Bitcoin Falls Below $68K as Ethereum Spot ETF Decision Nears

$BTC

Cryptocurrency markets are slightly down as investors await US regulator's decision on spot Ethereum ETFs

One observer noted that the cryptocurrency's decline may have been triggered by a large ETH sell order from trading firm Symbolic Capital Partner. Blockchain data shows the company sold 6,968 ETH worth $27.4 million within a minute

Even though the sell-off started earlier, a new report on the PMI manufacturing index shows the US economy is growing strongly, with output growing at its fastest in the past two years. That fueled a rally in the dollar as traders reduced expectations for interest rate cuts, which may have exacerbated the decline in risk assets.
