The SEC actually pushed back XRP ETF approvals until October 2025, which has affected Solana ETF news along with the Litecoin ETF update. Regulators have extended the official decision deadline for SPOT ETF applications from key asset managers such as Bitwise, Grayscale, and Coinshares, essentially keeping the possibility of XRP ETF approval open even in the currently expanded timeline.
SEC will delay XRP, SOL and LTC ETFs until the end of 2025
The “latest and biggest” action taken by the SEC to actually extend the XRP ETF list timeline in October 2025 is essentially about applications that are currently ready to start by players at the institution. The development of these Ethereum ETFs is actually part of a broader regulatory review, and this approach within Litecoin ETF news continues mostly with the procedural extension that keeps doors open to reworked ETF applications.
What are the timelines and market impacts of regulations?
So now market participants like Nate Gelach in ETF stores are actually offering insight into the approval process. Industry analysts are really pointing to the precedents of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approval. This is very interesting when you think about it. This essentially suggests that XRP’s ETF approval remains viable despite these delays we are currently seeing.
Nate Gelach said:
“The SEC is conducting careful reviews, but approval remains possible if regulatory concerns are addressed by October 2025.”
It led to short-term volatility, but institutional managers still hold their ground. Past experience with approval of BTC and ETH ETFs suggests that a large influx could continue after regulatory authorities grant approval.
Institutional positioning and future prospects
Asset managers such as Bitise, Grayscale, and Coinshares are in the infrastructure preparation stage in case approvals are made in October at this point. The Solana ETF News and Litecoin ETF updates show the same level of commitment by the agency despite the long time to obtain approval.
Existing SEC Crypto regulations have also been developed, and the application of these Altcoin ETFs is also a major challenge in adding digital assets. The October 2025 deadline actually serves as an important marker for XRP ETF approval in my view. Of course, this applies to the wider US crypto ETF futures as well.
