US regulators are likely to approve a wave of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with a 90% or higher chance. The SEC views cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin as commodities. Approval timing and spot product launches remain uncertain and could take several months. Analysts believe the process may extend beyond October.

Asset managers aim to replicate the success of Bitcoin ETFs with altcoin funds. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust became the most successful product, surpassing $70 billion in assets in just 341 days. However, demand for Ether ETFs has been lukewarm since launching last July. Altcoins are unlikely to erode Bitcoin’s dominance in the ETF market soon.
