Here’s the latest status and insights on SEC approvals and the market landscape for key crypto ETFs, covering your requested tokens. Data is accurate as of July 8, 2025 (UTC+0 time zone).
High-Probability Approvals (95%):
- SOL, XRP, LTC:
Bloomberg ETF analysts have raised the odds of SEC approval for US spot ETFs for Solana ($SOL), XRP ($XRP), and Litecoin ($LTC) to 95% within this year. Final SEC deadlines for single-asset ETFs tracking SOL, XRP, and LTC arrive in October 2025.- The first US Solana staking ETF launches this Wednesday, having cleared regulatory hurdles with specific asset allocation requirements.
- The approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap ETF (includes several of these tokens) is expected in early July and may pave the way for additional spot ETF products for assets like XRP and SOL12.
- XRP and LTC spot ETF approvals in 2025 would mark a turning point, signaling increased regulatory support and institutional access3.
High Odds Group (90%):
- DOGE, ADA (Cardano), DOT, AVAX, HBAR:
Dogecoin ($DOGE), Cardano ($ADA), Polkadot ($DOT), Avalanche ($AVAX), and Hedera ($HBAR) have a 90% chance for spot ETF approval by the end of 2025. SEC decisions are expected later this year, probably by Q412.
Moderate/Low Certainty:
- SUI (Sui) – 60%
- TRX (Tron), PENGU – 50%
These tokens face more uncertainty, mostly due to ongoing questions around commodity status and the absence of CFTC-regulated futures12.
Crypto Index ETFs:
- A basket/index ETF, converting products from Grayscale, Bitwise, Hashdex, and Franklin into spot ETFs, has a 95% approval probability, with a decision as soon as this week. This would allow broader institutional access to multiple altcoins, accelerating ETF market maturity12.
$BTC and $ETH:
- Bitcoin ($BTC) spot ETFs have already seen massive inflows and helped pave the way for altcoins.
- Ethereum staking ETFs remain delayed, with SEC decision-making still pending and deadlines extended1.
- Over 70 crypto ETFs await approval, mainly for Ethereum derivatives and altcoin exposure.
Other tokens ($BNB, $NEAR, $SEI, $TRUMP, $BONK, $APT, $AXL, $LINK):
- No explicit ETF approval timelines or probabilities have been noted for these tokens in the latest analyst reports. They are not listed among the highest-priority filings, and their paths to ETF approval may require further regulatory clarity or product development.
Market Impact:
- ETF approval momentum signals significant shifts toward institutional acceptance, boosting legitimacy, trading volume, and potential volatility for included tokens.
- Digital asset funds attracted $2.7 billion in inflows last week (largely into BTC and ETH), but expanding ETF access to a broader range of altcoins—especially with upcoming approvals—could spur a major altcoin rally and an overall market uplift41.
- The introduction of staking ETFs (such as Solana's and Bitwise’s NEAR Staking ETP) also introduces new yield opportunities and product innovation, potentially drawing new participants into these ecosystems.
Timelines (Key Dates):
- Early July 2025: Grayscale Digital Large Cap ETF decision expected.
- This week: Potential approval for a crypto index ETF.
- October 2025: Final decisions for SOL, XRP, LTC single-asset ETFs.
- Late 2025/early 2026: Additional deadlines for DOGE, ADA, DOT, AVAX, HBAR, and others.
