#AltcoinETFsPostponed Decisions on XRP and Dogecoin ETFs are postponed until June as the SEC reviews 70 cryptocurrency proposals.
The SEC delays the decision on the XRP and Dogecoin ETF until June 17, with a final ruling possibly known in October.
Investor demand for altcoin ETFs remains low compared to Bitcoin and Ether funds.
A third application submitted that same day came from Nasdaq, which requested approval to list a Dogecoin ETF from 21Shares. The three proposals reflect the growing interest of exchange platforms in investment products based on altcoins.
According to ETF analysts, the SEC could take until approximately October 18, 2025, to make a final decision on these and other cryptocurrency ETPs. This timeline is based on standard processing timelines and current review activity.
XRP and Dogecoin tokens are among the most traded cryptocurrencies. XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, has a market capitalization of approximately $133 billion. Dogecoin, a memecoin, is valued at approximately $26 billion.
By the end of April, the SEC was reviewing around 70 cryptocurrency ETF proposals, many of which involve altcoins. Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg stated that the applications include products linked to assets ranging from Solana and Litecoin to thematic and leveraged tokens.
Despite the increase in applications, some analysts suggest that investor interest may continue to be concentrated on Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. Altcoin ETFs, while more accessible through public exchanges, do not guarantee market demand.
Meanwhile, U.S. exchanges are requesting strict oversight of cryptocurrency products from the SEC. In a comment letter dated April 25, Nasdaq urged the regulator to treat digital assets as securities when their characteristics warrant it.
