Will the SEC Ever Decide? Crypto’s Cliffhanger Continues! 🚀🤯

by

Ah, the venerable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission—tardy guardian of our digital gold—has once again decided that the path to trendy altcoin ETFs is best traversed in a contemplative, perhaps meditative, manner. Yes, dear reader, they have shrouded their verdicts on the spot XRP and Dogecoin ETFs—quintessential tokens of our modern meme economy—in a veiled curtain of delay, pushing the fateful June date further into the mists of time. Perhaps they’re simply pondering whether to grant these applications the divine right to be traded like fancy stocks or to keep us dangling. 🎭

In the early days of this year’s chaos, 21Shares, a name that sounds more like an international espionage agency than a financial entity, dared to dream of an XRP ETF via the Cboe BZX Exchange, only to be met with the strict gaze of regulatory patience. Meanwhile, March’s Grayscale, ever the ambitious investor’s emissary, queued up a spot Dogecoin ETF after launching its DOGE Trust—like a child asking for a pony, but instead receiving a stern “Maybe someday.”

Delays are the new black. XRP ETPs are penciled in for the coming days, but don’t get your hopes—or your hopes’ hopes—up just yet. If the SEC decides to be generous, it might bless us with approval late June, or, more likely, in the grand finale of early 4Q—because patience is a virtue, right? 🌟 — James Seyffart (@JSeyff)

Each of these cryptic submissions is scrutinized under the stern eye of Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, a regulation that sounds as convoluted as the industry itself. The authorities plan to announce their verdicts for XRP by June 17 and similar for Dogecoin. But don’t hold your breath—these delays are like a never-ending sitcom episode—full of hope, disappointment, and the occasional meme-worthy plot twist.

Despite the bureaucratic ballet, the market shows resilience—XRP dances at $2.355 with a modest 1.66% pirouette, while Dogecoin charms its way up 0.75% to $0.2264. CoinMarketCap reports the numbers, but who’s really counting? Certainly not the SEC, apparently, which continues its leisurely approach—add Solana to the list of delayed heroes, proving no asset is safe from the regulatory pause button.

Bloomberg’s James Seyffart dismisses these delays as “business as usual,” a phrase that sounds more like a euphemism for “we’re just making it more dramatic.” Should XRP receive the coveted approval come June, it will be a rare and celebrated event—like spotting a unicorn at a coffee shop. With Paul Atkins at the helm, some whisper of hope emerges—his forward-thinking stance might just tilt the scales and finally give these avatar-assets their day in the sun. Until then, we wait, we speculate, and we meme on.
