#AltcoinETFsPostponed The SEC just hit the “pause” button on a bunch of altcoin ETF proposals, pushing decisions on spot XRP and Dogecoin ETFs out to mid-June—and even hinting that final rulings might not land until Q4 . It’s classic SEC procedure, but it’s still a drag for traders waiting to jump in.

So, which altcoin ETF is most likely to sneak through first? Odds are on XRP. Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF has the backing of a $1.5 trillion manager, and analysts from Bloomberg put its approval chances between 75% and 90% . Ripple’s legal spotlight has dimmed, too, making regulators a bit more comfortable.

Even if these altcoin ETFs do get the green light, will average investors bite? That’s another story. Mainstream folks tend to stick with Bitcoin and Ethereum—but a smooth, first-mover win for XRP could spark more confidence and open the door for other altcoin ETFs down the road.
