SOL, XRP, and DOGE Spot ETFs Likely to Gain SEC Approval Soon
Crypto ETF issuers are poised to expand beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum funds, with analysts predicting a 75%+ chance the SEC will approve spot altcoin ETFs by late 2025.
Key Takeaways:
- Approval Timeline: Final decisions on basket-style ETFs (grouping multiple cryptos) expected by July 2, with single-asset ETFs (SOL, DOGE, XRP) likely in October.
- Top Contenders: Proposals include funds for Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), and Hedera (HBAR).
- Basket Funds Favored: Analysts estimate 90% approval odds for diversified ETFs vs. single-asset funds.
Why the Sudden Shift?
The regulatory outlook improved under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who criticized the "stifled" innovation in crypto markets. Political shifts under the Trump administration also signaled a friendlier stance.
Upcoming Deadlines:
| Date | ETF Type | Issuers Involved |
|------------|------------------------|---------------------------|
| July 2 | Basket-Style Funds | Grayscale, Bitwise, etc. |
| October | SOL/DOGE/XRP/ADA ETFs | Multiple |
| Nov–Dec | Remaining Altcoins | Varied |
