#AltcoinETFsPostponed

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its review of several high-profile altcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, extending deadlines into mid-June 2025. Among those delayed are proposals for spot XRP and Dogecoin ETFs, now set for decisions on June 17 and June 15, respectively .

Beyond XRP and DOGE, the SEC also pushed out rulings on spot Solana (SOL), Hedera (HBAR), and Litecoin (LTC) ETF filings, citing the need for additional time to assess market structure and surveillance agreements . These extensions follow a familiar pattern of procedural reviews—analysts emphasize that past delays for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs ultimately preceded approvals, and they regard the current postponements as routine rather than hostile .

Investor enthusiasm for altcoin ETFs remains tempered by regulatory caution, but asset-management firms and market observers retain a relatively optimistic outlook. Final SEC rulings on most altcoin ETF applications are now expected by October 2025, marking a critical juncture for broader crypto adoption on Wall Street.
