Bitcoin price drops after SEC deems ETF applications "inadequate"

July 2 (Cointime) - Bitcoin's price dropped by approximately 3% in a matter of minutes on Friday morning, falling from above $31,000 to briefly below $30,000.

The SEC said that the applications did not provide enough detail on surveillance-sharing agreements and the Bitcoin spot exchanges that the asset managers planned to partner with. Despite this setback, the SEC has said that the exchanges can update their applications and refile.
