According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on November 26, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart's latest report indicated that the approval decisions for altcoin ETFs such as SOL, XRP, LTC, and HBAR may be postponed until the end of 2025.
Unlike the approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, these altcoins lack support from the regulated futures market of the CME. Although WisdomTree and 21Shares have submitted applications for an XRP ETF, current regulations still do not allow for its listing.
Seyffart stated that the new SEC leadership in 2025 may be more friendly towards cryptocurrencies, and may allow ETF products to incorporate staking features.
