No new Crypto ETF before next March?

ETFs will have to wait

Crypto ETFs should multiply again in 2025 but a priori, this is not what the American SEC has decided!

The regulator decided not to comment on the approval of new exchange-traded funds in January. With this in mind, he postponed his decision on the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF until March 3. Highly awaited by the public, it is designed to monitor the performance of the main cryptocurrencies on the market, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and even XRP.

Meanwhile, some netizens are wondering: does this mean no Crypto ETF approvals will happen before spring? The answer is certainly no, especially since the product concerned depends on a separate category! Officially, the SEC wants to give itself time for a more complete review, but in reality, it seems to simply pass the buck to the next administration.

Indeed, the president of the SEC and his team will change with the inauguration of Donald Trump. Given the crypto policy that will be adopted, it is possible that approvals will rain quickly after the event. In this perspective, the XRP ETF, Solana, or even the Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF from Bitwise could be the first to be launched.

A mixed enthusiasm

Nothing is lost for future exchange-traded funds and, on the contrary, a real hour of glory awaits them. But for that, we will first have to win back the public! Indeed, while the SEC avoids committing to a few days before its shake-up, not everyone is rejoicing in the same way.

As XRP sees its price rise as possible approval approaches, investors are deserting already established ETFs. This is why the main ones, on the side of Bitcoin and Ethereum, have been experiencing an outflow of capital for four consecutive days.

The moral of the story: the rumor about ETFs is the smoke of the noise but it is difficult to ignite the powder.
