The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pushed back decisions on several crypto ETF proposals, including five spot XRP ETFs (Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, CoinShares, and Canary), CoinShares’ proposed spot Litecoin ETF, and Grayscale’s spot Dogecoin ETF.
It also delayed a proposal from 21Shares that would allow staking within its spot Ethereum ETF.
Meanwhile, the SEC postponed its decision on the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF to Oct. 8. The application, tied to Donald Trump’s media company, has drawn criticism due to the president’s growing personal and business ties to crypto.
All delays are procedural — the SEC frequently takes the full review period. But with the agency recently approving in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto ETFs under the Trump administration, this wave of delays pushes key altcoin ETF decisions into Q4 just as industry momentum is building.$DOGE
