Reason for postponements:
The SEC stated that it needs more time to review the proposals and consider public comments. Analysts believe this was already expected, as the SEC tends to use the maximum available time to approve or reject cryptocurrency-related ETFs.
---
Market impact:
The postponements did not cause significant drops in the prices of the involved altcoins, as the market was already anticipating this move.
The approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the past shows that the SEC is proceeding with caution.

Future expectations:
With Paul Atkins taking the lead at the SEC, investors expect a more favorable approach to the crypto market, which may increase the chances of future approval of these ETFs.
