#AltcoinETFsPostponed

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several proposed altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including those for XRP, Dogecoin, Hedera, and Polkadot, extending review periods into June 2025. Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF decision is now expected by June 17, while Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF awaits a ruling by June 15. Similarly, the SEC has delayed decisions on Hedera and Polkadot ETFs, with new deadlines set for June 10 and June 11, respectively. These delays are procedural and align with the SEC’s standard review timelines, which can extend up to 240 days. Analysts suggest that such postponements do not necessarily indicate rejection, as similar patterns were observed prior to the approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Despite the delays, the inclusion of these altcoins in ETF proposals signals growing institutional interest, and the market is closely watching for final decisions, potentially due by October 2025.
