#AltcoinETFsPostponed As of Wednesday, April 30, 2025, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has **further postponed decisions on several proposed spot altcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)**.
The latest delays affect applications for:
* **XRP:** Franklin Templeton's XRP Fund, with a new deadline of **June 17, 2025**.
* **Dogecoin:** Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and 21Shares Dogecoin ETF, with new deadlines in **June 2025**.
Previously, decisions on spot ETFs for **Solana, Polkadot, and Hedera (HBAR)** were also postponed to **June 2025**.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reiterated that these delays are **"standard procedure,"** and the final deadlines for many of these applications are in **October 2025 or later**. He suggests these extensions are procedural and don't necessarily indicate the SEC's final stance.
While these continued delays may disappoint investors eager for more diverse crypto ETF options, some analysts remain optimistic about potential approvals later in the year, drawing parallels to the timelines seen with the approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. The SEC's cautious approach to these new asset classes is being closely monitored by the crypto industry.
