SEC Delays Truth Social Bitcoin ETF Decision to 2025

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF application. 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 new deadline is set for September 18, 2025, affecting Trump Media’s ETF aspirations. This action marks another review period.

Key players include Trump Media, owning the Truth Social platform, and its association with Donald Trump. As of now, there are no official announcements or statements from Truth Social executives regarding this decision.

The delay affects the cryptocurrency market, particularly concerning Bitcoin ETF inflows. Historically, such delays lead to temporary market stagnation. The broader market reaction to this specific delay remains variable without official data or statements released.

Financially, spot Bitcoin ETFs have already reported inflows exceeding $54.8 billion since January 2025. However, this specific ETF’s delay might influence investor confidence, affecting short-term investment decisions and Bitcoin price movements.

Past SEC actions on ETF proposals reveal patterns of investor uncertainty and modest sell-offs in Bitcoin. It is plausible that similar market responses could occur following this delay decision.

Potential outcomes might involve regulatory implications for future ETF applications. Historical trends indicate delays stall Bitcoin-based ETPs growth, although specific impacts on this continue to unfold without official commentaries.
