#AltcoinETFsPostponed The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed decisions on several altcoin spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) as of April 30, 2025, reflecting a cautious approach despite a crypto-friendly administration. Affected ETFs include:Franklin Templeton’s Solana and XRP ETFs, with XRP’s decision pushed to June 17, 2025.Grayscale’s Hedera (HBAR) and Polkadot (DOT) ETFs, delayed until June 11.Bitwise’s Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF.Canary Capital’s Hedera ETF, also postponed to June 11.Fidelity’s Ethereum (ETH) ETF staking proposal.Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas call these delays “standard procedure,” citing the unconfirmed SEC chair Paul Atkins and ongoing regulatory reviews. Approval odds remain high—Litecoin (90%), Dogecoin (75%), Solana (70%), XRP (65%)—with final deadlines in October 2025. The SEC’s concerns include market volatility, custody security, and investor protection. Despite delays, market sentiment on X shows resilience, with some altcoins like DOT and HBAR ticking up. Analysts expect approvals could drive $3-6 billion in inflows, but regulatory clarity, especially for XRP, remains critical.
