Bloomberg Intelligence analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas predict a high probability for the approval of a Litecoin ETF in 2025, assigning it a 90% chance to launch this year. They give 75% odds for a Bitcoin ETF, with slightly lower chances for Solana and XRP ETFs at 70% and 65%, respectively. The SEC has not classified Litecoin and Dogecoin as securities, which bodes well for their potential ETF submissions. Seyffart expects updated insights soon, noting the importance of the SEC’s current assessments. Despite optimism, industry experts remain cautious about potential market manipulation and custody risks associated with crypto ETFs, impacting overall approval odds. The SEC's deadline to rule on Litecoin ETF proposals is in early October. This uncertainty underlines the complexities surrounding cryptocurrency regulation, as ongoing litigation could further influence future decisions regarding asset classifications and ETF approvals.
