Crypto ETF Deadlines Loom: July and October Are the Make-or-Break Months

Regulators keep kicking the can—but the clock’s ticking for spot crypto ETFs. Two dates matter now: July and October.

Wall Street’s latest shiny object? A bitcoin ETF that somehow still isn’t real. After a decade of false starts, these next deadlines actually mean something. Or they would, if the SEC hadn’t perfected the art of bureaucratic delay.

Here’s the playbook: Watch for filings getting approved (or mysteriously ’delayed for review’) as summer heats up. Then brace for October—when the last batch of applications either gets rubber-stamped or tossed into regulatory purgatory.

Funny how traditional finance suddenly wants crypto exposure... right after retail traders got wrecked chasing the last bull run. Maybe this time they’ll let mom-and-pop investors front-run the pump for once.
