Litecoin Expected to Join Wave of Crypto ETFs Amid Uncertain Demand, Analysts Suggest
Bloomberg’s ETF analysts predict a surge of new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2025, led by Bitcoin and Ether as foundational assets.
The anticipated approval of Litecoin and Hedera ETFs highlights a potential shift in regulatory sentiment towards crypto products.
“We expect a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs next year, albeit not all at once,” stated senior analyst Eric Balchunas, indicating a strategic rollout of new offerings.
Bloomberg analysts forecast the emergence of new crypto ETFs in 2025, led by Bitcoin and Ether, signaling a positive regulatory shift for Litecoin and Hedera.
Bloomberg Analysts Forecast New Wave of Crypto ETFs in 2025
According to recent insights from Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, the cryptocurrency landscape is poised for transformation with the introduction of new ETFs starting in 2025.
The analysts predict that these funds could fundamentally alter the access investors have to cryptocurrencies, primarily through a combination of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) tracking funds.
This development signifies a broader acceptance of cryptocurrency assets within traditional investment frameworks.
Focus on Litecoin and Hedera ETFs: Regulators Take a Favorable View
Balchunas notes that both Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) are likely candidates for ETF approval due to their regulatory standing.
Unlike Solana (SOL) and XRP, which have faced scrutiny and classification as securities by the SEC, Litecoin is seen as a viable option because of its status as a Bitcoin fork.
This classification may indeed position it as a commodity under regulatory interpretations.
Hedera benefits from its absence in SEC security classifications, which favorably positions it for potential ETF offerings.
