Altcoin ETFs Remain Pending: October Deadline Looms for XRP, Solana, and Litecoin

The SEC has once again delayed approvals for Altcoin ETFs, leaving institutional investors in a holding pattern while major asset managers like Bitwise, Grayscale, and CoinShares await clarity. This echoes prior delays seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF applications, keeping the possibility of approval alive but extending uncertainty. 2025’s October deadline will serve as a crucial turning point for altcoin ETFs in the U.S., although SEC officials remain cautious about potential risks while also acknowledging that approvals are possible if market concerns are addressed before then.
