Exchange-traded fund (ETF) companies are considering the introduction of new crypto-oriented funds in 2025, following the significant launch of crypto ETFs in 2024.
Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Athanasios Psarofagis highlighted that additional submissions from ETF providers are expected this year.
“This represents the ongoing development of launches aimed at integrating crypto strategies into ETFs,” the analyst remarked, referencing the influx of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds approved last year.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) authorized the initial group of crypto ETFs – spot Bitcoin products – in January 2024. In July, the agency approved several spot Ether ETFs.
Moreover, cryptocurrencies have experienced substantial price surges recently, attributed to Trump’s pro-crypto victory. Bitcoin surpassed $100,000 on December 5, following a convergence of factors that propelled the price upward.
“It’s the trending topic — issuers prefer to act when the theme is popular. We will see crypto in all forms,” analyst Psarofagis stated.

A number of crypto-related products have been submitted to the US SEC recently. Some funds were deemed “potentially riskier” to attract more investors into the crypto sector, according to Bloomberg.
For instance, ETF issuer ProShares suggested a fund that would measure the S&P 500’s returns in BTC. Additionally, Try Asset Management and REX Shares proposed products that would invest in convertible bonds and derivatives.
Meanwhile, another ETF giant, Volatility Shares, is filing for a Solana fund, along with a vehicle that would track the token using futures contracts.
If the submissions receive approval from the regulator, 2025 could see the launch of over a dozen crypto funds, the report indicated.
The filings come at a time when BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) product excelled last year, marking “the most successful launch in ETF history.” Furthermore, MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor capitalized on the rising Bitcoin prices by acquiring the leading token for his company’s reserves.
“This is the progression of the crypto ETF landscape,” stated Todd Sohn, ETF strategist at Strategas. “Futures-based, spot, thematic, and now convertibles, each highly specific for MicroStrategy and any others who may engage in a similar manner.”
