SEC Puts Brakes on Crypto ETF Launch, Delaying Trader Dreams
Published Date: 5/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The SEC is taking extra time to review Nasdaq’s plan to list and trade shares of the VanEck JitoSOL ETF, a new commodity-based fund. This means investors and traders will have to wait a bit longer—until June 18, 2026—for a final decision. No money changes hands now, but this delay ensures the SEC carefully checks everything before giving the green light.

SEC delays decision on JitoSOL ETF
If you planned to buy or trade the VanEck JitoSOL ETF, the SEC has extended its review and pushed the final decision to June 18, 2026. Nasdaq filed the listing proposal on March 10, 2026 and it was published for comment on March 20, 2026; the original 45-day review would have ended on May 4, 2026. No money changes hands now — the extension simply means investors and traders must wait for the SEC’s decision.
