*Altcoin ETFs Postponed: Regulatory Delays Slow Crypto Expansion**

The anticipated approval of altcoin ETFs (beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum) has been postponed as regulators take a cautious approach. The U.S. SEC and other global agencies are scrutinizing market manipulation risks, liquidity, and custody solutions before greenlighting funds tied to Solana, XRP, or other altcoins. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs gained traction in 2024, analysts now expect further delays due to unresolved compliance hurdles. Crypto advocates argue that altcoin ETFs could boost institutional adoption, but skeptics warn of volatility and regulatory uncertainty. The postponement leaves traders awaiting clearer guidelines, with late 2025 or 2026 as the next potential window for approvals.
