美國政府停擺已導緻美國證券交易委員會（SEC）常規的加密貨幣ETF審核工作推遲。儘管SEC在市場出現緊急狀況時仍可繼續採取行動，但首次公開發行（IPO）與ETF等日常審核流程可能暫停。目前待審核的項目（例如萊特幣LTC、索拉納SOL、瑞波幣XRP等），或須等到政府恢復正常運作後，才能完成審核並獲準上市交易。該文章引用彭博社（Bloomberg）ETF分析師艾瑞克·鮑爾丘納斯（Eric Balchunas）的比喻指出，此舉就如同賽事因降雨而延賽。

The U.S. government shutdown has caused delays in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s regular approval process for cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Although the SEC can still take action in the event of market emergencies, routine approval procedures for initial public offerings (IPOs) and ETFs may be suspended. Currently pending approval projects (such as Litecoin [LTC], Solana [SOL], Ripple [XRP], etc.) may have to wait until the government resumes normal operations to complete the approval process and obtain permission for listing and trading. The article cites a metaphor from Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, stating that this move is like a sports event being postponed due to rain.
