The SEC rejected the application for bitcoin-related exchange-traded-fund submitted by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. That was their second attempt to create the first ETF tied to the digital coin; however, the regulator expressed concerns related to liquidity and custody issues. Two more proopsals for Bitcoin ETFs, submitted by VanEck and SolidX are still to be reviewd by the SEC.

The news pushed the digital coin No.1 below $8,000 handle, signalling deeper correction after the recent rally. Currently, BTC/USD is changing hands at $7,887, which is 3.7% lower on a daily basis. From the short-term point of view, Bitcoin moved to the oversold territory, but the trend is still remains bearsih
