Injective price pares gains after ETF-driven spike
Injective price was down nearly 5% in 24 hours as the cryptocurrency experienced slight sell-off pressure following a sharp surge amid exchange-traded funds news.
- Injective price retreated slightly on July 29, falling about 5% as INJ touched lows of $13.88.
- The altcoin has surged on Monday amid news that Cboe had filed for the listing of the Canary Capital Staked Injective ETF.
- Institutional interest in INJ remains as the market eyes regulatory approvals for staked crypto ETFs, including for Ethereum and Solana.
The price of Injective ( INJ ) soared from lows of $14.48 to above $16.35.
However, after giving up some of the upside amid broader market struggles, INJ has extended the retreat. The coin touched lows of $13.88.
Market data on crypto.news showed Injective price hovered around $14.31, below the intraday low on July 28 and at risk of further losses as top cryptocurrencies face downside pressure.
Why did Injective surge?
Injective’s gains came as traders reacted to news that Cboe, the largest options exchange in the United States, had file d with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for approval to list the Canary Capital’s Staked Injective exchange-traded fund .
The filing meant Canary’s staked Injective ETF joined other major staked crypto ETF flings – Ethereum ( ETH ) and Solana ( SOL ). It also points to the growing interest in Injective by institutional investors, which follows Canary’s registration of Delaware trust for the INJ ETF.
As the market reacted to the filing news, INJ price rose. However, like in many instances across the ecosystem, buy the rumor and sell-the-news scenario appears to have allowed for profit-taking.
INJ is not down by much, but price is hovering near a key level and fresh declines will push it support around $13.20.
