#AltcoinETFsPostponed

**What’s the Status of Altcoin ETF Approvals?**

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to decide on most pending Altcoin ETF applications **by or shortly after October**, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, a prominent figure in crypto and financial markets.

Seyffart emphasized that delays in these approvals were widely anticipated, as many applications under review face final regulatory deadlines **in or after October**. While this timeline offers clarity, he warned that the SEC could still push for additional extensions—a standard tactic during complex financial product evaluations.

This follows the SEC’s April 29th move to postpone rulings on multiple crypto ETFs, highlighting the agency’s cautious stance toward the rapidly evolving digital asset sector. Analysts suggest these delays reflect the regulator’s ongoing efforts to balance innovation with investor protection.
