The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/strong> has postponed its decision on whether to approve an exchange-traded fund (ETF<\/strong>) containing Polkadot<\/strong>\u2019s native token. According to a filing on April 24, a final ruling on the Grayscale Polkadot Trust<\/strong> has been extended to June 11. The application was initially submitted by Nasdaq<\/strong> on February 24.<\/p>\n

Grayscale<\/strong> joins around 70 other pending ETF filings, which include proposals for altcoins<\/strong>, memecoins<\/strong>, and crypto-based financial instruments. Bloomberg\u2019s Eric Balchunas noted that asset managers are pitching ETFs for \u201ceverything from XRP, Litecoin, and Solana to Doge, 2x Melania, and more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Launched in 2020, Polkadot<\/strong> is a layer-1 blockchain<\/strong> network. Its native token DOT<\/strong> was priced at $4.34<\/strong> as of April 24, with a market cap of around $6.6 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Grayscale\u2019s ETF Vision Extends Beyond Bitcoin And Ethereum<\/h2>\n

Grayscale<\/strong> isn\u2019t limiting its ETF ambitions to just Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong> and Ethereum (ETH)<\/strong>. It has also filed to launch funds for Solana (SOL)<\/strong>, Litecoin (LTC)<\/strong>, XRP<\/strong>, Dogecoin (DOGE)<\/strong>, and Cardano (ADA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As competition in the crypto investment space heats up, other asset managers like 21Shares<\/strong> are also awaiting approval for their Polkadot ETF<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A March report by Coinbase<\/strong> and EY-Parthenon<\/strong> revealed that over 80%<\/strong> of institutional investors plan to increase their crypto allocations in 2025. Still, analysts caution that demand for altcoin ETFs<\/strong> may lag behind interest in major crypto assets like Bitcoin<\/strong> and Ethereum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
