  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can confirm that the introduction of the bitcoin ETF in May 2017 had a profound effect on the price of bitcoin. The anticipation and hype surrounding the ETF led to a surge in demand for bitcoin, driving up its price. However, the SEC's rejection of the ETF application caused a sharp decline in price, as it shattered the expectations of many investors. This event highlighted the regulatory challenges that cryptocurrencies face and the impact that regulatory decisions can have on their value. It also demonstrated the importance of closely monitoring regulatory developments when investing in cryptocurrencies.
