LTC Market Watches SEC’s Delayed Bitcoin ETF Decision Amid Regulatory Uncertainty
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on a Bitcoin ETF proposed by Trump Media & Technology Group, linked to Truth Social, until September 18, 2025. This delay, under new SEC Chair Paul Atkins, signals a broader regulatory slowdown impacting crypto markets. While the announcement doesn’t directly involve Litecoin (LTC), the uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin ETFs could influence broader cryptocurrency sentiment, including LTC's trajectory. Investors are closely monitoring how regulatory hesitancy may affect institutional adoption and market liquidity. The extended timeline offers both risks and opportunities for altcoins like LTC, depending on broader BTC ETF outcomes.
SEC Delays Decision on Trump-Linked Truth Social Bitcoin ETF Until September
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has extended its review period for a Bitcoin ETF proposed by Truth Social, the social media platform tied to former President Donald Trump. The agency now has until September 18 to make a determination on the application submitted by Trump Media & Technology Group.
This delay reflects a broader regulatory slowdown under new SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who has also postponed decisions on other crypto investment vehicles including the Grayscale Solana Trust and a Litecoin ETF proposal from Canary Capital. The SEC historically takes the full 270-day review period for ETF applications as it negotiates technical details with issuers.
The Truth Social bitcoin ETF marks another attempt to bridge digital assets with mainstream finance, coming eighteen months after the SEC approved the first wave of spot Bitcoin ETFs under former Chair Gary Gensler. Those products have since attracted over $55 billion in combined assets.

Trump Expands USA’s Strategic Crypto Reserve with New Altcoin Focus
President Donald Trump is set to enhance the United States’ Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve by adding new digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The move follows the approval of spot ETFs for both leading cryptocurrencies, signaling growing institutional acceptance. Speculation centers on altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Cardano as potential additions.
Market analysts identify Litecoin, Hedera, Polkadot, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Avalanche, and Aptos as frontrunners for inclusion. Dogecoin’s $32.4 billion valuation and cultural cachet position it as a strong contender. Hedera and Chainlink, with their security-focused infrastructures, align with national strategic interests. Litecoin appears poised for ETF approval, with experts citing a 90% likelihood by year-end.
The administration’s "U.S.-controlled crypto strategy" underscores a deliberate shift toward digital asset diversification. Timing of ETF approvals remains critical, as institutional interest continues to reshape the crypto landscape.
