#AltcoinETFsPostponed
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several proposed altcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including those for XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), and Hedera (HBAR).

Key Updates:
XRP ETF: Franklin Templeton's application for a spot XRP ETF has been delayed, with a new review deadline set for June 17, 2025.
Dogecoin ETF: Bitwise's proposal for a Dogecoin ETF is now scheduled for a decision by June 15, 2025.
