SEC Delays Decision on Ether ETF Proposals, Putting Market Uncertainty in Focus

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed its decision on several high-profile crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposals, including Bitwise’s Ether staking ETF and Grayscale’s XRP ETF. This delay marks the latest example of a cautious regulatory approach toward digital asset products. The SEC extended the review period for Bitwise’s proposal to include Ether staking in a spot ETF, adding another layer of uncertainty to the market.
