The grim market picture is likely due to yesterday’s breaking news that the Winklevoss Twins’ application for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) has now been rejected for a second time by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Market visualization from Coin360 Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $7,915 to press time, down about 4 percent on the day.

Its pricing relies on the MVIS Bitcoin OTC Index, not a [single crypto] exchange like Gemini.
Meanwhile, on July 24 the SEC delayed its decision on a Bitcoin ETF application from investment firm Direxion, the same day as digital asset manager Bitwise filed its own application with the regulator for an ETF that would track an index of ten cryptocurrencies.
