More than 70 cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are
slated for review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) this year. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the
list includes proposed ETFs holding a range of assets, from
altcoins to memecoins to derivatives instruments.
“Everything from XRP, Litecoin and Solana to Penguins, Doge and
2x Melania and everything in between,” Balchunas
said
in an April 21 post on the X platform. “Gonna be a wild year.”

Uncertain institutional demand
The planned funds listings come as institutional investors turn
increasingly bullish on crypto as an asset class.
Upward of 80% of institutions say they plan to
increase allocations to crypto in 2025, according to a March
report by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon.
However, analysts caution that just because ETFs are approved
for US listings doesn’t guarantee widespread adoption, especially
for funds holding more obscure alternative cryptocurrencies.
“Having your coin get ETF-ized is like being in a band and
getting your songs added to all the music streaming services,”
Balchunas said.
“Doesn’t guarantee listens but it puts your music where the vast
majority of the listeners are.”

Sygnum Bank’s research head, Katalin Tischhauser, told
Cointelegraph she expects altcoin ETFs to see cumulative inflows of
several hundred million to $1 billion,
far less than spot Bitcoin funds.
Funds holding Bitcoin (BTC) — the first spot
cryptocurrency approved for listing in a US ETF wrapper — attracted
upward
of $100 billion in net assets last year.
However, ETFs using options and other derivatives to provide
structured exposure to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether
might see more institutional uptake, analysts said.
Options on spot cryptocurrencies unlock numerous potential
portfolio strategies for investors and could
potentially
catalyze “explosive” price upside for digital assets such as
Bitcoin, Jeff Park, Bitwise Invest’s head of alpha strategies, said
in September.
Options are contracts granting the right to buy or sell an
underlying asset at a certain price.
On April 21, ARK Invest
added exposure to staked Solana (SOL) to two of
its existing ETFs. The asset manager said it marks the first time
spot SOL has been available to US investors in an ETF.
