#AltcoinETFsPostponed

In April 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the postponement of its decisions regarding several exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for alternative digital currencies, including XRP, Dogecoin, Solana, Hedera, and Ethereum (with storage feature). New deadlines were set extending into October and November 2025. This postponement is considered a routine procedure within the regulatory timeline of the commission and is not an indication of rejection.

The delay is attributed to the need for more time to evaluate the regulatory and technical aspects of these products, especially given the appointment of a new chairperson for the commission who is expected to adopt a more open approach towards digital assets. Despite these delays, investors remain optimistic about the possibility of approval for these funds in the last quarter of the year, which could enhance the legitimacy of alternative digital currencies in traditional markets.
