The US SEC has delayed its decision on Grayscale’s Cardano ETF and Avalanche ETF applications. The final deadline for the Cardano ETF ruling remains October 22, 2025, within the 240-day review period.
SEC Extends Timeline for Cardano ETFs: The SEC needs more time to assess the Cardano ETF proposal and collect public comments. This has impacted the market performance with price drops in Cardano and Avalanche.
Avalanche ETF Application Also Faces Postponement: The SEC has extended the review timeline for the Avalanche ETF application, requiring more analysis to ensure market integrity requirements are met.
Cardano ETFs Face Longer Wait Period: The delay in decisions for spot crypto ETF applications, including Cardano and Avalanche, suggests a trend of postponing such rulings by the SEC. Despite this, some ETF approvals for Bitcoin and Ethereum came before the 240-day deadline, leaving room for optimism.
