Analyst Takes: OANDA analyst, Craig Erlam, said in a note, seen by Benzinga, “It’s been a very volatile day for bitcoin which was trading almost 9% lower at one stage before clawing back around half of those losses.”

Erlam attributed the earlier crash in Bitcoin to a report suggesting that the SEC was likely to reject Bitcoin ETF applications.

“In reality, it would probably only delay approval rather than prevent it but it would be interesting to see how cryptos would respond considering how much the ETF has fueled the rebound,” said the analyst.

Van de Poppe also construed the Bitcoin Spot ETF approval as a bullish catalyst for Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency.
