Wall Street analysts indicate that the likelihood of the SEC approving spot ETFs based on major altcoins like Dogecoin, XRP, and Solana by the end of 2025 is quite high. This expectation signals a significant transformation in the crypto investment universe. Because such a development would enable investors to access digital assets outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum through regulated channels.
ETF Expansion Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum
Bloomberg's experienced analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart state that the SEC has recently adopted a more open and constructive approach to ETF application processes. The active communication the SEC has with applicants and the technical feedback it provides on processes are seen as signs of a softening regulatory environment.
While the likelihood of spot ETF approval for major altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Litecoin is assessed at 95%, there is also a high approval expectation of up to 90% for other popular projects such as Cardano, Dogecoin, Polkadot, Hedera, and Avalanche.
A New Era in Crypto ETFs
Until now, ETF products focused only on Bitcoin and Ethereum are diversifying with the SEC's new move. This development allows institutional investors to diversify their portfolios with a broader range of digital assets, while also providing individual investors with more regulated, secure, and transparent investment alternatives.
Spot ETFs provide investors with the opportunity to directly hold shares backed by altcoins, facilitating the visibility and accessibility of these assets in traditional financial markets.
Increased Institutional Interest and Demand is Notable
The large investment volumes that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have quickly achieved have triggered interest in altcoin-based ETFs. For example, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) reached an asset size of $70 billion in just a few months, attracting significant interest. Similarly, financial giants like Grayscale, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton have shown strong institutional support for this process by applying for altcoin ETFs.
The Role of Futures Markets and Regulatory Compliance
In the SEC's approach to the spot ETF approval process, the CFTC's (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) approval of futures products also emerges as an important factor. Trading altcoins with futures increases the regulatory acceptance of these assets and paves the way for spot ETF applications. Futures ETFs are considered less risky from the SEC's perspective as they reflect the market without holding the underlying asset directly, thus strengthening the regulatory foundation.
Possible Effects on Price Movements and Investor Behaviors
The approval of altcoin ETFs may initially have limited impact on low-volume projects. However, especially in high-potential projects like Solana, ETF launches could trigger significant price increases. Upexi Strategy Manager Brian Rudick cites the rise of Bitcoin following the approval of its spot ETF as an example, indicating that a similar effect could be seen in altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
Such ETFs contribute to creating a more stable investment environment due to increased liquidity and depth in the market while providing direct access to both individual and institutional investors.
