#AltcoinETFsPostponed Altcoin ETFs Postponed: A Strategic Vision or Regulatory Fear?
With the increasing institutional interest in the world of cryptocurrencies, the focus is no longer limited to "Bitcoin" and "Ethereum" only; attention is now turning towards alternative coins (Altcoins) such as Solana, Polkadot, and Avalanche. Despite the growing demand from investors for the launch of ETFs based on these currencies, U.S. regulatory bodies, particularly the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have decided to postpone the approval of many of these funds. But is the delay merely a regulatory caution? Or is it a hidden strategy with deeper economic and geopolitical implications?
Is there a "Political Order" for cryptocurrencies?
It is rare to discuss the idea that there is a "political order" for cryptocurrencies, where certain coins are marketed and adopted gradually according to global economic priorities. For example, the Bitcoin ETF was passed after years of waiting for the Ethereum ETF to be approved. Meanwhile, alternative coins, despite their technological advancements, are always placed in the waiting category.
Could regulators be waiting for a mature regulatory environment that allows for the introduction of alternative coins under a stricter system before allowing them to be traded widely in public markets?
Postponed Altcoin ETFs
The postponement of investment funds freezes a portion of the institutional liquidity that was supporting emerging blockchain projects.
