#AltcoinETFsPostponed The anticipation for altcoin ETFs has encountered another obstacle, as the SEC continues to postpone decisions on multiple applications, including those for SOL, XRP, HBAR, and DOGE. This follows a similar delay for DOT, indicating a cautious approach by the regulatory body. While the market widely expected these extensions, with final deadlines for many applications falling in October 2025 or later, optimism for an eventual approval this year persists among some analysts.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart views these delays as a "standard procedure," which does not necessarily impact long-term prospects. Echoing this sentiment, The ETF Store president Nate Geraci remains confident that approvals will occur in 2025. Currently, market sentiment, reflected in Polymarket data, indicates a high probability of altcoin spot ETF approvals within the year, with SOL showing the highest perceived probability. Despite the delays, the underlying interest from exchanges and the potential demand for diversified cryptocurrency investment products beyond Bitcoin remains strong.
