Blockstream founder Adam Back predicts that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will dominate in 2025. Last year, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF attracted $37 billion in inflows and finished third on the 2024 ETF leaderboard. Nate Geraci, a leading ETF analyst, believes ETFs will continue to dominate headlines in 2025. The SEC's approval of multiple Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last year has given a major boost to the cryptocurrency industry, with more than 700 ETF products launched. Analysts expect ETF issuers to aggressively push for more cryptocurrency ETFs, with Solana and XRP ETF applications already filed. Eric Balchunas suggests that Litecoin might outpace other cryptocurrencies in the ETF race due to minimal regulatory constraints. Geraci's 2025 ETF predictions include the launch of spot Ether ETF options trading and spot Ether staking, as well as the approval of a spot Solana ETF. A crypto-friendly SEC boss is expected to replace Gary Gensler, but it remains uncertain if the new leadership will fully support the cryptocurrency industry.
