#AltcoinETFsPostponed The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on several altcoin ETF applications, including those for:
- *Litecoin*: Canary Spot Litecoin ETF and Grayscale Spot Litecoin ETF
- *XRP*: Canary Spot XRP ETF, Bitwise XRP ETF, 21Shares XRP ETF, and Grayscale Spot XRP ETF
- *Solana*: VanEck Spot Solana ETF, Canary Spot Solana ETF, and 21Shares Solana ETF
- *Dogecoin*: Grayscale Spot Dogecoin ETF and Bitwise Dogecoin ETF
- *Cardano*: Grayscale Spot Cardano ETF
- *Hedera*: Recent applications include Hedera ETF
These delays don't necessarily impact the likelihood of approval, according to analysts. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart calls this a "standard procedure" and notes that approval odds remain relatively high for these ETFs this year. The final deadlines for some of these applications aren't until October 2025 or later ¹ ² ³.
The SEC is awaiting confirmation of Trump's nominee for SEC Chair, Paul Atkins, which might influence the decision-making process. Despite the delays, some analysts remain optimistic about the approval of these ETFs, citing growing interest and demand for altcoins among clients ⁴.
