The SEC has once again hit pause on crypto ETF decisions—delaying bids from BlackRock, Fidelity & Franklin Templeton to add ETH staking, plus Franklin’s proposed XRP and Solana funds.

The SEC has delayed decisions on several crypto ETF proposals, including amendments that would let BlackRock, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton add ETH staking to their Ethereum funds, as well as Franklin Templeton’s proposed spot Solana and spot XRP ETFs. The new deadlines reported in the filings extend BlackRock’s staking proposal to Oct. 30, Fidelity’s and Franklin’s Ethereum staking requests to Nov. 13, and Franklin’s Solana and XRP products to Nov. 14. The postponements do not signal approval or rejection; rather, the SEC said it needed more time to evaluate the rule-change proposals. The delays fit a broader pattern of the agency extending review periods across a growing slate of crypto ETF filings, with market participants and analysts noting that the SEC is still working through questions around staking mechanics, asset classification, and listing standards while more than 90 crypto ETF applications remain pending.
