The decision for the LTC-based investment products in the US will likely be announced on Oct. 2. The deadline for the US-based spot SOL ETFs is scheduled for Oct. 10.
Spot XRP ETFs came a little short with an 85% chance of receiving the approval to launch in 2025. The final Securities and Exchange Commission deadline is set for Oct. 17 for the long-awaited XRP-based investment products.

XRP faced a mild price correction after the delay on the ETF decision.
XRP dropped 3% and is trading at $2.2 at the time of writing. Ripple’s flagship digital asset is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency in the market with a total value of almost $130 billion.
Notably, XRP’s price drop has aligned with a market-wide correction. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the global crypto market cap declined 0.4% to $2.96 trillion.
Many analysts still believe that the approval of spot XRP ETFs could help it reach new all-time highs, similar to the Bitcoin-based investment products.
