According to a report by Laser Digital, 2025 is anticipated to be a significant year for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may approve more than twelve new digital asset ETFs this year, expanding the market for these investment vehicles. A combined bitcoin and ether ETF is expected to be one of the first to receive approval, alongside potential offerings related to litecoin, XRP, and Solana. This positive outlook follows the successful launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in January last year, notably Blackrock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, which gained $53 billion in assets in its first 11 months. The anticipated changes in the SEC’s leadership and the reduction of ongoing lawsuits in the crypto space are factors likely contributing to the increased chances of ETF approvals. Asset manager Grayscale is also looking to convert its Grayscale Solana Trust into an ETF. This growing ETF market is expected to attract more institutional investment as 2025 progresses.
