XRP News Today: SEC Delays XRP Dogecoin Litecoin ETF Decisions to October 2025 Amid Scrutiny

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decisions on ETF applications for XRP, Dogecoin, and Litecoin to October 2025, citing the need for further review amid heightened political scrutiny [1]. This move includes a delay for the Truth Social Bitcoin-Ethereum ETF, whose approval is now expected by October 8. The SEC has not publicly detailed the rationale behind the postponement, but watchdog groups have raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, particularly regarding Donald Trump’s financial ties to crypto ventures [2].

The delay impacts a range of cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, with investors and market participants closely monitoring how the SEC will handle newer digital assets. The agency’s approach to these tokens remains under scrutiny, as they differ in use cases and market dynamics from Bitcoin, which has seen limited regulatory hurdles for ETF approvals [3].

Market observers note that the SEC’s decision could influence investor confidence and market strategies as the regulatory landscape remains fluid. The prolonged evaluation period has prompted concerns among some analysts that delays may deter institutional investors and slow the pace of innovation in the crypto sector [4]. For now, the October deadline provides additional time for the SEC to assess potential risks and ensure regulatory alignment with existing frameworks.

The SEC's ongoing review process underscores the evolving challenges in regulating digital assets. While the agency continues to evaluate proposals, the broader market remains in a holding pattern, waiting for clarity on whether these ETFs will gain access to U.S. exchanges [1]. The outcome could set a precedent for how the SEC approaches future crypto-related investment products, shaping the trajectory of the industry for years to come.
