Solana ETFs may take until 2026: Bloomberg Intelligence

January 16, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Altcoins

With lawsuits still pending over Solana’s classification as a security, SOL ETFs will likely have to wait until next year for their debut.

Solana (SOL) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may not launch in the United States until 2026 even under a crypto-friendly White House, James Seyffart, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, said on Jan. 16.

Issuers “might see movement” on languishing Solana ETF filings after President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20, Seyffart said during an interview with Blockworks.

However, “the timeline could extend into 2026 due to the SEC’s precedent of taking […] 240–260 days to review filings,” Seyffart said.

SEC postpones listing decision for Bitwise crypto index ETF

January 15, 2025 Coin Telegraph

bitcoin etf

The ETF aims to give investors exposure to a diverse basket of cryptocurrencies such as SOL, XRP and ADA, among others.

US regulators said they need more time to decide whether an exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed as a one-stop-shop crypto portfolio can be listed on the New York Stock Exchange’s electronic securities exchange, according to a Jan. 14 regulatory filing.

The filing was a response to NYSE’s December request for permission to list the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund on NYSE Arca.

If approved, Bitwise’s proposed ETF would be the first diversified spot crypto ETF to hit the US markets. It would also be the first US ETF to hold alternative cryptocurrencies, or “altcoins.”

US election another ‘buy the rumor, buy the news’ event for BTC: Pantera

January 13, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

The Wall Street adage of “buy the rumor, sell the news” didn’t apply to the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs last year, and it won’t apply to President Trump’s inauguration next week.

2025 is shaping up to be another banner year for Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market, with the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump set to drive markets even higher, according to Pantera Capital’s latest blockchain letter.

Pantera’s “The Year Ahead in Crypto” sought to dispel fears that the United States presidential election was a “buy the rumor, sell the news” event for Bitcoin.

In traditional markets, this adage refers to a common investment strategy of buying an asset when there are positive rumors and selling it when the news is later confirmed. The idea is that the asset’s price will rise in anticipation of the news and then decline once it’s confirmed.

US Bitcoin reserve would have ‘profound’ impact on adoption: CoinShares

January 10, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

The Bitcoin Act’s passage could eventually send BTC’s price past $1 million per coin, industry executives say.

Establishing a strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserve in the United States would accelerate Bitcoin’s adoption even more than 2024’s exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches, cryptocurrency researcher CoinShares said in a Jan. 10 blog post.

In 2024, US lawmakers proposed the Bitcoin Act, which would direct the US Treasury Department to create a “strategic Bitcoin reserve” by purchasing 1 million BTC over a 5-year period. President-elect Donald Trump endorsed the plan, which has not yet been passed into law.

“We believe that the enactment of the Bitcoin Act in the United States would have a more profound long-term impact on Bitcoin than the launch of ETFs,” CoinShares said.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs broke records in 2024 — Can they do it again in 2025?

January 10, 2025 Coin Telegraph

bitcoin etf

Jan.10 marks the 1-year anniversary of the spot Bitcoin ETF launches. After a beltbusting year that saw $129 billion in inflows, can the EFTs do it again?

The approval and launch of the spot Bitcoin ETFs were among the most anticipated financial products of recent years. As 2024 closed, the $129 billion in total net assets held by the ETFs suggests that 2025 will be even more groundbreaking.

Exchange-traded funds are financial products that reflect the value of their underlying assets. Regulated, transparent, and highly liquid, ETFs provide investors with access to assets they might otherwise be unable or unwilling to hold directly. This format is especially appealing for cryptocurrencies, as it offers a regulated, widely accessible, and tax-efficient investment option.

Since 2013, the US Securities and Exchange Commission has consistently rejected all spot Bitcoin ETF applications. Firms such as VanEck, WisdomTree, Bitwise, ARK Invest, 21Shares, and Grayscale faced repeated refusals.
