- Altcoin ETFs gain traction as SEC signals likely approval by end of 2025
- Bloomberg analysts assign 90% odds for DOGE, ADA, DOT, HBAR, and AVAX ETFs
- REX Osprey Solana ETF clears hurdles, sets precedent with staking integration
The race to launch altcoin-based spot ETFs in the United States is heating up as regulatory clarity improves. According to Bloomberg analysts, five prominent altcoins Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Hedera (HBAR), and Avalanche (AVAX) are strongly positioned for regulatory approval by year-end 2025.
What Do the New ETF Odds Show?
Bloomberg ETF specialists Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have sharply increased the odds of spot ETF approval for several major altcoins. They now estimate a 90% chance that the SEC will greenlight ETFs tracking Dogecoin, Cardano, Polkadot, Hedera, and Avalanche. These assets, often considered second-tier compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, may soon gain institutional exposure through regulated investment products.
The analysts assigned even higher odds of 95% to ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin, and suggested a broader crypto index ETF could secure SEC approval even sooner.

Besides these five, the analysts assigned a 95% probability to spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin. They also suggested that a broader crypto index ETF could secure SEC approval even sooner, possibly within weeks. Consequently, a wave of diversified crypto funds could hit US markets before the fourth quarter of 2025.
ETF Momentum Builds Despite Ethereum Staking Delay
While altcoin ETF prospects brighten, Ethereum staking remains in regulatory limbo. The SEC recently postponed decisions on whether to permit staking within Ether-based funds.
Likewise, the fate of Osprey’s Bitcoin Trust listing has been delayed. However, a key milestone was achieved as the REX Osprey Solana Staking ETF cleared regulatory hurdles and is set to launch this week.

This will be the first US-listed fund incorporating crypto staking, with at least 40% of assets tied to other ETFs, mainly abroad. This model was designed to address SEC concerns around investment company classifications.
