DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW
SEC Crackdown💵 

Hey there Crypto Enthusiasts! : This is a condensed version of our newsletter. We'll be fully back and ready to roll on May 13, 2024! 😊 

Over the weekend, Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessed a bullish surge fueled by increased BTC ETF inflows and overall optimism.

However, the SEC has once again cast a shadow by adding more crypto-related companies, including crypto and stock broker Robinhood, to its regulatory scrutiny list.

These regulatory concerns are weighing heavily on the market, exerting downward pressure on prices.

All eyes are now fixed on May 23rd, the SEC's decision deadline for VanEck's Ethereum ETF. 🕰️ 

The prevailing consensus suggests that the Ethereum ETFs will likely face rejection on this date, aligning with previous discussions.

Nonetheless, some analysts hold the belief that the Ethereum ETFs will eventually gain approval sometime in 2025. 🎆
