The ETF Store President, Nate Geraci , predicts 2025 will be a transformative year for crypto ETFs, with at least 50 new crypto-related ETFs launching. These include covered call ETFs, Bitcoin-denominated equity ETFs, and Bitcoin bond ETFs. Geraci also expects Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs to surpass gold ETFs in asset size, signaling the growing prominence of digital assets in mainstream investments. Paving The Way Forward While Geraci anticipates approval for spot ETFs tied to SOL and XRP, regulatory challenges may delay their debut. Analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart believe Litecoin and Hedera have a better chance of SEC approval, as they are not classified as securities like Solana and XRP. Concurrently, Ethereum (ETH) will have a much bigger role going forward, with Geraci predicting approval for spot Ether ETF options trading in 2025, providing new ways for investors to hedge or speculate. Additionally, both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are expected to adopt in-kind redemption processes to improve liquidity and efficiency. The ETF Race Is On The market will also see crypto index ETFs by Bitwise and Grayscale, broadening access to crypto-related investments. Geraci highlights the potential of the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF , which he believes could quickly reach over $1 billion in assets. Meanwhile, Vanguard, traditionally focused on equities and bonds, is also expected to enter the crypto ETF market, reflecting a wider trend of traditional firms embracing digital assets.
