SEC Delays Ethereum ETF Decision, Impacting Institutional Investment

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again extended its review of Franklin Templeton’s Ethereum spot ETF with added staking features, pushing the decision to November 13, 2025. This delay highlights ongoing regulatory challenges for crypto ETFs, raising concerns about market confidence and institutional investment strategies in Ethereum and other digital assets. Experts express concern over clear regulatory frameworks as a key factor for market stability. While the SEC’s decision remains pending, the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s observation of stablecoins potential to expand dollar usage indirectly shapes market outlooks.
