Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw another day of heavy withdrawals, while Solana ETFs maintained an uninterrupted inflow streak since launch. Bitcoin’s rapid pullback has pushed the average US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) investor into the red for the first time since the products launched.

However, the SEC said that its stated priorities are not “an exhaustive list of all the areas the Division will focus on in the upcoming year.” Read more
