🚨 SEC Pushes Back Decisions on Dogecoin and Hedera ETFs
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has again extended its review window, this time for two notable filings: the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and the Grayscale Hedera ETF. Both proposals will now remain under assessment until November 12, leaving issuers and investors waiting for clarity on the future of altcoin-linked funds.
• Bitwise Dogecoin ETF → Proposed for listing on NYSE Arca, one of the first serious attempts to package Dogecoin into a regulated investment product.
• Grayscale Hedera ETF → Submitted as part of Grayscale’s broader strategy to convert its existing trusts. The firm previously transitioned its Bitcoin Trust in 2024 and now aims to expand this model to Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
The SEC’s move comes against a backdrop of unprecedented activity:
• As of late August, at least 92 crypto-related ETF applications are pending.
• Multiple proposals target XRP, Solana, Avalanche, BNB, and Litecoin, highlighting growing institutional interest beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
• The regulator continues to use the maximum review periods, frequently extending deadlines rather than issuing early rulings.
For Dogecoin, the filing represents a milestone: what began as a community-driven experiment is now being positioned for the same financial infrastructure as leading digital assets. Hedera’s inclusion reflects demand for enterprise-grade blockchain solutions, further diversifying the ETF pipeline.
Market reaction has so far been muted:
•
$DOGE : $0.24 (-0.17%)
•
$HBAR : $0.231 (+0.43%)
Still, the accumulation of filings signals a clear shift. Crypto ETFs are no longer limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum; they are steadily expanding into broader ecosystems. The outcome of these applications in 2025 will help define how accessible altcoins become for mainstream investors.
