WHAT ETF IS NEXT? 🏦
BREAKING: 'High odds' XRP, Solana, Dogecoin & Litecoin ETFs approved
The Bitcoin ETFs have been live for just over 1 year now.
And the Ethereum ETFs have been trading for just over 6 months.
So which crypto is next?
Today, Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart shared their latest predictions on the most likely contenders for the next ETF approval.
Litecoin
This one might come as a surprise, but the Bloomberg analysts gave Litecoin ETFs the highest odds of approval at 90%.
So far, Grayscale and Canary Capital are the only issuers with an active Litecoin ETF filing.
Key Date: The SEC’s decision deadline for the Litecoin ETF is October 2, 2025—making it the first of the four up for review.
Dogecoin
Yes, Dogecoin. 🐕
The analysts gave DOGE ETFs a 75% chance of approval, a move that would be a game changer for memecoins.
If approved, Dogecoin would officially enter the institutional big leagues.
So far, Grayscale and Bitwise have filed for a Dogecoin ETF.
Solana
Solana ranks just behind Dogecoin with a 70% chance of approval.
However, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana has not been officially declared a commodity by the SEC—which could complicate the process.
Despite this, Solana has strong ETF interest, with Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, Canary, and Bitwise all filing applications.
XRP
XRP rounds out the list with the lowest approval odds at 65%.
According to James Seyffart, the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit is the biggest barrier:
“It's our view. That until that WHOLE mess of litigation between Ripple/XRP and the SEC is settled and/or finished or has some sort of expected outcome etc etc -- you likely won't see an ETF. The SEC needs to untangle that mess.”
However…
The predictions received some backlash, with many believing the analysts were too pessimistic—especially since Polymarket gives Solana an 84% chance of ETF approval this year.
Eric Balchunas responded:
“Keep in mind all of this stuff (except Litecoin which was always high) was <5% prior to election. So these are really good odds relatively speaking, and will likely grow the more we see these go through the typical process.”
James Seyffart later added that the odds of these ETFs would be extremely low if the Democrats were still in office.
If these approvals happen, it would mark another major step in the institutional adoption of crypto. 🚀

FEAR & GREED…🫣
Crypto sentiment right now is… brutal.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is at 37 - near rock bottom.
Yet, Bitcoin is hovering just under $100K.
When sentiment flips? Buckle up.
That’s the latest from Dan Tapiero.
If you don’t know Dan Tapiero, he’s:
CEO & CIO at 1RoundTable Partners and 10T Holdings - a growth equity fund focused on digital assets
Manages over $1.2 billion
Has 30+ years of experience in macro & commodity investing
Today, Dan called out the absurdity - crypto sentiment is in the gutter, yet Bitcoin is inches from $100K:
The upside?
When sentiment flips, Bitcoin is going much higher.
And the rest of the market will follow.
Dan’s experience echoes that of Bitwise CIO, Matt Hougan:
Right now, retail investors are filled with fear & doubt.
Meanwhile the ‘smart money’ has never been more bullish.
Which side are you on? 🤨
THE STREAK HOLDS ON 🔥
The streaks continues. 🔥
For the fifth week in a row, Digital asset funds saw net inflows totalling $1.26 billion.
This pushes Year-to-date inflows to a solid $7.35 billion.
Let’s break it down.
Ethereum dominated this week’s inflows, pulling in a massive $793 million—the highest among all assets.
Bitcoin followed with inflows of $407 million.
Whilst XRP and Solana experienced inflows of $21.1m and $11.2m respectively.
The United States saw net inflows of $1.07 billion for the week.
Germany, Switzerland and Canada also experienced net inflows of $60.7m, $53.8m & $37.4m respectively.
Unfortunately Hong Kong saw net outflows of $7.9 million.
Based off of last weeks rough price performance, many were expecting institutional investors to dump. (We’ve seen this happen in the past)
But that clearly wasn’t the case…
In fact, they did the complete opposite of what many expected…
They bought the dip.
We touched on this in the previous section, but we’ll say it again:
Follow the smart money. 🧠
