The SEC is collaborating with U.S. exchanges to develop a generic listing framework for token-based ETFs, potentially eliminating the need for individual rule-change filings. Under this initiative, ETF sponsors could bypass the traditional Form 19b-4 process if the underlying token meets predefined criteria, such as market cap and liquidity. Instead, they would file a Form S-1 and observe a 75-day review period. Analysts, including Bloomberg’s James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, view this as a positive step toward regulatory clarity, predicting high approval odds for top cryptocurrencies. The framework could also pave the way for multi-asset ETFs and staking-based structures, with Grayscale’s crypto basket fund already receiving SEC approval. Analysts further anticipate Solana, Litecoin, and XRP ETFs by 2025, citing institutional demand and a pro-crypto administration.

The crypto ETF landscape is expanding rapidly, with the introduction of the first staked Solana ETP in the U.S. and heightened optimism for spot altcoin ETFs. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have raised their approval odds to 95% for Solana, Litecoin, and XRP ETFs, signaling a potential wave of new crypto investment products by late 2025. This development reflects growing institutional interest and regulatory progress in the digital asset space.

The U.S. has seen significant success with Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, prompting asset managers to propose ETFs for smaller altcoins like Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP. Bloomberg analysts predict a high likelihood of approval for some of these funds this year. However, analysts are split on their potential uptake, with some citing the complexity and lack of mainstream familiarity with altcoins as barriers. Bitcoin ETFs have been the most successful debut in ETF history, managing over $130 billion, while Ethereum ETFs hold $10 billion. The SEC is reviewing over 30 altcoin ETF applications, driven by growing demand for crypto investment products. While some experts believe institutional investors may diversify into altcoin ETFs, others argue that retail investors may find them too niche or confusing.

According to Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, Litecoin (LTC), XRP, and Solana (SOL) have a 95% chance of securing ETF approvals in 2025. Other altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Polkadot (DOT) follow closely with 90% odds, while a SUI ETF application has a 60% chance. Ethereum staking ETFs are also highly probable. The SEC previously approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, signaling growing institutional adoption.

Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas predict a near-certain (95%) approval of spot ETFs for altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin by the SEC by late 2025. Other tokens such as Cardano, Polkadot, and Avalanche also have high approval odds (90%). This follows the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which now manage over $100 billion in assets. Approval would allow traditional investors direct exposure to these historically volatile assets. The SEC’s engagement and recent CFTC futures approvals for these altcoins further bolster confidence. While timing remains uncertain, analysts agree it’s a matter of ‘when, not if.’ Solana-focused strategist Brian Rudick highlights potential price surges for top assets like Solana post-approval, mirroring Bitcoin’s post-ETF rally.
