The SEC has postponed decisions on Canary Capital and Grayscale crypto ETFs until October 2025, impacting applications related to XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.
This delay signals continued regulatory scrutiny, adding to market uncertainty and affecting capital allocations for major cryptocurrencies in the U.S.
Market Implications
The U.S. SEC has postponed decisions on several crypto ETF applications until October 2025. This includes Grayscale and Canary Capital proposals for XRP, Ethereum, and Solana spot ETFs.
Canary Capital, Grayscale, 21Shares, CoinShares, and Bitwise are key players facing delays. The SEC cites the need for further evaluation and public opinion as reasons for extending the review period. According to the SEC Filing, August 18, 2025, “The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein.”
The delay impacts institutional capital allocations to several digital assets on hold. Market uncertainty is heightened, affecting potential investments in XRP, Ethereum, and Solana in the U.S.
Market Volatility
The SEC’s decisions impact financial markets by causing volatility among targeted crypto assets, including XRP, ETH, BTC, SOL, and DOGE. Investors remain cautious pending further regulatory clarity.
The U.S. crypto sector faces a regulatory bottleneck affecting asset flows. Industry participants await significant rulings on potential spot ETF approvals for key cryptocurrencies.
Historically, postponed decisions prompt temporary market hesitation. Continuing delays might suggest a cautious regulatory approach towards digital asset integration in the financial system.
