The SEC pushes back decisions on Bitwise Dogecoin and Grayscale Hedera ETFs, setting a new deadline for November 12.
- SEC postpones ruling on Bitwise Dogecoin and Grayscale Hedera ETFs
- New decision deadline is set for November 12
- Delay highlights ongoing regulatory uncertainty around crypto ETFs
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again delayed its decisions on two highly anticipated cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs): the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and the Grayscale Hedera ETF. These delays are not uncommon in the SEC’s review process for crypto-related products, as the agency continues to take a cautious approach toward regulating digital assets.
This latest delay pushes the decision date to November 12, extending the uncertainty for investors and crypto enthusiasts waiting for broader institutional access to altcoins like Dogecoin and Hedera (HBAR).
Understanding the Reason for the Delay
While the SEC did not give specific reasons for the postponement, the move reflects the agency’s broader stance on crypto. The SEC typically uses these delays to gather more feedback from the public and industry stakeholders. They may also be seeking more clarity on the market risks, investor protections, and the underlying technology behind the digital assets in question.
Both Bitwise and Grayscale are leading crypto asset managers. Bitwise’s proposal for a Dogecoin ETF aims to bring the popular meme coin to mainstream investors, while Grayscale’s Hedera ETF would offer exposure to the Hedera Hashgraph network, known for its speed and energy efficiency.
What This Means for the Crypto Market
These delays underscore the SEC’s reluctance to approve altcoin-based ETFs, even as it faces pressure to provide clearer guidelines for the crypto industry. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have made some headway, altcoins still face a steeper regulatory path.
For now, the market will have to wait until November 12 to see whether the SEC moves forward—or delays again.
