 100 biggest currencies show red numbers at the time of writing.

The market cap for all cryptocurrencies has fallen by $14 billion – from $122 billion yesterday to $108 billion today.

Moving the decision to February 27th

SEC, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, has moved the decision on whether they intend to approve Vaneck and Solidx bitcoin ETF to 27 February 2019. SEC believes they need more time to decide if they approve or not approve a bitcoin ETF.

“The commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider this proposed rule change”, SEC has said about delaying the decision.

Earlier has Hester Peirce who is working as a commissioner for SEC said that a bitcoin ETF can be approved “tomorrow or in 20 years”, Cointelegraph writes.
