Autumn shock for crypto! SEC suspended 8 ETFs
#SEC Delays new wave of decisions on crypto ETFs
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made a critical statement regarding spot #ETF applications, which troubled segments of the crypto market in the summer of 2025. The agency announced that only eight crypto ETF deals met the parameters of the decision. This decision increased the direct offer of projects linked to the Trump family, known for creating uncertainty in the market, as well as crypto-friendly politicians.
Trump's ETF 'Bitcoin + Ether' postponed
An ETF that holds Bitcoin and Ether in one basket and is distributed through Donald Trump's social media company, Truth Social, also received its share of the agency's decision.
The SEC set the final decision date for this fund on October 8, 2025. This extends the process for one of the hybrid ETF products, which is generating significant interest among crypto investors, by another 45 days.
New dates for XRP ETF applications
The situation for XRP remains unchanged; applications have been postponed again. The SEC has postponed the consideration of XRP ETF applications submitted by Grayscale, CoinShares, Canary Capital, Bitwise, and 21Shares until October 19, 2025.
Additionally:
A decision was previously made on the XRP ETF from Franklin Templeton. The final date for this fund will be November 5, 2025.
This suggests that the SEC remains cautious despite growing interest in institutional investments in XRP.
Upcoming Dogecoin and Litecoin ETFs
SEC decisions were not limited to large-cap crypto assets.
The evaluation window for Grayscale's Dogecoin ETF has been announced from October 2025 to January 2026.
The final decision on CoinShares' Litecoin ETF will be made on October 23, 2025.
These dates are considered significant turning points, especially in terms of the legitimacy of meme coins in the world of corporate finance.
Uncertain response to the Ethereum staking ETF proposal
Another notable event was the proposal to add staking to the Core Ethereum ETF from 21Shares. The SEC also postponed this application but did not provide a final date for the final decision in the filing. This suggests that the Ethereum staking feature will provoke further regulatory debates.
Table with previous delays
Reminder that the SEC also postponed applications for the spot Solana ETF from VanEck, 21Shares, and Bitwise, as well as investments in the Dogecoin ETF from 21Shares.
Thus, the SEC postponed nearly all major applications for alternative crypto ETFs over the past two weeks.
Conclusion: Double uncertainty for the markets
These SEC decisions increase uncertainty in crypto markets in the short term. In particular:
The hybrid ETF Bitcoin + Ether is causing political turmoil due to its connection to the Trump family.
XRP ETFs became the target for those locked in waiting for institutional information amid the Ripple pandemic.
Dogecoin and Litecoin ETFs will show how alternative coins will be positioned on Wall Street.
Ultimately, crypto markets will be reshaped by SEC decisions from October to November 2025. These dates may determine turning points for which crypto assets institutional capital will open doors.
