BlackRock’s statement basically means they’re sticking with the two biggest most established cryptos Bitcoin and Ethereum for now.
Even though the RippleSEC case just ended (which made people think XRP could soon get an ETF) and Solana has been gaining traction, BlackRock doesn’t want to jump in yet. The reasons likely include:
Regulatory uncertainty XRP and Solana still face more legal and compliance questions than BTC or ETH.
Liquidity & demand Bitcoin and Ethereum have the largest trading volumes and most institutional adoption, making them safer bets.
Strategic timing They may wait until the market is more mature before adding altcoin ETFs.
So, the takeaway: they’re playing it safe now, but they might revisit XRP or Solana ETFs in the future if the environment changes.
