On March 11, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the postponement of its decisions regarding several applications for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to alternative coins such as Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA). These applications involve institutions like Grayscale, Canary Capital, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Franklin Templeton.

While the SEC continues to review applications for index funds related to alternative cryptocurrencies, indicators suggest strong possibilities for approval later in 2025, especially with the increasing institutional interest and improved regulatory environment.
