Experts Positive on Crypto Altcoin ETFs This Year: Will XRP, ADA, and SOL Benefit?

Main Idea

The SEC is expected to approve Grayscale's Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) as an ETF, which could pave the way for future altcoin ETFs, including those tracking XRP, Solana, and Cardano.

4. Institutional demand for crypto ETFs is rising, with spot BTC ETFs attracting over $2.2 billion in inflows recently.
