The following are some of the ways to get in touch with each other “new wave” of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is expected in 2025 as the regulatory landscape improves under the incoming Trump administration, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts.
Bitcoin-Ethereum products (ETH) will probably lead, followed closely by Litecoins (LTC) or Hedera Hashgraphs (HBAR). Legal and regulatory obstacles are likely to hold up ETFs linked to Solana and XRP. Their future is uncertain.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, citing research from colleague James Seyffart, emphasized Litecoin’s favorable position due to its close ties to Bitcoin (BTC).
Litecoin, as a Bitcoin fork, could gain from the commodity classification it has, in line with how US Securities and Exchange Commission treats Bitcoin. HBAR is the only token that hasn’t been labeled a financial instrument. This puts it on par with other tokens under scrutiny.
Seyffart has written:
“Litecoin and HBAR both have higher odds of approval compared to Solana and XRP. However, it’s unclear whether there’s investor demand.”
Canary Capital is a relatively new company that has filed the first ETFs linked to Litecoin or HBAR. This raises questions regarding the market’s interest in the products.
Potential delays
Analysts also noted that Solana ETFs and XRP could face further delays.
The SEC’s rejection of recent Solana filings and the legal ambiguity surrounding both tokens have complicated their approval prospects. In addition, the ongoing legal battles over their classification as securities are a significant hurdle. According to analysts, these issues must be resolved in order for ETF applications to gain traction.
The future of crypto ETFs depends on how the new US administration will approach regulation. A greater clarity in token classifications may reshape ETFs and enable altcoins such as Solana, XRP and Ethereum to be included.
Analysts warn that while 2025 may mark the beginning of a new era for crypto-ETFs, beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum alone, legal uncertainty and the mediocre investor interest in alternative crypto products could continue to slow down momentum.
