Over 100 crypto exchange-traded products are expected to launch in 2026, but many may close due to lack of demand, according to analyst James Seyffart. Currently, over 126 ETP applications are awaiting SEC approval, with an anticipated wave of approvals under the SEC’s new generic listing standards.

Last year, 622 ETFs shut down, with 244 closures in the US having an average age of 5.4 years. Most closures were due to insufficient inflows and low assets under management. Notable crypto ETPs recently liquidated include ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Ethereum Strategy ETF and ARK 21Shares Active On‑Chain Bitcoin Strategy ETF.

ETFs tracking Litecoin, Solana, and XRP have seen success this year, expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US have gathered $57.6 billion since January 2024, while Ether ETFs have amassed $12.6 billion since July 2024. Solana ETFs from various providers have seen $725 million in inflows since late October.
