The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has pushed back the decision deadlines for multiple spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), delaying these approvals until October 19, 2025. This marks the second delay since initial filings in February, with the SEC citing a need for additional time to review public feedback and address potential compliance concerns. The Bitwise, CoinShares, and 21Shares proposals have also been subject to extensions, further impacting their timelines. Industry experts speculate that the SEC may approve or deny all pending XRP ETFs at once, similar to previous approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. Meanwhile, the SEC is delaying other altcoin ETF applications too, including those for Solana, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Cardano, Hedera, Avalanche, and even Truth Social’s Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. This suggests a potential strategy of simultaneous approvals for broader market impact.
