<p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed Grayscale Investments’ application to convert its Ethereum trust product (ETHE) into an ETF. Similar action had been taken the day before by the regulatory authority in response to BlackRock’s application for a spot ETH ETF. On January 25, the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/u-s-sec-delays-grayscales-ethereum-trust-etf-application/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEC</a> delayed a decision on BlackRock’s spot Ethereum ETF until March.</p> 
<p>The recent remarks made by SEC Commissioner <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/sec-commissioner-hester-peirce-slams-genslers-cryptocurrency-crackdown/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hester Peirce</a> have added fuel to the speculation, suggesting that the regulatory landscape for ETH and other cryptocurrencies may undergo a change. The Commissioner brought attention to the fact that the cryptocurrency futures and spot markets are highly correlated, which may impact the way the SEC makes its decisions.</p> 
<p>Peirce noted that the SEC’s approach to authorizing these products is not necessarily contingent on whether or not the underlying asset is a security, even though the SEC has lately delayed many Ethereum ETF applications. </p> 
<p>In anticipation of starting to repay creditors in liquid crypto by mid-February, the insolvent crypto lending company Celsius has allegedly transferred 459,561 ETH, or around $1.014 billion to crypto exchanges. Thus adding more selling pressure on ETH.</p>

If the price manages to go below $2171 level, then it will likely decline further to test $2028 support level.
