**SEC delays decisions on altcoin ETFs: XRP and Dogecoin affected**

The **SEC has postponed** again its decision on several cryptocurrency ETFs, including proposals for **XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE)**, extending the deadlines to **June 2025**. The affected funds are the **Franklin XRP Fund** (new deadline: June 17) and the **Bitwise Dogecoin ETF** (June 15).

This delay is part of a usual pattern of the SEC, which is currently reviewing **more than 70 crypto ETF applications**, from Solana to memecoins like DOGE. Analysts such as **James Seyffart (Bloomberg)** point out that these delays are "procedural" and do not indicate a rejection, reminding that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs went through similar processes.

**Market Impact**:

- The price of **XRP fell by 3%** after the announcement, although it maintains weekly gains of 7%.

- **DOGE** remained stable, supported by its high market capitalization ($26 billion).

**Outlook**:

Despite the delays, there is optimism about approvals in **2025**, especially under the Trump administration, which has pushed a more favorable stance towards crypto. Meanwhile, institutional focus on altcoins continues to grow, with giants like **Franklin Templeton ($1.5 trillion in assets)** leading the race.
