XRP & Solana ETFs: Is 2025 the Year SEC Gives the Green Light?
ETF Store President Nate Geraci is making big waves with his predictions about the crypto ETF space.
One of his forecasts is that XRP and Solana ETFs will be approved in 2025 and that will change everything.
His optimism comes from big changes in US regulatory leadership and the political climate. Paul Atkins being nominated as SEC Chair by President-elect Trump will soften the agency’s stance on crypto and open up new doors.
XRP and Solana ETFs: Market Prospects
Geraci’s predictions are backed up by ETF applications. In June 2024 VanEck filed the first Solana ETF, then Grayscale, Canary Capital and 21Shares followed. Canary Capital’s October 2023 XRP ETF application was a big moment and it’s sparked more interest in crypto ETFs.
Although the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved anything yet, the industry is optimistic. People think the regulatory shift with Paul Atkins will bring big progress especially for XRP and Solana ETFs.
This will not only cement these assets in the market but also bring more adoption of crypto focused investment products.
Crypto ETF Predictions: Key Insights from Nate Geraci
Beyond XRP and Solana, Geraci outlined ten predictions for the crypto ETF landscape in 2025:
Bitcoin ETFs to surpass gold ETFs in assets under management (AUM). Bitcoin ETFs have already reached $150 billion AUM—a milestone gold ETFs achieved in two decades.
Ethereum staking ETFs to gain approval from the SEC, unlocking new investment avenues.
Grayscale and Bitwise filings to advance, with expected regulatory green lights.
Vanguard to join the crypto ETF space, reversing its previous hesitations.
These predictions highlight the rapid evolution of the crypto investment landscape and underscore the growing role of ETFs in mainstream finance.
Trump Administration’s Impact on Crypto Regulation
President-elect Donald Trump’s administration will set a new direction for crypto regulation. David Sacks being appointed as the first Crypto and AI Czar means they will be proactive in promoting innovation. Sacks’ agenda includes hosting a crypto ball to bring industry leaders together and to facilitate collaboration.
With this new leadership the SEC’s crypto policy will change and market will feel more comfortable. XRP and Solana ETFs approval will bring big price moves for these assets and cement their place in the financial system.
2025 will be a big year for cryptocurrency, with regulation and product innovation.
