SEC rejects Winklevoss twins bitcoin fund for the second time, and bitcoin takes a hit
- Bitcoin was trading slightly lower after news broke that regulators had rejected a proposal for a crypto exchange-traded fund for the second time.
- The SEC first rejected a plan by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, the founders of crypto exchange Gemini, to list a bitcoin ETF in March 2017.
- On Thursday, the SEC put out a letter saying it did not agree that Gemini’s markets were ready for a derivative product to be based off of them.
- Bitcoin was trading down 1.2% after the news broke, at $8,068 a coin.
- Rumors that the SEC would approve a crypto fund has recently fueled a rally in the coin, which is known for its volatile price swings.
