ETF Expert Nate Geraci predicts that more cryptocurrency ETFs will enter the market in 2025. He also predicts that it will increase crypto investment.

Cryptocurrency ETF predictions from ETF expert
Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, shared his top five predictions for the crypto ETF market in 2025. Geraci says these developments are likely to happen, starting with the launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs together. Geraci also predicts that spot ETH ETF options trading will begin. It also provides for the in-kind creation and redemption of both BTC and ETH ETFs, the launch of a staking-enabled spot ETH ETF, and the approval of a spot Solana ETF.
SEC’s Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approval and beyond
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024. Thus, it marked an important milestone for the cryptocurrency market. This approval, given to firms such as Hashdex and Franklin Templeton, facilitated institutional investors’ access to Bitcoin and Ethereum through spot-based ETFs. The decision came after a series of delays. However, the SEC’s approval signaled a shift towards greater institutional acceptance of digital assets.
Experts expect the joint launch of Spot BTC and ETH ETFs to add to this momentum. Geraci predicts the launch of spot ETH ETF options trading, which will give investors more flexibility in managing their Ethereum holdings.
Spot Solana ETF and other predictions
Geraci also anticipates the approval of a spot Solana ETF. This will give institutional investors access to the fast-growing Solana Blockchain. Thus, providing another option for portfolio diversification. In addition to these predictions, Geraci expects the following:
- In-kind creation and redemption of both BTC and ETH ETFs.
- Launch of a staking-enabled spot ETH ETF.
Changing SEC landscape and cryptocurrency ETF acceptance
These developments coincide with a potential shift in regulatory attitudes at the SEC. Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw recently stepped down from her position. This signals a possible relaxation of the SEC’s historically strict stance on crypto regulation. With SEC Chairman Gary Gensler also expected to leave in January and Paul Atkins taking over, the agency may adopt a more positive approach towards crypto ETFs. This change in leadership could significantly alter the regulatory landscape. It is also likely to lead to greater acceptance of digital asset-based financial products.
