#AltcoinETFsPostponed As of Tuesday, April 29, 2025, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has **postponed decisions on multiple proposed spot altcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)**.

This includes ETFs for:

* **XRP** (Franklin Templeton's XRP Fund) - new deadline is **June 17, 2025**.

* **Dogecoin** (Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and 21Shares Dogecoin ETF) - new deadline is in **June 2025**.

* **Solana** (Franklin Templeton Solana ETF).

* **Polkadot** (Grayscale Polkadot Trust conversion to ETF) - new deadline is **June 11, 2025**.

* **Hedera (HBAR)** (Canary HBAR ETF) - new deadline is **June 11, 2025**.

* **Litecoin**.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted that these delays are **expected and "standard procedure,"** with final deadlines for many of these applications falling in **October 2025 or later**. He suggests these procedural extensions do not necessarily impact the ultimate likelihood of approval.

While these delays can be frustrating for investors hoping for broader access to altcoins through ETFs, some analysts remain optimistic about potential approvals later in 2025. The SEC's approach to these altcoin ETF applications is being closely watched, especially in light of the previous approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
