Cryptocurrency News: Cryptocurrency prices fell Monday as bitcoin dropped to a new June low. Industry experts predict that bitcoin's price could fall even lower as investors experience "summer blues." Meanwhile, JPMorgan on Monday noted that bitcoin miners are seeing greater interest from investors for artificial intelligence purposes.
The Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23 approved 19b-4 forms for eight ether ETF applications, paving the way for spot ethereum ETFs to launch later this year. The S-1 registration statements still need to be approved before the ETFs can officially debut. The SEC did not provide a timetable for a judgement on the S-1 filings.
Bitcoin on April 19 completed its fourth halving event, which slashed the rewards doled out to miners. Bitcoin's price has historically risen in the months following previous halvings, but analysts are divided on the impact this year's event will have.
Elsewhere, Sam Bankman-Fried on March 28 was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in the 2022 collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
The strong of new highs is rooted in the industry's historic step forward on Jan. 11. That was the first trading day after the SEC approved 11 bitcoin ETF applications, which included issuers ARK Invest (ARKK), BlackRock (BLK), Grayscale, VanEck and more. Coinbase serves as the custodian for a majority of the new ETF issuers. How are crypto custodians keeping digital assets secure?
