#AltcoinETFsPostponed The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including¹ ²:

- *Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF*: The SEC extended the review period to June 17, 2025, citing the need for additional time to evaluate the proposed rule change and address regulatory issues.

- *Bitwise's Dogecoin ETF*: The NYSE Arca's proposal to list this ETF has been delayed, with the SEC extending the review period.

- *21Shares Dogecoin ETF*: Nasdaq's proposal to list this ETF has also been delayed.

The delays are part of a broader evaluation process, with the SEC reviewing around 70 crypto ETF proposals, many involving altcoins like Solana and Litecoin. Analysts suggest that these delays are procedural and don't necessarily signal rejection, citing the approval process for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.³

*Potential Impact:*

- *Market Sentiment*: The delay in XRP ETF decision led to a 3% loss in XRP price, which dropped below $2.30. However, analysts believe XRP price could potentially reclaim $2.50 in the near term if it holds firm above $2.00.

- *Investor Interest*: Some analysts warn that investor interest in altcoin ETFs may be tepid compared to funds holding core cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether.
