In December 2024, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas predicted that a Litecoin spot ETF could potentially be approved before XRP and SOL. Balchunas stated:

"We expect a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs to emerge in 2025, although they won't all appear at once. The first ones are likely to be BTC+ETH combination ETFs, followed by Litecoin and HBAR (since they are not classified as securities), and then XRP and Solana."
