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.

President at NovaDius Wealth Management, Nate Geraci said, “Looks 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.”
