Considering that all cryptos are still highly correlated to BTC, it's not surprising that prices dropped today given SEC's delay on the ETF decision, which I personally think is actually a good thing as they could have just come out and said no tomorrow which was the more likely scenario.
Also think about it this way - all nascent technologies are high risk investments and in hindsight everyone has the "I should have bought xyz 5 years ago" moment. If you can't hold through either hedge yourself or there are always less risky investments with less return.
No pain no gain.
