- Geraci predicts spot BTC, ETH, and SOL ETFs will launch in 2025, boosting crypto investment.
- SEC’s leadership change may lead to a more crypto-friendly approach for ETFs.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024 signal growing institutional acceptance of digital assets.
Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, has shared his top five predictions for the crypto ETF market in 2025. He believes these developments are likely to occur, starting with the combined launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Geraci also predicts the introduction of spot ETH ETF options trading, the in-kind creation and redemption of both BTC and ETH ETFs, the launch of a staking-enabled spot ETH ETF, and the approval of a spot Solana ETF.
SEC’s Approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024, marking a significant milestone for the crypto market. This approval, granted to firms like Hashdex and Franklin Templeton, made it easier for institutional investors to access Bitcoin and Ethereum through spot-based ETFs.
Although the decision came after a series of delays, the SEC’s approval signaled a shift towards greater institutional acceptance of digital assets. The combined launch of spot BTC and ETH ETFs is expected to build on this momentum.
Geraci anticipates the introduction of spot ETH ETF options trading, which will give investors more flexibility in managing their Ethereum holdings.
Spot Solana ETF and Other Predictions
Geraci also foresees the approval of a spot Solana ETF. This would provide institutional investors with another option for portfolio diversification by allowing them to access the rapidly growing Solana blockchain.
In addition to these predictions, Geraci expects:
- In-kind creation and redemption of both BTC and ETH ETFs
- The launch of a staking-enabled spot ETH ETF
Shifting SEC Landscape and Crypto ETF Acceptance
These developments coincide with a potential shift in regulatory attitudes at the SEC. Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw’s recent departure suggests a possible easing of the SEC’s historically strict stance on crypto regulation.

With SEC Chair Gary Gensler also expected to depart in January and Paul Atkins likely to take over, the agency may adopt a more favorable approach to crypto ETFs.
This change in leadership could significantly alter the regulatory landscape, leading to greater acceptance of digital asset-based financial products.
