SEC Postpones Decision on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to 2025

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on WisdomTree and VanEck’s spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, pushing the timeline to June 2025. This rescheduling reflects the SEC’s careful approach when evaluating novel financial instruments. Potential impacts include changes in liquidity for both Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as potential shifts in tax regulations. The delay is causing mixed reactions from community members, with some expressing cautious optimism about future approvals.
