The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for alternative cryptocurrencies until April 30, 2025, reflecting a cautious approach despite a pro-crypto administration. The affected exchange-traded funds include: the Solana and XRP ETFs from Franklin Templeton, with the XRP decision postponed to June 17, 2025. The Hedera (HBAR) and Polkadot (DOT) ETFs from Grayscale, which have also been postponed until June 11. The Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF from Bitwise. The Hedera ETF from Canary Capital, which has also been postponed to June 11. Fidelity's proposal regarding Ethereum (ETH) shares in exchange-traded funds. Bloomberg analysts, James Seyfart and Eric Balchunas, describe these delays as "standard procedures," noting the uncertainty of SEC Chair Gary Gensler and ongoing regulatory reviews. The chances of approval remain high - Litecoin (90%), Dogecoin (75%), Solana (70%), XRP (65%) - with deadlines in October 2025. The SEC's concerns include market volatility, custody security, and investor protection. Despite the delays, market sentiment towards X shows resilience.
