#AltcoinETFsPostponed

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decisions regarding exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for several alternative cryptocurrencies such as XRP, DOGE, SOL, and HBAR. The postponement includes applications submitted by companies like BlackRock and Grayscale, with new deadlines set extending into June and October 2025. This decision comes amid ongoing regulatory evaluations and a cautious approach toward cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. Analysts see these postponements as expected within the framework of normal procedures, but anticipation remains for the possibility of approving the first ETF for an alternative cryptocurrency later this year, coinciding with the agency's efforts to formulate a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
