Polkadot ETF Decision Postponed to November 8, 2025  

The SEC has delayed its decision regarding the Polkadot ETF application submitted by 21Shares. The initial evaluation date was set for June 24, 2025. However, the Commission extended the review period due to its cautious approach toward cryptocurrency-related ETF applications. The new decision date is now set for November 8, 2025.  

Previously, Grayscale’s Polkadot ETF application also faced delays, with an expected decision on June 11 being postponed. This shows the SEC’s ongoing meticulous analysis process concerning crypto ETF proposals.  

This extension is not exclusive to Polkadot. ETF applications for popular altcoins such as XRP, Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) have also faced similar delays.  

DOT Price Rises 8.55%, Market Remains Hopeful  

Polkadot’s price has increased by 8.55% in the last 24 hours, despite the decision delay, as investor interest continues to grow. Two primary reasons lie behind this surge: easing tensions between Iran and Israel and an improved overall market sentiment. Bitcoin breaking the $106,000 level also contributed to the rally in the altcoin market.  

Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart view the SEC’s interactions with crypto ETFs positively. They estimate a 90% chance of approval for the 21Shares Polkadot ETF. Seyffart noted that the process could extend into the final quarter of the year, but the SEC’s constructive stance is promising.  

Meanwhile, in 2026, memecoin-based ETFs such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are expected to enter discussions. The SEC is anticipated to prioritize key concerns such as market manipulation, volatility, and investor protection when evaluating these products

21Shares isn’t alone in its ambitions. Grayscale submitted its own Polkadot ETF application to the SEC via Nasdaq on February 25. These filings highlight a growing race among asset managers to secure crypto ETF approvals.

Meanwhile, DOT continues to trade around $4.50, maintaining a crucial support zone at $4. On the weekly chart, DOT appears to be forming a falling wedge pattern — a potential bullish reversal signal. A breakout above the $10 level would confirm the pattern and could trigger a strong rally. However, falling below $4 would invalidate the setup and may lead to a drop to $3.60.

Polkadot 2.0 Launch Adds Momentum

In addition to the ETF developments, investors are closely watching the anticipated Polkadot 2.0 upgrade, expected in Q1 of 2025. The upgrade aims to significantly boost the network’s scalability and developer experience. A testnet version is already available via the Kusama network.
