#AltcoinETFsPostponed

On March 11, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) postponed decisions on several altcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications. This includes filings for Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP, Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) ETFs by firms such as Grayscale, Bitwise, 21Shares, and VanEck .

Analysts view these delays as standard procedure, especially given the SEC's current leadership uncertainty. Final decisions are expected by October 2025, with some experts maintaining a high probability of approval . Despite the postponements, the SEC has acknowledged new ETF filings, including Grayscale’s Hedera (HBAR) ETF and Bitwise’s DOGE-related proposal .
