#AltcoinETFsPostponed
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a delay in its decisions regarding several exchange-traded funds (ETFs) related to alternative cryptocurrencies such as Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), and Cardano (ADA), as the reviews have been extended until May 2025.
This delay comes amid anticipation of the appointment of a new chair for the commission, Paul Atkins, known for his pro-cryptocurrency stance, raising hopes for expedited approvals following his confirmation.
Despite these delays, analysts remain optimistic about a final approval for these funds by October, which could open the door to significant institutional inflows and enhance the legitimacy of alternative cryptocurrencies in traditional financial markets.
