Key Takeaways:
• The SEC has delayed its decision on multiple spot ETFs, including applications for Solana, Litecoin, XRP, and Dogecoin.
• Bloomberg analysts say the delay was expected and does not reduce the likelihood of approval, with final deadlines not until October.
Paradisers! Every time the SEC delays an ETF decision, the market reacts with frustration, but should it?
The regulator has pushed back its decision on a range of altcoin ETFs, affecting applications from VanEck, Grayscale, and Canary, among others. Some investors are already speculating whether this means the SEC is hesitant to approve these ETFs or if they’re simply following their usual process.
Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart believe it’s the latter. According to Seyffart, this delay was fully expected and does not mean approval is less likely. In fact, he emphasized that the final deadlines for these ETFs aren’t until October, meaning there’s still plenty of time for approvals to happen.
Why the Delay Matters (And Why It Doesn’t)
In the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approval cycles, similar delays were routine before they ultimately got the green light. The SEC’s decision to postpone everything, including pending rule changes for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, suggests that this isn’t about targeting specific altcoins—it’s about standard regulatory procedures.
However, there’s a wildcard factor this time around—new SEC Chair nominee Paul Atkins. He hasn’t started his role yet, meaning the commission may be delaying until its new leadership is in place.
What Traders Should Watch Next
The October deadline gives the market a long runway for speculation, positioning, and potential volatility. If approvals do happen, these ETFs could trigger another wave of institutional inflows, just as we saw with Bitcoin and Ethereum. But if the SEC drags its feet beyond October, expect major market reactions.
The real question is how traders should prepare now, because by the time the final decision comes, the market will have already moved.
