SEC Delays Decisions on XRP and Dogecoin ETFs

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decisions regarding proposed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for XRP and Dogecoin until June 17, 2025. This delay affects applications from Cboe BZX Exchange for a Franklin Templeton XRP ETF and NYSE Arca for a Bitwise Dogecoin ETF, both submitted in March. The SEC's review of approximately 70 crypto ETF proposals, including those for altcoins like Solana and Litecoin, reflects a growing interest in altcoin investment products. Despite this surge, analysts indicate that investor demand for altcoin ETFs remains low compared to Bitcoin and Ether. A final ruling on these proposals may not arrive until around October 18, 2025, with exchanges advocating for stricter SEC oversight of cryptocurrency products.
