Leading analysts from Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, project a remarkable 95% probability that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Solana, Litecoin, and XRP by 2025.
This could signify a crucial turning point for altcoins, paving the way for both institutional and retail investors to gain regulated exposure to investments beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
On June 30, 2025, Seyffart tweeted about their expectations of a surge in new ETF approvals in the latter half of 2025.
The first U.S. STAKING ETF for Solana launches on June 2, 2025. Notably, there are still over 70 crypto ETF applications that are pending a decision.
“Trying to figure out what could go into an SEC framework aside from CFTC approved futures, we looked at a few potential data points. For detailed information, Bloomberg Terminal clients can view the complete note and our midyear outlook here.”
