Based on recent SEC approvals and filings amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown which has allowed several procedural launches without active review, the altcoin spot ETF market is exploding.
Multiple sources confirm a surge in launches, with five spot crypto ETFs set to go live in the U.S. this week, building on the momentum from Bitcoin and Ethereum products. This follows the successful rollout of Solana ETFs in early November and XRP/Dogecoin products earlier this month.
These launches are driving institutional inflows, with early XRP and Dogecoin ETFs already seeing $250M+ and $11M in day-one volume, respectively. Broader predictions point to over 100 new crypto ETFs in the next 6 months, including staking variants, memecoins, and hybrids.

First-ever spot DOGE ETF; $11M inflows on debut, $1.4M day-one volume reported today. Strong memecoin momentum. Hybrid spot 40% direct XRP holdings; $32M+ trading volume already, up 15% intraday. Part of XRP ETF wave.
Pure spot exposure; leading XRP ETF pack with 1.3M+ shares traded yesterday. High liquidity expected. First U.S. spot BNB ETF; S-1 amendment filed recently. Targets Binance ecosystem growth.
Record $250M day-one inflows in prior XRP launches; focuses on direct custody. Look for GDOG and GXRP to continue building volume today/tomorrow, with XRPL potentially debuting mid-week. U.S. markets close early Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Friday, so launches may cluster Tuesday–Wednesday to avoid holiday slowdowns.
XRP has jumped 15%+ on ETF news, while DOGE sees spillover hype. Solana ETFs (e.g., Bitwise BSOL) added $57M inflows yesterday, showing sustained demand. This is part of a “second wave” post-shutdown delays. Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) filings are next, with 90% approval odds for LTC by year-end.
Solana (SOL) spot ETFs, which debuted in late October 2025 amid a wave of SEC approvals during the U.S. government shutdown, have marked a significant milestone in institutional crypto adoption.
Launched on October 28, these products provide direct exposure to SOL while enabling staking yields typically 5-7% APY, attracting investors seeking regulated access to Solana’s high-throughput blockchain ecosystem.
Despite broader market volatility—SOL has dropped ~20% from its October peak of $205 to around $145 today—the ETFs have shown remarkable resilience with 20 consecutive days of net inflows, totaling $568 million since inception.
This contrasts sharply with outflows from Bitcoin $151M net on Nov 24 and Ethereum $37M net on Nov 20 ETFs, signaling a rotation toward yield-generating altcoins. Key drivers include Solana’s DeFi, NFT, and memecoin ecosystem growth daily active users up 15% MoM, tokenization trends, and competitive fees.
However, ETF demand hasn’t yet translated to sustained SOL price appreciation due to macro de-risking and technical breakdowns below $150 support. Analysts project $2.7-5.5B in inflows within the first year, potentially capturing 10-15% of SOL supply via staking, which could tighten liquidity and support a rebound to $200+ by mid-2026.
November Highlights: $369M inflows month-to-date; second-biggest weekly at $421M early Nov. SOL traded at $145 down 5% daily, 20% from ETF launch, breaking $150 support amid 13% volume surge. Yet, ETF inflows correlate with rising Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), indicating genuine buying pressure from institutions.
Staking has locked 407M SOL up from 350M YTD, reducing sell pressure. ETFs pass ~6.3% APY, outpacing BTC/ETH yields and drawing $715M AUM. Solana ETFs bucked $513M crypto ETP outflows post-Oct liquidation event. X sentiment echoes this: “20 straight days… on rampage” and “record $39.5M inflow” highlight institutional FOMO.
JPMorgan eyes $6B inflows by mid-2026; price targets $200-400 if inflows hit $5B. Risks include correlation to BTC (r=0.85) and potential outflows if Fed cuts disappoint. Solana ETFs are a bright spot in a turbulent market, validating SOL as a “high-conviction” asset for diversified portfolios.
Watch for $160 resistance breakout on sustained flows. Analysts predict Bitcoin ETFs could triple gold ETFs’ size ($125B) soon. Stay tuned—volatility is high, but these launches signal crypto’s mainstream pivot.
