The forecast points to Bitcoin<\/a> <\/strong>and Ethereum<\/a> <\/strong>combination ETFs leading the way, followed by products tied to Litecoin and Hedera Hashgraph. However, the launch of ETFs linked to Solana<\/a> <\/strong>and XRP<\/a> <\/strong>remains uncertain due to ongoing legal challenges.<\/p>\n Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, noted that Litecoin, a Bitcoin derivative, is well-positioned for approval due to its similarity to Bitcoin and its status as a commodity. Hedera Hashgraph<\/a><\/strong>, which has avoided being classified as a security, is also seen as a strong candidate for approval. Both tokens have a higher chance of securing ETF launches compared to Solana and XRP, which face regulatory obstacles.<\/p>\n Despite this optimistic outlook, there are concerns about investor demand for these products, especially since Canary Capital is currently the only firm to file for ETFs tied to Litecoin<\/a> <\/strong>and Hedera Hashgraph. Furthermore, Solana and XRP’s ongoing legal battles over their classification as securities complicate the approval process for ETFs based on these tokens.<\/p>\n
