The SEC just postponed two of Grayscale’s ETF applications, specifically those concerning Solana and Litecoin. This latest announcement adds to the Commission’s recent series of decisions to push back several altcoin ETFs from different asset managers.
Several prominent ETF analysts also declined to publicly comment on this delay. In the long run, SEC approval is still very likely, even if it takes a few months to be finalized.
Since the SEC came under new management under the Trump administration, it’s been hit with a flood of ETF proposals. Although professional analysts and community enthusiasts are bullish about approval odds, it hasn’t happened yet.
Nonetheless, when the Commission postponed Grayscale’s Solana and Litecoin ETF applications, reactions have been muted.
“Institution of proceedings does not indicate that the Commission has reached any conclusions with respect to any of the issues involved. Rather, the Commission seeks and encourages interested persons to provide comments on the proposed rule change,” the SEC claimed in its delay filing.
Indeed, the Commission has been postponing several ETF applications over the last few weeks. When the SEC delayed Canary Capital’s Litecoin ETF, this fell in line with analysts’ predictions.
Previously, analysts claimed that a Litecoin ETF is more likely than any other altcoin product, but didn’t comment on today’s events.
The market is also anticipating a Solana ETF, but progress isn’t coming yet. At this point, the market is starting to price in these delays.
Last week, Litecoin rallied after the SEC delayed an ETF filing, defying bearish assumptions. So far, neither of the underlying tokens has seen much of a price move after the Commission’s announcement.
Still, there are plenty of reasons to be bullish about approval in the long term. Less than a week ago, the SEC met with representatives from BlackRock to discuss ETF regulations.
These talks included high-level associates from the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF issuer; the Head and Director of both Digital Assets and Regulatory Affairs were present.
In other words, the SEC is delaying things, but it’s probably going to approve several of these altcoin ETFs in the end. The Commission is seeking industry feedback on long-term implications, but it hasn’t given an outwardly negative sign yet.
Of course, the industry would love speedy SEC approval for all these ETF filings. However, as the recent rate cuts saga clearly indicates, it doesn’t need things like this to maintain profitability.
The crypto market has a lot of solid fundamentals right now, which will benefit these assets, even if the Commission keeps dragging its feet for months.

Litecoin (LTC) price opened the third week of May 2025 in a bullish outlook, after rallying more than 23 percent last week. The veteran altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $7.77 billion, gained around 2.4 percent in the last 24 hours to trade about $102 on Monday, 2025 during the late North American trading session.
Amid the heightened crypto volatility, which led to over $709 in net liquidations today, nearly $2 million involved LTC leveraged trades. Furthermore, Litecoin’s futures open interest surged over 9 percent in the last 24 hours to hover about $691 million at the time of this writing.
As one of the top-tier altcoin that is secured through the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, the Litecoin network has attracted significant attention from both retail and institutional investors. According to on-chain data analysis, the Litecoin network continued to process over 1 million transactions per week, thus having processed over 25 million transactions year-to-date.
Meanwhile, institutional investors, led by fund managers, continue to press to offer regulated Litecoin’s investment products such as ETFs and ETPs. Last week, Valor Inc., a digital asset management wing firm for DeFi Technologies, unveiled LTC’s ETP on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market.
In the United States, several fund managers, led by Canary Capital, continue to pressure the U.S. SEC to approve Litecoin ETFs soon.
Following a successful rebound from a multi-year rising logarithmic trend in the past few weeks, LTC price has approached a crucial liquidity zone of around $107. Since the Litecoin network undertook its third halving on August 2, 2023, LTC price has mostly consolidated below $107 to date.
However, LTC’s macro-bullish momentum has gained significant traction in the recent past. In the weekly timeframe, LTC’s MACD line is almost crossing the Signal line amid growing bullish histograms.
A consistent close above $107 will propel LTC price toward its all-time high in the subsequent weeks. However, a possible rejection at about $107 will lead to another correction towards the support level of about $81.

The post Robert Kiyosaki Says Bitcoin Is the Better Investment Not Gold or Silver appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
As gold inches closer to the $5,000 mark, investors are turning their attention to Bitcoin. Historically, when both assets rally, Bitcoin tends to outperform — and with gold making fresh highs, analysts believe Bitcoin could be next.
“21 million is 21 million.” That’s the message from Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, in a recent post on X. While he owns gold and silver mines, Kiyosaki emphasized that unlike metals, Bitcoin’s supply is permanently fixed at 21 million coins — no central bank or mining firm can produce more.
This scarcity, he argues, is what makes Bitcoin the most reliable hedge against inflation, monetary debasement, and global uncertainty.
“I can always mine more gold if prices rise,” he said, “but Bitcoin is locked forever.”
Gold surged to $3,500 in April before cooling to $3,237 as of May 5 — still a 33% gain YTD. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has remained flat with just a 0.82% rise this year. But this may be the calm before a breakout.
Crypto analyst Cryptollica points to historical patterns: from March 2020 to March 2022, gold rose 35.5%, while Bitcoin soared over 1,100%. If a similar trend plays out, BTC could rally to $155,000, especially if it breaks its current resistance range.
The upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decision is another catalyst. Despite Donald Trump pushing for a rate cut, the CME FedWatch Tool shows a 97% probability the Fed will keep rates steady this week. However, if policy shifts in the second half of 2025, it could unleash a wave of liquidity — boosting both gold and Bitcoin.
Kiyosaki’s endorsement is more than just hype — it taps into Bitcoin’s core value proposition. If history repeats, Bitcoin may soon outshine gold in the race for store-of-value supremacy.
