Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas & James Seyffart released the latest odds on approval for altcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) by 2025. The lowest chance was given to XRP.

According to latest estimates, Litecoin leads the pack with a 90 percent probability of acceptance, followed by Dogecoin at 75 percent and Solana (SOL) at 70% — XRP trails The others have a chance of approval at 65%.

Balchunas highlighted:

“Keep in mind all of this stuff (except Litecoin which was always high) was <5% prior to election. So these are really good odds relatively speaking, and will likely grow the more we see these go through the typical process.”
