Dogecoin and Ripple's ETF still have to wait, it is not easy for altcoins to break out
Recently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it has postponed the decision on two cryptocurrency ETF applications that were originally scheduled for a decision soon until June of this year. One of these ETFs is primarily based on Dogecoin (DOGE), and the other is primarily based on Ripple (XRP), applied for by Bitwise and Franklin Templeton respectively. In other words, these two popular 'altcoin' ETFs still have to wait and cannot be listed for the time being. $XRP $DOGE #SEC推迟多个现货ETF审批
In fact, it is not just these two companies. Another company, 21Shares, has also submitted an application for a Dogecoin ETF, preparing to list on NASDAQ. These companies are all very proactive, wanting to secure a place in the crypto market boom. Currently, Dogecoin's market value is about $26 billion, while Ripple is even higher, reaching over $130 billion, both being among the 'front row' projects in the crypto space.
However, although there are many applications, it is not easy for these altcoin ETFs to actually materialize. The SEC has already received over 70 related applications this year, but most investors are still focusing their attention on Bitcoin. After all, Bitcoin is like 'digital gold,' with a clear positioning and high recognition; whereas altcoins each have their own characteristics, some even have a bit of entertainment value, making them less appealing to traditional institutions.

The SEC's delay this time is not necessarily a bad thing. Rather than rushing to launch, it is better to give the market more time to understand these coins and allow for clearer regulation. When the timing is right, perhaps altcoin ETFs can truly 'break out.'
