#AltcoinETFsPostponed

As of April 30, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on multiple altcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, including those for XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), and Polkadot (DOT). The SEC cited the need for additional time to thoroughly evaluate these proposals. 

Despite these delays, analysts remain optimistic about the eventual approval of altcoin ETFs in 2025. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted that such postponements are standard procedure and that the final deadlines for decisions extend into October.
