SEC Postpones Verdict on XRP and Dogecoin ETF Applications

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on ETF applications related to XRP and Dogecoin. Bitwise proposed the Dogecoin ETF, while Franklin Templeton filed for the XRP fund. The SEC has extended its review period to June 15 for the Dogecoin ETF and June 17 for the XRP-based one to ensure sufficient time for considering the rule changes and any associated issues.

However, experts predict more delays until Q4 2025. The SEC also postponed decisions on other crypto ETFs, including a Solana fund from Franklin and Grayscale's Hedera ETF. The delay in the XRP ETF decision comes shortly after the SEC approved three futures funds from ProShares, set to launch on May 14.
