#AltcoinETFsPostponed

Reasons for Delay and Current Context

“The Commission considers it appropriate to assign a longer period for taking measures regarding the proposed change to the rules, taking into account Amendment No. 1, in order to have sufficient time to review the proposed change to the rules and the issues raised therein,” the document on HBAR states.

The expansion of the range of cryptocurrency ETFs could open up additional opportunities for institutional investors and potentially lead to an influx of new capital into altcoins.

Many analysts note that the emergence of Polkadot and Hedera ETFs will set an important precedent that could pave the way for ETFs based on other altcoins. However, the application review process remains unpredictable, as the SEC balances between encouraging innovation and protecting investors.
