The US SEC’s delay on cryptocurrency spot ETFs, including those for popular assets like XRP and Dogecoin, continues to fuel anticipation. The decision regarding Cardano and Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF has been postponed until June 17, 2025, further adding uncertainty. However, two ETF applications, by 21Shares and WisdomTree, are pressing forward with their respective XRP and Dogecoin ETFs. Despite these delays, a prediction platform, Polymarket, remains optimistic, projecting over 68% chance of SEC approval for major altcoins. Their projections suggest a strong likelihood (83%) for XRP’s ETF approval. Other notable coins like Solana, Cardano, and Litecoin are also showing positive signs with contract prices exceeding $0.70. Conversely, PEPE’s prospects remain less favorable, with only a 9% chance of approval. The swift approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January could signify a potential wave of other altcoin ETF approvals in the coming months. Will these delays ultimately lead to more approvals for altcoin spot ETFs early next year? Investors are speculating that significant SEC decisions and upcoming regulatory guidelines will shape this year’s trajectory. Given the uncertainty, market participants are advised to maintain portfolio flexibility by developing hedging strategies using futures trades to mitigate volatility.
