As Donald Trump took office, the crypto landscape in the United States began to shift dramatically. Previous leadership at regulatory agencies known for their anti-crypto stance were removed one by one. Despite skepticism, particularly from figures like Gensler, the approval of Bitcoin $111,484 and Ethereum $4,484 ETFs under the new administration has reassured many. The possibility of seeing a batch approval for altcoin ETFs is now being considered a reasonable expectation rather than mere optimism. Recently, a new all-time high application was submitted for the SEI Coin. Investors and enthusiasts alike wonder what other altcoins are included in this movement.
90 Altcoin ETF List
The count of ongoing ETF applications reached 91 after 21Shares made a submission for SEI Coin. While it might sound audacious, many ETF companies are seizing this opportunity under Trump’s administration to push forward. During Paul Atkins’ period, the expectation of altcoins receiving collective approval led to a surge in applications, intending to create a significant crypto index in U.S. markets.
The complete list, showcased above and below, reveals that 90 ETFs await SEC’s nod. The SEC, in response, is committed to developing a legal framework for a wholesale approval process across altcoins.
Altcoins such as LINK, SOL, PENGU, APTOS, ONDO, DOGE , and BNB are on this extensive list. It’s anticipated that the bulk will be resolved by October. In a less optimal scenario, November or December would mark the end of deferred decisions with many approvals expected. The volume of applications is substantial, with Grayscale striving to convert all its trusts into ETFs—a process that’s been ongoing. While some applications concern Ethereum staking permissions, nearly all pertain to altcoins.
Once approved, U.S. exchanges will allow investors to trade altcoins as effortlessly as if they were on a crypto exchange. Perhaps even more consequential is the potential for retirement funds to allocate 1% or more into chosen altcoins. This shift promises increased liquidity and the potential for significant market growth.
