BITCOIN (BTC) TRADES HEAVY AND MAY MOVE LOWER AFTER ETF WITHDRAWAL
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yesterday revealed that an application from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) for a Bitcoin ETF had been pulled.

It now seems highly unlikely that there will be a Bitcoin ETF granted in Q1 2019 at the very earliest, if at all.
