The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed its decision on several proposed spot altcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Filings reveal delays for ETFs holding Dogecoin and XRP, with the regulator extending the review period until June. This follows earlier postponements for other altcoin ETFs, including Solana and Litecoin.
Bloomberg analysts suggest these delays are procedural and expected, aligning with the SEC's approach to previous Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF applications. They don't necessarily indicate rejection. The final deadlines for many of these applications are in October 2025 or later.
Despite the continued delays, some analysts remain optimistic about eventual approval this year, citing procedural norms and ongoing institutional interest in the crypto space.
