Today, it seems that the prices of cryptocurrencies have been experiencing a downward trend due to the closure of positions, leading to profit-taking. Surprisingly, the ETF applications, which usually have a positive influence on the market, seem to have had the opposite effect this time. On November 16, BlackRock submitted an application for an Ethereum ETF to the SEC. It appears that investors have anticipated a possible sell-off in the cryptocurrency market, as indicated by the performance of crypto prices.
