SEC Extends Altcoin ETF Decision Timeline to 2025
The SEC has postponed decisions on ETF proposals for XRP, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, extending the regulatory timeline. These proposals, submitted by major exchanges, highlight ongoing interest from institutional investors.
21Shares, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton have submitted requests for these ETFs. The submissions, spearheaded by known exchanges, aim to gain approval amid a cautious regulatory atmosphere.
Investor Uncertainty Rises Amid SEC’s ETF Delays
The delay is creating uncertainty among investors, leading to potential market volatility. Industry stakeholders express cautious optimism but remain frustrated by regulatory hesitance.
Financial markets are closely watching these developments, as ETF approvals could enhance liquidity and institutional participation in these altcoin markets.
Lessons from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Approvals
The delay resonates with earlier Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF timelines, where approvals followed significant scrutiny. Such precedents suggest possible long-term benefits for altcoins post-approval.
Experts like James Seyffart predict potential SEC approval by Q4 2025. Historical trends indicate such decisions may positively affect adoption, despite short-term uncertainties.
James Seyffart, ETF Analyst, Bloomberg, said, “If we’re gonna see early approvals from the SEC on any of these assets — I wouldn’t expect to see them until late June or early July at absolute earliest. More likely to be in early 4Q.”
