#AltcoinETFsPostponed

The delays are considered standard regulatory procedure and partly due to the pending confirmation of Paul Atkins as the new SEC chair, who is expected to be more crypto-friendly, potentially accelerating approvals later in 2025 or into 2026. Several major firms such as VanEck, 21Shares, Bitwise, and Grayscale are actively filing proposals for these ETFs, covering spot ETFs, leveraged products, and thematic funds. Overall, while the altcoin ETF decisions have been postponed, the prospects for approval in 2025 remain strong, contingent on regulatory developments and market conditions.
