SEC Delays Hedera HBAR ETF Decision, Raising Market Uncertainty

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on the Hedera HBAR ETF application filed by Canary Capital, adding to market uncertainty around the future of crypto-ETFs in the country. The delay, which includes requests for further public input, underscores a recurring pattern of procedural extensions in the review process for cryptocurrency ETFs. While initial market reactions have been largely neutral, industry analysts are watching closely for potential shifts in investment strategy as regulatory hurdles continue to impact the digital asset landscape.
