Recent news shows that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to delay its decision on altcoin ETF funds. The ETFs tracking cryptocurrencies like XRP and Dogecoin are now expected to have a new decision deadline in June 2025.

This delay comes after the new SEC Chairman, Paul Atkins, took office, who is seen as crypto-friendly. Nevertheless, the SEC is still proceeding cautiously in approving new cryptocurrency investment products. Analysts believe there could be further delays, with potential deadlines for many cryptocurrency ETF decisions falling into the fourth quarter of 2025.
