Bitcoin price today: drops to $67k on inflation fears, Ether rally cools By Investing.com
Investing.com– Bitcoin price fell slightly on Tuesday, while a rally in no.2 token Ether also cooled as anticipation of key inflation readings this week kept traders largely risk averse, especially towards crypto.
Hype over the approval of an exchange-traded fund that directly tracks Ether also took a back seat, especially as the Securities and Exchange Commission now has to engage with fund managers over their applications to list such a potential product.
The SEC had last week approved applications from major exchanges to list a spot Ether ETF, which triggered a sharp rally in the token and broader crypto markets.

High rates bode poorly for speculative assets such as crypto, given that they limit liquidity that can be invested in the space, and also push up the attractiveness of conventional, low-risk investments such as the dollar and Treasuries.
Crypto prices took little advantage of a mild drop in the on Monday.
Before the PCE data, inflation readings from , and are also due this week.
