Full List of Cardano ETF Filing with SEC: Dates, Deadlines, and US Government Shutdown

The US government shutdown is causing more delay in ETF approval
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing multiple crypto spot ETF applications. After it approved the generic listing standards in September, the odds of approval have surged. Now, crypto asset management funds are awaiting their approval for Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, and Cardano ETFs.
List of ADA ETFs Filing
Grayscale Cardano Trust
- It filed the necessary S-1 registration and a prior 19b-4 form with the SEC for the ADA ETF. But the 19b-4 is no longer needed, as the agency removed the requirement.
- It is planning to launch with the ticker GADA and list on the NYSE Arca. This move shows that the fund is expanding its altcoin RETF beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- First deadline was scheduled for: April 11, 2025; second deadline: May 26, 2025; third deadline: August 21, 2025. Now, after three delays, its final deadline is set for October 23, 2025.
Tuttle Capital 2X Cardano ETF
- It filed the ETF application on January 28, 2025, under the 1940 Act. It recently changed its final deadline, which was originally set for April 13, 2025.
- The fund filed a Post-Effective Amendment under SEC Rule 485, officially setting October 10, 2025, as the new effective date for its ETF listing.
Why is the SEC Delaying ETF Approval?
In mid-2025, the Commission said it required more time to review the application thoroughly before approving. This was the prime reason for delaying the applications. But now that the deadline has reached its final date, the US government shutdown has led the agency to operate with limited staff. This has caused more delay in the crypto ETFs.
What Are Experts Saying About It?
Many experts showed their enthusiasm as the ETF applications neared their final deadline in October. But since the government announced the shutdown, they advised the crypto users to buckle up for more delays.
President at NovaDius Wealth Management, Nate Geraci said, โLooks like a prolonged government shutdown would definitely impact the launch of new spot crypto ETFs. ETF Cryptober might be on hold for a bit. From the SEC’s “Operations Plan Under a Lapse in Appropriations & Government Shutdown.โ
