SEC Sends Crypto Framework to White House, $ETH Sees Outflows

On March 23, US spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced net outflows for $ETH. BlackRock recorded a sale of $14.6 million in Ethereum, with Fidelity and Grayscale also seeing investors selling their $ETH holdings.

The price of $ETH has declined by 8.4% over the last seven days, trading at $2130.92 as of reporting.
