The crypto prices today were in positive territory but stayed near the flatline, as the risk-bet appetite of the investors seems to be fading. Meanwhile, the investors seem to be assessing the future potential of the market before making any further bets into the market.

In addition, the regulatory concerns could have also dampened the sentiment of the traders in recent days. Although the SEC’s approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF marks a significant win for the crypto community, regulatory concerns still loom in the global digital asset space.

However, let’s look at the major crypto prices today for cues on the market performance.
