SEC Delays Decision on Dogecoin and Hedera ETFs, Signaling Increased Scrutiny of Crypto Products

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed decisions on two key cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications. Bitwise’s proposed Dogecoin ETF and Grayscale’s Hedera ETF will now be subject to further review, with a new deadline of November 12. This delay reflects the SEC’s increasing focus on reviewing crypto ETFs as institutional interest in digital assets has grown. The agency is still evaluating whether these products meet regulatory standards for investor protection.
