Today, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moved to withdraw all filings of the 19B-4.
According to the latest Intel, ETF projects related to Solana (Sol), Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Dogecoin (Doge) & Ethereum (ETH) have been affected by the change. Does this mean earning crypto ETF yields?
Despite a legitimate setback, ETF is still playing
If we decipher the meaning of these ETFs’ SEC withdrawal, we can say that ETF items with staking capabilities will not come anytime soon. Certainly, the Crypto community should rely on decisions made in spot price tracking ETFs from late October to early November 2025.
Considering only ETF pitches linked to the spot market value of digital assets, the SEC may expand its AltCoin ETF range, judging from estimates from top Bloomberg analysts and public votes. In this opinion, Polymet bettors are Polymet bettors, as Bloomberg’s Eric Baltunas is paying the odds of 95% approval by the end of the year.
The first one that will appear is the Grayscale XRP ETF for the settlement on October 18th, 2025. The clarity of the regulations has peaked as the largest US financial regulator recently sealed its contract with Ripple Labs with a $50 million fine. However, due to the roller coaster of tariffs, the geopolitical market situation remains uncertain.

People ask:
The SEC has requested that the issuer withdraw the 19B-4 filing of SPOTETFS, which tracks XRP, Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and more.
The staking features of these Altcoin ETFs that allow yield generation are not supported by the new general purpose standard. Approvals are only available at spots except staking to avoid the risk of securities classification.
Reset the timeline and shift focus to S-1 registration. The SEC could be approved or rejected at any time without a fixed deadline, potentially speeding up the launch of spot ETFs, but could delay staking indefinitely.
Following the announcement on September 29, 2025, filers such as Bitwise, 21Shares, Vaneck, Vaneck, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, Coinshares and Canary Capital had to withdraw their proposals for XRP, ADA, SOL and related ETFs.
Spot approvals (95% odds per year-end per analyst) are positive, paving the way for faster launches under general rules, but staking leaves the table and limits investors’ yields.
