Experts Positive on Crypto Altcoin ETFs This Year: Will XRP, ADA, and SOL Benefit?
The crypto space has been abuzz with speculation about the potential approval of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) ETF. As it turns out, experts are now positive that these types of altcoin-based ETFs will see a green light this year, potentially paving the way for XRP, ADA, and SOL to benefit.
The primary reason behind this optimism is the expected approval of Grayscale’s GDLC. According to Nate Geraci, president of the ETF Store, there is a “high likelihood” that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will grant its blessing to the fund.
What makes this development particularly significant is that the GDLC holds Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). This means that should the SEC approve it, it would create a stepping stone for U.S. spot ETFs focused on these specific altcoins.
The analyst points out that the proposed GDLC structure, which only holds private assets to less than 10% of its portfolio, is actually consistent with the Securities Act of 1933. This has led him to predict that the regulator’s positive stance could eventually lead to a “test run” for XRP, SOL, and ADA ETFs.
It is crucial to note that this development follows an unprecedented series of pro-crypto events in the United States. The fact that President Donald Trump’s involvement in the industry has emboldened asset managers and led to a flurry of altcoin ETF filings since early 2025 cannot be ignored.
