SEC Defers Verdict on Seven Major Crypto ETFs to October 2025

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has extended its decision deadlines for seven well-known cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund submissions into October 2025. 21Shares Core XRP and CoinShares' proposals are among XRP trusts that have been rescued till October 19; Solana ETFs from 21Shares and Bitwise are set for October 16; the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF now faces an October 8, 2025 due date. Other altcoin-linked items, including a Litecoin ETF from CoinShares and a Dogecoin ETF from Grayscale, are covered under additional deferrals.

By using its whole review period, the SEC hopes to gather greater public input and guarantee regulatory clarity and investor protection in a changing crypto environment. This builds on a summer-long pattern of delayed judgments in the face of increased interest from established organizations. At the same time, new legislative ideas are under deliberation with the aim to accelerate next ETF approvals, so perhaps shortening such protracted review schedules.

Market analysts remain optimistic despite the delays, citing the last year's acceptance of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs as a yardstick for final approvals. Once the SEC reopens these applications, many anticipate several green lights flashing at once in October 2025—signaling a new era of controlled crypto investment instruments.
