Are Memecoins the Next Big ETF Play?

Bloomberg’s top ETF analyst Eric Balchunas just dropped a spicy take:

A U.S.-listed Memecoin ETF could launch by 2026.

Yes, an entire ETF of dog coins, Pepe's, American Presidents and degen dreams!

Why?

👉 Active crypto ETFs are expected to kick off in late 2025

👉 Memecoins could be next, with DOGE possibly setting the precedent

👉 SEC under new leadership = more open to digital assets

Quote of the day:

"Really good chance this exists at some point." — @EricBalchunas 🐕‍🦺

But it won’t be simple, regulatory hurdles still exist. The SEC just punted decisions on XRP, ETH, and BTC ETFs to October 2025.

Still, vibes are bullish: If DOGE gets through, other memecoins could follow. Balchunas suggests the first Memecoin ETF may use creative structures to stay within current rules.

TL;DR:

Memecoins might soon have their own ETF. On Wall Street.

📅 Potential timeline:

▪️Late 2025: Active crypto ETFs arrive

▪️2026: First Memecoin ETF could hit the market

Imagine explaining this to TradFi 3 years ago. 😂
