Canary Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) ETF faces another delay by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). PENGU ETF by Canary Capital is unique as it aims to provide investors with exposure to the Solana meme coin PENGU and Pudgy Penguin non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
US SEC Delays Decision on Canary PENGU ETF
According to a notice dated January 7, the US SEC designed a longer period to determine whether to approve or disapprove the Canary PENGU ETF.
“The commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change,” as per the SEC statement.
This marks the second extension of the review period for a proposed rule change. Also, the commission instituted proceedings in September to determine whether to approve or disapprove the Canary PENGU ETF.

If approved, the Canary PENGU ETF will list and trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange. It is important to note that the extension does not indicate the SEC’s stance on the proposal.
