According to @0xferg, Coinbase is launching an ICO platform with the SEC's blessing, signaling a possible new pathway for compliant token issuance in the United States (source: @0xferg on X, Nov 11, 2025). The author contrasts this with conditions earlier this year, stating that merely using the term ICO could attract SEC scrutiny, indicating a perceived change in regulatory posture (source: @0xferg on X, Nov 11, 2025). The post does not include links to an SEC filing or a Coinbase investor update; traders should await formal confirmation via SEC EDGAR or Coinbase investor relations before adjusting exposure (source: @0xferg on X, Nov 11, 2025). Coinbase is a publicly listed US company under ticker COIN, so any such initiative would typically be disclosed through official investor communications if confirmed (source: Nasdaq listing records for COIN).

According to the source, an Oct 3, 2025 X post announces an October discussion on potential SEC decisions regarding Solana (SOL), XRP, and Litecoin (LTC) ETFs and their implications for altcoins and investors, source: the referenced X post dated Oct 3, 2025. For trading setups, the official catalysts are SEC Rule 19b-4 approvals or denials and S-1 effectiveness that govern whether and when any ETF can launch, source: U.S. SEC guidance on Exchange Act Rule 19b-4 and registration statements on SEC.gov. Traders should monitor the SEC’s EDGAR system and rulemaking dockets in October for any orders, extensions, or comment periods tied to SOL, XRP, and LTC ETF filings, source: U.S. SEC EDGAR database and rulemaking calendar.

According to the source, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission states in its Operations Plan Under a Lapse in Appropriations that during a government shutdown it will suspend most normal operations, including the review and approval of registrations, applications, and exchange rule filings (SEC.gov). The SEC plan further notes that while systems like EDGAR can continue to accept submissions, staff reviews and actions on pending matters are largely paused, implying decisions on crypto-related exchange-traded products will not be issued until funding is restored (SEC.gov). Historically, shutdowns delay federal agency actions on pending approvals, reinforcing the expectation of slippage in altcoin ETF timelines during a lapse in appropriations (Congressional Research Service, crsreports.congress.gov).
