#AltcoinETFsPostponed The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently postponed decisions on several proposed spot altcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). These delays affect applications for ETFs based on cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including:

* Franklin Templeton Spot XRP ETF: The decision on this ETF, which was initially expected by May 3, 2025, has been pushed back to June 17, 2025.

* Bitwise Spot Dogecoin ETF: The SEC has also extended the review period for this proposed ETF.

* Fidelity Spot Ethereum ETF: While an Ethereum ETF is not strictly an "altcoin" ETF, the decision on Fidelity's application, which includes a staking feature, has also been delayed.

* Franklin Templeton Spot Solana ETF: The decision timeline for this ETF has also been extended.

The SEC stated that these extensions are necessary to provide sufficient time to consider the proposed rule changes and address the issues raised in the filings. This pattern of delaying decisions is not unusual for cryptocurrency ETF applications.
