Overview
- JPMorgan analysts estimate Solana ETFs could draw $3 to $6 billion, while XRP ETFs may attract $4 to $8 billion in assets if approved by the SEC.
- These projected inflows would fall short of the success seen by Bitcoin ETFs, which amassed $50 billion in their first year, and Ethereum ETFs, which reached $12 billion in six months.
- The SEC is expected to make preliminary decisions on Solana and XRP ETF applications by the end of January, with several asset managers, including Grayscale and VanEck, in the running.
- Bitcoin ETFs currently hold $108 billion in assets, equivalent to 6% of Bitcoin's market cap, while Ethereum ETFs represent 3% of Ethereum's market cap.
- The regulatory environment, including a pro-crypto administration, is seen as a key factor in shaping the future of crypto ETFs and broader cryptocurrency adoption.
