SEC Delays Decisions on XRP and Dogecoin ETFs: Implications for Institutional Investors

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decisions regarding spot XRP and Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, shifting the timeline to mid-June 2025. Key applicants include Franklin Templeton and Cboe BZX Exchange, which have been involved in this process for some time. This delay comes as no surprise as SEC review processes often require extended durations. The market has largely remained calm, with XRP and Dogecoin’s price movements relatively unchanged. However, institutional investors may be impacted by these delays, potentially influencing future market trends and investor action.
