Hopes for a bitcoin exchange traded fund are being dashed, for now.
Cboe Global Markets pulled its application on Wednesday for what would be the first-ever bitcoin exchange traded fund, or ETF, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC’s approval is needed before VanEck and SolidX partners would be able to list their fund on Cboe’s BZX exchange.

Bitcoin advocates have been eagerly awaiting the approval of a bitcoin ETF, which many say would usher in new buyers to the struggling asset class. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is down more than 80 percent from its high reached during the retail-driven frenzy in 2017, and was down 1 percent, near $3,540, on Wednesday.
The SEC rejected a second attempt by Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of crypto exchange Gemini, to list shares of a separate bitcoin ETF this summer. The financial watchdog cited concerns over investor protection, fraud and manipulation of bitcoin, especially since much of the trading is done in unregulated offshore markets.
SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said in November he needed to see better market surveillance and custody for cryptocurrencies before being “comfortable” with a bitcoin ETF.
VanEck’s founder and CEO, Jan Van Eck, told CNBC on Wednesday that it is ready to answer many of the SEC’s questions. But in order to make its case “clearly and convincingly to the regulators” it needs the government to reopen.
“We were trying to do that but we obviously can’t have meetings when they’re shut down,” VanEck told CNBC’s “ETF Edge. ” “Instead of trying to slip through or something, we just had the application pulled.”

The ETF approval process, and other SEC applications for things like initial public offerings, remain on hold as Democrats in Congress and President Donald Trump are locked in a stalemate over funding for a border wall.
The agency has staff “available to respond to emergency situations involving market integrity and investor protection, including law enforcement,” but most other functions are closed, the agency said on its website.
VanEck told CNBC the group will refile and re-engage in bitcoin ETF discussions “when the SEC gets going again.

BTC / USD

📊 Since last week when the price of Bitcoin was $ 3,593 on Monday, prices have initially risen to $ 3666. That is the upper level of the range where prices bounced in most of the week. Then efforts have been made to break out of the range on the positive side on Saturday when prices came to $ 3705 and surged further to $ 3750.

Attempt Efforts end as forgery and hourly candles are left with a large axis, which enters the seller's territory and activates sales. This causes the price to fall back to the support line from the range where it bounced before finally. It started to break out of the range on the downside and has fallen to $ 3429 at today's low.

Cryptocurrency is becoming more mainstream with Bitcoin still at the forefront. It has become mainstream that even sports fans are taking note of it and using cryptocurrency to bet on different sports events including the Super Bowl. In particular, sports fans are on a weekend. Let 's take a look at Bitcoin' s historical performance and why betting on Super Bowl 2019 may be the next hot thing to do.

Bitcoin's Crash in Early 2018

Recall, that the year 2017 saw quite a few coins gaining ground along with the price. The most significant increase is reaching a price of $ 17,783.06 on December 17, 2017. For many Bitcoin evangelists and supporters, this is a significant step forward for the cryptocurrency. To understand why, remember that Bitcoin has been the leader in the cryptocurrency market since its introduction as the first cryptocurrency in 2009.

As for this huge price spike, a buying frenzy ensued with just about everyone's wanting to get involved with Bitcoin. Unfortunately, this frenzy and the upward trend continue in 2018. Within one month into 2018, the currency lost about $ 80 million in market cap. Oddly enough this happened right around the Super Bowl. It's quite a coincidence, but let's talk more about that in a moment. For now, let's focus on what are the leading factors causing this rapid drop off.

Bitcoin (BTC) Entered the Longest Bear Market

At time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) trades slightly below the current price of $ 3,460. During the past week, BTC has set $ 3,400 as a support level, but failed to break above $ 3,500, making this price the closest resistance level.

In a recent e-mail from Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst at eToro, he noted that Bitcoin is now in the longest-running market, but Bitcoin hasn't fallen enough to make the latest crash the biggest - based on percentage - that Bitcoin has seen in its relatively short history.

"From December 2017 to today bitcoin has dropped a total of 82% from peak to trough, making a total of 413 days without any indication of turnaround. It should be noted that although this is the longest stretch, this is not the deepest. The five-month bear in 2011 decreased 93% and crypto winter from the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2015 showed a total decrease of 86%, "he explained.

In addition, Greenspan also noted that Bitcoin has formed six different slices since touching nearly $ 20,000, four of which have broken down. He further explained that Bitcoin is nearing the end of the seventh wedge, which could mean further decline is in store for combated cryptocurrency.
