As anticipated, bitcoin took some minor dive, losing about 300$ with the recent rejection of bitcoin ETF proposals presented by ProShares, DIREXION and Graniteshares but things seem to be recovering nicely after just a few hours, maybe we don't need the ETF afterall, just a killer app to drive adoption mainstream
Traders simply do not care much about ETFs getting rejected anymore, or at least not as much as they used to. And this reflects within the price, which barely moved when the news first came out.
The fact of the matter is that bitcoin ETFs will benefit pretty much no average adopters even if it was approved, and I think that's the fact that's finally starting to catch up to some people. It's only going to be benefiting those in big financial institutions, no one else.
Also, a part of this is relative stability when it seems like everything is going bearish is probably contributed by the fact that there was no hype surrounding the ETF anymore. Markets don't go into a frenzy awaiting for the decision, so when the decision comes, the impact on the market is much lesser than previously, which is actually a great thing.
