BREAKING: Solana, Litecoin, XRP ETFs Now 95% Likely—Wall Street’s Crypto Grab Goes Mainstream in 2025

Bloomberg’s analysts just dropped a bombshell: the crypto ETF floodgates are about to burst wide open. Forget Bitcoin’s dominance—Solana, Litecoin, and XRP are now front-runners for regulatory approval. Here’s why 2025 could rewrite the rules of institutional crypto investing.

The 95% Probability Play

When Bloomberg’s ETF whisperers speak, markets listen. Their near-certainty forecast isn’t just analyst speculation—it’s a calculated bet on Wall Street’s desperation for ‘the next Bitcoin ETF’ narrative. The kicker? These altcoins might actually deserve their moment.

Why These Three Tokens?

Solana’s speed, Litecoin’s longevity, and XRP’s legal clarity created the perfect storm. Regulators love boxes they can check—and these assets finally tick enough of them to satisfy the suits. Never mind that half the SEC still thinks ‘DeFi’ is a breakfast cereal.

The Institutional Endgame

Pension funds won’t touch your cold wallet, but they’ll pour billions into a shiny SEC-approved wrapper. That’s the real play here—converting crypto-skeptics into bagholders through the magic of financialization. The irony? Most ETF buyers won’t know—or care—what blockchain these tokens even run on.

Bottom line: The crypto old guard just got a golden ticket. Whether that’s good for decentralization? Well… welcome to TradFi’s world now.

“SEC is preparing for a wave of new crypto ETFs,” said the Bloomberg Analysts

Balchunas and Seyffart’s Optimism is rooted in shifting regulatory attitudes and increasing market maturity. Their 1 June 2025 analysis, shared on X, suggests that the SEC is preparing for a “wave of new crypto ETFs” in the second half of 2025.

On 1 July 2025, Balchunas took to X  to say, “Tuttle (Capital Management) has filed an amendment to change the effective date of a bunch of 2x crypto/meme ETFs to July 16th. Doesn’t mean they will launch but typically effective dates are when ETFs launch and with $SSK making it to mkt likely see others push. We’ll see tho..”

Furthermore, bringing attention to a related Polymarket controversy, he said, “The Rex Solana ETF $SSK (launching tmrw) has caused controversy for Polymarket.. ppl in comments are pissed bc it isn’t a traditional ’33 Act ‘spot’ ETF and wasn’t “approved” per se but rather there was no objection = ok to launch. Polymarket had to weigh in and say it counts.”
