SEC Fast-Tracks Altcoin ETFs: Solana, XRP, DOGE in Focus

The SEC just approved a major rule change on July 30, 2025, making it easier and faster to launch altcoin ETFs. Instead of waiting 240 days, issuers can now file a basic S-1, wait 75 days, and go live—if the altcoin meets the new listing standards.

To qualify, a token needs 6 months of futures trading on a regulated exchange like CME or Coinbase Derivatives, along with liquidity safeguards and strict disclosures.

The public comment window closes in early August, so approvals could start by mid-September—setting up potential ETF launches by Q4.

$SOL , $XRP , $DOGE , and others may lead the way, opening the door to increased liquidity, tighter spreads, and a surge in institutional interest.

This move could be a major step toward mainstream altcoin adoption.
