According to the analysis of ETF experts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, the likelihood of the SEC approving a Litecoin or Hedera ETF sooner than a Solana or XRP ETF is very high.

Two analysts also noted that a combined BTC-ETH ETF may be approved sooner than other funds.

Predictions about the Litecoin ETF

Balchunas made this prediction in a social media post, citing an exclusive article from James Seyffart. Both recently accurately predicted that MicroStrategy would join NASDAQ 100. While analysts generally expect the Solana ETF to be approved quickly, Balchunas takes the opposite view:

We anticipate a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs next year, although not all will be approved at the same time. The first may be an ETF combining BTC and ETH, followed by Litecoin (as it is a fork of BTC and can be considered a commodity), then Hedera (as it is not viewed as a security), and finally XRP or Solana (as they are facing lawsuits regarding being classified as securities).

Seyffart also notes that the Solana ETF was directly rejected by the SEC in December, and therefore, the SEC will not consider new applicants until the next administration takes office. After the elected President Trump takes office, the SEC may take a more favorable view, but there is no guarantee they will review previously rejected applications.

Instead, analysts point out that Hashdex's BTC-ETH combined ETF, although delayed, has not been completely rejected and still has a chance of being approved. Both BTC and ETH already have their own ETFs, making a joint product feasible.

However, they assert that the Litecoin ETF is likely to be the next approved, thanks to the strong performance of this coin throughout the bull market.

Analysts believe that Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin, which could qualify it for ETF approval under similar principles. Unlike most cryptocurrencies, the SEC views BTC as a commodity, and similar reasoning could apply to Litecoin.

Following this news, Litecoin rose nearly 6% on the day. Analysts also predict that the Hedera ETF may be approved, as Canary Capital is the only entity that has applied for both the Litecoin ETF and the Hedera ETF.

The approval of ETFs does not entirely depend on market appeal. Canary Capital is currently the only entity actively seeking a Litecoin ETF, and while there may not be enough demand from investors, Litecoin still maintains stability and growth potential. If the SEC approves a Litecoin ETF, this currency could attract more interest from the investment community.

The overall outlook for cryptocurrency ETFs will depend on the management leadership direction of the U.S. government in the future. Greater clarity on token classification could create a turning point in the ETF landscape and open opportunities for altcoins like Solana and XRP to participate in Bitcoin and Ethereum products.

Although 2025 could be a turning point for cryptocurrency ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, analysts warn that legal uncertainty and weak demand from investors for alternative crypto products could continue to limit growth in the near future.
