The U.S. increases oversight of cryptocurrencies: what to expect from the market?
On May 15, 2025, Chairman #SEC Michael Atkins delivered a keynote speech, confirming the course towards tightening regulation of the cryptocurrency industry. The regulator plans to introduce the first official market rules for the crypto sector, which has sparked a wave of discussions among market participants and investors.
Former SEC boss Gary Gensler may not have been as anti-crypto behind closed doors, says ex-Congressman Patrick McHenry.
🎙️ On the Crypto in America podcast, McHenry claimed Gensler privately acknowledged the value of digital assets and even supported blockchain tech during his time at MIT.
💬 “Was he as anti-crypto in private? No… No,” McHenry said.
📚 Gensler once contributed to airdrops academically, but his stance shifted sharply after taking the SEC chair in 2021—launching over 100 enforcement actions against the industry.
🤯 McHenry described his conversations with Gensler as “confusing,” blaming political pressures for the public crackdown.
Now back at MIT, Gensler is teaching fintech and AI.
Do you think his crypto stance was just politics?

Compliance will become a competitive edge, not just a legal requirement
🔍 Key trends to watch:
Stricter KYC/AML requirements
Stablecoin oversight and transparency
Classification battles: security vs. commodity

SEC postpones approval of Solana and Litecoin again, but why is the market "quiet"?
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently postponed the approval of Solana and Litecoin ETFs submitted by Grayscale Investments again. This decision continues the agency's consistent cautious attitude towards cryptocurrency ETFs.
It is interesting to note that the market reacted relatively calmly to this. The prices of the two major tokens remained basically stable during this period, and did not fluctuate as expected. This abnormal calmness may imply that investors still have strong confidence in the final approval.
In the past few weeks, the SEC has been delaying cryptocurrency ETF applications, but delays do not necessarily mean rejections. The committee specifically stated in the document that this move is intended to collect more industry opinions rather than make a final conclusion. Market sentiment seems to confirm this statement. Just last week, after the news of the postponement of Litecoin ETF was announced, its price did not fall but rose, breaking the generally bearish market expectations.
It is particularly noteworthy that BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, is still in close communication with the SEC on the ETF regulatory framework recently. This continuous interaction also makes analysts optimistic about the long-term approval prospects.
Despite the delay in ETF approval, the cryptocurrency industry still maintains a strong development momentum. Market participants have also gradually realized that the profitability of digital assets does not completely rely on the recognition of traditional financial instruments. As shown by the rapid adjustment of market expectations for interest rate cuts last week, cryptocurrencies seem to have established a relatively independent value system.
In short, the SEC's caution may temporarily delay the pace of the passage of copycat ETFs, but the wave of integration of blockchain and traditional finance is unstoppable. This deep-level industry change will surely break through the limitations of short-term supervision and create a new future for the digital asset industry.
What do you think of this wave of "delayed but not falling" market? Is it time to re-evaluate your crypto asset allocation strategy? Welcome to share your insights in the comment section!

Paul Atkins: A rational regulatory framework will be developed for the U.S. cryptocurrency market
The new chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins, appointed in April 2025, announced his intention to develop a rational regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency market. At a meeting with industry representatives on May 12, 2025, dedicated to asset tokenization, Atkins emphasized that establishing clear and transparent rules is his 'absolute priority.' He pointed out that outdated regulatory approaches hinder the industry's development and pledged to change the SEC's course, which had previously faced criticism from the crypto community.

Altcoin Season? SEC Temporarily Suspends SolanaETF LitecoinETF
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has temporarily delayed the approval of major altcoin ETFs, Solana and Litecoin ETF. This decision has been postponed for the reason that it is necessary to further evaluate whether it meets the standards of investor protection and market transparency.
For Grayscale Solana Trust, the SEC said it is still reviewing whether the capital meets financial regulations. If approved, this capital would own Solana (SOL) and trade on the NYSE Arca stock exchange.
Similar decisions have been postponed for Grayscale Litecoin Trust, and it is said that it is necessary to check whether it is in compliance with financial regulations.
Not only is the SEC delaying Altcoin ETFs, it's also seeking public input on changes to the structure of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust. In particular, it is proposed to change from a cash-only redemption system to an "in-kind" redemption system in which real Bitcoin can be redeemed. This change could have a significant impact on the capital management and hedging strategies within the ETF.
Based on 21Shares Nasdaq Rule 5711(d) CF Benchmarks Index, Dogecoin ETF has applied to Nasdaq for registration. This feature will make it easier for investors to buy Dogecoin through a legitimate channel.
All of this activity is happening under the leadership of new SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. Atkins has made it a policy to review the process of registering crypto products and emphasize public participation.
While the delayed decision on Altcoin ETFs may hurt investor confidence and delay the arrival of "Altcoin Season," the SEC's open-minded approach to public opinion can create a good legal foundation for the crypto industry to grow in the long run.

#delays Solana ETF as decisions for Polkadot, XRP loom
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has pushed back its decision on a proposed spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF), with the cryptocurrency industry now looking to the deadlines for the Polkadot and XRP-based ETFs in June.
The SEC pushed its decision on listing Grayscale’s spot Solana (SOL) Trust ETF on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to October 2025, according to a May 13 filing by the securities regulator.
The decision came the week after the SEC delayed its ruling on Canary Capital’s Litecoin (LTC) ETF, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart wrote in a May 5 X post.
Spot ETFs are viewed as key drivers of liquidity and institutional adoption for digital assets. For Bitcoin (BTC), the US spot Bitcoin ETFs accounted for an estimated 75% of new investment after launching, which helped BTC recapture the $50,000 mark in February 2024, a month after the ETFs debuted for trading.
While a Solana ETF may only generate a fraction of the inflows of Bitcoin ETFs, it could increase Solana’s institutional adoption in the long term by offering investors a “regulated investment vehicle” that may still attract billions of dollars in capital, Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, told Cointelegraph.
Despite the latest delay by the SEC, the majority of investors are optimistic about the approval of a SOL ETF before the end of 2025.
Investors are predicting an 82% chance for a SOL ETF approval and an 80% chance for a Litecoin ETF approval before the end of the year, according to data from Polymarket, the largest decentralized betting platform.
Polkadot, XRP, DOGE ETFs await SEC decision in June
Several other crypto ETF applications are approaching SEC deadlines in June.

Gensler’s Crypto Two-Face: Pro-Blockchain in Private, Attack Dog in Public
Former Rep. Patrick McHenry just dropped a bomb on the Crypto in America podcast: behind closed doors, ex-SEC Chair Gary Gensler was a crypto fan. He praised blockchain innovation, hyped digital assets, and even helped shape the idea of airdrops back at MIT.
But from 2021 to early 2025, as head of the SEC? He led an all-out crackdown on the industry — over 100 regulatory actions. McHenry says the switch-up may have been politically motivated, especially with Gensler eyeing Senate confirmation and playing the Washington game.
After stepping down, Gensler returned to teach fintech and AI at MIT — but not before catching serious heat from crypto leaders like Brian Armstrong (Coinbase) and the Winklevoss twins (Gemini), who blasted his harsh approach.
It’s wild: the guy cheering crypto in private became its loudest critic in public. If McHenry’s right, Gensler understood the tech but got boxed in by politics. And that regulatory whiplash? It probably cost the U.S. some serious innovation.
Imagine what could’ve happened if he’d aligned his public policy with his private passion. Maybe we’d have clear, balanced rules by now.
Let’s hope the next wave of regulators brings clarity — not chaos.

📢【SEC Delays Decision on BlackRock Bitcoin ETF In-Kind Redemptions】
The U.S. SEC has delayed its decision on whether to allow in-kind redemptions for BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, initiating a public comment period.📄
🔍 The SEC invoked Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act to open formal proceedings.
⚠️Previously, the SEC preferred cash redemption, where BTC is sold and cash returned to investors. But if in-kind redemptions are approved, ETFs may see enhanced trading efficiency, according to Bloomberg's James Seyffart.
📌Meanwhile, the SEC also delayed reviews of Grayscale’s Litecoin and Solana Trusts, as well as the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF, and is soliciting public feedback.
📊Take: The SEC remains cautious, balancing efficiency vs. control. If in-kind redemption gets greenlit, it could tighten price spreads and make ETF trading smoother.📉

Gary Gensler Was Pro-Crypto in Private?
According to Patrick McHenry (former Chair of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee), former SEC boss Gary Gensler wasn’t so anti-crypto behind closed doors!
He revealed on May 14 that Gensler’s public tough stance on crypto was likely influenced by Senate politics and his role as SEC Chairman.
This comes as a surprise to many in the space, especially after years of what some called “regulation by enforcement.”
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Gensler may have been more crypto-friendly in private
🔹 Public actions were influenced by political pressures
🔹 Raises questions about regulatory transparency
What do you think? Was the crypto crackdown all politics?

Breaking: US SEC Delays Decision on Grayscale Spot Solana and Litecoin ETFs
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on the Grayscale Spot Solana and Litecoin ETFs. The agency said more time is needed to assess whether these filings meet the necessary standards for investor protection and market transparency.
This delay affects Grayscale’s efforts to list spot cryptocurrency ETFs that would be traded on the NYSE Arca exchange.
At the same time, the US SEC opened public comment periods for other crypto-related proposals, including BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF redemption model.
US SEC Extends Review Period for Grayscale SOL and LTC ETFs
The US SEC announced that it will extend the review process for the proposed Grayscale Solana Trust. The agency is evaluating whether the fund complies with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If approved, the ETF would allow public trading of Solana-backed shares through traditional investment accounts.
The same decision applies to the Grayscale Litecoin Trust. The SEC said it needs additional time to determine if the Litecoin ETF filing meets the required legal and market conditions. Grayscale’s filings now follow an extended timeline, which may include several stages before the SEC makes a final decision.
Subsequently, the commission started proceedings to determine whether to approve or reject the proposed rule change, according to the official filing. Crypto prediction market Polymarket gives Grayscale’s Solana ETF an 82% chance of approval by December 31, 2025. The Litecoin ETF follows closely with an 80% chance.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Redemption Proposal
Alongside Grayscale’s delays, the US SEC has opened the public comment phase for BlackRock’s proposed rule change to its iShares Bitcoin Trust. The proposed amendment would allow in-kind redemptions, letting authorized participants exchange ETF shares directly for Bitcoin instead of using cash.
This change would mark a departure from the original cash-only model approved earlier this year. Public comments will help the SEC determine whether this redemption mechanism maintains sufficient protections for investors and maintains orderly market function.
This delay follows BlackRock filing for an amendment of its spot Ethereum ETF to allow an in-kind creation and redemption process
US SEC Cautious Approach Under New Leadership
Under new Chair Paul Atkins, the SEC has increased its engagement with the public and the digital asset industry. The agency has emphasized transparency and compliance with established investor protection rules in its handling of crypto-related financial products.
Despite the recent delays, the US SEC has acknowledged the spot Dogecoin ETF filing submitted by 21Shares. This move places the application on the agency’s timeline, which allows for up to 240 days to approve or deny the product.
Concurrently, in recent months, the SEC has dismissed several enforcement cases including the Ripple lawsuit and expanded the use of public comment periods and roundtables. These actions signal a broader regulatory reassessment under the current administration.

Despite the recent delays, the US SEC has acknowledged the spot Dogecoin ETF filing submitted by 21Shares. This move places the application on the agency’s timeline, which allows for up to 240 days to approve or deny the product.
Concurrently, in recent months, the SEC has dismissed several enforcement cases including the Ripple lawsuit and expanded the use of public comment periods and roundtables. These actions signal a broader regulatory reassessment under the current administration.

SEC 'Choosing' Crypto: A Blockchain Revolution or Policy Intervention?
On May 9, 2025, during the fourth roundtable on crypto since March, SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw – the only remaining Democrat – questioned whether the SEC under Trump was favoring blockchain too much, even intervening to 'pick winners and losers.' Is this a turning point or a risk for the market? Let's analyze.
Crenshaw Opposes: SEC Should Be Technology Neutral
At a meeting with participation from Wall Street 'giants' like BlackRock, Nasdaq, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton, Crenshaw questioned the SEC's push to move traditional securities onto blockchain. She emphasized: 'No one disputes that the SEC should be a neutral technology agency. So why are we assessing different types of blockchain for industry application? Why focus only on blockchain and not other distributed ledger technologies?' She called this effort 'like the government picking winners and losers,' casting doubt on the motives when the SEC hosted an event at headquarters to support traditional financial companies.
