U.S. SEC delays decision on Bitwise and 21Shares' Solana ETF proposal to October 16
According to The Block, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on whether to approve the Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal. The SEC stated in a submitted document that the next deadline for the Bitwise Solana ETF and 21Shares Core Solana ETF is set for October 16. Both documents state: "The Commission believes that designating a longer period to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change is appropriate to provide the Commission with ample time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein."
The proposals for the SOL ETF are making progress as companies modified their filing documents last month to gain SEC approval. Companies including Proshares, Grayscale, Canary, and 21Shares are all awaiting SEC approval.

The SEC stated that the meeting will discuss introducing specific exemptions and safe harbors for crypto asset offerings and sales, and propose adjustments to broker-dealer financial responsibility rules to alleviate compliance burdens in the U.S. Last week, the SEC and CFTC also indicated they would explore coordinated regulation of 24/7 trading hours and spot crypto trading.

October 18 (Saturday)
The Grayscale XRP ETF application was recorded in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) federal register along with four other Solana ETF applications last week. The Solana ETF applications from VanEck, 21Shares, Bitwise, and Canary Capital were submitted on February 18. The recording of the application will trigger a 21-day public comment period, and the regulatory agency is expected to decide on approval, rejection, or further review by October 18. If approved, the XRP ETF will provide users with a regulated investment exposure tool for XRP.
XRP has surged over 381% in the past 12 months and is currently under scrutiny due to legal and regulatory improvements. Recent recovery drivers include rumors that U.S. banks may use it for internal trading and speculation about the SEC's long-term litigation stance against Ripple. The SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, alleging that it raised $1.3 billion through unregistered XRP sales and classified it as a security based on the Howey test.
Arthur Azizov, CEO of crypto payment solution B2BINPAY, stated: "The XRP ETF is very likely to be launched within the year, depending on the speed of resolution of the legal disputes with the SEC."
