Investing.com - Prices of Bitcoin and other major digital tokens dropped on Friday in Asia after advancing for the past two days. Thewill upass work at a doctor's office drop came despite the news that the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) made a new attempt to list a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

On Jan. 31, the CBOE re-applied with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to change a rule, so that it could list the Bitcoin ETF, according to a public filing on January 31. The ETF is supported by investment firm VanEck and financial services company SolidX.

The move is a new attempt after the company pulled plans to list the Bitcoin ETF on Jan. 23 due to the U.S. government shutdown. But as the government reopened last Friday, the company submitted its proposal again.
