📢 Altcoin ETF Decisions Delayed: SEC Extends Review Period
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decisions on several proposed cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including those for XRP and Dogecoin. The new deadlines are set for mid-June 2025: June 15 for the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and June 17 for Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF .
These delays are part of a broader trend, as the SEC also extended review periods for other crypto ETF applications, such as those for Solana and Hedera, with some final decisions expected by October 2025 . Analysts suggest that these extensions are procedural and not indicative of rejection, following patterns observed in previous Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals .
Despite the delays, market participants remain optimistic about the eventual approval of these altcoin ETFs, anticipating that a comprehensive regulatory framework will be established to support their launch.
