📢 **Important Update: Delay of ETF Decisions for Alternative Currencies by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)**
On April 29, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the delay of its decisions regarding several applications for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to alternative currencies, including:
The Solana (SOL) fund presented by Franklin Templeton, with a new deadline on October 7, 2025.
The XRP fund from the same company, with a deadline on November 5, 2025.
The Hedera (HBAR) fund from Grayscale and the Dogecoin (DOGE) fund from Bitwise, with final decisions expected on October 8, 2025.
The decision regarding the staking components in the Ethereum (ETH) fund presented by Fidelity has been postponed, with no deadline specified yet.
This delay is considered a predictable move by analysts, as the commission often utilizes the entire time period available before making decisions regarding digital currency funds.
Meanwhile, the commission continues to review over 70 applications for ETFs linked to digital currencies, reflecting the increasing interest from financial institutions in this area.
Despite these delays, analysts expect final decisions regarding these funds to be made in October 2025 or later, with the possibility that changes in the commission's leadership could expedite the approval process.
