#AltcoinETFsPostponed The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, including those for XRP, Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA). These delays, announced on March 11, 2025, extend the review periods until May 2025, with final decisions expected by October.

Analysts suggest that these delays are standard procedural steps and not indicative of likely rejections. The SEC's cautious approach is partly due to ongoing leadership transitions, as former Chairman Gary Gensler' successor, Paul Atkins, has not yet been confirmed.

Despite these delays, industry experts remain optimistic about the approval prospects for these altcoin ETFs in 2025. The SEC's extended review periods provide additional time to assess the market's implications and address internal challenges.
