SEC Postpones Key Crypto ETF Decisions – XRP, DOGE, and ETH in Regulatory Limbo

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has kicked the can down the road—again—delaying verdicts on spot ETF applications for XRP, Dogecoin, and Ethereum. Traders left scratching their heads as regulators prove they’d rather study volatility than actually manage it.

Market impact? Minimal. Crypto’s already priced in the SEC’s trademark bureaucratic foot-dragging. Meanwhile, Wall Street quietly stacks Bitcoin ETFs like they’re discount NFTs.

The U.S. SEC has postponed its decisions on several crypto ETF proposals, including 21Shares Core XRP Trust, Grayscale XRP Trust, and Grayscale Dogecoin Trust. The agency is also delaying its decision on Bitwise’s ethereum ETF with staking. The SEC has called for public comments on these proposals, signaling a longer review process. As interest in crypto ETFs grows, these delays highlight the regulatory caution surrounding digital asset investment products in the U.S.
